Show WEEKLY REFLEX-DAV- IS NEWS JOURNAL, JULY 8, 1976 Program In recent years the United States has spent over a billion dollars aiding Cuban refugees. THE CUBAN Refugee Program, under the Department of Health, Education and Welfare strangely enough, is thus the largest and costliest refugee assistance effort ever undertaken by the U. S. Government. In recent months controversy has enveloped the effort and its director, charged with political activity. More important, the flow of Cuban refugees has all but dried up though they are still permitted to come. THE U. S. taxpayer is spending close to $100,000,000 a year (most taxpayers prob- ably unaware of this use of their money) to keep the Cuban Refugee Program organization in Miami well heeled.

BORGLUM WAS born March 25, 1871 near Bear went to San Francisco and worked as lithographer and painter.

Many of his massive works are on display around the country, including the head of Lincoln in the rotunda of the Nations Capitol Building.

Full body figures of proportionate size would be that of men about 465 feet tall. With normal vision and clear weather the features are recognizable at a distance of 20 miles. The natural appearance of the eye was created by a remarkable approach to the art of achieving optical allusion. The total area of the eye is a hollowed out depression in which the inside is always darkened by shadow. A shaft of stone was left protruding from the center of the depression with the end out where it can catch the light. This area of light in the center of the shadow provides toe pupil for the eye. THE SITE was chosen for the durability of the granite rock. If toe faces are never subjected to any damage other than the normal erosion from toe elements, their features will remain distinctive for several centuries. The faces were unveiled one by one beginning with that of Washington was which dedicated on July 4, 1930. The outlay was begun under President John Kennedy, then suffering a moral hangover because of the and militarily unsupported CIA effort to overthrow Fidel Castro, with Cubans and other Latins landed on Cuban shores.
