A report to Congress from

cludes that economic aid to
Korea in recent years failed
to achieve the expected results

the country to absorb effec-

The report, released yester-

1861 was S1.2 billion plus $225
million worth Of surplus farm

The report was based on in
vestigations both here and
abroad by agents Of the Gen.

The report criticized United
States aid officials for what II
said was their failure to recog-

ticularly the lack Of sufficient
technical skills to handle the
volume Of assistance.

Women Voters URGE
Hiring Of County Aide

A hired administrator to help
carry out daily operations of
Prince Georges County govern
ment was urged last night by
the local League of Women
Voters.
An administrator removed
from politics" and empowered
to carry out policy of the coun-
ty government "is essential to
modern government" the league
said in a formal statement from
its board of directors.
At the same time, the league
reiterated its stand to back the
current charter drive and take
no action on the Project Marl-
boro citizens governmental re-
port that launched the home
rule campaign a year ago.
The league has been repeat
edly quoted as denouncing
Project Marlboro by Del Malkie,
the county's public relations
director and one of the chief
spokesmen for the county COM
missioners on the subject.
The league said that the
county commissioners have had
authority to hire an admins
traitor, and that this was spelled
out again in a 1861 act of the
Maryland General Assembly
that takes effect when five
newly elected commissioner
are sworn in December 4.
A hired administrator alsC
was recommended in 1860 gov,
ernmental studies by the
Chamber Of Commerce and q
State-authorized Fiscal Advis-
ory Committee, and in Project
Marlboro.
Creation of the new position
has been promised in platform,
of both Republican and Demo
cratic parties. Three of the
Democratic county commits.
sioners are running for thirC
terms.
In addition to a professiona
administrator, the league SaiC
there should be a clearer de-
lineation Of executive and legis'
lative function"
The women also called fol
adoption and publication o
specific steps in governments
procedures.
Evening star., 1962-09-27

The group neither supported
nor rejected Project Marlboro
because it called for one type
of charter government.
Instant Common Sense" an
anticharter booklet published
earlier this month, quotes the
league as having "roundly re-
jected" Project Marlboro. The
booklet was signed by IA promi-
nent businessmen, three of
whom have been picked by the
county commissioners as char
ter board candidates.
The league does not back any
specific form of charter, but
instead favors authorization of
a charter board to study all
avenues Of approach to charter
government. The form the
board drafts would be put be-
fore the voters in 1864.

The raging waters destroyed

About 10000 were left job

square miles north and west
of Barcelona, chief port Of
Spain.
Fed by a nine-hour rain and

a long drought, then swept far
beyond the banks. They crum-
pied mills and bore off cottages.
Many persons died in their

any Americans being killed or

secondary school level in both
church-supported and secular
institutions. Mr.. Steers, who
married Mrs. Jacqueline Ken

Parents who choose to send

could not afford to absolve
them of this responsibility
and should not do SOL fee

would appeal his conviction on
9 charge Of raping o teen-age

President Kennedy today
called for better rehabilitation
and the restoration to society
Of the drug addict.
Speaking at the White House
Conference on Addiction and
Drug Abuse, he announced
that the United States and
Mexico have agreed to re-
double their efforts to erase
illegal drug traffic along the
border.
The President also told the
two day conference, which
opened today, that the effec-
tive work of the Bureau Of Mar
cotics in striking at foreign
sources intended for the United
States has been so successful
that it will be extended. Bu-
reau officers already cooper
ate with narcotics officials In
Europe, the Near and Middle
East.
Under the forceful and pur-
poseful leadership of Commits
sioner Harry j. Anslinger," the
President said, "the bureau re.
duced this misery producing
traffic so effectively that where
35 years ago addicts could pur.
chase a 100 per cent, or pure
heroin, the sharply curtaileC
amount entering the United
States today requires traffick'
ers to dilute their products tt
the point that the addict OBJ
tains only 3 to 5 per cent her
DIN in the package he pur'
chases."
Rehabilitation Lags
The President said he ha,
earlier today presented spe
cial citation to Commissions
Anslinger for his work.
But in rehabilitation. tn
President said, progress ha
been slower. He said man,
addicts are freed from medics
institutions to return to tn
same environment, friends an

brought them to addiction. !
is not surprising, therefore, tn
President said, that many ad
diets relapse.
Positive efforts to break tn
(relapse) cycle will obviously b,
more successful" the Presiden
said, than a system which
treats the symptoms and dis
regards the causes"
The President also asked tina
more attention be given tn

drugs, including barbiturate
and amphetamines (pep pills.

Lexington's Christmas pa.
rade this year was the best
in history.
Actually, it was really the
first parade we have ever had.
Our Christmas presentation
heretofore has been confined
to the arrival of Santa, the
lighting of the Christmas tree,
carols and music by the Lex
ington High band.
This year there were more
than twenty decorated floats,
three school bands, and sew
eral other units.
We congratulate the Lex
ington Chamber of Commerce
and the Junior Chamber of
Commerce, c~o-sponsors of the
parade, and commend them
highly for their efforts.
The Jaycees did most of the
planning and work, but the
senior body also made val
liable contributions. There is
credit enough FOR both.
In this highly competitive
age a good Christmas program
is a practical necessity for a
progressive community - and
we are happy to announce
the Jaycees will sponsor the
Christmas parade every year.
So we can all begin jan
