large-scale mutinies in the Red
Army in Germany after Stains
death, a refugee Russian soldier
said yesterday.
Pvt. Leonid Pavlovich Ashikh-
min bolted to the West two

The 20-year-old soldier made

real-life fugitive was helped to
safety by the Russian-born film
director, Victor Vicas.
Pvt. AShikhmin said so manv
men were involved in the mutt
MES that Russian officers could
not punish them all. A few men
were taken from the mutinous
companies and sentenced to long
prison terms or transferred to
punishment battalions, he said.

Nasser Says Suez
Will Be Available 10
West in Emergency
BY the Assoeioied Press

CAIRO. Egypt, Aug. 14-Hopes
for solution of the Anglo -Egyp-
tian dispute over the Suez rose
today after Vice Premier Canal
Abdel Nasser said Egypt is will
ing to make the giant base avail
able to the West in an emer-
gency.
NasSer said in an interview last
night the West could use the
base provided Egyptian soyer-
eighty was honored. He insisted
that Egypt should have the final
Say-so on when non-Egyptian
troops should be admitted.
Blocks Agreement.
This point has been a major
factor blocking agreement over
evacuation of the 10000 British
troops now defending the 104-
mile waterway.
NaSSer denied earlier reports
yesterday that Egypt had de-
cided to break off current in
formal talks with Britain over
the Canal Zones future.
His statement was the first
public expression by a respon-
sible official that Egypt might
allow the West back in the Suex
under certain conditions. It was
received with enthusiasm by
British circles in Cairo, which
had been worried by the earlier
reports of a breakdown in the
Anglo-E Egyptian contacts.
Not q Commitment.
However, it was not consid-
cred a commitment that Egypt
would join the Middle East De-
tense Organization proposed by
the West. The Egyptians have
insisted that this will not be
brought up in the discussions
with Britain.
Availability Of the base in case
OF emergency was said to be the
main United States desire in any
settlement.

Right now the basement floor
is the, envy of all Riggs staff
members It is air-conditioned
throughout. A separate room
now is provided for real estate,
Government savings, War Bonds

moved to the basement, just off
the safety deposit vaults, to give

President Truman's place in
history? Everyone who writes
history, especially contempora-
neouS history, has a right to
his own Interpretation but it
should not be surprising if the
place accorded by many histo-
rians to the outgoing Chief Ex-
ecutive is on a page Just along
side Of President Harding.
More than any other Presi-
dent to whom he could ne COM
pared. Mr.. Truman strangely
parallels the experience Of Re-
publican President Warren
Harding.
The parallel becomes eSpeci-
ally pertinent when one re-
calls that Charles Evans
Hughes, later Chief Justice of
the United States, occupied
the post Of Secretary of State
during the Harding Admins
tration and made a record that
far surpassed anything accom-
plished up to that time by any
other Secretary Of State in
American history.
Mr.. Harding had the same
sort of personal admiration
for Charles Evans Hughes that
Mr.. Truman has for Dean
Acheson. Hes a star" was
the way President Harding de-
Scribed him to his friends.
And a re-reading of the edi-
torials Of those days will bring
to mind the superlatives of
praise which were heaped on
Mr.. Hughes.
The Hughes foreign policy
was as little the work Of Presi-
dent Harding as the Acheson
foreign policy is today the
work of the outgoing Presi-
dent. Yet. curiously enough.
in the editorials praising
President Truman and in the
farewells Of adulation from his
own encourage it is the
achievements" in the foreign
policy field that are usually
mentioned first as giving Mr..
Truman q high place in hist
ory. II anyone deserves a high
place for them it Is Dean
AcheSon Just as was being said
thirty years ago about Charles
Evans Hughes.

Korea and North Africa.
There are strong forces in
Turkey (21 divisions). Greece
(l0 divisions) and Italy (six
diviSions). But none of these
forces can be used against .
possible Red onslaught.
France agreed when the
North Atlantic pact was Gre
ated to provide the bulk Of the
ground forces. Her military
traditions and her population
justified this undertaking.
Since she first put her diyi-
sions in combat shape in 1851.
she has increased her man
power contribution to the
NATO by only one-third Of one
division. America has aug
mented her forces In Europe by
two divisions in the same

borders of the U. S. s. r.. They
cannot be physically employed
for the defense Of Western
Europe.
Gen. Ridgway and his sub
ordinates at SHAPE do not
think that the forces ear
marked to defend the Rhine
can, in the event Of an unex-
pected Red aggression. resist
such an attack for any length
of time. It is for this reason
that the policy Of the new
French government to post

toward world peace. Likewise
his leadership in writing the
nine-power treaty which abol-
ished the Anglo-Japanese Alli-
ance was widely applauded.
Even eight years later the
leading Republican and Dem
ocratic newspapers in New
York spoke editorially of the
Washington Treaty on Arma-
ment as "A monument to in
ternational accommodation
and self-restraint. to co-opera-
ton in avoiding needless
causes Of national antagonism
and in promoting peace"
Prime Minister Lloyd George
told the British Parliament it
was lone of the greatest
achievements for peace in the
history of the world"
It Is true that the subsequent
Roosevelt administration did
not become vigilant when the
Japanese began building up
their Navy again and it is true
that the Democratic admins
tration even as late as 1895
when Japan had served notice
Of her intention to terminate
the treaty was still talking in
terms of reduced navies, but
compliments about preventing
war were as thick in 1921 as
they are today over the Tru-
man-Acheson claim that large
scale war has been avoided up
to now.
It was Mr.. Hughes who laid
down the law to the Soviet
Union and who insisted that
they give up their subversive
propaganda in the United
States as a condition of rec
ognition and he refused to give
diplomatic recognition to Mos
COW because he was distrust-
full of the Communists. He
was reversed by the Roose-
velt administration.
It was Mr.. Hughes who
blazed the trail for non-dis-
elimination against the Chi
nese and Japanese and other
OrientalS who were denied ad-
mission altogether under our
immigration laws and 1t was
Mr.. Hughes who laid the
foundation for the Dawes
Young Plan to bolster the
economy of Europe which was
as important then as Is the
Marshall Plan today. There
was an analogy to the Truman
doctrine in the warning to
Japan in 1921 not to encroach
on Russian territory.
