Gen. Swing told the Sena-

was simply giving them the

In Miami the Elk brothers
quickly denied any connection
with Mr.. Shergalis, whose home

described as absolutely false
any implication by Gen. Swing
that either Of them MADE a trip

They said there is no Robert

underground launchers in each
squadron from the presently
planned nine to II and add
three missiles to each squadron.
The Air Force is hopeful of
winning approval for the mis-
sile increase. but it has run into
considerable opposition from
the staff of the Secretary of
Defense on its proposals for
improving interceptor plans.
Sage is the ultimate in push
button warfare. Under the
original concept the Semi
Automatic Ground ENVIRON
ment would detect incoming
enemy bomberS, track them,
guide planes and missiles to the
scene, and direct the enemy's
destruction-all vitually auto
matically.
To Come Above Ground
With the new reduction some
of the automatic features will
be abandoned and ground level
centers will be substituted for
the eight planned underground
combat centers.
The Bomarc program, which
was cut in half a year ago,
roughly will be cut in half
again. Originally 80 squadrons
were planned.
A final decision within the
Defense Department on the
whole Air Force package Is .ex-
pected within a few days. Sec
retary of Defense Gates, Who
is out of the country, reviewed
the proposal before he left and
gave his subordinates general
guidance. So the final decision
need not await his return next
month.
Some original Air Force
spending proposals already
have been rejected during con-
ferences between Air Force and
Department of Defense repre-
sentatives. The Air Force
wanted to spend more on The
proposed BIO all purpose air
plane and on new cargo planes.

First Money Bill

this session. And debate start
ed Unexpectedly after the civil
rights bill was steered to COM
mittee, and ended before such
budget champions as Demo-
cratic Senator Bible Of Nevada
and Morse could reach the
floor.
Senator Morse made his
speech after the vote, however
commencing Senator Pastort
for his conscientious. not tC
say arduous," service for the
District.
In particular, Senator Morse
expressed pleasure in regard tc
flve features Of the budget
They were:
That the school lunch pro-
gram, identical with that OF
the House. need not go to con-
ference and thus practically
assures all needy children of q
noon meal in school.
That the w street elementary
school was funded. Senator
Morse noted that SO of the
Districts 183 school buildings
are so or more years old.
That the monthly board
rates for dependent children
we're increased from $50 to $50
for private institutions, and
from $50 to $50 for private
foster homes. He said these in
creases might relieve over
crowding at Junior Village.
That the pupil-teacher ratio
in grades to 6 will reach 31-1.
That the budget assumes
sufficient savings to hire tenn
porary teachers.
Senator Morse complimented
Senator Pastore for demanding
in hearing that the Dunbar
High School swimming pool be
repaired. The Commissioners
indicated they would take re-
medal action. he said.
No Mention Of Tax Rise
There was no mention on the
Senate floor Of the $l2.7 mil
lion in additional District taxes
that the Appropriations Com
mittee assumed would be lev
led. 1t was on this assumption
that the committee raised the
SIS million Federal payment
preferred by the House to $26
million. The reasoning was
that the Federal Government
should pay more If District tax
payers did.
Tax proposals have yet to be
introduced. Commissioners SUBJ
mitted them in February.
In the revenue column, the
Senate-passed budget carried
an increased Federal loan to

from $l4.5 million to $15.s

Two Miami brothers men,
toned in congressional testi-
mony have denied angrily any
link with one of the Americans
whose private plane was forced
down Monday by gunfire in
Cuba.
John Elk, A, and Robert p.
Elk, SO, said they know William
j. Shergalis, one of the cap
tured flyers. but have no busi-
ness or other connections with
him.
The denial came after Immi-
grafton Commissioner j. M
Swing told the Senate Appro-
priations Committee that his
department was investigating
a possible connection between
Mr.. Shergalis and the Fidel
Castro regime through the Elk
brothers.
Gen. Swing testified late yes
terday before the Senate voted
$500.000 for a stepped-up cam
paign to halt sneak flights to
Cuba. Another 100000 was
voted to finance Spanish IAN
guage radio broadcasts to Cuba
to present "the truth of the
American position" to the Gu
ban people. Both sums need
House approval.
Registered Castro Agent

