Byrd Reports;
On Aid Funds

If Congress grants President
Eisenhower's request for $40
billion of new foreign aid spend
ing authority. the Government
will start the fiscal year on July
l with a total of $11.5 billion on
hand for foreign aid, Senator
Byrd, Democrat of Virginia, said
today.
AS chairman of the Joint Com
mittee on Nonessential Federal
Expenditures, he issued a report
showing the unexpended balance
of old foreign aid money on June
80 will be $50 billion.
His report also points out,
however, that the administration
only plans to spend $4.3 billion
on military and economic assist
ance to friendly nations next
year, which is about the same as
this years spending level.
Second Of Factual Reports
The Byrd report drew no con-
illusions as to how much this
Congress should appropriate for
foreign aid, in view of the un-
Expended balance. It was the
second In a series of factual
statements on unexpended bal
ances in different areas Of Fed
Ieral activity.
But some other Democrats
have indicated they may try to
cut the $40 billion request. and
If they go through with their
suggestions, this report on I'M
spent balances probably will be
used as an argument.
Supporters of the Eisenhower
budget are expected to point out,
however, that large unexpended
balances are unavoidable. both
lin foreign aid and national de-
Tense programs. because most OF
the money is for planes, tanks
and other weapons that take
two or three years to build. They
always have commended that il
Congress whitfield down new au-
thorizations until existing bal
ances were used up. the Govern
ment could not order enough
equipment for delivery two OF
three years from now.
Funds Cut Last Session
The last session of Congress
cut new foreign aid funds fol
this year down to $2.7 billion
but actual spending this year
will exceed 81 billion. Admins
tration witnesses have testified
that the small authorization in
1855 is one of the reasons this
years request had to be raised
to $40 billion.
The House Foreign Affairs
Committee still is holding hear
ings on the foreign aid bill
and the Senate Foreign Rela-
tons Committee has just begun
to take testimony. 1t may be two
weeks or more before the first
test vote comes in the House
committee.

Gen. Curtis E. LeMay, head
of the Strategic Air Command
of the United States Air Force,
has made a sensational revela-
ton. Historians of the Korean
war will note it with extraor-
binary interest. He confirms,
in effect, what Gen. Douglas
Macarthur said five years ago
that the United States could
have won the war in Korea
and could have changed the
whole face of things in the
Far East by using maximum
power against the Red Chinese
bases in Manchuria.
Gen. LeMay didn't discuss
the Korean war nor Gen. Mac
Arthur's views as such, but his
answer to a prepared question
leaves no doubt that the
United States made a fatal
mistake in failing to press the
war to a victorious conclusion
in Korea in 1850 and 1851.
Here is the question asked by
the Senate Armed Forces sub
committee and Gen. LeMay's
answer:
@. Does the Strategic Air
Command now have combat
effectiveness sufficient to en-
able it to discharge its prin-
cipal responsibility?
"A. Yes: at the present time
and in spite of recent Soviet
gains in aircraft and weapons
technology and production. it
is considered that the Strategic
Air Command continues to
maintain sufficient advantage
over the Soviet offensive ca
pability to enable accomplish
ment of its primary roles.

conceivably produce results in
his more active cooperation
with the Democratic State or
ganization. though it would be
risky to predict that in view of
past performance.
Paul Buffers outspokenness
about Gov. Lausche was in
character. He has been bold
and frank in speaking and act
ing on his conviction that the
Democratic Party must adhere
to a progressive program. He
has been willing to stick his
neck out and openly criticize
President Eisenhower and the
administration. That is in con-
trast with the timidity ex-
hibited by most party leaders
in Congress. He exhibited his
forthrightness in the Lausche
incident and in his appearance
before the United States
Chamber of Commerce where
he was member of a panel that
included one other Democrat
and two Republicans.
The blast of boos came when
he said that vested wealth"
supported the Republic n
Party. This spontaneous reac-
ton told something of the au-
dience. as did its cheers for

Paul M. Butler, who learned
his politics In Indiana's no
holds-barred school, is rapidly
developing into one of the
more exciting national party
chairmen Of recent years and
a breezy influence in this
somewhat dull, Madison ave-
nue-made era of politics.
Thereby he makes news and
helps to define and sharpen is
sues and to create public in
terest. all of which should be
helpful to his Democratic
Party in the uphill fight SEEM
ingly ahead in this election
year.
Take this week. for example.
On one day he let fly at a
most popular Democratic Gov
ernor in the key State Of Ohio.
Frank J. Lausche. and on the
home ground of the five-times
chief executive who is can
didate for the United States
Senate in a crucial year. On
the next day. back here in
Washington, the Democratic
national chairman provoked
5000 businessmen assembled
in the U. S. Chamber Of Com
merce annual convention to
boo him roundly.
1t is almost unprecedented
for a national party chairman
to criticize a prominent party
figure, as Mr.. Butler did in the
case of Gov. Lausche for not
being helpful to the party.
The chairman is supposed to
take on faith everybody who
wears the party label, even il
it is worn somewhat askew or
under the hat, and break his
back to get all and sundry
elected. even if he must wear
binders in some cases. It is
even unusual for a party
chairman to speak unkindly Of
men who have openly bolted
the party, as did Chairman
Buffers predecessor, Stephen
Mitchell, about three Southern
Governors who left the party
In 1852 to support Gen. Eisen-
hover.
Gov. Lausche is not, Of
course. exactly in the latter
category. He came closest in
his tacit support in 1850 for
the late Senator Robert A..
Taft-"Mr. Republican"-in a
Statewide U. S. Senate con-
test. However, everybody in
Ohio-and many outside Of the
State-know chapter and verse
and in detail the Lausche po-
litical story at which Chairman

Here's a behind the-corFal

T steed. He's octupIetsl

Once in while, reporter runs across
story so explosive that he must consult
his conscience before putting the item on
paper. That was my feeling recently
when ! stumbled upon the following
piece of MISUNDERSTANDING news: Gene
Autry'S famous and beloved mount -
the one-and-only Champion is not
one but eight horses!
Four of Genes Champions look

of producers know - on TV shows, in

which Champ is champing at the bit.
The Seeond-Stringers
The four aIl-brown Champions standing
sheepishly in the back row are second
stringerS. None has a white blaze on
his face. But that never shows because
all they do is gallop in the distance.
Had this staggering scoop about
octuple quadrupedS not come straight
from the horse-owner's mouth, we might
have Scotched it for fear Of destroying
million Illusions and a Wild West
Empire. But it was Gene Autry himself
who gave me the cold facts.
Honest Injun,' he said. I'VE actually
have four full-time Champions. It's the
only humane thing to do. Subjecting one
poor horse to the daily grind of movie
and TV production - the hard riding,
shouting, pistol shooting and rough
mock battles = would be downright
cruelty. Not to mention the thousands
