Back FOREIGN Aid
Robert E. Crispen.


The League Of Women Vot-
ers in the Washington area
wants to reiterate its support
Of the Presidents program for
foreign economic aid. At the
same time we want to urge
the people of our community
thoughtfully to do the same.
We urge full appropriation for
United States and United Ma
tons technical assistance. We
also urge establishment Of the
Development Loan Fund" as
recommended. These are vital
parts of the foreign aid pro-
gram and the ones severely
threatened.
The future Of the United
States is bound up with the
welfare of people in other parts
of the world. The League be-
lieves that in the long run it
is thrifty to spend money now
to help other nations in their
efforts to raise their standards
of living and to develop their
economies. In an interdepend-
ent world the economic and
political health of all countries
directly affects the prosperity
Of the United States.
1t also follows that foreign
aid offers a means Of effec-
lively aSsociating the United
States with the positive move
ments in underdeveloped areas.
In such way economic prog
ress can help Illustrate the
Communist techniques. Prof.
w. w. Rostow Of the Mass
achusetts Institute of Techn-
ology points out the long
term philosophy when he says
that. 1T is not a question Of
hungry men making good
Communists. 1t is a question
of men coming to feel that
progress can be made toward
the larger human goals of
their revolution by democratic
means in association with the
United States and the West.
In the longer run it is TO the
American interest to achieve
this association for reasons
which transcend the Commu-
mist challenge"

President Eisenhower, at his
press conference yesterday,
placed tremendous emphasis
on the Importance of the dis
armament conferences now
proceeding in London. His
optimism that something may
be accomplished was impress
sive-both here and abroad.
For a decade-ever since the
close of the last world war
the United States. along with
other peace-minded nations.
has pressed for an agreement
for arms limitation-f1rst as a
measure of insuring world
peace and second as a means
of lifting the tremendous bur-
den, through taxation, Of the
cost of great ornaments from
the back of the American
people and of the peoples of
the rest of the world. The
President, ever since he en-
tered the White House, has
pointed to peace as the great
est issue of our times. in this
day of the atomic and hydro
gen bomb. 1t has been his pri-
mary mission as Chief Execu-
tive of the United States and
as leader of the Western world
to advance that cause. Dis
armament is an all-important
corollary of world peace.
1t is entirely clear that the
President intends firmly to
press for an understanding be-
tween this country and the
Soviet government of Russia.
He does not intend blindly to
go forward but he believes, and
he said as much. that the new
offers made by Russia re-
garding disarmament-three-
pronged as they are-should
be given sympathetic as we'll
as earnest study. He regards
these proposals as hopeful
signs" He would not commit
himself. however, on any OF
the proposals until he has all
the details before him.
Supports Stassen
1t is of no little interest that
President Eisenhower came to
the support of Harold E. Stas-
sen, Americas chief negotiator
at the London Conference.
Only a week ago, StasSen was
held up to ridicule widely in
this country as a bungler. a
kind of bull in a china shop
who had alarmed and offended
our Western allies, by talking
directly with the Russians
Indeed, it was reported that
Stassen, who had flown back
here for consultation, was
given a serious dressing down
at the State Department. Be-
fore he left to return to Lon
don, Stassen denied that he
had been reprimanded. In
view Of the widely circulated
report and the denial by Stas-
sen. a reporter asked the Presi.
dent whether Stassen had in.
deed been reprimanded. With.
out the slightest hesitation
the President replied: "Ht
was not reprimanded." Fur.

Honesty Appreciated

In a recent issue of The
Star. in the story of the wan
dering Navy shell, was printed
the following quotation: I'VE
came here years ago, knowing
about Dahlgren and what was
going on there, so I don't
think we can complain too
much now" MRS. Gunter. in
whose yard the Grant projec-
tile landed.)
In these days when lawsuits
for fantastic damages for
imaginary or. at best, dubious
injury make front pages it is
a little disheartening to find
such a demonstration Of hu-
man understanding and per-
sonal honesty buried away in
the paper as it was.
Perhaps the attitude DEM
onstrated is even something
more-perhaps here is a case
in which a member Of our
civilization recognizes that the
work of Dahlgren and other
test facilities is contributing
to defense and that in test
programs sometimes things go
wrong. Perhaps Mrs. Gunter
feels a debt to those unher-
aided workers in all test ia
cilities who accept daily risks
as part of their jobs.
At any rate her attitude de-
serves more recognition than
given. Certainly people like
Mrs. Gunter deserve as much
recognition of their honesty
as is given the legal attempted
banditry of a few of the more
spectacular damage claims.
At any rate here is one
small voice to cry, Hail to
Mrs. Gunter! The future OF
our Nation rests with people
like you"

alterations Of some of our
youngsters?
Religious liberty is much too
precious to be turned over to
the state simply because we
are having some unusual-and

some Of our adolescents. And
I trust that religiously mott
waited people will not be fooled
into believing that the public
schools are a proper vehicle
for religious indoctrination.
Such a course can only lead to
weakening of our religious
liberties and a serious impair
ment of our educational sys-
tenn.

not believe that the posting of
copy of the Ten Command
ments on a schoolroom wall
would have the slightest ten
dency to weaken our religious
liberties or impair our educa-

The most uncanny human
trait. Templeton Jones says. is
the ability of some people to
turn on and off their recogni-
ton and speaking. like a spigot.
Jones was brought up to be-
lieve that once you speak. you
should speak all the time. but
this new type seems never to
have heard Of that.
The new type Of human
speaks only when it pleases
him.
He will walk past you ten
times a day, with downcast
eyes. or eyes looking into flu
turity or something.
Then, all of a sudden. he will
rush UP. with a friendly CLEAN
in his now-opened eyes. and
demand a contribution.

The dear lady who never
so much as knows you in your
home block all of q sudden
appears at your door with a
friendly smile Cat LAST and a
clear demand for money.
Contributions nowadays are
a dime a dozen, except the
dime in each case is a dollar or
more.
often. there is a scale Of
demands on the reverse side
of the card which bears your
cursed name in neat type
writing.
The scale clearing implies
that unless you kick in with
what is expected, you can go
to the devil.
Temp Jones belongs to an
old-fashioned group, whose
members feel that such de-
mands should be prefaced by
friendship.
He thinks people who speak
once. if ever, should do it all
the time. that they should
make a sort of rite out OF it,
a religious thing, indeed, since
honor is the basis Of being.
Speak up. son, once is not
enough.
Speak consistently, you little
brute. or speak not at all.
That is Jones way of doing.
He believes in speaking many
times a day. If necessary.
An old-style human was his
example of how not to act, in
such cases.
This man, clever, vital. but
lacking, spoke once a day and
no more.
He once passed friend in
the corridor.
He spoke.
Hello" he said, in the best
casual manner.
A few hours later he went
by the friend again.
This time. the friend spoke
first.

The scroll originally belonged

AS directed, the keepers even
