The Idea has won enthusiastic approval of a bipartisan majority of the Senate. The House Foreign Affairs Committee, bowever, voted to limit the program to one year Instead of three as Presi dent Eisenhower proposed. The fol lowing dtspatrh tells how the new plan would work. BY JOHN B. HOLLISTER Director, International Cooperation Administration Washington (IP) President Eisenhower's proposal to shift the emphasis of U.S. economic development assistance to friend ly foreign nations to loans in stead of gifts should be wel comed by every American tax payer. In brief, the President has asked Congress to appropriate $500 million out of this year's mutual security program to establish a development loan fund. To operate effectively, this fund must have adequate money and adequate planning time. Therefore, the President has also asked Congress to authorize the government to borrow from the treasury up to $750 million in each of the two following years to finance the fund in those years. This three-year total of up to $2 billion represents less than a half of 1 per cent of our own New car registration figures for the month of April prove something we've anticipated all along. The big, beautiful '57 Mercury is now tops in this area in its price class! Surprising? Not in the least! This year, of all years, the Big M has so much more of everything sought by drivers here in the West. Mercury's styling is fresh, distinctive; reflects nothing of the past, or of any other car harmonizing with every idea of Western living at its best MAIL TRIBUNE Time yearly gross national product, which is running at the rate of $420 billion. If this fund fulfills its purpose of speeding economic develop ment among almost a billion peo ple, the dividends to the United States will far exceed the in vestment. These proposals of the President's are now before Con gress. The Senate has already authorized these requests in full. Change ia Emphasis The new proposal signify a fundamental change in emphasis from the practice of past years and would accomplish the follow ing important improvements: The A m e r ican taxpayers would know how much money was going toward helping the economic development of friend ly nations, and would know that all of it was one a loan basis. Foreign nations will know that the United States has cer tain limited funds $2 billion over three years available f9r loans for really worthwhile projects that will contribute significant ly to building economic strength. All parties will know this money is available until used and not, as in the past, for a limited number of months. This, I am convinced, is the LEADER IN ITS WHY OREGON MERC Tuesday.

The very creation of the fund will in spire borrowing nations with a greater sense of zeal and respon sibility. Loans, rather than gifts, will encourage self-reliance, and the long term availability of the fund will encourage thoughtful long-term planning rather than frantic emergency action. Purpose of Fund About a billion people almost one-third of the world's popula tion live in the underdeveloped areas, particularly in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. The ev erage income is about $100 a year, in contrast to about $2,500 in the U.S. Malnutrition, pov erty, sickness takes such a toll that their life e x p ectancy is about 30 years, in contrast to 70 in the United States. Nineteen of these nations have achieved political indepen dence since World War II. They are determined to achieve econ omic growth and independence too. However, they do not have adequate capital and foreign ex change to begin essential devel opment in roads dams, dailroads, utilities the very sinews of economic growth. They must turn to the outside for help. jYMn CT57 FIELD BY LATEST FIGURES Handling qualities?

Among the Married When at the age of 18 Oona O Neill married Charles Chap lin, she said, "I expect to have seven children." Nobody paid much attention to the remark. That's what all the celebrated brides say. However, evidently Oona meant it. She has had six children and after the birth of her last child she said, "I am going to have one more child That will be seven, just as said I would have on my wed ding day." Her husband, who is 68, said he was in accord with the idea. Secretaries The average salary of execu tives secretaries in New York City is about S80 a week.
