Taylor Loyalty Notation
Confirmed, Mccarthy Says

"the mere existence of a flag is
not proof of disloyalty. It means
there is derogatory material lin

on by loyalty board.
Senator Mccarthy said Mr..
Young told him Gen. Taylor re-
signed from his Government job
on September Is, 1852, and that
"the file was tagged on October
3, 1882" The Senator said the
flag never has been removed.
Senator Mccarthy said he did
not ask Mr.. Young whether a
loyalty board ever reviewed the
derogatory information the re-
ported flag would indicate. Mr..
Young, however, told reporters
no one had requested review of
the lie, ana tnaC therefore there
had been no hearing.
Senator Mccarthy said he still
has received no reply from off,
Gals at the United States Mill
tary Academy at West Point to
his request for a report on who
invited Gen. Taylor to give a
speech there recently in which
Gen. Taylor criticized Senator
McCarthy's investigation Of the
Army Signal Corps laboratories
at Fort Monmouth, N. j.
In the speech Gen. Taylor had
said that unless Senator Nc
Carthy proves his charges of So
Wet spying at the fort, the Sena-
tor will stand condemned as a
dangerous adventurer who does
not hesitate to gamble with ma
tional security in order to satisfy

Hong Kong Shipper
Intends 10 Continue
Trade With China
BY the Associated Press

HONG KONG. Dec. &C. E,
Marden. chairman of Wheelock,
Marden & Co., whose ships
trade with Communist China
said in his annual report today
the commerce produced no lush
profits but the company intended
to stay in it.
Wheelock, Marden has been a
target for United States con-
gressional criticism several times
because of its traffic with Red
China. Mr.. Marden denied last
May congressional accusations
that the company's ships. had
carried Red troops.
In his report, the chairman
asserted the company had "ad-
hered Loyalty to government reg
ulationS" in its trade with the
Chinese mainland. A British
ban on the export of strategic
items to China. applied after
passage of a United Nations res
olution calling for such an en-
barge, affects this British crown
colony.
Mr.. Marden said the company
had been in the China trade for
almost century and intends to
maintain our position until such
time as we ourselves should de-
eide otherwise"
The chairman charged New
York funds of the Commercial
Investment Co., Ltd, a subsidi-
airy of Wheelock. Marden, had
been "severly restricted on the
grounds that United States au-
thorities have reason to believe
some of its transactions have
been for the Communist account
or alternatively that they may
have rebounded to Communist
benefit" He asserted:
Il can assure you the COM
pany's management has neither
knowledge nor suspicion of any
transaction which could have
had the effect complained of"

Time For A Chance

Every once in WHILE when we haven't anything more
pleasant to wonder about we amuse ourselves by wonder
ing what's eating Time magazine.
We refer now to Times unremittng bias and unfairness
toward Israel Last week the magazine exhibited its
tomary Jaundice in reporting the restoration OF U.s. AID
to the Jewish state.
The story told how the department hurredy
nsated aid after Harold Riegeman, the Republican
Jewish-canddae for mayor of New York boted off to
Jewish vote"
The implication was clear: Jews always vote bloc
and the only possible justification U.S. support of
Israel is the Jewish vote socaed Time practically said

Well, the joke Time magazine last week. as well
Regelman and the Republicans For on the day after
City turned up their at Harold Regelman and
elected Democrat Robert Wagner, Jr.
It would appear, therefore, Time magazine and the he
pubcans the contrary Notwithstanding that Jews do
NOT vote bloc. It also would appear that many Jew
sh voters in New York-and there admittedly lot OF
themfet the lot OF us feel about the Elsen
hover administration and the Republicans in general
That they fundamentally unsympahetc to Israel and
her heroic struggle to become strong and set-rean
democratic bastion in the Middle East
We don't doubt for minute that desire to save the
day for the Republicans New York City, and in other
elections WE'LL acuated the Eisenhower administration
to restore aid Israel For after ALL the administration
had demonstrated it's hostility to Israel by its cavalier
pension of aid without regard for her side of the dispute
and in manifest effort to win Arab favor.
But we reject out of hand any suggestion that former
President Truman supported Israel only because OF the
Jewish vote Mr. Truman recognized % & whaf a. sne hepao If
Israel is sound foreign policy in line with our best inter-
es nation That Israel is the sole hope of democracy

that championing OF Israel inspires nope amongand

which the U N had approved
of such projects as being in
full accord with the armistice
agreements. In any case, Israel
has consulted with UN authorities
at every stage of this work
The entire matter is now before

