Egypt Reossures
GEORGE on Aswun

CAIRO, Egypt. April % (P).-
Official Egyptian sources said
today nearly 2 million desert
acres to be reclaimed by the
Aswan high dam will not be
planted in cotton and will not
hurt American cotton growers.
Senator George, Democrat OF
Georgia, chairman of the United
States Senate's Foreign Rela-
tons Committee, said yesterday
in Washington he opposes United
States financial assistance for
the Aswan dam.
Senator George said it would
be very unwise to help one of
the belligerents in an area of
possible conflict (the Middle
EaSt)." He added the area to be
reclaimed could produce enough
cotton to fill up the world mar
ket and wipe out these markets
for the American grower.
Egyptian cotton experts said
the reclaimed land will not be
planted in cotton because:
/. There is no likely world
market for more Egyptian cotton.
2. The land would be unfit for
cotton.
3. The heavy increase in Egyp-
tan population means that Egypt
must increase food production.
The land will be devoted largely
to food crops for home consump-
ton.

Gas Bill Backer

An organization which spent
I$119,725 supporting the contro-
versial natural gas bill in the
past 10 months will be scruti-
nized by the special Senate lobby
committee in its first public
hearing.
The hearing will be held at 2
pm. Tuesday with Maston Nixon
of Corpus Christi, Tex. as the
witness. Mr.. Nixon is head of
the General Gas Committee of
Fort Worth. Tex, and also head
of the Southern Minerals Corp.
The committees reports, filed
with the Secretary of the Senate
under the Federal lobbying law,
listed the committees receipts at
iS1l8,625 and expenditures of
I$119,725 in the last 10 months.
The reports showed contributions
of $500 or more from more than
a score of oil companies. The
largest single contribution listed
was $1,000 from the Continental
Oil Co. of Houston.
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat
Iof Arkansas. chairman of the
investigating committee, said Mr..
Nixon had agreed to turn over
all the organizations records.
While the Senate group is not
ready yet to hold general hear
ingS, Senator Mcclellan said
Tuesdays session was arranged
because Mr.. Nixon wanted to be
heard before leaving on an ex-
tended European trip.

These SURPRISES mean some

grain surplus. amounting to
double the annual production of
wheat in the State. is stored
right here in this State or in
vessels in your harbors.
President Eisenhower and
Secretary Benson have been
hanging this surplus around The
Inecks of the American farmers
for three years now. If they had
wanted to they could have solved
much of the surplus problem in
three ways"
One of these methods. Senator
Kefauver said, could be worked
into our foreign policy.
There are hungry men.

world who would prefer to have
our surplus foods to any num-
Der of tanks we could send

/ I'VE have millions of Ameri-
cans right here who are unem-
ployed, on social security or
otherwise living on extremely
limited incomes" he continued.
They could benefit from a prac-
tical food stamp plan which
worked very well before World
War II. And the school lunch
program can be helpfully ex-
panded.
Last, since we stockpile other
materials for defense purposes,
we can create a strategic re-
serve of non-perishable foods
and f1bers."
The Senator came to Seattle
from Wenatchee, Wash. after a
MONDAY speech in that center
of the Pacific Northwest'S huge
electrical power developments.
There he told a luncheon au-
Idience, the partnership" prin-
ciple for power development was

striking failures.
