Mr.. Dior has wanted to design

At the recent Kid Leather
Guild Luncheon we attended we
particularly enjoyed the talk by
DR.. Claudia De Lys, the social
anthropologist and author, who
feels that fashion, whether in
garments or footwear, is faith
full reflector of mans culture.
One can reconstruct the history
of the last 5000 years at least
by studying the pictorial record
of the fashions of these fifty
centuries. she claims. Some Of
the superStitions she brought out
in her talk prove enlightening
since we still abide by some of
them. For example, in darkening
your lasheS with mascara you
are following an ancient super
stition. Mascara was effected into
a circle to ward off the Evil
Eye"
IN MAKEUP the accent will
be on the eyes (no pun intended)
and the eyebrows will be played
up. In eyeshadow spreading, the
trick will be to spread it over
the whole eyelid. Brows are to be
widely arched and be clearly but
lightly marked with eyebrow
pencnling. This is the latest word
from the Coty makeup experts.

TN A SPEECH in New York last
l. week, Secretary of State Dulles
called for world society of con-
sent" in which unity would flow
from the free acceptance of con-
cepts which override differences"
In two trouble spots on the earth's
surface concepts which override
differences appeared to be gradu-
ally taking hold.
At the head of the Adriatic Sea,
the concept of a f1ve-power con-
ference to settle differences be-
tween YugoSlavia and Italy over
Trieste gained ground steadily fol-
lowing the BritiSh-U. S. decision to
keep occupation troops in Zone A
for a while longer. The Allies
original plan to withdraw and turn
Zone A over to Italy had prompted
all sorts Of raucouS protests from
Yugoslav Marshal Tito, who con-
trolls Zone B. But now the anti
Moscow Communist dictator was
abandoning war talk and prepar-
ing to sit down at the conference
table with Italy, France, the United
States and Britain. Out of the
talks might come a final settle
ment of the hotly contested port
area, and with it the removal of
one of the fostering sores of West
ern diplomacy.

the Arab-Israel war in 1949. The
Arab countries formally protested
what they said were three serious
Israeli tranSgreSsions: First, con-
struction of a dam in the Jordan

without the consent of Syria; Sec
ond, a raid on the Jordan village
of Kibya which ended in the death
of more than go civilians, and,
third, Israeli troop movements into
the demilitarized town of Ell Auja
on the Egyptian border.
The Israeli government refused
to take the blame in those Incl
dents and offered protests of her
own over, first, the blowing up of
a train on the Israeli side of the
border near the Jordanian town of
Tulkarm, an incident for which
Jordan, according to a U. N. armi-
Stice commission was to blame,

brash and fast-talking Republican
Representative Alvin E. ,O'Konski.
Last week Mr.. O'Konski rushed in
where all the angels are treading
very softly. With a fine disregard
for the laborious efforts of the
Eisenhower administration, he at
tempted to ignite that explosive
old ASiatic tinder-box, President
Syngman Rhee of Korea.
Mr.. OKonski, luSting for action,
wrote-and thoughtfully released
to the press-a long letter to DR..
Rhee. "The entire civilized world
is shocked at the shameful Csic]
mistreatment the $4,000 help
less patriots are receiving from the
United Nations and from the So
called Neutral Commission" Mr..
O'Konski's letter said. Their con-
science is nauseated by the inhu-
man, unmerciful and un-Christian
conduct of these groups, and I
am sad to say, including my own
country"
The Only Way Out
The only way out, Mr.. O'Konski
advised, is for DR.. Rhee to do ex-
actly what the American Govern
ment is afraid he will do:
would that God grant you the
courage and vision to liberate
those remaining helpless patriots
as you did the others. The selfish
and the appeaserS would condemn
you-but the free people the world
over would praise you and if need
be die, rather than be an observer
to this SadiStic and crudest of in
ternational infamies. May the
blessings of Almighty God be with
you always, I am prayerfully yours,
Alvin E. O'Konski, NC"
Not since his fellow Wisconsin,
ite, Senator Mccarthy, shouldered
his way into the controversy over
allied trade with Red China had
a member of Congress so blatantly
tried to interfere with the Execu-
tive'S conduct of foreign affairs.
Nothing happened to Joe, and it
appeared nothing would happen to
Alvin, either. (He snorted that he
wasn't surprised that "Commu-
nists and their blind compatriots
would twist my words."O The

letter, and everybody talked about
the Logan Act.
But one factor weighed heavily
in Mr.. O'KonSki'S favor: No one
ever has been prosecuted for vio-
lating the act, and the admins
tration would scarcely set the
precedent with a Congressman
and a Republican one at that.

