 Banker Hochberger saidshe was one offhese;persons who had long dreanted of coming to Alaska, and that in the earlysle4O's he almost made it to Anchorage but affairs prevented it. Following that he was given the opportunity of be ing put in charge of a bank that was in trouble and after 7 years had it back in good health. Then the opening came at. Kodiak and this time he made his Alaska dream come true.
 He said sometimes, especially in the loan department, there were moments of what he described as bitterness that made one wonder if banking was worthwhile, but that dealing with people of all walks of life, of being so many times able to help solve personal and business problems, and of be- ing thus able to furnish "a real service to the community, soon re- solved any doubts and outweighed any disadvantages. s.G..+c

Dinner With Writers Held Indication
OF Inodequocies in Press PurIeys

In discussion of the unprec-
edented private dinner with
the White House press "regu-
lars" at which President
Eisenhower aired his views
on many subjects, presiden-
tial aides make two points:
l. They frankly have been
dissatisfied with the very
large, wide-open press con-
ferences as a means of ex-
planning and defending the
administrations positions and
points of view.
2. 1t seemed only fair that
the hard core of newsmen
who follow the President
everywhere, including golf
clubs and Gettysburg, should
have some privilege to redress
their many long. boring and
newsleSS days.
Both points are valid. In
its unusual vigour and range,
the press conference which
followed shortly afterward
proved that the President and
reporters had both gained
from the crack in the picture

been kept uncurtained and

Perhaps here as in so many
areas the inherent inef-
ficiency of much of the DEM
ocratic process must be
endured. Not everybody is
always a statesman. In an
other aspect of the same
basic problem, Republican
Senate Leader Dirksen spoke
candidly this week to a Sen
ate subcommittee studying
ways to curb influence con-
facts with the Federal agen-
cies.
He said that when he
wanted something from the
Army he called up Secre-
tary Brucker who was pres

made his first political
speech in Michigan 30 years
ago. This, the Senator in
sisted, was the practical as

sometimes must be practical,

the proclamation now has

He has denounced 1t and
thereby opened up a debate
as to whether the satellite

The Soviet autocrat says
only the capitalist countries
are enslaved, but he ignores
the fact that free elections
are not held anywhere be-
hind the Iron Curtain and
that only governmental rul-
ers hand-picked by the
Kremlin are in Office. while
the dissenters are dead or in
Jail.
Small wonder the resolu-
ton. which passed by over

ties in the Senate and House

Khrushchev's skin. 1t was the
boldest. most fortnight state
ment issued in a long time
concerning the fate of the
captive nations. 1t is remi-

the crusade begun by the
late John Foster Dulles in
1852, when he called for the
peaceful liberation of the
satellite states in Eastern
Europe. 1t is in line with the

Such problems are adj

Secretary Hagerty. Every
proposal to alter the present
conglomerate approach to
the press conference has its
disadvantages, he readily

tried to think of improve

in excess OF the necessary two
thirds, but short Of the "a per
cent margin given the program
in a referendum a year ago.
The balloting showed a gen.
eral lack of interest among
growers. Less than, one-fourth
of the eligible growers voted.
The results were not unex-
pected. Despite sharp criticism
that has been directed at the
program by the Eisenhower
administration and many farm
leaders because of its cost and
its failure to prevent SURPRISES,
growers had little choice in the
balloting. They could take the
criticized program with its
relatively favorable price sup
port machinery or vote for vir-
tual withdrawal Of that ma
chinery.
Secretary Of Agriculture Ben
son told a news conference
yesterday that farmers could do
little but reapprove the pro-
gram. He blamed the Demo-
cratic-controlled Congress for
what he called its failure to
provide growers with a better
program.
A bill was passed but it en-
countered a veto by President
Eisenhower. The administra-
ton insists upon lower price
supports than provided by the
present program and a gradual
withdrawal of production con-
trolls. The vetoed measure went
in the opposite direction.
The program approved by
growers embraces acreage al
lotments at the legal minimum
of SIS million acres, marketing
quotas based upon the allot-
ment and price supports at the
legal minimum of IS per cent
of parity or not less than SLIT

