President Signs
$3.7 Billion Bill
For Foreign Aid
WASHINGTON, Oft—President
Eisenhower has signed a bill sup
plying $3,706,000,000 to 54 nations
for* the next year to reinforce
their armed services and econ
omies in the cold war with Com
munism.
But the measure, signed yester
day, contains two features the
administration found objection
able during the congressional fight
on foregin aid.
Most important, the amount of
money was $1,093,405,000 less
than the President wanted, a cut
Eisenhower maintained would
mean American security and free
world partnership “will be seri
ously impaired.”
The other stipulation fought
unsuccessfully by the administra
tion stops further arms aid to
Communist Yugoslavia. This was
inserted by senators led by mem
bers of Eisenhower's party, GOP
Leader Knowland and Bridges.
Yugoslavia, however, still can
obtain military equipment on or
der, plus future material for
maintenance and spare parts.
There is also a provision allow
ing Yugoslavia $15 million in eco
nomic aid.

REMEMBER TO GIVE
FRESH WATER TO DOG

plenty of fresh water to drink—
especially in the summer time—
warns the Gaines Dog Research
Center, New York.
Water should be put out for the
dog every morning.
The dog that is kept tied up,
especially, is entirely dependent
on his owner for his drinking
water, says the Center, empha
sizing that it is one need that
should never be neglected.

fine shape.”

so far as the forthcoming presi
dential campaign is' concerned

just as much as he would have
without this attack.”
Snyder was alluding to the sur
gery Eisenhower underwent June

the small intestine.
At his news conference today
Eisenhower said he is feeling
good but not as well as he did a
year ago. He added he has no
doubt he would be able to carry

NO DIKE HERO, HE
EUREKA, Calif. Ml—Four-year
old Jackie England took the lock

r WASHINGTON, MV—The Unit
ed States is developing various
types of atomic and hydrogen
weapons based on “new princi
ples” and is expanding its plants
to be ready to turn them out in
quantity.
This was disclosed yesterday by
the Atomic Energy Commission
in its semi-annual report to Con
gress covering the six months
ended June 30. During this per
iod, the AEC said, there was
“progress ... in every principal
aspect of the nation’s atomic en
ergy program.”
The AEC disclosed also that
this nation has now become “the
free world’s leading producer of
uranium ore,” having taken the
production lead from another
country during the last six
months. The AEC declined to say
which country, but presumably it
was Canada or the Belgian Congo.
As for weapons, the AEC said
its two weapons research labora
tories—one at Los Alamos, N.M.,
and the other at Livermore, Calif.
—were "working on new princi
ples” and that, as a result, “the
United States 'family of weapons
in various stages of research, de
velopment, and production engi
neering, is increasing rapidly.
At another point, the AEC said:
“The emphasis in the military
application program during the
last six months was upon research
and development related to ex
panding the categories of nuclear
weapons, including those intended
primarily for defense.”
Presumably, “defense” weapons
would be primarily anti-aircraft
missiles and possibly naval mines.

THE WATER TEST
By VERA C. SIEGWART
( To Betty )
There are many time-absorbing problems
In the simple act of living in Nome.
High on the list is a tank for water.
Before you call any house home.
In Nome this is most pertinent,
For water is not a random thing.
It isn’t used with abandon, as though
It flowed from a free-rushing spring.
Well, is a deep subject, they say,
And this would seem most logical.
At least, the need for water won’t allow
Your economy to become stodgical.
0
But Friendship is really the big thing
I wish to illustrate hhre,
When you come to feel at home in Nome
And have a friend that’s dear.
When you have molded such an amity.
You’re really on the right path
When your friend smiles benevolently on you
And invites you in—for a bath !
Mrs. Siegwart whose poems and verse have frequently
brightened our pages, moved to Fairbanks yesterday.
Nixon Still Acceptable
To Eisenhower
As Running Mate
WASHINGTON, (if)—President
Eisenhower said today Vice Pres
ident Nixort is perfectly accept
able to him but he is not going to
foreclose Republican convention
action on some other possible vice
presidential candidate.
Eisenhower declined at a news
conference to state any perfer
ence for a vice presidential nom
inee. He said he himself has not
been renominated and he is not
going beyond what he already has
said about Nixon as a member of
the administration team.
Eisenhower said there can be
no doubt about his satisfaction
with Nixon as a running mate.
He declined specifically to say
whether Gov. Christian A .Herter
of Massachusetts would be ac
ceptable for second place on the
ticket.
Harold E. Stassen, Eisenhower’s
disarmament aide, contends an
Eisenhower-Herter ticket would
be 6 percent stronger in Novem
ber than an Eisenhower-Nixon
ticket.
