Col. Dong said he was particu-

correspondent visit him because he
thought it important that the people
of the United States learn what the

this Wet Namese war. The provin-

one-story building of two large
rooms. The left one is occu-
pied by the governor and his
deputy. The rest of his staff of Is
or so has the other room. This
Office is set in one corner of the
square, dominated at the opposite
end by Notre Dame-type cathedral
about so years old.
Standing dwarfed in the middle
of the square was hand pump, the
same kind that appears in farm
yards across the United States
countryside. This pump drew
water up from a we'll installed by
American aid. Two weapons carriers
and our jeep in which sat native
troop guards with American sub
machine guns. completed the scene.
The community pump was the
one place in town where the people
could get fresh water. The weapons
carriers and jeep from America, the
United States-equipped guards and
the French-type Catholic cathedral
looming in the background symbol
lied the two forces which are rally
ing the Wet Namese to battle an
theology they are just now beginning
to understand.
Bosic Troining
In the morning Col. Dong took me
to see basic training camp at a
nearby village. We walked 200 yards
along narrow path bounded by
moldly-smelling rice paddles. AS
we approached the gate of the camp
some one shouted, "Boo!" I was
startled. Apparently the word is the
Wet NameSe equivalent of "Atten-
tion!" because an honor guard of
six fatigue-clad trainees snapped to.
Two were armed with Springfield
rifles, two had French submachine
guns and two had Garands. The
colonel told me that carbines are
preferable to rifles in this war be-
cause the latter are too heavy for
the small Wet Namese soldier to
lug around.
A few more steps past the honor
guard and we were in the compound
of what had formerly been a mon
astery. In the corner at the left
was the parish church, another
handsome structure. with one tower.
Along the outer perimeter Of the
church square were low lines of
buildings. They had once been the

the total won't run very high," one
general commented.

Much has been said about the So
called training divisions and pos
sible manpower savings there. The
Army had 10 Of these-which are

be in Israel, $4,000 In Jordan and
1000 in Syria. Two power dams
would be built to begin with-one
in the upper Jordan Valley with the
reservoir in Lebanon and the power
plant in Israel; the other on the
lower Yarmuk River in Jordan. The
cost of about $121 million would be
met by the u. NJ, with the United
States shouldering the lions share.
If it went through the project
would have three additional results
of great economic and political i'm
portance. They are:
The settlement of water rights
between the four countries-a mat
ter of some consequence in an area
where men kill each other quicker
over water than anything else.
. The means of settlement of a
considerable proportion of 875,00O
Arab refugees in Jordan, now living
in indeScribable camps and increaS-
ing at the rate of $4,000 a year.. The
American share alone for support
ing these people has come to $154
million in four years-more than the
total cost Of the development prof.
ect.
. Reduce the danger of border
incidents and increase political sta
bility by giving the refugees hope
and a better place to live.
Sensible as it might seem. the
project was impractical as long as
il called on the Arabs and Israelis
to sit down together and talk in a
friendly way.
Unusual Solution
To get around this. Mr. Johnston
was authorized to offer an unusual
solution. The United States, or the
U. NJ, he suggested, would be willing
70 enter into separate pacts with
each of the countries involved. 1t
would take over the actual respon-
sibility for building and running the
project. The Arabs and Israelis
could stay mad at each other as
long as they wanted, and still reap
the benefits Of the development plan.
Mr.. Johnston didn't threaten any
BODY. But at the same time, he
dropped many gentle hint of what
American reaction would be if the
proposal were turned down. The
plan, he pointed out, offers a prac-
tical solution to some of the most
pressing economic problems in the
area. And the American govern
ment is not willing to continue in
definitely pouring money into the
area at the present annual rate of
about $3.50 million.
In the end, it seems. they listened.
Today the Israeli are making ia
vorable noises and pointing out that
they have been for regional water
development all along.
For their part, the Arabs seem
willing at least to rescind their first
outright rejection. If only in defer
ence to the effect on public opinion
in this country. they are ready to go
through the motions of studying the
U. N. plan carefully and reservine
their final decision.
For the moment, this is enough
for Mr.. Johnston. The details of
the project are bound to bring fresh
disagreements, but the details can
wait. The customer hasn't been sold
on the first trip, but he has shown
signs of softening. For the moment,
the door may still be closed, but,
at least, it isn't locked fast.
On his next trip in February,
Salesman Johnston hopes, with luck,
to get his foot in. And in time
perhaps within the next year or
So-the Arabs and the Israeli may
be willing to talk business.

