Both Local Boards Veto Exemption of ^ |m" nil and" the Lenoir County Board oF Conttmasioneirs ytwtb *d«pt«<d resolutions opposing legislation pending in the Genera! AseetnKb' that would exempt certain indus trial inventories from ad valorem taxes. County Tax Collector Milton Williams told the commissioners that the passage of the law would cost Lenoir County approximately a quarter of, a million dollars per year on the basis of recent listings of such inventories. The bill is being pushed by in dustry hunting groups who claim that similar inventory exemptions have caused a number of plants in recent years to go to Sooth Caro lina rather than to come to North Carolina. *’ .

Hughes, who was hospitalized March IStii for an acute respiratory infection. Hughes U still seriously ill. but he has been removed from the critical Bet, after a turn for the better during the first of this Clay Committee Report Advises Cut Foreign Aid By Senator Sam Ervin The Clay Committee Report re leased 'last >week will have an im pact nn'-this year’s foreign aid appro priation bill. Already the Admin istration is conceding that it can get along xm less than the original $4.9 'billion Tequested in the Bud get. The 'Cl a y Committee, appointed by fhe president, backs foreign aid as an instrument of national pol icy; At the same time it is highly critical of the extent of the pro gram which currently uses U. S. tax dollars to finance projects in ■95 countries. . It also urges less funds be spent for the program: What is yet to be determined is whether or, not the reforms suggested witt^he pitt^rhw ! practice, Over^the years, previous investigations and studies have had little impact on the foreign aid do main. Almost everyone is familiar with foreign aid’s cost to the nation which has reach the $100 billion level since the end of World War II. Repeatedly, it has been stated that we have aided 97 nations of fhe world. But statistics mean little in discussing such a complex prob blem. ; ■EvCn General Clay, with long ex- j -perience in foreign affairs, express ed concern and surprise at the number of countries to which we are giving assistance. He comment ed "last week: “I didn’t realize how far it had spread.” A -report from the Office of Bus iness Economics, Commerce De partment, which ranked aid coun tries through June 30, 1961 shows France has received the largest amount of $9.7 billion and New Calendmiia trails all other nations with "$1 million. In between those extremes we find Morocco, whose King returned last week for more aid, at $183 mil ion, attd Braeil, who signed an ad ditional $398 million pact recently, at $974 million. What concerns most Americans about the fotrign aid program is that when circumstances and rimes have changed, our government has been reluctant to cut these pro grams which have served their purpose. Moreover, having grant ed aid to 97 nations of the world, the precedent has been set to grant it to almost every nation that presents its financial woes to us. itics, time and again, have ited to the disservice foreign aid renders even in the area of foreign affairs. Former Secretary of Commerce Charles Sawyer pointed this opt 'heif$ : “It reduces for the shrewdness, the the imagination, the | the courage re This is brought home when you ■ead the accounts of State visits to his country. The principal item on :he agenda of almost every Chief >f-State visitor to this country inymore is foreign aid. It is paradoxical, too, that some 3f the same advice we now give 3ther nations we do not care to leed ourselves. We admonish othei nations to balance their govern' nental budgets, increase taxes, ami] :ease granting unrealistic subsidies But as Senator Lausche observed n the Senate last week: “What we ire teMrng the people of the world to do — and mow this applies es pecially to Brazil — we are not do ing back^omft.

Due to the failure of a school bond issue in last year’s election and the pressing need for school room space in several of the coun ty’s schools the commissioners have accepted a recommendation from the County. Board of Education that a three-year program, calling for the expenditure of roughly $54, 000 be embarked upon to ease these pressing classroom needs. If the loan from the State Lit erary Fund is approved it will be the initial expenditure in this three-year program. It was the feeling of both boards after consultation with state offi cials that the approval of this $24, 000 loan is likely So that work on the most presing of these class room needs can be as quickly as plans can be prepared and bids received.