Parity is a standard for

II a good many Americans
are at a loss to know exactly
what the Joint Congressional
Committee on Atomic Energy
meant to do with its hor-
rendous hearings recently on
the effects Of nuclear attack,
1t is hardly surprising.
Ever since the first atomic
bomb wiped out Hiroshima
on August 6, l945, and ush-
cred in the awesome nuclear
age. most of the worlds peo-
Piles have gained a reason
ably accurate knowledge OF
what this terrible new
weapon can do. At first. EN-
phasis was placed on the
blast itself, the destructive
force equal to many thou
sands of tons Of TINT. one
bomb sufficient to wipe out
the heart Of a city. Then
came the thermonuclear
bomb, the so-called H-bomb,
with apparently unlimited
destructive capabilities, and
again, at first. the stress IN
most reports was on the ex-
plosion. Only relatively slow
ly did the peoples Of the
world realize that a greater
capacity for humiliation
existed in nuclear weapons
that of radioactive fallout.
But however slow the full
picture was in emerging. it
did very definitely emerge in
startling clarity. For several
years now, most people have
been we'll aware of the
potentialities of the bomb in
all their frightful aspects.
Books have been written,
from fact to fiction. on the
existing menace to the con-
tinlation of people. Of civili-
zation. Movies and documen-
tary television have pounded
the message home. There
have been hearings ad infini-
tum in Congress. There have
been very well publicized
controversies between those
scientists and others who see
in radioactive fallout the end
of the races Of mankind on
the one hand, and those
others who, in effect, pooh
pooh the danger and tell the
world that there is more
danger in the radium dial of
a watch than in test fallout
to date.
Whatever the correct
evaluation may be, there is
no lack of knowledge on the
subject. Then why. for what
possible purpose. it is asked,
did Representative Chef Holt
fields select committee trot
out series of witnesses to
draw horrendous pictures Of
a destroyed America?
1t would seem, in some
aspects of this curious per-

willing to wage psychological
warfare, here and now,
against the American people.

nations should be steadfastly
kept alive: and
WHEREAS the desire for
liberty and independence by
the overwhelming majority Of
the people Of these submerged
nations constitutes a power
full deterrent to war and one
of the best hopes for a just
and lasting peace; and
WHEREAS 1t is fitting
that we clearly manifest to
such peoples through an APP
propriate and official means
the historic fact that the
people Of the United States
share with them their aspira-
tons for the recovery Of their
freedom and independence:
now. therefore be 1t
RESOLVED by the Sem
ate and House of Represent
atives of the United States
of America in Congress as
sembled, that the President
Of the United States is au-
thorized and requested to
issue a proclamation deS-
ignating the third week in
July, 1859, as Captive Ma
tions Week and inviting
the people of the United
States to observe such week
with appropriate ceremonies
and activities. The Presi-
dent is further authorized
and requested to issue a SIM
liar proclamation each year
until such time as freedom
and independence shall have
been achieved for all captive
nations of the world"
The President in his
proclamation repeated the
phrases of the resolution
and formally called on the
American people to observe
the week with appropriate
ceremonies and activities"
and he urged people every
where Ito study the plight
Of the Soviet dominated
nations and to recommit
themselves to the support of
the just aspirations of the
peoples Of those captive
nations"
Khrushchev insists now
that all this is q direct in
reference in the Soviet
Unions internal affairs"
and that it interferes with
the possibility of improving
relations between the United
States and the USSR."
But the truth is that, as
long as autocracy prevails
anywhere. the world cannot
be a safe place for free
peoples. For at any moment
such an autocracy can launch
a war of aggression. Only
when all peoples are their
own masters can there be
an assurance Of permanent
peace.

