Nations Press Agrees
Meanwhile, the Nations
newspapers continued to swing
behind efforts to ratify the
amendment. which would give
District residents a vote for
President and Vice President.
Editorial comments from all
sections of the country describe
the Districts voteless state as
a downright shame" and an
"ironic" situation.
District residents have been
unable to vote in national cleo
tons since Washington was
formed in 1900. Presidential
elections could be held here by
1864 If 80 more States ratify
the amendment.
Hawaii. Massachusetts, New

amendment. The measure also
has cleared both houses of the

Authority to
Call Troops

President Kennedy issued an
executive order today dele
eating to the Secretary of
Defense authority to order
members Of the Ready Reserves

The action was taken to
carry out legislation passed last
week by Congress authorizing
the President to strengthen
the armed services by calling
Reserve and National Guard
units into active duty.
Under the executive order
the Secretary Of Defense and,
when designated by the Secre-
tary, any of the Secretarys of
the military departments, are
empowered to exercise the au-
thority given in the legislation
to the President to call up the
Reserves.
The order provides that the
Secretary Of Defense may not
order any unit in the Ready
Reserve Of an armed force to
active duty, other than active
duty for training without
the approval of the President"
Under the law Reserves not
exceeding 100000 may be or
dered to active duty for not
more than IL months with or
without their consent.
The same executive order
also authorized the Secretary
Of Defense to extend enlist
ments and periods of active
duty for any part of the Ma
tional Guard. The President
has announced that several
tactical and transport units of
the Air National Guard will be
called to active duty and these
units, including the District Air

Inter-Americon PorIey
Boys Down in Politics

has stated his strong oppoSi-
ton to a planning staff.
But he is maneuvering to
get a compromise that Latin
Americans might accept, but
the United States would OPP
pose.
Uruguay's opposition shows
the indirect support several
small Latin American nations
are giving Cuba. Uruguay,
Venezuela, Paraguay, Bolivia
and the Central American re-
publics oppose the powers and
composition of the inter-
American planning staff. They
want the United States to stick
to its original proposal for
seven wise men" who would
be experts above governments
to supervise the coordination
Of national plans.
EncrOachment Feared
The revised panel of experts
backed by the big nations
waters down this original COM
mittee because Argentina and
Brazil feared possible intrusion
on their sovereignty by seven
wise men,"
The United States position
is that there can only be as
much international supervision
as the Big Three of Mexico,
Brazil and Argentina will ac-
cept. But the small nations
say that the new plan would
be heavily weighted ip -avor
Of the big nations.
They fear the big nations
will finish their own develop
ment plans, take them to the
United States for study, and
get aid before the small coun-
tries have even determined
their needs.
These small countries there
fore consider seven wise men"
with supranational overseeing
authority their best guarantee.
Cuba proposes the creation
of a six-man control group
from Latin America and the
world at large. with each
member having the power of a
veto.
Discussed With FrOndizi
Mr.. Dillon repeatedly dis
cussed the question Of the
seven wise men" with Mr.
Frondizi in Buenos Aires. Later
Mr.. Frondizi repeatedly tele-
phoned Uruguayan President
Haedo IN Montevideo urging
support Of the big nation posi-
ton.
One compromise being dis
cussed would earmark a small
nation fund" for immediate
development programs in the
most needy countries.
While all this jockeying goes
on behind the scenes, debate
on the form of the final docu-
ment continues in committee.
Beyond the preamble the
most important provision
adopted is the goal of a ~
per cent average per capita
growth each year in every
country in Latin America.

Carlton Skinner, former Gov

twice in the foreign aid bills
of 1857 and 1859.
He told the Senate that
while this method of financ-
ing has been authorized by
Congress for some other agen-
cies, its validity has been ques-
tionable under the provision
in the Constitution which
states that no money shall be
drawn from the Treasury but
in consequence of appropria-
tions made by law"
Senator Byrd recalled that
Chairman Cannon of the
House Appropriations Commit
tee has described the practice
"of evading appropriation con-
troll by use of authority to
spend from the debt as repre-
henSible.'" The Senator said
he agrees with Mr.. Cannon.
Points to Long Range Cost
The Virginia Democrat also
repeated the argument that if
the Treasury borrows $8.8 bill
lion to be reloaned to other
countries for periods up to SO
years, this Government would
pay a total of $29.7 billion in
interest on the borrowed
money, computed at 3 per cent
compounded annually over the
so years. He also pointed out
that the administration plans
to lend this money to the other
countries without interest in
some cases or at rates as low
as l per cent.
Senator Byrd declared that
during the last is years for
eign aid spending has reached
a gross total of $90.8 billion,
with indications that under the
pending bill it is entering a
new phase" that will continue
for a long time. He called at
tention to the growth of the
Federal budget in other direc-
lions and predicted that with
in a few years the overall rate
of Federal spending will reach
500 billion a year. He said this
emphasizes the Importance OF
retaining congressional control
over appropriations.

