...That Is, Affirmative." First the President had a word to say about the annual fund campaign of the Red Cross, including the comment that "I could profitably use the whole half hour if I would try to express what I really believe about it." There was a nervous laugh in the room and a whispered "Please don't." After three minutes on the Red Cross, Ike spent a minute talking about the visit of Italy's President Giovanni Gronchi and Signora Gronchi. Then he wanted "to mention two bills that are before Congress," the farm program...
Accordingly, Hall scheduled the "Salute to Ike" dinners around the country last month (TIME, Jan. 30) and raked in a neat $4,000,000 profit, which he split with the 48 state committees-an unprecedented campaign fund to have on hand nine months before Election Day.

With an initial capital of $250 million, contributed by governments and private sources, this fund would provide grants and liberal long-term loans to nations planning basic development projects like roads, dams, hospitals, and schools. In many countries, some of these projects are underway now with substantial outside aid, but there is an increasing desire on the part of have-not nations to repay loans or grants in the future. SUNFED has remained unfed because of the refusal of some Western...

Harris's comments backed the idea for a $400 million Federal scholarship fund and other proposals made in a speech given in Chicago this week by Earl J. McGrath, president of the University of Kansas. McGrath had also noted that a 50 per cent increase in tuitions would bring $1 billion more per year to the nation's schools...
