Aid To Polish

WASHINGTON, (Nc) - The
United States has promised the
Polish government of Wladyslaw
Gomulka $48 1900, 900 in aid to

The US. government said it

and cotton, if and when Con-
gress acts on bill to authorize
the sale of a billion dollars
worth of surplus agricultural

The agreement ended three

that this country would help any

US. aid to Poland had the tacit
support of His Eminence Stefan
Cardinal Wyszynski, Primate of
Poland. In speech at Warsaw
in early April, when the first
Polish requests were made, he
called it an urgent necessity that
his country get foreign aid.

Senator Mcclellan has plenty of rea-

issue, that I'VE will certainly pursue this
matter" 1t should be pursued until the
committee gets the answers to number
of questions, including these: Did the
Navy knowingly put up the money with
which contractor paid off labor rack
eteer? Did the contractor pay all or only
part of the money to the racketeer? Was
this bride paid by the contractor, or
was it money extorted by the union off,
Gals? Would it have been possible for the
contractor, who was delivering material
to Government project, to have gotten
his trucks through without paying brides
or submitting to extortion, as the case
may have been? If the answer to this
last question is no, what does Congress
intend to do about it?
We hope very much that Senator
Mcclellan will pursue the matter, and
that he and his subcommittee will come
up with the answers.

Quoted himself with striking maturity
throughout the tumultuous events of the
past few weeks, has CONTEMPORARY ridi-
culed the charges for what they really
are-sheer propaganda lacking even the
remotest resemblance to the truth.
Thus, lest anybody have any doubts
about the matter, King Hussein has
summed up his governments recent ac-
tions in these emphatic words: Every
thing that took place in Jordan was Of
our own doing, and 1t was what we believe
and still believe was right for the inter-
ests OF this country" Further, voicing
the belief that the Jordanian crisis is
over, he has proclaimed to his own people,
to the neighboring Arab states and to
the world at large that international
communism - not American "interfer-
ence," as alleged by Moscow-is what
has been and still is the real threat to

Health of Children

On this Child Health Day. designated
by presidential proclamation as time
to review the accomplishments and the
needs in the field Of children's health,
1t is gratifying to learn that special en-
phasis is being placed this year on the
mental as well as the physical ills of the
younger generation. AS Secretary Folsom
of the Department of Health, Education
and Welfare has pointed out, many of
the physical scourges of children in the
past have been conquered or drastically
curtailed by medical science. Diphtheria,
rheumatic fever, scarlet fever, polio and
other diseases which once took a heavy
toll among boys and girls have yielded
remarkably to antibiotics, vaccines or
other medicines and techniques.
But only recently has much attention
been paid on national scale to the
scourge Of mental retardation or brain
Affections In general. 1t is appropriate,
therefore, that Child Health Day. 1857,
should be dedicated to the cause of chill
dren's mental health. Medical research
has shown that much can be done to
cope with mental retardation, either
through medical treatment or through
improved educational courses designed
to At the special needs Of retarded chill
dren. Such children will benefit from
expert diagnosis and care, rather than
pity. They deserve all the help that
science and the school and the home
can give them.
