ICA Aide Hits Bios
In Wet Nam Reports

An administration official to-
day accused a newspaperman
of fundamental lack of OBJ
jectivity" in reporting alleged
mistakes in the American aid
program in Wet Nam.
Leonard j. Saccio, deputy
director of the international
Co. operation Administration,
made the statement before a
Senate Foreign Relations sub
committee launching a new in
vestigation of foreign aid in
Southeast Asia.
The probe was prompted by
a six-part series of articles by
Albert M. Colegrove, a reporter
for the Scripps-Howard Syn
dictate. Mr.. Colegrove charged
American foreign aid funds
were being wasted and Amer
lean officials we're being
muzzled.
Mr.. Saccio told the Senate
subcommittee his first reaction
had been to doubt anyone
would believe the reckless
sweeping charges, writing in
such a conspicuously Sensa-
tional vein"
He produced evidence tc
show that ICA encourages
criticism from its. employees
rather than muzzling them ano
he accused Mr.. Cosgrove of
failing to check his facts with
Arthur C. Gardner, director Of
the American Aid Mission in
Wet Nam.
During the 10 days the re-
porter was in Wet Nam, Mr.
Saccio declared, Mr.. Colegrove
never called on the mission

.E||ender Sees
Aid Cut OK
BY the Associated Press

Senator Ellender, Democrat
of Louisiana. said today he
won't be surprised if the Sen
ate agrees this year to most
of the cuts made by the House
in President Eisenhower's for
eign aid money bill.
The Senate Appropriations
Committee, of which Senator
Ellender is a member. will start
hearings on the measure next
Tuesday. They may 60 for as
long as two weeks.
Senator Ellender, a longtime
opponent of overseas spending,
said that sentiment is chang
ing on the Senate side, and
the starry-eyed spenderS can't
count on it to restore the
House cuts like it has done in
previous years."
The foreign aid money bill,
passed by a 279-136 roll-call
vote in the House yesterday.
carries $3,186, 100000 in appro-
priations for this years spend
ing. That is $745 million less
than Mr.. Eisenhower asked
originally, and nearly $400 mil
lion beneath the ceiling pro-
vided in an earlier authorize
ton measure.
Senator Ellender said he will
make a fight to retain a House
amendment designed to froce
out information the admins
trajon wants to withhold on
foreign aid programs.
Mr.. Eisenhower predicted at
his news conference yesterday
the amendment would not be
included in the bill finally en-
acted. The proposal would cut
of foreign aid funds if Con-
gress-or the General Account
ing Oft1ce-Should be denied in
formation it asks on any phase
of the economic assistance pro-
gram. Mr.. Eisenhower called
1T an unconstitutional invasion
on executive powers.
There's strong sentiment for
that amendment in the Sem
ate" Senator Ellender said,
although I know there. will
be a fight to knock it out"
The House cut military arms
aid from the SIG billion EiSen-
hover asked down to $1.3
billion.
Il think we can hold the
military aid appropriation to
the House figure" Senator Ell
lender said. After all, that
was what the Senate originally
voted to authorize.

people of West Berlin"
IF the people of West Berlin
wish to live under capitalism,

Speaks in Ukraine
Mr.. Khrushchev spoke Tues
day at a workers rally in the
Ukraine. He accompanied his
call for top level talks with an
assertion he was sure President
Eisenhower wants peace.
MIR. Eisenhower knows what
war means" said Mr.. Khru-
shchev. During World War II
when he was commander-in-
chief Of the Anglo-American
troops on the Western Front,
Mr.. Eisenhower fulfilled all the
terms of the agreement
with u.s."
The Soviet leader did not
suggest a time limit for wind
ing up the Geneva conference
but said tina: the foreign minis
tiers had already accomplished
positive work" He said the
ministers should make fresh
efforts to search for mutually
acceptable solutions and agree
on what they can agree"
Then let the heads of gov
eminent discuss the most diff
flcult questions of fundamental
Importance" he said.
o Time Limit UnimpOrtant
He repeated previous Soviet
statements that Russia is not
trying to set a deadline for the
Allies to end their occupation
of West Berlin. THE question
of time limits is not of para
mount Importance" he con-
tinued. But he warned that the
Soviet Union will not under
write an agreement perpetual
ing the. occupation regime that
now exists in West Berlin"
Mr.. Khrushchev said the
Russians are prepared to con-
slider any constructive" West
ern proposal. But he coupled
this with another call for 'di-
rect negotiations between East
and West Germany on the is
sue of German reunification, a
key Soviet demand which the
West has steadfaStly rejected.
Mr.. Khrushchev complained
that the American press did not
publish in full his speech at the

