Two-Party Politics Needed To Keep Free System Alive

Observers note racial unrest and opposition to civil rights policies push Dixie toward a two party system, which is seen as better for regional and national well being. The article cautions against swinging the pendulum too far in either direction while urging continued two party competition to sustain a free political system.

Butts Libel Verdict Overshadows College Football Era
Southeastern Conference Commissioner Bernie Moore reacts to the 3,060,000 libel judgment won by Wally Butts against the Saturday Evening Post. The court found no conspiracy with Paul Bear Bryant to fix the Georgia Alabama game, but Butts paid a high price given his gambling ties and financial strain. Bryant has filed a similar suit, awaiting hearing. The Post plans an appeal, arguing extensive publicity but facing questions about ethical journalistic practice.

Kennedy seeks foreign aid as Congress balks at high price

A 10 man committee led by Gen Lucius Clay suggested trimming about 500 million from Kennedy's $4.9 billion request, while Kennedy later sent a message to Congress lowering the ask. The House debates aid levels, with weeks of jousting ahead before a final vote.

Congress Hones Foreign Aid to 4.1 Billion Starting Point
The House Foreign Affairs Committee cut Kennedy’s request for foreign aid to 4.1 billion dollars, about 3.8 billion less than he proposed, signaling a trend toward tighter spending. Rep. Otto Passman, a Louisiana Democrat and millionaire, has pushed for greater economy, calling past aid “fouled up and uncontrollable.” Kennedy warned that reductions risk “the heart out of the program” as prior requests were trimmed in 1961 and 1962, even amid protest.
