NEW AID APPROACH PROPOSED

Proponents of the plan see these advantages in
it:
l. 1t would appeal to Congress more than
simple "give-away" aid program for Europe
2. It would have healthy psychological effect
in Europe, converting handout into something con-
Structive.
3. 1t would be a stable beginning for long
range foreign economic policy for the United States
and Western Europe, which several administration
officials now believe to be urgently needed
4. 1t might have healthful effect on Egypt.
condition for Egypt's participation in the plan
might be swift clearance of the Suez Canal and a
satisfactory settlement of the disputed waterway
administration ISSUE If Egypt were to see other
Arab states benefitting from the new aid program
there would be pressure on President Canal Abde
Nasser to qualify his nation.
See Need for Economic Aid
Supporters of the counterpart-fund idea start
with the proposition that any long term Middle East
settlement satisfactory to the West almost certainly
must be linked with expanded economic aid for
nations in the area.
The administration hopes that Arab nations
can be persuaded to accept the existence of Israel
IN their midst If they are given prospects for steady
economic development. The free worlds principal
appeal to Near Eastern nations its capability of
providing aid. which most Arab states would prefer
to avoid taking from the Soviet Union
Generators of the counterpart plan think
1t could be quickly expanded into global economic
aid program sponsored jointly by the United States
and other advanced West European nations.

proposal to convert Western Europe's oil
drought and dollar shortage into the beginnings
OF joint United States-West European economic
aid program for the Middle East has been submitted
to high administration officials
Some influential members of the administration
are said to be impressed with the idea.
1t would call for West European nations to con-
tribute in their own currencieS to revolving Near
East-aid fund in amounts equivalent to whatever
dollar help they might get from the United States
to pay for Western Hemisphere oil.
The counterpart fund thus created would be
administered comparatively by the United States
and the West European contributors.
Sketehed in Brood Outline
Only the broad outlines of the plan have been
sketched. No dollar values have been attached
Some officials feel, in fact that beyond the Inter-
national Monetary Fund credits available and the
possibility of Export-Import Bank assistance, there
purchases here
The counterpart idea implies American strings
to its aid And for Europe to accept such strings
the money would have to be offered as grants rather
than low-interest loans, in the opinion of some
Washington embassy officials interviewed
Europe's capability to contribute to the fund in
nondolar currencies is not in doubt Countries
there have been buying oil with their own cur
rencieS Their problem is to raise scarce dollars to
pay for American oil.
At the beginning, the fund might be used to help

SIGNS OF A SHIFT
By FRED THEROUX

There is increasing evidence in
recent weeks that the United States
is moving toward the substitution
of carefully planned and detailed
foreign policy for the heretofore
prevailing flexible" technique
pursued by the State Department.
The talks this week between
Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal
Nehru and President Eisenhower
here are expected to add weight
to the conviction among observers
that the United States is working
toward a strong. positive policy
toward world affairs.
Such development is viewed as
the almost inevitable result Of the
practical breakdown Of the alliance
Of the Big Three-the United
States. Britain and France-since
the disastrous attack on Egypt. The
failure Of British and French mill
tary Intervention at Suez has thrust
the United States into a position Of
great influence and greater re-
sponsibility. the whole bolstered by
a greatly enhanced moral standing
for America in the eyes Of the
world.
Signs Of a significant shift in the
Nations approach to world prob
lens are visible in ID the increased
personal role being taken In foreign
affairs by President Eisenhower;
90 the similarly widened activity
Of Vice President Nixon; t3) the
replacement in the State Depart
ment Of Herbert Hoover. IT., by the
internationalist minded Gov.
Christian A. Herter. ~ the
vigorous leadership being provided
by the American delegation in the
United Nations in the Egyptian and
Hungarian crises.
Con Policy Be Firm3
Some officials close to the inner
councils Of Americas foreign affairs
argue that there can be no real,
firm foreign policy. in the tradi-
tional sense Of the phrase, these
days. The world is spinning too fast,
they contend. for deliberate. eau
tious. intricate planning. Rather
are We compelled to map out. in a
broad. general outline. q pattern Of
desirabtlities. Of sweeping alma.

neutrality and choose our side?
Still third factor, of rapidly in
creasing importance, facing our
policymakers is the future of inter-
national action in resolving inter-
national problems. The United Ma
tons has gained great stature by
its so-far effective steps toward a
stable peace in Egypt. Much, Of
course, remains to be done before
the nations Of the world can look
upon the u. NJ as a determining
force for settling international
quabbles. But the beginning has
been made, and the potentiaIities
are immense.
What. then, should the attitude
Of the United States be toward an
authoritative U. N. whose policies,
at least in a balance power
sense, may well be decided by the
votes Of the ''neutralist" world2
The Afro-Asian bloc, as OF today,
Yields a tremendous influence with
in the U N. councils. Would the
United States. subscribing TO the
international-action approach to
the keeping Of the peace, be willing
TO abide by decisions Of the U. ~.
which might well be contrary 70
immediate American interests?
Three Possibilities
Today's confused and strife-torn
world appears to present three
possibilities for the American policy
OF the future Our top diplomats,
faced with the dsy-by day imple-
mentation OF whatever our policy
may be. reduce the prospects like
this:
. An indefinite continuation Of
the present atmosphere Of tension.
rivalry. suspicion and innate hos
tility:
. A third world war. the show
down. ending the cold war and
perhaps also ending the world as
We have known Ii.
. A genuine, workable peace. based
on a "modus viyendi" arrived at
either deliberately. as through a
iIigh-level conference. or inevitably.
through mutual realization Of the
suicidal result Of war
The frst possibility Is generally
looked upon as most likely 70 pre-
yail.

HEY DO THE CHORES
What Teocher-Aide Trials Have Shown

They are paid $12 day, compared
to beginning teachers $40. The
teachers are all experienced. They
are getting $500 bonus for their
part in the experiment.
The Aides Job
The aides are officially not per-
mitted to teach. At least one of
them has sometimes drilled fourth
graders in arithmetic, however.

student. she also works with pupils
in drawing and ceramics. Her
main responsibilities are collecting
money. keeping records, helping to
correct papers, supervising children
at lunch, in the library and on the
playground. and tending to class
room odd jobs, such as putting up
posters.
This aides teacher feels she has
been freed from much bothersome
routine. She feels she knows her
present Al pupils as we'll as her
30 of last year, but does not
yet know how well they have pro-
crossed under the present setup. She
would rather have this setup than
80 pupils and no aide. Her princi-
pal said the experiment has been
aided by the fact that the schools
pupils are economically privileged
She agreed with Supt. Norris that
the aide is a stop-gap. She said
the plan could not work except
with an exceptional teacher. She
also said she still believes best re-
suits are achieved in a class of 80.
In Bay City. Mich. a city Of 55,-
900, the aide experiment began
four years ago and has gone farther.
1t Is under way In some IS schools.
Glasses range from IS to SIS pupils.
Aides have been permitted to share
in some actual teaching. They re-
ceive two hours weekly Of in-service
teacher training. The experimenters.
who are being guided by q teach
ers' college. also are endeavoring to
make some test comparisons be-
