Constantine Brown:

The State Department is in
a serious dilemma over what
to do in Egypt. The Cairo Par
lament has taken action and
the government cannot be
budged from its demands that
British troops Immediately evac-
uate the Suez Canal zone.
Neither the promise of eco
nomic aid nor the offer to
Egypt Of a key role in q Middle
Eastern defense pact was suf-
ficient inducement to change
Cairo's determination.
The problem which faces our
diplomats Is whether to invite
serious trouble in the Middle
East by taking a strong stand
against Egyptian national as
pirations or to urge the British
that it would be wiser to com
promise" with a government
which makes expulsion Of
British troops the primary con-
dition for a compromise.
The situation is entirely diff
ferent, our top policy makers
admit. from that in Iran when
we were able to induce the
British not to use force.
Britain's military prestige was
not involved in the evacuation
Of Abadan. Quite the contrary,
the London government was
able to say to its people and the
world that it preferred losing
important economic interests to
using strong methods which
might have precipitated another
war.
The task Of our diplomats is
far more complex now. It Is no
longer a question Of a dispute
over economic concessions or
privileges. Britain's prestige
throughout the world Is in
volved. There are upward Of
10000 British troops along the
Suez Canal today. It is no
longer matter of ordering 300
civilian engineers and oil ex-
perts to withdraw to avoid
trouble with the Iranian gov
ernment. It is a question of q
British army leaving Egyptian
territory, bag and baggage, un-
der peremptory orders of the
Cairo government. And neither
the Laborites nor the Conserva-
tives in Britain want to accept
this humiliation.
The State Department al
ready has indicated to Cairo
that the United States stands
firmly behind Britain. But this
diplomatic" indication is not
taken seriously by the Egyp-
tians. They know that the
American people. who already
have their hands full in Korea,
will not allow their Government
to draw them into another mill
tary adventure, much as they

this bill"
The bill didn't come before
the Senate until the first week
of this month. After the de-
bate had got under way. Sen
ator Taft announced his oppo-
sition. While conceding the
bills "meritorious~ nature and
the financial crisis of the medi-
cal schools" he declared the
country could not afford the
expense at this time. The bill
called for disbursements of
$500 million over a period of
five years. Senator Taft pro-
posed instead the creation of a
commission to study the situa-
ton and report to the Senate
two years from now.

Harold Stassen may claim a
victory in all this; perhaps he
can so persuade people. but his
anti-Jessup activities have not
added to his stature in the
Capitol. On both sides Of the
aisle, Senators cynically suggest
that he must be running for
Vice-President on a Taft ticket.
Reporters credit him with in
venting the doctrine Of guilt by

sive labels for him.

about him.

Doris FIeeson:

The Senate is ducking its re-
sponsibilty for voting Ambas-
sador Philip Jessup up or down
as a delegate to the United Ma
tions.
A third of the Senators have
gone home and the number of
absentees is expected to increase
as the week wears on. Party
leaders believe, either by direct
check or grapevine rumor, that
at least 10 Democrats oppose
the nomination. In this group
they put Senators Byrd, Robert
son, Smathers. Holland, McCar-
ran, Smith OF North Carolina,
Eastland. Mcclellan, Stennis
and Hoey. They would expect
to pick up only a few Repub-
hcans to Offset this loss.
Others have agreed to sup
port Mr.. JesSup but have asked
that the matter be dropped.

choice but to agree to it.

It Is true that the military
forces of Egypt, which were
supposed to be organized and
equipped by the British under
the 1896 treaty-but were not
are not in a position to fight
even the small British naval and
air forces in Egypt and in the
immediate neighborhood. But
the State Department is also
aware that If even skirmishes
occur between the British and
regular Egyptian forces. the
whole Of Islam from Indonesia
to Morocco would be in an up
roar in a few weeks. And this
represents a population of some
350.000,000 occupying some of
the most important strategic
lands in the world.

preaching nationalism, not COM

ceived a death blow at the end

their full freedom.

lapse of what is left Of that
empire.
Washington and London have
bungled the situation in Egypt
much as they have bungled
it in Iran with the "too little
and too late" policy. The Cairo
government has asked since
1946 for a revision Of the 1886
treaty which provided for q
condominium in the, Sudan and
the withdrawal of British troops
from the Suez Canal in 1856.
An agreement was actually in
itialed In 1916, but London
found loopholes to reject it.
The matter was brought before
the United Nations in 1947 but
that body showed it aside,
urging the two parties to con-
tinue their discussions and find
a solution by themselves. The
British indicated that they did
not wish to "precipitate mat
ters" until the expiration of the
treaty in 1856.
There is no doubt that the
defeat Of Britain in Iran en-
couraged the Egyptian Parlia.
ment to act for immediate
solution. The wave Of nation
alism is on the rise now from
the Persian Gulf to the Western
Atlantic. The Cairo govern.
ment feels that the tense in.
ternational situation will not
permit the Western powers to
create another explosive zone
In the Middle East. Last year,
soon after the outbreak of the
Korean war. there was a strong
possibility of reaching an agree
ment between London and
Cairo on the basis of a volun-
tary withdrawal of the British
troops within one or two years.
Today this seems impossible.
And unless the West wants to
face the hostility of $50 million
Mohammedans, the British may
have to leave Egypt under
coercion.

