20, wants to charge rural electric
and rural telephone borrowers 40.
Meanwhile, the need for compre-
hensive development - particularly
for upstream storage-in the Pacific
Northwest was emphasized once more.
AS of Aug. 81, the Bonneville Power
Administration again cut off inter-
ruptible power throughout it's system
because we are having the lowest
stream flows in history for this time
of year.
Farm-One Immediately notices the
absence of major farm legislation.
This years smallest crop of farm
laws in 80 years resulted from dead
lock between an Administration,
which has ignored the intent of Con-
gress for almost five years, and a
Congress. divided by the futility of
passing laws we know will not be
administered sympathetically.
The crop included the feed wheat
bill. continuation of the Soil Bank,
extension of the surplus disposal pro-
gram, compulsory poultry inspection
and the durum bonus acreage pro-
gram. And a subcommittee began
looking into the spread between
prices paid by consumers and those
received by producers.
Worthy of note in the Soil Bank
is the adoption of a family farm
cutoff" long advocated by Montana
Democrats in Congress. Acreage Re-
serve payments have a ceiling of
$4,000 per farm. A limitation of
$4,000 was placed on Conservation
Reserve payments.
Budget-After severely criticizing
the spending policies of his prede-
cessors in office, President Eisen-
hover in January submitted to Con-
gress a budget calling for the great
est peacetime spending in the history
of the country, $71.8 billion.
When his own Secretary of the
Treasury denounced the budget as
too large, President Eisenhower
agreed and invited Congress to cut
it. Congress had hardly settled down
to this challenging task, when Presi-
dent Eisenhower turned up on tele-
vision to warn the American people
that any cuts in the appropriations
he had requested for defense and
foreign aid would seriously imperil
the national security.
rhn fob in,
July. when he ordered his Cabinet
members to hold down spending to
the $40 billion level of last year.
Congress cut the Eisenhower budg-
ct by almost SO, over SIS billion.
Despite this budget cut, the Hell
ena Valley and Bitterroot reconstruc-
ton projects received adequate funds
for their progress next fiscal year.
Health-While there was bitter
controversy in other fields, there was
none on the vital question of federal
support of medical research.
President Eisenhower recommend
ed an appropriation of $50 million
for a stepped-up attack on disease
research. This was 81 million |
increase over last years appropria-
ton. Following hearings, Congress
the amount to $211 million.
II 4
Halfway - President Eisenhower
was turned down on a few issues.
Many others were modified, contrib !
uting to his disappointment. AS he
signs the bills, now that Congress
has adjourned, he will be critical of
every change from the request he
made and of course there will be
some he won't sign. But this Con-
gress did not meekly acquiesce in
every demand made by the President /
and that is as it should be.

Schools-We all lost on July 25
when the House, by vote of 2O8
to 203, killed the bill authorizing
general federal aid to the states for
school construction.
This was the bill President Eli
senhower said he wanted-untiI
its success or failure hung on his
expression of support on the day
the bill was voted on. Then there
was silence. A statement by Presi-
dent Eisenhower, prior to the vote,
that he would be disappointed if
school construction legislation was
not passed would have done a lot
more good than his mention of dis
appointment after the bill was
killed.
A shift of three votes would have
saved the bill. 81 Democrats and III
Republicans, including three of the
four Republicans holding positions
of party leaders in Congress, voted
against the bill. 1876 Democrats and
II Republicans voted for it.
Conservation - Federal multipur-
pose Hells Canyon died during this
Congress. So did Bruces Eddy Dam,
an attempt to regain some of the
storage sacrificed at Hells Canyon
but at the expense of irreplaceable
wildlife, fishery and scenic values.
II Dn,o,,b1.a,x,,
Interior Committee, joined by two
Democrats, voted to kill the Hells
Canyon bill passed by the Senate.
The measure was saved from death
by agreement to take it up again next
Feb. l. But by that time, the Idaho
Power Company will have one of it's
low dams so near completion as to
make comprehensive development al
most out of the question.
A few days later, conservationists
in Washington stopped the Bruces
Eddy drive cold.
The debate which preceded Senate
passage of the Hells Canyon bill |
focused national attention on the |
rapid tax write-off program, under
which commercial utilities have re-
ceived interest-free loans worth more |
to them than the federal government |
has invested in all it's power facilities
in the Northwest, in IVA, in REA
projects and all other power installa-
tions since the time of Teddy Roose-
welt.
AS a result, both houses passed a
bill to end this interest-free loan pro-
gram on Dec. 81, 1859.
Power-Another fight developed
out of legislation aimed at putting
the United States back in the race
Tor peacetime use of atomic energy.
AS it came from committee the bill
included authorization for federal de-
of reactors to generate
electric power, including government
aid for REA co-ops to build reactors.
On the floor of the House, the Re-
publicans opposed federal construc-
ton. They said the tagging program
should remain in commercial hands,
with the federal government paying
only for research, in which we have
so far invested more than SIS billion
of public funds. They succeeded in
knocking out the construction sec
ton, which was restored in the Sem
ate.
During this Congress, the Admin
istration continued its attack on
REA co-ops. President Eisenhow-
er's fiscal spokesman, the Budget
Director, proposed doubling the
29o rate at which REAs borrow
money. At the same time, the Ad-
ministration has renegotiated
loan with the British government
at 20. In other words, the same
Administration which loans money
interest-free to commercial utiii-
ties, to the British government at

