Foul weather already had delay. brought one Thus was launched historys greatest amphibious invasion along the Normandy beaches cf northern France. And with it came the emotional and gress today to authorize $2.58 billion in foreign aid spending, the smallest request in the history of the overseas assistance program. The requested amount, actually an Increase over the $1.75 billion appropriated last year, almost certainly will be trimmed further by Congress, according to Capitol Hill observers. Nixons plan, Including in the major Innovations foreign aid program, calls for authorization of $2.21 billion in economic assistance and $375 million for military assistance for the year beginning July 1. The economic request was $138 million less than recommended by the previous administration for the same period. The military aid request was unchanged. One of the features of the new request was a proposal for making, rather r than appropriations. If Nixons request were granted by Congress, U.S. officials estimated that the United States would be spending a total of $4.6 billion overseas during the 1970 fiscal year, including U.S. contributions to international development banks, the Peace Corps and the Food lor Peace program. In a message to the House and Senate, Nixon said: In this time of stringent budgetary restraint, we must stimulate private investment and the cooperation of otlier governments to share with us in meeting the most urgent needs of those just beginning to climb the economic ladder. And we must continue to minimize the impact on our balance of payments. This request for foreign economic and military assistance is the lowest proposed since the program began. But it is about $900 million more than was appropriated last year.

Historians already have written that June 6, 1944, was both the end and the beginning for the United States, Britain and their allies. Surely it was the end of nearly five years of defeat, frustration and then buildup. It was the beginning of victory and the first long stride toward the crushing of Adolf Hitler and his Feslung Europa Fortress Europe.

Hidden or indirect costs probably add hundreds of millions to the real expense of the war, although tlie scope of these items is sometimes difficult to assess because of offi cial secrecy. For example, tire American government is doling out millions in economic assistance to reinforce such Vietnam border countries as Thailand and Laos which could sway the balance of power in the area.

In Mossve -PCon- mand to acknowledge a LOS ANGELES (AP) Mayor Sam Yorty, an underdog in Lhe polls, rode a record voter turnout to a third term election victory today over Thomas Bradley, Negro councilman who had thumped him in the primary. Yorty apparently won strong support in the closing days of what was called the bitterest local campaign of modern times. How do the pollsters explain It? One, Don Muchmore, w hose poll for the Las Angeles Times Monday placed Brad-le- y ahead 53 per cent to 36, said: I feel like George Gallup did in 1948. That was the year Harry Truman upset Thomas Dewey, Gallups pick. Muchmore said in a statement there might have been an error Ln the poll, adding: We were dealing with the race issue in this campaign and this is traditionally a difficult area to survey. It would appear in this instance the sample of respondents was inadvertently not a representative cross section of the population, said Muchmore, wbo had conducted 675 interviews. Even though this is our first major error, a complete analysis will be made o determine the exact cause of the discrepancy. Supporters of Bradley said they had lodged a complaint with the state attorney generals office over a candidates . card widely distributed in areas where the citys 15 to20 per cent Negro population lives. They claimed the card said Bradley votes should be made on hole No. 3 of the ballot. If voters did so, they would have voted for Yorty. Bradley, 51, a former police lieutenant who hoped to be come the third Negro mayor of a major U.S. city, refused to concede. He won 42 per cent of the vote to Yortys 26 per cent in the April primary but was beginning nor the end, but the beginning of the end. Hitler had miscalculated not only the intentions of the Allies and their ability to gather the most powerful invasion force in history but their courage and imagination as well. To achieve the first Allied foothold on the European continent, the combined chiefs of staff of the United States and Britain had pulled together in England and in the British ports the greatest aggregation of military force yet conceived. There were more than 5,300 ships and small craft, the largest flotilla of all time. The greatest aerial armada y bat- tle for Hamburger Hill, ending in its capture last Tuesday, was an irresponsible sacrifice of American lives for a false sense of military pride."

Then he made a quiet appeal, asking his supporters to remain calm after a campaign in which he was accused by Yorty of surrounding himself with black militants.
