McNAMARA, who urged construction of JA the costly, ill-flying F-lll fighter while he was secretary of Defense, is now urging Congress to dole out more billions on foreign aid. McNamara, president of the World Bank, says that foreign aid must be expanded to touch the man-in-the-street “more immediately, to bring him quicker benefits and to stir him to greater benefits of his own.” Over 20 years and $120 billion in foreign aid have proved, however, that handouts don’t spark “greater efforts” but often impede them. Nehru of India admitted years ago that aid was no substitute for self-help. In fact, he said it was a form of tranquilizer, dulling the recipient country’s awareness of its problems. India, for example, needs to grow more food but hasn’t attacked the shortage because it gets American grain free. The people (and rats) get fed but the problem is not solved. Eventually, it will have to be faced but in the meanwhile much time r being wasted. India’s socialistic economy is in a shambles, despite the fact that it has been one of the biggest recipients of U.S. aid. Were American funds reduced instead of expanded, India would be forced to rely on its own resources and wouldn’t be able to afford expensive weapons. The Indian government buys weapons abroad, not to repel the aggressions of Communist China, which would make sense, but to fight Pakistan which also receives American aid. The same story is repeated in the Middle East where the United States has subsidized both sides of the Israeli-Arab conflict with arms and money. Subsequently, Congress has seen the futility of much of U.S. foreign aid and has cut it back. If anything, it should be reduced even further.

Next move is up to Veterans

PORTLAND, Ore. (UPI)-The next move in Oregon’s close U.S. senate race won by youthful Republican Robert Packwood is up to veteran Sen. Wayne Morse, D-Ore. Morse said he would decide after Christmas whether to take the issue to the U.S. Senate, which has the final say on who is seated. Packwood won the November election by 3,445 votes. A recount requested by Morse and completed last week showed the final margin to be 3,263 votes, a gain of just 182 for Morse, a 24year veteran of the upper chamber. But Morse’s observers challenged more than 47,000 ballots during the recount to about 38,000 for Packwood’speople. “My advisers point out,” Morse said last Thursday, “that I clearly won a majority of the votes If these several thousand illegal ballots had not been counted . . . the recount in fact is not over until the challenged ballots are appropriately alloted to the proper candidate.” But Morse said he would not call upon the Senate to investigate the election “unless

the evidence resulting from the recount satisfies me beyond doubt that in fact I won the election.” Packwood held a news conference Monday and issued a plea for cooperation from Morse. Dies from carbon monoxide MADISON, Ind. (UPI)—The bodies of a man and woman were discovered Sunday in a car parked along a Jefferson County road about 15 miles west of here, the deaths both caused by carbon monoxide poisoning. The victims were identified as Millard Barrett, 41, Paris Crossing, and Rosa Lee Snider, 43, Scottsburg. The car was spotted by Donaid Muster, a farmer who at first thought the car had been abandoned. When he found the couple inside, he called the Jefferson County sheriff.

by JANET STAUB Staff Reporter Christmas 1968 will see two carols celebrating anniversaries. “Silent Night” will be 150 years old and “O Little Town of Bethlehem” will observe its centennial. This Christmas Eve a dozen Americans, d e s c e n dants of an Austrian named Franz Gruber, will gather in a little church near Salzburg to help celebrate the special occasion. While television beams the gathering around the world, the descendants of the composer and representatives, from many nations will sing “Silent Night” just as it was first sung in the nearby town of Oberndorf on Christmas Eve, 1818. In English the carol is “Silent Night, Holy Night”. In Finnish it is “Joiluyo, Juhlayo” (Christmas Night, Holy Night). The Spanish people sing “Noche de Paz, Noche de Amor” (Night of‘ Peace, Night of Love.). Original lyrics to the song were written by the Rev. Joseph Mohr, the assistant pastor of St. Nicholas Church in Oberndorf. The lyrics have been altered into 50 languages. But the music remains the same as the guitar tune quickly scribbled by Gruber, the church organist, a few hours before midnight Mass because the church organ had broken down.

Whitcomb Inaugural tobe grand event

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The presidential inaugural may be a bigger, but the inauguration of Gov.-elect Edgar D. Whitcomb as the next chief executive of Indiana will be no less glamourous. The added ingredients include two formal balls the evening of the inauguration ceremony. Whitcomb will succeed Governor Branigin Jan. 13. The legal ceremonies will be held in the rotunda of the Statehouse. Richard E. Folz, Evansville, who will succeed outgoing Lt. Gov. Robert L. Rock, Anderson, and Theodore L. Sendak, Crown Point, who will succeed Atty. Gen. John J. Dillon, Indianapolis, also will take their oaths of office during the same ceremonies with Whitcomb. The three are among the Republican officials who are replacing Democrats. Following the inauguration,the GOP is planning further events. « Two balls are to be held, one at the Indiana Roof and the other at the Murat Temple, each opening with a grand march led by the drum majors of Purdue, Indiana, Ball State and Indiana State Universities, the four state -supported institutions of higher learning. Each county is to be alloted tickets for these two events on the basis of one for each 1,500 votes or fraction therof, cast for Whitcomb Nov. 5. Additional tickets will be alloted to various state officials, party officials and others. The balls are to be by invitation only and the invitation of tion only and the question of which county goes to which of the two sites will be determined by drawing. Gov-elect and Mrs. Whitcomb plan to attend both events. GOP State Chairman Buena Chany is the inaugural ball chairman, with Frank Millis, Indianapolis, the treasurer, and Mr. and Mrs. Clem Warn and Mr. and Mrs. Frank E. Powell, also of Indianapolis, coordinators. Mr. and Mrs. Chris May, Seymour, head the host committee at the Murat ball, an d Mr. and Mrs. John Fisher, Muncie, the one at the Indiana Roof. Other inaugural committee members include: Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Kotso, Munster; Mr. and Mrs. John Joyce, East Chicago; Mr. and Mrs. Garritt Baker, Gary; outgoing Congressman Charles Halleck, and Mrs. Halleck, Rensselaer; Mr. and Mrs. Jerome McTague, West Lafayette; Mr. and Mrs. O.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (UPI)— An attitude survey of local residents taken by University of Notre Dame researchers showed growing resentment over militant civil rights and anti-war protests, it was reported Saturday. The survey, taken in October, was administered by the Social Science Training and Research Laboratory at Notre Dame. Response to the poll showed that while Negroes admittedly have grievances, there is a majority feeling that civil rights leaders are “trying to push too fast.” Fifty-two per cent felt civil rights leaders are too aggressive and 60 per cent go so far as to say blacks turning to violence “have hurt their

