Capital also faced another turndown by CAB, this time on its petition for a $21.4 million subsidy for 1957 and 1958. Though Capital got off subsidy six years ago, it now wants Government help again, says it cannot stay aloft without a renewed dole. But CAB is not sympathetic...
...Speaker of the House of Representatives, with powers far beyond those of Sam Rayburn in Washington, Laurel exercises a firm control over the rich congressional pork barrel. Last July President Garcia "released" some $10 million of public funds to dole-hungry Nacionalista Congressmen, and he has promised another $60 million.

...relied instead on mere recommendations that physicians and other health workers come first, to be followed by workers in transportation and other essential industries.

...appalling poverty of the average country cure. Dependent upon handouts for food and fuel, he often spends the winters in near-starvation, and it is becoming increasingly common for parish priests to solicit odd jobs in the neighborhood-house-painting, plastering, milking or shoe-repairing-to supplement the meager dole of the church. U.S. Catholic parishes are accustomed to supporting their priests, but the French, whose government paid the priesthood until 1905, have been conditioned to thinking of this as the responsibility of the state and keeping their hands in their pockets...
