Maximize Foreign Aid It seems incredible that a government that spends millions of dollars on foreign aid and gives nuclear aid to opponents in a war could be stingy when it comes to foreign students in this country. But that is the case. A number of foreign graduate students and Fullbright scholars are at the University of Kansas participating in an orientation center. They are learning about American culture and improving their English skills in an intensive six-week session. That's not what I'm complaining about. Many of the students seem to be enjoying this session and are benefiting from it. The problem is that there are not more of these sessions. These sessions are offered only to the best foreign scholars for a simple reason—there are not many such sessions for such sessions to more students. The short-sightedness of our government seems apparent to me whenever I hear of foreign students getting a raw deal in the United States. It seems so obvious that the amount spent on orientation centers such as the one at KU must be a mere drop in the bucket compared to the expense of nuclear aid to Egypt. It is true that the benefits the United States would gain from helping foreign students are not immediately apparent. The students and their parents might be more grateful, and therefore help in foreign relationships. But the long-term advantages seem the greatest. It is sad that when we speak of helping other people we must also consider the world we live in, the world we receive. But that is how the world is run, for the present at least. The long-term benefits to the United States would indeed be great: When foreign students get a good introduction to our country, they are more likely to respond to their education and therefore return home having learned more. If they do so, they will be more helpful to their countries than any foreign aid we could give. Better orientation to the United States for foreign students could also help in improving our image abroad. And surely I won't be able to do that, so I could stand some improvement. Henry Kissinger notwithstanding. So be it. The U.S. government should give more aid for foreign orientation programs. There's not much we can do here but hone. In the meantime, we could make a little more effort to help foreign students at KU, whether by joining them or at least talking to them. —Kathleen Pickett Bv CLARK R. MOLLENHOFF IRS, Jaworski Hound Rebozo WASHINGTON, D.C.—Through a series of stalls, Charles W. (Bebe) Rebozo has avoided producing records on his financial dealings with President Nixon, but the President's best friend in serious trouble with the special prosecutor's office. Government Seeks Perjury, Income Tax Fraud Charges And the Internal Revenue Service, finally freed from the inhibitions of keeping the White House posted on all of its enforcement moves on the Miami real estate operator, is prepared to seek prosecution of Rebozo for federal income tax frauds. The possibility of perjury looms large in the testimony that Rebozo gave in executive sessions of the Senate Select Watergate Committee in its exploration of the mystery. In cash Rebozo received and 1970 from representatives of billionaire Howard Hewlett. Reports of the Federal Reserve Board on the serial numbers of the $100 bills that Rebozo says were kept in his safe from the time he received them custody doubt upon him. The investigators. The record demonstrates that some of those bills had not yet been It is Rebecca's contention that he received the $100,000 in cash in two bundles of $50,000 each at some vague date in 1969 or 1970 as a campaign for President Nixon's re-election. In his interviews with the Internal Revenue Service in 1973 and with Senate Watergate Committee investigators, Rebozo has told several different accounts of the times and places when he received the bundles of $100 bills. Some of these stories have been inconsistent with the testimony of representatives of Halbes and the physical circumstances in correlations with accountumations and delivery of the money. THIS SAME CASH was placed in a safe deposit box shortly afterwards, and Rebozo contends that it remained there for three years before being transferred in early 1973 at the suggestion of Nixon. circulated at the time Rebozo had initially said he received the money. Some aspects of the criminal investigation could result in rather rapid indictment of Rebozo, but the Special Prosecutor and the Internal Revenue Service are intent on trying to systematically unwind all aspects of his financial dealings with Mr. Nixon and others. That letter is a starting point for the staff of Special Prosecutor Jon Lawerski in its investigation of Jeffrey Epstein, with cash for any whom Nixon had in mind, whether it was a swimming pool or a new roof at Key Biscayne, or the purchase of his house, according to his seaside barge at San Clemente. Many questions pending about Rebozo's financial affairs could be answered by Nixon and are spelled out in a 18-page letter written on June 6 to White House Counsel James S. Clair by Senate Watergate Committee Chairman Sam Ervin, D.N.C. ALTHOUGH REBOZO has refused to make his financial books and records available to the Senate Watergate Committee or the Internal Revenue Service, both have concluded that far from being the friendly multi-millionaire who helped Nixon build