the Reds intended, our traditional
and fundamental respect for prop

The Herculean labors of Senator
LANCER 10 expose this fostering
sore deserve national attention, re-
spect and thanks-and they de-
mand the Congressional surgery
outlined in the Dirksen-Kilgore
Bill.
Mr.. LANCER insists that Presi-
dents Roosevelt, Truman and
Eisenhower are innocent of con-
nivance in this ali i-American con-
fiscation policy, but have been made
by Red plotters to appear as sup
porters.
81 appeal to President Eisen-
hover" he said, ''to put an end to
the confusion, and lead the way
back to basic principles"
Perhaps, as the Senator sug-
geas, ventilation of the whole sor-
did record, plus release of the
sc, 900 words OF Yalta documents
still withheld by the Administra-
ton, might provide Qualification.
But only Congress can end the
Communist-serving confusion" in
our national morals.

In The Lap OF The Senate
The issue of foreign aid is not
q matter of party politics in the
Congress. In spite of the most
extreme Administration efforts, en-
listing the support of Speaker Ray
burn and House minority leader
Martin, and involving a last min
ute Presidential plea with which
Mr.. Martin interrupted debate on
the floor, the House voted 1872 to
112 to override the White House
demand that the % per cent foreign
aid cut voted by the House Foreign
Affairs committee be at least par
TALLY restored.
Senate action on the 4.9 billion
appropriation request might con-
celvas5ly change the picture, but
Republican Leader Martin conced-
ed defeat and said there would be
no further attempt at restitution in
the House.
Probably neither side is right,
even though a reduction seems a
move in the right direction. But
the question that received INSULT
cient attention at the proper time
in the foreign aid discussion is
whether or not any appropriation
whatsoever can be realistically
made at this time. AS has been
pointed out from time to time,
such a lack would hardly cause the
foreign aid program to fall on its
face-with carryover of five bill
lion in unspent funds.
Asked his views on Congress
sional proposals to cut the back
slid Marshal Tito off from u. S.
largesse, President Eisenhower told
his press conference that he did
not think the Tito incident at total
loss, but that our stand should DC
reevaluated. "We have to take
look at where we stand with this
individual now, and what serves
our best interests" he said.
Which would seem to be sound
advice-with respect to the whole
global hand-out picture, In view of
Tito's recent and lavish reaffir-
nation of LOYALTY to Moscow. it is
reasonable to. suspect that the
guns we have furnished him would
he turned on us, should the USSR
decide it's time to eliminate the
capitalists. PerhaDs thera's some
Doubt as to which wav the U. S.
gift-guns would point in other sec
tors. That leftover five billion
would keen the give-away pipeline
cushing, without putting a head on
It. while we made a serious effort
tn find out whether we can buy
friendship, from whom and for how
much.
Rut rrohably, for another year,
its too late.
"RUSSIA'S ENEMIES know the
strength of the Soviet fist, re-
marked Premier Bulganin to Mar
shall Tito. Could it be that's why
we are now instituting a program
of swapping visits with the Krem-
Inns jolly-boys, those dissemina-
tors of sweetness and light and
propagators of peace? Does CO.
existence demand pot-luck too?
