ippines, Korea and Formosa.
Congress pricks up its ears,
knowing that Admiral Rad
ford stands well at the White
House. Yet they know too
that Secretary of State Dulles,
at a crucial point in Indo-
China, backed away from Ad-
miral Radford and accepted
the British point of view that
the risks were too great.
Like all the free world, Con-
gresS entertains a deep senti-
ment for Mr.. Churchill; it will
give the last of the great men
a fitting reception. But the
days when Messrs. Churchill
and Roosevelt could decide are
done for. Today Gen. Eisen-
hover and Mr.. Churchill can
not decide.
It is a hard problem for the
President because it is his own
party which is split on foreign
policy and the midterm con-
gresSionaI elections are near.
Yet the makings. Of a BIZ
partisan policy are there in
bbth House and Senate. This
is the field in which Gen.
Eisenhower was expected to
lead majestically. Congress
can be made to follow him
because most members want to,
really, and because it must

Ancianf Egyptians Jewels
And Cosmetics Found
BY the Associated Press

CAIRO, Egypt, June Is. -
Golden bracelets and a cosmetics
case used by Egyptian beauties
nearly 5000 years ago have been
discovered in the underground
tomb of a third dynasty Pharaoh
recently uncovered at SaqQara.
The discovery was made by
archeologist Zakariah Goneim
while clearing a corridor to the
funeral chamber. In it he found
an unopened alabaster sarcoph-
agus believed to be that of an
ancient pharaoh whose identity
will not be known until the big
stone block is unsealed.
The jewelry was discovered
lying in debris outside the fu-
neral chamber.
The department of antiquities
said the find includes a cos
metics case in the form Of a
golden shell, 81 gold bracelets,
a gold cane, small forceps and
needle made of gold and
silver alloy, and a number of
golden pellets and semi-precious
stones.

Rail Refornner Young at Switch
New Giant of Train Industry Is Seen on Right Track
But Will Encounter Opposition From the Old Order

For the drama Of Robert r.
Young's conquest Of the New
York Central system you have
to go back many years, back
to the last half of the 10th
century and the first Of this,
to the successive wars for con-
troll of our great trunk lines.
The names of the giants" OF
that buccaneering era were
household wordS-Daniel Drew,
Jim Fisk, Jim Hill, the Van
derbilts, E. H. Hartman, Jay
Gould, and their like.
Latter-day historians of that
reckless. feverish era of specu-
lation have coined a term
'robber baronS."
In pure daring, Mr.. Young
probably is the equal OF that
rougher and ruthless breed.
though his methods are more
polite, necessarily.
But he is a compound per-
sonality. In another respect
this rambunctious newcomer
who shocks the now old. es-
tablished and conservative rail-
road order. is akin to those
indigenous American radical
leaders who fought the rob
Der barons" of that long-gone
period. In that respect he is
what the industrial and A.
nancial fraternity used to call
Franklin D. Roosevelt - "a
traitor to his class"
When the new chairman Of
the New York Central talks,
you hear an echo of these radi-
cal political leaders. most Of
them fighting on behalf Of
farmers for lower freight rates
for their produce. He speaks
frankly of Wall Street and
banking control of the rail-
roads and criticizes it unmer-
cifully for showing too little
concern about undermining our
transportation system to per-
form better services for the
people at lower cost.
There is, Of course, q good
deal in what he says. 1t is re-
freshing to hear someone Of his
business reputation and pres
tige say It. In short. Mr.. Young
has made economic radicalism

House Democratic Leader
Rayburn pledged to the Presi-
dent support Of 80 per cent of
the Democrats for foreign pol
icy goals to which President
Eisenhower would commit his
own prestige. The President
seemed then to fear even such
an old friend bringing polit-
ical gifts.
Yet, it is q promise which
wants only White House action
to be renewed. And Demo-
cratic Senators. who have been
demanding Qualification of
foreign policy. can be counted
on to back it when they learn
what it is.
In this area as elsewhere the
President has not spoken out
so forcefully that other voices,
in his own administration and
in Congress, could be put into
perspective. Right now, for
example, Admiral Radford,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, is making speeches on
and of the record in behalf
of aggressive action in Asia,
starting with q naval block

need be, with troops. Adj

railroad empire by the late
Van Sweringen brothers Of
Cleveland. 1t began with the
little Nickel Plate Railroad,
extended East and West, en-
listed j. P. Morgan Co. inter-
est, and finally went bank

