School Aid and Civil Rights

The information furnished to
Committees has a decided effect
upon what legislation will be
considered and the provisions it
contains when it is reported for
the approval of the full member
ship of the House of Representa-
tiveS. Measures now under study
in House committees are to pro-
vide Federal aid for school con-
struction and set up Federal
safeguards for civil rights. Both
of these measures were consider
ed by the House last year when
the school measure was defeated
and the civil rights issue passed
only to die in the Senate.
1t now appears that last years
debates will be repeated on both
of these highly controversial
proposals within the very near
future since the leadership has
given them high priority on the
legislative schedule.

Fish and Wildlife Service

The nations 25 million fisher
men and hunters spent over
three billion dollars in pursuit
of these sports IN 1855, an amount
about equal to that spent for
electricity by all householders in
the United States. This figure
is reported in a letter which I
have received from the Secretary
of the Interior outlining some of
the Fish and Wildlife Services
conservation program for 1857.
One of the Services activities
known we'll to southeastern
Ohio's sportsmen is the Federal
fish hatchery at Seneca Lake.
Repeated reports of plans to
close this hatchery have come
to my attention in the past year.
However, | have been assured
again that no such action is con-
templated and that the hatchery
will continue to stock the streams
and lakes of our area.

The entire nation was recently
shocked and mortified during the
same week by two dastardly
crimes committed in South
eastern Ohio. The first was when
an infuriated Chesterhill, Morgan

and killed his two small children
aged one and three years, fired
several shots into his wife and
then committed suicide with the
same gun, still smoking.
A few nights later another
crime was committed only two
or three counties away from the
scene of the first shooting when

alleged to have shot and killed

which Moscow had held up in

Since the Bucharest meeting
last August, American observers
found Yugoslavia taking a
foreign-policy position almost
exactly parallel with the So
Wet Unions. Marshal Tito
backed Poland's claim to the
Oder-Ne territoriese which
Germany claims. His delegation
to the United Nations voted
against censuring the Soviet
Union again over the Hungar-
ian question at the reconvened

Like India. Yugoslavia at
tempts to form a bridge on

President Tito has sold Soviet
Leader Nikita Khrushchev on
these principles-at least to the
extent of persuading him to
pay lip-service to them. Mr.
Khrushchev ignored those prin-
ciples a year ago in Hungary,
however. and Marshal Tito re-
acted sharply. There was an
other Soviet-Yugoslav falling
out.

Then came the downgrading
of Defense Minister Georgi
Zhukov because he has openly
stated his devotion to building

tary aid despite their needs.
In the end, of course, it will
be President Josip Broz Tito
who decides what Yugoslavia
will do. If his past record for
clever international politicking
is any clue, he will make his
decision on the basis of cold
logic rather than emotion. But
he. too, is probably conscious of
the undertow of discomfort
within his government.
Yugoslavia's foreign policy is
based on the same foundation
as India's. This is the judy
ment that YugoSlavia's under
developed economy needs a
long period of peace in which
to mature and improve the ma

her efforts are directed toward

Why Tito Stayed Nome
Western observers think OF
two reasons for Tito's decision
to stay home, although, OF
course. the Marshal himself has
not confided in them. First,
they believe he probably pre-
ferred not to become involved
IN the pulling and hauling
which must now be going on in
the wake of the Zhukov custer.
Second, Yugoslavia could at the
same time give the West new
evidence that it is not the
supine servant of Soviet Com
munist policy.
Belgrade was disappointed
and more than a little dis
gruntled. Marshal Tito COM
planned:
"Any move on our part to
improve relations with the So
Wet Union and the other peo-
ple's democracies usually gives
rise to misgivings and to all
kinds of speculation in the
West. Some even seek to derive
benefits from this fact.
