u. S. Is Seen
Trying to Do
Too Much
BY GARRETT D. HORNER
Star staff Writer

Americas foreign-aid pro-
gram is trying to do too much
for too many" President Ken
nedy was told In a hard hitting
report made public by the
White House last night.
The report, by a committee
Of private citizens headed by
Gen. Lucius D. Clay, urged q
substantial tightening up" to
strengthen the aid program it
termed essential to United
States and free world security.
1t recommended eliminating
aid to some countries and dras-
tically curtailing assistance to
others while increasing pressure
on allies to bear more Of the
burden Of helping economic
development in backward coun-
tries.
There was one dissent among
the Presidentially appointed
committee Of 10 prominent
Internationally known as the
Committee to Strengthen the
Security of the Free World.
The dissenter, George Meany,
president of the AFL-CIO, asked
an expanded program.
Commitments Acknowledged
The committee did not pro-
pose any specific immediate
cut, but did report that If the
tougher criteria it recommend
ed were now in effect, the cur
rent $50 billion aid program
could be reduced by about $500
million. But 1t said fulfilling
commitments would delay full
application Of new standards.
The group recommended that
total United States foreign mil
itary assistance, now running
s1.44 billion a year, be cut to 81
billion within three years rath-
er than by fiscal 1868, as the
Pentagon proposes.
President Kennedy in jan
uary asked Congress for $40
billion in foreign aid for the
next year, a 81 billion increase
over fiscal 1863 ending June 80.
Now, he is reported considering
reducing the figure by about
5000 million when he sends a
special aid message to Congress.

The British government,
plagued by export difficulties
and high unemployment, is
quietly setting the stage for
important new business deals
with Russia and Red China.
Two big contracts with the
Russians were reported under
study. Each seems certain to
heighten controversy in West
ern capitals. They are:
1. The Board of Trade was
advised the South Durham Steel

oil pipe to the Russians. The
$225 million Middlesborough
firm has been losing money
lately. 1t hopes to pick up Or
ders for pipeline equipment
which West German companies
have had to cancel as a re-
suit of a government embargo.
Britain's refusal to join in a
general Atlantic alliance en-
barge of steel pipe sales to Rus
STA has been criticized in Bonn
and Washington.
2. The British cabinet is also
considering a Moscow offer to
sell Britain up to two million
tons Of Soviet oil a year.

indicated they will place Or
ders with the hard-pressed
British shipbuilding industry.

Wildlife Fared Well
Despite Hard Winter

The severe winter weather in
this county apparently had no
serious effect on wildlife, accord
ing to a recent survey. The snow
fall did not reach a depth great
enough to prevent game from
reaching food.
As long as wi'dlife can secure
food they can live through the
rigors of the winter SHOWS and
sub-zcro cold. Hardwood forests
produced bumper crop of
acorns, a most important food for
game.
Deer, wild turkey. squirrels and
ruffed grouse and even quail can
live well if the acorn crop is
good, it is said. The quail can eat
acorns which burst open during
the winter months.
It was stated that curing the
196O-61 winter all species of wild
life suffered for lack of food eX-
cept the deer. Deer can survive
the cold winters and they are
able to reach browse from the
forest areas.
Squirrel population reached an
all-time low during the 1862 sea-
son. Game wardens work diligently
to protect deer herds against
poachers. To-day more deer are
killed illegally and sold on the
BLACK market than perhaps all
other species combined.
Timber cutting has cleared many
thousands of acres in both Garrett
and Allegany counties and strip
mine operations also eliminated
other thousands of acres which
we're formerly good hunting
grounds. There has been consider
able reforestation in evergreenS
but this tree does not provide
food for game.
