This improvement regrettably is off set by an almost continuous jam on X. Main St in the southbound lane north from Center St This new problem, of course, is occasioned by the closing of X. Prospect St for construction of the second overpass. WE HAD anticipated there would be snarls north of the railroad crossings when they were blocked but we were not quite prepared for the size of lineups for signal light changes at the Main and Center St intersection. i The volume of traffic through the ritv simply is increasing at a rate so fast it is dificult to comprehend.

Local and out-of-town motorists endured the closing of X. State St. in good spin! and no doubt wiD be able to survive the inconvenience caused by the X. Prospect St construction in similar fashion. Nevertheless, it will be wonderf uJ to nave both overpasses open hopefully by the end of this year.

His walk caused little stir in a state whose white supremacists once had been in a state of mass hysteria over Negro "rights." That, itself is a victory.

The food, donated by America to relieve a supposed Egyptian famine, was to go to the famished and poverty- crrirllf.n Df-Ofjle Of the LAR. Vieim atwael The S. sent it several years back. Virtual!" none of it was distributed to allegedly stricken areas. -Most of it was sold by Premier Nasser's military junta.

No one knows to this moment, least of all the American State Dept. and the responsible AID mission, what actually occurred except that we did deliver 186.000 metric tons rf corn worth $23.7 million at least. Since this foodstuff was to go to he urban working people and the supposedly starving small farmers. I traced down a chap I have covered in Cairo and at other international conferences. HE IS AHMED FAHEEM, president of the UAR Federation of Labor, now the Egyptian workers' delegate to the 1LO 51st general ses-sioo here.

He would have nothing to do with Americans. During his stay here he had developed a multiple political sclerosis. His friend and ally, Anwar Salama, who had come here as UAR Minister of Labor, had been dumped by the pro-Soviet Cairo government and had been replaced in the cabinet back home by a hsxd-picked. trusted Soviet loyalist. So the documents in my possession and those in the files of the U.S.

General Accounting Office must speak for themselves. And they tell this story of outright UAR em-bezzlement of American foodstuffs which could have gone to starving lands across the world. For some six years now, efforts have been made to learn what happened to the $23.7 million cargo. The story begins in late 1961. At that time Nasser's government informed the U.S.

State Dept. that Cairo expected a grim crop failure. "Insect infestation," plant disease and floods would virtually wipe out the harvest. Tens of thousands would die of starvation. In addition to the hundreds of millions of dollars worth of aid, Cairo said it would need 200.000 metric tons of corn.

This was quickly agreed to by the State Dept. and the AID headquarters in Washington. THE STATE DEPT. later said: "Our willingness to consider a Title Two program (surplus food donations under Public Law 480 VRi had an -important psychological effect Because of the Marx leadership role in the Near East, i's geopolitical importance, the part it played in assuring peace and stability in the Near East a determination had been made at the highest levels of our government (in 1961 VRi to earn-out an action program designed to build a broad and useful relationship. The foodstuff was delivered at huse cost to the It was put in Egyptian warehouses in 17 distribution centers.

Only four of those centers handed out even a comparatively few bushels. Some of it was kept on ships for a long time because those vessels had previously put in at Israeli ports. Practically nothing went to the poor. There was no crop failure. In fact there was a bumn-er crop the same year and in 1962 and '63.

The Nasser generals and influential civilian UAR officials simply sold our com commercially. least 80.000 tons were traced in such commercial operations. THE FAILURE of Nasser's agencies to feed his own poor with food we donated to him became so blatant that the U.S. finally investigated the hoax. Four years later there was a final report.

It said in part: 'The i AID i Mission did not verify the UAH representations that the 1961 corn crop had suffered serious losses. We found no evidence th.it the mission verified the existence of the estimated losses in the 1961 corn crop by determining exactly where the insect infestation and floods had occurred or by physical inspect ions of the damaged areas or interviews with farm-' ers suffering crop losses W'e found no indications that the mission ceriained what evidence the UAR's represenfa-tions of serious com crop losses were based upon. Furthermore, there was evidence that the U.S. officials in Cairo then learned of Nasser's failure to hand out the relief corn. But the U.S.

agents did not inform Washington which cou'd have cut off some of the shipments en route and saved over $10 million. this is known to such men as the Seafarers' Paul Hall, the National Maritime Union chief Joe Curran and Teddy Gleason, the longshoremen's leader. That is why, among other reasons, they distrust any word out of Cairo. That is why they still plan to hit cargoes bound for the UAR unless it is proven that the foodstuffs, medicines and other relief will go to the poor, the hungry nnd the wounded. They will not permit another colossal international shakedown, il)Ic Thouuhls a.

