government, has been amply
demonstrated again this year in
the fight over federal aid to edu-
cation. Even the most famous Of
all Catholics in this country,
President John Kennedy, has
been unable to stem the tide of
opposition from Catholic church
men - to the federal aid to edu-
cation bill.
The Catholics have been de-
manding aid to their own schools,
which Kennedy believes is uncon-
stitutional. The President found a
way to meet these demands in
partly letting the government
give money to all schools, on the
theory that this was for national
defense. THE money would be
used to build science classrooms,
etc.,
While there are those who be-
.lieve that this. too. is unconsti-
tutional, this approach is based
on the principle of the CT bill
which granted money to veteran
students and let them choose
their college or university. So it
might get by.

General Lee and myself, he drew
out a map in his usual clarity
of description and traced the
route that Mr.. Wexford recon-
mended: from Catherine Fur

YOU come to the Brock Road
which runs north. Don't turn
north into the Brock Road where
you first strike it, because, if you
do, you may be within sight OF
the enemy. Instead Of taking
that risk, you must move south
Tor about 600 yards. and then you
make sharp right turn and GO

Social Security Brings $S43,276

The number Of beneficiaries
is considerably greater than it

1t was a greater Increase than
was recorded generally in the

News Report
From
Washington

WASHINGTON. D. c., July 8
The Kennedy Administration is
now moving into and through
heavy fire from all sides. on the
foreign policy issue. The loss of
half of Laos, the Cuban fiasco
and the apparent indecisiveness
on Berlin has begun to take its
toll.
From abroad criticism has
come from Great Britain, the
most valuable Of our allies
along with West Germany. In
West Germany criticism is also
heard, though officially Bonn re-
mains quiet, as it must.
Administration Under Fire
In Congress both Democrats
and Republicans were disappoint-
ed at the weak reaction of Presi-
dent Kennedy and his admins
tration leaders to recent threats
from Russian Premier Nikita
Khrushchev. It was some three
weeks after Khrushchev's pro-
posals were handed Kennedy, in
Vienna, that Secretary of State
Dean Rusk finally got around to
stating fatty that Soviet action
could not void our rights in Ber-
lin.
And even at that time the
President had not spoken out
forcefully on the critical Berlin
question. His Senate Majority
Leader, Mike Mansfield, instead
had proposed a compromise So
luton to the Berlin problem.
which would take the troops out
of both the eastern and western
sectors of the huge city.
At Home and Abroad
But Khrushchev did not buy
this compromise, rejecting it in
a speech a week after Mansfield
put out the feeler. The Germans
were relieved that Mansfield's
offer was rejected - since it was
a naive proposal from the begin
ming.
After all the troops were out
Of Berlin, who could guarantee
the people Of what is now West
Berlin, that the East German
communists would not intimidate
them or deprive them of their
freedom? The city would be a
hundred miles inside communist
lines. with no allied soldiers on
hand to resist illegal coercion or
pressure.
Administration critics say it is
the rankest form Of naive pink
cloudism to think that such a
compromise would meet the
United States obligation to the
free people of West Berlin. These
people would lose their freedom
almost certainly. they say.