Complains About TV
And he complained that his
impromtu debate with Vice
President Nixon in the expert
mental nv studio at the ex-
hibit was broadcast in the
United States before his re-
marks had been fully trans
lated into English.
The video tape recording of
the debate was broadcast by
the three major American tele-
vision networks Saturday night
and Sunday with only minor
editing. The tapped version ran
for about l6 minutes with an
accompanying running trans
lation Of Mr.. Khrushchev's re-
marks.
The .video tape was shown
on Moscow TV on Monday
night with Mr.. Nixon's remarks
translated into Russian. The
tape. ran Is minutes.
|, In both the American and
Russian Showings the inter-
prefers had some difficulty in
keeping up with the rapid-flre
exchanges.
OF his meetings with Mr..
Nixon, Mr.. Khrushchev said,
Il think we had good talk
and to good purpose, that we
explained we'll our respective
viewpoints on many issues"
Warns of West Germany
Mr.. Khrushchev said he told
Mr.. Nixon that the tendencies
toward safeguarding the peace
prevail in all countries" but
warned him the West Germans
might stir up a war between
the United States and the So
Wet Union.
Mr.. Nixon asked: Are you
afraid of the Germans?'" said
Mr.. KhruShchev.
I'VE are not afraid of the
German revenge-seekers and
militaristS, I replied. For a
strong man is not afraid of a
mad dog, yet he does not want
to be bitten by it,"
Mr.. KhruShchev said he told
Mr.. Nixon if West Germany
started a war, "our retaliatory
blows will in a few hours wipe
out West Germany and the
other countries where there are
military bases spearheaded
against the Soviet Union and
The Warsaw Treaty countries"

Filming of Epic Poem
Discussed by Scholar

An American poet and
scholar who devoted four and
a half years to the translation
Of 33.333 lines Of contemporary
Greek epic poetry into English
spoke yesterday of the prob
lens Of putting 1t on Aim.
Kimon Friar was here to
speak on his translation OF
the late Nike Kazantzakes'
work, The Odyssey. A Modern
Sequel. at the opening lecture
of the Library Of Congress
i959-60 Whittall series.
The poem tells Of the further
wanderings Of Homer's hero
after the end Of the Odyssey.
In search of a true God,
Odysseus travels through the
Near East, Africa, and finally
to his death frozen in the ice
Of Antarctica.
Filming this saga without
losing the spiritual theme be-
hind its more spectacular as
poets will be, Mr.. Fair admitted,
a challenge. But. he added. II
like challenge. ] don't mind it."
The 46-year-old translator
was born on an island in the
Sea Of Marmora.
His parents brought him to
the United States at the age Of
3, and he did not return to
Greece until 1916. Then. he
said. II knew I'd come home. ="

his job at the University Of

Never was a similar choice

serves"
The procession was led by
William Luke Marbury OF

Board Of Overseers Of Harvard
University. DR.. Shannon was
teaching at Harvard when he
came to Virginia as professor
Of English in 1856.
The new president succeeds
Colgate w. Darden, jr., former
Governor and former member
Of the House Of Representa-
tives, who has retired from

by the Board of Visitors last
February but DR.. Darden re-
tanned the presidents duties
until the close OF summer

sity did not have a president
until 1904.
DR.. Shannon in his speech
viewed Russia as a threat to
the pursuit of free knowledge
that brought forth the great
universities of Europe, Great
Britain and America.
Clearly. the Soviet Union
has embraced education as a
tool for self-aggrandizement.
The nations of the West can
not refuse the gauntlet. They
require generations of highly
educated men and women to
cope with the completely of
their own civilization, to insure
the preservation of a free So
ciety and to meet the scientific
challenge of barbarianism," he
declared.

The two top university off,

on methods for selecting the

Senator Mock said she be-
lieves that selection of board
members from specific geo.

step toward political control OF

The university administra-
ton was attacked during this
years session Of the Legisla-

Mr.. Mccormack told the COM
mittee he felt the move to in
crease the regents member
ship was prompted by some
persons wanting to serve on the

persons disgruntled over ath-
letics."
He said some critics seem to
feel the athletic program at
the university had been
"watered down" under DR.. FL
kins' administration.
Mr.. Mccormack said there
was mo magic" in the number
of members being set at II.
He said, however, that by
maintaining this size Of the
board, members develop a per-
sonal interest in the operation
OF the university.
