Spanish Paper Accuses
 Gen. Clay of an Upside Down Foreign Aid Policy

MADRID tR - The influential Spanish newspaper ABC Saturday accused Gen. Lucius Clay of rec ommending an upside-doWn for eign aid policy to President Ken nedy.
 The newspaper was responding to reports that Clay recommended heavy cuts in American assistance to Spain.
 Gen. Clay made the error of citing as necessary steps a re- duction in aid to precisely those nations which have received the least" it said. "The general has thus established the strange econ omic theory that those who got less in the past should even get less in the future"
 The retired generals special committee studying the foreign aid program made it's report to Presi- dent Kennedy a week ago Satur- day.
 Spain and the United States have a pending renewal of their defense agreement by which American forces use four major masses in Spain in return for US. aid.

Army Warfare
 Training Center
 Set Up at Fit. Greedy
lR

ANCHORAGE R - The US. Army Northern Warfare Training Center, charged with training Army units from the Continental United States in the problems of combat in the northern attitudes, will be established April 1 at Ft. Greedy, it was announced yesterday by Army officials.
 The center will operate the year around, training visiting units in both summer and winter warfare techniques.
 This will be the first time the Army has had a formal center for unit training in northern opera tions, according to Maj. Gen. Ned Moore, Commanding General of all Army forces in Alaska. The US. Army, Alaska, will operate the center for the entire Army.
 The new training center is being organized around a nucleus of the US. Army Cold Weather and Mountain School at Ft. Greedy, which will be discontinued the day the center opens.
 Facilities and most of the per sonnel of the Cold Weather School will be used for the center.
 The Cold Weather and Noun tain School has trained individual officers and non-commissioned of- ficers as instructors in Arctic and subarctic combat techniques, both winter and summer.
 The Northern Warfare Training Center will handle full military units, which will go through the training period as organizations under their own officers and non- commissioned officers. The train ing will be planned and directed by the center staff.
 The center was established on | h e recommendation of Gen Moore. Experience of units from the zone of the interior in winter maneuvers in Alaska has proven the value of intensive Alaskan training for Army troops.
 ''The experience gained by these men in training in Alaska will stand them in good stead anywhere in the world," Gen. Moore said, and we cannot escape the fact that 65 per cent of the Eurasian land mass has climate quite similar to that of central Alaska"
 Establishment of the center at Ft. Greedy will round out the Arny's special climate training centers. It already has centers for jungle warfare and desert warfare.
 The Northern Warfare Training Center, using the using the same facilities as the Cold Weather and Mountain School, will have the capability of handling several times as many trainees as the school did because it will be work ing with units rather than indi- viduals, Gen. Moore said.
