Fulbright Backs Foreign Aid Authorization Ahead of Debate
Sen. J. W. Fulbright, chair of the Foreign Relations Committee, urged passage of Johnson's foreign aid authorization as essential to policy. He said the $3.4 billion proposal, $50 million below the president's request, cannot be cut further without harming the program's aims. He contrasted aid debate with space and defense budgets while framing aid as a normal policy instrument alongside diplomacy and military power.

Old Timer Defends Youthful Cleverness and Craft
Westport resident Colin R. Dunn, turning 89 on November 1, says today’s teenagers are as clever as those from seven decades ago. A Scotland native who worked as an electrician in Quincy shipyards and later taught apprentices at Bath Iron Works, Dunn believes steady work beats college for many youths while noting fewer jobs due to automatic machinery. Blindness in one eye and post-surgical limits keep him homebound, yet he still uses a small workshop to craft chairs. He shares memories of shipbuilding, family life, and his long residency in Westport since 1919 after marrying Dorothy Stevenson in 1906.
