S. senate is not support ing President Eisenhower on tbs foreign aid bill. Last week the senate cut the appropriation tor. this purpose, but apparently apj proved the bill.

Before adjournment the whole foreign aid program may be cut in two much to the embarrassment at the President. < 0- —0— — 1 Special shopping days not only bring pleasure to those who appreciate extra value for the dollar, but provide a« opportunity te meet friends and neighbors.

He had outetanding success as publisher and co-owner of thet merged dailies in Portland, in which field he was active from 1918 to the mid thirties.

The race is between Sen. John Sherman Cooper, a Republican, and former Vice President Alben Barkley. Both men are very popular and have proved themselves able vote-getters. While Democrats hope to return Mr. Barkley to the senate, his opponent is an able member of congress. He has made a good record. The same is true of Alben Barkley. Few politicians are more widely respected or held In more genuine affection. He proved himself an able legialator in the years be spent In Washington and he was one of the most active vicepresidents in recent history. • Kentucky is fortunate in having two outstanding candidates in the race to represent the state in the United States senate.

H President Eisenhower made an ■emotional talk before Washington newspaper correspondents in defense of Gen. George Marshall, Army Chief of Staff in World War 11. The President defended the General and cited Marshall’s successful military career. Politi- , elans. including a United States senator from Indiana, have been unjustly and viciously smearing Gen. Marehall. President Eisenhower in no uncertain terms told the correspondents that xhese attacks on the world war hero were unjust and that Gen. Marshall was » true patriot.
