A number Of Democratic

Peace Strategy
BY FRANCES LIDE

Representative Chester
Bowles, Democrat of Con-
necticut, warned today that
foreign policy as a campaign
issue readily lends itself to
political demogoguery and
deliberate confusion.
But he told a group of
women Democratic leaders
that the party must "cut
through the fog" to show
that mistakes have been
made and to demonstrate the
need for fresh leadership in
world affairs.
Mr.. Bowles spoke at the
first Of 16 Strategy for

by the Democratic National
Committees Office of Wom-
ems Activities from now un-
til October "a.
Mrs. Kathryn Stone. CO.

"counter-act" current head
lines on the prices wives of
the two presidential candi-
dates pay for their clothes.

more important things" she
said.
Mr.. Bowles also indirectly
touched on the current en-
phaSis given to the wives of
presidential candidates when
he said he meant mo dis

said he felt it was significant
that the best thing the Re-

W. r. MurshuII's
Brother Soughto as
Heir to $439,0O0

If a brother of the late Will
liam r. Marshall, real estate
broker, can be found, he is due
to receive an estate estimated
at more than 5000, it was
indicated yesterday in papers
filed at District Court.
william MARSHALL, according
to papers filed in the Register
Of Wills office at the court,
died in Doctors Hospital Febru-
airy 5 at the age Of. 80.
Mr.. Marshall, a bachelor, left
no will. The brother, Henry
Marshall, believed to be some
where in Canada, is the sole
heir, if living, lawyers say. If
he is not living, his children
would be next in line, according
to Thomas Morton Cuttings, at
torney.
Mr.. Cuttings filed a petition
asking the court to name him
administrator of the estate. The
petition said Mr.. Marshall had
not had any contact with his
brother for more than 80 years.
According to the petition,
William Marshall was a native
Of Quebec, but had been a resi-
dent of the District since 1904.
His office was at 929 New York

Cuban Cadets
Costs Revealed
BY the Associated Press

Six Cuban cadets being
trained at the Corpus Christi
Naval Air Station in Texas are
costing American taxpayers
SPAS, 900 this year. That figures
out to more than SAL 900 a
cadet.
Last year, $543,000 in Cuban
military aid was spent to train
the six cadets and other Cuban
military personnel and to buy
some equipment. The equip
ment did not include weapons
and ammunition.
Another $1,089, 900 spent last
year on the Dominican Re-
public, went for training am
munition required by a Do
minician vessel during training
exercises with the United States
Fleet" and for equipment and
spare parts for ships.
Lincoln White, State Depart
ment press officer, listed these
expenditures yesterday for
newsmen. A recent Defense De-
partment report included the
military aid allotment to Cuba.
Mr.. White said he wanted to
emphasize that no inference
should be drawn that the
United States was sending arms
and ammunition to the Domini-
can Republic and Cuba in
violation of its own policy of
banning arms shipments into
the Caribbean area.
Senator Morse, Democrat of
Oregon, told the Senate yester-
day that military aid to Latin
American nations apparently
has been increased in what he
called a fragrant violation of
the Mutual Security Act.
Senator Morse said Congress
last year specifically provided
that military aid funds to
Latin American nations should
not be increased. He said he
had been led to believe that
military aid to Cuba had
ceased in March. 1858, and to
the Dominican Republic about
the same time.

program has served a highly
useful purpose.
But it said the non-military
aid program lacks a clear-cut
plan with specific integrated
goals, while such goals do
exist in the military aid pro-
gram.
The report said that about
so per cent of United States
aid to that nation goes to sup
port nearly 100 per cent Of
Wet Mans military budget.
Pentagon figures showed this
week that Wet Nam military
aid from 1854 to last June 80
amounted to S496, 265, 900. Con-
tributions this year will total
STA, $4,000
Asks New Premise
In calling for "a new posi-
tive premise for aid to Wet
Man," the subcommittee asked
that non-military grant aid,
which topped $182 million in
the year ended last June 80,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1960-02-26

be cut progressively. 1t said
that as soon as the country is
on the way to reasonable eco
nomic self-reliance all grant
aid should be stopped. Loans
and technical help would be
continued.
The investigation was touched
off by newspaper charges last
summer that the United States
aid program had been a "a
asco" in Wet Nam. The report
said "the specific charges
do not generally lend them
selves to proof or disproof by
a legislative body"
The report made these points,
among others:
/. There should be a Joint
reconsideration with the Wet
Nam government of the low
.35-l rate at which United
States grant-aid dollars are
converted to piaSters. A rate
of 70-1 or more might be more
realistic.
2. The continued dependence
of Wet Nam on revenues from
aid grants is a form of de-
pendence which in the long
run is in the interests neither
of the Vietnamese nor this
Nation"
3. The United States military
aid advisory group can be grad
ually eliminated in the foresee-
able future. An end to the job
of military aid to Wet Nam is
in sight.
4. Non-military aid should
intensity self-help by greater
use of the resources of the De-
velopment Loan Fund and
other lending agencies. Plan
ming must set year-by-yeal
targets of what the aid is ex-
pected to accomplish.
The report criticized "top-
heavy control of the aid pro-
gram in Washington and urged
more initiative be taken BY
United States aid officials in
Wet Nam. The jobs of the
United States Ambassador and
foreign aid director in Saigor
should be put on a continuing
basis until their assignments
are completed. it said.

The states of sub-Saharan Africa no less

kwame Nkrumah of Ghana has been threatened to place
his troops at Lumumba's disposal-which would be a
disastrous move.
The principal reason is not hard to find. Ghana is

They were not born soldiers. From the day they
entered the service they trained and studied to acquire
the knowledge of soldering. Drilling and the handling
of weapons became second nature their hands learned
to know the machines and weapons of their chosen pro-
fesson they attended schools and then put their
qured knowledge to the test in field exercises; they
developed leadership qualities and learned to work
team; they learned of fairness through competitive
sports and justice through their dealings with
other
While knowledge increased and muscles toughened,
they maured in the social sciences They became world
travellers and met strange peoples they to under
stand these people and their customs thus broadening
their own understanding of human relations among

Though patriotism plays it's part, they have taken
advantage of that offers opportunities in

From the time these enlisted by their
