It would not be surprising if present Congressional pecking at the United States Information Agency, known as USIA, breaks out in an open revolt against this free-wheeling, free-spending op eration. • * » Not that the billion dollara that this donny- brook has cost the taxpayers Is expected to, be prime con sideration. Aft er all, a billion dollars spent in this phase of the razzle daz zle foreign op erations is al most chicken c. W. Hardar feed by comparison. * * * But there is considerable sus picion that USIA is getting the nation into serious trouble. * • • In fact, it is possible that a full scale investigation as to what part USIA had.to play In the slaughter of thousands of Hun garian freedom fighters m^y easily be launched. • * * USIA denies it egged the Hun garian patriots on with “news” broadcasts promising imminent American armed force aid. But there also appears evidence that by quoting certain American offi cials at the time, such as State Secretary John Dulles’ talk of “rollbacks ” considerable false optimism was created. • * • And of course, the Hungarians could not be expected to know that Dulles does a great deal of talking that is not in tune with the American sentiment, a a * Of course, for some time, mem bers of Congress have expressed the feeling that the work of USIA is useless. Sen. J. Fulbright takes this stahd. as well as Sen. Dennis Chavez, who made trip abrpad to study operation and reported on return it has no value. @ Nttlrttal FM*cativ»n of Indepfrid-nt Rujirim By C. WILSON HARDER Rep. John Rooney the other day questioned why USIA should spend $56,400 of U. S. taxpayers’ money to furnish free subscrip tions to 1000 Englishmen to two New York newspapers. • • • But over and beyond the spew ing out of money on all manner of schemes, there is growing a realization USIA may be danger ous. It operates in 67 nations, op erates the powerful Voice of America radio transmission set up. In the last two years the number of employees has been increased by something like 20% so that at present there are over 12,000 on the payroll • * a Half of these employees are foreigners, with no conception of the American ideal. The agency is not responsible to Congress, to State Dept. Defense Dept, or practically anyone else, that any one knows about. • a a Instead, as an instrumentality of the U. S. government, USIA tells the world just about what it feels like, purporting to be offi cial U. S. policy. a a a For example, the votes were not all counted In the last elec tion when USIA started broad casting to the world that the election results meant no change in American foreign policy, nor any change in collosal U. S. for eign give away programs, a a a This was all done before the new Congress was organized, or had the opportunity to meet and debate the issues. a a a Thus, there is a growing fear in many Congressional circles against permitting USIA to con tinue. Some observers even ex press the feeling that with dis regard for facts, USIA could propagandise the U. S. into a shooting war. So there is strong sentiment that not only is USIA needless, it is probably danger- j ous as well. Sunday morning at 11:15 from the Joanna club house for a week at Camp Old Indian.