had learned that Mr.. Shergalis

the brother Of John Elk. whom

GRAIN INSPECTION DIPS

The Agriculture Department
has reported that nearly one
eighth less grain was Federally
inspected during the 1959-6O
marketing year than in the pre-
ceding year.
Inspections totaled about $780,
100000 bushels compared with
1000, 900, 900 in the previous year.
A major factor in the decline was
a smaller 1859 crop of all grains
combined. Inspections were down
for each of the grains with the
exception of soybeans and rye.
The department also reported
that the wheat market continues
to hold firm despite the existence
of a record large surplus. This
was attributed mostly to a con-
tinued tight producers, light mar
ket offerings, and good domestic
and export demand.

SUBSCRIPTION T
is WORRY A CAUSE OF DEATH ?

Many Americans die every year from heart diseases or
cerebral hemorrhages, both of which are included in the So
called diseases of civilization.
The belief exists that nervous tension and the fast tempo
of modern life are responsible for the high blood pressure that
often forecasts the end Of individual existence.
Many believe complete relaxation OF the body IN rest Will
tend to prevent the development of high blood pressure. This
includes complete mental relaxation, which is difficult for
MANY individuals. The brain, which has been bus" for hours,
finds many things "to think about" and this mental activity
often prevents sound sleep.
About the best answer to the problem, as we see it, is the
development of an Individual philosophy of life, including a
religious faith, which will bring the individual into harmony
with his environment and the higher principles which should
govern all human life.
If a person has no faith then he has no need for life for it
is no more than an individuals faith that makes life worth
living.

THOUGH I receive an occa-
sional letter from a mother re-
porting that the father pampers
the children or even interferes
with her when she disciplines
them, very often the father is
described as too strict or severe.
There are some reasons. Far
more mothers than fathers read
books and articles and listen to
talks by child experts about
child rearing; mothers hear far
more of such talks at their
PIT. A. and club meetings.
Persuasion Emphasized
These experts have tended to
emphasize persuasive ways of
rearing children and have gem
orally warned against too great
strictness in home discipline.
Being with the child from his
early infancy so much more
than the father is, the mother
is convinced that her generally
milder and more persuasive
ways of discipline are better.
Reprimands Father
Inclined to accept what she
reads and hears as the gospel
in child rearing, she often tells
the more strict father, "You
should have heard that" or
"You should read this"
Had he heard or read what
she had, he might have been
more receptive to the milder
ideas and ways. But very often
he feels that such remarks by
his wife suggest her superiority,
in which case he may grow
more severe with the children,
Then, more often than the
mother, the average father sees

Into none of these eight wars
we have fought have we gone
with our nation and its fighting
men adequately prepared.
Might not some of these wars
have been avoided if it had been
known that Americas desire for
peace was matched by its strength
and readiness to fight.
1t is not right to ask whether
we must again pay the price of
war because we are unwilling to
pay the price of peace, 'fhappy is
that city which thinks of war in
time of peace"
Or if, in spirit of all our forces,
war comes again, must men die
unprepared who, prepared, might
have lived.
Must we not ask these questions
of ourselves and dare we say
we cannot find an answer.
We Americans have never lack

Will we lack the courage and
the foresight to protect our right

We all know what it takes to

SPIRITUAL - Because one of the

and because national material
strength is useless without the

ECONOMICS - Because we must

in his daily work the need Of
discipline and obedience. More
often than the mother, as a.
rule, he's out of sympathy with
what seems to him excessive
"reminiscences in child rearing,
especially in the early years.
Conflict Of Ideas
AS a result, there is often a
conflict between his. ideas of
good discipline and hers. If he
feels much Illustration he may,
at times, be exceedingly severe
with the children.
At such times the mother
may subtly or openly come to
the child's defense, criticizing
the fathers severity in the
child's presence; or, if she can,
forbid him to go through with
certain forms of discipline. Then
he usually grows more harsh
in the long run and she more
lenient.
Opposite May Help
If, on the other hand, she
were to stiffen up a bit, he
would grow more mild.
They might iron out their
differences better if they often
talked over the whole matter
