Paternalism In Government

DRESIDENT Dwight d. Eisenhower has
said he wants the federal government
to foot the bill for one hundred million
dollars worth Of flood relief in several
northeastern states where recent floods
caused almost 2a0 deaths and untold eco
nomc disaster.
Shortly before that, the President had
declared some sections of the South At
iantIc coaAtline disaster areas as Il result
Of hurricanes. The cost to the federal gov
eminent in this case also ran into many
millions.
Last year the federal government came
to the aid of many areas where a drought
had destroyed crops and prevented yields
which would provide living standard
Again many millions Of dollars were spent
to cushion the impact Of disaster which
threatened the livelihood of citizens
In the latest disaster, however, the
President Is following course which will
somcday lead to trouble. Since the federal
government wants to spend eighty to a
hundred million dollars for flood relief and
since this money il not available in any
special fund for such purpose. the money
was scrapped up from various agencies and
funds. with the thought that Congress
would replace such monies at It's next
session.
Mr.. Eisenhower was in touch with CON
gressional leaders on this question, but
