WASHINGTON 11 Tola! l.S.
foreign aid aince World War II
will climb above the 1100-billmn
mark this year.
How well the giant oversea!
assistance program promotes
U. S. security and how it could
be refashioned to do a better
job is the subject of a control
versial report by a presidential!
advisory committee headed by
Gen. Lucius D. Clay.
Aides said a final version of;
the Clay report was made avail
able to President Kennedy
Thursday. The report is ex-
pected to be made public this
weekend.
Figures furnished by the
Agency for International De
velopment, which administers
U.S. aid, list $97.7 billion worth
of military and economic help
to 111 countries and foreign
Croups from July 1, 1945
through mid-1962.
Topping Z Billion
Though detailed statistics for
the current fiscal year have not
yet been worked out, the over
all total is certain to push past
$100 billion. That's because Con
gress last fall voted another $3.9
billion in new aid funds and
other Items like surplus food
disposals abroad have been top
ping $2 billion a year.
France, with $9.4 billion, and
Britain, with $8.7 billion, still
rank 1-2 as the largest total re
ceivers of postwar American
aid. The Western allies got the
. bulk of their U.S. financial help
in the early postwar years when
the Marshall Plan focused on
European recovery.
Far More to Asia

Charti
(AP Wlrepholo)
Chart shows the ten largest recipients
, of U.S. foreign aid in the fiscal year
which ended last June 30. Statictics
; are from the aid-administering agency,
the Agency for International Develop
ment. India received the biggest
.amount, $638.1 millions, while Japan
received the least, $162.1 millions. .
Today, the aid pattern is dif
ferent. With Europeans now
prosperous and dispensing aid
themselves, U.S. aid now focuses
on under-developed countries
and poorer lands pressed by the
Communists.
Thus, far more American as
sistance has gone to nations like
India, Korea, South Vict Nam
and Turkey since the end of the
Marshall Plan in 1952 than to
West European countries.
In 1962, India was the biggest
U. S. aid recipient with $838
million, bringing her over-all
total to nearly $4 billion. Pakl
with $439 million, making a $1.9
billion total. Turkey got $356
million for a $3.9 billion total
while Korea received $345 mil
lion, pushing her total to $5.4
billion. ".,
., Other Changes, Too
France, with $51 million, and
Britain, with $25 million are
still listed as U. S. aid receivers
in 1962 but this is all in arms
assistance connected with the
common North Atlantic defense
effort.
American aid has undergone
other changes, too. In the 1949
52 Marshall Plan years, all but
si an was next highest in 1062 $3 billion of the $19 billion in
Algeria Waits Paris Reply
To Demand for A-Test End
ALGIERS Hi The Algerian
government waited uneasily
Thursday for an answer to ils
demand that France end nu
clear testing in the Sahara.
Premier Ahmed Ben Bella
and the Algerian National As
sembly made the demand
Wednesday in calling for revi
nion of the agreement giving
France military bases in Algeria
and its Saharan territory.
Trouble is sure to follow if
French President Charles tie
O.aullo Ignores the plea, as he
did Tunisia's demand in July,
1061, for French evacuation of
the Bucrle base. The Tunisians
attacked the base, and 3,000
lunisian lives were lost.
There was no official com
ment in' Paris on the Algerian
demand.
Ben Bella's demand for revi
sion of the military agreements
was prompted by an under
ground atomic explosion which
the Algerians said France set
off in the Sahara testing ground
Monday. The Algerian Assembly
approved his stand by a near
unanimous vote.
The French lest violated the
sovereignly of newly independ
ent Algeria and was "a direct
menace against the population,"
Ben Bella tnld the assembly.
The premier implied that he
would demand reduction of
France's slay in all the Alge
rian bases it retained under the
Evian independence agreements
and a pledge not to use them
for nuclear tests in the interim
U. S. overseas economic help
went out as grants, or gifts. By
1962 the emphasis had changed
to easy term loans aimed at
stimulating economic develop
ment. Of. the $5.2 billion in U.S.
economic aid dispensed in 1962,
$2.9 billion was in loans and
$2.3 billion in grants. The $1.5
billion in arms aid, however, re
mained almost entirely grants
as before.
Wider Range Used
Of the $97.7-billion cumula
tive total, $66.6 billion has been
in economic aid of which $42.7
billion was grants. Military as
sistance totaled $31 billion, all
except $279 million in grants.
The American aid program al
so has used a wider variety of
measures in recent years, rang
ing from food-for-peace dispos
als of U. S. farm surpluses to
the Peace Corps.
The biggest of the new pro
grams doilarwise is food-for-
pcace. Accounting for only a
negligible portion of the U. S.
aid total in Marshall Plan
years, the food-for-peace outlay
was listed at $1.6 billion in
1962. The 1962 spending for the
Peace Corps, a Kennedy inno
vation, was reported at $29.6
million.
Remains in Hospital
CANOGA PARK, Calif. (Unt
rained deadpan Comedian Bus
ter Keaton, 66, remained in a
hospital Thursday, but doctors
said they expected him to be
released in another day or
two." Keaton was admitted to
West Hills Doctors Hospital last
Sunday suffering from a minor
respiratory ailment.
