New Graham Crusade
Has Different Facade

LOS ANGELES, Aug. "a
(AP).-Fourteen years ago, a
virtually unknown Baptist
preacher In a flashy suit opened
a one-week revival in a tent
near downtown Los Angeles.
It stretched to eight weeks,
attracted $4,000 persons, and
launched evangelist Billy
Graham on a worldwide cru
Sade for Christ.
DR.. Graham, A, and more
conservatively dressed, is back
in Los Angeles on a month
long crusade which his aides
say may break his attendance
records.
The first seven services were
attended by 258,186 persons and
there still are IA more meet
ings in the crusade. If attend
ance continues at the present
rate, it could exceed the 700,-
900 record set at a three-week
crusade in Chicago last year.
The meetings are being con-

laSt-ditch motion to cut the
money authorizations in four
programs.
The House received no de-
tailed explanation Of the pro-
posed reductions.
The text of the motion stated
that 5000 million was to be
substituted for SIS billion fol
development loans in the pres.
ent fiscal year. This indicated
a $500 million cut which added
to the other cuts, would have
made a total reduction Of more
than 81 billion.
Explains Total Cut
Mr.. Adair explained later.
however, that this was "mis-
leading" He noted that the
House committee previously
proposed an authorization OF
about 81 billion instead Of SIS
billion for the development
loan fund. He said the cut in
this item actually would amount
to only $160 million and thus
make the overall total reduc-
ton about $685. million.
In any event, some House
Republicans as we'll as Demo-
Gratis regarded the money au-
thorization total as being
somewhat academic in this
bill. They said it was merely a
ceiling and they predicted that
the actual appropriation by
Congress later this year would
be quite different and probably
downward.

PRESIDENTS STATEMENTS
Aid Cut Unwise, Partisan

The teEt of a statement By
President Kennedy yesterday
on the House cut in foreign
aid funds:
The action Of the House to-
day in drastically cutting the
mutual security authorization
bill is unprecedented, unwar-
ranted, and unwise.
This cut will critically affect
our strength at a time when
the forces of freedom are NOV
ing around the world.
The most disturbing aspect
Of today's House action is that
for the first time since the end
of World War II, this program
experienced a shocking and
thoughtless partisan attack by
the Republican leadership on a
program which both partie S
have consistently supported as
being vital to our national Sc
curity. {,
I recall during eight years
in the Senate from 1853 to 1860
consistently supporting the re-
quests which Gen. Eisenhower
m ade as President of the
United States.
This program has been OPP
posed by some members Of both
parties in the past, but today
was the first time that the
leadership of one party led the
attack on 1t.

he flew from steamy Wash
ington to Cape Cod for his
eighth straight week end at his
Hyannis Port summer home.
The President was stern and
umstniling as he took the
House to task yesterday for

foreign aid bill.

was carefully trimmed before
it went to The Hill and was
examined by Gen. Clay and
others. It was one of the low
est ever presented to the Con-
gresS. Despite all Of this, the
House of Representatives has
made the sharpest cut 1t has
ever made in a foreign authori-
zation bill.
This action cannot be ex-
planned by any change in the
world situation or by the re-
quirements Of our national Sc
curity or as an economy
measure. 1t is simply a short
sighted, irresponsible and
dangerously partisan action. If
today's vote stands, no develop
ment loans could be made in
Iran, Greece, Thailand, or 9TH
er countries on the rim of the
Communist empire except to
fulfill existing commitments.
Under the terms Of this bill,
hopeful social and economic
progress in Latin America will
be stalled and our shield
against Communist aggression
in this hemisphere will be
weakened. 1t will mean that the
Soviet Union will be giving al
most as much assistance to
the small island of Cuba as the
United States is to the whole
of Latin America. This is no
way to defeat communism in
this hemisphere.

