How Much Federal Aid
Did The Pilgrims Get?
From U. S. News & World Report
THEY WERE IN A Depressed Area. No. one
guaranteed them high prices for anything. Their
only roads and schools were built by themselves. For
security they did their own saving, or starved.
All they had was Character. All they did was
Work. All they wanted was Self Respect.
The sum of those three traits became America.
' But what’s going to be the sum of the traits you
see today — the traits of character, or, rather, lack of
it, that demand more money for less work, put security
above self-respect, pamper self-pitying criminals in
stead of punishing them, give away resources we
desperately need to protect ourselves, listen to weak
lings that want government to take care of them when
they should take care of themselves.
Long years of early-American self-respect and
hard work built America, but the traits you see today
can destroy it in half the time.

Hungarian Question Up
For U. N. Debate
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., UFt—
The United States, in a letter
made public Saturday, asked the
U. N. General Assembly to debate
the Hungarian question.
In so doing, it backed up a
similar request made public Wed
nesday from Sir Leslie Munro of
New Zealand, U. N. Special Rep
resentative on Hungary.
Soviet Delegate Arkady A. Sol
bolev told a reporter Friday
Munro had no legal right to
make such a request. He said “We
will object” when the Assembly’s
21 - nation steering- committee
takes up the matter Monday.
The U. S. move seemed calcu
lated to spike the Soviet objec
tion and lessen the likelihood of
a long procedural debate in the
committee.
WEATHER FORECAST
Cloudy with snow and warm
ing temperatures. Increasing
southerly winds.

Mikoyan Tells
Mexicans U. S. Is
Second-Rater
MEXICO CITY, UP) — Soviet
Deputy Premier Anastas I. Mi
koyan says the Soviet Union is
preparing to increase its space
missile lead over the United States
by launching a rocket to “visit
the sun.”
Mikoyan, the highest Soviet of
ficial ever to appear in a Latin
American country, told a dinner
given in his honor by city offi
cials Friday night that the Soviet
Union has surpassed the United
States both in the scientific and
in economic areas.
“Who gave the United States a
monopoly on occupying first place
in the world?” he demanded in a
shouting, hand-waving speech \
that drew frequent applause and
shouts of “Viva.”
Mikoyan said that when he first
visited America in 1936, “They
were very much ahead, no doubt
about that. But we have over
taken them.”
The Soviet Deputy said he was
not trying to spread Communist
propaganda. “We are not egoists,”
he declared. “We are proud of our
success, as we are of the successes
of other countries.”
Mikoyan, here for a 10-day visit
during which he is expected to
push for more trade with Mexico,
implied that Latin-American
countries no longer have to fol
low U. S. leadership.
“We have surpassed the level
of the United States,” he boasted,
apparently referring to the eco
nomic field.
U. N. Asks Weapons Ban
While Talks Are On
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., UP)
— The U. N. General Assembly
appealed to all countries last
week not to test nuclear weapons
while talks are on for the con
trolled cessation of such tests.
The roll-call vote was 60-1 in
favor of a 24-nation Asian-Afri
can resolution on the subject.
The only “no” came from
France, which plans to set off an
atomic bomb in the Sahara des
ert early next year.

Culture to U. S.
By A. I. GOLDBERG
MOSCOW, UP) — The United
States and the Soviet Union
signed a new, two-year cultural
exchange agreement Satuday that
includes joint projects in peace
ful uses of atomic eenrgy.
It also sets up discussions for'
direct Moscow-Nevy York air
links, provides for radio and TV
program exchanges, and paves fhe
way for the ultimate sending of
the Red Anmy Chorus to the
United States in view of the U. S.
Marine Band playing here.
The Marines are expected to
be here during President Eisen
hower’s visit, it was indicated.
The agreement, second of its
kind, provides for potentially
thousands of Americans and Rus
sians to exchange visits in 1960
and 1961 in art, educational, ag
riculture, industry and science
fields.
Ambassador Llewellyn Thomp
son signed for the United States
in a ceremony at the headquar
ters of the Soviet State Committee
for Cultural Relations with For
eign Countries. Georgi Zhukov,
chairman of the committee, signed
for the Soviet Union.
Both said the agreement of the
past two years worked out well
and the new pact is expected to
fulfill hopes of bettering rela
tions between the two countries.
