SUNFED is the proposed Special United Nations Fund for Economic Development a new UN agency, to be managed mainly by Socialists and Communists from both sides of the Iron Curtain, and to deal out billions of dollars in helping under -developed countries get themselves more machines and better crops in a hurry.

J. F. Franz, Hasbrouck Heights, SUNFED has met with so much OPPOSITION in the United States that a lot of do-gooders and world-savers have apparently given up hope of this country's ever joining it if the UN should set it up. One big reason for this opposition is the unofficial estimate that SUNFED in the course of 10 years would take about $35 billion out of the U. S.

Unless we're much mistaken, most of our do-gooders will shortly be ballyhooing the Millikan -Rostow N. fliprht mechanic: "How a person feels about retirement should be the only qualification.

That's exactly the trouble in Ireland today.

England has forced partition on Eire. On Dec. 14, 1918, an election was held in which all Ireland participated under British law and whi! the British Army occupied the country. The result was overwhelmingly in favor of rational independence. But Britain refused to accept the voice of the Irish people, and the British Parliament in 1920 passed the act dividing Ireland into two parts.

BLACK NORTH. WHAT GOES UP Richmond: The saying that everthing that goes up must come down is not always true. Prices have been going up for a long time; what's keeping them up? Maybe Messrs.

Essentially, the Millikan -Rostow thing is just an- other GIVEAWAY PROGRAM on a grand scale. A good deal is said in the book about extending long-term loans to half-developed nations. But a good deal is also said, in much quieter tones, about "grants" to really backward countries "grants" being do-gooder language for gifts. We're warned in the book that we must attach no strings to these loans or grants. We must give up any expectation of gratitude, to begin with.

There must be no objec- Ask No Questions tions voiced to loaning or Just Give and Give countries. We're not to hope, much less suggest, that the countries receiving our help will gradually go free-enterprise. As for buying friends or allies, perish the thought. We're even, according to Millikan and Rostow, to invite the Red Slave Empire to take part in the plan Soviet Russia by putting up capital, and backward countries like Red China by accepting some of the loans or grants.

BIG DUNK DAY Manhattan: Sure, why doesn't our Government bring all the world's refugees over here? Just tell them to start living in New York City; well find nice places for them.

MATTER OF INTEREST Manhattan: I just received return of my $100 security on an apartment I vacated. The landlord had my money for five years without interest.
