,lieans will join about Is Demo-
Gratis for the Byrd amendment.
But other reliable sources say
the administration may win
over 8 or 10 Republicans,
which would reduce the vote
for the Byrd amendment to
Al or 43.
If the Byrd amendment fails,
some Republicans will make a
try for an alternative under
which the President would get
the authority he requested to
borrow $S.S billion over the
five-year period, subject to the
right of either branch of Con-
gress to veto any foreign loan
exceeding $40 million.
Republican Senators Salton-
stall, Heating, Bush and Nor
ton, have introduced this veto
plan, which is similar to the
procedure by which Congess
passes on presidential orders
to REQ r rganize Government
agencies.
During yesterdays debate,
Senator Fulbright, Democrat of
Arkansas, leading the fight for
the Presidents foreign aid
program, agreed that this veto
proposal would be far less seri-
GUS than the Byrd amendment,
but said he would hesitate. to
give Congress power specifically
to veto individual projects.
Although Senator Fulbright
said he has not taken a def
mite position that this alterna-
tive is unacceptable, most OBJ
servers believe that if the
administration beats the Byrd
amendment it will be able to
resist any other major change
IN the borrowing authority.
Cite Interest Factor
Supporters of the Byrd
amendment prepared a table
yesterday which they said
shows that if the Treasury
borrows $8.8 billion for foreign
loans the interest on this Fed
eral debt would total $2s.7
billion if computed at three per
cent compounded annually for
so years. beginning with the
respective dates upon which
the money was borrowed over
the five-year period. They also
pointed out that the Govern
ment plans to loan this money
to underdeveloped countries
without interest in some cases,
or at nominal interest rates
for SO years.

The West is not going to sit
back and wait for the Russians
to make the first move on
the theory that the West is
satisfied with the situation and
that it is up to the Russians
to propose a change IN the
status quo.
Western officials agree, how
ever, that election weeks
in West Germany do not pro-
vide the appropriate atmos-
.phere for q public move, since
1t would quickly become a cam

: But a sounding-nut process
will be conducted behind the
scenes with Moscow to prepare
for a public move after Sep

Delegates were unable to
commit their countries to new

without first consulting their
governments. But most of
those addressed by Mr.. Rusk
expressed agreement with the
objectiveS and early replies
were expected.
The council also reaffirmed
the policy adopted by the NATO
foreign ministers at their May
meeting in Oslo. This called
for a peaceful and just" Solu-l
ton of the Berlin and German
problems on the basis of self
determination, a process that
was rejected again by Soviet
Premier KhruShchev in his
speech Monday night.
The Oslo declaration also
said any move, such as a sep
arate peace treaty with the
East German regime, could not
deprive the Western powers of
their rights in Berlin nor re-

The form for an East West

in the West prefer a Foreign

is possible.

Europe. This includes bringing
divisions in Europe to fun

addition of new divisions to

The new divisions would be
available for a flareup in Eu-
rope or elsewhere, but there is
now no intention to rush them

Fire Destroys Feed Mill
Loss Estimated AT $40, 900; Facility
Is Expected To Be Replaced By Coop

A fire of undetermined ORR
gin destroyed the feed mill, a
part of the operation of the
Holmes County Grain Elevator,
early Wednesday morning.
Inc loss, estimated as high
as $4,000, was believed to be
covered by insurance. An early
meeting Of the Board of Direct
ors will be held at which time
a decision to rebuild the facility
is expected to be reached.
The fire was discovered by
Laddie Williamson about $50
a m. as he went to work. He
notified the Lexington Fire De-
partment which answered the
call and fought the blaze for
more than two and one-half
hours.
City police and volunteer
workers, including employees
of the firm, helped fight the
~
blaze, a difficult task g to the
heavy smoke. The fe had to
be scattered before w r could
be placed effectively TO tight the
b.l Stock concentrates
corn and some finished feed
were in the building.
The feed mill. currently oper-
ating three days a week during
this off-season, was constructed
of concrete, steel and sheet iron
on a concrete slab. The fire
was so intense that the big
steel beams which held the roof
were warped. The building and
feed therein vas a total loss.
II is not known whether or not
the concrete foundation was in
jured.
The equipment in the feed
mill building including mixers.
the molasses blender and oat
crimper, was also destroyed and
must be replaced. The hammer
mill, located in an adjoining
building. was unchanged. The
Hammer min crushes feed. Nor
were the grain elevators dam
aged.
Officials estimated that it
would take approximately six
weeks to rebuild the feed mill,
which would just about ready
it for the new season which be-
gins on or around October LIST
The busy season of the feed
mill runs from October until
about the middle of March each
year. Afterward it goes on a
3-day per week schedule and
this year has been operationg
Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays.
The first season of operation
of the feed mill was during the

On communism"
Senator Fulbright said in his
opinion it is these extremists
who are advocating a soft
approach by oversimplification
and baseless generalization.
They reflect the "softness"
of those who cannot bear to
face the burdens of a continu-
Gus struggle against a powerful
and resourceful enemy.
"A truly tough approach, in
my judgment. is one which ac-
cepts the challenge of commun-
ism with the courage and de-
termination to meet it with ev-
cry fundamentally of foreign
policy-political and economic
as well as military, and with
the willingness to see the strug-
Gle through as far into the flu
ture as may be necessary.
"Those who seek to meet the
challenge = or, in reality, to
evade it = by bold adventures
abroad and witch hunts at home
are the real devotees of soft
ness'-the 'softness' of seeking
escape from painful realities by
resort to illusory panaceas.
The most astonishing of the
propositions of the radical right
is their contention that the in
ternal communist menace is the
primary problem of the cold
war. They thus credit a wretch
ed handful of communists in the
United States with greater pow
err and influence than the So
Wet Union and Communist
China with their vast military
and polictical power. I think
that this viewpoint is patiently
1bsurd."
Thinking Americans know
his viewpoint is absurd when
examined in the light of reason
md logic.
With Senator Fulbright we
know that internal danger does
exist and requires constant
vigilance. But We know also

panic-stricken mistrust of our
own free society we were to
