the new government are clear
ly and unsentimentally aware
of the weakness of the Arab
world, as they were fully
aware of the weakness Of
Egypt during the PaleStinian
war, of which. I believe, every
member Of the revolutionary
council is a veteran. But they
are working. and more con-
cretely than their predecessors,
j., to strengthen pan-Arab ties.
During the past year there
have been numerous con-
ferences between the Arab
states, each devoted to a spe-
cific problem: Communica-
tions; the building and extern
sion of roads linking all the
Arab states together; co-ordi-
nation OF air communication
and the creation of a mercan-
tile fleet.
An inter-Arab finance con-
ference has considered how to
procure uniform customs, pro-
mote inter-Arab trade, and
ease currency exchanges. The
unif1cation of the Arab world
under Egyptian leadership is
certainly a long-range Egyp-
tian goal, despite blocks that
will not be easily removed and
are indeed impossible without
changes elsewhere than in
Egypt. But Israel and her sup
porters certainly will oppose
this goal, as they prefer a dis
united Arab world.
One does not hear in Egypt
any talk about driving the
Jews into the sea" but there is
rather increased f1rmness on
the question of Israel's present
frontiers and any move to ex-
tend them. Egypt insists that
Israel must retreat on some of
her present frontiers, and in
particular from her position on
the Gulf of .Aqaba, which, ac-
cording to Gen. Naguib, she
seized after the armistice.
Gen. Naguib, during our
hour-and-a-half conversation,
drew me a map to illustrate
this contention that in break
ing through to Aqaba. Israel
partitioned not only Palestine
but the whole Arab world, cut
ting off Egypt from any direct
land communication with most
of the other. Arab states. With
out making any threats, he
says that such a condition can
not and will not continue to
exist whereby 40 million Arabs
are cut off from each other.
When I bluntly inquired of
Evening star., 1953-08-12

case banning segregated res
taurantS, the court during its
closing hours specifically asked
the Attorney General for fur
ther arguments on segregated
schools. It has now sent down
word that Mr.. Brownell can
delegate this task, but the
understanding is that he will
do it himself.
The school segregation cases,
of course, are the crux OF the
problem. Gov. Byrnes of South
Carolina said his State would
close its schools If the court
ended segregation, and he got
a law passed permitting that
closing. This reaction may not
be typical. but it Is very sug-
geStive.
Clearly, the court win pay
a great deal Of attention to
the Attorney Generals argu-
ments, deducing from them
the attitude of the President
whose job it will be to enforce
any ruling the court makes.
In a sense it is engaged in a
sharing e-blame operation
and not. of course. for the first
time.
Thus one returns again to
Mr.. Dooley's classic comment
that 1.-The Constitution follows
the flag and the Supreme Court
follows the election returns"
The President made certain
promises and he will have
great responsibility in the
Evening star., 1953-08-12

matter. The Supreme Court is
arranging to focus the ccun-
try's attention on that fact.
Where an issue so controver-
sial and so momentous is in
volved, it can be argued that
this is legitimate and wise.
Once it is clear and plain
that the President meant what
he said about civil rights, the
Eisenhower Democrats of the
South must necessarily re-
assess their position. They will
be awkwardly situated, espe-
cially with respect to their per-
sonal attacks on Mrs. Roose-
velt and Truman.
It is possible that some form
of political pressure may still
be put on the President in this
matter. If his actions are any
guide, it will be in vain. Be-
sides, though some of his po-
litical weaknesses stem from
the intensely conformist Kan
,sas Republicanism of his early
days, in the civil rights area
his early training will move
him to stand fast.
The Justice Department, in
cidentally, is a little coy about
the long delay in appointing a
solicitor general to succeed
the fabulously successful Philip
Perlman. It is perhaps proving
difficult to find one who will
not fall behind the almost un-
broken record. of Perlman tri-
umphs in the Federal courts.

Britain's representative to
the United Nations, Selwyn
Lloyd, has arrived in New York
to represent his country at the
forthcoming; meeting of the
United Nations special assem-
bly, on Korea, scheduled for
August IT.
Mr.. Lloyd was instructed by
his government, according to
authoritative reports from
London, to press Britain's in
sistence on placing Com
muniSt China in the u. N.
and work out some sort OF
naturalization" project for
Forrnosa. in event the peace
talks over Korea were to
progress favorably.
He will encounter in these
diplomatic efforts a strong and
probably insurmountable OPP
position from our own repre-
sentatives. In the face Of the
revelations of murder and
wanton Ill treatment Of the
United Nations prisoners OF
war and the. lack of accounting
for several thousand American
prisoners-not to mention the
ROKs-it is difficult for the
most tolerant American to
understand how anybody can
contemplate even vaguely
giving the Chinese Communists
a seat in the U. N. :
After the last war the Allies
sent to the gallows the high
est ranking Germans and
Japanese who were guilty OF
crimes which in no way were
greater than those perpetrated
by the Reds. The aNazis mur-
dered hundreds of thousands
of citizens of their own country
and of the occupied, territories.
For these grave crimes their
political and military leaders
some of whom merely exc
cuted orders from above
were sentenced to criminals
deaths. The, German and
Japanese governments with
which we are now on friendly
terms are as different from the
Nazis and warlords as the
Chinese in Formosa are from
those in Peiping.
Apparently, because we are
not at war with China, the in

