The Army's Nike BottoIions

An encouraging indication of the Army's
progress in guided missile development Is seen
in the announcement at the Pentagon that orders
have been issued for converting conventional AA
units into guided missile battalions. The change
over will start next year. The chief weapon of
the new units will be the Nike" the Army's
highly successful ground-to-air missile, now
under production. The Nike is aptly named for
the winged goddess of victory of ancient Greece
Only few weeks ago Army Secretary Frank
Pace announced that the Army is offering new
career for enlisted men-guided missiles. The
training of guided-miSsile units already has be-
gun at Fort Bliss, Texas where a basic course in
anti-aircraft ordnance and guided missiles is
conducted. Additional details of Nike develop
ments have leaked out from time to time, but
many technical facts about the new weapon still
are being kept under wraps.
It became known early this year that the
Nike had undergone numerous tests at the White
Sands Proving Ground, in New Mexico, with
impressive results. The pencil-shaped Nike,
launched from platform, was able to overtake
and destroy" radio-controlled Bit drones trav-
cling at high speeds and great heights. During
the first part of its flight the missile is guided
by radio, but when close to its target proximity
device takes over control. In the tests smoke
eruptions instead of actual explosions took place
It has been reported that the Army will have
nearly 1000 of the Nike missiles by the end of
this year-enough to begin active field training
of guided missile personnel Full conversion of
AA units to guided missiles will take good many
months. Progress will depend not only on the
training program but on production of the intri-
cate weapon. Eventually the Nike may become
the key weapon in our defenses against aerial
invasion. The SOLDERING thought that cannot oe
escaped is that our potential enemies undoubtedly
are making progress in the guided-mssile field,
too.

The Arob-IsroeIi Deadlock

In agreeing to release all blocked bank
accounts owned by refugees from Palestine
Israel has taken concatory step that can
help to promote at least some progress toward a
peace treaty between itself and the neighboring
Arab states.
AS announced by the United Nations Pales-
tin Cancellation Commission-which worked out
the agreement directly with the Tel Aviv gov
ernment-the funds to be released will total in
the neighborhood OF SIS million Frozen" by
Israel at the time OF the war in the Holy Land,
the accounts belong to between 10000 and 10000
Arabs OF course, the fact that the money is
now going to be returned cannot have any
spectacular effect on the tragic and huge refugee
problem, but it can result in the easing of
numerous cases of acute distress, and 1t should
tend in that way to improve the Arab-Israeli
atmosphere.
At any rate, this is the view that has been
taken by the U. N. Cancellation Commission
Made up of representatives of Turkey, France
and the United States, the commission has de-
clared itself encouraged" to believe that Tel
Aviv's action promises to pave the way for
further progress" toward settling the big dis
puteS that still divide Israel and the Arab states
The commissions effort to break the deadlock
over those disputes-an effort that has gone on
for the past three years-has thus far met with
mo tangible results" but the releasing OF the
refugee accounts has raised definite hope that
fruitful negotiations may now become possible.
The major issues outstanding between the
1sraelis and Arabs have to do with the repa-
triation of refugees. Jerusaem's status, war
damages and the terms to be agreed upon for
a defnitive peace treaty to replace the present
armstice which was signed in 1949 All Of these
questions have proved to be complex and highly
contentious, and up to now there is little evi-
dence to warrant optimism over the outlook for
a near1f6ture meeting of minds between d two
Gides As a result, the whole problem may lead

Nevertheless, even if only slightly, Israeps
decision on the refugee bank accounts serves
to make the situation less bitter and difficult
1t constitutes a welcome development for that
reason. In the last analysis, it is only by just
such give-and-take that the contending parties
can hope to arrive at mutually enriching
peace settlement.

Lebanon President
 Resigns Under Political Pressure

BEIRUT, Lebanon, P Leba- non's veteran independence fight CT Bechara el Khoury bowed to widespread opposition demands Thursday and resigned the presi- dency he had held since the French relinquished control of the country in l943.
 The fight that forced the presi- dent out was led by socialist lead CT Kamal Jumblatt and a deter mined political opposition which accused Fl Khourly and his fam ily of corruption, scandals, and failure to institute needed econ- omic reforms.
 Who would succeed Fl Khourly was uncertain. Fl Khourly was the third Arab head of state top- pied by his own people within two months. Egypt's King Farouk was busted by the military coup d'etat of Mai. Gen. Mohammed Naguib on July 26 and Jordon's King Talal was deposed by his parliament Aug. II.
 The upset here reflected the widespread wave of demands from the poverty stricken masses of the Middle East for political and economic reforms.

McCrath Defends Justice Dept. In
 Tax Scandal Case

WASHINGTON, (P) - Former Attorney General J. Howard Me Grath Wednesday denied that anyone in the Justice Department tried to "sit on" St. Louis tax scandal cases in 1851.
 McGrath told house investiga- tors the department "did all we could to cooperate" with US. Judge George H. Moore in carry ing on a special grand jury probe.
 There was no reason in the world for anyone in the Depart ment of Justice to take an interest in any St. Louis tax cases" he declared.
 Missouri is the home state of the President and St. Louis is the home city of the Secretary of the Treasury but nobody ever spoke to me about any case in St. Louis and if anyone says someone tried to get the depart ment to sit on St. Louis tax cases, it just isn't So."
 McGrath testified before a ju- dietary subcommittee which is in- vestigating the Justice Depart ment. Judge Moore sent the group a sworn statement last month which said in effect that the judge felt the Justice Department, from McGrath on down. dragged it's feet on the grand jury inquiry.
 Judge Moore related that there was a delay in getting Justice Department clearance for the US. District Attorney, the late Drake Watson, to work with the grand jury.
 He said he finally telephoned McGrath and that the then Att torney General told him he would prefer that tax cases go through regular channels" that is, be presented to a grand jury only after going through the Treasury and Justice Departments in Wash ington.
 Judge Moore made 1t clear, too, that he believed Ellis N. Slack, a Justice Department official who was sent to St. Louis, was instru- mental in getting the grand jury to return preliminary report which one juror later character ized as a "whitewash." This re- port said no wrong-doing had been found.
 The judge ordered further in- vestigation and the grand jury eventually returned a number of indictments, one of them against James P. Finnegan, district col lector and close friend of Presi- dent Truman. Finnegan was con- victed of misconduct in office. I
