* Ike's proposal that the U.N. spend $100 million on the U.N. Special Fund and the expanded technical assistance program meant that the U.S. would kick in $40 million—a 40% ceiling set by Congress in its annoyance at the failure of other nations to ante up to U.N. funds. Russia, for example, puts up only $2,000,000 (instead of the $13 million it should) and insists that 75% must be spent inside Russia on equipment or in training foreign technicians. Britain gives its full quota. The Netherlands, the Scandinavian countries and Canada give more than their quotas. Less generous are France, Italy, Japan, West Germany.
