Egypt Affirnls Stand
With West, but Bars
Pact as Aiding Reds
by III. A..oeiai.d Press

Carlo, Egypt, Sept. 2.-Pre-
mier Canal Abdel Nasser's mill
tary government declared today
that Egypt now STANDS In every
respect with the West but that
q defense pact with the Western
powers now would only provide
the Communists with fuel to stir
up the still suspicious minds Of
the Arabs"
A communique from the ruling
revolutionary council which de-
posed King Farouk two years ago
said it realized the United States
and Britain would never invade
the Arab world and added:
"It's, Egypt's) culture. trade
and economic life is linked to the
West. Ideologically Egypt is OUT
spokenly against communism.
Mihtarily Egypt considers that
the only possible global danger to
the Middle East Is an invasion
from Russia"
-
Background Paper"
The communique was issued to
foreign correspondents as q
background paper" Apparently
1t was aimed at clarifying Eg1pt's
foreign policy. which Is under
going major swing since the
British agreement on the evacua-
ton Of the Suez Canal Zone and
the opening Of talks for American
economic assistance.
The statement pointed out the
traditional fears among Egyp-
tians and Arabs Of any Western
ties as result OF the past British
occupation of the Middle East
and declared that any defense
pact at the present time with the
West would defeat its purpose"
The background paper" was
the most fortnight statement on
Egyptian foreign policy yet made
by the Nasser government. It
emphasized the internal political
difficulties which the military
government faces in lining UP
closer to the West.
Communists Oppose Pact.
The fanatical Moslem Brother
hood. the underground Com
munists and q few old-line
political leaders have been agi-
tating against the government
for indorsing the Britishs
Egyptian Suez agreement. That
pact will give Britain the right
to return to the Suez bases with
in the next seven years il Turkey
or any Arab state is attacked.
Under the agreement all British
troops will leave the zone within
20 months after the signing Of
the treaty. which is expected to
be completed this month.
Col. Nasser's political enemies
have been saying in clandestine
propaganda that he should have
driven out" the British inn
mediately and given them no
future ties on the canal zone.
A revolutionary council spokes-
man said the background paper"
could be quoted directly as an
expression of government views.
It Is unlikely, however, that
publication of the communique
will be permitted in the Egyptian
press, which is under censorship.
Outgoing press messages are not
censored.

Mccarthy Demands
Overseas Libraries
Be Scrutinized Again
By Cecil HolIond

Senator Mccarthy wants an
other look during the current
session of Congress at the opera
ton of the Governments over
seas libraries which he has criti-
cized severely in the past,
The controversial Wisconsin
Republican disclosed this today
in report on his Senate SUBJ
committees investigation last
year of the use of books by Com
munists and Communist sympa-
thizers in the library program.
The libraries were set UP as a
part of this country's propagan-
da effort to combat communism.
The investigation and the
State Departments actions in
ordering such books removed
from the libraries resulted in
charges that Senator Mccarthy
had set off book burning"
campaign. In one or two in
stances. according to reports
from overseas, books ordered re-
moved actually were burned.
Removal "Misinterpreted."
In the subcommittee report
Senator Mccarthy takes pains
to disclaim The "book-burning'
tag. He said the removal Of the
books had been "misinterpreted. !"
He also complained that the
subcommittee had been unable
to learn who was responsible for
acquiring pro-Communist books.

ator said, lodged most adroitly

EAST HILLS, N. Y, Jan. IL
Three armed robbers made of
with $4,000 in furs, jewels and
cash yesterday from the home
Of Barney Brainurn, head of a
Brooklyn steel firm bearing his
name.
Nassau County Detective In
Spector Styvesant Pinnell said
the three failed to get into the
Brainum residence through a
ground floor, but gained entry
through an upstairs window.
Mr.. Brainun and his wife said
they did not awaken until the
men burst through their bed
room door. A burglar alarm had
been disconnected by the men.
One man covered the Brai-
NUNS while the others ransacked
the house for almost an hour.
After binding the Brainums
and cutting telephone lines, the
men fed with their loot, all but
5000 in furS and gems.
Mr. Brainum managed to work
himself loose three hours later,

books.
Senator Mccarthy said that
eiirectives issued by the Inter-
national Information Admins
tration regarding the books to
be used in the overseas libraries
have been numerous and con-
fusing."
For this reason the subcom-
mittee recommended that The
odore c. Streibert, new head of
the agency, should be invited
early in February to report on
"his accomplishments and new
procedures" DUNG the past six
months. Since the Mccarthy
investigation the administration
has been taken out of the State
Department and set up as an
Independent agency.
Grossly Negligent"
The report said that 10000
books by Communists and those
who have aided the Communist
cause were used in the overseas
Libraries. The authors. it added,

