Foreign Aid:
Surprise Cut

The House Topped $585 mil
lion off the foreign aid author
izatiOn Friday, bringing II 81
billion below the administra-
tons original $4.5 billion re-
quest. President Kennedy
warned the move imperiled the
fight against communism and
asked that funds be restored.
"A shocking and thoughtless
partisan attack by the Republi-
can leadership" the President
snapped, his face grim with
anger.
What had happened was a ma
jor defeat of the foreign aid
program, particularly in South
American affairs. Aided by a
coalition with Southern conserva-
tive Democrats. House Republi-
cans ganged up on an already
well-pruned bill.
With $438 million trimmed
from aid legislation by the House
Foreign Affairs Committee, the
bill reached the floor last week to

hold the line. Prompted by White
House telephone appeals, former

a pitch from Gettysburg.

Across the land there is now
under way an awesome mastering
of men, industrial might and
skillS.
This gathering of resources Is
already one Of the quiet economic
revolutions of our time, especially
In the Southeast.
The United States is tooling up
to send men on expeditions of ex-
ploration to the moon and beyond.
The goal has been defined by
President Kennedy landing on
the moon by the end Of this
decade.
Now beginning is the massive
task Of translating dreams into
concrete, converting promises into
space ships, boosters and tracking
stations.
1t is a $40 to $40 billion job,
perhaps much more.
But it is something else.
1t is the founding Of a new and
basic industry, sired by the missile
age, for the 21st century, a Gov
ernment-financed industry built
on applied physics, mathematics,
chemistry, medicine, astronomy
and electronics.
For many it is the knock Of OPP
portunity. For example:
In 1857 one of the Nations old
line air carriers, United Aircraft
Corp, set up a one-man space
firm called the United Technol-
ogy Center at Sunnyvale, Calf, to
work on missile fuels.
Now, six years later, United
Technology has 2,400 employees.

sweeping through New Orleans

The star decorating this cres-
cent is the George c. Marshall

where the huge boosters that are
needed to drive space ships to
the moon are designed and the
course to the moon is charted.
