COURIER NEWS PAGE THRE1 Youth Admits Beating, Slashing Girl to Death DETROIT (AP) An unemotional high school student told police today he fatally beat and slashed a 4-year-old girl, but he didn't know why he did it.

McClellan (D-Ark) said today legislation he sponsored last year has brought a 10 per cent increase in U. S. cotton exports.

MrClellan referred to a law providing that surplus U. S. commodities could be sent abroad and soldi for local currencies. This local cur- rency then is used by the government for its military and economic aid program abroad. In a review of operations under his legislation, McClellan said that about 50 million dollars worth of U.

S. cotton had been sent abroad. "Friendly nations bought about 300,000 bales of cotton or roughly 10 per cent of the amount which had been exported the year previous," he said. "Inasmuch as the law specifically states that sales must be in addition to usual and normal mar- ketings, these 300,000 bales can be considered as net additions to our total exports." In many instances. McClellan said, foreign customers could not have bought U.

S. cotton unless they had been permitted to use their local currency rather than dollars. "We have succeeded, to a certain extent, in moving more U. S. cotton into the export market and at the same time building up the military and economic strength of our al-j lies." he said.

"The program has not cost one cent extra. The money to finance the program came from the total amount appropriated and xvas earmarked for this specific program."
