Request by Pentagon
To Control Military
Aid Funds Reported
BY the Associated Press

Top military chiefs repeatedly
asked Congress yesterday to give
them exclusive and clear control
over major military decisions in
foreign aid.
Congress members who were
present said the request was made
by Defense Secretary Lovett and
Gen. Omar N. Bradley, chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, before
a Senate House conference COM
mittee. The group is trying in
closed sessions to adjust Senate
and House versions of the Foreign
Aid Bill.
The House voted to spend ST.
498,750,000 in foreign military and
economic assistance to anti-Com-
munist nations. 1t proposed estab-
fishing a separate new agency to
administer it.
The Pentagon chiefs, acting
Economic Cooperation Admins
tration Director Richard M. Bis
sell, jr., and Undersecretary oi
State James E. Webb all opposed
that idea in yesterdays commit
tee session, informants said.
The Senate approved $7,286..
250,000. 1t directed the Defense
Department to handle most mill
tary expenditures and the ECA
most of the economic eXpendi-
lures, with the State Department
directing the relatively small
Point -Four" funds for under
developed regions.
Mrs. Lovett and Gen. Bradley
repeatedly favored this program,
except they asked for a clearer
definition of areas of responsible
ity.
Mr.. Webb was said to have
urged placing overall control of
the program under the State De-
partment, because of foreign pol
lcles.
The conference committee
reached no decision. 1t adjourned
until tomorrow when several
compromise proposals are ex-
pected.

SCHOOL NEWS

Hardin highs sophomores
proved their mettle, spirit and
durability throughout a hazard
Gus day last Friday.
In the guiSe of people out of
the days of Alley Oop, wearing
gunny sack hides and bone
hairdreSSeS, some exposing a
brave length of bare leg to the
brisk autumn morning, they APP
peared dutifully at school. They
were then bounced upon by
bloodthirSty seniors and juniors,
who, though propitiated with
numerous candy bars and hard
boiled eggs, were bent upon in
flicting indignities upon the
sophs.
The day, for these cave peo-
pie, was filled with crawling,
salaaming and being anointed
excessively with lipstick and
eye shadow. At the game in
the afternoon, some of the cave
ladies were made to parade for
the, amusement of the crowd.
AT night the annual mixer was
held in their honor, but even
there they had little peace.
At a kangaroo court presided
over by Judge Art Kunau, many
of their number were tried on
far-fetched charges such as
flirting with seniors or even
battering them on the football
field. Attorney for the defense,
Doug Patterson (wearing a Ku-
KluX looking mask, was of lit
tie value to his clients. Once
when asked if he had any COM
ment he shouted, Guilty."
Don Holland was the heart
less prosecuting attorney and
Jerry Russell the hard-boiled
foreman of a junior-senior jury.
All of the sophs were found
guilty, and their sentences were
greeted with shouts from the
mob. Several had to take part
in a pop-drinking contest, some
were made to walk b~lindfolded
among eggs, and one poor fell
low was forced to let two SEN
ior girls kiss him.
At least he emerged from the
torture chamber - to which he
had been dragged kicking and
protesting-with a dozen scar
let lip prints on his face.
After this prolonged ordeal,
the atmosphere changed to one

theological upheavalS of past
years, the great majority of
American Jews continue to iden-
tify themselves with historic
Judaism. Whether or not they are
personally observant, most of our
people continue to view tradition
al Judaism as the norm of Jewish
life. There is, too, the constant
growth of Jewish schools and in
situations of learning = Syna-
gogues, Talmud Torahs, Day
Schools, Rabbinical Seminaries
and great University-most of
them firmly rooted in American
soil.
Most important of all, perhaps,
is the great number of convinced,
observant Jews who have Sue
ceeded in making Torah-true
Judaism an indigenous part of
modern America. Traditional Ju-
daism can be fully satisfied with
its aristocracy of learning and in
tellect. 1t has nurtured the best
minds in American Jewry. The
future leaders of American Jewry
can be no other than those who
have gained their superior Jew
ish equipment and deep convic-
lions in the Orthodox home or
school.
There is, of course, debit side
as well. Although most of our
people are inwardly loyal to the
Jewish way of life, far too many
honor it in the breach rather than
in practice. Great numbers of our
people continue to wander about
in spiritual chaoS-lacking, as
they do, the full Indignation of