Democrat Votes Help
COP. to Slash Funds

On the Republican move fol
the cuts, Sc Democrats Joined
156 Republicans for reductions
Only 16 Republicans went with
172 Democrats against them
On the final roll call, So Re-
Ipublicans and 172 Democrats
voted for the bill while 100
Republicans and 66 Democrats
opposed passage.
Most Of the 66 Democrats
were from the South, but they
included several prominent
Democrats who ordinarily vote
with the administration.
Among them were Ways and
Means Committee Chairman
Mills of Arkansas, Appropria-
tions Committee Charm a n
Cannon of Missouri and Rep
resentative Jennings of Vir-
ginia, a Ways and Means Com
mittee member.
Representative Matthias of
Maryland was one of the IL
Republicans voting against the
cuts. Most of the Is others
were G. o. P. members Of the
Foreign Affairs Committee.
Closer Than '62 Vote
As evidence that the House
vote reflected growing national
criticism of the trend Of fore
ign aid, the 38-vote margin of
passage of the bill was much
closer than the 25o-164 House
vote which passed the foreign
aid authorization bill last year.
The principal confusion in
yesterdays proceedings came
after Representative Adair, Re-
publican Of Indiana, made a

tary aid will jeopardize the eff
fectiveness of allied forces on
the border of the no-Soviet
bloc which now receives over
10 per cent of our military as
sistance. Obviously, the foreign
aid authorization voted by the
House today is unsatisfactory.
1t represents not only a partl-
san attack on the foreign pol
icy Of this Government but a
reputation Of the foreign poll
icy which this country has pur-
sued since the end Of the Sec
ond World War.
In, the key vote on foreign
assistance today, only 8 per
cent Of the Republican mem
bers Of the House supported
this program which has hith-
erto commanded bipartisan
support, and I reiterate time
and again this program had
bipartisan support in the years
Of the SOS. The danger is just
as great today. I see no reason
why the program and its BIZ
partisan support should be de-
Stroyed.
! urge, therefore, that mem
bers Of both parties in the
Senate restore the full amount
Of this request and that the
conference will give the House
Of Representatives an oppor-
tunity to reconsider its lll-ad-
vised actions Of today.

Mr.. Kennedy recalled that
Democrats strongly supported
foreign aid under President
Eisenhower. He charged that
for the first time the House
Republican leadership led q
massive attack on the program
at a time when cold war dan
gers are even greater than in
some past years.
The President said only 9
per cent of the House Republi-
cans voted against the cuts.
But he made no specific ref
erence to the Democrats who
supported the successful move
to trim $160 million from the
Development Loan Program,
$3.50 million from the Alliance
for Progress, $225 million from
military assistance and $50
million from the contingency
fund.
RuSk Sees Danger
Secretary of State Rusk said
In a statement that the House
action "slices into the very
muscle of our foreign policy" /"
adding:
THE cut would impair our
national security, weaken the
Alliance for Progress, and re-
strict our ability to respond to
new demands in crises in the
world struggle for freedom.

favor Of our world of freedom,
the Americans should not re-
treat. We must not quit"

Letter to Editor

Dear Editor:
Please direct this
To whom this may concern:
When we think about sin
and crime that is sweeping
our nation today, we would
like to think Of it as being
in some foreign country or
some far away city and not
in the community in which
we live. When | visited the
Hillcrest Cemetery at
Goodman Saturday, July
20, and saw that someone
had stripped the flowers
from my mothers grave, |
could hardly believe that
we had anyone in our COM
munity who would be guilty
OF this kind of sin.
| know that when you took
the flowers she was not
looking, for she was Sleep
ing. l know, though, that
GOO was looking; and |
know you will be severely
punished for the sin you
have committed.
1t isn't that we have any
ill-will or any hard feeling
toward you. 1t is that we
know you need help. You
need spiritual guidance, and
| ask you to go to the pas
tor of your church and con-
Tess your sin to him and
ask him to pray for you.
If you will come to me, 1
will go with you to my pas
tor an ask him to pray for
you and advise you. l know
the advice he will give you
will not mislead you.
My prayer is that God
may have mercy on you
and l hope that when
you stand in the great white
lights of eternity; you will
not have this sin to answer
for.

the bOOkmobile so it fills
a much-needed gap in many
lives, both Of the young and

not the easiest of occupations

sed 4 or 5 hundred books in
a day to people who might not
have been able to acquire
them otherwise, the day be-
comes a "good day" whether

WHO?

