Congress to Ask Clay How to Cut Aid Waste
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Congressional leaders indicated today they want to hear from Gen. Lucius D. Clay on how his Presidential Committee would cut waste from the foreign aid program.
THE REPORT said its recommendations for streamlining the foreign aid program could have cut the foreign aid program now in effect by $1.5 billion if they had been made last year. Congress cut $1 billion from the President's $4.9 billion request last year.
The Clay committee did not make recommendations on the foreign aid request now before Congress — the same $4.9 billion asked, but not received, last year. However, the committee's waste-trimming tone was welcomed by Congressional budget cutters.
The special committee said the United States was trying to do "too much for too many," especially for countries that did not seem to want to help themselves. However, the committee made few specific recommendations, leaving that up to Congress and the Administration.
Chairman Thomas E. Morgan, D-Pa., of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said yesterday that his group would call Clay, who headed a Presidential committee named to review foreign aid operations.
Sen. J. William Fulbright, D-Ark, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations committee said he hoped Clay or other members of his panel would also appear before the Senate group to discuss the report they submitted to Kennedy Saturday.

AFL-CIO President George Meany, dissented. He said that aid funds should be substantially increased. Meany also said the report failed to document its criticisms and ignored the role of labor unions in helping other nations.
REACTION to the Clay committee's report ranged from a sharp condemnation by Americans for Democratic Action (ADA) to some GOP complaints that the proposed cut didn't go far enough.
The Clay group said that there was no doubt of the "great value of properly conceived and administered foreign aid programs to the national interest and of the continuation of the foreign assistance dollar in such programs to the service of our nation's security."

De Gaulle Woe Increasing No Hope Seen In Mine Strike
PARIS — (UFI) President Charles de Gaulle, his hopes of European economic leadership plagued by growing labor unrest, faced the threat today of a possible nationwide strike by France's 2-million-man nationalized labor force.
The stage was set yesterday when union leaders of 200,000 striking coal miners reaffected a government offer that would boost salaries 8 per cent over a 6-month period.
Railway, utility, postal and airline workers also are pressing wage demands and threatening to extend nuisance walkouts.
Some observers say a general strike may be in the offing unless the government switches tactics.
NO NEW NEGOTIATIONS were scheduled.
The nationalized workers are angry about De Gaulle's efforts to keep production costs down by keeping wages in nationalized industries below the average of private industry.
The government claims its action is necessary to forestall inflation and keen prices level.
WORKERS CLAIM they have suffered severely because of a sharp cost of living increase.
De Gaulle's hopes of leading a European economic surge are tied to keeping the franc strong.
He also hopes to sever Europe's economic and military dependence on the United States and create a neutralist "third force" between Washington and Moscow.
The miners, who receive an average monthly wage of $148.40, are now in the 25th day of their strike.
36 DAYS THAT CHANGED THE PERFORMANCE PICTURE IN AMERICA
In 36 days, starting with the Monte Carlo Rallye in January of this year, our products have posted a series of competition wins that have made performance history. Here's what has happened:
Three V-8 Falcon Sprints were entered in the Monte Carlo Rallye. This is not a race. It is a trial of a car's total capabilities. We did it (nervously) for the experience and with practically no sense of expectation, because we had not entered an event like this before. One Sprint ended the experiment in a snowbank. But the others finished 1-2 in their class with such authority that they moved the good, grey London Times to say: "The Falcons are part of a power and performance plan that will shake up motoring in every country in the world." That was Number One.
Then, at Riverside in California, in America's only long-distance stock car event that is run on a road course (as opposed to closed circuit, banked tracks such as the track at Daytona), Dan Gurney pushed a Ford to first place.
Number Two was a double win in the Pure Oil Performance Trials. Fords captured Class 1 and Class 2 (for high performance and large V-8's). Both of these trials were for over-all points rolled up in economy, acceleration and braking tests.
The latest news comes north from Daytona. There in the open test that tears cars apart—the Daytona 500—Ford durability conquered the field. Fords swept the first 5 places . . . something no one else had equaled in the history of the event. In a competition —which anyone can enter—designed to prove how well a car hangs together, 9 Fords finished out of 12
entered . . a truly remarkable record considering that over 50% of all cars entered failed to finish.
Why do we keep such an interested eye on competitions such as these? Is speed important to us? Frankly, no. The speed capabilities of the leading American cars are now grouped so closely together that the differences have no real meaning.To us, who are building cars, success in this kind of competition means just one thing: the car is strong. This kind of performance capability means that the car is so well built that it can stand up to normal driving—the kind of day-in, day-out demands you put your own car through-for thousands of miles longer than less capable cars.
In tests like the Daytona 500 and Riverside, we find out in an afternoon what might take us 100,000 test-track miles to discover. We learn how to build superior strength into suspension systems, steering systems, drive train, body, tires. Anyone can build a fast car. What we're interested in is the concept of "total" performance.
We believe in this kind of total performance because the search for performance made the automobile the wonderfully efficient and pleasurable instrument it is today—and will make it better tomorrow.
