Bell Says Foreign Aid Helps
Wage E pic Freedom Fight

over Africa, seeking to expand
its foothold in the Western
Hemisphere"
Two rough spots in foreign
relations - left-leaning Indo-
nesia and the vendetta between
India and Pakistan over Kash-
mir-have drawn repeated crit
ical attention in the hearings.
Both Democratic and Repub-
lican members of the commit
tee have suggested that United
States aid be used as a lever
in these situations.
They we're expected to raise
the point again with Mr.. Bell.
Seeks Familiarity
Mr.. Bell has been spending
endless hours" in the words Of
an associate, getting familiar
with the worldwide activities
Of his agency. He moved
in from his former posi-
ton as director of the budget
just after Christmas. He has
been recently calling on men,

Committee so they'd be familiar
to him aid he'd be familiar to
them.
A number of committee mem

Gated they feel President Su-
karno of Indonesia edged his
island nation too close to the
Soviet orbit.
Secretary of Defense Nc
Namara said yesterday he felt
the rather limited military as
sistance program for IndoneSia
should be continued but re-
duced in coming years. He &C
knowledged that Russia has put
5000 million worth of military
assistance into Indonesia.

Foreign Aid Director David
T.. Bell said today United
States military and economic
aid to underdeveloped countries
lis helping to wage the epic
battle of our time, the battle
between freedom and COM
munism."
Mr.. Bell, chief of the Agency
for international Development,
made the statement to the
House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee which is considering the
Administrators pared down
request for a $4.5-billion for
eign aid budget in the coming
year.
While emphasizing the con-
tinuing need for foreign aid,
Mr.. Bell told the committee,
II take it we are all in agree
ment that our program Of eco
nomic and military assistance
should be designed to be self
terminating"
THE purpose Of our efforts"
he said, sis to help other
countries get on their own
| feet and achieve a position in
which they can sustain eco
nomic growth and, where nee
essary, military strength with
out extraordinary outside
help"
Trend to Self-SuppOrt
Mr.. Bell said that has hap
pened in Europe since 1850,
and To-day the termination Of
the need for development loans
on soft terms is clearly in
siRht for additional countries,
among them Greece, Israel,
Free China, Venezuela and
Mexico"
He said the need for mill
tary aid to Greece and China
will undoubtedly continue
longer.
In other cases, Mr.. Bell said,
1.-THE end is not yet in sight
but it is clearly in mind. 1t
will take some years for coun-
tries like Korea. India. Pakistan
and Turkey to achieve eco
nomic self-support-but clearly
that should be their target, and

GOVERNMENT GUDELINE
IGNORED

The Presidents Council, in
a move designed to curb the pay
price upspiral, decided some
time ago that 1t would be all right
for unions to negotiate raises
as long as they did not go be-
yond the roughly 80 annual pro-
ductivity guideline. Instead, con-
sistentIy more than that has been
asked for In straight pay boosts,
and in calls for further additions
to fringes.
Looking ahead, l foresee nc
change in labor's decision to by
pass the governments produc-
tivity guideline. Labor leaders,
in order to hold their own jobs,
try to get all possible conces-
sions in both straight raises
and fringe benefits. It certainly
looks now as If any reduction in
union demands over the period
ahead would stem from possible
business weakness and the fear
of layoffs.
RAISES VIA SHORTER HOURS
Some union leaders have on
their agenda another move that
will result in still higher labor
costs, - and this is the drive
for the 35-hour week. They want
this concession with no change
in take-home-pay, which would
mean a 14% hike in basic hourly
wage rates. SINCE they see little
chance of getting Congress to
grant such boon, they hope to
get IT by fighting ahead company
by company, industry by industry.
! fear you may see more of this
as 1868 works along.

BABS0N DISCUSSES LABOR COSTS

Babson Park, Mass, January
8, 1868. No analysis of present
conditions or prospects for the
future should leave out the i'm
pact of labor costs on our manu-
featuring and services. Workers
naturally think In terms of how
much they are getting in today's
pay envelope and how much they
will get In tomorrow's. They do
not often give much attention to
the fact that employers must
think always of how to hold en-
ployment up, how to meet rising
labor costs, how to keep their
businesses healthy, how to ensure
fair profits, how to keep prices
down, or how to put aside funds
for modernization and expansion.
Perhaps only an employer can
really appreciate these prob
lens.
Readers may ask: Just how
much of an inroad have labor
costs made? A recent survey in
dicates that total pay for time
worked has scared 1909 over the
past Is years. Far more spec
tacular Is the fact that fringe
benefits now cost management
about $3.50 more than they did
at the end of the Korean War.
II is easy to see what over
whelming pressure this exerts-
on the price of American goods
and services. Little wonder that
cheap labor foreign goods are
underselling US along steadily
broader fronts. Economists are

