The system, a 1-acre skimmer and settling pond spilling into a 10-acre waste stabilization pond, will be put into use within a month to handle industrial waste. Designed to meet the requirements of the state stream pollution control board, the new lagoons dominate a 20-acre plot west of highway 27 north of the St. Mary’s river bridge. The area * was diked many years ago to serve as a lime pit for the Central Sugar company, from which the present Central Sgya company developed. The lagoon was prepared by John Dehner, a Fort Wayne contractor. They will employ bacterial action to dispose of waste. The design depth of 4 to 5 feet will minimize anv odor problem, according to state officials. —<Photo by MacLeani

Explains Liberals’ Foreign Aid Revolt

EDITOR’S NOTE: President Kennedy’s foreign aid program is in deep troube in Congress after many years of bipartisan support. Much of it comes not from conservative critics who have opposed foreign aid in the past but from liberals who have supported it. Why? One of those liberal supporters, Sen. Frank Church, D-Idaho, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, explain the “liberal revolt’’ in the following dispatch written exclusively for United Press International. By Sen. Frank Church (D,-Idaho) Written for UPI WASHINGTON (UPD— When conservatives in Congress criticize foreign aid, it’s hardly news. But when the liberals begin to join the revolt, it is time to ask what’s gone wrong. Congressional resistance to this year’s foreign aid authorization bill is at an all-time high. The House of Representatives has . already . struck a billion dollars from the President’s request; the bill was mired down in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for months before the committee approved it. By the time the appropriations process exacts Mts toll. President Kennedy will be lucky to come out with a program for the coming year, fully half a billion less than the least Eisenhower year. Why ’ should a Democratic Congress so treat a Democratic president, particularly one who has reorganized the whole program and placed it in the hands of David Bell, the ablest director yet? Why should the revolt come on the heels of the most successful innovation in the aid program since Truman’s famous “Point Four” inaugurated technical assistance? I refer, of course, to the Peace Corps, a Kennedy triumph, which seems really to be reaching through, on a

people-to-people basis, to capture the enthusiasm of young nations and young Americans alike’. Why, then, the revojt? As one liberal who is taking part in it, I think the reasons are several in number and cumulative in character. To begin with, Congress has finally lost patience with the apparent inability of the administrators to ever bring aid programs to an end. By 1962, the list of recipient countries had grown to 107! This left only eight countries in the whole of the free world which were not getting some forln of American subsidy! Even the rich, fully-recovered nations of Western Europe and Japan are still receiving sizeable grants of our military equipment and supplies. It is preposterous that spigots, once opened on the American foreign aid barrel, should continue to drip indefinitely. A second reason for the liberal revolt is the frustration we have suffered in our long-time efforts to shift foreign aid from gifts to loans. Had we loaned, instead of given, most of the money under the Marshall Plan to the countries' of Western Europe, we would not have so serious a problem with our balance-of-payments today, for we would now be in a position to call back from the presently prosperous European countries, ithout hardship to them, the money we should have loaned them in the postwar years. Drawing on this experience, we established, some years ago, a Development Loan Fund, for the underdeveloped countries, confident that it would serve to place aid for economic development of these regions on a genuine loan, rather than grant, basis. Now we discovering that the flexibility provided the DLF has resulted in virtually all “loans” .being made on 40year repayment schedules, with generous grace periods during which no repayment of principal occurs, and with interest rates as low as % of 1 per cent. In short, instead of giving away money and calling it a gift, we are now giving away money and calling it a loan! Even the Soviet Union, while denouncing the "Wall Street money-chang-ers," never gets less than 2 per cent on long-term credits. — A third cause for the spreading liberal revolt is the sheer size of the continuing aid program. We have voted for it because we believe our national purposes are served by extending help to others; but we