a beautiful fortune, Rebozo has been living on borrowed money and mysterious cash. When a tax investigation of Hughes started three years ago, it led to Rebozo, but at that time he had the charmed life of a lawyer. Then he became President of the United States. It was labeled a "sensitive case," and the local tax agent treated Rebozo with a deference accorded to taxpayers, including what records they were seeking and why. The pattern of Internal Revenue Service favoritism for the President's pal involved everyone from the IRS agents in Florida to the lawyers at the federal prosecutor as Special Assistant John D. Ehrlichman. Quality Before Quantity The United Nations has designated 1974 as World Population Year. Delegates from all over the world will gather next month in Bucharest, Romania, for a population conference. Delegates undoubtedly will discuss recent U.N. statistics that indicate world population will be double next year from what it was in 1930. Because of advancements in medicine and agricultural technology, world population, based on current trends, will increase by more than 50 per cent by the year 2000. The consequences of exponential population growth are staggering. Clearly, if population increases faster than output of goods, including food, the standard of living must drop. Instead of concerning ourselves primarily with boosting quantity, we should be searching for ways to improve the elusive Quality of Life. In the United States, GNP freaks look at this relationship and demand increased productivity. Such a "solution," however, is a dead-end street in this finite world. The city bridge as high as we safely can bridge, you must concentrate on finding ways to lower the river. Quality of Life is adversely affected by such things as overcrowding and pollution. Quality of Life is incompatible with an ever increasing output of nonessential material goods, such as the annual gas-guzzling limousine. Experts have calculated that there is not enough available iron ore, bauxite, copper, lead or other essential minerals to give the world's present population the material goods that the average American family enjoys today. Clearly, if the United States doesn't limit its nonessential material growth, growth will be minimal. It is why America's GNP in the first two quarters of 1974 is a mild indication of what may come. The American economy today is an economy of waste. Material growth in America based largely on contrived demand will bring down future Quality of Life, impair the entire world unless American resources to essential production and human needs, such as agriculture, rebuilding our cities and educating all the people. Nonessential production is an anachronism in today's overpopulated, overpolluted, overexploited world. We must close the gap between our economy of waste and the realities of today's world. This must include zero population growth and a reordering of our spending priorities on both a national and personal level. Americans are using the world's resources as if there were no other people in the world and no future needs. The economy clearly needs planning. This is neither the world of Karl Marx nor of John Maynard Keynes. This is 1974, and the times demand fresh economics. Steven Lewis THE WATERGATE ARCHIPELAGO Looking for Fall Housing? Roommate Files and Housing Guides Are Now Available in the Student Senate Office. 105-B Kansas Union A Student Senate Service Financed with Student Activity Fees Even after Ehrlichman left on May 1, 1973, the newly installed White House chief of staff, Gen. Alexander Haig, showed an unusual degree of attentiveness in seeing Mr. Rubio with his finger on his knee and then Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox knew that "the Internal Revenue Service was giving Mr. Rebozo a clean bill . . . (aFAF) took more than investigation in years." There is evidence that the Cox investigation of Reboza caused the President to believe he was a conspirator. The Senate Watergate Committee and the special prosecutor have now reviewed in detail the IRS investigations of Rebezo and O’Neill, who are following favoritism for Nixon’s best friend. —FOR NO GOOD REASON the investigation of Rebozo was postponed —the reports on the investigation were handled through oral communications and then shared with authorities. -Essentially every major move in the investigation included advance notice to the NRA. No normal inquiry was made into irregular financial matters in the relevant periods of time when questions should have been asked and answered anonymously and evidence available to IRS officials. —the tax agent permitted Rebozo's attorneys, rather than the IRS, to obtain information. Now that the facade of great wealth has been pulled away, the special treatment has vanished, and Rebezo is for the first time in a city where years are being treated as any other citizen. destroy the credibility of third-party witnesses. —There were no efforts to conduct autobiographical interviews with Rebozo even after the IRS had learned Rebozo had changed his name and placed on his places of delivery of large nurses of care. - Tax agents confided to Rebozo that the IRS did not intend to pursue a criminal investigation of his financial affairs, even though there were outstanding questions involving large sums of money and a refusal by Rebozo.
