NOW ) LI THINKWE CAN < OUTSCORE THESE } WAYSEEDS By Capitol Hill Debate Looms By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK (#—Both on Capitol Hill in Washington and at the Eisenhower headquarters here they are reported debating today: How many more billions of Ameri- can dollars do our allies actually need as economic and military aid? President Truman has asked that Congress approve another 7% billion dollars for spending in the future. Actual spending in the cur- rent fiscal year will be around 5% billion dollars. But some Republican lawmakers say that about 5% billion that congress already has appropriated for foreign aid remains unspent and available now. And they ask why 7% billion more must be ad- ded. Fiseat authorities, meanwhile, say that in recent months the “dollar gap” has been shrinking— that other nations’ reserves of gold and dollars have been growing, so that economic aid is not the acute need it was in the earlier postwar years. The Department of Commerce reports that other nations gained more than one billion dollars in gold and dollar assets in trans- actions with the U. S. in the six months ended last September—a period in which some 2% billion dollars of economic and military aid was given by the U. S. And the first estimates of 1952's foreign trade available today from London shows that Britain’s ex- ports to the U. S. passed the 400 million dollar mark for the first time last year, increased by 19 million dollars over the year be- fore. Still another factor making the economic health of the rest of the world look better is the continuing high prosperity within the U. S. When business conditions flourish here, our imports both of raw materials and of finished products always rise. + Optimistic predictions of increas- ing industrial production in the first half of 1953 promise more fertile markets for other nations here. The “dollar gap”, though shrink- ing, still exists, however. U. S. exports still top U. S. imports— the difference usually being settled pe one form or another of foreign aid’ Against” all the indications that the need for foreign aid may be lessening, however, Averell Har- riman, who is retiring as mutual security director, makes a plea for the full 7% billions of future aid on these grounds: Some 70 per cent of it would go for military purposes. This factor, and President-elect Eisenhower's interest in the defense of Europe, may weigh heavily with the in- coming administration. In the current fiscal year the U. S. is spending more than one billion dollars in buying military equipment and services from our allies—which also could be con- sidered as economic aid to their industries. Continuance of this off- shore procurement is sought in the new appropriations asked. Harriman says that despite the billions appropriated but unspent, the additional billions should be promised so that contracts can be let without delay for delivery at later dates because tanks and air- planes aren’t produced over-night. About two billion dollars of the amount asked would go for econo- ic aid, a considerable part of it under the point four program of giving technical advice and assist- ance to under-developed lands and laying the ground work for U. S. private investments. Many influ- ential Republican lawmakers favor the Point Four program. But to an economy minded con- gress, that 7% billion dollars looks tempting as cutting material. PROPRIETOR OF ART SHOP SHOT BY BANDIT DAYTONA BEACH #—A holdup man beat and fatally shot an &- year-old art shop proprietor Mon- day night and got away with $50 from the cash register. The victim was Kyozo Yoshimi who died Tuesday from the stom- ach wound. The aged Japanese could give police only a sketchy description of the killer: About 5’ 8", 140 pounds, gray suit and brown hat. A neighbor who heard Yoshimi | scream found him on the floor the back of his shop tied wi strips of a T-shirt. peace et PROMISE OF DELIGHT “+ Chapter Six NTHEA sent her notice into the office the following Friday, tapping it out on her typewriter, and to Miss Smither’s anxiety and embarrassment, sending it into her father by hand, Jim Darwin was waiting for her outside the office that evening, and | d; she accepted his offer of a lift home with alacrity. She felt free and gay, and on top of the world. No- ticing Miss Smithers watching her get into the car, she waved gaily. What did it matter? She was leav- ing in a week’s time, and Miss Smithers could think what she liked. She smiled and talked with Jim. She felt in a good tem with everyone. She had seen Joe three times that week. In a few days his father would arrive in England, and she would see him, and fix up the ic and be away, to the South and the sunshine. “I see,” said Jim, “that people have moved in next door to you.” “Yes.” His voice brought her out of her dreams. “Have you seen them?” “Yes.” Jim turned and looked at her questioningly, and she stirred a little restlessly under his glance, as though he might read her thoughts, for she knew they were both romantic and absurd. “What do you think of them? ae told they are film peo- ple.’ “They are—and they seem to be very nice.” “They have the most peculiar servant,” said Jim. “When I passed this morning she was sitting out on the step shelling peas, and smoking a cigarette.” “You mean Bianca, the Carlottis’ maid. Yes, I saw her when I went to work. Everyone was so shocked «~~ but why? Why shouldn't she By Mary Howard sit on the if the Carlottis don’t mind?” oe “Do you know them?” “Yes.” 2 “That's quick work, isn’t it?” She smiled. “Yes, I suppose so. r a a like that some- times, Oh, Jim, I haven't told you yet. I gave Daddy my notice to- lay. “You what?” he said, aghast. “I gave my notice. I've been dis- satisfied for some time. I want to be on my own. I never got any- where, Daddy being the boss at Consolidated. No one thought I could do anything on my own.” “What are you going to do?” he itechized her. cal q ” “Wheres “Why do you ask?” He went crimson. “Look here, Anthea, we've been going out to- gether for a long while now. Don’t look at me as though I have no right to ask you that.” She said, “I don’t think you have really, but Pll tell you. I asked Joe Carlotti if his father would want a secretary while he was in Europe. He will, and I’ve applied for the job.” “And if you get it?” “It may be three or four months here, and two in the South of . ink.you’re behaving vi badly,” he said unexpectedly. oo NTHEA’S temper began to fray a little. “I don’t know why. I don’t un- derstand this sudden proprietory attitude. We’ve gone about to- gether, yes, and I was glad. After all, I’m a born wallflower, and it was very nice of you.” He caught her eye, and looked away, and an inward chuckle killed Anthea’s temper at the roots. It was quite obvious that, embarrassing as it was, Jim thought the same thing. Smathers Reports Legislative Firecracker Given To Senate The first big legislative fire- cracker of the new Congress was set off as the new Senate met this year when a small group of so- called ‘iberals moved to change the rules of the Senate. The ulti- mate purpose of this move was to allow debate to be cut off by a simple majority vote so that the proponents of a compulsory F. E. P. C. could force it through the | Senate at this session. Since the first Senate met in 1789 the rule has existed allowing free and un-; limited debate. As a matter of fact the founding fathers planned it that way and I was proud to vote against the proposed change along with 69 other Senators. This right goes far beyond a mere issue of the “Filibuster” or the “Gag Rule.” It transcends the question of civil rights and pro- blems relating to race, color, or creed. I am by no means original in asserting that the filibuster is a major, indispensable bulwark for civil rights for minorities and in- deed it would be ironic if filibuster civil rights. Because a filibuster is a legis- turies by the protection it has af- forded, which gives strength to a were swept away in the name of lative device, honored over the cen- | the “liberal” block, shall it be 51 per cent of those present, 51 per cent of those voting, or 51 per cent of those entitled to vote? The answer, of course, is ob- vious. The founding fathers, re- cognizing the existence and the danger of the “tyranny of the majority” wrote into the Constitu- tion and the able patriots who have served in the Senate during 163 years, have written into Sen- ate rules a means of defeating hasty; emotional, and possibly op- pressive action by a majority. It is part and parcel of what every school child. learns as the United States government’s system of “checks and balances.” It is the essence of our consti- iF ec pases pee ie pol him, am ee malicious, suppose, I were to ask now, you'd lau “I'm afraid I'v i i : é Est i a Hf ae those athletic strij nec = “When wi ii “I haven't ee the “What do you know people? It aaah be that filibusters have not this nation of any beneficial ‘legis- lation. We have come through six major wars, prospered, progressed and grown, but Senate rules re- main substantially the same. Let us not, therefore, now change them for the sole purpose of forcing a compulsory F. E. P. C. for the danger in such action far out- weighs any temporary claimed advantage. I'm happy the Senate as its first act this year successfully met this challenge to our democratic institutions.
