In The-
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
As (his is written, President!
Kennedy is just about to meet
the two neutralist leaders who
have been sent to Washington as
emissaries from the conference of
24 neutral or "unaligned" nations
that met in Belgrade I capital of
Tito's Yugoslavia! some ten days
ago.
The two are President Sukarno
of Indonesia and President Modi
bo Keita of Mali. They have al
ready delivered to President Ken
nedy a letter calling for direct
negotiations between him and Pre
mier Khrushchev "to save the
world from the dangers of a nu
clear war."
President JFK has arranged to
meet them separately, taking on
Keita first and Sukarno second.
What about these emissaries?
Keita of Mali is small pumpkins.
His nation is so little that up to
now he has received from us less
than a million dollars in foreign
aid.
Sukarno is bigger game. He is
president of the Indonesian Re
public. He has had from us so
far 479 million dollars in aid, .the
third largest of all these "un
aligned" nations, exceeded only
by Yugoslavia which has had a
trifle more than two billion dol
lars, and India, which has had a
trifle under two billions.
At the Belgrade conference, Su
karno was an ardent backer of
Soviet policy and has been gen-!
erally regarded as a strong com
munist sympathizer.
Who are these "unaligned" na
tions? Let's take the space here
to name them. They are:
Yugoslavia, India, Indonesia,
United Arab Republic, Cambodia
Morocco, Tunisia, Afghanistan
Lebanon, Ethiopia, Burma, Iraq
Ceylon, Cuba, Sudan, Nepal, Sau
di Arabia, Congo Republic, Ye
men, Cyprus, Somali Republic,
Ghana, Guinea, Mali.
They are named here in the or
der in which they have received
foreign aid from us with Tito's
Yugoslavia at the top with a little'
over two billions and little Mali
down at the bottom with an
amount so small that it hasn't yet
been added up. It is supposed to
be somewhat less than a million
which in these days is hardly
cigarette money tor the big shots
up at the top.
Adding all the figures from
Tito's two billions at the top down
to little Mali's few hundred thous
ands at the bottom, it comes to a
total of Just over SIX BILLION
DOLLARS.
That is what we have paid these
"unaligned" nations in foreign
"aid." Over the years of the cold
war, you have read the news
from day to day. If, among these
24 neutrals, you can recall a SIN
GLE ONE that has ever come out
flatly ON OUR SIDE in ANY con
troversy that has arisen, you're a
better man than I am, Gunga
Din.
Almost without exception, theyl
have leaned toward the commu
nistswhich is natural enough in
view of the fact that with few
exceptions (one of the outstand
ing ones being Tunisia) their nil
ers are more in sympathy with
despotic communism than with
Western Democracy.
That raises a question:
Shall we call the six billions of
our treasure we have shelled out
to these 24 "unaligned" countries
foreign aid?
Or shall we be more realistic
and call it TRIBUTE?
Tribute is money paid to BUY
FRIENDS or to BUY OFF ene
mies. Looking through the list of
countries that have received our
bounty, it's pretty hard In escape
the conclusion that the money we
have been paying to them more
nearly resembles tribute than
friendly aid.

Jet Crush Kills
77 In Morocco
RABAT. Morocco (AP A
French jet airliner crashed into
ravine near Rabat Tuesday
night and burst into flame, kill
ing all 77 persons aboard.
Three U.S. citizens, an Arabian
prince, the Australian ambassa
dor to Cairo, a Moroccan diplo
mat and two Soviet citizens were
among the victims, said a spokes
man for Air France, operator of
the plane.
The twin-jet Caravclle airliner
was coming in from Paris for a
landing in a heavy fog and was
in radio contact with the Rabat
control tower.
Suddenly the radio cut out. A
few minutes later the plane
crashed.
Flames towered from the ra
vine as firemen raced for the
crash scene, about a half mile
from the airport.
The victims were 71 passengers
and 6 crew members.
Among the passengers listed by
Air France were three Ameri-I
cans: Neville Fowler, a Navy of
ficer from Pittsburgh; John
Brown, a Navy officer from Bay
side, Va., and W. Paige.an en
gineer w hose home address was

Other victims were John Quinn,
Australia's ambassador to the1
United Arab Republic; Moham
med Boufini, a member of Mo
rocco's Foreign Ministry; and two
Soviet citizens, Nicolai Moskim
and Vladimir Skouralove.
The Arabian prince was identi
fied as Prince Sukhri from the
oil rich sheikdom of Kuwait.
Most of the-victims were be
lieved to be French and Moroc

GM Peace
DETROIT (APi-Hopc vanished
today that General Motors Corp.
and the United Auto Workers Un
ion could reach agreement bv
Thursday on a new contract and
end crippling local-level strikes
that have closed more than 90 GM
plants.
The UAW, however, ordered all
local unions which already have
reached at-the-plant agreements
to go back to work, and it told
others to end strikes as quickly
as they reach settlements.
Hope of settlement was dashed
when the UAW called off a sched
uled 2 p.m. Thursday meeting of
its General Motors Conference,
which had been called to wrap up
a new three-year contract with the
world's largest automaker.
The UAW said, in effect, there
was no possibility of getting a suf
ficient number of at-the-plant!
agreements by Thursday where
strikes are in progress.
The union urged intensification
of local-level bargaining "to reach
sensible and satisfactory solutions
to local problems at the earliest
possible date." lt said the GM
conference meeting was being de
layed to permit local union offi
cers to remain at their plant bar
gaining tables.
More than 90 plants out of GM's
129 were idled by strikes in sup
port of local-level working agree
ment demands.
Some sources expressed the
opinion the conference meeting
was delayed because locals of pos
sibly a majority of the 280 mem
bers had not yet settled. Majority
vote rules in the conference.
Spokesmen for GM declined any
immediate comment on the delay
or its possible effects upon nation
al negotiations.
