Show Barbs Fly as Administration Pi esses for Aid Restoration By Walter R. Mears Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON The White, House vowed Saturday to press Congress in the strongest terms for revival of the foreign-aiprogram. Sen. George D. Aiken, said the administration should uce compromise and cooperation to that end. And Sen. Edward M. Kennedy accused President Nixon of hypocrisy. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee scheduled a closed meeting Monday morning to try to figure out what to do about foreign aid, left in a shambles d Kennedy called that Nixon criticism the most hypocritical of all. Where was he when we needed him most? Kennedy asked. He said Nixon had declared earlier he would take no position on proposals to cut foreign aid or United Nations funds. He appealed to the worst instincts in the Senate and the American people by the way he criticized the United Nations and the vote on China, Kennedy said. It comes with especially ill grace now for him to criticize the U.S.Senaie for taking him at his word and killing foreign aid. Secretary of State William P. Rogers issued an urgent plea to Congress to restore the program. after the Senate voted 41 to 27 Friday both parties pro ably could be passe 1.

We cannot afford to abandon our share of the responsibility for help to the dispossessed, the hungry and the poor. We cannot afford to abandon our contribution to the economic development of nations seeking to stand on their own feet. We cannot afford to abandon our material support to allies whose survival may be at stake. Rogers argued that the Senate vote came at a particularly delicate moment in U.S. foreign policy. of transition, This was a reference to the Nixon Doctrine asking other nations to do more for Cupids Arrow Stung for Years By Hubert J. Erb Associated Press Writer BERLIN Her worst ordeal in 25 months in an East German prison, an attractive East Berlin nurse said Saturday was to adjust to being in jail, although I had done nothing wrong. What Elisabeth Neumann, free and in West Berlin since Tuesday, had done was fall in iove with an American language student, and try to marry him despite objections from Communist East German authorities. Love cost Lyle Jenkins, 31, of Norfolk, Va., completing work on a doctorate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 22 months in East German imprisonment as well. The East-Welove story began with Jenkins doing two semesters of work at the Academy of Science in East Berlin, a top European language institute. He became a friend of Jack st Strickland, 29, Santa Barbara, Calif., studying oceanography in West Berlin, Stricklands fiance, Brigitte Heider, 33, of East Berlin, and Miss Neumann. Each couple made marriage plans. Jenkins and Strickland went to East Berlin in September, 1969, to try to get Jenkins girl and were arrested along with Miss Neumann. Jenkins got a sentence of 2 years and Strickland four years on charges involving helping or enticing people to flee East Germany. Miss Neumann was sentenced to cwo years and nine months for trying to flee. After our appeals to marry and leave failed, said Miss Neumann, I resolved to leave anyway but we had no concrete plans on how or when. But they have this law against fleeing the republic. I did not consider that I had done anything at all, but I was put in jail and T had to adjust to that faci. Prison life itself, she said, was not nice, but a lot depended on how one behaved and worked. No attempt was made to give her Marxist or other indoctrination, Elisabeth added. Born in Czechoslovakia, expelled after the war, Miss Neumann leaves her mother in East Berlin. Because she is 64, she said, we have hope she will be able to join us in the West. I have written her that 1 am free. On Monday, Elisabeth related to reporters Saturday, she was isolated in prison and on Tuesday told she was being released, given only her personal effects but no identity or other professional papers showing her school ing or experience as a chief nurse in a war at East Berlins Charity HospitaL She is also a trained auto mechanic, Jenkins smiled, adding that once she obtains a West German passport See Page Column 1 Voters in 200 Utah Cities To Decide Issues, Offices his sixth By Douglas L.