David Lawrence:

The political wisdom of the
immediate announcement by
Senator Taft of his candidacy
for the Republican nomination
for the presidency is sure to
be questioned by many expe-
rienced political observers. For
it breaks a precedent in political
history when a candidate an
nounces himself as much as nine
months before the actual con-
vention, especially when he is In
the lead anyway.
One thing it does is concen-
trate Immediately the heavy
artillery of opposition against
him in his own party, and it
starts the 1862 campaign much
sooner than 1t normally would
get under way.
There are no political advan-
tages in an early announcement.
1t is true that the candidate
who is out in front tends to
draw 'band wagon" strength

on the fence and are likely to

as against this is the fact that
no delegates are so easily lost,

announcement idea is to de-
fate the Eisenhower boom, the

Senator Taft Changes His Mind
lost-Mnute Reversal of Attitude on Medical Aid Bill
Which He Had Sponsored FIobbergosts Colleagues

The great decision has been
made. The awful suspense is
ended. Senator Taft will not
stop running for President.
It wasn't an easy decision to
make. The Ohio candidate
didn't know for sure that he
could stop, even if he wanted to.
The momentum built up in IL
years could have been too much
for him, leaving him still run
ming until he bumped into
something, such as Eisenhower,
for instance.
How good the Senator's
brakes would have proved, had
he decided to use them, we
never will know, but he demon
strated recently that he can
still turn a corner at high speed.
For at least two years and up
until this month he had been an
advocate of Federal aid to Inedi-
cal education, sharing the wide
spread concern over the serious
shortage of doctors, dentists and
nurses. Federal aid to the
schools, he argued, was wholly
different from "socialized medi-
cine" or compulsory health in
surance. AS he said in a speech
in August, 1949, MY inclina-
ton is to think it will remove
some of the arguments which
have been made in favor Of
that particular program"
In February of this year he
was one Of the signers Of q
unanimous report by the SEN
ate Labor and Public Welfare
Committee which said: rs. 337
presents a program which offers
a practicable short range emer-
gency solution Of an immediate
and urgent problem the
shortages in professional health
manpower, which were consid-
cred grave by your committee in
1949 have become more accute
and immediate"
s. 337 is the bill providing
for aid to the medical schools
in an effort to meet the present
crisis.
In March, Senator Taft re-
buked Senator Dirksen of Illi-
nois for saying S. 337 was not
necessary. "The bill should be
brought before the Senate at
the earliest possible momenti
he said. II may say that

to oppose it. Here I am at
the last moment abandoned by
those who participated in the
hearings and the drafting of
the bill"
Senator Taft denied his pol
icy committee had taken action
on the bill. and other Republi-
cans supported his denial, some
saying they proposed to vote for
it.
Rather than risk defeat at
this time, however, the man
ayers Of the bill obtained its
recommitment to committee
with a view to bringing it up
again in January.

SEVEN UP

SEVEN UP
1. The number "Seven" has
always had its significance, es-
pecially in days Of old, when by
signs and wonders, His myster-
les to man did unfold.
2. When dreams gave a signal
of warning. and dates like the
"IdeS of March" bespoke the
futures unfoldings as events be-
gan to approach.
8. For Pilots wife saw very
clearly. what in the offing was
about to appear, and to her hus-
oand spoke most boldly of her
inward fear.
4. Naaman was told by Elisha
to go down in Jordan seven times,
and his leprosy would disappear
like magic if he would follow
these simple signs.
5. But he hummed and hawed
impatiently as most men usually
do when a choice for God must
be made, and without any ado.
6. It all to him sounded too
uncanny, in that all of his ply
sicians had failed, and left him
still covered with leprosy, fes-
tering and wholly covered with
scabs and scales.
z. But, seven times he must dip
in Jordan, was all the Goldman
would offer, and refusing this
definite cure, he must continue
to suffer.
8. He then turned a believing
ear to the advice of his humble
servants, and the seven dips
brought him baby skin with sew
eral other priceless benefits.
9. This was not the result of
mans "seven come eleven
chances, but Gods convincing
power, pulsating every nerve
center of Elisha, that's changed
the skin of Naaman is drawn, and
by the dipping are g1oriously re-
freshed, and come up sane and

with blood that helps men to for
give, and not just seven, but 70
times seven, and toward Heaven
look and live.
