U.S. INFORMATION SERVICES
USE DOUBTED IN N.Z. (Rec. 11.45 p.m.) WASHINGTON, Oct. 7. Senator Allen Ellender (Democrat, Louisiana), who returned yesterday from a 45,000-mile tour of many parts of the world, including New Zealand and Australia, said that in most of the countries he visited the United States Information Service activities were too expensive. ...... Of all the countries he visited, he considered only Egypt justified the amount of time being spent in the information programmes. Senator Ellender added that much of the United States information services in New Zealand and Australia were a waste of time. “These people are and probably always will be, friends of the United States, and they resent information programmes which imply a doubt that they are our friends,” he said.