economies of Western Europe.
If that could be accomplished,
the Communist job in the West

sort of indirect attack Com
munists use.
Even on the question OF
Israel there is no real agree
ment. Many Arabs would like tc
turn their backs on the prob.
lem and devote themselves tc
trying to bring about some meas
ure of stability in their world.
Israeli leaders I have inter-
viewed say they would gratefully
welcome such an attitude. They
too. say they believe only sta
bility among the Arabs, in gov
ernments and economies, offers
any chance of peace.
But in the Arab East there is
a desperate poverty of leader
ship. Much of it is leadership
by demagoguery. Arab politicians
can arouse passions over the Is
raeli issue. and this is an in
vitation to political power. A
leader can inf1ame 1.-The streets
and win support by promising an
Arab solution" to the twin ques-
lions of Israel and the million

may have no hope-indeed no
'intention-of following through
on the promises. But the situa-
ton is made to order for a polit-
lcal opportunist.

That fight is much more difficult
The Russians already are attack
ing one of two Arab worlds. The
Communists care little for the

are more interested in the worlc
of the Arab people. and par
ticularly that small world of edu-
Gated Arabs whose pent-up Bit

them inviting targets.
Arabs HOpeIessIy Divided
The Arab people and thei1
leaders mostly are at cross pur-
poses. You can't say "the Arabs
want this" or "the Arabs will
agree to that" The Arabs them
selves are hopelessly divided or

common enmity for Israel. They
are highly vulnerable to the

Britain left Palestine-Showed
the world what Western know
how and determination could do
with hostile soil. While her VIC
torious army. enlisting every
able bodied citizen in time of
emergency, stood guard on the
frontiers, Israeli pioneers made
desert areas bloom and built a
modern nation in the heart of

Israel has big problems.

land and surrounded by hostile
nations, her economy still de-
ponds on goods imported from
abroad.

Catholic colleges in a copyright
ed article in Crisis, official or
gan of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People. The magazine is pub
lished here.
The Jesuit commented that
since there are only about $4,000
US. Catholic Negroes, the Negro
population in Catholic institutions
of higher learning is not expected
to be a statistically sizeable one.
Another factor, Father Foley
wrote, is that about 70 per cent
of the schools are in the north
east and midwest, and conse-
quently there has been a lessen
ing of the likelihood of Negro en-
rollment in Catholic schools until
recent decades.
He said a principal force in Sc
curing the acceptance of Negro
students in Catholic and monde
nominational colleges has been

Negro students in these and 9TH
err Institutions"
The majority of students aided
by this program move into FORM
erly all-white colleges, often as
the spearhead in an experimental
effore at desegregation," he said.
He added, however, that the
scholarship program has not had
much success in getting Negro
students into formerly all-white
colleges in the South.
The major Catholic effort on
behalf of Negroes in the South
has been Xavier University, New
Orleans, founded in 1925. Within
recent years, he said, this institu-
ton has admitted white students
as well as Negroes, thus becom-
ing the first integrated institu-
ton in the Gulf Coast South"
Reviewing briefly the situation
Of some other Catholic schools in
the South, Father Foley said st.
'Mary's University, San Antonio,
adopted a firm policy of desegre-
cation in 1851.
"The two other Catholic col
leges in San Antonio, Our Lady
of the Lake College, and Incarnate
Word College, have also admit
ted and graduated similar num-
bers of Negro girls" he wrote.
In 1852. Loyola University, New
Orleans, desegregated those de-
partments not duplicated by Xav.
Ter, he said.
In Mississippi, the only institu-
ton of higher learning which is
desegregated is the formerly all
Negro seminary of the Divine
Word Fathers at Bay st. Louis, he
reported.
