German governments must Sit
down together again and re-
negotiate the Saar situation
on the basis Of democratic
principles. And all must re-
examine the reasons for the
failure Of European policy.
All attempts to create 4 new
and more united Europe have
been mechanical and j1ridical.
And It must honestly be said
that the main impediments
have come from France, which
has extorted q French nation-
alist price for every c0nces-
sion. But unity can only grow
IN an atmosphere Of mutual
confidence created out Of mu-
tuaF interest, sympathy and
understanding. II ! ask my
neighbor to concede what /,
in his place, would never freely
concede. ! awaken FIRST dis
trust, then disbursement.
and finally hatred. That Is
the simplest law Or interna-
tiorlal relations.
Had the French attempted
to carry out their threat to re-
occupy the Saar they would
not even have had the support
Of Josef Hoffman,. They
would have further divided the
West, poured gasoline on the
still quiescent sparks Of Ger-
man nationalisEn, and come d
cropper as they did when they
occupied the German Rhine
land after World War /.
Now they must allow IN the
Saar the free elections that
the West Is calling for in East
Germany. and negotiate with
the resultant government. II
they abandon threats and
uphold democratic principles.
they have an excellent chance
for continued advantageous
economic relations. For neither
the Saar nor any part Of
Europe Is iii d mood for revo-
lutionary nationalisrn or up-1
roar Of any kind. It's people
want peace. But they want 1t
on terms and principles equally
applicable to all.

CONSTANTINE BROWN
Some See Mid-Eost as Threatening
As North Korean Buiidup in 1919

the United States because
France has her hands fun In
North Africa and Britain has
domestic and international
problems which would prevent
her joining any action except
verbally.
In perennially optimistic
diplomatic circles the present
explosive situation is viewed
differently. They. too, are will
ing to draw q parallel between
Korea and the Middle East but
only because both conflicts
were aided and abetted by the
USSR. The difference, 1t Is
pointed out. is that while In
1850 our armed forces had
been reduced to q minimum.
we have at present q strong
and efficient Army. Navy and
Air Force.
The Kremlin has thrown q
monkey wrench into the Mid
die East, but our diplomats
doubt greatly that, In view Of
our present strength, the
Muscovites will dare push the
Arabs to extremes which might
involve an American or United
Nations Intervention.
The u, N. does not have q
military force but it could
delegate America as its stand
ard bearer as it did in the
Korean affair.
II the skirmishes between
Egypt and Israel dare into q
full iedaed military campaign.
our Government intends to re-
fer the matter Immediately to
the Security Council. It Is fully
anticipated that the USSR will
use her veto against any sug-
gestion Of active Intervention.
The next step. according to
our diplomatic luminaries,
would be to refer the conflict
to the General Assembly where
decisions Of this character can
be taken by q two-thirds vote
Of all member nations.
Our diplomats feel that in
the event Of q serious elner-
gency, President Eisenhower
could take q page from the
book Of Harry Truman and
order American forces to the
scene Immediately as was done
in Korea. And just because Of
that possibility, these diplo-
mats add. and also because we
are today far stronger than five
years ago. the Russians are
likely. to counsel moderation to
their new Arab friends If they
are convinced that America
win do everything In her pow
er to prevent outbreak Of q
major conflict in the Middle
East.
How correct these views are
Is difiicult to say. The Krem-
tin Is not sentimental. II In

Moscow has temporarily
shifted the East-West storm
center to the Middle East by
the simple and effective ma
neuver OF. offering modern mil
itary equipment to the Arabs
at bargain prices.
The creators Of the Geneva
spirit" have thus thrown into
active turmoil an area which
was only In g latent crisis
while storm clouds hung over
Europe and the Far East.
There is no question that
Western diplomats have again
muffed the ball by their atti-
tude toward the peoples Of the
Middle East. They failed to
recognize the powerful nation
alist trends In the whole area
and refused to accept at face
value Egypt's persistent de-
mands for military equipment
to Offset that Of Israel.
Washington and London be-
lieved that an open conflict
could be avoided between the
hostile neighhors II the numer-
ically superior Arabs were
placed at q disadvantage by
providing the numerically in
ferior Israelis with effective
weapons. The Western powers
were thinking only In defen-
sive terms. And in keeping with
that philosophy. they decided
that Israel, regardless Of cir
cumstances, would use its mill
tary superiority only along
Western lines Of thinking.
Moscow upset the applicant.
It offered all the Arabs who
were interested the latest types
Of weapons and the necessary
technicians on terms defying
all competition. And the orders
were executed with remarkable
speed.
In some military quarters in
washington the Middle East
ern Developments are believed
to be as threatening and dam
gerous as were the stepped-up
military preparations Of North
Korea between November, 194e.
and the actual attack on South
Korea In June. 1850.
The United States. Britain
and France signed an agree
ment in May, 1850. providing
that in the event Of a major
outbreak between Israel and
its Arab neighbors the Vest
ern powers would not only
consult but also take definite
action This means. it is said
BY competent military autnor-
tiles In Washington. that II
Egypt and Israel lock horns

which may be called on to

peace.

