USIA Probes Views of U.S. TWEET By KAREN MARGOLIS Special To The Daily WASHINGTON - Face-to-face conversation of Americans with foreigners is the most valuable means of communication we have today, Edward R. Murrow, director of the United States Information Agency, told college students work-, ing in Washington recently. The occasion was one of several seminars being given for students who have summer jobs with the government. ' The USIA functions to discover what it is about the United States and its policies that concerns or irritates people abroad, Murrow declared. No Picture "We do not convey a picture of America abroad. Commercial me- dia 94id private citizens abroad do this. We want to make United States policy everywhere intelli- gible and, wherever possible, pal- atable," he asserted. "We do not operate in the ex- pectation that we ,are going to be imitated. We do not operate be- cause we are searching for satel- lites or because we want to tell the people abroad that we have found a solution to our social and eco- nomic ills. "But we do want to tell them that we share many aims, ambi- tions and dreams with them and 'U' Music School To Give Concert The University music school's Collegium Musicum will present an extensive program at 8:30 p.m. today in Aud.

Communists Ahead However, the United States is being outbroadcast, outpublished and outspent in the field of prop- aganda by the Communists, he told the student audience of 10,- 000. The veteran reporter charged that the United States Congress does not believe in "the potency of ideas and the importance of information." He pointed out that if the USIA wanted to operate a jamming system similar to the one the Soviet Union uses on American broadcasts, it would need $150 mil- lion. "But our total annual budget is only $122 million," he said. Murrow said that Voice of Amer- ica broadcasts are more accurate and objective than "anything that moves from this country to the rest of the world." Even racial inci- dents are reported as they occur, he said. "If we did not report them, they would be reported by others and distorted in the proc- ess," he said. Voice of America The 62-language Voice of Amer- ica is not on the air nearly as many hours as Russian and Red Chinese radio propaganda. "We have recently installed a large transmitter in North Carolina, and soon we will open one in Liberia, but we will still rank third," Mur- row declared. Sixty American magazines and 20 newspapers are reproduced in 25 languages. In Southeast Asia, Murrow reported, these magazines are accepted as a substitute for money. American journalists and professors of journalism are in Africa teaching people the ethics and technical aspects of journal- ism. The United States operates 182 libraries in 88 countries. Revolution by Book "We take books for granted, but they are causing revolutions in other parts of the world," Murrow asserted. One of the USIA's small libraries in Africa had more re- quests for the Federalist Papers in six months than a New York public library had in a year, he noted. Television provides a rare and valuable opportunity for the USIA, Murrow said, not only because foreign stations give us air time without cost, but also because in many parts of the world television is used as an "instrument of edu- cation and public enlightenment rather than of entertainment." A television series teaching Eng- lish, which began as an experi- ment, is now thriving in 35 coun- tries, including all Latin American countries that have television. It is reportedly the most popular pro- gram in Vienna, and the USIA even receives mail from Hungary and Czechoslovakia concerning the series. ,ITop Talent Murrow has brought into his agency "five of the best young film makers in the country" to help supply movies in 52 languages to American film libraries in 104 For Men and Women- IT'S "CONTINENTAL" HAIRSTYLES GALORE!!

Where illiteracy is high, radio is the most important means of com- munication, Murrow said. If the USIA can get a copy of a presiden- tial speech three hours in advance, it can be translated in 100 world capitals by the time the President finishes his address. However, Murrow confided that President Kennedy is "a frustrated editor and makes changes in the copy right up to air time." "Curiosity in the Soviet Union is expanding," Murrow declared. Of 300 American exhibits in circula- tion at all times, the three in the Soviet Union (concerning plastics, medicine and transportation) drew 1.5 million Russians. Wondering Minds "It is not possible to train half the human mind without having the other half eventually wonder about the relation of the individ- ual to the state and the individual to a Supreme Being," he said. He added that Russians' questions are changing from the usual "How much did that suit cost?" to deeper matters such as "Is it true you havethe right to strike in your jobs?" The agency director says his views on censorship have changed since the time he was a television producer. "Now I would not trust any government agency-even the one over which I have the privilege to preside-to control or censor anything communicated from this country to any other. This would lead to control within the nation and controlover departure of in- dividuals from this country. There would be no place to stop." The USIA recruits about 50 col- lege graduates each year and sends them to a special training school for a year. Former Peace Corps- men are also wanted. "If we inter- est you, you interest us, and we would like to hear from you," Mur- row concluded. SA D AAs tide in Bay of Fundy rises, gates open to fill high pool, as shown \ -- in top drawing.

It is a project first conceived about 1919 and has been strongly advocated by many persons throughout the ensuing years, in- cluding President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Roosevelt actually launched a start on the development in 1935. After a sum of $7 million was allo- cated for initial work, Senate Re- publicans blocked further appro- priations. They claimed the proj- ect was a "moondoggling" enter- prise. The tides are actuated by the moon. Roosevelt Convinced Roosevelt became enthusiastic about the plan after watching the surging tides at his summer home on Campobello Island. The island is in a key position for helping form one of the huge reservoirs necessary for the hydro-electric development. Since the unsuccessful attempt to get Work going in 1935, the proj- ect has been studied off and on. Some experts have felt in the past that the development would be economically unsound. However, the view of many now is that changing times and technology would make it worthwhile. Backing up this viewpoint, Sec- retary of the Interior Stewart L. Udall has urged President John F. Kennedy to back a $1 billion pro- gram for the project. Udall based his plea on a new study, under- taken in 1961 by a group of Inter- ior Department experts. Kennedy in Favor President Kennedy declared himself wholeheartedly in favor of the idea. Passamaquoddy Bay is an arm of the famous Bay of Fundy, a noted tourist attraction which has the greatest rise and fall of tides in the world. On the Nova Scotia coast the tides range 40 to 50 feet in height. In the Passamaquoddy Bay area they, vary from nearly 13 feet to 26, with an average of around 18. Under the current plans, 71/2 miles of ocean dams would be con- structed at various places and would form two pools. Storage Pool Passamaquoddy Bay would trap the incoming tidewaters and pro- vide a storage pool for the water later to be idropped through tur- bines into a low pool formed by adjacent Cobscook Bay. At low tides the water in Cobscook Bay would be released. The Passamaquoddy develop- ment would produce 1 million kilo- watts during a peak one-hour per- iod daily, and ilesser amounts at other hours. Udall said the project could be completed within 15 years-at a time when power needs in the northeastern United States and adjacent Canadian areas would be far greater than now. U.S. Money The secretary said the United Stastes would finance the whole project, but that power would be sold to Canadian purchasers, at cost. All the power plants would be on the American side; some of the dams would be in Canada. The tidal project would be cou- pled with a companion hydro- electric development on the upper St. John River. President Kennedy instructed the State Department to begin im- mediate negotiations with Canada for sharing the benefits of the project. No Legislation Yet Meanwhile, it was believed that it would be about a year before the Administration submits to Con- gress any measure for authorizing the construction.
