agreement on principles OF for
eton aid reached by the Herter
select Committee on Foreign Aid
in preparation OF its preliminary
report. (Story on page H.
1t must be emphasized that these
are in the nature of provisional con-
clusions which may be subject tc
revision as committee studies
proceed and are subjected to further
checks.
AS previously reported, the COM
mittee is in agreement on the fol-
lowing:
l. Emergency sid presents the
same problems as does any genera
European aid program and the
Congress should bear this In mino
in setting up any emergency aio
program.
2. Should Congress, through its
responsible legislative committees
find that as practical matter /,
will not be able to set in motion
other machinery Of foreign aid by
the end of the special session, the
committee recommends that action
should be taken prior to that time
to authorize funds for the purchase
of supplies through the Export I'm
port Bank and the Commodity
Credit Corporation for any aid fol
France and italy found necessary te
assist those countries through
March 81.
Not Temporary Emergency.
3. The emergency, though aggra
waited this year by crop failure, is
not temporary one. This fact must
be faced and, If remedial action is
to be taken, plans must be formu-
lated accordingly.
The committee wishes to report
further agreement on the following
points:
4. Additional governmental ma
chinery for foreign aid Shoulc be
limited to that necessary to p:ovide
efficient coordination of existing
Government agencies and to fill
gaps of authorities which may exist
The administration of any foreign
aid program requires the setting up
of a new authority in a corporate
form over which congressional con-
troll would be maintained by the
regular review Of its funds and oper-
alton. This authority should have q
bipartisan board of directors ap-
pointed by the President ano COLI
firmed by the Senate. The corpor-
alton should
(a Have direction of the purchas-
ing of food stuffs, fuel and ferti-
lizers;
% Screen all requests for foreign
aid;
(c) Exercise whatever legal con-
trolls are deemed necessary for pro-
tecting the economy of the United
States and for the equitable aid

supplies shipped abroad, particularly
to see that the aid reaches those for
whom it is intended.
Id This corporation should be au-
thorized to enter into arrangements
with countries in need of foreign aid
under which food, fuel and fertilizer
would be made available to them
and to determine the form of con-
sideration to be obtained on the
basis of it's best estimate of the
recipient country's capacity to pay

ton and Development and the Ex-
port Import Bank can be utilized to

meet the remaining genuine require
ments for foreign aid in capital
goods. equipment and raw materials.
The Export Import Bank should be
strengthened and provided with
such additional resources as may
be necessary to carry out these
functions.
In order to protect the economy
of the United States and to be ef-
fective in accomplishing its obiec-
tives, the corporation should take
into account in the handling of any
foreign aid programs the following
points:
(a) The recipient cour tries should
make vigorous efforts, individually
and jointly, to increase the. produc-
ton of food and materials needed
to meet not only their essentia! in
ternal needs but the NEEDS Gf ether
countries. Increased local production
to assure decreasing deficits should
be sought, so as to limit the require
ments from abroad to minimum
consistent with sound economic
balance.
(b) The recipient countries should,
through mutual help and co-opera-
ton, facilitate the economic ir ter
change of goods and services amcng
themselves. provide effective distri-
button and use of their own re-
sources, as we'll as of the resources
received from outside, ano work to-
ward the elimination of exchange
controls, quota restrictions and
other obstacles to trade. (I'he prog
ress already made by Belgium, the
Netherlands and Luxembourg to-
ward a customs union seems to the
committee a step in the right direc-
tion.)
Other Nations Should Aid.
(cl Certain countries other than
the United States which are in q
position to supplement program OF
aid, which have the same incentive
as we to do so and which enjoy ac-
cess to United States supplies, should
be expected to cooperate each in
relation to its respective capacity.
Cd Every encouragement should be
given and every facility extended to
private initiative to assume, as con-
ditions permit, the activities which
have devolved on governments IN
the present crisis.
(e, The recipient countries should
adopt fiscal, financial and monetary
programs designed to arrest inf1a-
ton, to correct existing monetary
weaknesses, to accomplish stabiliza-
ton of exchanges and generally to
restore confidence in their cur
rencies.
6. Any programs formulated by
the corporation should coordinate
policies through foreign aid coun-
Gil presided over by the Secretary of
State, and including all the top Of
ficials of government agencies con-
cerned with matters relating to for
eign aid.
7. The committee is agreed that
there should be retention of the
existing controls as necessary to pro-
tect our domestic economy In a
period of serious shortages. In parti-
cular, export controls are needed to
prevent an excessive flow of these
short items abroad.
8. No estimates for the capitaliza-
ton OF the new authority recon-
mended can be justified until avail
abilities of commodities in short
supply both in the United States
and in the world can be more care
fully studied.

