Yemen joined Col. Nasser's

ICANot Switching
To Aid Policy Of

BY the Associated Press

The International Corpora
ton Administration said yes
terday it is not switching to a
"Buy-American" policy in ad-
ministering the multibillion-
dollar foreign aid program.
Its statement, however, left
open the possibility that ICA
might change its position later.
State Department Press Of
f1cer Lincoln White spoke for
ICA after aid-receiving nations
made inquiries. The> Develop
ment Loan Fund had set off
concern in some quarters Mon
day by saying its future loans
would emphasize purchase of
United States goods. The fund
is an aid agency which makes
easy-term loans to help under
developed countries.
Mr.. White said:
"The long-standing policy of
the ICA has been to finance
the purchase of commodities
and equipment for use in its
programs from free-world
sources, rather than to Aimit
such purchases to United States
suppliers.
This policy is, of course,
subject to review at any time. ("