THERE'S GOOD news tonight
from the Southland.
The B'nai Birth Anti-Defama-
ton League filed a brief in
segregation case in Clarendon, S.
c., recently and two weeks ago
ADL'S Southern units met to con-
slider the action. Heretofore their
policies have followed the tradi-
tional viewpoint of the South which
is giving up segregation very re-
luctantly; and there were those
who wished to ask the national
office not to press the case. But
at this meeting a large majority
voted to endorse the action and
thus courageously went on record
for the first time against segrega-
ton.

he will be a sure favorite among
Israel youngsters after his new

He has assigned the manuscript

New York, (JTA - ISraePs
first land survey, three-year pro-
ject completed last month, reveals
that the country possesses approx
mately 100000 acres about one
fourth of IsraePs total land area
of potentially irrigable land, it was
reported by the Jewish Agency here.
This figure substantially exceeds
previous estimates.
Some 2,375,0O0 acres were sur
veyed by aerial photography and
ground crews. The area involved
stretched from the northern border
to a point some eight miles south
of Beersheba. The remaining g.
100000 acres represent the arid por-
tion of the Negev which is consid-
cred to have very limited immedi-
ate agricultural potential.
Experts estimate that IsraeTs
known water resources could enable
the irrigation of 100000 acres.
About 125,000 acres are currently
under irrigation. This would make
it possible for Israel to feed a pop
ulation of 100000 producing suf-
ficient quantities of all required
staples except wheat and meat, "

groups and leading personalities ex-
pressed satisfaction this week that
the US. government had decided
to resume financial aid to Israel.
The American Zionist Council,
representing all Zionist groups in
this country, sent a telegram to
President Eisenhower expressing
the appreciation of American
friends of Israel" for his decision
to restore economic assistance to
Israel. 1--WE trust that our govern
ment will continue, in the Security
Council, to uphold the cause of
peaceful economic development in
the Middle East and to use it's great
moral authority and prestige to
hasten peace and cooperation be-
tween Israel and the Arab states" !"
said the telegram, which was signed
by Louis LipSky, AzC chairman.
Sen. Herbert H. Lehman. lauding
the governments decision to restore
American aid to Israel, said: "I
hope the Security Council-and the
United States government within
the UN and through normal diplo-
matte channels-will proceed to de-
vote themselves to bringing real
peace and security to this troubled
area. This can be done by patience.

macy. 1t cannot be done by intem-

never had a frontier on the banks
of the Jordan River or on the
banks of the Sea of Galilee. The
present demilitarized zone between
Israel and Syria, through which
IL miles of the canal must be
dug, has never belonged to Syria.
It is part of the land allotted to
Israel by the United Nations in
1947 and invaded by Syrian sold
iers in 1948.
B. Syria has claimed that when
the canal is put in operation it will
flood an island in the Jordan
River. In point of fact, the island
in question which is only 400
square meters in area during the
driest season, is completely SUBJ
merged in the rainy season. Be-
sides, it is ownerless, and has
never been inhabited or cultivated.
In any case, it would not be flooded
by operation of the canal.
c. Syria has also complained
that flour mills owned by Arabs
would be put out of operation, when
actually two of the flour mills lie
north of the opening of the canal
and would in no way be affected
by it, and the other mills have
not been in use for many years.

The World Over

D. The canal would not, as Syria
claims, give a military advantage
to Israel. 1t would be an obstacle
to military maneuverability on the
part of Israel forces seeking to
enter the demilitarized zone or
Syrian forces seeking to enter Is
rael. In other words, it would help
prevent further fighting in that
area.
E. Contrary to Syria's claims,
this project would involve no Arab
owned land in the demilitarized
zone. The government of Israel
gave full access to U.N. personnel
to the Land Registry, to prove that
this charge is false.
F. Three years hence, when the
canal is completed and water from
the Jordan is diverted to operate
projected hydroelectric plant, the
amount of water used will not
affect the flow to Syrian lands
south of the canal. There will be
enough water for every irrigation
purpose. Israel would be willing to
commit herself legally on this
point.
G.. In September, when the canal
was begun, Colonel Tillotson, chair
man of the Israel-Syria Mixed
Armistice Commission, was inform
ed of the plans and made no OBJ
lection to them. That is because
precedent regarding such develop
ment work had already been estab-
lished by previous rulings, in

Charges for power and water.-The
disparity among costs, beneflts, ana

into account possible revision in the
rates, recalculation of the BENEFITS ana

with Basin resources. The text points
out how differing agency detectives,
conflicting departmental oil i s,
plecemeal appropriations, divergen-
cles In technical opinion, and a ma
tural rivalry for governmental power
all conspire against an efficient, bal
anced and smoothly workable pro-
gram. Previously cited are four typi-
cal cases of lack of coordination
resulting in a stalled program.

corps of Engineers apd State of Mis-
souri, have been at logger-heads since
