Spring Has Sprung The beautiful early April weather has come as quite a relief to the frigid winter which those of us who remained here had to endure. These past two weeks have brought out the crocuses, species iris, smallest violets, muscari, early tulips, and daffodils, bleeding heart, and other harbingers of summertime. As we begin to stir and move about again, cleaning up the yard, let’s all take a look around see how we’re doing, compared to the best around us. Yes, let’s not be content with second-best, let’s fix up our homes and cars, after a hard winter, clean our yards — spruce up in general. The Easter theme of the renewal of life can carry over into our own lives, and not only renew our faith, our good will and manners, but also give us the incentive to prepare for good weather by fixing up a little. As we unbundle from a wicked winter, and think of the warm summer days ahead, when we’ll be outside most of the time, let’s think about others — how they will feel if they have to look at the same old dingy paint, same old broken walks, same old weeds, etc. Let’s think of others, and clean up our own homes, yards, walks, drives, etc., paint-up, fix-up, cleanup all through our city. Many cities set aside a special week for just that purpose. Even the post office spends a month each year checking mail boxes, to make sure they are fit to hold mail in all sorts of weather. Aren’t there a few things you were thinking of doing? Putting in a new walk, a swimming pool, repairing the steps, or foundation, reshingling a roof, etc? Now’s the best time, before the heat of summer saps your strength and energy, and keeps you from the work! Yes, April is a good time to get prepared for six months of outdoor living, and you will want everything, from your auto to your boat and outboard motor, and even the old lawnmower, to be ready, so you can go, go, GO when the time is ripe! Ever notice how bright and cheerful other towns are? They don’t get that way by pointing out what your neighbor can do — they get that way because everyone in town works hard on his own property, and keeps it up! Let’s get busy!

Foreign Aid Plan Is In Deep Trouble

By STEWART HENSLEY United Press International WASHINGTON (UPD—President Kennedy’s foreign aid program has barely begun its perilous course through Congress and already there are signs it is in deep trouble. Administration officials acknowledged that Kennedy’s $4.5 billion request for the fiscal year beginning July 1 isgoing to be cut—-the only question is “How much?” Ambassadors of countries receiving large amounts of aid are among those most anxious to get reliable Neither State Department officials nor friendly congressmen can give them valid estimates at this time. Predictions of the probable cuts to be made by congressional surgeons range from SSOO million to $1 billion. The administration is understood to feel that any cut below $4 billion will force elimination of vital programs and may imperil U.S. security. Some Reject Contention Some congressmen, who slashed last year's aid request from $4.9 billion to $3.9 billion, can be counted on to reject that contention. It long had been apparent the foreign aid bill was going to be a principal target of economyminded legislators this year. The fact that Kennedy appears to many to be heading for a record peacetime deficit, coupled with his demand for income tax reductions, was bound to intensify the legislative hunt for places to cut appropriations. As has often been said, the State Department’s “constituents” can’t vote in American elections. The foreign aid bill offers a more tempting target than U.S. rivers and harbors appropriations, for example. However, it would be unfair to attribute the major part of the problem to domestic politics. Even some of the staunchest supporters of foreign aid in both parties believe there is waste and inefficiency which should be eliminated. t . Very few congressmen, indeed,

Slate Traffic Toll Increased To 268 By United Press International Two youths were killed in separate accidents less than half an hour apart in adjoining counties today, raising Indiana’s traffic death toll for 1963 to at least 268 compared with 249 a year ago. Lance Berg, 18, Michigan City, was killed and three young companions were hurt critically when their car ran off a Porter County road near Chesterton and rammed a concrete culvert this morning. Michael Bartnik, 20, Cedar Lake, was killed 20 minutes earlier on U.S. 41 in Lake County when his car collided with one driven by Milford Bradley, 54, Lowell. In the Porter County accident, James Bruhler, 21, Michigan City, driver of the car, was hurt critically as were Chester Peebly, 19, and Ronald Day, 19, Michigan City. All were taken to Doctors’ Hospital in Michigan City. In the Lake County accident, Bradley was hurt critically and David Thornberry, 20, Cedar Lake, seriously. Both were taken to St- Margaret’s Hospital in Hammond. Two women died Monday from injuries suffered in accidents last month. Mrs. Mary Gray, 56, Indianapolis, died of injuries suffered March 26 when her car was involved in a capital city accident, and Vivian Berninger, 57, Alpine, died in a Connersville hospital from March 21 injuries in a Connersville area accident. Driver's License Ordered Suspended Robert W. Johnson, 922 N. 12th St., has had his driver’s license suspended for a period of six months, according to the latest driver suspension list issued by the bureau of motor vehicles. The suspension, which runs from Feb. 4 to August 4, was’ due to leaving the scene of an accident. COURT NEWS Petition Filed A petition to vacate part of an alley and part of a street was filed by the Berne Lumber Co., Inc., against the city of Berne. A summons was ordered issued to the sheriff to be served upon Forrest Balsinger, mayor and Richard L.