The real choice in the N. L. r. b.
election is between those strangers and
the folks in this county whom you have
known for most Of your life. Your
friends in this area risked their re-
putations and their credit to make the
Durant Sportswear plant possible. Your
friends stood up for you when you
needed a job. Your friends have been
here when you turned to them in need
of help. Your friends have worked side
by side with yin in your plant and in
your community to build good, secure
Jobs. AND the people who have been
your friends and still are your friends
will be here long after the union stran-
gers have packed their suitcases and
moved out Of town.
1t is certainly something to think a
bout carefully.
You and your friends have worked
together to steadily improve the stand
ard Of living Of every family in this
area. You have done a good job. The
folks in Mississippi and Holmes Coun-
ty are fully able to take care Of them
selves. We can solve our problems in
friendship and harmony.
We do not need any interference by
union strangers in our affairs. We
don't need any advice or orders from
the union bosses in New York or any,
where else.
Let's send the union strangers back
here they came from and settle down
to solving our problems in vi own
way. Mississippians can stand on their
own feet we always have.

Thoughts
about
Things

This is d plea to small boys
with BIB guns, slingshots, and
the like, who shoot birds with.
out thinking twice. To kill a
destructive bird is fine, but
don't KILL birds which are
purely ornamental, helpful,
and sing beautifully. For inst.
ance, why kill a redbird? The.
|y're SO beautiful, and, I've
found by watching them
so intelligent.
But let's discard the red
bird now, and think about
our own State bird, the Mock
ingbird.
The Mockingbird can easily
initiate the songs of other
birds besides having an un-
usually beautiful sweet song
of its own.
These birds have long slen-
der bodies Gil inches long,
and are mostly ash-grey in CO.
lor, with darker wings and!
tail and lighter underparts.
The female is slightly darker
Holmes County herald., 1963-08-08

We all know about the wise old bird
which says, 'Who?" That's a pretty
wise question to be asking ourselves,
too. When the employees at Durant
SportsWear vote in the election on
August l3, tn decision On the union IS
sue will be strictly up to them, But
here are some thing worth thinking
about.
Who are the people who are now
after the employees Of the Sportswear
plant? They are strangers none OF us
ever saw or heard Of until recently.
We know nothing about them except
what they have said themselves.
How many of our friends at Durant
SportsWear know the president Of this
union? How many know the Treasurer
who would control a lot of their mon
ey2 Very few have ever heard their
names. If you have hard them,, we ex-
pect you would have trouble even pro-
nouncing them. What do we kno wof
their character? What do we know Of
their beliefs? The answer is one word =
= nothing.
The truth is that the union repre-
sentatives arid the union officers are
complete strangers. They are strangers
who have never before shown one
spark Of interest in the problems Of the
people Of Holmes County. They are
strangers who never put up a penny
to help get jobs for our people. They
are strangers who e gave an n
Of effort or a minute of time to help
you or to help our community. They
are strangers with a fast word and
they're looking for a fast buck.
Holmes County herald., 1963-08-08
But with pride

are proud of the fact that SO many Of
our younger citizens, who will be vot-
er age in 1867, found time among all
their rigorous Past-times, to work for
the Sullivan cause and to sincerely
proclaim their support for the things
Charles Sullivan stood for. We hope
that, whichever political faction gains
control Of Mississippi, they will carry
out their duties in the manner which
Charles Sullivan promised, with hon.
esty, integrity and courage.
