WASHINGTON (AP) -
President Nixon asked
Congress today for a mas-
sive overhaul of the U.S.
foreign aid program and
an increase in military
and economic assistance
abroad.
Key congressmen said
the combined request
would amount to $3.3 bil-
lion for the fiscal year
starting July 1.
“Foreign assistance is
quite clearly in our inter-
est as a nation,” Nixon
said in a special message
outlining his proposed new
aid system.
“We are a people whose
sons have died, and whose
great statesmen have
worked, to build a world
order which insures peace
and prosperity for our-
selves and for other na-
tions," he said.
“We are aware,” the
President said, “that this
world order cannot be sus-

Campfire Girls Invaded
ESTES PARK, Colo. (CDN) — The
Campfire Girls are going strong — but
they’re not all girls.
The years-old, 700,000-member girl's

Some school systems,
Burger said, have deliber-

“Such a policy does
more than simply influ-

wrote for the court. "It
may well promote segre-

school system into the
