J i 'k -4 1 t i . I Mansfield Asks Investigation of Viet Nam Waste Washington DPD Senate Democratic Whip Mike Mans field has called for an im mediate State Department in vestigation of charges of waste in the foreign aid program in Viet Nam. The Montana senator wrote Acting Secretary of State C. Douglas Dillion calling atten tion to the first of a series of articles on the program by Albert M. Cplegrove of the Scripps-Howard Newspapers. Serious Proportions Mansfield told Dillon that "the suggestion of maladmin istration which is contained in this article is of such serious proportions that I am con vinced that an immediate ex ploration of the situation is necessary." He said that if the rest of the articles sustain "the seri ous allegations contained in the first," he will urge Chair man J. William Fulbright (D- Ark.) to launch a full-scale investigation by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Disturbed by Charges Mansfield said he was par- ticulary disturbed by the fol lowing charges in the articles: -What may be excessive pay and emoluments for officers of the (aid) program in Saigon . . . coupled with a supercili ous, virtually 19th century mode of existence which can only dismay the Vietnamese people. - . Reported loss of adequate control over U. S. funds used in the program. -That adverse political con sequences in the country may result from "failure to ad minister this program in an effective and constructively oriented fashion."

Power is supplied by atomic reactor at left, separated from vehicle by a mile to protect passengers from radiation. Because of lack of gravity or air resistance in outer space, very little power will be needed, to propel a rocket, once it is lifted out of the earth's gravity field by more conven tional means. Such power can be supplie d by a mere beam of ions, or even light rays. ' " . . ; ' 9180 WAST Two seams plus waistband and mock-pocket flaps-presto! A new skirt to double your wardrobe.

Steel Supervisors Prisoners By Own Choice During Strike Aliquippa, Pa. -(DPD- Ru dolph Vogel, a Jones & Laugh lin Steel Corp. employee, is a "prisoner by choice" in the mill at which he has worked since 1937. He is one of about 500 sup ervisory personnel who hav.e stayed in the big plant here since Tuesday, a day before the nationwide strike began. They have the alternative of remaining in the mill or going out and being refused re- entrance ; by pickets of the United Steel workers Union. Most -of the men have chosen to stay in the plant to maintain blast furnaces and other equipment during the length of the strike. J&L has begun court action to guar antee "prisoners" here and at two other mills free access to their jobs. . " Vogel, a machine shop fore man, told united .Press in ternational by telephone that he has only one gripe about remainmg in the mill for the past seven days'. "There's nothing more dreary to an old-time steel man than an idle mill at night," he said, "and you feel it all the more when you have to remain here." . TlA steel veteran added, however, that it is "not too tough on us old-timers." "We've gone through this before -I guess you can say we're used to it. But the younger fellas, those guys that never did it before . . . some of them are taking it pretty rough," he said. "Especially those -with small kids." "But even some of the old timers are nervous, I guess it's the kind of temperament you have," he said. Vogel said that the men in the mill .range in age "all the way from about 23 to 65." 'Expected to Stay' The steel foreman, who lives in Aliquippa, said the men ex pected to stay "when we came to work on Tuesday." They brought along extra clothes. The men are sleeping on cots in their offices or in their shops, he said. He explained that the steel ' company has these "on hand all the time for emergencies." They have been eating their meals in the plant restaurant. Vogel has no gripes about this. . "I can't complain about the food. We can always go to the freezer." Vogel . said the men have "plenty to keep us occupied. There's always something to do." His wife recalled that when he left horde last. Tuesday he said, "Well, expect me when you see me." . How does she feel about his not having been home for six days? "They're just in there and that's it," , she said. "When you've been a steelworker's wife for a long time, you learn to expect things like this, and prepare for them." "Nobody feels very good about the strike," she added. "I have sons, and sons-in-law who aren't working at all." Then she said hesitantly, "we're hoping he'll be out in one or two days."
