odS OF these TWO p0liClcal mavericks
which might usefully be taken into
account by Britons inveighing
against McCarthyism and Americans
fuming about Bevanism. Moderates
in both countries realize that the
two are not typical. but o sort Of
white mans burden" which demo-
cracies have to shoulder from time
to time.
The. first point in common is that
the supporters of both men would
furiously resent this description Of
their respective champions, but hail
it as a true portrait of the other fell
low. The description may not. in
fact. hit the nail on the head-but
it is close enough to strike the
thumb!
Both these demagogues have many
things in common and at the same
time some striking contrasts. An
outstanding joint item is their stand
ard Of parliamentary manners, which
led Sir winston Churchill to dub Mr..
Bevan "a merchant Of discourtesy."
Exploit Feors
Both use xenophobia, fear and
hatred of foreigners, as a stock ap-
peal and diversion. Mr.. Bevan out
thunders the Kremlin in his denun-
citation Of "the war-mongers of Wall
Street." But in private CONVERSE
tions he takes a much less biased
view.
His public campaign against the
wicked Americans is seconded by his
wife, Jennie Lee. She recently did
q barn n-storming tour in Canada in
which she played on current Canad-
ian irritations against their good
neighbor." The moderates regretted
it, but she got her hand.
It is hard to see how these tactics
help Bevan in his struggle for power
in England. but anger and hatred
soon get to be an end in themselves.
Senator Mccarthy extemporized
charges against Britain for plying
'blood trade with our mortal enemy"
This particular phrase originally ap-
pears to have been dreamed up half
way through televising prepared
statement on the China shipping
negotiation" last fall. II think
I'll add to this" he observed to q
small group of conditioned sceptics
who had dogged him to make sure
he had followed copy on his hand
out.
. His addition was q condescending
assertion that President Eisenhower
did his best when he knew what the
score was and an appeal to food the
White House with letters and tele-
grams backing up the Mccarthy
view. The appeal was flop, but it
can be tried again. Both Senator
Mccarthy and Mr.. Bevan are always
ready to give the wheel Of fortune
another whirl.
Both men have divisive effect on
everything they touch. Mr.. Bevan
has twice wrecked the unity of the
British Labor Party. The reckless
ness with which he attacks Clement
Attlee, the party head, and its other
leaders led to his expulsion. Now he

Geographic Foctors

No objective consideration of the
major factors In the controversy Is
possible without an understanding
Of the Importance of water to the
tntermountain West. The availability
or lack Of water spells success or
failure - almost literally life or
death-to the growth and develop
ment Of an immense area of
America.
The earliest settlers in Utah-the
Mormon pioneers Of 1847-turned
the waters of little canyon streams
at the base Of the mountains onto
the arid soil, and made the desert
to blossom as the rose" Narrow
green strips appeared along the
western slopes of the Wasatch
Range, and in these oaSeS grew the
ranches, villages and cities of Utah.
The region proSpered with the
years, but the rate and extent of its
growth and prosperity has been gov
erned largely by the supply of water.
Every possible water source has been
carefully exploited. Every rancher.
every neighbor has been allotted his
fair share, measured almost to the
drop.
The experience of Utah has been
duplicated throughout the vast area.
Expansion and development of the
entire intermountain West appears
to have reached its limit unless new
and dependable sources of water can
be found. The need is pressing
and absolute. The Upper Colorado
River system alone offers a water
source adequate and dependable
enough to fill the need.
Interstate Agreement
The Lower Colorado River basin
already serves much of California,
Nevada and Arizona with water and
power. It's Importance to these
States is unmeaSurable. An inter-
state compact was signed in 1922 to
control and apportion the water re-
sources to the States affected. A re-
quirement of this compact specifies
that the Upper Colorado basin States
will allow a prescribed minimum
amount Of water to reach the lower
basin. The upper basin States
Wyoming, Utah, Colorado and New
Mexico-are allotted a share of the
rivers supply.
But river flow is cyclical; a period
Of plenty will invariably be followed
by a "dry" cycle of several years.
Reclamation engineers have there
fore projected storage function for
the proposed Upper Colorado prof.
ect. so that the upper basin States,
In addition to providing for their
own allotted needs, will be able to
fulf1n their obligation to the lower
basin States in the dry years.
The ultimate development Of the
upper basin during the next. half
century will find the entire river
system controlled by q series of
major dams and reservoirs. The
streams flowing into the Colorado
the San Juan. rising in New Mexico;
the Green, rising in Wyoming and
flowing southwark through Utah,
and the Yampa, which rises in
Colorado and joins the Green in
Dinosaur National Monument just
above the site Of the controversial
Echo Park dam-will be developed
by the Upper Colorado project as its
phases are completed. Conservation
groups are determined that none of
these projected dams encroach on
irreplaceable natural features and
scenic wonders set aside as national
parks or monuments for the perma-
nent enrichment Of the Nation.

Airnen Observe AviatiOn's 5lst Birthday Today

WASHINGTON, R-A ir m n throughout the nation observed aviation's 5lst birthday today and wound up a year-long celebration of it's progress during its first half century.

