Nation Can
Well Afford It
WASHINGTON (IP) Pres
ident Truman asked Con
gress today to invest anoth
er $7,900,000,000 in building
u p strong allies against
communism, and warned
that any cuts in foreign aid
spending would be “foolish
and dangerous.”
In a 8,000-word special message
to the House and Senate, the Pres
ident clashed head-on with econ
omy-minded lawmakers of both
parties who plan to slash upward'
Os $1,000,000,000 Vrom his aid pro
gram. '
“If there is any question about
this amount,” he declared, “it is no
whether it is too large, but whether
It is too small. The funds ere
needed, all of them ...”
TO ADDRESS PEOPLE
Mr. Truman will follow up the
strongly-worded message with a di
rect appeal to the people over al’
radio and television networks at
10:30 p.m. EST.
Aware that Congress is particul
arly reluctant to vote large new
funds for economic aid to Europe,
Mr. Truman broke down his request
into three categories instead of the
usual two.
He asked $5450,000.000 in “direct
military” aid to free nations in
Europe, Asia, Africa, the Near East,
the Pacific and Latin America:

v ‘ ' By LOUIS DEARBORN
Record Staff Writer
Twelve-year-old Merle Silbert, her body still wracked
with pain from inluries received in a wreck that killed
both her parents, left i Dunn Hospital by amublance this
morning to fly “home to Mommy.”
The pretty little girl, who still
doesn't know her parents are dead,
was all excited this morning as they
took 'her away on a stretcher—as
excited and happy as a person '
could be despite her injuries.
EXCITED AND HAPPY
For days, die’s been talking a
bout seeing “Mommy and Daddy”
again. That’s all she can talk -a
bout. She hasn't seen them since
ttye day of the tragic accident which
occurred a mile north of Benson .
Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Char
les Bltoett of the Bronx, New York, <
and a friend. Mrs. Gladys Kakt
sfky, were killed instantly In the ,
wreck.
Merle wqs the only occupant who
came out alive. V i
“She’s going to wish she had died
to ” mused a relative, both sadly
and imblttered.
As to be expected. Merle has been
the object of much attention and
has been a favorite with the nurse*
At the hospital.

All the nurses crowded about
this morning to tell her goodbye.

about flying home to her mother,
