What Would You Send to Mars? , This month’s issue of “USSR-Soviet Life Today , the official Russian propaganda magazine distributed in the United States, has an interesting article by the same title as this editorial. The article included 15 questions and answers circulated in the Russian youth magazine, “Komsomol Pravda” (Young Communist League Truth). The questions assumed that the Soviets were sending the first rocket to Mars, where they would encounter thinking beings. They would have room on the rocket for 15 exhibits, showing the level of our 20th century early civilization. What should be sent?' 1. What documentary photo of the event of the century should be sent? Russian youth answered that it should be a picture from the Russian Revolution of 1917. What they are referring to is, of course, the second Russian revolution of that year, the one which overthrew the original revolutionists before they could convene a Democratic congress, and establish a solid, non-Czarist, progressive government. We can’t help but feel that some other event might be more significant, but only the future can telL We would feel, for example, that the founding of the United Nations, which has actually stopped a number of dangerous war situations, and gives us an international forum of great value in cooling national tempers, as a more important event than a bloody, unnecessary establishment of dictatorial power. 2. What document written in this century of historic importance to all mankind should be put in the capsule? The Russians replied in general with the program of the Communist party of the Soviet Union! This, they claimed, was well-known over the world, most important, etc. Actually, it contains the goals that the nationally controlled economy is supposed to try to reach. This is seldom done — m fact, most of us purposely set goals we work toward, rather than reach. Again, we would feel that the Four Freedoms declaration, which was truly international, rather than narrowly partisan and national, would be of more importance. 3. The biography of what great man should be inclosed? The Russians answered with a 98.2% unanimity of Lenin. They might have answered Stalin just 20 years ago. Who knows who their official hero will be in 20 more years? „ We would suggest Albert Einstein. Why. He epitomizes what we believe in — individualism, without stepping on the rights of others. A poor, Jewish postman in Switzerland — that’s what he was. But he was brilliant, and by his own thoughts, efforts, and study, he completed mathematical theories that made possible the rapidly changing world of today, from atomic energy forward. He did more to change the world, by peaceful ways, to ease the burden of work from man, than anyone else in our century by laying the foundation necessary for the atomic world. Lenin led a second revolution in one backward country —old Russia. He was successful, and his work has lasted, in certain Ways, almost 50 years. But governments have come and gone, and will come and go in the next few thousand years. The Hittites, Sumerians, Accadians, Egyptians, Assyrians, Persians - where are they today? Who were their Lenins? But the work of the man who invented writing, or the lever, or the inclined plane, etc. — their work lives on.

Foreign Aid Foes Foresee Slashes
WASHINGTON (UPI) —Foreign aid opponents saw President Johnson's lowered “asking price*’ for the aid program today as an invitation to make further slashes. Even its supporters conceded that further cuts may be made. “I think it’s a good indication that the administration now realizes that the aid program isn’t doing what they originally hoped it would do,” said Rep. Otto E. Passman. D-La., “so now they are beginning to phase it out.” — Passman, chairman of a House Appropriations Committee on foreign aid and traditionally the program’s harshest critic, said of Johnson’s $3.4 billion request: Asking Price “There’s an asking price and a settling price. That’s the asking price. “I’m sure we’re going to find plenty of fat in it. The American taxpayer can expect us to make a substantial reduction.” Chairman Thomas E. Morgan, D-Pa., of the House Foreign Affairs Committee said Johnson’s aid message showed that the program is being “tightened up” with emphasis now on selfhelp rather than aid. “The President’s program this

year is not the same old story,” said Morgan, whose committee tentatively set Monday as the start of hearings on the authorizing legislation. “The committee will review the program in detail to see if we can make a further saving without curtailing our cold war effort.” “Too Much” “I think it’s too much,” said Rep. Frances P. Bolton, ROhio, senior GOP member of the foreign affairs committee. “I’m surprised he would ask for so much. Since he’s asking everybody to cut down at home, why shouldn’t we cut down also abroad?” House Republican Leader Charles A. Halleck, Ind., was pleased the message went to Capitol Hill relatively early in the year so Congress will have plenty of time to look it over in detail. But he thought the requested figure “a cause of concern.” The $3.4 billion asked was somewhat more than Congress granted after a long struggle last year. President John F. Kennedy had asked originally for $4.5 billion. Democratic leaders praised the President’s message. Rep. Hale Boggs, La., Democratic whip, termed it “well conceived” and said he hoped for early action on it.
Men's Prayer Breakfast At Center Saturday Beginning Saturday, the monthly men’s prayer breakfast will be held at the Decatur Youth and Community Center at 630 a.m. Due to increased attendance, the group found it necessary to obtain larger quarters.
