U. n. Farley Startled
By Warning That i. ),
Bars Cash Handouts
By the Associated Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Aug. 30.-A
sharp warning to underdeveloped
countries that the United States
is not giving handouts just for
fun startled a United Nations con-
ference yesterday. 1t was the
bluntest talk on President Tru-
mans program for aiding unde-
veloped areas yet heard at the
U. N.
John Abbink. a consultant or
the foreign technical assistance
program with the American mis-
sion to the U. NJ, called for sensible
planning. He said one foreign
businessman, not named. was
stupid" for expecting the United
States to buy any products left
over from a proposed American
built industrialization scheme.
Mr.. Abbink spoke at general
meeting of the U. N. Scientific
Conference on the Conservation
and Utilization of Resources. This
conference has heard many speak
ers talk about the underdeveloped
countries and there has been con-
siderable talk in the U. N. corridors
about what these areas can expect
from the United States in the way
Of cash.
Mr.. Abbink said he was startled
at a Havana trade conference to
hear one delegate assert the
United States might assist the
rest of the world to attain eco
nomic equality before planning to
further its own material progress
He said this doctrine of eco
nomic development has been ex-
ploded many times in many coun-
tries "and is even now being
bitterly disproven in unhappy
Britain"
The most difficult single prob
lem which faces leaders in under
developed countries is that o1
convincing their peoples that eco
nomic progress comes from with.
in: That it cannot be imposed
from without, or even greatly ad-
vanced unless there exists a wide
spread desire for national i'm.
provement so strong that th'
necessary temporary sacrifice!
will seem worth while to all whit
will be affected, Mr.. Abbink said
But, he said, few of the coun'
tries are ready for the degree o.
industrialization to which the!
seem to aspire.

president Is Silent
On Report He Plans
Post for Wa||gren

The White House today refused
to comment on reports that Pres
ident Truman had a Federal job
in sight for Mon c. Wallgren,
former Governor of Washington,
whose nomination to be chairman
of the National Security Re-
sources Board was blocked in the
Senate.
Friends of Mr.. Wallgren say he
has a Federal assignment under
consideration, and have specu-
lated on the possibility that the
President might seek once more
to put him at the head OF the
resources board.
White House Press Secretary
Charles G. Ross said today that
President Truman had nothing to
say about the matter.
Congressional sources discount
ed any likelihood that Mr.. Wall
gren could be appointed to the
resources board without Senate
confirmation.
Wallgren Plans to Return.

except temporarily through a re.

Mr.. Wallgren was quoted in ar
Associated Press Dispatch from
Seattle yesterday as saying hi

within a month, perhaps to ac'

The dispatch quoted friends tt

This view was shared by former
Representative Carter Manasco OF
Alabama, who was member OF

Senator Tydings said revision OF

Act also preserved the senatorial
confirmation feature.
He pointed out, however, that
Mr.. Truman could appoint Mr..
Wallgren after Congress recesses.
The latter then could serve in the
$14, 4,000-a-year position until the
Senate returned to act on the
nomination.

TIERS AT ARGO. Greece. Aug. 80
"A small pocket of Communist
guerrillas fought frantically today
to keep open two escape routes
into Albania for their comrades
retreating from Mount Grammos
before Greek army troops.
Planes and artillery of the vic
torious Greek national forces
hammered the horseshoe shaped
guerrilla position which has ar
open end in Greece and is based
on Kamenic, astride the Albanian

The guerrillas were attempting
to hold their ground to allow
mauled rebel units from the cen.

army's mopup operation.
Many Go Into Albania.
The two prongs Of the guerrilla
line are at Prophet Elias Hill or
the south and Steno Ridge on the
north. The open end of the horse
shoe is less than 2 miles across.
A Greek Army communique sale
many Guerrillas already have fll'
tered into Albania. but military
sources did not estimate how many
had escaped. When the big Gram
mos push got under way last week
there were an estimated 1000 tt
5000 rebels in the mountainous
region.
A compilation of communiques
listed 1,040 guerrilla dead and 584
taken prisoner in the Grammos
drive. Army losses were given al
1873 killed and 1.175 wounded. The
army reported capture of 8 artil.

antitank guns, 1858 rifles, 103
mortars and more than 200 ma

American military observers
said the Greek army completed
the Grammos operation far aheac
of schedule. The guerrillas now
have lost the Grammos and the
nearby Vitsi areas and no longer
have an operating base closely at
