nomic assistance to friendly
but not heavily armed, nations.
De ocratic C congressional
strategiSts made no secret of
their disappointment that leg
lslation at the special session
has been comparatively meager
and mild from their viewpoint.
There had been indications
that they might keep the ses-
sion going at least until Labor
Day to force showdown votes
in the House on the school aid
and housing issues.
House rules allow moves on
the first Monday of the month
to pass measures under sus-
pension of the rules. This pro-
cedure requires a two-thirds
majority vote for passage. AL
though such majorities prob
ably could not be obtained on
the school aid and housing bills,
Democratic leaders repeatedly
had considered the possibility
OF putting Republicans on the
Aecord and possibly on the spot
by forcing roll call votes.
Democrats Restive
Such a plan, however, ap-
parently has been abandoned.
The pressure for an early ad-
Journment has come principally
from the Senate which ordi-
narily wants to linger longer
than the House at Legislative
sessions. Senators Kennedy
and Johnson repeatedly are
reStive to hit the election
campaign trail.
Other Democratic leaders in
dicate they believe it advisable
to end the session early next
week on the theory that half
"a loaf is better than none. But
many of their Democratic
colleagues contend that the
legislation obtained at the
special session has amounted
to too few pieces.

The Board of Education
would win a substantial option
in deciding which pupils should
pay tuition, under the Senate
version. Originally the bill was
sponsored by Representative
Broyhill, Republican of Vir-
ginia. AS cleared by the House,
the Broyhill proposal would de-
mand tuition for all children
whose parents or guardians are
non-residents of the District.
Commissioners have inter-
preted current law to mean
that tuition need not be col
lected for children whose par
ents are nop-residents but
whose District guardians have
taken youngsters in to estab-
liSh a home" for them.
Sees "Step Forward"
Mr.. Broyhill said today the
Senate bill would not solve the
tuition problem but would be
a step forward.
Due to the lateness in this
session, I feel House accept
ance would be a better course
than to risk a deadlock in con-
ference or committee" he said.
Also cleared by the Senate
was a bill to empower the Dis
trict Civil War Centennial
Commission to develop plans
and ask for congressional ap-
propriations of funds for the
Washington observance t the
Tooth anniversary of the Civil
War.

patrol boats exchanged gunfire
with a ship believed out OF
Communist North Korea last

what an experience it has been,
Never before have we ex-
perienced such arrogant treat
ment at the hands of its enemy
Never before have we expert
enced a more critical decline in
our prestige, driving Dur friends
toward neutralism, and neu-
trails to outright hostility. Never
before has the grip Of commu-
nism sunk so deeply into prev
iously friendly countries"
Senator Kennedy said Pres
ident Eisenhower had indicated
in his August 10 news confer
ence that the Vice President
had not urged and accelerated
defense effort during the meet
ings of the Security Council.
Why would one boast OF
presiding over the National Sc
curity Council during the years
that it rejected the now ac-
cepted findings of the Killian
report, the Gather report and
the Rockefeller brothers re-
port reports urging a greater
defense effort), during the
years it held back our pro-
gresS in missiles and space?'
Senator Kennedy asked. Dur
ing the years it failed to come
up with one great single idea
of international Importance"
Departs From Text
At this point the Democratic
nominee departed from the
text of some excerpts of his
remarks that were released in
advance and left out a section
which went on to say:
For Atoms for Peace was a
slogan, the Eisenhower Mid
die East Doctrine was a farce
the open skies plan was q
gesture and the Baghdad Pact
was a failure. Mr.. Nixon has
presided, in short. over a de-
cline Of our national security"
Notes Travels
Taking note Of the Vice
Presidents foreign travels, the
Democratic nominee continued
IN the Wet Nam he urged
the French to continue fight
ing. On Formosa he implied
our support of an invasion OF
the mainland of China. In In
dia he questioned Nehru's right
to be neutral. In Venezuela his
goodwill tour provoked a riot
And in the Soviet Union he ar
gued with Mr.. Khrushchev in
the kitchen pointing out that
while we may be behind in
space. we are ahead in color
televiSion.
But does anyone think for a
single moment. do they take the
Communists so lightly that they
think Mr.. Khrushchev was di-
verted for a single moment
from his objectives by an argu-
ment in the kitchen? Do they
think he changed his plans
pulled back his forces since
that argument? He could argue
in the kitchen every day and
move every night"

