Rusk Blast Hit
AS Possible
B|under on Aid

Secretary Of State Dean
RuSk's head-on attack against !
congressional slaShes of foreign
adm the view of both friends
and foes of the program-may
turn out to have been a tactical
blunder.
Both camps indicated his
bold charge may draw more
fire on the program, instead of
diminishing it.
Opening six to seven weeks
of hearings on the foreign aid |
authorization bill Friday, the
usually diplomatic Mr.. Rusk |
shot this blast:
There is nothing that the
Communists want more than
to see the 'YankS go home i
If we Yanks come home, the
Communists will begin to take
over. Why any American would
want to cooperate with that
global Communist strategy is
beyond my understanding. But
that is what sharp cuts in our
foreign aid programs would
mean"
Said Representative Pass
man, Democrat of Louisiana,
who leads the fight to slash the
foreign aid funds each year:
Congress will never give him
a dollar in foreign aid If he
makes statements like that"
Mr.. Passman is chairman of
the appropriations subcommit-
tee which handles aid funds.
1t was learned, meanwhile,
that Mr.. Passman arranged a
quiet meeting yesterday at his
office with Gen. Lucius Clay,
head Of a presidential commit
tee which recommended tight
ening up Of the foreign aid
program.
A Democratic committee
member who strangely favors
the foreign aid principle said
ruefully Of the Rusk statement:
II think this is putting a
weapon in their hands. Il
try to operate on the principle
that you catch more flies with
honey than with vinegar"
Asking that his name not be
used, he added, This is the
year that the drums are beat
ing for cuts in foreign aid,
which has fewer constituents
on Capitol Hill than anything
else"
He added that he doubted
Mr.. Rusk actually wrote the
strong wording Of the state
ment or reviewed it "as care
fully as he might have"
Mr.. Rusk made no homes
about talking of those who
favor cutting these powerful
and effective instruments" He
called 1t a "defeatist prescrip-
ton" and said they must as
sumo an awful responsibility"

Bell told the Fifth World Con-

planned that the termination
of such aid would come as it
did to European nations under
the Marshall Plan.
Within the next five years,
he said, foreign aid from the
United States will end in Greece,
Israel and Nationalist China.
However, he emphasized that
military aid will be continued
in Greece and China after other
aid is terminated.

Back to 'despicable.' It is
derived from an essay by Gil

More Hazardous

Driving In Delaware has be-
come more hazardous with the
coming of bad weather because
drivers are failing to maintain
full control of their cars, a
safety expert declared yester-
day.
Actual observation of driving
of Delaware motorists on the
highways shows they fail to slow
down enough to maintain COM
plete control of their vehicles
in bad weather, said ]. James
Ashton, manager of the Della
ware Safety Council. This
failure Is believed to be fac
tor In the recent increase In
highway deaths in Delaware, he
continued.
He said the recent pile-up of
trucks in fog on the New Jersey
turnpike is "only a more
dramatic and more horrible ex-
ample of what goes on in Del
aware and elsewhere in fog and
in rain. People are just failing
to reduce their normal speed
when visibility is reduced, and
they are asking for trouble. !"
In driving too fast In rain and
fog, motorists are "out-driving
themselves" and are 'assum-
ing there is a clear road ahead
when they can't see it," said
Ashton. ''It doesn't make sense
to aim your car at place you
can't see, but that is what people
are doing by failing to adjust
their driving speed to the road
conditions and the car con-
ditions." He referred to slip
periness and poor visibility on
the road and to poor visibility
caused by Jogging inside the car.
The time 1t takes to stop In a
safe place and wipe the inside
of the windshield, doors and
rear window, to remove the fog

sipates the light. That fact is
another reason for reducing
speed during rain and darkness,
