O1 LIlG USlGSdCcS WClc disappointed
at certain of the economic COM
mitments.
The chief purpose of the Unit
led States in calling for the meet
ling some three months ago was to
bring home to the Latins the seri-
BUSINESS of the threat which con-
fronts not only this country, but
Iall the nations of the American
world.
They also wanted the vast
Isprawling countries to the South
Iof us to tighten up controls on
Communist movements and activ-
Iities, and, with our help, to
strengthen their military defenses
Ito a point where they would be
able to help guard the vital henli-
sphere sea lanes and the ap-
lproacheS to the strategic Panama
Canal as well as other vulnerable
points of the North and South
American continents.
United on Defense
Above all, we wanted them to
step up production of critically
needed raw materials for the
building up of our vast military
and industrial might. But we
definitely hoped to keep all the
economic measures on. an emer-
Igency basis.
The majority of the Latins, in
Icluding Argentina, which usually
balks on such matters, willingly
went along on most of the military
and defense projects. They agreed
to support the stand taken by the
United Nations against Communist
aggression in Asia, and to give the
Inter American Defense Board
more autonomy in planning
against possible attack. But Mex
Iico. Guatemala and Argentina
made it very plain that their
troops cannot be sent outside of
the hemisphere or even beyond
their own borders without their
specific consent. In fact, all mill
Itary plans made by the board are
subject to the limitations of the
constitutions of the respective
countries.
The chief disappointment of the
Latins resulted from their inabil-
ity to secure pledges of greater
assistance in the matter of long
range economic development in
their respective countries.
Practically every government
below the Rio Grande has been
harping on this for five years, ever
since World War II. They have
not only expressed the feeling that
while pouring out billions in eco
Inonic aid to the European and
other countries, with little or no
expectation of its being repaid, we
have for the most part limited
them to comparatively moderate
loans and credits from the Export
Import Bank which are to be, and
lare being. repaid with interest.
They have all insisted that their
greatest threat from communism
lies in their own internal economic
deficiencies.
Those in the State Department
directly responsible for our rela-
tionS with these nations are not
unaware of the logic of many of
these arguments. But it is not
easy for them to convince other
departments and agencies of the
Government of the weight of
these facts, especially in the pres
ent circumstances.
The department points out that
in any attempt to broaden eco
nomic assistance to the nations
next door, and to step UP exports
of sorely needed agricultural and
industrial machinery to these
countries during the present
emnroancv IT. is necessary tn deal

BYRD REPORT - Treasury
Secretary Snyder and Budget Bu-

with the proposals of the Byrd
Committee on Non Essential Fed
eral Expenditures regarding ways
to curb the increase IN Federal
employment.
The Byrd Committee, noting
that Government employment is
increasing at a rate of more than
1000 new workers a day, recently
proposed that no substantial in
creases n Federal employment be
allowed until the National Secur-
ity Resources Board has found
that the requesting department or
agency is using its manpower to
the fullest and actually needs
more personnel
Also, the Byrd committee pro-
posed that such a finding 'e made
by the NSRE before the appro-
priations committees of Congress
consider any such requests for
personnel increases.
Both Mr.. Snyder and Mr.. Law
ton, while agreeing that every at
tempt should be made to hold
down the number of Federal en-
oloyes, declared the Byrd proposals
would duplicate existing checks on
Government personnel and would
not accomplish much good.

still has been no definite decision
made by top Government officials
as to which Federal units will be
moved permanently to other cities
as part of Washington's decen-
tralization program.
Last Friday, the Senate Public
Works Committee held a secret
session with the Governments top
planners and asked which agen-
cies are slated for out-of- town
