beginning of the new construc

He said, however, the board
might let all the contracts at

originality, creativity and dig

Republican James Gardnes
told a Republican-sponsored
public meeting at Aberdeen
school last Friday night he saw
no sense in US taxes in the
form of foreign aid going to
countries supplying the North
Vietnamese.
He also denied the statement
of his Democratic opponent
for the Fourth District seat in
Congress—US Rep. Harold D.
Cooley—that he has refused to
reply to Cooley charges. Cool
ey said in an address earlier
this month that Gardner’s crit
icism of American policy in
Viet Nam was irresponsible.
“I’ve asked time and again
for a meeting with Cooley on
campaign issues,” Gardner
told the approximately 400
men, women and children in
the school auditorium. “And
Viet Nam is a campaign issue.”
Gardner said in reference to
foreign aid that Cooley was
the only North Carolina con
gressman to vote for the $3
billion US foreign aid bill.
He also quoted Cooley as
saying Cooley supports the
President’s position in Viet
Nam.
“What is the President’s pos
ition?” Gardner asked his au
dience.
A total of 112,000 American
servicemen were fighting the
war in Viet Nam in 1964, the
year of the Goldwater-John-
son presidential race, Gardner
replied. A total of 341,000 are
fighting now, Gardner contin
ued. “And htere’s talk of in
creasing this commitment to
500,000,” he said.
Referring to foreign aid,
Gardner said that the US has
given $120 billion to 110 coun
tries since 1945.
“Only five,” he said.
