Senate Approves
$712,900,000
Foreign Aid Bill
WASHINGTON, UP) — The Sen
ate has approved a $712,900,000
foreign aid program after beat
ing back efforts to trim the total
and to ban any further assistance
to Communist Poland and Yugo
slavia. The big measure auth
orizing continued military and
economic help to free nations
was passed by the Senate 51-17,
at the end of a session that lasted
until close to midnight. On final
passage, 26 Republicans and 25
Democrats voted for the bill
while 8 Republicans and 9 Dem
ocrats opposed it.
The Senate approved the total
recommended by its Foreign Re
lations Committee which had cut
President Eisenhower’s request by
229 miilion dollars. The House
version, < passed earlier, is 110
million dollars smaller than the
Senate total.
The .bill now goes to a Senate
House conference to reconcile dif
ferences. Conferees usually split
their money differences roughly
down the middle.
WOMAN FREEZES WHEN
BANK ROBBER ORDERS HER
TO HAND OVER THE MONEY
LOUISVILLE, Ky., UP) — A ban
dit pointed a pistol at bank teller
Mrs. Carleen Mitchell Friday and
told her to fill a paper bag with j
money.
Mrs. Mitchell didn’t budge—
but it wasn’t because she was
stubborn. “I shook all over. I
didn’t move except to shake,”
she said later.
The bank’s manager, Charles
R. Schmitt, gave the man $2,748.
The bandit took a final look at
the quivering Mrs. Mitchell, and
said before departing:
“Get her to the rest room. She
is going to faint.”
Mrs. Mitchell didn’t.

Three New Rahies Cases
Reported By Alaska
Department of Health
JUNEAU—Rabies cases in
Alaska so far this year rose to
four this week with the report
to the Alaska Department of
Health laboratories of three
cases which occurred in late
March and early April. Two of
the cases were dogs and two red
foxes, according to Dr. Harry V.
Gibson, commissioner of health.
The three newly cases occurred
in the lower Kuskokwim area.
The foxes were found at Dilling
ham and Quinhagak and the
dog at Clark’s Point. The first
rabies case confirmed this year
was in Mgjoh in a dog from
Savoonga on St. Lawrence island.
Rabies is known to be constant
ly present in Alaska, Dr. Gibson
said, and dog owners are urged
to keep their animals protected
by vaccination since the only
known means of protecting hu
mans against the disease is
through total immunization of
the dog population. He said
that eradication of stray dogs is
part of the rabies prevention
program.

* SEWARD, lift — An anti-state
hood leader said Saturday that if
Congress is going to put Alaska
into the union he hopes it hap
pens quickly.
O. E. Darling, chairman of the
Alaska Citizens for Common
wealth Committee, made clear in
a statement that he still opposes
statehood for the territory.
“Nevertheless,” he said “if the
Senate cannot see its way clear
to decisively reject the bill, then
I hope it will immediately adopt
it.”
“Alaska’s struggling economy
cannot stand any more of this
imminent spectre of statehood
hovering over it. This punitive
hiatus in our political status is
at the present time holding up
development of our oil industry
and it makes it impossible to
attract venture capital* to develop
our other natural resources.”
Darling said House passage of
the statehood bill indicated that
“a majority of the citizens of the
48 states wish to grant state
hood to Alaska in spite of the
fact than many thousands of re
sponible Alaskans think that it is
an unwise move at this time
based on the ground that it will
impede the development of a
self-sustained economy for Alas
ka.”
