Dor force, and the stage of econo-
mic development through which
the community is passing.
z. Citizen participation in the
total job of community improve
ment. It is so easy to concentrate
on inanimate things like materials,
plans, structures, and procedures,
and in doing SO and thereby forget
the animate human beings for
whom these structures are design
ed and which they should not
merely tolerate but actually enjoy.
The current program of Federal
Aid for Housing reform and i'm
provement as crystalized in the
Housing Act of 1861 is the result
of a gradual development that has
been going on for more than a
quarter of a century. It is also, in
its diverse aspects, a reflection Of
national recognition of the many
aspects of housing and community
improvement. Finally, the pro-
gram Of Federal assistance is, by
its nature, and in the approach
adopted for its experimentation, a
partnership effort for the use Of
Federal and local resources for the
common objective of improving
the quality of housing available to
all American citizens. In this pro-
gram and it stands ready to help
with financial and technical assist
ance if and when the local commu

8. Financial responsibility Of To-
cal government and Of a substan-
tial portion of the citizens in the
community. The aid available
from the Federal Government for
housing and for community inn
provement varies from outright
Federal grants to a combination Of
grants and loans, mortgage, qua
rantees, and supplementary credit
facilities for special groups that
can not get mortgage financing
from any other source. But to
qualify for any of this assistance,
there must be a sharing of inan-
cial responsibility on the part of
the community where community
projects are contemplated and on
the part Of the individual or cor
poration seeking financial assist
ance in the form of loans or mort
gage guarantees. Involved in this
question of financial responsibility
are considerations of employment,

several causes. One was the

BY GEORGE SHERMAN
Star Staff Writer

Black markets and rampant
food speculation are two major
headaches for the United States
crash program against starva-
ton In drought-ridden North
east Brazil.
Food prices have scared 400
to 500 per cent in the last so
days." said George McGovern,
director of the Food for Peace
program, in an interview.
The Brazilian government
has declared a state of emer-
gency in eight states. About Is
million people inhabit the half
million square miles where
Brazil bulges into the Atlantic
Ocean. Failure of bean and corn
crops have produced famine
and spreading disorder among
hungry and unemployed peas
ants.
"Of course, when you have
an area of food scarcity, you
also have a certain amount of
black marketeering and specu-
lation," said Mr.. McGovern.
Our aim is to stop it by build
ing up essential food reserves"
Food Being Rushed
President Kennedy an
nounced last week that emer-
gency shipments of United
States corn. powdered milk,
and beans were being rushed to
the restive northeast. Six thou
sand tons Of corn and 800 tons
Of dried milk already are being
distributed, and 10000 tons of
beans are either at sea or being
assembled in this country for
shipment.
The President also offered
to organize an emergency food
airlift If necessary. This would
supplement the airlift in beans
and rice which the Brazilian
government has been conduct
ing for the past two months.
The Brazilians acted after the
cost Of the minimum diet of
beans had risen above the daily
wage Of a local field worker.
The Kennedy administration
has taken a special interest in
the poverty stricken northeast
of Brazil. 1t Is considered one
of the most explosive spots In
Latin America. Hostile peasant
leagues under Francisco Juliao,
an avowed sympathizer of Fidel
Castro, threaten the whole po-
litical order in Brazil.
Mr.. McGovern and his sub
ordinates blame widespread re-
ports in the Brazilian press
about shady dealings in United
States milk shipments on Com
munist efforts to sabotage the
aid effort in the northeast.
Greatly Exaggerated
1.-THE reports are greatly ex-
aggerated," said Mr.. McGovern.
1T is true that some recipients
did trade their powdered milk
= for other supplies and that
some of this milk later ap-
. peared for sale on grocers'
Shelves" he said. But the
, cases were not widespread, and
when they were discovered, the
Brazilian government confis-
Gated the milk"
BY United States law grants
of powdered milk cannot be
sold and must be distributed
under United States official
supervision.
Food shipments for the
drought relief-which go be-
-yond those already announced
by the President-will total
$5.5 million. They are part of
an agreement signed with
Brazil last February. That
agreement also included 10000
metric tons of powdered milk
Evening star., 1962-05-28

worth $40 million for school
lunch and maternal feeding
programs over the next two
years.
Mr.. McGovern said that
more than one-half of all Food
for Peace shipments to Latin
America under the Alliance for
Progress have gone to Brazil.
Brazil has received $128 mil
lion of more than 5000 million
given in outright grants or re-
invested in local currency from
sales of surplus food.
Aim to Combat Drought
In the particular case of
Northeast Brazil, the United
States has committed itself to
more than stopgap measures.
The aim is to combat recurrent
drought by long-range plan
ming. In a recent announce

national Development agreed to

next four years to a s276 mil