cause.” Seventy per cent felt there is a right to demonstrate, but 77 per cent add to this that police should be given authority to put down violence with any means deemed necessary. There was a hard line against war protesters, with 63 per cent labeling draft card burners as “traitors” and just under half taking the position the federal government should “suppress all demonstrations . . . against American involvement in Vietnam.” Seventy-nine per cent favored a “negotiated” settlement in Vietnam, while 63 per cent would back the use of a mill, tary victory, including massive bombing of North" Vietnam.

“.. .and now,” the host of the couch show says, “will you please welcome Vladimir Tobocknekofsky, who has just written a book called ‘What to Do With That Old Dandruff.’ “You have heard similar words on television. A seedy character appears, sheepish and uncertain, with leather patches on the elbows of his tweed jacket. His book is given a close-up. The author usually sounds as though he had left all his words on the typewriter. He stutters, glances at the ceiling, braids his fingers, and pontificates on the eternal search for an identity. His painful insecurity is transmitted to his audience, which writhes with him. That’s what I’m doing. I’m on a cross-country creep, publicizing my 17th book which— take my word for it—is neither better nor worse than the others. The publishers, Funk and Wagnalls, have a dark dynamo named Mrs. Betty Marks, whose job is to put authors on a literary carrousel, give it a smart spin, and watch them fly off toward the brass ring. I would laugh if my feet didn’t hurt so much. They pulse like transplants. The cities in which I am supposed to inflict my presence are Jersey City; New York; Glean, N.Y.; Buffalo; Philadelphia; Washington; Chicago; Cleveland; San Francisco; Los Angeles; Dallas, Texas. There was a time when an author wrote a book and lapsed into a comfortable coma. No more. The book reviews— critical or laudatory--have become a minor part of writing a best-seller. Television tosses the author’s face into millions of living rooms, and the women, who represent 65% of the book market, look and listen and decide whether that face and those words are worth an investment of $7.95. Some authors enjoy looking down with a condescending glance at the medium. Others are prepared to admit that, without t.v. and radio, the book would probably not get off the pad s Others are defensive, fighting the slightest criticism with oratorical venom. Any book can be legitimately indicted. One could review the New Testament and fault it for reciting the same story under four by-lines. I acknowledge a debt to all who invite me to share their air-time, and, in the same breath, I resent the backbreaking schedule. What follows is a typical day: II A.M.: Autograph party at Pritchard’s Book Shop; 12 noon: Lunch with editors. 2 P.M.: CBS Mike Wallace Show. 3 P.M.: Speaking of Everything, with Howard Cosell; 5:45 P.M.: Newsfront,- at WNDT-TV with Mitchell Krauss; 7 P.M.: dinner with George Blagowidow, publisher, at St. Regis Hotel; 9 P.M.: telephone interview with Owen Leach, KDKA in Pittsburg; 11 P.M.: Barry Gray Show, WMCA; midnight to 2 A.M.: NBC’s Long John Nebel Show. To bed in strange hotel at 3 A.M., up at dawn for an early show with a sniffy female who

reads so many books that she hates them all. Be alert and responsive or she will sink those fangs in your arm. She glances at your wife with an understanding smile. It reads: “We know what he is really like, don’t we?” Be thankful for the few hosts who have actually read the book. The others frame their questions from reading the book jacket. Show more gratitude to those who ask critical questions than those who butter your ego, because the sparks coming from sharp questions sell books. Soon, you leave the packing and unpacking to your wife because the deep fatigue is on you, and she appears to be awake and cheerful. It is part of the game that the same questions will be asked over and over and the writer must pretend that they are new. The only one for which I have now answer is: “Tell me, why did you write this book?” The answer is vanity, but it sounds like confession. Instead, you hear yourself saying: “i have spent five years of my life assembling notes on this story, and I feel that mine is more complete than the others.” This will not sell it; the words might get it on the shelves of the public libraries. The truth is that you thought you could spot all the others two or three years and then write a better, more credible story. The deeper you stir the pot of research, the more facts pop to the surface. Some time before Christmas, we shall be home again with the children, and father will sleep every morning until ten, and wait until dinner time to brag about his triumphant tour... Doggone Clean WELWYN. England (UPI) — When you’re three years old and three puppies start to get spots on their coats, you come to the logical conclusion: wash them off. Which is what Robert Campbell had in mind when he dumped the pups, which belong to a neighbor, into a sink and scrubbed and scrubbed. Results: The spots remained. “But I bet they’re the cleanest Dalmations in England,” said the neighbor, Mrs. Patricia Underwood.
