Congressional
Viewpoint
Sen. John Marshall Butler

On The Horns Of A Dilemma
Soon, the Congress will again
consider the matter of foreign aid,
AS now presented the program in
wolves requests for appropriations
totalling about SAT billion and au-
thority to engage in long-term
commitments estimated at 500 mil
lion. The scope and size of this new
proposal has many in a quandry
and approval is uncertain.
This delimma stems from several
factors. First, SAT billion would
exceed last years appropriations
by some 81 billion. Second, uneX-
pended foreign aid funds from
previous appropriations total near
ly S45 billion. Third, although the
original mutual aid program-the
Marshall Plan-Was intended TO
last four years, various dangers are
ascribed to any long-term policy.
In the past Is years, the US has
assisted other countries, through
grants and loans, to the sum of

velopment of the Mekong River in
the Far East, obligations of an
extended nature must be under
taken. But, to eliminate the annual
Congressional audit, and thus the
traditional control of any part of
mutual assistance funds would, it
is generally believed, give perma-
nent set to our bountiful habits.
AS a solution to this dilemma, it
seems to me that an independent,
bipartisan commission should be
established, on a continuing basis,
for the purpose of studying and
evaluating the need, character and
extent of foreign aid in the light
of changing domestic and world
conditions. Inevitably, there must
come time when our offerings to
other nations must be drastically
reduced.

Stanley told the executive COM

mend legislation suggested last
November by the commission with
the exception of a pupil assign
ment plan.
The assignment plan has been
attacked in recent months as MAX

Gov. Stanley also said he would
ask the legislature for authority
ito withhold from a locality GER
tain state school funds whenever it
is determined the public interest,
safety or welfare so requires"
He added: II am convinced this
authority is necessary to insure
the orderly operation of our public
schools throughout Virginia as
heretofore"
The announcement by Stanley
Monday was the first indication of
his legislative feelings.

No Secession, But
From the New York Times

The unanimous declaration of seven Southern Demo-
cratic state charmen party loyalty party unity and
civil rights is interesting political document 1t
makes completely clear what already evident, that
there is little taste this year for anything along the
lines of the secession of 1913, when the bolt real
and honest" eve do not favor any bolts wak-outs
third parties We believe in the twOparty SYSTEM, said
the chairmen. There is every to believe
them.
This is not to say that an open split is inconceiv
able; but it is unlikely The South represented by its
leading political figures is watchful worried and SuS
picious lest the segregation issue be pointed up
sharply at the convention that compromise becomes inn
possible But it doesn't want to leave the party, if for
other than that has nowhere else to 60 The
Republicans haven't seriously tried to build second
party in the South In the words of Southern lead
the Southern Democrats just don't want to be in
suited embarrassed by their Northern brethren they
don't want to be beaten the head by the liberals;
they don't want the platform to draw the issue of civil
rights and segregation too explicitly. Such decara
ton the 1852 platform contained would be sufficiently
vague to satisfy the Southerners today
The document of the chairmen is interesting
not only because of what it depores division within
the party but also because of what it advocate e. pro-
lection of he rights of the states and of the people
guaranteed by the Constitution 1t is fascination to
how the same words different things to diff
feren 'The sovereign rights of the states, The
constitutional guarantees the rights of the people,
in the context of this document continuation OF
the Supreme Court, refusal to recognize complete
equality of the franchise of education sometimes
of economic opportunity.
To most of the rest of u.s. the words quite the
opposite They quite the opposite to major seq
ment of the Democratic party too; and 1t Will be quite
task that Representative John Mccormick of Massa-
chusetts and his platform committee face in trying to
reconcile the rreconcabe. Yet in the of party
harmony it has been done before and it will probably
be done again If it isn't the Democratic convention will
produce fireworks something good deal more
fundamental than the question of which candidate is
most likely to win.

Gold Coast Toward independence
From: The Christian Science Monitor

The land that provided perhaps the bulk of Africans
who became American slaves has now taken possibly
decisive step toward its freedom nation.
This is the Gold Coast, still technically West African
British colony but already largely administered by ma
tives with advice from British experts.
Britains Colonial Secretary had stated that If the
present Gold Coast Government headed by American
educated Prime Minister Kwame Nkrumah
sonable majority, Britain could date for indie
pendence Mr. Nkrumah appears to have clear ma jor
ty But balloting sparse in many parts of the
country that he seems to have carried the day by
virtue of the apathy of Gold Coast natives about their
country's future.
It may we'll be that the central issue of this election
somewhat beyond the comprehension of many of the
people, especially those of the Northern Territories and
of those in sophisticated Ashanti. 1t
was the issue of centralism versus federalism.
Mr. Nkrumah is a centralist. Indeed, he came to
power partly through British action to produce speedy
answer to demands for self-government This
action necessarily set up central administration before
political education at the grass roots had provided
terate electorate. 1t followed by British-guded
efforts to develop community and political sense
throughout the country via local discussion and cleo
tons.
Later the feelings of regions far from the capital
at Accra found voice in two very much smaller parties
than that of Mr. Nkrumah The result shown in the
election just closed slight reduction in the number
of seats Mr. Nkrumahs followers hold in Parliament but
still endorsement of his position for centralized
