Washington When 'the vote
■whs taken .on the foreign add!
authorization bill last week, I
found myself unable to support
4he measure.
R*Y Vote The foreign aid
program contains some worthy
projects fit for support by .the
American taxpayers, it contains
many projects which I cannot
square with sound public policy.
To adequately discuss the meas
ure is impossible in the space
here, but it should be of in
terest to the taxpayers to know
that the authorization contain
ed provisions for such things as
4 the preservation of the temples
of the Egyptians on 'the upper
Ijjile and the guarantee of pri
vate loans to purchasers of
homes in South America. The
inclusion of such projects, and
the enormity of the authoriza
tion in dollars, led me to the
conclusion that there could be
IK) reasonable justification for
supporting the authorizations
bill. I voted against it. Later, j
the Senate will appropriate funds
for foreign aid. I am hopeful 1
that some of these items can be
eliminated.
Realism Not Evident —To me'
it is wholly unrealistic for the
Administration to advocate a
foreign aid bill of over four
billion dollars while at the same
time calling for economy in gov
ernment. I am convinced that
too many borrowed dollars are
being put into the foreign aid
program when the public debt!
is increasing and our domestic
programs are faltering due to
Mack of funds. 1

security program that is realis

occasion 'the band ihas been
highly praised and commended.
Mr. Bray’s resignation follow
ed 'the adoption of a required
course of physical education.
Following his resignation Mr.
Bray had this to say:
“My resignation stems from
the fact that I 'believe the ad
ditional year of physical edu
cation in the 10th grade will
seriously downgrade the music
program. It will, cause sched-|
ule conflicts that will carry]
over into the 11th and 12th.
grades.
“There is nothing personal in
volved. My relations with Mr.
Holmes and Mr. Mayo have been
most cordial. They have coop
erated to the fullest as far as
the band program is concerned.
It is simply a difference of opin
ion as to the eventual effect of
this added required course of
physical education in the cur
riculum.
“A meeting 'of the North Caro
lina Bandmasters Association in
Greensboro on May Bth, at which
I polled the members present
will, I believe substantiate my
opinion. Os 76 members pres
ent, only five were at schools
in which this course -was re
quired in the 10th grade.- Os
these five, four df the-'schools

against communism.
Courage Needed—ls this coun
try feels that it is necessary to
put the foreign aid program on
an ever-expanding and perma
nent basis, then Congress, the
Administration and the taxpay
ers ought to face up to the
reality of the issue. It will cost
more to all of us who pay taxes;
future generations should not be
saddled with 'the debt that the
people and their leaders of to
day are unwilling to access
themselves.
No Theory—As a Senator of
the United States, it is my duty
sincerely and honestly to tackle
the problems that face the peo
ple Whom I have the oppor
tunity to represent in part. Re
quests for more money pour in
from all activities* of govern
ment; defense costs increase
with regularity; education and
other programs to improve the
lot of our country/ demand at
tention. The money requests
are net 'theoretical. 'No public
funds can be expended without
coming from the taxpayers or
from borrowing, and I feel that
President Eisenhower, the Ad
ministration and the Congress
have to Share the responsibility
for talking about economy and
failing to practice it.
The nation will have to make
a very important decision In the
not too distant future. 'As I
see it, the decision is whether or
not we are willing to stapd up
and be counted as willing to
pay now for the benefits so
many are demanding at home
and abroad.
j To spend for meritorious pro
grams is a laudable role of gov
ernment; to -borrow money- to
I carry on these programs as
standard policy is questionable
public policy at least.
j there was no waiver, and the
band program is experiencing a
drop-out of 76% spread over the
10th, 11th and 12th grades be
cause of the scheduling impossi
bilities. Every member present
expressed the opinion, based on
personal experience and obser
vation, that such a schedule re
quirement is seriously damaging
to the band program.
“I have" enjoyed working in
Edenton, and regret the fact that
I feel that I am being ‘pushed
■out’. However, I have no in
tention of remaining to see the
I band 'become the mediocre-sub
] standard organization that it
• must become under this curricu
lum.”

J&aaHngton.iß.Gl.
April 18, 1960
Dear Elder Ayers:
I have your letter asking me about the
standing here of your Congressman Herbert Bonner.
I knew Herbert Bonner when he was a
secretary to Lindsay Warren and for all the years
since he has been a Member of the House of
Representatives. He has so conducted himself since
he has been here that he is now the Chairman of the
. great Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries.
Herbert Bonner is able, honest and industrious. He
has the respect and admiration of all with whom he
has served and is serving now. I consider Herbert
Bonner one nan who has performed an outstanding
service here not only to his district, his state,
but to the whole nation. He is a man of the type
and character who has made himself popular in the
House, a fact which makes him more servicable at all
times. I have enjoyed his friendship and he has
enjoyed mine throughout all the years we have known
each other.
•
With best wishes to you personally, I am
Elder A. B, Ayers
