adoption agencies require couples
to have the same religion so the
child will be guaranteed a religious
opportunity.
Kemp said couples should se
cure premartial counseling and
have an understanding not to use
religion as a scapegoat if they are
contemplating an interfaith mar
riage. He said they should keep
the communication line open and
should not pretend not to have a
problem if there is one present.
The speaker said couples should
try to develop family rituals and
functions which the whole family
could share. He added that couples
should remember that all mar
riages depend on love.
KEMP SAID COUPLES should
have a longer courtship if they
are of different faiths in order to
work out the problems. He added
that couples should go into the
marriage with their eyes open
and face the facts. He said they
should have a full and frank dis
cussion of the duties of each.
Couples should determine the
stand that will be taken before
marriage and both should agree to
the stand to prevent disagreement
later. •
THE SPEAKER SAID the prob
lems met in married life which em
brace religion can be answered but
one must remember that the way
in which the problems are faced
can affect the answer. The answers
depend on the emotional maturity
of the individual couple and the
degree of understanding.

STM A Cadets
To Cost State
Less Per Man
Dodson Calls Support Per Cadet
No More Than Any Other Student
By GERRY BROWN
Battalion Associate Editor
Texas Maritime Academy cadets would cost the state
less than if they were ordinary students in any state institu
tion of higher learning, Capt. Bennett M. Dodson, superinten
dent of the TMA, told The Battalion Tuesday.
The cost to the state to support one college student for
nine months is about $900, or $100 a month, he said. During
the 1964-65 school year at Galveston, there will be 100 stu
dents undergoing an eleven-month course of instruction under
present plans. Total funds asked for that year is $109,800, a
rate of less than $100 a month for each student.
THE KEY TO the situation is the fact that the federal
government is contributing to the Maritime Academy pro-

Senior class president Charles

gram, Dodson said. The gov
ernment has promised to
match $75,000 per year of
state funds in addition to as
signing a $10 million ship to
the academy.
Dodson pointed out that for
1963-64, the cost will be more
while getting the school started
on a lesser number of students,
the cost per student at the TMA
to exceed the cost for other A&M
students who study two regular
semesters and a summer session.
THE VALUE OF a maritime
academy to the state of Texas and
the Gulf Coast shipping industry
was stressed by Dodson as being
important in the future efforts
to link Texas with world markets.
With respect to the state ap
propriation of funds for TMA,
Dodson reiterated, ‘I feel very con
fident that we will have no trou

Senate Okays
Loan Shark
Bill Tuesday
AUSTIN — The Texas Sen
ate passed an anti-loan shark bill
Tuesday.
The action, which reversed the
Senate’s stand of a year ago, came
after some of the most heated de
bate of this session on 35 proposed
amendments. Final passage was
on voice vote.
It was the Senate which killed
the loan shark bill by just two
votes in the waning minutes of
the January, 1961 special session
after the measure won House ap
proval.
As the bill, sponsored by Sen.
Bruce Reagan of Corpus Christ!,
went to the House it provided for
regulation of loans up to $1,500
and a set of sliding interest rates.
THE LOWEST rate, on a $1,500
loan, would be 18 per cent annual
ly. The highest rate, on loans of
$100 and less, would be $1 per $5
cash advance.
The major change senators
made in floor debate was slicing
the ceiling on regulated loans from
$3,006 to $1,500.
Reagan told the Senate as de
bate began:
‘I thank we have a good hill
here-one which will go a long w*ay
toward solving the problem and
protecting the people of Texas.”
Sen. Frank Owen, a major op
ponent of the bill, said:
“We have cured the loan shark
evil in this bill, but we’ve done it
by legalizing their action.

Foreign Aid Head
Approves Criticism
Of Own Agency
WASHINGTON UP) — The man
who runs U.S. foreign aid gave a
ringing endorsement Tuesday to
the committee that criticized it.
And, following the line of the
Clay committee’s recommenda
tions, Administrator David Bell of
the Agency for International De
velopment predicted the end of
U. S. economic aid to Greece, Is
rael and Nationalist China in
three to four years; and to Libya,
Saudi Arabia and Venezuela after
that.
As he spoke, further evidence
mounted that the sting of the com
mittee’s report has taken its first
effects.
Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, D-
Minn., said that President Ken
nedy, in his foreign aid message
to Congress next week, may sug
gest a cut in,the $4.9 billion he
asked for foreign aid in his budget
message last January.
Bell gave his endorsement of
the Clay committee in a talk to
the Magazine Publishers Associa
tion. The committee, headed by
retired Gen. Lucius D. Clay, made
public its report to Kennedy last
Saturday.
