THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1003 MEDFdM lTt THlH, MEDFORD. CMJOWI Birlh Control Provision Tacked To Aid Program WASHINGTON (UPI) - The Senate Foreign Relations Com mittee, in a move certain to trigger a political uproar, has urged the administration to sup ply birth control information to underdeveloped nations seeking to "maintain a reasonable bal ance of population and re sources." The committee's amendment, sponsored by Chairman J. Wil liam Fulbright (D-Ark.) was tacked on to a $4.2 billion for eign aid authorization bill sent to the Senate for action by the committee Tuesday. It marked the first time the committee had specifically authorized aid funds for such use. Trimming Expected The committee bill, headed for expected trimming in the Senate, fell below the $4.5 bil lion asked by President Ken nedy. It was about $700 million more than the $3.5 billion voted by the House, however. The bill, with its emotion charged birth control amend ment, comes up for formal con sideration by the Senate Mon day, although there was a chance that Fulbright would de liver his opening statement to day. A floor fight seemed likely. At present the Agency for In ternational Development (AID), which oversees the program, is not legally barred from dispens ing birth control information, though it has not done so. EXPLOSIVE RICHMOND, Va. (UPI) - A high school student here was discouraged about a chemical mixture he was preparing in his basement laboratory. He called his teacher to list the in gredients and ask for advice. "Don't touch anything," I h e teacher sputtered. Next the teacher notified Army auhori lies asking them to send a bomb demolition squad to the boy's home. The student had unwittingly concocted a quart of nitroglycerin. PACIFIC MexifoCityN.

By JAIME PLENN United Press International MEXICO CITY (UPl)-Mod-ern Mexico is the product of four major revolutions in the last 450 years, and of a terri tory of highly diversitieel lopog raphy and climates, as well as of a population with a wide range of ethnic, social and eco nomic influences. The Spanish conquest in the third decade of the 16th cen tury was the beginning of the consolidation of Mexico as a na tion. This revolution brought a new religion and a new way of life to an area ot semi-nomadic tribes and of established native Indian empires sucn as the Az tec and Maya. It also estab lished the biological basis for today's typical Mexican ihc "Mestizo" a mixture of Span iard and Indian. The political revolution that brought Mexico independence from Spain in the struggle from 1810 to 1X21 ended the colonial status of a land whose territory extended from Central America f a r northward to much of what is today the United States' Southwest and Far West. vanced constitution in 11)17, a document which has been the blueprint for construction of to day's Mexico.

As a result of the provisions of Article 27, Mexico was able to expropriate the foreign owned petroleum properties in 1938. The government by then already owned the railroad sys tem, and the domestic tele graph system, and later ac quired the international lines, as well as radio communica tions. Last August, the Mexi can Telephone Company gave the government a 40 per cent interest and a place on the board of directors. Three years ago the govern ment bought out the electric power systems owned by two international combines, and there has been official talk about taking over all Mexican airlines and setting up a single Mexican flag line. The government also owns steel mills, meat packing plants, motion picture theaters fertilizer plants, hotels, auto mobile assembly plants, and many other industries and businesses. .lobs Arc Scarce Labor is cheap and the labor market is chronically over crowded. That is why this country has accepted, with some reluctance, the annual temporary emigration of sever al hundred thousand farmhands (braceros) to the United States. The braceros also bring in a substantial amount of dollar a i exchange. And their oxo'tns helps relieve some of the cco- nomic pressure, especially in the rural areas. I The daily minimum v;i''r in Mexico City is 17.50 pesos (un ! dor $1.50 in U.S. money), and in most other places it has i been much lower. Assembly line sKitied workers in most ! plants earn in a day what their counterparts make in an hour.

The ;t() or more native tribes in various parts of the country speak that many dialects. Although education has made great strides (the government spends more in this field than it does on the armed forces), ; the actual number ot illiter ates in the country is greater than 20 years ago. But (he per centage of illiteracy has gone down substantially. Rural under - development, in contrast to expanding indus trialization, accounts for an other basic problem the lack of domestic markets to con sume what the newly built fac tories can produce This low purchasing power has slowed the country's growth, and no ' real solution is in sight.
