Efforts 10 Build
World Trade
CongrutuIutes Bonk,
Monetary Fund for
Cooperative Spirit

PTeSlQenC EISENHOWER To-Day
pledged full support for interna-
tional efforts aimed at "the
quickening of trade" the de-
velopment of resources and the
stabilization of world currencies.
In a message of welcome to
the governors of the 55-nation
World Bank and International
Monetary Fund, the President
acclaimed the agencies as "out-
standing examples Of co-opera-
tive endeavor and achievement"
The bank and the fund opened
their eighth annual meeting here
today.
The White House greeting was
sent for reading to the assembled
finance ministers and ambaSSa-
doris by Secretary of the Treas
ury Humphrey, governor for
both the bank and fund.
Praises Agency Aims.
Gen. Eisenhower called the
lending agencies institutions
through which the member
countries worked together to
help achieve a better life for
their peoples" He congratu-
lated them on their progress and
declared:
The United States fully SUD-
ports the great detectives of
these two institutions: The es-
tanlishment and maintenance of
sound money, the quickening of
trade, and the development of
natural resources"
Mohamed Ali, finance minister
OF PakiStan and chairman of the
JOINT boards who is presiding
over the four-day meeting, told
the delegates that the UNDER
developed nations again are fall
ing blind in the quest for eco
nomic betterment.
Whereas Western Europe has
shown substantial recovery. the
non-industrial areas have suf-
fered from the recent decline in
demand and prices for raw ma
terials, Mr.. Ali said.
Recalls April Speech.
The Pakistan minister recalled
Gen. Eisenhower's proposal in
April that if a just peace could
be written and military spend
ing reduced. the United States
would ask its people to join other
nations in devoting the saving
to building a fund to help the
under-developed countries.
Secretary Humphrey re-
sponded with a statement which
seemed intended to allay fears
voiced by some foreign observers
that a reduction in American de-
tense spending might start a re-
cession with world wide reper-
cuSSionS.
I'VE do not need to fear the
consequences of peace" Mr..
Humphrey asserted.
"a real peace would merely
permit US to use more of our re-
sources constructively to the
betterment of world conditions
rather than extending them on
defense measures.
One of the prime purposes of
the Eisenhower administration,
the secretary said, is to restore
sound domestice finance in our
economy. We shall pursue this
end by all the necessary means. I"
Cites Recent Action.
Secretary Humphrey cited this
country's Customs Simplification
Act and the extension of the Re-
ciprocal Trade Agreements Act
by the recent Congress as evi-
dence of this Governments con-
cern over the maintenance of
world trade.
Eugene R. Black, president of
the World Bank and former New
York investment banker, said
that as long as United States
tariff barriers remain high, Eu-
rope will have difficulty in bal
ancing its foreign trade accounts,

Use Of Andrews Base
ForAirlinesPr Protested
Al Forestvi||e Farley

The proposed use of Andrews
Air Force Base for civilian as
well as military aircraft was op-
posed vigorously last night by 70
citizens attending a meeting
called by the Forestville (Md.)
Citizens Association.
Leroy Pumphrey, Prince
Georges delegate to the Mary
land Legislature, called the base
a gigantic rathole down which
to pour hundreds of millions of
dollars"
Mr.. Pumphrey, describing him
self as a native Of the area. who
used to put out rabbit traps"
in the countryside, told the resi-
dents he would cooperate in any
way he could if they decide to
fight commercialization of An
drewS.
II am not so keen about the
so-called progress of man." he
said. "It was safer in the horse
and-buggy days"
Complaints Described.
Fred SpinkS, acting president
of the Forestville group, said the
meeting was called because of
very strong sentiment against
the proposal" to use Andrews as
a port for passenger airplaneS.
In the past county RESIDENT have
often complained about the noise
and hazards of low-fying planes
approaching or leaving the base.
Shortly before last nights
meeting, commercial airline ex-
ecutives, concerned over delay
in eliminating National Airport'S
congestion, announced they will
meet May 81 at the United
States Chamber of Commerce
here. Civil Aeronautics Admin
iStration officials will sit in on
the sessions.
Other speakers included State
Senator John Raymond Fletcher,
former Maryland Congressman
Lansdale G. SasScer and the new
Mayor of Morningside, Md,
H. w. ShugartS.
Cite Opposition in Burke.
Several Of the speakers cited
the successful opposition of
Burke (Va) residents to a pro-
posed airport site in their COM
munity.
But Mr.. sasscer said the
Burke proposal need not be con-
Sidered finally defeated. He also
pointed out that Baltimores
Friendship Airport might be
used to relieve the traffic load at
National Airport.
The Rev. Benjamin J. Ridgely,
rector of Epiphany Church, said
the use Of Andrews for COM
mercial planes would be a great
hazard" He recommended ask
ing airline representatives to
state their position to COM
munity residents.
The Rev. Thomas H. Baker,
pastor of the Forestville Meth
0ciiSt Church, declared that ''one,
human life is worth more than
all the auports in the world.
There should be more people
here; we need organization,
leadership"

closer to the air base. would

He said that at a meeting Of

The meeting ended as a spe-