Corp, a holding company con-
nected with that enterprise,
which distributed stock at bar
gain prices to a preferred list
of very important personages,
including politicians. We got
in that investigation a clear
and detailed picture of the
banking control of railroads
about which Mr.. Young COM
plains.
The Chesapeake and Ohio
was a part of the Van Swerin-
gen system before it passed
into other hands and eventu-
ally into those of Mr.. Young.
Fascinating as has been his
railroad career up to now, it
can he not only more fascinat-
ing but also generally helpful
both to the railroads and to
the public, if he measures up
to the opportunity long await
ing some such bold and orig
inal businessman. He plans in
his new road, it is known, to
tackle some Of the shortcom-
ings Of the railroads revealed
in recent studies-obsole scence
in their methods of carrying
the mails and handling express
which represent substantial
losses in some cases: def1cien-
cieS in passenger service re-
sponsible for the loss of more
business than necessary to
other forms of transportation.
He has an uphill road in one
respect. He is unpopular with
professional railroaders be-
cause he is not one of them.
Because he is q comparative
newcomer, he could. however,
be more useful. For he brings

Prime Minister Churchill
and Foreign Secretary An
thony Eden are coming to visit
President Eisenhower for the
express purpose Of undoing
the impressions spread in re-
cent weeks that relations be-
tween the United States and
Great Britain were drifting
toward break.
The timing is significant.
For the visit to Washington
will occur just after the
Geneva Conference comes to
an end. 1t will be recalled that
the Prime Minister told
Parliament that Britain was
disposed to examine the posi-
bility of a Southeast Asia
security alliance after the
Geneva Conference had adj
journed. It is natural. there
fore, to consider now the sue
ceeding steps in the evolution
of a defense by the tree world
against Communist encroach-
ment in Asia.
But there are other reasons
for the visit. Whatever diff
ferences there may be in
attitudes toward world prob
lens, the Prime Minister is a
believer in the closest sort OF
consultation in advance OF
public announcements. OBJ
viously, if some decision on
the policies of the West is to be
taken-whether it be q hard
ening or a decision to continue
the present deadlock with the
Communists without material
change-it is important for
the heads of the governments
of Great Britain and the
United States beforehand to
canvass the situation thor
oughly and in the most init
mate fashion.
Inside Great Britain, despite
the occasional criticisms Of the
United States that crop UP,
there is q growing awareness
of the Importance Of an Anglo
American understanding. Per-
haps the recent rift served to
emphasize dramatically what
o blow to allied solidarity

then French chief Of stan
Marshal Pierre JUN, received
the approval Of our top po-
litical leaders. There were
good reasons to believe that as
soon as the shooting ended
temporarily in Korea and the
Reds were given a breathing
spell to enable them to orga-
nize a much-improved Mag
mot fortress" out Of the whole
area north of the 38th Parallel
they would dispatch their best
ground forces and most mod
ern equipment to Indo- China.
And as the Korean fighting
died down in the spring of 1858.
China's help to the Wet Mini
swelled from q trickle to a tor
rent. Had we stood firmly by
the concept that the Korean
and Indo- China fronts were
indivisible. and insisted that
the armistice apply to both
simultaneously, there is little
doubt that the free world
would not be in the present
predicament. This was not
done because our political
leaders were anxious to fulfill
President EiSenhower's pledges
that his administration would
do its utmost to end the Ko-
rean war and bring home at
least some of the boys.
Within a few months after
the armistice involving Korea
alone was signed, the Chinese
Communists rushed sufficient
troops and war materiel of
all types to Indo- China to en-
able the anemic Wet Mimi to
resume a large-scale offensive.

MANTEO SCHOOL HAS BEEN
GETTING SOME PAYMENTS

To The Editor:
In reference to an article in last
weeks paper we wish to state that
"The Lost Colony group" has very
limited use of Manteo High School
Building during the summer
months.
In 1862 the management gave us
$4,000 as a token of appreciation
for the use of the building. This
amount was applied toward build
ing a chimney for the gymnasium,
such chimney being required when
the Lions Club installed a heating
plant.
In 1853 we received $192.68 part
of which was used to purchase a
typewriter for the commercial de-
partment and the remainder being
used for necessary incidental ex-
penses of the school.
Mr.. R. E. Jordan, manager of
The Lost Colony, has informed us
that he had mailed a check for
$4,000 to Mr.. Long, committee
member, who has been hospitalized
for the last two weeks, in appreci-
alton for the use of the building
during the summer of 1854. AS
has been customary, this check will
be turned over to the Manteo
School to be used as the principal
and faculty deem necessary.
We wish to remind your readers
also, that all residents are invited
to attend classes conducted in
Manteo High School by "The Lost
Colony School of Fine Arts, free
of charge.
