A casualty list of hundreds killed' and wounded in the bit ter fighting against the Viet Cong and the North Vietnamese was released in Washington.

America so far has commit - ted more than 200,000 men to s the struggle against Communist 1 aggression. Do we in Australia realize what- we owe to the United <» States? r It is fashionable in many quart t ers to deride America, to ex aggerate the occasional diplo i matic gaffe, and to scoff at er f' rors of judgment.

But men of war are only one side of the story. America’s Peace Corps, serving in 46 coun tries, now has 15,000 volunteers dedicated to the assistance and guidance of countries in. need. Foreign aid — and let it be jsaid with, pride that Australia is one of the countries, that have never asked American finanriai I aid — cost America 3,244 million dollars last year. The quest into space and nuc lear research are costing the United States billions of dollars.

Mrs. Rivera found the Astor far from homelike. “It’s only for honeymooners and tourists,” she told a report er. “It’s not a place to raise chil dren.” No nearby school. No kitchen. The family has to hunt for cheap restaurants hard to find in the Astor neighborhood. Mrs. Rivera says she cleans her own two rooms because ife makes her feel “a little bit like I’m home.” Her great desire is to get back to a flat such as they had before. The city’s Re location Commission is reported hunting for one.
