ERIC sEVAREID

This is q sort Of position
paper" for the Presidents
eyes about his imminent
move from the Glen Ora
estate in Virginia to his new
house, acres and pond on
Rattlesnake Mountain near
by. I should have gotten this
off to him earlier, but ] kept
thinking that David Law
renee or James Reston would
step In to advise Mr.. Ken
nedy about his new home
place, as we would call it in
that back country.
Mr.. Reston probably fig
ured that since his place has
a run, not a pond, and is
away over near Hume, he
couldn't advise with author
ity; and while Mr.. Lawrence's
acres near Centreville are
within hne-of-sight Of Rat
tlesnake, the Presidents rec
ord Of following his advice Is
thin, which probably dis
couraged Mr.. Lawrence. So,
since I know both Glen Ora
and Rattlesnake and my
cabin and pond are not far
off. the duty obviously falls
to me.
To begin with-of course
you know, Mr.. President, that
you got stung on the acreage
price, but we all do the first
time we try, to haggle with
country -slickers. Ten years
from now you'll laugh about
it.
Now, about the dam-the
county agent over at Gull
peper will advise on the con-
struction and figure the
drainage area. He won't
charge you anything, even II
he drives over on his day off.
For goodness sake, don't try
to build the dam yourself. Ed
Murrow did. and 1t went out
in the first flash flood-gave
him an extra furrow in his
forehead. You'll want a dock.
Make 1t oak or locust. the
pilings well creosoted. Get
hold Of a fellow named STAN
ley Brown; he can build any
thing and he's very reason
able.
Time magazine must be
wrong about your putting
perch in the pond. Keep It
to large-mouth bass and
bluegills. and don't even
dream about trout in that
mud bottom. For an acre

inquiry. "Wait a minute" he
would say to q witness, II
don't think you answered Mr..
Black" He attracted the
bankers first by his orderly
absorption Of the testimony
and later by his sympathy for
the points on which they
were troubled. His attitude
and ability impressed us
greatly" they said in their
report.
Mr. Bell is the Nations
18th administrator Of foreign
aid. and he has stimulated
hopes that he will prove the
most effective since Harold
Stassen left the agency in
1855. When he took the post
this January. a heavy pail
hung over foreign aid. The
staff was dispirited by the
uneven management Of Fow-
Ter Hamilton, and Congress
was disenchanted by signs
that the reorganization Of
1861 had misfired.
But matters have improved.
Mr.. Bell has brought q new
spirit, the AID officials per-
formed creditably before the
Clay Committee, and political
confidence in the program
was bolstered by the Gallup
Poll which showed that 1t is
supported by So per cent Of
the people and opposed by
only 30 per cent.
The formation Of the Clay
committee was q major GAM
BILE by the President in that
a harshly negative statement
would undercut existing con-
gressional support. The gam
bic appears to have paid off.
Critics Of foreign aid will find
some new ammunition in the
pages Of the report, but the
President has acquired q
measured Endorsement almost
certain to prove valuable in
shaping the program and
advancing its cause in Con-
gress.

I almost forgot-you won't

you do put in Federal fish,
any taxpayer is legally en-

back-country folks this way,
and If you drop a polite hint,
they won't leave empty beer
cans on the dam.
1t won't take you long to

say, $50 bass fingerlings to
1000 bluegills. You can get
application forms from the
Interior Department and
they will send the fish in
milk cans from the hatchery
on the West Virginia side of
the Blue Ridge. 1t won't cost
you a cent, because the Gov
eminent In Washington
wants us to impound more
waters against erosion, and
encourage protein feed sup
plies for poultry. There's a
manual you can get free from
the Agriculture Department
which proves you can har-
vest more pounds Of food per

In a year or two start fish

have nothing but stunted
fish from overpopulation and
will have to drain the pond

both under the present and

belief that the Organization
Of American States can be
made to function as a kind Of

the Latin American coun-

doubtful whether any firm

CHARLES BARTLETT

The Clay Committee on
foreign aid has taken a
bankers look at the program
and called upon the Presi-
dent to impose a greater
sense Of stringency on the
current operations without
radically changing their ma
ture or extent.
The great weight Of influ-
ence on the l0-man commit
tee was welded by four re-
spected and conservative fig
ures who presumably did not
cast a single vote for John
Kennedy In 1960-Lucius
Clay, Robert Lovett, Eugene
Black and Robert Ander-
son. Conservatives will won
der why four such men could
not find more to criticize
and change In a program as
sprawled in controversy as
foreign aid.
The committee members
found their inhibitions in the
difference between theory
and practice. 1t is one thing
to bemoan, as most Ameri-
cans would, the distribution
Of aid to IS countries and
another to find places where
1t can be eliminated without
damage to national security.
1t is one thing to lament the
need to give over $50 mil
lion per year to the unviable
state Of Jordan and another
to contemplate the conse-
quences If aid we're with
drawn and the government
allowed to fall.
Even In their private and
specific recommendations,
the four men are reported
to have found few areas
where the aid program
could be promptly termi-
mated. They did see prospects
Of PLEASING out military as
sistance in 10 European
countries over the next two
years but their major con-
tribution in this direction
was to impress officials who
appeared before them with
the Importance Of consider
ing the factor Of when aid
might usefully be terminated
as they develop their plans
for the individual nations.
In this and other aspects
Of the committees delibera-
tons, the major dissent
against existing policy lay in
the degree Of stringency, in
terms Of money and de-
mands upon the recipients,
with which the program is
being applied. Democrats
tend to be more OPEN
handed than bankers and
the four men inevitably
found places in which the
President had been more
responsive to appeals than
they would have been.
The focus Of this dissent
involves the use Of AID funds
for tactical purposes vot'
at the United Nations or
gesture toward a visiting heat