The change in policy and
philosophy Of Government
under the Eisenhower admin
istration is exemplif1ed in the
new Small business Admins
tration, an agency created by
Congress at its last session
which is just getting itself or
ganized here.
In the field of financial as
sistance to small business, it
takes the place of two agen-
cies. It assumes, first, the
small business lending func-
tions Of the Reconstruction
Finance Corp, which was only
one of the many activities of
the RFC, that giant banking
and financial and managerial
institution which is going out
of business next month after
% years of service and some
turbulent history. Secondly, it
absorbS also the helping hand
function of the Small Defense
Plants Corp, which likewise
is out of business, in getting
defense contracts for small
business and getting them
financed, where that also Is
necessary.
The objective of the new
SBA is to enlist private bank
ing and finance in rounding
up funds needed for small
business, with the Government
to become chiefly the liaison
and the backstop, thus shift
ing the function and respon-
sibility away from Govern
ment to private enterprise.
Eventually it is the aim Of the
Eisenhower administration to
get the Government out, of
this field entirely. In fact. the
administrator of SBA, Will
liam D. Mitchell, lawyer-busi-
nesSman-engfneer of Denver,
is one bureaucrat who an
nounced, as he began his job,
his intention to work himself
out of it, when he said:
I'm carrying out my duty to

Now that the foreign aid is
continuing in rather substan-
tial quantities, all's well inso-
far as friendliness toward
America is concerned-includ-
ing Eisenhower's stock, which
went down very low indeed in
Europe during the 1852 presi-

GENEVA, Aug. IL. - DR..
Nahum Goldman of New York
has been elected president of
the World Jewish Congress. The
Polish-born American has served
as acting president of the or
ganization since 1949.
DR.. Goldman was chosen for
a four-year term last night at
the closing session of the con-
gress meeting here. His election
came after delegates approved a
resolution expressing concern at
the steady growth of neo-Nazi
elements" in Germany.
The congress asked the Ger
man government to take action
against these groups. A French
move to condemn German re-
armament as a danger to the
world and to. the Jewish people
was defeated after a hot debate.
Opponents warned against the
congress mixing in matters of

In another resolution the con-
gress expressed the hope that
Soviet Jewry would be able to
maintain the great traditions of
Russian Jewry" and would be
granted the right to emigrate
to Israel.

with a situation which in many
respects may be worse than
that in the last war. Yet we
are unable to show common

the Reds arrive at the peace

Where Will the South Stand When the Attorney General
Steps Up to Argue Against Segregation in Schools?

The extent to which the Re-
publican Party can hold and
extend the Eisenhower gains
in the once solid South is a
popular political speculation.
1t is also an idle one until
after that December day in the
next Supreme Court term when
the Eisenhower Department of
Justice steps up to the rail
to argue against segregated
schools.
Up to now, Southern Demo-
Gratis for Eisenhower have
managed to avoid noticing that
the new President has taken a
firm and unequivocal stand on
civil rights. He has done what
he could by executive order
and he has not retreated an
inch on principle.
So far, however, nothing
done by Eisenhower has proved
sufficiently dramatic to infiame
those emotions which Eleanor
Roosevelt and Harry S. Tru-
man aroused and lacerated.
There will be plenty Of drama
when Attorney General Brown
ell or a solicitor general not
yet named carries on the fight
against segregation which has
not suffered a real Supreme
Court reversal in 20 years of
Democratic rule.
1t is hard to escape the no.
tion that the Supreme Court
planned it that way.