A CAA spokesman said "the

The report also called for the
program to be directed by men
with sound anti Communist ex-
perience" and not left any longer
lin the hands of entrenched,
professional bureaucrats."
In taking note of the charges
OF book -burning" Senator Nc
Carthy took occasion to say that
complainers made no protest
when the United States Govern
ment itself burned or destroyed
literally hundreds Of thousands
If not millions of books" in Oc-
cupied Germany.
Americans are now asked to
believe" the report continued,
that 1t was good to destroy
Nazi and Fascist literature in
cluding even children's books,
but hat it is bad and a crime
aginst culture and civilization to
remove Communist books from
United States Government spon-
sored libraries abroad.
"Book-burning sauce for the
Nazi goose was not sauce for the
Communist gander.'
Cites Conant Testimony.
Senator Mccarthy cited tes-
timony by DR.. James B. Conant,
United States High Commis-
sioner for Germany and former
president of Harvard University,
to support his view that books
by Communist authors should
not be used in the library pro-
gram.
The testimony was given by
DR.. Conant before the Senate
Appropriations Committee last
summer. The report reelected
to cite DR.. Conant's testimony
in which he said such books
should not be burned but sold
through secondhand bookstores,
perhaps.
In the same testimony, DR..
Conant sharply criticized Sena-
tor Mccarthy for airing the book
controversy publicly because Of
it's effect on public opinion
abroad.

Lady Bugs Help
Control Aphid
By VERNON BERGER,
Glacier County

LAST YEAR, after reading an adj
vertisement in Montana Farmer Stock
man, we sent to California for gal
lon of ladybugs to scatter over our
wheat fields as a means of controlling
wheat aphid.
We can't say that aphids are doing
a lot of damage in our fields, but we
know we have them and we want to
keep them down. And the aphids are
natural feed for the larvae of ladybugs.
We got our shipment of ladybugS in
late June last year and scattered them
in our fields, a handful here and an
other there We planted mostly along
the western strips, since they will
move quite a lot with the wind. After
we had planted, neighbors to the east
and south told us they saw a lot more
ladybugS than usual.
We felt they did lot of good last
year, and we've ordered two more
gallons this year. There are approx
mately $4,000 ladybugs per gallon.
They will reproduce as much as IS
each in two weeks time. Freight is the
biggest cost we had.

Farm, Ranch Experiences

IN ALL, we moved about 10000
yards of dirt and the cost of the whole
system is about $11 600, but the results
are worth the effort and expense.
l have lived at my present location
for long time and have been en-
gagged in farming and stock raising
most of the time. Irrigating from a
small creek by means of large dam
and reservoir had proved quite success
full but in dry years such as last year
there was no water for irrigation and
also a shortage for stock.
My son Don, who has been doing
most of the farming of late years sug-
gested that we try to get water from
Deadman's Basin ditch which is 10
Gated not far from some of our land.
But there were several obstacles in
the way.
With the help of the Soil Conserva-
ton Service we ran some ditch lines
which showed that the project would
be feasible but that it would require
a lot of hard work. We found that it
would take a fill 81 feet high and 500
feet long, a 2O-inch siphon 1000 feet
long which had to be put over Care
less Creek and under the railroad right
of way. We also had another fill 20
feet high, two rock cuts about 10 feet
deep and in all about seven miles of
ditch.
However, we felt that it would be a
good investment. Putting in this irri-
cation would increase the value of the
whole ranch which includes 5000 acres
of land on which we run $50 head of
wheat on a summerfallow basis.

On a. movie set, or their own

It is routine for them to show
up with water pistols. which
are used to squirt the director
or anyone in range.
Ernie Gluckman, who d.

he came through a rehearsal
