The perennial push for

Associated Press Stan Correspondent
Close associates expect Presi-
dent Eisenhower to tawe per-
sonal command next week of a
new drive to get his begged
down legislative program through
Congress.
Congress comes back from a
pulse-feeling Easter vacation
Monday to face a legislative
pile-up behind which most of
the major Eisenhower proposals
have been stalled.
Mr.. Eisenhower will be back
in the White House early next
week after a work and play
vacation at Augusta. Ga. His first
order Of business will apparently
be to call legislative leaders OF
both parties together for a con-
ference on his foreign aid pro-
gram.
Administration officials look to
this conference as the opening OF
a drive by the President to get
early action in Congress on
school construction aid, a refu-
gee bill. civil rights and other
legislation.
Further Efforts Seen
Mr.. Eisenhower has been told
by some Of his advisors that al
though he has been plugging
for his program in his weekly
news conferences, some addi-
tional efforts may be necessary
to build up popular support for
his proposals. In this connec-
tion there has been talk that
the President might make some
national television appeals for
such support.
He was represented in top ad-
ministration circles as being de-
termined to stick firmly by his
recommendation for a $4.4 bill
lion foreign aid program.
That program is the chief tar
get of congressional efforts to
cut the Presidents $71.8 billion
spending budget. Senator Knowl-
and Of California. the Repub-
lican leader. has predicted a

the $4.4 billion Mr.. Eisenhower
requested ought to be cut in half.
Senator Morse said, on the
other hand. he thinks ut is
better to spend some tax dollars
for foreign aid than it is to pay
exceedingly high military costs
that would 60 along with the
sacrifice Of American boys in
Europe in unnecessary war;"

Morse said in a statement, that

Senator Mansfield of Montana,

even deeper reductions should
be made.
No Retreat Seen
Despite what is likely to be an
almost unanimous recommends
ton from the congressional lead
ers for reducing overseas SPEND
ing. Mr.. Eisenhower was reported
determined not to retreat from
the amount he set out in his
budget. The PRESIDENT was said
to feel that foreign aid repre-
sents a keystone in his admin
istration's international program.
Presidential advisers are well
aware they face a tremendous
battle in Congress on this issue.
They suspect also that Mr.. Eli
|senhower may have picked los
ing fight in his efforts to restore
funds cut by the House out of
the United States Information
Agency budget.
The House cut the agency's
request from $144 million down
to $106 million. President Eisen-
hover said this was "the worst
kind Of economy" adding that
international activities should
expand rather than decrease.
USIA funds are contained in
one Of several appropriation bills
passed by the House on which
the Senate thus far has not
acted.

there we're no people at all. only the jungle.
They had not gone far when they came on a
whole herd Of hippopotamuses swimming and
floating in the river and standing in the mud
along the bank. One Of them came out and
stood in front Of Hermione with his mouth
wide open. Hermione was extraordinarily
pleased and stood with her mouth wide open
in answer.
The other hippopotamuS went down TO the
river. and Hermione followed him in. Lucinda
sat in the grass on the bank. watching all the
hippopotamuses and feeling secure and con-
tented. She was not at all disturbed when they
all sank under the water and swan upstream.
In about an hour Hermione came back.
accompanied by the other hippopotamus. who
seemed to be her friend. When they climbed
out Of the water and opened their mouths in
front Of Lucinda. half bushel Of diamonds
dropped from each.
Lucinda was quite pleased. because there
had been only about quarter Of bushel Of
diamonds in the Shay estate which Uncle
Hugo had sent before he was killed. and now
there would be lots more. She scratched Her.
miones ears and the ears Of the other hippo
potamus until they both twitched with pleas
ure, and then they all went to sleep.
in the morning she got on Hermione's
back, and they swan up the river to swampy
place filed with the most delicious ooze. where
all the hippopotamuses lived together. And il
seemed that this was where the diamonds came
from, too, because Hermione's friend dived
down and when he came up and opened his
mouth. Lucinda reached in and took out
handfuIs Of big stones.
IL was pleasant in the oozy swamp, but
Lucinda had Hermione take her back to the
little town because now she could cable Miss
Theodore and the trustees about the diamonds,
and they would see that they had been wrong
all along about putting Hermione in a ZOO.
So Hermione swan down the river with
Lucinda on her back, and they went to the
cable Office together without attracting any
attention at all because there are so many
hippopotamuses in Africa. Lucinda sent her
cable. and two days later Miss Theodore with
her delicate poise and the three elderly trustees
with their canes were standing by the river
They were very much impressed with the
pile Of diamonds Hermione and the other hip
popotamus had brought Lucinda. One Of them
said this would now make the Shay estate
worth ten million dollars instead Of just three.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-10-20

Another said Of course Hermione must have
known about Uncle Hugo's diamond mine all
the time. but she had been so young she hadn't
realized that diamonds were important
And Miss Theodore with her delicate poiSe
said this must be the reason why Uncle Hugo
sent Hermione TO Lucinda in the first place and
that he would have written and explained
everything If he hadn't missed the short shot at
that exceptionally fine lion. The third trustee
scratched Hermione's ears until they twi,ched
with pleasure.
Uhe trustees got a man from the little
white town who promised to build house with
a strong fence around il where Hermione and
the other working hippopotamus could leave
the diamonds for Lucinda to pick up every
time she returned to Africa One Of the trustees
stayed behind with Hermione to see that the
house and fence were properly built. and the
rest Of them few home because Lucinda had
TO 60 TO school that winter near Philadelphia.
But when school was over in the spring, she
went to Africa, and Hermione was very glad to
see her. So was the trustee, who had grown
lonely just walking up and down the bank Of
the river swinging his cane. But he and the
other trustees agreed that il was now all right
for Lucinda to keep Hermione for always and
that. as soon as Hermione got the business at
the mine little better organized, she could
come back to America with Lucinda and per-
haps 60 to the school near Philadelphia.
So that is why you sometimes sec girl and
hippopotamus walking together. Hermione
is much more dignifed now that she is trustee
Of the Shay estate and is rather ashamed when
she is reminded that she once upset a large
birthday cake. After all. she is growing up and
she is the only hippopotamus who IS on the
Board Of Directors Of the First National Bank.
where they keep all the diamonds that belong
to Lucinda and the Shay estate.
tSermione is quite serious about her
duties. Floating half-submerged in the pool
which was built for her Office between two
vaults in the basement Of the bank. she often
comes to the surface and opens her mouth wide
at Lucinda. Lucinda has special desk at the
side Of the pool with an adding machine for
diamonds. Lucinda smiles back at Hermione,
and then they both look up at the motto which
hangs framed on the wall: &.

In fact, never worry. Something
wonderful Is always happening"

PRECAUTIONARY STEP

Cards have been sent by the
Town of Smyrna to about 1000
water customers asking them,
until further notice, to discon-
tinue the use of water from the
town mains for the watering of
lawns, shrubbery, and gardens be-
tween the hours of pm. and
midnight. According to Town
Manager Rex D. Gilmore this is
a precautionary measure so that
there will be supply of water
in case of fire within the town
limits. During these hours, the
watering of lawns pulls the tank
to two-tnirds empty, as shown by
the charts at the pump house.
The present we'll has a capacity
of 500 gallons per minute. Coun-
Gil will take bids at the regular
meeting of council on Friday,
August %, for the additional
town well. The cooperation of the
public in this matter is urged by