ment of methods by which pri-
vate f1nanciers will be enabled
eventually to supply all the
legitimate credit needs of
small business"
In this aspiration, the 40
year-old administrator may be
a bit optimistic-that is. pre-
Suming that small business
continues to be a problem in an
economy that is more and
more geared to massive units
of maSS-production caliber and
presuming. further, that it gets
the continued political support
which it has aroused in what
has become virtually a fight
for survival. Mr.. Mitchell may
be a bit optimistic. too, in his
expectations from the CO.
operative policy he enunciated
as follows:
IF I had to choose one word
as a keynote to the overall
policies, aims and functions of
SBA, it would be 'co-opera-
ton BY this I mean co-opera-
tion between Government and
the business community, CO.
operation between large firms
and small ones, cooperation
among the various areas of
American business and indus
try, such as manufacturing,
financing. distribution, trans
portation and communica-
tions."
For it was some Of these in
terests that 'co-operated" in
pressing Congress to abolish
the RFC so that it would not
be in competition with private
banking and finance, and it
was their attitude originally
that drove, small business to
the Government and RFC to
get needed financial assistance.
Nor is the SBA too well heeled
for its task of helping small
business directly, having a re-
volving fund of only $55 mill
lion.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Mitchell is
perhaps due credit for the zeal
and energy with which he be-
gan this week a series of meet

to the ordinary voter the diff

In the only field where the

On the subject of foreign

the "only sizeable demand"

Mccarthy Inquiriing
Into GP0 Security
ION Secret Printinu

The Senate Investigations Sub
committee headed by Senator
Mccarthy is looking into Sc
curity arrangements at the
Government Printing Office,
after revealing yesterday that
it has learned "a very substantial,
amount" of confidential and
secret work is processed there for
various agencies.
Senator Dirksen. Republican,
Of Illinois, said their material
includes work transmitted to the
big. print shop by the Central. IN
telligence Agency, the, Atomic
Energy Commission, the State
and Defense Departments.
The committee got into the
question of how classified docu-
ments are handled at the print
ing office while conducting pre-
liminary closed door hearings
into what Senator Mccarthy
described as charges of Commu-
mist activities by an individual
presently in Government service.
Public Hearing Monday.
In advance of a public hearing
scheduled to start Monday
morning, the. committee is not
divulging names of witnesses
who have been examined in the
past two days. Although the
committee has not announced
it officially, reliable sources say
the current inquiry centers
around the printing Office.
An attorney for one Of the wit
nesSeS told reporters his client is
a Government bookbinder who
never handles secret documents.
The attorney, Stanley Frosh of
Washington, named his clients
as Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Roths-
child He said Mr.. RothSchild
was one of four witnesses who
appeared Monday before Senator
McCarthy'S subcommittee.
"Mr. RothSchild is a laborer-
a bookbinder," Mr.. Frosh said
last night in a statement. "He
does not work on documents clas-
sif1ed as top secret.
"He in no way indicated that
there was a lack of security pre-
cautions in the Government
Printing Office. His testimony
was to the contrary"
After conferring, with officials
Of the printing Office yesterday
afternoon, Senator Dirksen told
reporters: ., ,.

"We are now quite certain q
very substantial amount of con-
f1dential, secret and top-secret
work has been processed and
published in the main Govern
ment Printing Office, and we
have. been exploring the posi-
bility Of any person who was so
inclined purloining a secret doc
ument and transmitting it into
hands where it should not be-"

that he has passed UP an invi-

Blame for Debt Row
Laid 10 Congress for
Budget Law LaxitY
BY J. A. O'Leory

Senator Monroney. Democrat.
of Oklahoma, said today that if
Congress had lived up to the
budget ceiling law passed by
Congress in 1946 it would not
now be facing a possible increase
in the $275 billion debt limit.
He was referring to the La Fol-
lette- -Monroney Act which di-
rected both houses to estimate
at the beginning Of each session
the total income and outgo of the
Government for the ensuing year.
The law provided that. when
ever the estimate Of expenditures
exceeded the prospective tax COL
lections, Congress would have to
vote on a resolution, authorizing
an increase in the public debt to
cover the difference.
The theory behind the law was
that if Senators and Representa-
tives had to go on record for a
deficit before any of the appro-
Epriations bills we're acted upon,
there would be more support for
economy and a balanced budget.
Congress tried the budget CELL
ing procedure for a few years,
but it lost popularity in both
houses and for more than four
years has been allowed to fall
into disuse. although the original
act was never changed.
Senator Monroney said he be-
lieves that to revive the 1916
plan and make it effective. Con-
gress should go one step further
and complete the passage Of the
Mcclellan bill to create a joint
House-Senate budget commit
tee. This committee would be
equipped with a staff of experts
who could carry on the necessary
research throughout the year to
enable Congress to fix a ceiling
on expenditures at the start of
each session.
The Mcclellan bill passed the
Senate in May, but was side
tracked in the House Rules Com
mittee, where it could still be
considered the next session.
