The Peace Corps has asked Congress to double its appropriation so
it can send twice as many volunteers to Africa and Latin America.
Corps Director Sargeant Shriver said the foreign demand for Peace
Corpsmen “far exceeds our capacity to meet it.” If Congress grants
his request for $108 million Shriver said 13,000 volunteers would be
sent abroad by the end of 1964.

During a House Armed Services Committee meeting, Rep. William
H. Bates (R-Mass.) announced that he had a question about one of
the bills under consideration. Before he could phrase his query, Com-
mittee Counsel John R. Blandford interrupted to say he had “antici-
pated” the question and was prepared to provide the desired informa-
tion. In that case, Mr. Bates said, “there’s no point in my stating it.”
“Good,” said Chairman Carl Vinson (D-Ga.). Just “put the answer
in the record,” he told Mr. Blanford. As the laughter trickled away,
Mr. Bates commented that he would like the record to show that he,
also, had “anticipated” the answer.

Senator Richard B. Russell (D-Ga.) chairman of the Senate Armed
Forces Committee predicted that the Senate would complete action
on the military pay bill—affecting nearly two million persons on active
duty and in other uniformed federal services—before the civil rights
bill comes up for action.
Editorial
It Behooves Us All To
Keep America Beautiful
The citizenry of America is organizing an all-out elim-
ination of a two-footed, two-armed, two-eyed, too careless
bug know as the litter bug.
To the military man or woman the fight against the
litter-bug isn’t new. From basic training and “boot” camp
to the decks of proud and mighty aircraft carriers, clean-
up and pick-up details are regular duty. The war against
the litter-bug on some military establishments usually costs
a littering officer or enlisted man much mental pain and
anguish despite the fact that military littering in most
cases is accidental. It doesn’t pay the serviceman or woman
to be forgetful.
A national anti-littering organization is marking its
tenth anniversary this year with a slogan “KEEP AMERICA
BEAUTIFUL.”
President John F. Kennedy has said in connection with
this, “I don’t think there is anything that could occupy our
attention with more distinction than trying to preserve
for those who come after us this beautiful country which
we have inherited.”
The United States Department of Commerce is co-
operating with the National Conference to Keep America
Beautiful; to preserve and improve America’s scenic and
man-made beauty through a continuing program of public
education; and to instill in every citizen a feeling of pride
and responsibility for the appearance of his country.
The military man knows the value of cleanliness and,
knowing that the United States is very much his country,
also adopts the anti-littering slogan; in fact takes the next
step which is “KEEP AMERICA FREE AND CLEAN.”

A Primer
On Communism
(Sixty-first of a series of ques-
tions and answers from A Primer
on Communism by George W.
Cronyn, edited by Howard Oiseth.
Reprinted by AFPS with the pub-
lisher’s permission.)
QUESTION—Is the Iron Cur-
tain the same in other Communist
countries as in the Soviet Union?
ANSWER—The intent is the
same—to cut off millions of peo-
ple in Communist countries out-
side the USSR from contact with
the free world. But since the
satellite countries are close to,
or have common frontiers with
the countries of Western Europe,
the barriers are harder to main-
tain intact.
Furthermore, radio broadcasts
from the West are eagerly listened
to by the captive peoples, despite
severe penalties for doing so. The
Soviet Government goes to great
expense and effort to “jam” these
broadcasts. (On Feb. 3, 1960, the
Soviet Government agreed to stop
jamming British broadcasts in the
Russian language to the USSR.
Jamming of American broadcasts
continued.)

WE DO INFLUENCE OTHERS
We are so related to each other that we are continually
leaving impressions on those with whom we come in con-
tact. It seems easier to do harm rather than good to other
lives. There is a quality in each of us that makes our life
accept more readily and retain more permanently touches
of evil than those of goodness. Therefore, guided by our
own lives, we must be careful and watchful as we walk
amid other lives, lest by some word, look, act or influence
of ours, we hurt them irreparably.
There is a story told about Francis of Assisi. He stepped
into the cloisters of his monastery and invited a young
fellow monk to go into town and preach. The two went off,
conversing as they walked along the main streets, around
the back alleys, to the outskirts of town, and eventually
returned to the monastery gate. The young man spoke
up and asked when they were going to preach. Francis
replied, “We have been preaching; we were preaching while
we were walking. We have been seen and watched; our
behavior has been noticed; so we have delivered a morning
sermon. It is no use to walk anywhere to preach, unless
we preach as we walk.”
Many of the best sermons are “sermons without words.”
In our carefulness and watchfulness, as we walk through
life, we might be mindful of the fact that we do influence
people with whom we come in contact.
Quote of the Week
“No nation by itself can maintain
its own security . . .”—President John
F. Kennedy, in a speech to West Ger-
mans during his European tour.