have observed that, outside of industrial Europe, our most conspicuous successes have been achieves through the least costly parts of the program — the Peace Corps, technical assistance, and surplus food. There is a growing feeling that the need for huge project investmehts in any given country should be met through the greater use of international lending institutions like the World Bank. These institutions can impose requirements necessary for sound investment management which Often cannot be demanded by one sovereign nation of another. Moreover, the investment capital of such institutions is contributed by all the rich, industrial countries, so that the burden is shared, as it should be, rather than borne entirely by the United States. To meet these defects in foreign aid, liberal members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee have this year given both direction and support to efforts to modify the program. I myself have, secured the committee’s approval of an amendment which would prohibit all further grants of aid to fully self-sufficient countries, which, as late as 1962, still amounted to nearly S4OO million dollars. Another amendment, offered by Sen. Frank Lausche, D-Ohio, and having significant liberal first five years and a minimum % per cent interest rate for the first five years and a m ini mu of two per cent for the next 30 years with a maximum 35.year repayment period. As a first thrust against mammoth projects, the committee has adopted an amendment by Sen. Albert Gore, D-Tenn., placing a SIOO million ceiling on American contributions to any given project abroad, unless specific congressional approval is asked for and obtained. Even with these improvements, and others that space does- not permit me to detail, it is by no means certain that the liberal disaffection with foreign aid can be remedied. There are fundamental changes which must occur, if strong, sustained support for foreign aid is ever to be regained. For example, the military assistance program is both wasteful and excessive. Vast quantities of arms have been handed over, through the years, to countries wholly unable to use or maintain, them, and have been lost to rust, rot and indifference. . Many liberals are agreed that military aid ought not to. have been commenced in Africa, or continued in Latin America — areas which are remote from either Russia or Red China, Where the thin resources are desperately needed for public health, education, and economic development. And how long must we continue to keep two American divisions in Korea? Ten years after the fighting has ceased, we are still spending almost .half a billion a year to sustain a garrison state in South Korea. If, after so enormous an outpouring of our money, equipment, arms and training, the South Koreans are nob yet able to guard their own narrow frontier, then when can they be expected to assume that responsibility? And what about the quarterbillion we plunge into Formosa each, year? Is this to be a permanent expenditure, just to indulge an old man’s dreams—to sustain an army twice as big as necessary to defend his island and not a tenth big enough to menace the mainland? ■ These are the questions liberals are asking. We. understand • that Kennedy inherited these excesses, and we don't blame him for them. But it is now within his power to come to grips with them. Wherever he has taken a new initiative, we have given him ardent support. We have applauded the Alliance for Progress in the hope that it might

WOMEN (Continued from Page 1) and Mrs. Robert S. Anderson. Mike and Ann Louise Stonestreet, children of Mr. and Charles Stonestreet, delighted the crowd with their rendition of “Gary, Indiana,” and “He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands.” The Republican candidates were introduced and the following spoke: Mayor Donald F. Gage and council candidates Gerald Strickler, Don Mac Lean, Clarence Ziner, Charles Stonestreet and Mrs. Spaulding. In introducing the candidates, Anderson said “Win, loose or draw, I shall always cherish the past four years, and the feeling of a sense of accomplishment. Our city has made terrific progress under the leadership of Don Gage, a gentleman who has been a good mayor. I am proud of our ticket this fall, and they deserve the consideration of the yoters.” Took Cooperation Anderson enumerated the 8% miles of street improvements, 54 blocks of alleys paved, two new water tanks, fire station building and trucks, new water mains, police building and new street lights as major accomplishments during the past four years. “These took the cooperation of all but don’t forget it was done under the leadership of Mayor Gage,” the city attorney declared. Mayor Gage pointed out to the audience the accomplishments of the past four years and paid recognition to all the city personnel who made the accomplishments possible . Dr. James M_ Burk gave a short talk on plans for the campaign, as did Dave Campbell, headquarters manager, and H. L. Lankenau, city G. O. P. chairman, and Jerry Mclntosh, Young Republican chairman, discussed plans for the party’s participation in the Callithumpian parade. Miss Julia Anderson, daughter of the city attorney, distributed long-stemmed roses to each lady present, and helped to serve refreshments after the meeting. Miss Peggy Hill In College Production Miss Peggy Hill, daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. Charles Hill, of Decatur, will portray the mute in the fall drama production of the “Fantasticks” at Eastern Montana College, Billings, Mont., Frederick K. Miller, drama director, announced today. The musical comedy is scheduled for Nov. 19-24. It is the story of two young lovers thwarted by daily problems and intervening mothers. Miss Hill is also the aT- • ternate for the female lead, Louisa. Direc+or Miller stated that he believes the selected cast has the capability to produce one of the finest musical comedies ever staged at the college. The group has enthusiastically started rehearsals and planning stage equipment and costuming. help free .Latin America from feudalism and dictatorship, the seedbeds of communism. We approve the way he has broken off relations with the junta governments in the Dominican Republic apd Honduras, and suspended the aid program to both countries as a lever toward the return of constitutional government. We think the aid program ought to be selectively extended to, or withheld from, the Diem regime in South Viet Nam as seems best calculated to induce it to put its own house in order. For this too, the President deserves much credit. The basic reforms in foreign aid are still to be accomplished. They can’t come all at once, but progress toward them must become more evident. Liberals who have supported foreign aid in the past, at considerable political risk, have a right to be heeded now, as they seek to reshape the program to better serve the interest of the American people.

