Congressman Alexander Tells Of Abuses F oreien Aid Program Representative Hugh Alexander, back home from a 5-week look at foreign aid projects, thinks it's time "some of those countriei started helping us. "Why some of them ? West Ger many, Great Britain and Japan ? are better off than we are. Their budgets are in better shape. Their people are working. I don't mean their standard of living is as high but financially the government's better off." The Congressman stated that in foreign countries where the Unit ed States is dumping billions of dollars in aid the competition is grave and frightening, to Amer ican business "Unless we find the answers to this problem of competition," Al exander said, "the United States will be forced out of the world market" "Right now," he said, "we cannot possibly compete with foreign business, with cheap la bor, new equipment and stream lined methods." "In Japan and other countries", Alexander said, "modern factories pre turning out radios, household appliances, textiles, motors and ?utomobiles. The workers are en thusiastic about their jobs and the management eagerely grabs every opportunity to get greater shares of the world markets. "And thy are going to ship as much as they can into the United States." Regarding the foreign aid pro gram, Alexander said he came home convinced that "we'd be much better off if we cut down the spending and confine our gifts to the things that help the people themselves. We'd have better pro jects and the people would have more respect for us." He said he and three other members of the House Subcom mittee on Foreign Aid had found many cases of program "cutbacks" in projects throughout the world. He said the "big lever" in such action had been in Congress. Foreign countries, he said, are "out to get everything they can from us, and everywhere we got the same old story ? their's was a key country and we must help them or the gates will swing open to Communism." Some of the countries that have received great sums in aid from the United States are "now living well and should become partners in the world-wide help program," Alexander said. He mentioned Japan, "the lead ing country in the Far East"; Thai land, which is growing industrial ly, especially in textile manufac turing; Germany; England. Alexander said the touring Con gressmen found "evidence of con siderable waste" in the foreign aid program that costs the United States some 3V4 billion dollars a year. He said specific recommen dations would be presented dur ing the Congressional hearings that will begin early in 1960. "A look's a lot better than reading about it," commented Al exander, ' who said this was his first trip abroad since his World War II military days.

Liming Proves Popular Here More than the usual number of farmers will carry out the liming practice oo their farms in Watauga county this fall, according to Vaughn Tugman, county ASC chairman. This is indicated by the large number of farmers who have filed requests for cost-sharing at the ASC office during the past few days. The county committee has obli gated funds for this practice for1 at least 1,000 tons of this material. Farmers have found it is* advis able in most cases to apply lime stone in the fall on land to which grasses and legumes will be seed ed in the following spring. It is often difficult for deliveries to be made in time since the seeding sea son is so short and weather condi tions are uncertain. It is also a good time to test the soil for lime and fertilizer needs for the next two years. If all rec ommendations of the tests are fol lowed it is only necessary to take the tests every two years. It is a simple matter to follow the easy instructions and the time involved will be well recompensed by the results obtained. Boxes and instructions are avail able at the ASC and other agricul tural offices. The ASC office will mail your boxes to the testing lab oratory free of any charge, and the report will be mailed back directly to the farmer. Farmers still interested in car rying out the liming practice this fall should contact the ASC office at once. VETERANS DAY SET President Eisenhower has pro claimed Nov 11 as Veterans Day.
