Very soon now we shall have the oppor tunity of tapping one of America's greatest resources the intelligence, charm, and energy of its youth. The American Peace Corps has been, established on a temporary basis by order of President Kennedy pending final action by the Congress. Before this year is out, our young men and women will be serving their country overseas in occupations rang ing from teaching to engineering, from housebuilding to husbandry. No other step, in my opinion, can do more to create a bond of friendship between us and other nations. I have good reason to know this is true, and here is -why: A U.S. official sat beside a tribal chief tain in Iran watching a tanned American youth. The'latter was one of a visiting task force of agricultural experts. Beyond the field in which he worked, the faintly visible . Kurdistan Mountains marked the Iron Cur tain of Russia where Communist sentries stood guard. '...,.... The chief, an orthodox Moslem, sat on a small rug under the bright sky. "That boy out there," he said. "I never knew what a real Christian was until he came to work with its." "Our boys are farm experts, not mission aries. How do you know about this?" the American asked. "He lives his religion in everything he does," the Moslem replied. "He is one of us. And you are my brother." In another case, the head of an African village watched half-naked youths laying Family Weekly, April 30, 1961 Peace Corps' volunteers will soon join other American personnel abroad to help share U.

Reuss (D.-Wis.) has been called a "god father" of the Peace Corps. Married in 1924, he has four children reason enough for his determination to add a new dimension to our foreign activities. He first pre i tented Peace Corps legislation to Congress in collabo ration toith the late Sen. Richard Neuberger of Oregon. Last year, it was his amendment to the Mutual Security Act that obtained funds for the study that demonstrated the Corps' usefulness. It was his activity in the House and that of Sen. Hubert Humphrey (D.-Minn.) in the Senate which attracted the support of President Ken nedy. This is his story of how the Corps was bom. tew Rep. Henry S. Reuss rows of cinder blocks. They were building the village's first school. Two were white skinned, others black. The African breathed deeply; what he wanted to say did not come easily. White men had ravished his land of its gold, diamonds, ivory. Along the coast, 24 stone forts still stood where slave deal ers had once imprisoned their captives un til the slave ships came. "We've never known white men who would work by our side," the African said. "After today, we shall bury the past and toil together in brotherhood." These incidents only hint at the ultimate value of our new Corps. Because I was one of its godfathers, critics have called me a visionary. But they also have said, "Di plomacy is a man's work. How can kids succeed where diplomats fail?" LET ME EXPLAIN: In 1957, I visited Cambodia, one of a group of Congressmen investigating the use of our foreign-aid money. We were motor ing along a magnificent highway built by American funds. Our guide said, "This road cost $30 million to build." "Who uses it?" I asked. We were passing between deserted, tangled fields. He pointed at a barefooted Cambodian who was leading his water buffalo along the road's shoulder. Except for our car and that man, the road was empty mile after mile. The question asked itself: How else might we have spent that money to serve more people? A town, in a remote valley gave me the answer. Four young Americans joined me at lunch and described their exciting work. They had been schoolteachers back home; now they were hurrying from one Cambo dian village to another, starting schools for people who had suddenly gone mad for freedom and education. "So many villages want us," they said, "and we are so few." From that day to this, I have sought a way to enlist the know-how and ener gies of our young people in a Peace Corps. College students are eager to help, as both President Kennedy and I have learned. But important questions emerge. Is the need genuine? Will young people be ac cepted by guest countries and given mean ingful tasks to perform? Do our modem youths have the fortitude and know-how required by primitive conditions? Several of us who believed in the Peace Corps turned to the experience of private organizations who have sent young Ameri cans overseas for years the Mennonites, Friends, Mormons, and other religious groups, for instance. In New York City, I discovered Operation Crossroads Africa, Inc., which has flown work-study groups of teen-agers to many African countries. In Washington, D.C., I learned about a project called International Voluntary Services. They showed me thick files of letters re questing help. AT the Top of the list was teaching. Two-thirds of the people of Asia, Africa, and Latin America are illiterate. Literacy is the first step toward self-government. Almost every new nation has begged us for teachers of English, home eco nomics, and household arts. Next, most new nations need more food. In Vietnam, rural families earn about $50 a year. Their diet is mostly rice. Their life expectancy is 35 years. Will our young ambassadors be ac cepted? The evidence is overwhelming that they will be. Each community moves to ward friendship at its own pace, according to. those who have worked in the field.
