NBC FEATURE June 21, 1963 RUSSIA'S SNOW PLOWS SENT TO TROPICAL GUINEA INDICATE SOVIET FOREIGN AID CAPABLE OF FIASCOS, NBC'S ELIE ABEL COMMENTS Russia has sent snow plows to tropical Guinea, indicating their foreign aid program is easily capable of fiascos, reported Elie Abel, NBC News' State Department correspondent. Abel, speaking before the International Consumer Credit Conference June 20 in Kansas City, Mo., also revealed the Soviets sent a shipment of 2,500,000 screwdrivers to another country that had a population of only 3,000,000. "The Soviet aid program to Guinea," Abel said, has given "comfort even to those Americans who feel their own aid program has been badly administered, who recall with horror the shipments of weight -reducing food to Laos, and the road in Cambodia that, quite apart from leading nowhere, buckled and collapsed after one heavy rain. " To Guinea, Abel said the Russians sent not only snow plows but heaters and to a country that had no sewage plants, the Russians sent 10,000 toilets. "I don't mean to suggest that our U. S. aid program has been an unalloyed success in the less developed countries. But it is a demonstrable fact that the Russians - far from being 14 feet tall -have repeated many of our mistakes and devised a good many of their own, Abel said. o PRESS DEPARTMENT, NATIONAL BROADCASTING COMPANY, 30 ROCKEFELLER PLAZA, NEW YORK 20, NEW YORK