OF another, and they are quite
happy that the organisms for re-
search, for looking into all these
problems, are trying to approach
it In a comprehensive basis.
Here again, there was comment
from Senator Young.
"If the administration has a
farm policy now" he snapped, II
certainly do not know what it is,
nor, I believe, does any one else.
This is a sad state of affairs after
having been in Office nearly 10
months"
At weeks end, the chorus of de-
mands that Secretary Benson re-
sign was still rising despite the
Presidents stubborn loyalty. And
Mr.. Benson was doing his best to
increase 1t by falling for a grand
stand play engineered by the Ma
tional Farmers Union. The NFU
announced it was organizing a
250-man caravan of cattle -raiSers"
to go to Washington and tell the
President and the Secretary all
about the cattle crisis. The Secre-
tary wired the NFU and urged that
the caravan be called off because
it would expose working CATTLE
men to hardship" and would
accomplish nothing" Precisely
what "hardships" lurked on the
road or in Washington for men
Injured to the droughtS and bliz-
yards of the Western Plains,
Secretary Benson did not specify.
Instead of a mass meeting sought
by the Farmers Union, Mr. Benson
suggested conference size regional
meetings" The NFU responded
coldly that it was too late to call
off the caravan now. After a
worried conference with the Pres
ident, Mr.. Benson promised an
improved" farm program-even-
tually.

Drought

THERE WAS one thing happen
l. ing on the agricultural scene,
meanwhile, that could not be
blamed on Mr.. Benson and his farm
policy. And by the same token,
the beleaguered Republicans could
not charge it up as a holdover
from the bad old Brannan days.
This event was a drought Of
national proportions-one that
escaped being utterly disastrous
for farmers only because most
crops already have ripened.
For six weeks, more than half
the country has been receiving less
than one-fourth of its normal
amount of rain. Much of this area
has had less than 10 per cent Of
normal rainfall. Except for two
corners of the United States, rain
fall in the rest of the country has
been only half of normal.
The most serious effect of the
drought, as the long dry spell wore
on, was on forests. Most of the
wooded areas of the United States,
except for the confer regions of
the Pacific Northwest, are tinder-
dry. In Virginia and West Vir-
ginia, forest fires last week spread
terror across thousands of square
miles, and Virginia closed Jeffer-
son and George Washington Ma
tional Forests. In the Washington
area, where only half an inch had
fallen in a month and half, lawns
turned brown for want of rain. A
weekend sprinkle was little help.
Like everything else about the
weather, this too would pass away.
But the Weather Bureau, hopeful
of rain in many parts of the coun-
try in the coming week, warned
against undue optimism.

Farm Problems

Having rocked his party back
on its heels, the President last
week proceeded to prop up his
sagging Secretary of Agriculture,
Ezra Taft Benson. Mr.. Benson,
squarely in the middle of the farm
crisis, recently has received much
bipartisan advice-to resign. Last
week his boss said no, simulta-
neously dismisSing the farm
problem as a much-exaggerated
episode.
He was, the President told his
press conference, thoroughly
aware of the criticism. But, he
said sharply, he believes it is the
Presidents responsibility to de-
eide 10ho should be his principal
associates and advisers. He has
seen no one more dedicated to
America than Mr.. Benson. He has
seen no man 1Oho is more anxious
to get the tUeltare Of America, the
consumer IN the city, the user of
grain, the producer of grain, the
user of beet, the producer of beef,
to get all OF them in fair posi-
ton 1Uith each other than is Sec
retary Benson. NoW, because he
can't produce miraculous, one
line cure for all the eUilS, he, (the
President) for one, is not going to
be critical, because he has studied
it himself. [Italics paraphrase
Presidents remarks.l
Furthermore, Gen. Eisenhower
said, if he had to sum up the farm
situation as he saw it ON his re-
cent f1ve-State trip, he aUould sag
that he thought the cdttlemen
and farmers 1Oere taking this more
in their stride and, after all, he
had in his little home totDn of Abi-
lene had lunch with 90 people,
most OF Uhom, If they are not
farmers themselves, o1Un farms,
and certainly, in Uie1O Of his back
ground tDith them, there Das no
reason for them for holding back
anything they 10Gnted to say; and
his impression 1OaS they were not
as concerned as some of the people
a0ho Uisit his o69te.
Ho1OeUer, they don't minimize
the seriousness of this thing, and
they do hope that long-rdnge
program can be 1Dorked out that
Uul insure them against the ca
lan1ity 10hen they haze no control
ouer it.
One of the main problems, the
President said, is that there are
just too many cattle in the United
States. Farmers, he explained, are
happy that he has appointed prac-
tical farmers, operating farmers
to the Secretary of Agriculture's
special advisory commission. And
they also understand that there is
no special and specific GnSWer for
one farm problem to the exclusion

