Istm atrpnrv might 1 Washington - (UPD - Presi dent Eisenhower sent to Con gress today a report ac knowledging waste and mal administration in the foreign aid program and calling for steps to end it. .The report also recommend ed that nations receiving aid seek, to guarantee increasing ly honest government at their end. , - The report, prepared by a presidential study committee of former government of ficials, was transmitted to Congress by Eisenhower with out comment. The committee,, headed by William" H. DraDer Jr.. also recommended long-range fi nancing of the overseas - de velopment loan fund, a pro posal that the President him self once opposed. Congress has approved a compromise bill, now on the President's des awaiting nis signature, which authorizes $3,556,200,000. in foreign aid spending during the current fiscal year. v -Big Baltl Ahead But the big foreign aid battle, in which charges of waste and maladministration will play a large part, is. still to come. The compromise bill merely "authorizes" expendi tures and Congress still must put up the actual money. The Presidential commit tee said its members were '.'aware of the charges of waste and maladministration made in connection with our aid Droeram." but added: While we believe that the administration and coordina tion of these programs has improved in recent years, there is no question but that some of these criticisms are justified. "However, the conclusion we reach is that the programs must be continued and better administered, not emasculated or abandoned." It recommended creation of a single federal agency to ad minister all economic aid pro grams now scattered through out the goverment under gen eral supervision of the State Department. One Responsible Unit t The ' committee suggested that the proposed single for- Cuba rgartozed Labor COoDds 24-Mour StrSCie.To Remand Mum off Castro To Power eign aid agency might be made a semi-autonomous unit within the State Department. But it definitely favored set ting up the agency outside the department as an independent unit of government with basic responsibility for all major related economic assistance programs. ' The committee also said in ternal conditions of countries receiving U.S. aid are of equal importance. . It recommended that the U.S. Vinsist" that aid ed nations meet these condi tions: .'

Havana-(UPD-Havana, a city of more than a million people, and the rest of Cuba were paralyzed for one hour today by a strike called by organ ized labor to demand the re turn of Fidel Castro to power. Exactly at 10 a.m. Havana time, the whole city's work ing force, with the exception of those persons in the most urgent jobs, walked out. Roadblocks Erected Roadblocks were erected throughout the city to pre vent movement of any traffic and the quiet was broken only by the conversation of workers idling in the streets and sporadic parades of indi viduals demanding that Castro return to power. The strike was so effective that not even the cable com panies were allowed to oper ate and the telephone com pany refused to take long dis tance calls unless they were urgent. Wednesday, the giant. Cu ban Confederation of Labor headed by David Salvador de creed the one-hour strike in order to demand the return of Castro as prime minister. Asked People To Halt Salvador not only urged the workers to go off. their jobs but asked that people, regard less of what they were doing, halt their activities during the hour in order to identify themselves with the move ment of support for the revo lution. Wednesday night, Castro said in an emotional television appearance that he would al low the people themselves to decide on Sunday whether he will return to the prime min istership. 1 After the hour-long strike was over, crowds continued to mill about; in front of the Presidential Palace There was little doubt here that the mass rally to which Castro will direct his query Sundav would keen him on the job with wild acclaim. Peasants Enter Capital The rallv. celebrating tne sixth anniversary of the state of Castro's revolution, will be swelled by machete wielding neasants who have been streaming into the capital by tens of thousands.
