Churchill Does
Not Want Money

Prime Minister Churchill as
sured congress that Britain can
get along on it's own and declared
Il have not come here to ask for
money"
The statements drew applause
from the legislators and others
who packed the house chamber at
a joint session to hear the British
leader.
Instead, Churchill said, he came
to the U. S. to Survey the scene
with cool eyes, undimmed by hate
or passion, and with righteous in
spiration."
In a voice that was strong, al
though marked by age, the Prime
Minister assured the congress that
he had not come to ask the u. S..
to make life more comfortable
or easy for u.s."
He said that was England's lot
and that her people must ''look
after" themselves.
Churchill said that his talks with
U. S. officials have been "of
great value" adding:
"We had a lot to talk about to
understand each others feelings
and thoughts and to do what is
best for the common cause"
He commented that this was his
third address before congress and
said this "honored" experience
was unique for a man who is
not an American citizen.
Churchill said Britain must help
herself. But he also reminded con-
gress that in World War Ii, she
fought from first to last, I'M
conquered and for awhile Alone"
carrying her share of the burden.
The British leader told congress
Britain will require u. S. aid in
rearming. He added:
cit is for you to judge to what
extent you shall assist us. Wheth-
er you aid US much or little, we
shall do our share"
He then declared: give come
here to ask not for gold but steel;
not for favor but equipment"
Churchill declared that "your
majestic o~bliteration Of all you
gave US for lend-lease will never
be forgotten. ;"
He also referred to the loan
granted to Britain by congress in
1916. He said it was ''spent mainly
in helping others"
The Prime Minister said he
wanted to ~reiterate what he said
six years ago at Fulton, Mo-, that
no one should t'underrate" the
ability of the British people to
do their part.
He stated: "Do not suppose we
shall not come through these dark
days. -"
Churchill said that if the popu-

A good companion to neat hose

Corning Explains Plan.
DR.. Corning said his main OBJ
lection was that the students
couldn't be paid. There was also
question, he said, as to whether
they could give the teaching serv-
ice needed.
The white parents group OBJ
jected to the loss of counselor
service in the senior highs. One
of the two counselors at each high
school, both white and colored, is
slated for teaching duties.
DR.. Corning told reporters today
he feels people are unduly exer-
cised" about the counselor loss.
He pointed out the counselors will
be back in their regular jobs in
February.
Many more children would be
disrupted if white classroom
teachers were taken away, he said.
Originally DR.. Corning said %
additional colored teachers would
be provided through the shifts.
While only 20 are expected now,
DR.. Haynes said the other three
might be obtained later.
Contingency Fund Needed.
DR.. Corning said he is preparing
written explanation of the teacher
situation for Board of Education
members. He said he will make it
public next week.
The two main reasons for the
shortage, he saids are that teacher
needs can't be anticipated in ad-
vance and the school budget has
been cut drastically year after
year. The cuts have been made
by the Commissioners and Con-
greSS.
The superintendent said a
strong effort will be made to get
permission to anticipate needs
and to transfer surplus construc-
ton money.
He said it is Uncomfortable"
that the schools shouldn't have
some kind of contingency fund.