News of Other Years small towns, but even in a large cay small firms are saying they can't afford to train unskilled labor at the new rates. One restaurant operator in upstate New York said is his comment: "The minimum wage will cripple the earnings of unskilled labor such as kitchen help, dishwashers, bus boys etc." A bakery owner in Utah said the nimimum wage virtually eliminates apprentices and will ciose up many small businesses.

The new law affects farm employes, too. The need to discharge workers will be felt by the low-skilled and unskilled. It will be asked why these factors weren't taken into account by members of Congress when they enacted the minim unvwage legislation? THE ANSWER is that the labor-union monopoly in boasts it controls a majority of both bouses of Congress by furnishing campaign unds to help elect mem. Thts emphasizes the need for a stricter code of enucs than has been suggested tnus far as a result of the cases of Sen. Dodd and Fep.

Powell. It mites a good argument for. federal appropriation of campaign funds so candidates wiH not be placed under obligations to vested interests. The labor organizations aren't interested in minimum wages as such because those employes who get the increases are usually not members of unions not likely to be for a while. They are primarily scattered workers in miscellaneous small shops which aren't organized by the unions.

But every rise in the minimum-wage rates imposed by federal law pushes up the whole set of wage scales and bas its impact all along the line including, for instance, on the Auto Workers. This, of course, adds to the cost of automobiles. Thus, minimum-wage rates have their biggest influence in moving up the other scales throughout the country. It might be less expensive in the long run for local communities to pot the unskilled workers on government relief temporarily until they can be taught skills mat would enable them to earn better ages than the rninimum.

How many people know how costly to the country and how disrupting to individual welfare a change in the federal Tiiinimum wage' rates is? How many youngsters have been depriv ed of jobs and bow many persons in the upper age brackets have been idled? These questions only partly indicate the profound effect in an economic sense caused by raising mininnan wages this year to $L40 an hour and by the increase is the scope of the law to include workers hitherto uncovered but who now get at least $1 an hour. Next February the minimum wage goes to $166. The most far-reacting cost of tie increases is in wage rates well above the minimum. Taese are being forced upward aH along the line. A worker previously earning $1 40 an hour on a 46-hour week received $56 dollars a week.

Labor unions aren't content to leave this and the other rates unchanged as the minimum is moved up by law. WHEN WORKERS who already have reached the 156 bracket demand an increase, this affects those in the S90 category and so on the line. The total amount of these increases runs into the hundreds of millions of dollars a year and is one of the factors in the rise ia the cost 'of living, otherwise known as The hardships and tragic results of the raise in the minimum-wage rates have been disclosed to some extent in a survey conducted among 40.000 small business firms in all parts of the country by the National Federation of Independent Business replies to its questionnaire are very revealing. For example, a laundry in Indiana laid o2 five of its 40 employes and expects to fire still more. In Wisconsin, a small bank discharged two of its employes because it felt that a rate of $5 a week was too much for a beginner out of high school.

The new rates have hurt the chances of teen-agers to get jobs. This is especially true in You Can't WASHINGTON One of the worst things to come out of the Dodd censure bearings is that no one can trust the people working for him any more. It wifl be recalled that all Sen. Dodd's troubles start-' sd when four staff workers mad at him and copied all of his files which they turned oyer to Drew Pearson and Jack Anderson. Snce then everyone in Washington has been watching the ienit bo work for them Me hawks.

I even found myself caught up in the hysteria. The day after Sen. Dodd was censured I walked into my of- an Bnckvu fxe and found my secretary, Elaine, going through my fiies. "What are you doing in those I tcreamed. Elaine jumped.

"I was trying to get them into some kind of order. They're a mess "A likely I said. "You weren't eoirg tc have them copied and turned over to Drew Pearson, were "Why? Did you want me to?" she asked. DOVT ACT innocent." I said. "How do I know I can trust vol?" "I've been working for you for three years, she said.

I ever gives you any reason to doubt it?" "That's not the point. You know what's in those files and I know what's in those files. But a the public ever found out what was in those files, I wouldn't last in this ton a week" "That's what I've been telling you. If you'd just throw out aH that stuff in your files. I have some room to work "Oh, no, I wont.

That's my only protection. I have so many things in my files yoii never be able to copy all of them "Why would I want to copy any them? I want to throw them out," Elaine said angrily. "Let me ask you a questkn," I said.
