InlS addition would only bring
the total figure up to s122, 800, 600.
But it is expected that Congress
win be asked for we'll over $780,
100000 more for schools, and, you
know how it is-a nickel here and
Ia dime there, do add up. Especially
when you have a budget to balance.
But, more significant than the
millions involved are the Objec-
tiVes. The need and the desire of
our state school systems for fed
eral aid has been hotly debated.
The recent and highly-rigged
1 White House Conference on Edu-
cation proved only the determin-
alton of bureaucrats-and the Ma
tional Education Association-to
federalizie the Three RS. Where
fore. the Congress might do little
probing of HEW witnesses before
handing out that extra $25, 900.
There might be some socialized
medicine plans hiding in that jack
pile.
Seeing Red
The General Assembly of the
United Nations has ended its his
tory-making tenth session in a
blaze Of glory for the Com
munist world.
The only effective resistance to
this sessions Red march came
from Nationalist China which-un-
supported by any other nation, in
cluding its noble ally, the U. s.
had the courage to veto the ad-
mission of that vast Red-controlIed
wilderness known as Outer Mon
golia, and noted principally as the
receptacle Of dinosaur eggs.
Final thumb-to-the nose to the
lofty principles mouthed at the
UN's founding ten years ago, was
to break the deadlock between the
Philippines and Yugoslavia for
membership in the Security Council
by splitting the two year term in
halves and drawing lots for first
crack at the new seat. Yagosy yavia
won, and, we are told, viii re-
sign after a year to let tbs Philip
pines finish the term.
Just year ago, our UN Am
bassador, Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr.
made a fine speech urging the
General Assembly to engage its
moral authority" to secure the
freedom Of UN POWs still incar-
cerated in Red China. It has be-
come increasingly clear since then I
that the UN possesses no author 1
lty, moral" or otherwise. And now,
since the package deal" admit
ting sixteen new nations, includ-
ing four Red Satellites and only
three that may be counted on to
stand against Communism, Russia
seems clearly in the drivers seat.
Thus, we can not quite agree
With the retiring President of the
Assembly, Chile's Jose Maza, who
said in his farewell speech that
he package deal woald INSPIRE
respect for the principles
# the charter" We also note that
he tenth annual cIambake closed
With a minute Of prayer and medi-
alton.
It seems a little late for the
after but only the former can help
low.

but expenditures for

inerence comes out of what are
