Calls For Slash In Foreign Aid Costs Hoover Commission Urges Reduction WASHINGTON (IN8) —The Hoover commission called for a slash in foreign aid spending today but recommended that- the program be continued. The commission, headed by former President Herbert Hoover, proposed a broad retrenchment in the three billion, <OO million dollar overseas aid budget proposed by President Eisenhower for the coming fiscal year. The senate has approved an authorisation measure for this amount. However, many senators said they would take a second look at tbe spending proposals when the appropriation bill comes before them. The Hoover group — set up to

fiud where govom«ebt expenses can be cut — cited l» its report to congress on overseas economic operations an accumulated backlog of eight billion, *4OO million dollars in unexpended foreign aid funds. It called on congress to find out if this money does not permit “a substantial reduetion’' tn new appropriations. Eight of the 12 Hoover commit sion members supported drastic curtailment of the overall aid program. ! They said: “Surely, after almost 10 years, the time has come to apply some brakes to this overseas spending program. "We believe, therefore, that the commission should recommend substantial reductions in expenditures for this purpose. By no other means will the growing trend toward permanent foreign spending be halted.’* Those signing the statement included Rep. Clarence J. Brown, Ohio, an influential GOP leader. —S—I ... ,- - -

Van Wert’s Peony Festival Wednesday Van Wert Expects 100,000 Visitors VAN WERT, O. (INS) —The city of Van Wert is getting ready to take care of 100,000 visitors expected Wednesday for the first revival of their well known peony festival. The festival was a casualty of World War II and this will be the first renewal since IMl.’ There’s only one drawback to the big show—the peonies cafhe too early this year because of the early spring. But officials said they would still have enough on hand for a good showing. Two parades will be staged at 2 p. nt. and «:30 p. m. with about 40 floats and 40 bands from northwestern Ohio and Indiana. After each parade, the peony queen will

be crowned by Lt. Gov. John Drown la a epremeny at the high school stadium. This year’s queen is pretty Janice Gardner, an Ohio City high school senior.

Quality Os Farm Exports Is Poor Cite Poor Quality For Loss In Export WASHINGTON (INS) —lt may not come at this session of congress, but some legislative action is in the cards to improve the quality of U. S. farm exports. The question was discussed at some length last week at senate agriculture hearings on price support legislation. Poor quality has beer, cried oh a number of occasions and by many different sources as one reasonwperhape the mfajor one-why the U. S. hasn't been able to hang onto its markets overseas. Seq. George D. Aiken (R Vt„) former chairman of the committee and now its top Republican member, said that in the past “the tendency has been to put the dirty stuff into the export trade.” Aiken indicated that he would favor making the food and drug administration just as responsible for policing the quality of grain exports as it is for assuring the maintenance of sanitary standards for grain consumed in the U. S. Charles Marshall, president of the Nebraska Farm Bureau, told the committee about an unhappy experience he had met with during a trip to South Africa. Marshall said he was personally taken to task by an importer who was in the process of unloading a shipment of wheat from the U. S. The grain, the witness explained, was full of rather large pebbles and other foreign matter. The Nebraskan indicated. however, that in this particular case the foreign matter "could never have gotten through a combine.” The implication was that it happened after the grain left the country elevator. 'ln any case, Marshall said the irate Alfrican importer assured him he would never again buy U. S. wheat if he could get Canadian grain. He told the committee that this country has a splendid chance to expand its overseas market “if we clean up the quality of our products." This is one of the reasons why agricultural attaches in American embassies abroad were transferred from the jurisdiction of the state department to the agriculture department. The attaches are regarded, among other things, as glorified salesmen of U. S. commodities. It is understood that their reports from time to time have dealt rather caustically with the problem of poor quality. In Europe, for example, there have been complaints that numerous shipments of American wheat have been of poor milling quality.

| Indian Leader Will Visit United States Menon Is Due In Capital This Week WASHINGTON (INS) —Senate foreign relations chairman Walter F. George urged Americans today to make “every reasonable and profitable effort” to understant Asian-African leaders and pepole. His statement, carrying a special tribute to Indian prime minister Jawarhalal Nehru and >V. K. Krishna Menon, helped set the stage for the latter’s visit to Washington this week. The Georgia Democrat disclosed earlier that Menon told him 'before the Bandung conference that thia country would be “happily, surprised" at developments at the Afro-Asion meeting. George noted that "it turned out that way”-with some of the-Aaiaa leaders blasting Communism and defending the west in its efforts to block red aggression. George said that the “important moves in the world for the next decade or two will be in the Far East and Near East.” He said he had found Nehru and Menon "most interesting” leaders who represent their 'country “with real understanding of Asian problems and real appreciation of our vlrtues-and probably equal appreciation of our weaknesses.” In London, Menon, whose recent trip to Peiping is credited with helping to bring about the release of imprisoned Americans, let it be known he expects to confer with President Eisenhower during his Washington visit.
