FURTHER PROOF OF the
waste, mismanagement and total
disregard of the interests of the
taxpayer which characterize the
American foreign aid program is
found in a recently-released letter
and Congressional Committee re
port
erican manufac
turers. The report is that of the
House Committee on Government
Operations which discloses that
ICA has, “let nearly a billion dol
lars in contracts without clearly
formulated standards for their
award and administration” and
which concludes that ICA’s admin
istration of overseas building pro
jects is “inadequate, indifferent and
incompetent” and its bidding pro
cedures “a type of Russian rou
lette.”
* * *
THE RAFLER LETTER was
written to the American Cotton
Manufacturers Institute offering
loans to any of its members “in
terested in establishing textile
plants in Indonesia” and stating
ICA was “prepared to insure such
investments against the political
risks of expropriation, inconverti
bility of currency and war dam
age.” It additionally offered to
finance the training of native
workers for such factories and to
Install utilities not available at
desirable plant sites.
The House Committee cited the

New Motorcycle
Found in Little
Satilla River
The mystery of the new
Harley - Davidson motorcycle
found in the Little Satilla River
has not been solved, it is reported
by Brantley County sheriff J.
Walter Crews. *
The motorcycle was found by
some boys while fishing in the
Little Satilla River near Twin
Rivers Monday, Sept. 1. The boys
saw signs of gasoline rising from
the water about a half mile be
low the river bridge. They noti
fied the sheriff an the new mo
torcycle was dragged from the
river.
The machine was straight-wir
ed and no key or tag was found.
It is believed the machine was
stolen somewhere and run off the
bluff into the river. The speed
ometer registered 27 miles and
the tank was about half full of
gas.
Anyone having information a
bout a new Harley-Davidson mo
torcycle is requested to contact
sheriff Walter Crews of Brantley
County.

THE USE OF foreign aid funds
to subsidize textile plants abroad
is a perfect illustration of the man
ner in which tax dollars paid by
American businessmen are being
spent to finance the foreign compe
tition which is destroying their
domestic markets. It is another case
of this nation attempting to do
for people in other countries what
it either is unable or unwilling to
do for our own citizens here at
home.
The Committee Report places the
blame for the failure of American
foreign aid projects to produce any
positive or lasting results on the
“way our program is conducted.”
Thinking Americans will agree
with its conjecture that “if the
scope, cost and lack of economic
justification for some of these proj
ects were made known tc the Con
gress before funds are appropri
ated, many of them might be
disapproved and appropriations
