THE TEEEE HAUTE STAB, THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 1961. 13 RICHARD ROUDEBUSH The furious debate and controversy over the President's $8.8 billion foreign aid bill dominated the floor of Congress for five days last week. I was on the floor of the House of Representatives almost continually as members took their turns speaking either for or against the program, known officially as the Mutual Security Act of 1961. AVhen my time came on the roll call to cast a vote. I said My vote against foreign aid was based on what I had heard during five days of debate, past knowledge and exhaustive study of the President's proposal.

My chief reasons for voting against foreign aid were: 1. The overwhelming majority of my mail from Indiana indicated disapproval of foreign aid. 2. Our huge foreign aid expenditures have not stayed the tide of communism. 3.

The President's plan calls for aid to Communist countries. 4. Foreign aid has financed competition abroad with which United States industry cannot compete. 5. Many countries have milked us for all they can get and now some of them think we owe them a living.

6. Foreign aid is the ultimate difference between United States solvency and prosperity and the Jnultibillion dollar annual drain our threatened gold reserves. 7. Through foreign aid. we Americans are being asked to finance our own economic destruction 8.

The President's five year of "back-door" spending, -which members of the House 'fortunately reduced to one-year, would in reality not cost S8.8 billion, but nearly S26 billion, and remove all congressional sur- A'ei'lance and restraint. We in the Congress who vigor- opposed the foreign aid 'bill asked repeatedly for its back- 'ers to explain to us just how this lavish foreign aid program to Indonesia, Laos. Iraq, Yugoslavia, Poland. Ethiopia. Morocco, Cuba -and Bolivia has turned them "Jrom the Kremlin.

We received 'no answer. It was also left unexplained during debate just how American interests are served by the aid construction of a million steel mill in which will throw 4,000 American steelworkers, and some too costly; you may come to a moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as Winston ChurchilL la was charged in Washington last week by a member of Congress, -Representative Glenard P. Lipscomb, Republican, California, that the United States taxpayers are unknowingly buying Russian jeeps for Fidel Castro.

Lipscomb says 32 of the vehicles were furnished Cuba by the World Health Organization working with the Pan American Health Organization. Congressman Lipscomb says he will present the facts to the House appropriations committee. In a recent newsletter, the phone number for the Terre Haute District Office in Room 209, Post Office Building, was erroneously listed. The correct number is C-8239. Mayor Has Pull BATH, N.

Y. Frank Wolfanger of Hornell won the mayors' milking title for the fourth consecutive time at the annual Steuben County Pomona Grange dairy festival with 5.8 12,000 other Americans in related industry, out of jobs. Many thoughtful and prudent i congressmen took the floor to state their beliefs that the only possible justification for foreign aid is to further the aims of the American people and fight communism. It was explained that the American economy simply will not support indefinitely the i billions of other peoples around the neither can the Russian economy. Therefore, a strong America, with a sound economy assuring its ability to lead the free world, is the only hope of enslaved, cap- tive nations.

Communism will never be stopped by coexistence, surrender, containment, retreat or accommodation, it was argued, but must eventually be defeated at its poisonous And a weak, bankrupt America, sapped by foreign aid and internal collapse, will never get the job done. i I voted with 139 other con- I gressmen against foreign aid, but we were overwhelmed in the final tally, 287-140. At the same time, the Senate' passed by a vote of 66-24 a foreign aid bill calling for the five-year provision bypassing annual congressional review. House and Senate conferees were to meet to work out a compromise bill. By far the most objectionable feature of the administration's foreign aid bill as passed by the Senate is the five-year provision which will allow the President to dip into the Treasury (backdoor) at will, without congressional authority.

To the President, this is flexibility. To me, it is usurpation. The Constitution says explicitly: "No money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in consequence of Appropriation made by Law." The Constitution was clear then; it is just as clear now. When the people of the Sixth District elected me to represent them in Washington, they expected me to watch over their interests, not the least of which are their tax dollars. They did not send me here 30 that I could turn my responsibilities over to a bureau or the President and go fishing while bureaucrats play with their tax dollars.

With foreign aid the focal topic on Capitol Hill the past! several weeks, I decided to do some research to figure out just what this program means to the taxpayers of the Sixth District. Using official Department of Commerce figures compiled by the Library of Congress. I came up with some startling facts. First of all, the 333.783 residents of the District have been charged a total of S242.422.654 for all NOTICE OF SALE. American lend-lease and foreign we.

ABOUT FOREIGN bill sbout the worst thing we in Congress have ever been confronted with. I have been around Congress for a long time (31 years), but I've never been so deeply worried about my country as I am Howard W. Smith, Democrat, Virginia. ABOUT COMMUNISM "We should never forget that the 1 United States is the No. 1 target for destruction of every Communist Party, every Communist member, every Communist John R.

Pillion, Republican, New York. Financial note: In 1960. it cost a total of $334.7 million to operate the United Nations. Of this amount, the United States paid i $146.2 Russia, $18.2 million. A reminder from Senator Barry Goldwater, Arizona, about the Administra- tion's proposal to seat Communist Outer Mongolia in the UN: "We should remember that Outer Mongolia sent 5,000 troops to fight against the United Nations forces in the Korean War." An encouraging report from Cicero, in Hamilton County, this week announced the formation of a "Survival over Communism" group by students and alumni of Jackson Central High School.

These young people have or- ganized to inform people of the Communist threat and awake people to the realization of what, must be done to combat Com-! munism. I commend these young Americans for their citizenship and patriotic endeavors. More people were hired to do Uncle Sam's work during the first 5 months of the new Ad- ministration than in any com-! parable period since 1953. The current cost: $1.1 billion a month I for 2,435,806 civilian employees drawing Federal paychecks in every quarter of the globe.
