Touring Senators’
Views Differ on
U.S. Foreign Aid
TOKYO, W—Two Democratic
senators, winding up world tours,
left for home on the same plane
yesterday, one criticizing, the
other praising'the U.S. foreign aid
program.
Senators Estes Kefauver and
Aplen Ellender of Louisiana said
their surprise meeting at the air
port was the first time they had
met on their globe-circling trips
that included visits to Russia.
“Our economic aid has been of
great value,” Kefauver said.
But Ellender was critical: “I’m
coming back next year to check
up on four places where we are
overdoing huge expenditures: in
Thailand, Indochina, Formosa and
Korea,”
Ellender, who returned from
South Korea yesterday, as did Ke
fauver, complained that the U.S.
is “teaching democracy and prac
ticing socialism in a country like
Korea.”
He objected that all develop
ments under Korea’s ecopomic aid
program are operated by the gov
ernment rather than private busi
ness.
Kefauver repeated statements
that economic aid should be main
tained in Southeast Asia even at
the cost of lowered military aid.
Kefauver, while praising econ
omic assistance, said the recipient
countries “should not get in the
habit of making their permanent
budget on the basis of what we
send them. They certainly ought
to get on a self-sustaining basis.”
Kefauver plans to leave the
flight in Anchorage and spend
nearly two days in Fairbanks,
where speeches are scheduled.
“I think it’s a shame Alaska and
Hawaii don’t have statehood yet,”
he said. “They are going to be
come states eventually. Why not
get the agitation over with?”

Your children visit a new world each week
Each Thursday, teacher turns a knob and
the class enters a new world—a world
many are visiting for the first time via the
Standard School Broadcast.
Since 1928, this program has introduced
man’s musical hertiage to Western chil
dren. Now playing for its second genera
tion, the Standard School Broadcast is
probably the biggest “classroom” in history.
It has an audience of nearly 1,500,000 listen
ers throughout the West, Alaska and Hawaii
... students in 54,000 classrooms and adult
listeners at home.
They hear a symphony orchestra, a dra
matic cast, choral groups and guest artists.
Standard provides Teacher’s Manuals as
program listening guides.
Goal of the School Broadcast is to help listen
ers gain an absorbing new interest in music,
and—through music—a broader knowledge
and understanding of the world around them.
We suggest that you listen in at home to
enjoy the world’s best music and to gain one
more link with your childrens’ interests.
TUNE IN every Thursday... check your
newspapers for time and station.