71 Os Present Stale Mayors Are Democrats By BOYD GILL United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—If the Democrats win the majority of Indiana mayor races in the Nov. 5 municipal elections, it will mark the third time in a row they have swept the cities. A three-time consecutive win hasn’t been accomplished since the Republicans did it in the Franklin D. Roosevelt years between 1934 and 1942. At present, 71 mayors are Democrats and 37 are Republicans. The GOP situation is even worse than it looks on the face, because that party controls only one of the 29 most populous cities—those ranging in size from Frankfort, population 15,300, on up to Indianapolis. That lone GOP city is Kokomo, whose mayor, John W. Miller, a schoolman, is seeking reelection. Miller recently headed the Indiana Municipal League as president. Results In Fractions Actually, the political division after the 1959 election was 70% Democrats and 37% Republicans. The strange fractions came about because a virtual tie existed at Elkhart and to avoid inconvenient delays through a court contest, the candidates agreed to divide the four-year term, the Republican serving the first two years and the Democrat the second. This was almost an exact duplicate of the 1955 election outcome, when the Democrats won the mayor races, 71 to 32. That year was a complete reversal of the 1951 election, when 70 Republican and 33 Democratic mayors were elected. The 1947 election was almost a tossup, the Democrats edging their opponents 54 to 48. After the market crash in 1929, the Democrats won 56 to 44 in the 1930 mayor races. Next time, however, in 1934, the GOP got back on top 60-51, and increased its margin to 73-29 in the 1938 election and 74-28 in the 1942 election. While the numerical count of mayors by parties is one yardstick, it isn’t the only one. Naturally, more prestige accrues to the party which grabs such mayoralty elections as Indianapolis, which as a population greater than the combined population of three-fourths of all the other cities in the state,, than to the party which wins in a tiny city the size of Loogootee or Woodburn. Woodburn, incidentally used to be known as Shirley City and for ye'ars has been Indiana’s smallest city with a population of 585. Vincennes Elected One The entry of at least 10 independent party candidates in the mayor races, creating threeway contests in a number of cities, brings up the question: Does a candidate without a major party label ever win? The answer is yes. Vincennes, the state’s 26th largest city, had an independent mayor in the 19505, and so did one smaller Southern Indiana city. Among the independents running this time <are John P. Currin in Batesville, Elmo J. Magnabosco in Clinton, Warren Krill in East Chicago, Emery Konrady in Gary, Harry C. Beamer in Hammond, Paul J. Locklear in Hobart, and Merritt R. Monks in Winchester. Magnabosco filed after losing to the current mayor in the Democratic primary last May. Konrady filed as an independent after polling 17,000 votes in the primary but losing to City Judge A. Martin Katz. Beamer and Locklear filed on the Prohibition Party ticket. Monks is a former Republican state legislator who switched to the Democratic party but fared poorly in election bids thereafter.

Nixon Again Denies He Is A Candidate - NEW YORK (UPD — Former Vice President Richard M. Nixon has issued a denial of reports that he may be a dark hors® candidate for the 1964 Republican presidential nomination. “I have noticed a rash of statements about my intentions,” Nixon said. “First I am not a candidate and there will not be a draft. I am not supporting or opposing any of those who have indicated they are candidates.” Woman Is Held For Shooting Husband LAFAYETTE, Ind. (UPD — Mrs. Willie Mae Mitchell, 39, Lafayette, was in jail today for assault and battery after she shot her husband, who said he had locked himself out of the house and wanted to return. James Mitchell told police he locked himself out of the house accidentally during an argument Saturday with his wife. He was shot when he tried to get back in through an upstairs window. Mrs Mitchell told police she thought her husband was going to attack her. Mitchell, struck in the arm by the shotgun blast, said he just wanted bapk inside.