Middle East
Eric Johnston Strikes an Optimistic Note
In His Report on Arob-sroeI Relations
By Crosby S. Moves

Movieman Eric Johnston's recent
trip to the Middle East and the out
look Of developing the water re-
sources of the Jordan River have
been the subjects Of conflicting
reports.
While he was away the word got
around that the trip was a total
flop. In Jordan-one of the inter-
ested states-a government SpokeS-
man rejected the development
scheme as unacceptable to the Arab
peoples and refugees"
In reporting to the President last
week, however, Mr.. Johnston struck
an optimistic note. Israel and its
Arab neighbor, he said, have agreed
to study the U. N. plan with an
''open mind" He had reason to
believe that on serious scrutiny the
plan would commend itself as sound
and constructive. Later, Secretary
Dulles told reporters that the project
was very much alive and that he
hoped it would be adopted.
Obviously, either something had
happened to brighten the outlook
since the beginning Of the Johnston
expedition or somebody was talking
through his hat. The answer may
be found in a closer look at the
picture.
Qualified Optimism
To begin with, Mr.. Johnston's
optimism is hedged by important
qualifications, some of which he out
lined to reporters after talking to
the President. The first of these
lies in fuller explanation of what
he was up to on his recent trip.
He was not. as first reported, sent,
out as a SuperSalesman to sign
up Israel, Jordan, Syria and Leb-
anon for the scheme developed for
the U. NJ by engineers of the Ten
nessee Valley Authority. His mis-
sion was less ambitious: To prepare
the ground for the report which
was to be submitted to the U. NJ;
to forestall quick and ill-consid-
cred rejection of the project, and,
above all, to head off independent
action by any individual country
that might wreck the overall plan
and lead to new hostilities in the
area.
He came at bad time. Just as
Mr.. Johnston reached Paris on his
way to the Near East, border in
cident at Kibya plunged the area
into violent turmoil. Mr.. Johnston
diverted his trip to London, where
Mr.. Dulles was meeting with Brit
ish Foreign Minister Eden. There
was a sober" discussion before the
decision was made to go ahead with
the trip.
There is no denying that he ran
into hostility and resistance when
he first arrived in the Eastern capi-
tails. Neither side was particularly
overjoyed by the visit of the Presi-
dents envoy. The Arabs attacked
him for his connection with the
movie industry-which they look on
as a major support for the State of
Israel. In Tel Aviv he was carica-
tured as a paunchy william, carving
up the new state and dividing the
tidbits among the Arab mob.
Suspicion Wones
Gradually, however. the suspicion
wore of. The editorial cries of
Johnston. go home" quieted as he
unfolded his project which seemed
to have something in it for every
one.
AS he explained it, the project
would provide irrigation for some
233, 900 acres. Of which $4,000 would

grade "a" milk" Keith conclud-
ed.
Mrs. Keith, as one can observe,
is quite hustler on the farm.
She seemed to take quite a
delight in showing us the i'm
provements they were asked to
make modern to get under the
grade "a" classification. 1t re-
quired setting up milkhouse

took to her milking chore just
like a duck takes to water. She
hurriedly arranged the auto

flowed freely in one of the many
processes before it reaches the
Caldwell Produce Company.
Pictured below is the spotlesS

Like all other dairymen, the
Keiths were compelled to meet

noted by the county board of

One Year OF Preparation And Hard Work
ConcIusiveIy Proves Dairy Venture Successful

Russell Keith, youthful
looking farmer, who owns and
operates a fifty-five acre farm
north of Caldwell, looks to the
future with the idea that gold
is where you find it. Some pros
pectors have to dig for it, others
find it on the top of the ground.
In the case of Russell Keith
and his cooperative wife, they
set their sights on future dairy
business that after one year,
every indication points that a
bulls eye was scored.
Setting up for grade "a" was
no picnic" commented Mrs.
Keith, who before her marriage
was Marie CHM, of Ava. "A
lot of work was involved, but
after it was done, we're glad
it's all over with for there is a
lot of satisfaction in getting out
quality milk.

any takes all our milk produc-
ton, which amounts to about 40
gallons a day, or about 800
pounds. This is a yearly aver

perhaps the finest in the county.

The first year we gained four
females and this year we got
