Hearings Predicted
Soon On Authorizing
Foreign Broadcasfs

Legislation formally authorizing
the Voice OF America broadcasts
and other parts of the State De-
'partment's Once Of international
Information and Cultural Affairs
EtOIC1 program was on It's uncer-
tain way through the congressional
mill today.
Representative Mundt, Republic
an, Of South Dakota introduced the
authorizing bill late yesterday. It's
prompt enactment would overcome
one of the objections raised by the
House Appropriations Committee in
turning down request for $31 ,3Sl,-
220 to finance the OTC activities IN
the nscal year starting July l.
State Department ofllcials, how
ever. staked their main hopes on
possible action by the Senate to re-
store the disputed appropriation.
They contend specific authorizing
legislation is not actually necessary
In view OF the departments broad
powers to conduct foreign policy.
A bill similar to the measure In.
troduced by Mr.. Mundt was passed
by the House last session and ap-
proved by the Senate Foreign Rela.
tions Committee but died In the
closing rush Of business. A similar
fate for the Mundt blu is feared.
MIR. Mundt, q member of the
House Foreign Affairs Committee,
said hearings by that group on his
bill may be started next week.
His measure would authorize the
State Department, among other
things, to carry on international
short-wave broadcasts, establish
American information centers and
publish periodicals abroad, arrange
exchange OF students and scientific
and cultural leaders with foreign
countries, and supply American
news to foreign papers and radio
stations unable to obtain regular
commercial services.
Federal Bureau Of Investigation
screening Of all personnel would
be required. The bill also requires
the State Department to encourage
private enterprise to take over
eventually as much Of the program
as possible.
Mr.. Mundt said the objective Is to
authorize "a full-scale program to
sell and interpret the American
ideal and the American concept
wherever 1t is now misunderstood
in foreign lands or Is being misin-
terpreted abroad by foreign propa-
ganda."
America cannot afford to sit idly
by while its unselfish motives and
noble principles are misrepresented
abroad through broadcasts beamed
to uninformed listeners by govern
ments and creeds which depict our
free enterprise system and repre-
sentative form of government as
imperialistic monsters and greedy
prof1teers," Mundt said. Even the
worst falsehoods about America will
come to be believed abroad II moth
ing is presented in refutation."