u. S. Aid, Core of Free World Program,
Seen in Danger of Wasting Away

$3.5 billions to carry foreign
aid forward another year. 1t
is not a good bill. This the
foreign policy leaders of both
partieS-and, indeed, the Eli
senhower State Department,
too-well know. 1t is, at best,
a tolerable bill-and at best
tolerable only for the short
run. And. inadequate as it
is. it yet must race another
obstacle course: The Con-
gresSional appropriations
committees in due time will
brine out an entirely separ-
ate measure to provide what
ever actual money is to be
provided.
The story of action thus
far on this matter-and "thiS
matter" is nothing less than
the muscle. rather than the
endleSSly talking voice of the
VESTS sad one. It is
sad to all who believe that
while balanced budgets are
fine, collective security is
even better. It Is sad to all
who are aware that not a
dozen SUBMITS, of whatever
lofty attitudes. can keep in
the field within the free
countries the military forces
OF freedom that must rest
upon economic and political
strength.

san friends in CongresS-and

enterprise. For this failure.

remote from the hard choices
being made daily by the ex-
ecutive branch.
The President said calmly
that the dinner was an ex-
pertinent and something of
the sort might be attempted
again. Should he continue
the practice, it will be in
creasingly difficult for him to
choose a guest list without

those excluded. His first list
had a reasonable professional
excuse; others would have no
such obvious basis. The howl
would be f1ercest, Of course,
should a proadministration
bias clearly appear among
the selectees. Actually it
would less effectively serve
the ends sought if the Pres
ident runs after trains he has

Peril to America Foreiqn Policy

self had first proposed two
years ago.
He did this at the insist
ence of his budget advisers,
to "hold the line" against
spending and imitation. Now,
ironically, the Presidents own
special foreign aid advisory
commission mas again SOL
EMMY recommended to him
just the kind of long grange
financing he has just refused
to support.
But there have been other
failures, too. The foreign
aid administration has re-
fused in the past to face up
to plain facts. These are
that the program has been
far from perfectly run, that
there is waste in it, and that
it will do nobody any good to
go on denying it all and re-
fusing to help clean up the
situation.
The Controller General of
the United States, Joseph
Campbell. is surely not anti
foreign aid, and he is surely
not anti Eisenhower, But
Mr.. Campbell has officially
stated that a pattern nf
loose, lax administration runs
through the entire complex"
OF the program.
The new head of foreign
aid, James Riddleberger, is
in no way to blame for the
past untidiness. But he will
need to act very fast and
candidly, and brutally if nee
eSSary, to end it.
The best friends foreign aid
ever had in Congress are
themselves not blameless.
The disillusion of men like
Senator j. w. Fulbright of
Arkansas has led them to
play a rather slack, diSpirited
game. They need to pull up
their socks, for though it is
late. the great contest is not
yet wholly lost.

Though it may sound like
a stuck needle on a very dull
photograph record it is nee
essary to report 1t again: The
CUTS of American foreign
policy, the one. true source
of American and Allied
strength in this world, is in
peril of wasting away.
This is what is commonly
called the foreign aid pro-
gram. More exactly it is the
mutual security program by
which alone the West thus
far has been kept in some
kind of collective economic
and military health.
Most Of the West, and in a
way the United States most
of all, seems determined to
cling frantically to the pleas
ant fiction that talking will
bring us safely through with
the Russians. Talking, that
is, as in missions to and
from Moscow. and talking in
endless foreign ministers
conferences
Talking in this way, and
indeed in every way, would
surely be a sound thing if it
were talking backed up by
rising Western power. But in
the present realities it is
largely conversational moon
shine. For palavering with a
ruthless antagonist has
rarely been wise or safe, I'M
less the peace-lover had an
oiled and loaded shotgun be-
hind his door.
Our shotgun, the Western
shotgun, is the foreign aid
program. 1t is not yet an
empty and rusted weapon.
But there is great danger
that this it soon may be-
come so.