Among 5 Killed in
2h-Hour Bottle

Aug. II (AP).-Three Algerian
rebels, a soldier and a police
man were killed and several
other persons were wounded to-
day in a 2l2-hour gun battle in

The fight started about SUM-
rise when a Foreign Legion pa
troll spotted rebels in a public
garden. A rebel lookout was
shot off his perch in a tree
and a Legionnaire was wounded
in return.
ReinforcementS came up
quickly and grenade explosions
and bursts of fire echoed
around luxurious homes Dor
dering the park. It was the
first such battle in Sidi Bel
Abbes, home post of the French
Foreign Legion, IN the more
that six years Of Algerian war.
The rebels took refuge in a
villa. Two 37-mm. cannon were
brought up. The house was
riddled and when the barrage
ended a squad Of soldiers and
policemen entered the house,
killing the two remaining rebels
with grenades and machine
pistol fire.
In Algiers, meanwhile, the
right-wing European under
ground pressed its plastic
bombing campaign and claimed
another fatality, the 35-year-
old wife Of a French school,
teacher and mother of two
children. She was killed in the

PUNTA DEL ESTE, Uruguay,
Aug. 1.-THE special Inter-
American Economic and Social
Conference showed dangerous
signs today of sinking into the
political quagrnire the United
States has fought to avoid.
Continued Cuban adherence
to the Organization of Ameri-
can States is the heart of the
matter. although surface de-
bate is over how $40 billion
in aid is to be channelled to
Latin America.
The United States is not d.
rectly involved in the debate,
although it is carefully cycling
developments.
A disput between the big
nations" and the small ma
tons" Of the Southern CONT
nent blew up yesterday while
Secretary Of the Treasury
Dillon was in Buenos Aires dis
cussing economic affairs with
Argentine President Frondizi.
Cuba Signing Issue
The basic question is whether
Cuba will be able to sign the
final document for the Alliance
for Progress being drafted in
committee here behind closed
doors. The agreement will set
up goals and machinery on the
Alliance over the next decade.
Ernesto Che Guevara, the
fiery delegate from Cuba. re-
peatedly has pleaded that Cuba
cannot be discarded" from the
Latin American family. Sources
close to the Cuban delegation
claim he believes the United
States is sponsoring a plan
that every nation in Latin
America but Cuba can sign.
According to this reasoning,
Cuba refusal to adhere to the
Alliance would then form the
basis for a future foreign min
listers meeting to isolate Cuba
and push it out Of hemisphere
organizations.
The Cuban tactics are crystal
clear. Mr.. Guevara, a versatile
performer in this company of
experts from 81 nations, is skill
fully playing on Latin American
divisions between large and
small nations about who is to
get how much money.
Resolution introduced
The debate between the small
and large nations is centered on
q draft resolution introduced
several days ago by Argentina,
Brazil, Chile, Mexico and Peru.
The resolution follows the
position Mr.. Dillon outlined at
the opening Of the conference.
1t cites the need for economic
progress and social justice
within the framework of per-
sonal freedom and political
liberty"
1t cites the need for $40 bill
lion in aid during the next
decade, calls for long-range de-
velopment plans within 10
months and outlines the neces-
sity of domestic reforms.
The controversial section
calls for an inter-American
planning staff appointed by
three major hemisphere or
CARNATIONS outside any gov
ernment-the ter-American
Development Bank, the Organ
ization of American States and
the United Nations economic
commission for Latin America.
Upon request. experts from
the proposed planning panel
would help draw national de-
velopment plans.
Approved 10 to
In a closed session Of dele
CATION chiefs yesterday, this
draft resolution was approved
1871 as a basis for discussions
in drawing up the final docu-
ment. Uruguay voted against
the draft, Cuba, voted for its
discussion and the Dominican
Republic abStained.
Observers say that Cuba's
vote indicates an attempt to
keep its membership in hemi-

treasury BORROWING and re-
quire the President to obtain
annual appropriations from
Congress for the $8.8 billion
to be loaned to underdevelopec
countries during the next five
years. ~.
Supporters of the BYRD
amendment conceded they will
fall short of a majority, but
they hope to muster between
AZ and Is votes. If their es-
Inmates prove correct the ad-
ministration would have be-
tween S. and SO.
Meanwhile, several liberal
Republicans conferred this
morning with Chairman Full
bright of the Foreign Relations
Committee on the concession
he offered several days ago to
give congressional committees
30" days in which to examine
any foreign loan before it is
made, but without authority to
veto it.
There were reliable reports
that a modified version of this
proposal may be agreed upon
which would pick up five OF
six additional Republican votes
against the Byrd amendment.
If that happens it might in
crease the vote against Senator
Byrd's proposal to about so.
Study Fulbright Plan
Among the Republicans seek
ing to work out this COM
promise are Senators Salton-
stall of Massachusetts, Keat-
ing of New York, Morton OF
Kentucky, Bush of Connecticut
Scott of Pennsylvania and
Prouty of Vermont.
The Point of Dispute
Senator Byrd is not propos-
ing to shorten the five-year
period, or to reduce the overall
authorization of $8.8 billion
He is centering his attack on
the effort to finance the loan
program with Treasury bor-
rowing, which he contends de-
prives Congress of control over
the purse strings.
After the Byrd amendment
is disposed of today, the Sen
ate will recess until Monday
when score of proposals tt
change various details of the
bill will be called up.
These amendments will in.
clude efforts to reduce the
amount and shorten the dura-
ton of the loan program. al
well as to cut other parts Of
the bill authorizing grants tt
supplement the loans.
Senate leaders hope to pas!
the bill by Wednesday. Mean
while, the House is scheduled
to start the foreign aid debate
late Monday under a specia
rule allowing eight hours o.
general debate.

plea for eliminating the Dor