Hammarskjold
 Accepts Invitation For Talks China

PARIS, R-Leaders of the free world today adopted a new de- fense strategy based on atomic firepower and agreed on the way new weapons can be used in the event of an attack by the Commit mist bloc.
 The foreign, defense and fin ance ministers of the IA North Atlantic Treaty powers set the role of atomic weapons during a tightly closed session. They prom ised a communique on their deci- sion later today or tormorroW.
 After adoption of defense plans drafted by the chiefs of staff of NATO members. giving nuclear firepower a place in NATO's "new look" arsenal, the ministers excluded most of their advisers from the closed meeting. Then they took up the controversial question of who can decide on resort to atomic arms-military men or their governments.
 The US. position has been that although only civilian authorities can "pull the trigger" and all gov ernments concerned should be consulted as much as possible be- fore atomic weapons are used, that this consultation should not be made an absolute condition hampering military commanders.

Free World Leaders Adopt New Strategy

UNITED NATIONS, NY, R- JUN. Secretary General Dag Ham, marskjold today accepted an invi tation for face o-face talks with Red China's Chou En-lai in Pei ping.
 The exchange of messages grew out of resolution adopted by the JUN. General Assembly last Fri day condemning the Peiping re- gime for holding the fliers and directing the secretary general to do his best to win their release.
 Hammarskjold immediately sent off a cable proposing direct talks with Chou.
 He received two cables from the Communist leader this morning: one denouncing the Assembly's action as illegal and the other say ing he would receive Hammar- skiold for talks at date to be de- cided upon by the secretary gen. eral.
 In reply, Hammarskjold sent two cables. The first merely ac- knowledged the receipt of Chou's blast against the Assembly and informed Chou that the message was being circulated to JUN. mem bers.
 The second said:
 q acknowledge receipt of your cable Mo- 38 of IT December con- corning my proposal for a visit to Peiping. I look forward to the opportunity of meeting you. In view of the necessary practical arrangements, I am not yet in a position to fix a date for the ar rival nor can I say definitely who will come with me- I may get an opportunity for the first contact concerning some of these practi- cal arrangements with your am- bassador in Stockholm"

Pope, Plus Condition Still Serious Despite Optimistic X Ray Report

VATICAN CITY, Preliminary reports of X rays taken Thursday of Pope Plus XII showed that he is suffering from a small hernia of the esophagus and resultant gastritis.
 This means, in general, that there is an abnormal pocket in the tube that carries food from the throat to the stomach, and there is also inflammation of the stomach.
 Specialists planned a detailed study of the X ray plates later but the Pope's personal physician, Dr. Riccardo Galeazzi-Lisi, described the hernia as of small impor- tance" and added that the exami- nation did not show the presence of an ulcer.
 The Pope remained gravely ill today and his weakness continues, his doctor reported. His statement confirmed previous word from Vatican sources that despite opti- mistic reports following the X ray the Pope's condition remains seri- ous.

Doctor Predicts World Troubles For Next Tuesday

CHICAGO, R-A jobless col lege doctor predicts the world will be racked with terrible trouble next Tuesday but says he never said it would be the end of the world.
 Violent upheavals-in the form of disastrous life-engulfing tidal Waves-Will strike down man near Lake Michigan and on the eastern and western coasts, says Dr. Charles Laughead, who until Wednesday was a staff doctor at Michigan State College, East Lan- sing, Mich.
 The doctor claims a second hand contact with outer space" and says communication received by friends with first-hand con tact indicate catastrophe events for the world.
 Among the things that might happen, he said in an interview yesterday, would be the material ization of the legendary islands of Atlantis and Mu-"the birthplace of humanity" Fable has placed Atlantis in the Atlantic Ocean, near the site of what is now Mad agascar.
 These views led to Laughead's departure from MISC, in the form of a resignation which he said was demanded.
 The president of the college said the college had no objection to Laughead's beliefs but object ed to the doctors "propagandiz- ing" students lon a peculiar set of beliefs of questionable valid- ity" that would affect adversely the quality of their college work"

About-Foce
Sought On
Christianity

LAWRENCE. KAMA call for
a simple about-face of mans
principles TO Christian ways was
made recently here at national
conference of Methodist students.
The plea was from DR.. Glenn
a. Olds. chaplain and professor
of religion at Denver Univers-
iiy. before $500 persons at
tending the fifth quadrennial
conference Of the Methodist Stu
dent Movement at the Univer-
sitY OF Kansas.
DR.. Olds said a conversion has
three movements grounded IN
God and guiding man.
Order of God
1.-THE first" he said, lis the
order of God. the second is the
order from God, and the last is
the order in God. We have the
time: whether we have the Will,
will determine all our tomor-
rows"
DR.. Olds warned that fault
on college campuSes is that stu
dents become creatures instead
of correctors of culture. because
the modern culture makes them
conform. not transform its claim
and authority.
Culture Only Setting
Culture is the setting, not the
source OF the authority for our
thinking and action" he said.
1.-THE confusion arises from mis-
taking the trend of culture for a
tribunal of culture, and is the
root of all responsibility. II is
the source of that favorite indoor
sport-passing the buck"
