Administration officials said this decision makes Somalia the num- ber one Soviet-leaning country in Africa. Independent since June, 1960, it is located on the easternmost tip of Africa. Red Advisers The officials said they were less disturbed by the Russian weapons that will reach Somalia, than by the fact that Mogadishu, the country's capital, is teeming with Communist-bloc "advisors." The city, they said, appears to have become a stepping stone for Soviet ambitions on the African continent. The Somalia disclosure came after long months of talks be- tween United States Envoy Horace G. Torbert Jr., and the Somali government. Torbert tried to con- vince the Somalis that a no- strings-attached Western offer was more attractive than the So- viet proposal. The United States, Italy and West Germany, proposed a pack- age military-assistance program of $18 million, consisting mainly of small arms. Moscow offered $30 millioon in arms. The Somalis are understood to have asked for more than the West offered, and questioned the feasibility of arms coming from three countries. The Somali decision is expected to satisfy neighboring Ethiopia, a country disturbed by the Western offer to supply the Somalis with arms. Emperor Haile Selassie told President John F. Kennedy here last month of his concern over Somalia's claim to Ethiopia's Oga- den Province and parts of eastern Kenya. Kennedy, it is understood, as- sured the Emperor of United States support. The Soviets also are building a modern air base in Somalia. It is considered by Washington experts much larger than justified by Somali needs.

Harriman Demurs The communique had been de- signed as a joint one to be issued after Harriman completed his talks with President Arturo Dllia and other government leaders. But a high government source said Harriman "understandably, did not want to sign." Illia and Harriman firmly stat- ed their positions in conversations Sunday, informed sources report- ed. An authoritative United States source said that "failure by the Argentine government to act with- in the concept of the United States position can harin this climate for foreign capital and with it the Alliance for Progress." To Act Within Law Argentina has promised to act within the law. The United States demands immediate and just com- pensation if the contracts are an- nulled. United States Ambassador Rob- ert McClintock is known to have planned a trip to Washington late this month to report on Illia's new administration. Now he may be called home earlier. In his' successful campaign for the presidency, Illia assailed the legality of the foreign oil con- tracts because then President Ar- turo Frondizi signed them in 1958 without any action by the Argen- tine c0ongress. He restated his views in his inaugural address last month. The foreign oil companies, most- ly American, insist that the con- tracts were legal and that under this assumption they have sunk $397 million since 1958 in develop- ing Argentina's oil industry. No Mention of Indemnities The communique leaked to the press made no mention of indem- nifying the oil companies for their investments. The companies fear that compensation will be too little -and late in coming. The oil dispute put a cloud over the opening of the Alliance for Progress ministerial meeting in Sao Paulo, Brazil. In addition, Brazil balked at contributing new machinery to the Alliance for Pro- gress. Since Brazil and Argentina are the two largest Latin American members of the 20-nation Alliance, any problems involving them could jeopardize the future of President John F. Kennedy's multi-billion- dollar aid program. Hard New Look Purpose of the conference of the Inter-American Economic and So- cial Council is to give the alliance a hard new look-and some fresh muscles. The alliance has run into trouble from the dominant conservative classes in most coun- tries because their privileges would be curtailed under the reforms proposed by Kennedy. Speaking at the conference, Bra- zil's President Joao Goulart said Latin American countries could solve their economic problems by themselves through a united front. He seemed to exclude the United States. He claimed that the high cost of industrial imports and low prices paid for Latin American raw materials was a major cause of financial drain in the area. Goulart made his heaviest im- pact on the already-beclouded opening session, however, by what he did not say. He did not once refer to the United States as the chief supplier of funds to the Al- liance for Progress, nor to foreign investment for Latin American de- velopment. The United States is represent- ed by Undersecretary of State W. Averell Harriman. t ;'. ' . RICE'S Smartest Hosiery Shoppe Michigan Theatre Building ANN ARBOR, MICH. 4 'a SALE! Wool Pants.