Bill on Senate Calendar.
Neither Chairmen Dirksen or
Buck of the House and Senate Dis
trict Committees were available to-
day for comment on the joint hear
ing plan but both heretofore have
urged this form of joint action be-
tween the two District groups when
ever possible.
Late in the last session, the Sem
ate District Committee approved
and sent to the Senate for action a
revised edition of the McCarran
bill to create a Federal City charter
commission. 1t failed of action but
remains on the Senate calendar.
This did not outline a suffrage or
District reorganization plan but
would name commission OF citi-
zens to draft such proposals.
The House Subcommittee report
recommends an elected council OF
II with an appointive manager to
have full administrative control
over IL departments into which
most of the present District agen-
cies would be placed. 1t also calls
for an elected Board of Public Edu-
cation to supplant the appointed
school and library boards.

Support for District suffrage was
voiced last night by Senator Nc
Grath of Rhode Island, Demo-
cratic National Committee chair
man, who is a member of the Sem
ate District Committee.
Speaking on the radio program

Senator said:
II think the residents of the
District Of Columbia have the right
to vote. I intend to retain my post
on the District Committee. and to
do all in my power to see that they
obtain that right" He did not refer
specifically to either the McCarran
bill, or the Auchincloss report.

CAUDILL SPEAKS
AT HI-Y MEETING
Model Session Demonstrate
ed Last Night In Recrea-
ton Center

The meaning of the Hi-Y and
it's relation to the other clubs of
the community was explained by
Russell Caudill, YMCA boys work
secretary, to the Hi-Y's and Tri-
Hi-Y's at a model meeting in the
Recreation Center last night.
The model meeting, engineered
by Cpl. James Green, was present
ed to the Hi-Y's by senior members
to demonstrate the manner con-
Quoting an ideal meeting.
After the meeting Mr.. Caudill
stated that the Advisory Council
meeting will be held next Tuesday
at 8 p. m. in the YMCA.
New officers will be elected by
the end of this semester so they
will take office the beginning of the
second semester, it was slated.
The cast last night consisted of
Corporal Green, engineer of the
model; Dorothy Helms, president;
Mr.. Caudill; Sgt. Cary burden, adj
visor; Eugene Ensley, vice-presi-
dent; Allen Lanier, secretary;
Catherine LeGwin, treasurer; Rich

ceeded as he did in seeing the
whole among the parts, in up
holding the grand purpose of the
coalition against all special pur-
poses, and in emerging from it
with the respect, the confidence,
and the affection of those whom
he had to oppose.
The fame of Marshall has
spread outward to the people at
large from those men best able to
know what he did and to judge
him. 1t is no exaggeration to say
that his reputation is highest
among the men who know the
most about him. To the patience
and the firmness which are neces-
sary in negotiation, he brought
also lucidity, and the ability to
judge fairly, and perspective, and
the capacity for systematic and
objective thought, and the habit
of organized and disciplined ac-
ton, and a singular disinterested-
ness, and immunity from fear and
personal ambition.
With Marshall at the State De-
partment, with Eisenhower the
Chief of Staff, the country can
now feel confident that its policy
and its power will be in balance.
This is always important. In the
present condition of the world it
is essential.
For the effect of the war was to
bring about a convulsive change in
the distribution of power through
out the world. 1t has brought about
the disappearance for the time
being of two great powers - Ger
many and Japan - a weakening of
Europe as a factor in the world,
a breaking down of the authority
of all the empires that have main
tanned law and order in most of
Asia and Africa, the disunity and
division of China, and an immense
and spectacular expansion of the
power and influence of Russia and
of the United States. The problem
of the peace is not now to nego-
tate the details of separate
treaties with the enemy states, but
how to achieve an equilibrium,
temporary to begin with but cap
able of becoming permanent,
among the victors.
This is a problem which cannot
be solved by a formula of agree
ment, by the negotiation of a dip
lomatic text. The method of the
solution must in the nature of the
thing be an operation conducted
over a long period and in accord
ance with a strategic conception
of the balance of power. General
Marshall is peculiarly qualified to
conduct that operation. For it is
the continuation of the operation
of which he was the central and
war.
The sincerest tribute which the
country can pay to Mr.. Byrnes is

BROOKLYN, Aug. 23.-The Brook
lyn Dodgers nipped the Cincinnati
Reds, 8-5, today to maintain their
six-game lead over the st. Louis
Cardinals, but the victory may prove
to be a costly one for the Brooks.
Ed Stanky and Peewee Reese, the
Dodgers star keystone combination,
both suffered spike wounds during
the hard fought game by hard-run-

The Reds. apparently incensed by
the knee injury suffered by Pitcher

Brooklyn's Pete Reiser, came at the
Dodgers with spikes flying.
Stanky was spiked over the left
kneecap by Tom Tatum in the first
inning. Outflelder Carl Furillo also
was spiked going into third, but
stayed in the game. Reese was
gashed by Bert Haas in the ninth
and limped off the field with severe
wound over his left instep.
The Dodgers sewed up the game
in the very first inning, scoring five
times on as many hits off Johnny
Wander Nicer.
Behind this opening inning cush-

his ninth victory. allowing II hits.
