...able. At present, such a bill exists. S. 337, which is the tortured infant of the old H. 5940, provides for direct aid with no government influence. To cover instruction expenditures the bill will allocate money to medical schools according to the number of enrolled students. By this outright grant, S. 377 prevents a government agency from interfering with teaching and from bowing to political considerations in general. Another provision sets up an allowance for construction and expansion. The Surgeon General of the U.S. Public Heath Service would determine the allocations, subject to ratification by a Public Health Council. Since...
Yielding a point himself, Rayburn offered a compromise. Instead of an outright gift, the U.S. would lend India $190 million on easy terms to buy the necessary 2,000,000 long tons of grain. The terms would be left up to ECA (probably 35 years to pay at 2½% interest), and India could repay the loan in strategic materials such as monazite (a source of fissionable thorium), jute and manganese...

Kay Walsh, an extremely lovely and disheveled creature in this film, plays Nancy with lustiness and compassion. Miss Walsh, with her face streaked, her hair flying, and her dress torn, retains a beauty that might even surprise and delight Charles Dickens...
...hatches against the long blow. Should they accelerate courses in order to cram as many students into their programs as possible? That, said Yale's President A. Whitney Griswold, would only produce "an all-round lowering of standards and cheapening of products." Most college presidents agreed. What about outright Government subsidies? "We'd rather go around in rags," cried President V. Raymond Edman of Wheaton (111.) College-and most educators agreed with that...