million to the $3.50 million
which the Federal Government
would provide to help States
establish programs for medical
care for needy elderly persons.
Provisions for the 62-year-
old retirement age and the ST.
800 earnings limit were voted
by the Senate last week. The
inclusion of self-employed 0hy-
sicians was in the original
House bill.
The Social Security Act now
permits women employees TO :e-
tire at 81 if they wish, and still
receive part of their benefit.
The provision eliminated by
the conference today would
have given the same choice 10
men.
The Senate made substantial
progress yesterday by passing
the $3,989,054,000 foreign aid
bill. AS passed last month by
the House, the total was So
589,75O,0O0.
The Senate restored al eX-
cept 5000 million of the re-
quested funds cut by the House.
The 5000 million reduction was
in military assistance items.
The Senate added another $100
million for possible use in con-
nection with the crisis in the
Congo and for Africa in gen.
eral. The appropriation last
year was about $3.6 billion.
President Eisenhower this year
asked for 4,181,7O4,000.
A major new provision would
ban aid to nations which help
Cuba or the Dominican Repub-
lie.
Leaders Back Boost
The Senate vote was 67-26.
Senator Kennedy and Demo-
cratic Leader Johnson, the
Democratic standard bear
ers, voted with 80 other Demo-
Gratis for the increased total.
But 10 Democrats and seven
Republicans opposed it.
The $1.8 billion provided by
the Senate for military assist
ance is $500 million above what
Congress voted last year. In
addition, the bill includes $675
million in defense support
funds. This is SIS million
above the House figure.
The defense support funds
are limited to IL countries
which maintain larger armed
forces than their economies can
sustain without outside help.
They are Korea, Formosa, Wet
Nam, Turkey, Pakistan, CAM
oodia, Grece, Iran, Laos. the
Philippines, Spain and Thai

"The Communists are de-
termined to destroy u.s." he
added. "and regardless of what
hand of friendship we may hold
out or what argument we may
put up, the only thing that
will make that decisive differ
ence is the strength of the
United States"
Citing Communist gains in
Cuba, the Congo and Laos,
Senator Kennedy said:
1--WE standing here tonight
cannot, with certainty, make a
judgment of our times or the
last five years or the last
decade. But I think there is a
great danger that history will
make a judgment that these
were the days when the tide be-
gan to run out for the United
States. These were the times
when the Communist tide be-
gan to pour in; these were the
times when people began not
to worry abodt what they
thought in Washington, but
only to wonder what they
thought in Moscow and Pc
king"
Senator Kennedy said he was
running for President not be-
cause he thought it is IAN easy
job in soft times" Saying this
is a time of danger" he added:
Il don't think anyone should
vote for the Democrats if they
are satisfied with what is hap
pening, if they feel our status
is fine, if they are not con-
cerned' by the fact that last
year we had the lowest eco
nomic growth of any major
industrialized society in the
world.
Another 1888 Challenge
If you are satisfied then I
think this country should make
Mr.. Nixon the President. But
if you feel that we have un-
finished business, that our gen.
Grafton faces the same kind of
challenge that Franklin Roose-
welt faced in 1888, then say
to you that this country will
move and the Democratic Party
will lead it,"
The Democratic nominee
called for an end to divided
government, with the legisla-
tive branch controlled by one
party and the executive by the
other.
They have had session of
the Congress for the last three
weeks. 1t has not been a happy
experience. If the people
will study it they will see il
the Republicans are successful
a microcosm of what will,
happen in the next four years,
Of a Congress in the hands of
one party and an administra-
ton in the hands of another
party, with threats of vetoes,
with party war in the most
dangerous time in the life of
our country.
Il think it is time to move.
I think this country wants to
go ahead. and the way to do it
is to give us the responsibility
or give the Republicans the
responsibility. But don't divide
it and end up with no one
responsible"

which his oldest friends had
gambled IS million dollars. It
was big enough to make every

Thereafter, Oscar would be
in a position to say the only

him is the one he is painting.

detach himself from other types

Oscar is impressed and would
like you to be the same. This.
you see, is a record amount of
money.
Specifically, he informs this
corner, it is the million dollars

the largest amount ever crossed
in a similar interval by a mo-

1t is the more remarkable in
that Ben Hur" is playing in a
mere 80 theaters as against the
hundreds that other films have
played simultaneously. Never