II Turns Out Americans Weren't
lust Seeing Things; After All
DAVID LAWRENCE

- -
The mystery Of the flying
saucers-it really never was q
mystery except in an ofiicial
sense-has been solved ofd-
cially at last.
It turns out that the Ameri-
can people had the truth all
the time-they did see flying
objects in the cir shapes like
saucers. But for ofacial rea-
sons, mostly related to security.
It was apparently decided never
to admit that there were OBJ
iects Of such shape-pianes or
inissiles-which could rise ver-
tically.
The key to the misunder-
standing is In one word. "con-
yentionai." From the start Of
the stories, the Air Force in
sisted that observers were en-
gagged in q "misinterpretatio
Of various conventional OBJ
jects."
Everything that is on the
drawing boards or in the test
period could be called "con-
ventional.s Certainly when Jet
planes first whizzed across the
skies they were unusual to the
public but In the technical LAM
guage used Ii official state
ments they could be termed
Just conventional" airplanes,
II for security reasons 1t was
desired to regard them as
such.
It Is interesting to go back
I'VE years and compare what
the Air Force and Defense De-
partment said then, with what
Is being said officiaIly now.
There is indeed q significant
similarity and the original
thesis Is maintained. Here is
what the Air Force said q few
days ago in an ofiicial state
lnent:
we are now entering q
period of aviation technology
In which aircraft Of unusual
coniagiration and flight char
acteristics win begin to appear.
The Air Force and the
other. armed services. have
under development several
yertical-rising. hieA-perform-
ance aircraft, and as early as
last year, q propeller driven
vertical-rising aircraft was
flown. The Air Force win ny
the first jet-powered vertical
rising airplane IN q matter Of
days. We have another project

balloons and shooting stars
and missiles Of various kinds
undoubtedly accounted for the
strange things people saw or
thought they saw. 1t is ofii-
cially admitted that a fifth Of
the reports involved aircraft
OF some kind.
But 1t Is interesting to go
back to an article in q. s.
News q World Report for
April Z, 1850. which gave the
first comprehensive explana-
tion Of the flying saucers. In
that issue models Of converts
planes" and combinations of
helicopters and conventional
aircraft were described and
pictures printed Of those
models which show q close
similarity to the planned Air
Force "convertiplanes' Of 1855.
: The 1850 magazine article
said:
aThe first United States
model designed BY Charles H.
zimmerman OF the National
Advisory Committee for Aero
nautics was eiliptical in shape.
powered By two piston en-
gines and driven BY twin
propeiiers. It had q maximum
speed between 400 and 500
miles an hour.
More important. it could
rise almost vertically and its
minimum speed for landing
was only about IS miles an
hour, q great advantage in
military and naval aircraft.
And it was far more maneuyer-
able than conventional mill
tary planes"
What happened to this early
model? The same magazine
report IN 1850 says:
st was purchased by the
Navy after the original model
was tested In 1912. The iirst
full-sized aircraft, built by
Chance -Vought, was thorough
~ tested by Navy engineers.
Then D statement was released
that this project had been
dropped. Early experimenting
with 'saucers' centered in the
Navy.

Expanded School Hot
Lunch Program Ended
After Three Months

The winter Hot Lunch Program
for school children ended Friday,
April l.
The program was greatly ex-
banded this year, increasing the
amount of food served and serv-
ing more children than ever be-
fore, the increase being from
about IS to $50 children served
daily.
The program was also extended
to three full months Of lunches, as
compared with two months in
past years The project this year
was handled by a committee of
interested persons and was sup
ported almost entirely by the peo-
pie Of Nome through donations Of
money, labor, food, oil and ser
vices.
The latter part Of the season
some government surplus prod
ucts were received and used, but
it was mainly community help
and interest which kept the lunch
program going.
The addition Of sandwiches to
the soup and chocolate was made
possible by the donations of about
200 loaves of bread from local res
idents and by the ladies who gave
their time to make the sand
witches.
