T ooats 4< l Beg To Inform You —” This story begins with a letter sent to Thomas Colvin, an ordained church relief officer in Ghana. It md: Sir: *1 beg to inform you that the inhabitants of Bunkpurugu in the Bimoba area in the northern region are at present dying of famine. “As a catechist who has just started the Presbyterian church here and also a teacher in the L. A. primary school, I am compelled to report to you this awful situation for your immediate action. “I hope you will not turn a deaf ear to this letter, but with the hope that you will do all in your powers to rescue the dying. We look forward to hear from you. I have the honour to be, “Sir, “Yours in the Service of God “/s/G.M.K. Asamoah.” It was handwritten, dated November 19, 1963. What the sender did not know as he sat down to write those desperate words, was that before his message got to Tamali, Ghana, where Colvin was located, food, blankets and medicines would reach his people. For relief had been on its way long before Asamoah wrote his letter. The machinery had gotten into motion early in October, the very day that cabled news arrived in headquarters of Church World Service in New York City that the Volta river had flooded and wiped out the homes, livestock and belongings of 50,000 Ghanians. Each year the CWS disaster handling machinery goes into action approximately eighteen times, for such is the annual, average number of major and minor holocausts in the form of earthquake, flood, fire or man-caused strife in all parts of the world. At least three of the eighteen each year are of widespread, major consequence, such as the Ghana flood. So quickly does the CWS emer- z gency apparatus work that in the instances of the Ghana flood, word was received on October 1, at 10:30 a.m. By three o’clock that afternoon, $5,000 I in cash had been cabled to Accra and some 70,000 pounds of foodstuffs had been shifted with Ghana and was on its via airlift to the disaster zone. With a matter of days thereafter, tons of foodstuffs and other necessities were located, ordered, readied for shipment to the needy. At'the end of November the following had been shipped to Ghana, Church World Service reported to the World Council of Churches in Geneva, Switzerland: 210,000 pounds of yellow grain corn, 131,760 pounds of dried milk and 90 cases of concentrated milk, 70.000 •pounds all purpose flour, 47,750 pounds butter oil, 50,000 pounds corn meal, and 50,000 pounds bulgar wheat. y" ■- In addition, thousands of pounds of blankets, drugs, food supplements and other vital material had been rushed to the disaster zone. We don’t know precisely what happended to Mr. Asamoah or the Ghanians in his area, for word is slow in reaching Accra and the outside world from those isolated regions.- But relief DID arrive. The dying WERE succored, the hungry fed, and sick received antibiotics and medicines. The work is still in progress. For disaster hits hard and fast .... but the healing of the wounds is a slow, painful process. You share in helping people in acute need like this when you give generously to CROP, One Great Hour of Sharing, Share Our Substance, Catholic Relief Services, Lutheran World Relief, Mennonite Central Committee, and the National Association of Evangelicals, and similar appeals through our churches.

Goldwater To Speak Today In Michigan GRAND RAPIDS. Mich. (UPD — Republican presidential hopeful Barry Goldwater carries his campaign into the heart of Michigan’s GOP . stronghold today, determined to leave with the votes of the state's 48 delegates to the national convention. The visit is the first to Michigan by any announced presidential candioate and marks the first major speech by the Arizona senator since he announced his candidacy for the GOP nomination last Friday. Goldwater will be honored at a SIOO-a-plate GOP fund-raising dinner tonight. The Kent County Republican Committee anticipated a crowd of nearly 1.000 GOP stalwarts to attend the dinner. Goldwater was scheduled to arrive at the Kent County Airport in his private plane at 4 p.m. EST today and make a brief speech. Several hundred Goldwater supporters were expected to greet his arrival. He was next scheduled for a news conference at 5:30 p.m. at the Pantlind Hotel before the dinner program. Gov, George Romney will introduce Goldwater to the dinner guests at 7 p.m. A host of prominent GOP leaders was expected to attend the dinner, including Reps. Gerald R. Ford of Grand Rapids. August Johansen of Battle Creek, Edward Hutchinson of Fennville and Robert Griffin of Traverse City. Whether Goldwater gets the support of the Michigan delegation at the National Republican Convention in San Francisco next summer could very wel Ibe decided today. f ' • Romney has been at odds with Godwater on the senator’s stand on civil rights, the area of collective bargaining, legislation and foreign policy. Romney is considered a presidential possibility and the meeting today could possibly, determine the outcome of the ’64 GOP presidential nomination.

Takes Close Look At 88th Congress

(EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the first of four dispatches in which United Press International’s national reporter takes a dose look at the 88th Congress, its relations with the executive branch and some of its personalities.! By HARRY FERGUSON United Press International WASHINGTON (UPD—President Johnson is in much the same position today as a new animal trainer venturing for the first time Jnto a cage filled with 535 wild beasts. Congress reconvenes this week and it may be that the nation is about to witness another knock-down fight between the executive and legislative branches of the government. The prestige of Congress has hit one of its all-time lows. Some of its members realize this and are bold enough to say so: “The country,” remarked Sen. George D. Aiken, R-Vt.. the other day, “is disgusted with us.” Sen. Clifford Case, R-N.J.: "Congress is becoming the laughing stock of the nation.” A old saying by Mark Twain suddenly has become a current wisecrack in Washington: “Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.” Denounce System The serious critics of the 88th Congress are not primarily concerned with which bills have passed or . not passed. What they denounce is the “tyranny of committee chairmen”—a system under which one man can deny Congress its right, privilege and duty to vote on a piece of legislation. If a committee chairman personall y disapproves of a tbill, he simply Chicago Produce CHICAGO (UPD — Produce: Live poultry special fed ware rock fryers 18-19; roasters 2324. Cheese processed loaf 39% 44%; brick 39-45; Swiss Grade A 52-55; B 50-54.

bottles it up in his committee. Walter Lippmann, an eventempered journalist, writes: — “It cannot be denied, I think, that the 88th Congress has been paralyzed by furtive filibuster in the committees, by what may fairly be described as a conspiracy to suspend representative government.” A stranger entering the Senate or House galleries usually is either surprised or shocked. He expects to see a group of intelligent men debating an issue and preparing to take a vote. What he usually sees is a few men lounging in their chairs, reading newspapers and paying no attention to what is beig said by the man on his feet. A visitor from Europe described the House”' it is very strange. A man gets up to speak and says nothing of importance. Nobody listens and then everybody disagrees.” Wins First Battle President Johnson already has had .his first brush with Congress, and he won it. He compelled members of the House to return from Christmas vacations, meet at 7 a.m. on Christmas Eve and pass a foreign aid appropriations bill. He cracked the whip over the Senate on the same bill with somewhat fess success. Only tl of the 100 senators showed up and the vote had to be postponed, but eventually the Senate yielded and passed the bill. Johnson assumed the presidency with a vast reservoir of good will among congressmen. He has been a representative, a senator and Democratic leader of the Senate. He was personally popular on what is known here as “The Hill,” a name given to the Capitol because it is built on land 88 feet above the level of the Potomac River and towers over the flatlands of Washington. A president can use up his credit on The Hill very fast, and Johnson’s problem, starting this week, is to decide how repidly to demand’ payment for favors done in the past. Eventually every president has to make a basic decision—whether to drive his legislation through Congress or sit back and hope for the best. Either way he is likely to be in trouble.