Teen Talk TrunsIotors Needed
For Events in March of Dimes

What's q gym jam? A SaIk
hop? A sock shuttle?
Do you give up? Want a
translation?
All three are names of
dances that will be held by
teenagers across the coun-
try this January in honor
Of the 25th Anniversary
March of Dimes.
The authority for this infor-
nation is a blonde, hazel-eyed
beauty who is national chair
man for the Teen Age Pro-
gram (TAP) of The National
Foundation March of Dimes.
She's Suzie Willett, 18, Will
mington, Del, a freshman at
Russell Sage College, Troy,
NY, where she is studying
nursing. She became a March
of Dimes volunteer several
years ago because she wanted
to help people"
An enthusiastic worker, she
travelled the state of Delaware
and showed high school stu
dents how they could help car
ry out the March of Dimes
programs to fight birth defects,
arthritis and polio-a trio of
cripplers of concern to young
people as well as to older age
groups.
Is Top Tap
This fall and winter, as the
top TAP, she's been corre-
spending and talking with
teens all over the country, adj
vising them how they can
make themselves useful in
March of Dimes activities in
their home towns.
"Just about all the teens I've
met in my travels for the
March of Dimes really want to
do something constructive, "
Suzie says. "Most of them join
TAP groups because this gives
them an opportunity to con-
tribute to the life of their COM
munity.
There have been several
national surveys which show
that DR.. Jonas Salk, who de-
veloped the killed-virus polio
vaccine solely with March of
Dimes support, is a hero to
teens. It's easy to see why. DR..
Salk is a dedicated man, ab-
sorbed in his humanitarian
work. Teens are very idealistic
and they gladly give their re-
spect to anyone who earns it.

Dear Friends:
/ can't remember a prettier
Christmas. AS the paper this
morning said, "We had a white
on white Christmas" We had
quite snow Friday before
Christmas and then Christmas
day we have seven more inches!
Hayes knows that dearly love

home from the Pentagon Friday
afternoon he looked at my anx-
ious expression on my face and
said, "It's a bad time for this
snow, isn't it?"
Saturday the 22nd the Townsend
family had planned to have their
turkey dinner together and it
looked very much like the five
Hayes Dickerson's would be
missing the family affair because
of the near blizzard here in
southern (?) Virginia. My dad

and told us the Delaware roads
we're all cleared. BY 1880 we

WORKERS LOST OUT

No sane observer wants to see
the nation's workers deprived of
their fair slice of the profits
pie. But when wage and fringe
costs become top-heavy, the
workers lose their gains through
skyrocketing living costs, cut
down In working hours, and un-
employment. Too many union
leaders, however, act as though
profits should be used only to
swell payrolls. They give little
or no regard to the necessity
of distributing reasonable seq
ments of profits to owners, in
vestors, researchers, distribu-
tors, planners of future plant
expansion, - and most important
of all, to the public in the form
of lower prices all along the
line.
When employers balk against
exaggerated wage demands,
unions frequently resort to
schemes of taking less In actual
cash in return for new or ex-
tended fringes. But workers
should realize that fringes are
just as expensive for the company
as are dollars placed In pay en-
velopes. Fringes may be out of
sight of the employees; but they
are very much in view when COM.
pany expenditures are totaled.l
They are just as inflationary as
outsized wage hikes, If somewhat
more subtle.
Milford chronicle., 1963-01-04
TAX REMINDER


ances of any kind should do some think
ing if they have not already, and be pre-
pared to begin keeping exact expense re
cords January 1st.
From that date on the government
will require careful substantiation of
claimed expenses. When April, 1864, rolls
around and this substantiation is not a.
vailable, many claimed expenses might
not be allowed.
Every employee and employer who
has business expenses or expenses which
are legitimate business expense deduc-
tions should demand receipts in all cases,
and keep them in special book or folder,
and they should be properly dated, as
well as other expenditures that are re-
corded in the book.
The new regulations are pain in the
neck for busy people, though abuses of
the expense account system have led to
the new tax law. A word to the wise
should be sufficient in this case.
PASSMAN DISGUSTED
Congressman Otto Passman, the Lou
isiana Democrat who heads House sub
committee which supervises foreign aid
has just returned from trip all over the
world - trip designed to appraise the
country's aid program.
What the hard fighting Congress-
man has to say is of interest to every
Am er c taxpayer: in brief, he is
thoroughly disgusted with the aid pro-
gram.
One of the aims for which our money
is going, in some countries, is to finance
private or parochial schools. In this case
and in others we have the spectacle of
State Department or other appointees de-
Gliding that American tax money will be
used outside our borders for purposes
which are specifically barred by the Con-
stitution, inside our borders.
BY now the foreign aid system has
gained solid entrenchment in the way of
employees, a bureacratic organization
fighting for its life and for retention of
jobs, and hackers who have profited from
these yearly expenditures and who will
continue to profit from them.
Our Peace Corps has worked well.
This is aid to nations by human beings
working on very low salaries. This is the
best form of aid; it is understood; it is
aid from the heart and in leadership and
technical ways that can improve a ma
tion's people and their making of a living.
This is the kind of aid we can expand.
The old money give away should be ter
minated as quickly as possible. Passman,
no doubt, reflects the will of the majority
OF the American people.