went on to score the administra-
tion's "lack of farm policy" and
"glorif1ed Truman giveaway for
eign program"
Concept Of Office
Even more important than its
effect on Republican chances in
1854 was the light the Presidents
statement threw on his own con-
cept of his Office. Not since George
Washington has there been an
American Chief Executive quite so
taken with the idea that he should
preside benignly over the destinies
of the Nation without ever really
mixing into things.
Where this noble idea came from,
nobody could imagine; yet many
felt justified in pointing out that
not even Washington, aided by
all the prestige of the first presi-
dency, had been able to maintain
it for any length of time. How,
they wanted to know, did PreSi-
dent Eisenhower think he could
run a partisan government domi-
mated by partisan politics by re-
fusing to be even constructively
partisan himself?
After the initial uproar died
down, professional politicians saw
one of two courses open to the
President: Either the old, thread
bare inspection trip" technique
of Franklin Roosevelt, or a frank
retreat in off the limb he now
occupies. The betting seemed to
favor the latter alternative.

O'Konski

In 1898, some 155 years before
the prisoner exchange in Korea,
George Logan, gentleman farmer
and philanthropist, saw that
France was about to break off dip
lomatic relations with the United
States. In his good-natured way
he hied him to Paris to talk the
French out of it, and presently,
having been handsomely wined
and dined by M. Talleyrand and
others, he came home with a
happy smile to tell President
Adams and ex-President Washing
ton that he had succeeded.
To his surprise, these two Fed
eralists were not as happy. He had
bypaSsed the State Departments
passport bureau, travelling only
with letters of introduction from
Thomas Jefferson, an opponent of
the administration. Accordingly in
1899 the Federalist-controlled
Congress passed the so-called
Logan Act" designed to forbid
private citizens from conducting
direct negotiations with foreign
governments. This did not daunt
Mr.. Logan, who, after a term as
Senator, made similar peace
seeking trip to England IL years
later. Nor, 1t must be confessed,
has it ever daunted any one else
with an urge to take his country'S
diplomacy into his own hands.
The latest to do so, rather far
from Mr.. Logan in both back
ground and motive, is WisconSin'S
Evening star., 1953-10-25

in an attempt to hold the loyalty
of colonial peoples who might
otherwise want to break away
began to come to terms with the
native desire for freedom. After
seven years of jungle war against
Communists, the French govern
ment was finally getting ready to
grant formal independence to the
three Indo- Chinese StateS-as long
as they agreed to remain within
the French Union.
Laos was the first to take the
central government up on an offer
originally made last July 8. A
treaty was signed in Paris, declar-
ing the tiny state to be fully in
dependent and sovereign" though
still within the French Union-a
neat bit of Gilbert and Sullivan
by-play, but still, seemingly, good
enough for President Auriol of
France and King Sisavang Wong
of Laos. A similar treaty will soon
be signed with Cambodia, follow
ing military agreement dividing
command of the fighting forces
in the country between French
and Cambodian officers. Only
Wet Nam, scene of most of the
Communist fighting, remains re-
calcitrant. It's informal National
Wet Nam Congress recently passed
resolution rejecting member
ship in the French Union "in its
present form" Paris has dis
patched a stern note to Bao Dai,
chief of state, demanding to know
whether Wet Nam intends to re-
main in the Union or not.
The French expect that it will,
and plan in due course to sign
treaty similar to those with Laos
and Cambodia.
The weeks steps toward settle
ment of tensions in Trieste and
Indo-China were not earth-shak-
ing, but in an era in which every
bit of goodwill counts, they had
their value. At least they were
items on the plus side of a ledger
which contains, in the Middle East
and elsewhere, a good many on
the minus.

Atom

THE GOVERNMENT decided
l. last week to do something
about the peacetime uses Of
atomic energy. The new policy
was billed by Atomic Energy Com
missioner Thomas E. Murray,
as Americas significant
peacetime answer to recent Soviet
tests"
The Westinghouse Corp, Mr..
Murray said, would build an in
dustrial power reactor of at least
60,000-kilowatt capacity-enough
power to serve a city of 100000.
The site will be at or near a plant
where uranium -235 is separated
from natural uranium. A discon-
tinued design inherited from a
naval project" on which West
inghouse also worked, will be the
basis for the project. Rear Ad-
miral H. G. Rickover, the Navy'S
atomic expert, will be in charge.
1t should be completed in three
or four years.
Mr.. Murray soothed nervous
utility magnateS by remarking
that atomic power would cost more
than ordinary power. He also said
the work should gradually be
transferred from the Federal Gov
ernment so that eventually in
dustry will be carrying the greater
burden" Anyway, he added, the
purpose Of the project was not
power for powers sake. Rather, 1t
was to furnish the United States
with a barterable commodity:
American know-how in exchange
for foreign uranium with which
America can build more bombs
to compete with Russia.
Not so easily mollified was a
group called Uranium Industry
Association" which promptly
issued a handout denouncing the
project and stating that an in
junction would be sought.
