Whatever the Individual opinion on Its form, It was properly arrived at, the putillc hid exerted Its Influence on (hi' outcome of a public matter, ahd thu proposal Is now in Ic'i'iRhtlvc hands.

The I acts rejerts the position taken by some persons that "you're either for me or against rue." Ne-lttx-r the press imr tin- putillc should ever allow their influence to be thus shackled. One should accept and exorcise the privilege of clvlni: capable officials the respect ami admiration their achievements have earned, yet reserve the right to disagree with ihiMii on policies.

II Is unfortunate that during the course of a controversy It tends to overshadow the continued capable handling of other public- business. II Is also unfortunate that when an Issue has bveii resolved, the 111 feelings that arose from It often la.st longer than appreciation for overall high standard of achievement. This Is particularly true when strong foe which The has expressed as freely as enters Into the Issue. While this only proves that county policy and editorial analysis Is performed by people, not computers, It does overbalance the effect of a controversy. Yet The Kacts must and will probe and question and challenge-tills Is the obligation of We feel the reporting awl editorial analysis of this Issue fulfilled the- function.

Where this Involved such a strong term as "Insidious," It referred to hidden dangers and not to the probability of by Incumbents. In expressing our opinions, we expect them to be subject to public scrutiny. We recognize that some will disagree, some will nut. We respect honest disagreement, and offer the same media we use In expressing it. Officials, particularly, should nut fear making opinions public; moreover, they are afforded the help of the writing staff in expressing their Ideas.

The Tacts again pledges complete cooperation In all efforts by public officials that are directed toward the public Interest. A more general appraisal at this time would probably determine that Draxorla County ha.s never In the past been operated and administered with greater Integrity and capability. It should lie observed also that the recent salary Issue Is a direct result of the decision of Commissioners Court and other county officials lo take the proposal of salaries to ttio public. In doing so, the officials voluntarily subjected their policy lo public appralsal-an attitude entirely new to the county business. Elected officials should nol be discouraged In this open communication with the public through the news media merely because It was the means for one point of disagreement.

If continued, Ihe public will have reason for disagreement again In the future. Hut the public certainly will not fall to find In this opportunity for expressing Itself an Increased respect for those who provide It. THE WORRY CLINIC THE WORLD TODAY Even proponents split over foreign aid uses By JAMES MARLOW AP News Analyst WASHINGTON (AP)-Do you understand foreign aid well? Sen, J. W. Fulbright doubts it.

Out of the doubt comes a struggle. And out of the struggle will probably come no change at all. The United States has provided at least $105 billion In foreign aid, economic and military, since World War n. There have always been screams about it. Gleeful hatchetmen In Congress have built reputations as economizers at the expense of foreign aid, yearly leading the fight to chop hundreds of millions off the program one president after another asked for.

There have been soul- searchlngs and disputes over whether the whole business should be scrapped. But this year the program is up against one of Its oddest predicaments. The two most powerful men In Congress In foreign af- falrs-Fulbright of Arkansas 'and Rep. Thomas E. Morgan of Pennsylvania, both split over whether the program should be split.

Don't get them wrong. They're both solidly for foreign aid. They just disagree on how to distribute it. This year, like other presidents before him, President Johnson handed Congress his foreign aid program in one big bundle, with economic aid and military assistance all bunched together under a single tent. Fulbright, chairman of the Senate's Foreign Relations Committee, says now as he did last year that the program should be split into two basic programs: One, military assistance, the other, economic help.

No, says Morgan, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, taking the same position now as he did last year. Fulbright has called the foreign aid program a "garbage can" for all kinds of amendments which Congress tacks on but which "have nothing whatever to do with foreign aid." He gave some of his reasons In a Senate speech Thursday. He called the combined program a "conglomeration. to support foreign armies; to Jim Bishop: Reporter Better habits will DAILY CROSSWORD IIVJKJIO TTIII ACROSS nnu'M nTnfmi end most criticism GKuliGK CIUNK I'll.

The trouble with our teenagers Is partly the fact that In past years they have not had a yardstick or Hatlnc Scale by which to check upon their own behavior. So I recently compiled a ''Behavior Test for Teen- Auers" which will let every young person (as well as oldster) determine his own level of emotional maturity.

On this Hating Scale you can check off the things which apply to you. Then you tally your total score of faults or "Demerits" and subtract it from your "Merits" tolal.

And Fulbright threw in this to an almost empty Senate: "li Is no wonder that the congress, the public and perhaps the administration has difficulty in understanding the measure.

Almost everybody can find something in this amalgam to support; almost everybody can find something to oppose. "When we call the roll on final passage, how is a senator or anybody else to know what he Is voting for or what he is voting against?" Fulbright feels so strongly about it he won't lead the fight for the bill in the Senate, a task that usually falls to the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee. Morgan argues that if foreign aid were split, thus letting Congress vote on military and economic aid separately, "Economic aid would suffer." He says "everybody is for military assistance, but the economic program has few friends In Congress." He concedes changes are coming, even to phasing out the program completely. But he didn't say when, and it isn't likely soon, this year or next. Even though other members of Congress are split on the split, there seems to be no intense feeling generally.

