SEVEN
U. S. Spending Millions to Expand
Education for Foreign Countries
By PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON This month the State Department's Informs-'
tion and Education Program for foreign countries begins tripling
operations under Assistant Secretary of State George V. Allen. For
Congress has stepped up the spending money from the $10,000,000 of
last year to $28,000,000 for next.
What this means is more Am
erican libraries and cultural cen
ters operating abroad, exchange
of more students and learned
men, more U. S. technical experts
to foreign governments, more
American documentary films
about the United States for show
ing to foreign audiences, and last
but not least, more "Voices of
America" programs beamed in
foreign languages to countries
where It Is Important that the
American story be told straight.
Biggest problem of "the Voice"
under Its new boss, Lloyd Leh
bas, is of course keeping out of
trouble at home. The present hul
labaloo in Congress over a series
of corny feature shows beamed
to Latin-America has resulted in

No Falsa Colors
Assistant Secretary Allen savs
that the aim is "to present our
civilization In its true color, which
Is gray not lily white.
We are willing to admit our
Imperfections and to tell the
truth as nearly as we can ascer
tain It."
To keep the American Voice
from going sour, an advisory
board is being appointed by the
White House. It will be headed
by Mark Ethrldge, Louisville pub
lisher, and will Include Erwln
Canham of the Christian Science
Monitor, Mark May of Yale Insti
tute of Human Relations and
Philip Reed of General Electric.
Of the $28,000,000 new money
which Congress Is putting into
V. a InfnrmaHnn inri tfrinroitinn
program, roughly $7,000,000 will
go to the Voice. Four and a half
million more will be spent on
! construction of new relay sta-
I tions abroad, so that the oro-
grams will have better reception
in foreign countries.
Another $4,500,000 will go for
the State Department dally wire
less bulletin some 6000 words
of condensed news sent to U.
S. diplomatic and consular offices
all over the world.
Two and a half million will
go for administrative expenses
and salaries In the U. S. bxpens.
ei abroad will be over $7,000,000
a year.
The final $2,000,000 of appro
priations will go to CEX, or the
Otiice of Educational Exchange.
Scier.e to Follow Up

open in foreign countries will be
increased to more than 80. A
