THE WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
u. S. Abroad: Aid and Persuasion

President Kennedy returned
on Wednesday after three days
Of talks with Central Americas
leaders In Costa Rica.
On his return, he received o
high-level report recommend
ing reductions in the United
States worldwide foreign aid
program.
President Kennedy's three-day
visit to Costa Rica apparently ac-
complished all that could have
been expected. Not only did his
personal magnetism his ma
chiSmo"-win over thousands Of
cheering fans, but at the confer
ence table, Mr.. Kennedy received
another affirmation of the lofty
goals Of the Alliance for Progress.
Even dictators like Nicaragua's
Luis Somoza who might be top
pied II the Alliance was imple-
mented, agreed to a dynamic.

program within the frame
work Of principles that govern
our democratic institutions"
In return, Mr.. Kennedy prom
ised that needed capital funds
would be soon forthcoming from
Uncle Sam, the freest spending in
dividual in world history. Since
World War II, nearly 500 billion
has been sent around the world
by the United States, a truly
enormous total.

GHpotric Called

Again the subcommittee saw
red. Senators jackson. Mcclellan
and Mundt, the latter a South
Dakota Republican. all denied the
charge and demanded q halt to
what they called anonymous in
situations and attacks against
the subcommittee. Chairman Nc
Clellan called on Mr.. Gilpatric
at the Pentagon on Monday to
discuss the matter. Mr.. Gilpatric
appeared before the committee on
Thursday.
Under questioning. the Deputy
Defense Chief, who probably will
resign this summer, said he had
told Senator Mcclellan on Mon
day that he did not know the
source Of the stories concerning
Senator jackson and the subcom-
mittee's intentions.
He denied saying that the sub
committee had misled or mousse
trapped" the Pentagon on the
hearings. but conceded he had dis
cussed the investigation with re-
porters. He concluded by saying
that apparently what he told the
reporters was open TO misinter-
probation"
Evening star., 1963-03-24
The Reciprocity

The Alliance has benefited from
our past experience with aid pro-
grams. After years of seeing mil
lions Of dollars Of aid being
wasted the United States has In
sisted that money given to Latin
America must be matched by eff
forts in the individual countries
to wipe out social. political and
economic inequities.
Part and parcel Of the Alliance
Is q demand for land reform, q
tax system that works, and dem
ocratic governments. These pro-
gressive goals, however, have
sometimes run into conflict with
the political problems Of preserv-
ing stability.
For instance, there are several
military governments in Latin
America, just as there are such
one-party juntas in the rest Of
the world. Should the United
States withhold aid to these coun-
tries until reforms are instituted,
even though by Withholding 1t, the
United States might cause eco
nomic distress In the country in
volved? This might open the coun-
try to communism.
It is obvious that in the cur
rent cold war atmosphere. aid Is
a very important weapon in the
Vests arsenal. Supporters Of aid
programs point TO the tremendous
success brought by the Marshall
Plan to Western Europe, an aid
program that cost the United
States about $40 billion.

burden Of the aid load. This has
been the theme Of Mr.. Kennedy's
requests to our NATO allies, but
so far the United States has not
gotten full satisfaction.
France and Great Britain have
given considerable sums, how
ever, to their former colonies
especially in Africa - and the
committee suggests that the
United States play a secondary
role in aid to new African coun-
tries as a result.
In Latin America, the commit
tee urged the administration to
keep to the letter Of the Alliance
for Progress and to insist on its
goals being achieved. Promises,
such as those given in Costa Rica,
must be implemented, the COM
mittee warned, or the American
public will lose interest in the
alliance.
On the question of Castro's
Cuba. the committee backed Mr..
Kennedy's contention = repeated
at his press conference on Thurs
day - that a positive approach
should be taken to prevent the
spread of communism.
Mr.. Kennedy downgraded the
military threat posed by Soviet
forces in Cuba and again urged
increased economic, social and
administrative changes to prevent
Evening star., 1963-03-24
Varieties of Aid

The aid has come in all sorts
Of packages: Military. technical
assistance, surplus food, direct
economic grants, and loans at low
interest. Until recently, Latin
America has been at the bottom
of recipients with Central
America the lowest of the Amer
icas). Ever since Mr.. Kennedy's
Alliance for Progress speech, two
years ago last week. more funds
and a great deal more attention
have been directed south Of the
border.
Over the years, the United
States has given about $6.7 bill
lion to Latin America, about two
thirds Of what the Middle East
has received. and q third Of what
has been given to Far Eastern
countries. Part Of the reason for
the discrepancy was traditional
blindness by American leaders to
Latin American problems.
But more causal was the feel
ing that communism would not
come to this hemisphere. Castro's
embracing Of communism changed
this evaluation, and ever since, the
Red threat to the Americas has
been high on the list Of United
States problems.

