Along the
Potomac
Rep. Dewitt Hyde

Washington, Aug. IS. - Con-
gress, in its closing days, has
passed a new foreign aid bill con-
tinuing the wise trend established
by the administration and the
first session of the 83rd Congress
last year.
More than rs per cent of the
funds in the new bill will be used
for direct military aid. If we
have another Congress similar to
this one, economic aid will be-
come a dead issue after next
year. Nearly all nations of the
free world are operating now at
economic levels considerably
above the days before World
War II.
In a new provision, 5000 mil
lion is set aside for loans, rather
than straight giveaways. Next
year, when the total appropria-
ton is cut still further, the loan
portion probably will be in
creased.
A third provision specifies
that $3.50 million must be spent
on surplus American farm goods,
helping put dent in the pile of
commodities which will be worth
nearly $40 billion by the end of
this year under the old and dis
astrous farm law.
The big question in the stormy
history of our foreign aid pro-
grams has always been at what
point we slam shut the vault in,
the U. S. treasury. American dol
lars have been used as a cold war
weapon on the theory that hun
cry people are not reliable allies.
But we now know that our Com
munist enemies fear and respect
cold steel and hot lead, hence the
greater emphasis on supplying
arms and military equipment.
By a year from now we hope
to see the end of the Foreign
Operations Admin S t r i n
which has administered foreign
aid under the Eisenhower Ad-
ministration. Military aid should
be transferred to the Defense De-
partment, and the refugee and
technical assistance programs to
the State Department.
Thousands of Americans =
many of whom blamed Herbert
Hoover for a great disaster at
one time-paid great tribute to
the former President the other
day on his 80th birthday. Time
and events have proved him to be
wiser man, greater states
man, than many people sus-
pected.
On my calendar: I will be visit
ing the Montgomery County Fair
next week.

EulIOT,
Montgomery County Sentinel:
Rockville housewives who don't
have the use of the family car
during the day are still waiting
for that shoppers bus line we
heard so much about.
Some weeks ago l read in the
Sentinel a list of names of the
merchants and businessmen who
had agreed to sponsor the bus
line. When inquired as to why
the bus hadn't started running,
was told that only half the mum.
Der of businessmen required had
signed up. What is the matter
with the others?
Don't they know that if we had
bus line we could ride down
town and shop for many things
during the day instead of waiting
until evening.
Don't they realize that when
we wait until evening when we
have the car we can just as well
go in the other direction, instead
of toward Rockville?
Don't they want our business
If Rockville ever does get a
shoppers bus I hope you will
print a list of the firms who spon-
sor it for, believe me, those are
the places where I shall do my
buying.

Parents need to overlook mis-