would kill or emasculate the program. But many feel there is room to tighten it up and their principal weapon is an over-all reduction in funds. They believe the administration can accomplish its objective for less money if it is forced to do soSome Observers Puzzled In view of the rough sledding ahead for the aid bill anyway, some Washington observers have been puzzled by the administration’s tactics. The President cut the $4.9 billion request in his original budget to $4.5 billion before sending the program to the hill. This apparently was in response to recommendations made by the Clay committee appointed by Kennedy to study the subject. Some of the President's own aides question the wisdom of lowering the request. They felt it was a mistake to reduce the base from which Congress would begin its surgery. Others felt the Clay report should have been kept confidential to avoid giving more ammunition to aid opponents. The administration decided against this on the valid grounds that speculation and “leaks” undoubtedly would give the impression the committee had taken a more critical stand than it actually did in its relatively mild report. The next error, in the view of some observers, was in the stand taken by Secretary of State Dean Rusk, the administration’s first witness before Congress for the bill. Rusk told the House Foreign Affairs Committee anyone advocating sharp cuts in the program was actually cooperating with “global communist strategy.” Rusk Apologizes Later This sparked understandble resentment and Rusk’s subsequent apology for his choice of words did little to pacify congressmen who felt they had been accused of aiding the enemy. The new aid bill request includes $3.1 billion for economic assistance and $1.4 billion for military aid. The President has promised that more than 80 per cent of the aid funds will be spent in the United States, assisting the do mestic economy and softening the impact on the dollar balance problem. He has pledged tighter controls and eventual elimination of aid to some countries nearing self-suf-ficiency. -In the final analysis,'the President’s two greatest weapons are: —The belief by many congressmen that the aid program is, as the administration claims, vital to prevent the spread of Communist influence. —The realization by most congressmen that too drastic reduction would have a bad effect cm the U.S. economy, in which many companies are engaged in selling goods and services to carry out the program. These two factors, balanced against the new economy wave, will determine the final amount approved by Congress some months hence

Two Democrats Quit Indianapolis Race INDIANAPOLIS (UPD - Two men dropped out of the running for the Democratic nomination for mayor of Indianapolis today, leaving five in the field and more or less clear sailing for former Indiana State Police Supt. John J. Barton. Former Marion County Sheriff Robert Elliott and Andrew Jacobs, Jr., an attorney who was nominated for Congress from the 11th District last year, quit the contest Elliott issued a statement of withdrawal saying he sought party harmony and would support Barton, who was regarded as the leading candidate because he won the endorsement of City Hall and the Statehouse. Jacobs planned a news conference for later in the day to explain his withdrawal. He also was expected to support Barton, who quit as police chief two weeks ago to run for mayor with Governor Welsh’s blessing. Besides Barton, two political unknowns and former State Sen. Nelson G. Grills and former Marion County party chairman Russell Swisher remained in the race. There are 10 candidates for the Republican nomination. Five Boys Are Given Suspended Sentences Five juvenile boys, all Decatur students, have received two-year suspended sentences to the Indiana boy’s school at Plainfield for beerstealing. The five youths, two 15 years of age and the other three 14 years old, received the suspended sentence in juvenile court Saturday. They were placed on probation to Chris H. Muselman, county probation officer, for the two years of the suspended sentence. • The five were sent to juvenile court after a recent episode in which they stole four cases of beer from a truck parked in an alley downtown.
