In countries receiving our aid,
despots rule by terror, the Geo.
nomy is shattered, initiation is
rampant, and Communist-foment-
ed turbulence has put freedom on
the run In pouring billions Of
dollars into Poland and other coun-
tries and receiving in return only
condemnation. are we not giving
aid and comfort to the enemy? Is
there any justice in taxing the in
comes of Woodworking Americans
to feather the nests of people who
hate us? And what about our al
lies of Western Europe? Though
now prosperous. they shirll their
duty They look to us to continue
TO carry most Of the burden of
their economy and military Sc
curity.
The American people are in no
mood to continue to pour out their
| money to countries all over the
world through a foreign aid pro-
gram which, indisputably. is badly
executed, unrealistic, and enorm-
ously Wasteful. and has failed to
accomplish its intended obiectives.
I am fed up with having the tax
payers of Maryland sweat and toll
to help pay for Wasteful and un-
realistic foreign aid. l would favor
rapid retrenchment of the pro-
gram. If 20 per cent were cut
from this years foreign aid propos-
ais. it would not hurt anyone eX-
ccpt a few bureaucrats, domestic
and foreign Next year. the pro-
gram could be cut further, and so
on, and soon we could be rid of a
costly program which, despite its
earlier promise, has failed miser-
ably.
"Deliverance Day" For Corpora
tions-It was facetiously suggested
last week that July be proclaimed
"Deliverance Day" for corpora
tions, which pay 52e1 income tax,
for on that day 52ed Of the calendar
year had passed and the tax-paying
companies presumably could then
start making money for themselves
and their stockholders.
With Religion On The Run!-As
might have been expected i'm
mediately following the Supreme
Courts ruling against Bible read
ing in public schools, a suit was
filed to have the word God" re-
moved from the oath of allegiance.
I do not believe that such removal
| or the banning of Bible reading
in schools is what the people. want,
and, after all.s the people them
| selves are the court Of last re-
sort My Senate joint resolution,
proposing Constitutional Amend
ment, would give the people across
the nation the opportunity to make
their voices heard on this matter
for the proposed Constitutional
| Amendment would be submitted to
the so State legislatures.
| What's Being Done About Cas-
| tro?-According to the Senate Pre-
paredness Investigation Subcom-
mittee, there are now some $4,000
Soviet troops in Cuba u S. intel
ligence officials say that, in terms
Of absolutes, it is quite possible
that offensive missiles remain on
the island concealed in caves or
otherwise. To leave the Commu-
nists in a position to threaten us
lagain with missiles from Cuba is
intolerable. But the presence of
Soviet missiles and Soviet troops
isn't the whole story. For as long
as Castro rules Cuba. he will be
Senate cloakroom part two ......
maintaining 4 beachhead for Com
munism. Castro must be forced
out. How? Castro's fortress will
not collapse all by itself. Let me
quote President John F. Kennedy
on his idea Of forcing Castro out:
I'VE must attempt to strengthen
J the anti-Castro forces in exile, and
in Cuba itself, who offer eventual
hope Of overthrcwing Castro. Thus
far, those fighters for freedom have
had virtually no support from our
Government" The fact that Mr..
Kenndy said that before he be-
came President does not alter its
message. It was true when he said
it, and it's true today.
Suburbia Sprawl On Venus Or
Mars?-If you have been toying
with the idea that the population
explosion problem might be solved
by rocketing people to other
planets, you can forget it! Accord
ing to the Census Bureau, it would
require passenger ships seating 100
persons leaving every minute just
to stay even with the present popu-
lation growth.