The NATIONAL SCENE
Row EcIipses Issues in Tx Inquiry

A full-scale row between the
Defense Department and the
Mcclellan Subcommittee last
week claimed the spotlight in
the latter's inquiry into the
controversial muIti-billiOn-doI-
lar Tx fighter bomber con-
tract award.
One had to go back to the early
SOS and the days when the late
Senator Mccarthy and his free
wheeling. Communist hunting
staff took on the Department Of
the Army to find the Pentagon
engaged In such q bitter contro-
versy with q Senate subcommittee
as the one which ragged last week
in connection with the Tx con-
tract.
The Investigations Subcommit-
tee. headed by tough and dogged
Senator Mcclellan Of Arkansas,
was looking into the award Of the
contract for a Mayfair Force
plane which may ultimately cost
$6.5 billion or more. It had Just
begun TO pick up steam when
the fighting began.
The subcommittee's objective
was to determine Defense Secre-
tary McNamara's basis for
awarding the huge plum TO Gen.
eral Dynamics Corp. rather than
TO the Boeing Airplane Co., whose
bid was s4l5 million lower and
whose design for the radically new
supersonic fighter was favored by
most Of the military experts.
The early testimony, taken
largely from Air Force and Navy
witnesses. was heavily pro-Boe-
ing. This ranked Mr.. Mcnamara
and his top civilian aides and
they began striking at the sub
committee. Whether this resulted
from q deliberate high-command
decision was open 10 speculation,
but the Pentagon's ferocious run

India:

Prime Minister Nehru pledged
last week that India would not
deviate from her policy Of
"nOnalignment" despite her bOr-
der troubles with China.
One Of the hazards Of inter-

answer to the nagging question:
Why did China press her dispute
with India to the point of actual
bloodshed?
Most observers have discarded
China's claim Of self-defense, but
they have not been able to agree
on a theory in its stead. Some have
speculated that China was trying
to prove her superiority" IN
Asia; others. that the attack was

Divided World

China's world view, Mr.. Nehrtf
says, divides the world essentially
between Imperialism and Commu-
nists, between whom war not only
is inevitable In the end, but be-
tween whom tension in some form
must be kept alive and even in
tensified as opportunity occurs"
Since India sees herself as a
mediator between the power blocs,
the Chinese view has been par
ticularly Objectionable to Mr..
Nehru who has based his whole
policy on India standing aloof
from the cold war breezes.
In the past, Mr.. Nehru's poll
cies won grudging acceptance
from the United States (which
would have preferred a more posi-
tive anti-communism in India).
1t won stronger support In Mos
COW where Premier Khrushchev
saw the non-aligned countries as
fat calves for communism, to be
attracted into the Communist
slaughter house by large amounts
of aid and extensive propaganda.
Mr.. Nehru was quite aware Of
the Russians intentions. but says
he found nothing wrong In Mr..
Khrushchev's brand Of peaceful
coexistence." Since Moscow and
Peking have not agreed on the
worth Of helping India. Mr..
Nehru believes that part OF the
reason for China's attack was TO
demonstrate that nom alignment
has no reality and that the Soviet
policy toward the non-aligned
countries is wrong: the only right
course Is TO work for q polariza-
ton Of forces In the world"
India fooled Peking. however,
Mr.. Nehru claims. because II did
not give up It's non-aligned policy,
even as American and British
planes were landing large amounts
OF military aid. Mr.. Nehru could
proudly point 10 the arrival Of
six Soviet MIG-2ls as proof OF
midas on-alignment.
Whether the Sino- Indian dis
pute will be solved In the near
future remains a big question
mark. The rest OF Asia. afraid OF
a full-scale war. have urged more
negotiations. but In the present
political atmosphere, with daily
accusations back and forth. there
Is little likelihood OF q negotiated
settlement.

scribed the new attack as "a cal

cation.
He said further that the Air
Force blast was aimed principally
at an aide who had uncovered
enormous errors" In the cost es-
Inmates of the proposed Tx

Senator Mundt put his feelings
this way:
