The House Foreign Affairs Committee has taken a .swipe at Prime Minister Castro by rejecting a $350,000 fund for economiq aid to Cuba. It did so by approving an amendment to the foreign aid bill saying no further assistance should go to Cuba unless the President determines it is in the national hemispheric interest. ' The foreign aid law already gives the President authority to hold up assistance to any country. But official Washington is not agreed whether It would be helpful If Cuba were singled out.

Not only, " his Voice, but also his fine personality ill a pleasant "fee countenance-wmissed, by hundreds of people whom he has served these many years. Alvin Keddington resigned recently and was honorably released, along with other faithful members of long standing, to give way so younger singers can have the glorious experience that was so richly his. Fifty years ago he sang in the White House for William Howard Taft, President of the United States. He has served his church, his God and his fellowmen in this choir almost steadily for that period of time. His missionary friends of the California LDS Mission will be first to notice that their friend is not seated in the second row of the Tabernacle Choir. As a small child, I remember Alvin Kedding- ton, a young missionary in California, singing his way into the hearts of men everywhere. He sang on concert tour through the mission, with his president, the late Joseph E. Robinson, whose lyric tenor voice blended beautifully pith his..
