People have written to me
from time to time reporting
what their Congressman said
when petitioned by the home
folks to reduce the size of the
Federal budget and cut taxes.
A standard reply from the Con
gressmen whose records show
an uninterrupted series of
votes for spending programs
to “aid” everything under the
sun, goes like this: “It isn’t
as simple as it seems. You
tell me where you would cut
the budget.” Since the budget
is voluminous and is not seen
by one citizen out of a million,
the Congressman's strategy is
City Permits
Building and repair permits
issued by the City during the

usually effective. Only a few
citizens are well enough in
formed to accept such a chal
lenge.
Since there are so few in
stances where results of
“foreign aid” have been worth
the cost and so many glaring
instances where they haven’t,
this is a good area to focus
the taxpayers’ spotlight. For
instance, in the foreign aid
program proposed by the Ad
ministration for the fiscal year
beginning July 1, there were
these items: $917 million in
military assistance, $2,469 mil
lion in economic aid, $1,617
million in “Food For Peace”
funds, and $490 million for
“other purposes.” The total is
not a mere $3.4 billion as men
tioned in most news dis
patches; the total is $5.5 billion.
Billions For Leftist Dictators
There have been instances of
effective foreign aid, but in
the massive amounts that have
been poured out over the globe
in the last 20 years much of
the spending has worked
against United States interests,
astounding amounts of money
have been grossly wasted, and
billions have gone directly in
to the hands of dictators who
subsequently have been shown
to be working with the Com
munists. Nkrumah in Ghana
and Sukarno in Indonesia are
prime examples.
Ignoring the fact / that
Nkrumah identified himself as
a “Marxist,” the U. S. helped
establish him as President of
Ghana in 1957 and poured $159
million of our money into his
coffers. Now banished from his
country, reports say he has
many millions in personal
funds hidden in foreign banks.
Sukarno received nearly $2
billion of our “foreign aid”
after we’d used our prestige to
install him in a nation he and
his leftwing rabble had virtual
ly seized from the Netherlands.
It took a popular revolt of the

This year there will be many
four-year-old Americans ring
ing bells on July Fourth, who
will grow up believing that
this was always the custom.
Actually it was, from the first
Independence Day till about a
century ago when the sounds
of peace were drowned out by
the noise of war, and the day
became celebrated only with
firecrackers and rockets.
Writing a book called The
Seasons of America Past a
few years ago, the author un
earthed the story about In
dependence Day bell-ringing,
and he mentioned that “it
seems with firecrackers disap
pearing we might well revive
that early American custom.”
The idea quickly took hold
and, supported by organizations
and churches and newspapers,
it reached millions of people.
In 1963 it was passed in Wash
ington as Senate Concurrent
Resolution 25, requesting that
all American bells, public and
private, church, school, fire,
college and town bells ring
simultaneously at 2 p.m. East
ern Daylight Time on July
Fourth. Some places now ring
bells for two minutes, others
for four minutes, along with
many radio, TV programs, and
even public loudspeakers in
parks, race-tracks, ball games
and on ships at sea.
For the past three years the
“Bells on Independence Day”
project has been included in
Governors’ Fourth of July
Proclapiations, and this holi
day which was losing much of
its solemn significance, was re
kindled into a day of bells
ringing out America’s birthday,
just as it was in the beginning.
It has been said that a thing
must be done four times be
fore it becomes a habit, so this
fourth year, for the revival of
the early American custom of
ringing bells on Independence
Day, is a most important one.
Perhaps there will be no great
bells within reach of your
hearing, perhaps you will seem
to be the only one ringing a
small handbell; but you will
know that all over the nation
in every state, millions of bells
will be ringing out the mes
sage of democracy and liberty.
A safer and less noisy pas
time for children, 1st them
ring bells on this day, pro
claiming it America’s Birthday.
And wherever we are, let us
remember this greatest of
American days with joy and
reverence.

Rat Famine Needed
When Prime Minister Indria
Gandhi of India visited Presi
dent Johnson recently he re
assured her that India would
receive several million addi
tional tons of American wheat
out of the “Food For Peace”
funds in our “foregn aid” out
lay. We have been sending mil
lions of tons of wheat to India
in recent years to “help com
bat famine.” An Associated
Press dispatch from New
Delhi, by the AP’s foreign
correspondent, Joe McGowan,
Jr., reports as follows on the
“famine.”
“The millions of tons of
wheat the United States sends
to India this year will not
equal the amount devoured by
India’s unchecked hordes of
rats. A health ministry report
estimates India has 2.4 billion
rats—five for each of the coun
try’s 48 Omillion persons. It
estimates the rats eat more
than 26 million tons of cereal
grain each year. The grain lost
to rats would not only relieve
the present threat of famine,
but would transform India in
to a nation probably able to
feeds itself.
Money Down Rat Holes
“During 1964, when India had
a record crop of 88 million tons
of grain, she still had to im
port 6.7 million tons of surplus
wheat from the U. S. The in
fluential Times of India, in
praising the United States for
its offer of emergency ship
ments of wheat, criticized auth
orities at home for taking steps
to halt what it called ‘colossal
national waste’ . . . One stumb
ling block is the reluctance of
many Indians to kill any living
thing . . . Some people catch
rats in their home by using a
cagelike device, then turn the
rats loose in the fields.”
India has received $4.7 billion
of U. S. “foreign aid” in addi
tion to emergency shipments of
our wheat. Isn’t it about time
we quit spending billions, and
send rat poison, along with an
ultimatum declaring that until
India rids itself of rats, at least
to the extent of halting the
astounding waste of foodstuff,
no further “aid” will be sent?
Production figures indicate In
dia could feed herself. Our
wheat, in a sense, has been for
the rats, the survival of 2.4 bil
lion of them while people
starve. Here is an answer to
the Congressman’s question:

CANDY STILL PLEASES ...
Although “visions of sugarplums” may dance in this little lady’s
head, she doesn’t know that the gift her young friend is teasing her
with is the same gift her great-grandfather probably wooed her
great-grandmother
with in the early part
of rhis century.
The famous Whit
man’s Sampler dates
back to 1912, when the
new president of the
company ,WalterSharp,
conceived the idea of
selling “boxed” candy,
which could be sold in
drug stores across the
country. Actually,
Whitman had been sell
ing candy to Main Line
Philadelphians for 70
years, but Mr. Sharp
felt the candies were
good enough to be sold
nationally. So, he came
up with the modem in
novation of selling a
packaged assortment in
a printed box.
When it was time to
rint the top of the
x, he remembered an
old embroidered sam
pler in his home that
had been worked by
his grandmother. He
thought that the linen
background and the de
lightful cross stitch de
signs of birds, animals,
flowers and the little
red house would make
a beautiful candy box
—and that the name
Sampler would be
fitting.
Another touch of this man’s ge
nius was the indexed lid of the Sam
pler. It was his idea to show where
honey nougats or mocha cremes
are placed in the box by a diagram
on the lid. Through the years it
has saved millions of pieces of
chocolate from being poked or
squeezed to solve the mystery of
the center inside the chocolate.
6S
The familiar cross-stitched top
ped box soon became the best-
known and largest-selling box of
candy in the world. Today, Whit
man’s Sampler is almost like an
American institution. For what
gift delight iryoce—from eight
to eighty—more than a suipx
box of candy?
