Senate Passes Foreign Aid Bill Friday Any Major Changes Are Defeated In Marathon Session WASHINGTON <UPI) — The Senate rested today after laboring late into the night for two straight days to clear President Eisenhower's foreign aid program. The weary lawmakers passed the $3,713,000,000 measure,. 51 to 17, at 11:36 p.m. e.d.t. Friday night after rejecting any major changes. The bid now goes to a SenateHouse conference co mmittee which must reconcile it with a slightly smaller House version, f - Still to come is the pay-off battle for separate legislation to •actually appropriate funds for the program. The bills passed by both houses so far merely authorze the spending without puttng up the money. The Senate is believe almost iDemocratc leadership said today he thought debate would begin in a week or 10 days on a labor reform bll. i The Senate s believe almost sure to approve the "moderate” anti-rackets bill. But it appeared doubtful the House would act at this session. Chairman John L. McClellan (D-Ark.) of /the Senate Rackets Committee gave the measure a strong boost Friday. He announced he would support it and he hinted he would help hold the line against any attempts to toughen it up on the floor. The rackets committee will begin hearings Tuesday on the author - patron relationship of Maxwell C. Raddock and Carpenters Union President Maurice A. Hutcheson. Committee Counsel Robert F. Kennedy said Hutcheson will be heard sometime during the week. His father, the late William L. Hutcheson, preceded Hutcheson as head of the carpenters organzation and was the subject of a biography written, published and sold by Raddock. Raddock will be heard Tuesdaiy. Charman McClellan said Friday he had a "strong suspicion” Raddock didn’t get all the profit from his $310,000 job on the Hutcheson biography.

Catholic Graduate Riles Held Friday Annual Exercises Held Last Evening After asking "What is education?” the Rev. Joseph Hayes supplied a two-point answer to his query at the Decatur Catholic schools’ graduation exercises Friday night in the school auditorium. He first told the audience of parents, teachers and friends, the 42-membered eighth grade graduating class, and the 20 graduating seniors what education is not: neither a mass of facts or information or something related to the earning of a livelihood. Education, he defined, Is the training of the mind to think correctly and the disciplining of the will to choose correctly. The Kev. Mr. Hayes stated that today the idea of education has been downgraded. The students who are compelled to attend school when they have no interest in study force the schools to bring in studies such as manual training—and proficiency in studies such as these do not mark the educated person, he declared. He cited the lack of emphasis in the classical studies, including mathematics, history and literature, in which the great ideas of the world are found. Further illustrating his point, he presented today's idea of the ordinary teenager, bringing chuckles from the audience as they visualized the speaker’s picture. “Ideas are supreme,” he repeated as he emphasized that the ideas the youth must be taught are those that are true, to help him to live “happily, peacefully, and successfully.” The discipline of the will that leads to such virtue is truth applied to human life. In the light of this, he stated, in conclusion, “Secular and religious education are not to be divided.” The Rev. Mr. Hayes’ address followed the processional: “Pomp and Circumstance,” played by the school band, and the seniors’ class song, “No Man Is An Island.” After distributing the seniors diplomas, the Very Rev. Msgr. Joseph J. Seimetz, aided by Miss Theresa Laurent, presented awards for the highest scholastic honors to Miss Mary Frances Beckmeyer and Frederick Lengerich. Miss Carolyn Heimann and William Beal received honorable mention for scholastic achievement. Miss Elizabeth Baker, he announced, was the recipient of the leadership award; David Kable, the activities award, and William Beal, the award recognizing citizenship and cooperation-. Three members of the graduating class earned scholarships, Msgr. Seimetz stated. Miss Mary Frances Beckmeyer received a scholarship to Marian College, Indianapolis; Carolyn Heimann to St. Francis College, Fort Wayne; and. Frederick Lengerich, to St. Joseph College, Rensselaer. To "Jfarch Majestic,” the eighth grade graduates took the senior class’ place of honor on the stage, where they sang, "The Lord Bless Yop and Keep You.” Msgr. Seimetz presented the class six awards for scholastic honors. The Holy Name society and K. of C. auxiliary scholarships went to John Kohne and Miss Janet Baker; Stephen Blythe.

Mogilner, one of the three defendants accused of bribery.

