I niilrl Foreign Aid Request Due To Be Slashed Spell Out Needs, Ike Is Urged WASHINGTON (AP) The House Foreign Affairs Committee tackles President Elsenhower's $3,930,000,000 foreign aid request this week and there is no doubt the figure will he trimmed. The only question is whether the committee, in putting the pro gram into legislative form, will make as heavy cuts as Congress made last year. A somewhat similar request last year was pared down by 630 million dollars.

Chairman Thomas E. Morgan D-Pa) told a newsman Sunday Eisenhower could help his cause by spelling out more precisely what U. S. aid he expects will be needed in succeeding years to equip NATO forces with up-to-the-minute weapons. The figure pre- dcnfs proposals for this purpose.

military aid recom- mcndation for the present. He left open the possibility that he will ask for a special supplementary appropriation next fall if the m- ternaiional actuation justifies it. Morgan Mid ne understands the President's desire "to see how world conditions will look then But any uncertainty about the amount to be asked later, he said made it difficult to obtain con- gressional agreement on a mil-tary aid sum now. Committee sources predicted a relatively moderate cut probably 100 million dollars in the original $1,600,000,000 military request. However, fairly firm support appeared to be building up for! one item in Eisenhower's pro-; Body Found; Believed One Of Martins VANCOUVER, (AP) A body found in a Columbia River slough Sunday has been tentatively identified as 11-year-old Susan Martin who vanished mysteriously with her family last Dec.

7. The identification was made from her clothing and a dental examination. Ken Martin, 54, his wife, 48, and their three daughters, Barbara, 14, Virginia, 13, and Susan vanished after leaving their Portland home on an automobile outing for Christmas greens. Law officers here speculate their car plunged off a highway into the Columbia River and that Susan's body floated loose of the wreckage and downstream into a backwater slough. Dr.

A. E. Waterman, the Martin family's dentist, examined the body and said, "all fillings in this girl mouth match Susan's." The body was clad in red and white striped pedal pushers and blue quilted coat. Susan was believed to have been wearing such pedal pushers the day family disappeared. Mrs.

Bud Bauer, who was a camping companion of the Martins, said the coat was similar to one owned by Virginia. The finding of the body is expected to spur the search for the rest of the Martin family. Their baffling disappearance touched off one of the greatest manhunts in Oregon's history. The Martins last were seen on the day they vanished at the up-river town of Cascade Locks, Ore. where Martin purchased a small quantity of gasoline.

overpowering than 'the scent of a belligerent skunk. Compared to it a pungent whiff of garlic is like the fragrance of honeysuckle. As a matter of fact, to approximate the fragrance it would be necessary to compound hydrogen sulphide, asafetida, the aged distillation of rancid butter, and the essence of Albanian garlic. In the confines of a school office, a non-eating ramp-eater would have to be completely devoid of a sense of smell to face the breath of a ramp-eater for more than 60 seconds without passing out. "All I can say," said one authority on "is that Mr.

Weatherby is one brave man. The best thing for him to do if a ramp-eating case conies up is to take to the outdoors and handle the offender where there's a 50 I jcific Coast Sunday.

Food Prices Due To Take Slight Dip WASHINGTON (AP) Consumers will pay a little less for food during the remainder of this spring and in early summer than a earlier, the Agriculture Department predicted Sunday. The prospective lower retail price level will largely reflect heavier supplies, the department said. A report on the national food situation said price reductions would come out of farmers' pock ets. Charges made by processors and distributors will average slightly higher than a year earlier, it said. Indications for the near future, the report said, point to heavier supplies of pork and higher grade beef than a year earlier, but less lower grade beef.

Likewise, more eggs, poultry and lard were forecast. a ramp eater shows up for classes. Back in the days when there were a heap more schools back in the hills than nowadays it was an inflexible rule that any youngster attending class after eating raw ramps had to sit by an open window for the next three or four days. Outside the schoolhouse, that is. Many a school teacher in a one-room schoolhouse was forced to become a ramp-eater out of self-defense when ramp eating time rolled around.

As any ramp-eater will tell you, you don't notice the odor if you eat a bait yourself. It's the only known way of being immune to the smell. And right now Mr. Weatherby isn't about to take on a bunch of raw ramps if he is confronted Road Bill Is Gaining Support WASHINGTON (AP)-Sen. Pat w.x.....

the Public Roads subcommittee, said Sunday he will support new-legislation introduced last week to keep the nation's big highway program on schedule. The bill, introduced by Sen. Jennings Randolph (D-WVa, would suspend for the next two years a pay-as-you-go amendment put into the 1956 Highway Act by Sen. Harry F. Byrd (D-V'a The chief effert of this would be to permit the Bureau of Public Roads to allocate to the statei this lummrr 2'i billion dollars of federal funds for the 41.000-mlIe superhighway network now being built.

Eisenhower administration offi cials have told Congress that un der present law they could not make one penny of the apportionments. McNamara's comment, made in an interview, indicated that Dem, ocrats have decided to take the I route set forth in the Randolph; bill to meet this problem. However, the big question remains: Will President Eisenhower be willing to accept such a measure? If the Byrd amendment is sus pended, the highway trust fund through which the roadbuilding program is financed will be able to dip into the Treasury to make up the deficit now forecast for the year ahead. McNamara said he did not believe the President would accept this solution. Sen.

Francis Case (R-SD, senior Republican on the Public Works Committee, parent of the Roads subcommittee, told a re porter, "I doubt whether any bill which adversely affects the budget will be acceptable to the administration." Case, however, said he was sure some solution would be found to! keep the highway program mov ing ahead this year. Sec. Herter Briefs Dulles WASHINGTON (AP)-SecreUrv of State Christian A.

The Turn To Page Three I With tie coming of the ramp season, Principal Carleton Weath-crby tacked up this notice on the bulletin board: "Those students coming to school after eating ramps will be punished in the office." Thus far, Weathcrby reports, nobody has showed up with the odor of ramps on their breath. However, the ramp season is far from over and there's still a lot of school days left. And chances are some mountain boy will yet put Mr. Weath-erby's ramp-eating ultimatum to a test. Such a possibility conjures up some interesting speculation.

We have an idea Mr. Weathcrby didn't realize what he was letting himself in for when he announced that any ramp-eating student would be punished in his office. Folks familiar with the stink-ingest vegetable known to man figure he had better make the punishment short and fast and see that the door is open and the windows wide open, For the odor of ramps is more Billy Draws Record Bv JOHN PARRIS WAYNESVILLE A bait of ramps is no longer a mountain boy's sure-fire means for getting out of school when the fish are biting. School folks have finally caught on to the stinking ruse. Until recently.

all a mountain schoolboy had to do when he wanted a day off from classes was to gulp down a few mouth fuls of ramps, blow out his breath a couple of times and wait to be sent home by the teacher. He didn't have PARRIS to wait long. But that's all changed now. At least, it's changed here at Waynesvillo High School where a bait of ramps is no longer an out for a feller wanting to take a day off from computing square i roots or struggling with Shakes- pearian phrase.
