VIII Visit Russia
At a news conference Mr..

planned to visit the Soviet

So far, however, Mr.. Tub
man has held to a policy Of
firm friendship with the West

The son of a Methodist Min

done in the hinterlands by
American missionaries, teach

forward to the arrival of 90
United States Peace Corps vol

A Red China broadcast said
Indian troops provoked a new

The broadcast said the In

bullets, threw two hand gre

compelling the Chinese to fire
back. 1t said continued armed

Liberia, Africo's Oldest Republic,
Still Striving to Be q Showcase
BY ROBERT n. LINDSAY
Associated Press Staff Writer

MONROV1A, Liberia, Sept.
%. = THIS is Africa's oldest
republic, and President Will
liam Vacanarat Shadrach Tub
man seeks to make it the show
case of black Africa. He hasn't
done it yet, despite a floor of
American dollars. but his sup
porters say the tide is turning.
The capital. Monrovia, once
a mud-stained cluster or irion
shacks, now boast a handsome
10-story hotel and a residential
district that any American city
would be proud of.
But the city's squalid slums
are still there, some within a
few blocks of Mr.. Tubman's
air-conditioned residence.
The few who venture to
speak out against the president
camplain that he has squan-
dered national funds on need
less projects.
They point to Mr.. Tubman's
new executive mansion being
built at a cost of about SIS
million - roughly equal to half
the Republics annual revenue.
Then there are the law build
ing, recently completed at a
cost of $4.5 million, and the
governments new $1-million
information center.
Education Drive Launched
Tubman supporters insist t
that all this frosting was need
ed to maintain Liberals stand
ing and to keep pace with such
neighbors as Ghana which has
also spent millions on public
buildings.
They also note that Mr.. Tub
man has called a halt to his
building spree and embarked
on a program to better the lot
Of his one million poverty
plagued countrymen, only five
per cent of whom can read or
write.
In an effort to BRING
Liberals primitive rural areas
into the goth century. Mr.. Tub
man has launched a drive to
improve education and health
in this Ohio-size country. 9th
er goals are to modernize agri-
culture and forestry and build
more modern roads under gui-
dance of United States high
way engineers.
The United States has poured
$l34 million into Liberia since
Mr.. Tubman took over in 1914.
With apparent nudging from
Washington, the President has
blown the whistle on graft,
long a popular paStime in
government circles.

it is an example for all the
nations of Latin America and
they do not forgive us for

"China's achievement of such

her even more irresponsible and

Mr.. Rusk conceded that
lengthy negotiations with So

And he assured Senators that
military strength and disarm-

Stennis said. I'VE must recog-
nize that military might and

Of the same coin"
Cites Four Points
Mr.. Rusk told the Senate
group that all proposals ARE
designed to advance both our
foreign policy goals and our
national security"
Mr.. Rusk cited what he
termed four points of mutual
interest of this country and the
Soviet Union that give hope
that agreed steps can be taken
TO slow down the nuclear arms
race" He listed them as:
/. Realization by Soviet lead
erS that victory in a wide
spread nuclear war would mean
the destruction on both sides
Of civilization as we know it."
2. The advantage to both
countries in reduction of "the
economic burden of the arms
race"
3. A common interest in pre-
venting a war "by accident or
failure OF communications
Certain of our proposals in this
area have been accepted by the
Soviet in principle"
4. "A mutual interest in pre-
venting other countries from
acquiring nuclear weapons and
provoking a nuclear war. :"
He said a test ban and an
agreement not to transfer nu-
clear weapons might be linked
to an agreement by -nuclear
powers to refrain from manu-
featuring, testing or seeking to
acquire nuclear weapons"
Our probing of the Soviet
Union (for possible areas of
agreemen0 is by no means at
an end" he added.