Smith, reached at his home m Milan where he is awaiting appeal of a previous scandal conviction, said he has not conferred with his attorney, Frank Synunes But Smith promised, “IT I testify 111 just tell the truth.” Checks issued by Mogilner t o Smith were the basis of the state’s case against Mogilner, Sherwood and Sayer. Tinder sought to prove they were issued to bribe Smith for the awarding of heavy equipment contracts to firms represented by Mogilner. To convict the other defendants, the state must prove Sherwood and Sayer had a hand in arranging the payments. Asked whether Sherwood and Sayer had a part in arranging the Mogilner checks. Smith replied: “Why no, they didn’t have anything to do with It” The trial’s first week ended Friday without seating of a juryBoth sides were optimistic the panel could be chosen when court resumes Monday. Tinder promised he will prosecute the unnamed ex-highway official along with others he said got cash from Mogilner, if evidence is strong enough. _ The checks issued to Smith were made out to “V. Wilson.” Smith said this was true because "that's my name" (Virgil Wilson Smith). Smith was asked if he knew the other recipients of money referred to by Tinder.

Russian Secretary Expelled By U. S. Embassy Secretary Is Ordered Expelled WASHINGTON (UPI) — The State Department disclosed today that it has expelled a Soviet Embassy third secretary for improperly trying to buy secret Army manuals and other material. The expulsion was ordered in a brief note to the Russian Embassy Friday. The secretary, Nicolai I. Kurochkin, is expected to leave in one or two days. The expulsion order came about three weeks after Russia expelled John A. Baker Jr., second secretary at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, on a complaint that he was too friendly with Russian students. The State Department said Kurochkin “was found to have paid hundreds of dollars to an American citizen for the improper procurement of United States Army manuals and other materials.” It said some of the documents he sought were classified as secret. The department did not say whether Kurochkin was successful in obtaining the material. * It referred reporters to both the Justice and Defense departments for answers to the American’s identity, the exact amount of money involved, and other questions. It was learned, however, that the American in the case was neither a government employe nor a member of the armed servics.

Oct. 5 Date For National Referendum Seek To Strengthen French Government Through Reforms PARIS (UPI) — Gen. Charles de Gaulle and his cabinet today set Oct. 5 as the date for a nationwide referendum on a new constitution to end the “impotence of the public authorities.” De Gaulle consulted urgently with his ministers amid reports that the rebellious military-civilian juntas throught crushed in Algeria might try to spread their influence to metropolitan France. Members of the revolutionary “committees of public safety” which swept De Gaulle to power agreed publicly in Algeria to heed his orders to stop agitating. But there was strong evidence De Gaulle left considerable bitterness in Algeria, Informaton Minister Andre Malraux announced the decisions reached by De Gaulle and his cabinet at a two-hour meeting, the first full-dress session since he took over as premier last week. Seal of Approval Malraux said De Gaulle also planned to hold municipal elections in Algeria within a month. He said the cabinet also put the formal seal of approval on De Gaulle’s decision to retain responsibility for Algerian affairs. De Gaulle returned Friday night from a three-day triumphant tour of Algeria where he proclaimed the equality of its residents—Moslem and French alike. He promised that Algeria would take part in the referendum on a new constitution, Which would give the executive more powers and end the political game of “musical chairs” whicn has thrown Franc into crisis after crisis. The announcement of municipal elections for Algeria in a month came as somewhat of a surprise. De Gaulle has appointed Gen. Raoul Salan, commander-n-chief of the 400,000-man French force in Algeria, as his delegate-general, responsible only to the premier. Salan will be aided by an “important civilian administrator” yet to be named. Plan Nationwide Celebrations Malraux said De Gaulle will give a report to the nation on his Algerian visit next week. He also said nationwide celebrations will be organized for June 18—the 18th anniversary of De Gaulle's World War II rallying cry: “France has lost a battle. She has not lost the war.” Meantime, one J. E. Cavignet, who identifed himself as an "ancient chief of a Free French restance network deported to Dachau,” announced that “committees of public safety” have been organized in the Paris region and 14 other departments. In a mimeographed letter sent to news organizatons, Cavignet said “thanks to the discipline of our leaders, no incident has taken place and our action will be pursued in conformity with the action of the national renovation as it .is being traced by General de Gaulle himself.” In a letter published on his return to Paris Friday night from a triumphal three-day visit to Algeria, De Gaulle .ordered Salan to fire any officials who got out of line and see to it that the revolutionary “Committees of Public Safety" stayed in line. Committees Adonished Before leavng Oran for Paris De Gaulle told the committees they “must not encroach upon authority” and “your role is one of integration of souls. It is a great role, and it must not be overstepped.” His slapping down of the committees already was J taking effeet United Press International correspondent Peter Webb reported from Algiers today the military group had lined up solidly against the dissidents.
