The action Of the Greek gov
eminent In submitting the
Cyprus question to the United
Nations raises questions of
major Importance in the stra-
tegic Middle East.
Cyprus. q large Mediter- /.
ranean island less than a hun
bred miles OF the coast Of
Turkey. has been In British
hands since 1878, when it was
coded by Turkey after the
Treaty of Berlin. It's popula-
ton of over 400, 900 includes
a large number of Turks and
many other nationalities Of
the Middle East. The native
Cypriots themselves are an
ancient people of mixed back
ground, with customs and Ian
guage modified by centuries of
isolation from the mainland.
At no time has Cyprus been a
part of Greece.
In the light of the fast
increasing Importance of the
Middle East to the defense of
the free world against Russian
expansionisnl-and particular
~ since the French scuttling
of edo Western diplomats
take a serious view of the agi-
tation for Greek control Of the
island. -,
: Despite the concern of the
free world for as much self
determination of peoples as is
possible, there exists grave
doubt in the minds Of many
observers familiar with the
situation in Cyprus that the
CypriotS themselves are very
much concerned with the
Greek demands for an early
British withdrawal.
1t is pointed out that there
Is no tradition of allegiance to
Greece among the islanders,
and, still more significantly,
the island has little or nothing
to gain economically by a
transfer of sovereignty. Most
foodstuffs must be imported at

motel business which, at its
inception, was almost failure
proof. is approaching the satu-
ration point in many areas.
Banks which were once very
happy indeed to press loans
of so per cent of the total re-
quired capital into the hands
of the prospective roadside
room-and-shower man, are
turning cold, appraising eyes
on all motel-loan applicants
today. Hotels are fighting to
get back lost business with new
gimmicks borrowed from the
most popular feature of the
motel-the drive-right-up-to-
room convenience. Many
now provide a drive-in service
to a basement elevator which
whisks you right up to your
room.
The motel industry. perhaps
more than any other, is a
perfect example of one which
was designed to I'LL a need.
There's a new need now watt
ing for someone to come along
and fill it and make q tidy
profit-a car with its own
built-in-motel.

A DifferentRuIe for McCorfhy2
Senate Seen as Having Had Cause to Censure Others
If Case Aaoinst Wisconsin Senotor IS q STANDARD
Dovid Lowrence

Senator Watkins of Utah,
chairman of the special COM
mittee of six which is consid-
ering the resolution to censure
Senator Mccarthy Of Wiscon-
sin, says frankly that the Sem
ate makes up its own mind
irrespective of precedents.
What the public doesn't
realize perhaps is that some
of these precedents are very
bad and constitute conduct un-
becoming to the United States
Senate itself.
1t will hardly be believed
today but there were 20 United
States Senators who once
voted to unseat the duly
elected United States Senator
from Utah, Reed Smoot. be-
cause he was a high official of
the Mormon Church and be-
cause various Senators didn't
like the church'S attitude
toward polygamy.
Although the Constitution
says mo religious test shall
ever be required as a qualifi-
cation to any Office or public
trust under the United States"
a motion was made in the Sem
ate on January q, 1904, to
unseat Mr.. Smoot. He was
not a polygamist himself and
his church had already issued
a manifesto banning plural
marriages. Nevertheless, after
a protracted investigation a
Senate committee rendered on
June II, 1906, a majority re-
port recommending that Mr..
Smoot be unseated.
= On February 20, 1907, the
Senate itself voted. AZ to %,
to permit him to retain his
seat and 20 Senators did not
vote. Mr.. Smoot became one
of the most respected men,
bers of the Senate, was re-
elected several times, and for
several years served as chair
man of the all-powerful FL
nance Committee, Another
Mormon-Senator Watkins of
Utah-iS one of the most re-
spected members of the Sem
ate today.
If the Senate, however, had
the power in 1907 to expel a
member because the Senators
of that day didn't like the
Mormon church, another group
of Senators tomorrow can ex-
pei some one else because the
Senate may not like the allie
glance of a Senator to the
Catholic church or to some
other church. No court can

For the Record
By Irene corboIIy Kuhn

magasines1
The American tendency to
run a good thing into the
ground, an extremism which
is a by-product of our pioneer
ing spirit and vigorous enthu-
siasm, is beginning to mani
fest itself in the motel BUSH
ness.
These de luxe drive-in dor.
mitories are pricing them
selves right out of business.
The going rate at most of the
de luxe motor courts is $l2,
$14, SIG a night for two per-
sons. This is just too high
tariff for the average couple
or family. True, these swank
motels are equipped with Hol-
lywood beds, TV sets, free
paper windshield cleaners and
disposable bath mats. But
budget-conscieus couples va
cationing in their cars, and
parents with two or three
small fry on a family vacation,
trying to show the kids as
much of the country as posi-
BILE in two weeks, are not in
terested in all the tinsel trap
pings. What they most want,
come the end of a 300-mile
day, is a clean bed and a
reasonably efficient shower.
These are the folk who re-
member when you drove up
to a little frame house, and a
pleaSant-faced elderly man or
woman greeted you and di-
rected you to drive the car
down the lane a piece to a
modest cabin. Inside were
clean beds and a shower that
worked. That was about all.
And it was enough. The price
was $3.50, 50 or, at most, So
and maybe you could even get
a cup of coffee in the morning
before you drove off.
Those were the days. too.
when the motel business began
to attract good, solid investors
who reached out for family
trade with signs like the one
] saw on a Missouri highway
some years back.
Virtue is our only dover,
No cabins rented by the hour"
was the challenge of these re-
spectacle folk to the disrepu-
table proprietors of the shabby
cabins of shady reputation, the
toadstools of the business that
decent motel keepers uprooted.
Of course, nobody expects
prewar prices in the motel
business, and nobody wants to
see investors in this typically
American industry lose their
shirts. But it's getting tougher
and tougher to find simple &C
commodatioris for a reasonable
price in clean and respectable
motels; and plenty of vaca-
TONERS cut their holidays short
this year and returned home
unhappy because the $12-and-
up prices were just too big a
bite out of the budget. These
folk will not be next years
repeaters in the motel trade.
Other motorists who travel
all the time and who once
turned to motels because they
were cheap and convenient
are now going back to hotels.
They discovered that many
hotels-good ones, too-actu-
ally charge much less than
the fancy roadside sleep joints:
and the hotels have news

An extensive study of cancer

Danger After Middle Age.
DR.. Dorm said the disease was
more dangerous for men after
middle age and added that most
cancers in men affect organs
that are subject to contact with

Commercial ~ Ban
On Capitol Hearings
Urged by Bennett
By J. A. OLeoY

A plea for the banning of
commercialized radio and tele-
vision coverage Of congressional
hearings was made to the Sem
ate Rules Committee today as it
continued to consider a code Of
fair practice for future investi-
cations.
Senator Bennett, Republican,
of Utah, who has been critical
of commercial sponsorship of
some of the recent Army
Mccarthy hearings. said "a Sem
ators have agreed to co-sponSor
his resolution.
The committee also heard a
plea today from Senator Gill
lette, Democrat. of Iowa for a
new rule under which the Sem
ate would have to vote on the
merits of any new investigation
before considering funds to de-
fray the cost.
Senator Gillette complained
that, under present practice,
resolutions asking for inveStiga-
tionS go directly to the Rules
Committee for an estimate OF
the cost, without any real OPP
portunity for the Senate to pass
on the subject matter.
