Government Opens j Program To Cut Payment Deficits WASHINGTON (UPI) The government today opened an in tensified campaign to reduce the balance of payments deficit by luring dollars away from more attractive investment markets out side U.S. borders. H set off a chain reaction of economic forces expected to push up U.S. short-term interest rates slightly to make them more com petitive with those of foreign banks. The White House announced on Tuesday that President Kennedy would give Congress Thursday a progress report on the U.S. bal ance of payments problem which is a source of growing apprehen sion both here and abroad. Kennedy is not expected to pre scribe new, untried medicine. In stead, it is believed that he will recommend adhering to the pres ent policy, only with renewed efforts. lhe United States ended 1962 with a $2.2 billion balance of pav ments deficit. This shot up to an estimated annual rate of $3.3 bil lion during the first three months of this year. The payments gap the differ ence between dollars spent by U. S. citizens abroad and those that foreigners spend here has been serious enough in recent years to cause a sizable erosion of U.S. gold stocks. A good chunk of the deficit re sults from U.S. caoital being en ticed out of this country by for eign bankers offering higher in terest rates. The Federal Reserve Board moved to stem this Tuesday by authorizing seven reserve banks to increase the so-called "redis count" rate from 3 per cent to Hi per cent. This is the interest that a mem ber bank pays when it replenish es its capital by borrowing from the federal reserve system. It is considered the pace setter for all U.S. short-term interest rates. 1 T : Plaintiff Wins Suit Against Auto Firm ROBERT H.

Ore. 3 U.S. Presses Probe Of Illegal Sale Of Grains In W. Germany By ROBERT M. ANDREWS WASHINGTON (UPI) The United States today pressed its in vestigation of the illegal cash sale of $32 million worth of surplus U.S. government grains in nest Germany. Senate Republican leaders de manded a congresshnal inquiry. One said the case would "make Texas tycoon Billie Sol Estcs look like a Rhode Island piker." J. K.

They are Linda Burt, Ethel Har ris, Erie A. Rhodes, Frank Elst, Barhara Miller, Ella Mae Bishop, Janet Anderson, Iona K. McCord, Toni Olli-'ant, Gloria Doty and Roger Thrush.

State and Agriculture Depart ment officials, who have been looking into the case since Christ mas, said there was no evidence so far that the United States lost money in the deal or that any of the grain ended up behind the Iron Curtain. Under a barter agreement with Austria, the grain was to be ex changed for strategic materials such as industrial diamonds or platinum. Mansfield and Lester P. Condon, inspector general of the Agricul ture Department, said there was no evidence that the United States did not receive the miner als involved in the barter agree- ment. "The United States got dollar-for-dollar in the transaction," Condon said. But Mansfield did say the grains sales in Germany wors ened the U.S. balance of pay ments deficit. Tho government is now trying to determine whether private U.S. exporters under con tract to ship tho grains were in collusion with West German im porters, he added.
