RALEIGH ROUNDUP
IRONICAL . . . Id Durham the
Dufce University Ro*d leads to
two of one greatest aMtiKutions m
toe world, toe Duke {Hospital and)
ilnibo umvensity — on tne syroiooi:
o(f healing sad toe other toe sym
bol of knowledge. Located on lids
street and within toe toadows of
these two great institutions is a
sign Id front of a weather beaten
frame house — {Madam so-and
so, HEALER AND ADVISOR!
DIFFERENT ATTITUDE . . . Last
week <we saw two navy enlisted
men alight from a oar on Hi&yway
70 and toe very next ear along
stopped and picked them. up. to toe
past we have observed military
personnel stand for hours trying Ip
eatcfa a ride. The .thought occurred
to us — “A kick on toe shin is
not necessarily fatal, but it will
change toe trend of toougit”
t INITERBSfiaNlG COPY . . . The
on* man we would, like to inter
view iat itihis time would be Batis
ta, the dethroned Cuban dictator.
His views on the present United,
States — Cuban situation would
make real interesting news.
5000 JOBS . . . The report last
week that 5000 additional people
will be added to the State payroll
due mainly as a result of Gover
nor Sanford’s quality education
program, is difficult to compre
hend. It means, among other things
that an additional quarter of a
million dollars annually will be
added to the cost of the state
personnel. This is not a one shot
proposition. These people will be
•with ids from now on, including re
tirement benefits. This is one cost
our children will be paying for
long after we have gone. Let us
hope it proves to be of value to
them. Quantity does not necessar
ily guarantee quality- Usually It
indicates the opposite. Look mag
azine recently had an interesting
article on lack of our ability to
write and to understand what is
written.
According to the article a plumb -
i er wanted to dean some iron pipe.
He wrote a Government agency
asking if he should use hydrochloric
add. The reply ended, “Be advised
that hydrochloric 'add1 is deleterious
to the substance to question.’’ The
plumber writes his ;thanks and
states that he ds odering the add.
He then (receives a special deliv
ery letter ending, “The usage of
named aeid is defimibey contrain
dicated.’’ Again the plumber writes
bis thanks and states he will use
the add as soon as be gets it. The
next day he received a telegram:
“Don’t use it. It eats the Hell
out of pipe!’’
IT'S A JOKE, SON . .. Matt Ray

SENATOR
SAM ERVIN
* SAYS *
• rv ■■■ •-■■■-: ; - s ■ ™ -
The Senate has been holding
frequent night sessions to com
plete work on (two pieces of legisla
tion which are the Defense De
partment budget request and the
Foreign Assistance Act of I960..
The $47 bfllkm (Defense Department
request was {presented by Senator
Willis Robertson, Chairman of the
Senate Subcommittee on Defense
Appropriations.
My coJieague from Virginia, a
long-titae foe of eontravagainice iq
government spending made an el
oquent and moving' idea' for the
largest peace-time military ap
propriation. He said! the money
was needed because “our Nation
fanes the greatest crisis in its his
tory, and no man dares tb place
a price tag upon survival.’’
I ihaive taken a similar position
as a member of the Senate Armed
Services Committee. Under this
bill funds are allocated for an ov
er-all U. S. armed forces strength
of 2,743,000. This ibreakes down to
1,006,00 men far the Army, 657,
00 for the Naivy, 190,000 for the
Marines, and 888,000 for the Air
Force.
In addition to effecting a sub
stantial improvement in our mil
itary farce levels .these funds will
provide a stockpile of weapons,
and increase our overall defense
readiness.
FOREIGN AID
1 think it is well far me to re
state my views on the Foreign As
sistance Act of 1961, the sp-tcaUed
foreign aid MU, which is currently
being considered Iby the Senate.
1 believe that it is ; unwise to at
tempt to pour tax financed loans,
grants, and assistance programs
into every nation around the
world. •
We. have conducted these pro
grams in some 60 or more nations
some straight talk. Didn’t help,
though.

I favor granting militariy aid to

I ■also favor economic aid to those
nations failing within the category

I would also favor a reasonable

such aid would help such aatfoas
