Mansfield Saws
He'||C Check on
Aid Changes
BY ]. A. O'LEARY
Star staff Writer

Senate Democratic LIE der
Mansfield plans to take a close
look at the foreign aid pro-
gram when Congress returns
January 10 to find out how
changes made at the last ses-
sion have been carried out.
The Senator said he also will
seek information on whether
those In charge of the program
have kept in mind a group of
six individual suggestions he
made when the current law
was being written.
The biggest change Congress
ordered in 1861 was to place
greater emphasis on loans than
grants by authorizing funds for
the Development Loan Fund for
five years.
But 1t turned down Presi-
dent Kennedy's request for
long-range financing by limit
ing the appropriation to one
year. This means the program
will have to be reviewed each
year.
Sees Good Start
Senator Mansfield said he
believes Fowler Hamilton, the
administrator Of the new Agen-
cy for International Develop
ment, has made q good start
in cutting personnel and
strengthening the organization.
The Democratic leader said
he is delighted that Mr.. Ham
ilton is taking his time in car
rying out the program, and
added, II hope he continues to
make haste slowly"
Among the more important |
suggestions Senator Mansfield
made when the current law was
before Congress were that
grants be used carefully as a
direct supplement Of foreign
policy: that military aid be
curtailed gradually, and that
other free nations, especially
Western Europe and Japan. be
encouraged to do their share in
aiding the underdeveloped
countries.
Hopes for Early Action
Senator Mansfield hopes the
administration will submit its
foreign aid recommendations
by February, so the Senate can
work on this subject while the
House is busy with other major
bills which must originate in
that branch.
Among the latter are medical
care for the aged, which in
wolves q new social security
tax; general tax reform. and
the new reciprocal trade pro-
gram.
In the past the Senate has
found itself struggling with
foreign aid late in the session.
Since 1862 will be an election
year, Senator Mansfield be-
lieves Congress will want to
adjourn early. For that rea-
son. he wants Senate commit
tees to begin work promptly
.on major legislation. In 1861
the session ran until Septem-
ber 27.
He predicted q more liberal
reciprocal trade program will
have a reasonably good
chance" Of passing the Senate
If the administration marshals
all the facts in support Of such
a program. One suggestion
along this line was advanced
by Senator Mansfield. It was
that the administration prepare
a State-by-State analysis of
how each area Of the country
is affected both by exports and
imports.
For example. he pointed out
that Japan is one of this coun-
try's best customers for cotton,
wheat, soybeans and tanned
hides, and that this country
has a favorable trade balance
with Japan despite seemingly
heavy imports from that
country.

U. S. Squeezes Water
Out of Smoked Hams

These hearings, Secretary
Freeman said in today's state
ment, showed preponderant
consumer opposition to the
Benson regulation.
Federally inspected professors
had urged the regulation be
amended to permit addition of
moisture provided the products
were so labeled. But Mr.. Free
man said his department didn't
have the power to enforce such
labelling at retail levels.
The professors who come
under Federal meat inspection
are those who ship from one
State to another. Those proc
essors who do business wholly
within a State do not come
under Federal regulation
Senator Maurine B. Neu-
berger, Democrat of Oregon,
termed Mr.. Freeman'S ruling
"a significant victory for the
general public"
Mr.. Freeman'S ruling goes
into effect 30 days after publi-
cation in the Federal Register,
the Governments official pub
lication.

With a bow to the consumer,
the Government today squeezed
the water out of smoked hams.
An order by Secretary of Ag-
riculture Freeman applies to
smoked pork products that are
marketed under Federal inSpec-
ton. The ruling reverses one
by Secretary Freeman'S prede-
cessor, Ezra Taft Benson.
Last December, Mr.. Benson,
Secretary of Agriculture in the
Eisenhower administration, per-
mitted the addition of moisture
of up to 10 per cent in these
pork products.
Professors who are not under
Federal inspection already had
made the moisture addition un-
der their curing process. Mr..
Benson said his ruling was
designed to put Federally-
inspected professors on par
with the others.
Consumer groups protested
and Mr.. Freeman ordered a Sc
ries of public hearings through
out the country to measure
consumer reaction.

No Formal Hearing
The FDA banned the sale of

the FDA in June to hold g

now the FDA has not made a
formal reply. 1t is understood
however, that a decision will
be made within two weeks.

Asks Court

RICHMOND, Sept. (AP).-
The Justice Department has
asked the United States 4th
Circuit Court of Appeals to
free the Cuban freighter Bahia
de Nipe for prompt sailing

ship here pending appeals is
a continuing source of en-
barrassment to the executive
branch of government"

"a source of further disturbance
in this Governments interna-
tional relations and an unwar-

court upon the executives con-
stitutional responsibility for
the conduct of foreign affairs. >
The ship sailed into Lynn
haven Roads on August II after
10 of its crewmen and the cap
tain forced % other seamen
below decks and commandeered
the ship. They were seeking
political asylum.
Since then four persons and
a shipping firm have filed
claims against the Cuban gov
ernment, which owns the vessel,