The Johnson administration, not wanting to be ambushed by either side, is saying little. It apparently listened to Fulbright's argument and began to prepare this year's program with the senator's position In mind. Then it rewrote it the old "way when Morgan objected. Since Fulbright Is simply stating a position, and not conducting a vendetta, the program should get through this year in the same form as in bygone years. tell your neighbor a CANCER SOCIETY Ever see such a closing act? The grand ballroom of the Fontatnebleau was HUea.

gentlemen wore black ties; the ladles seemed to grow up out of their evening gowns toward their glittering Jewels. Tlw band played nostalgic music and, on the stage, stoou a 30-foot birthday cake lopped by a saucy statue of Regg Van Gleason, the alcoholic snob. At a front table sal Jackie Gleason. It was his birthday. He sat among his friends, tan aiiO handsome and a bit leaner-looking than usual, and It was a big nlgm In his life because the 2,000 people in the ballroom represented the top layer of Florida Gold coast families.

They had adopted him when he took his television show from New York and brought It to Miami Beach. NOW they were ready to give himthelrhearts. He ate well, and belted the champagne and wa ea tho show put on by his confidant and partner, Jack phllbln, and by Ernest Seller, the man who stages the Orange Bowl Extravaganzis. Julie Wilson, In white, sang the love songs to him, and George Jessel came onstage to ask querulously: "What's so Important about a 49th birthday? I have ties older than that." Jimmy Durante cuffed a piano with his hat and sang Inka- dirika-doo ami Don Shoemaker, editor of the Miami Herald, presented an assortment of gifts, Including a street named for Jackie Gleason. The June Taylor girls danced their feet off, and others contributed a laugh, a song, a solemn word.

Jack Haley's memories of Hollywood wore rich, and amusing. In the bedlam backstage, waves of people washed around a man with snowy hair. He had eyes like mirrors, and above the black suit was a Roman collar. This was the Right Reverend Fulton Sheen, auxiliary bishop of New York and director of the society for the propagation of the Faith. He went onstage last.

The band died in mid-note. The guests, most of whom are not of the bishop's faith, got to their leet. The sound was not applause; it was an ovation. Bishop Sheen waited for silence and, when It came, the dark mischievous eyes bathed the audience. "I was backstage," he said In that compelling voice, "looking at all the pretty girls rushing back and forth.

The thought occurred to me that some peop'e do not think that a priest should look at a pretty girl. They misunderstand. One who Is on a perpetual diet Is permitted to study the menu." The audience broke down. If they, had expected piety, or the hard-sell of real estate In Heaven, he had fooled them. "Sometimes," he said, "when I look at the Jackie Gleason show, people say: 'Bishop, why do you look at It every week? It's always the same.

He's funny, yes, but It's a monotonous I began to think about this, and about the sameness of the things all of us love the most. "How about the sun? It always does the same thing at dawn, but God looks at It and murmurs: Tlo It again." In the evening, the galaxies of stars and planets stand in the wings and God smiles and says: 'Come on. Do It A little daisy In a field, struggling for growth, Is alone until Our Heavenly Father looks down at it and says; 'Do It "And so I say to you, Jackie Gleason. 'Do it again. Do It again and again and The bishop paused, and felt the 2,000 guests on the palm of his eloquent hand.

He rubbed them together, as a boy would rub cherished marbles, and he spoke of Gleason's charities. The Great One contributes to all faiths, and the only condition he Imposes is that no one Is permitted to mention them. "But," the bishop said, "I am going to take a little liberty with that promise. I must tell you that Gleason came to me one time and said that he wanted to contribute something to the poorest of the poor. I thought about It and told Jackie that, to my way of thinking, the poorest of the poor were in a leper colony in the far Pacific.

"Jacliis said: 'Give them this. But I don't want them to know where It came I looked at the check. It was a big one. So big, that I took it to the leper colony myself. With it we buUt a clinic, got medicines, acquired more doctors, and set up a commissary.

"Everyone was overcome with happiness. Practically everyone on the Island, lepers and doctors alike, begged to know who the benefactor was. I could not tell them. After all, I had given my word. "When I was ready to leave, an old leper woman came to me.

She had nothing left of her arms but stumps. Her legs were withered to the knees. She crept up and said; tell me who did all i thought it over, and i remembered my promise. '1 looked around like a conspirator, and then leaned down close to the woman's ear. The man who did all I said, 'was Joe the Bishop Sheen bowed and walked offstage.

Ed Sullivan, standing In the wings, shook his head In wondorment! "Ever see a closing act like this?" he said above the thunder of applause. No, I said, I hadn't. Gleason came onstage, and his head hung on his chest "I'm supposed to say something funny," he murmured' "I know I am.
