ALEXANDRIA. Egypt, Aug.
1For nearly two hours Prime
Minister Canal Abdul Nasser
met the foreign press he had
invited to the third anniver-
sary celebration Of the Egyp-
tian revolution. In that time he
did not once resort to mo
comment" or I'VE are studying
that problem. He did not fill
buster nor did he hesitate to
give what he must have known

questioner's point Of view.
With rare exceptions all this
was done in q language not his
own, English, which he learned
In Egypt. Nasser has never
visited q Western country-nor
Russia. BY his own account he
has Travelled only In Arab
lands.
And the conference came at
the end Of o long and firing
day. It began with an early
morning whistle-stop train
journey from Cairo to Alexan-
dria which followed the famil-
lar pattern Of the United States
presidential campaigns. That
is, there were great crowds. in
GLIDING lots Of teen-age boys
who swarmed over the train,
bands and noise.
What was interesting in a
state run by an army junta
was the freedom with which
Nasser showed himself to
masses Of people allowed to
press close enough to touch his
hand. His version Of q rear
platform would horrify the
United States Secret Service.

was perhaps the chief reason
for Mr.. Eisenhower's victory:
Popular confidence that he
would go to Korea" and
somehow or other, with or
without victory, end the war
there.
The people felt uneasy about
Communists or their sympa-
thizers In Government. They
wanted an administration al

wanted "a 100 per cent Amer

More than $1,000 American
boys were killed and nearly
100000 were wounded In re-
polling Communist aggression
In Korea-and the Red China
government is primarily re-
sponsible for the crime.
Not o word Of repentance
has come from the govern
ment at Peiping and. in fact.
the Red Chinese leaders have
perpetrated publicly the lie
that their organized armies
did not intervene In Korea
and that the / million Red
Chinese troops who moved in
there with Russian planes and
equipment were only 'volun-
teers." This lie Ia still the
official Peiping view. It has
never been withdrawn.
Yet, In the face Of these
facts and these frauds. the
British and French govern
ments are willing to accept
Red China into the United
Nations and forsake the Ma
tionalist government Of China,
with its 500. 000-man army
based on Eormosa.
Throughout the world the
Red China government is
winning O propaganda victory.
BY releasing II American air
men who have been held cap
tive for many months In direct
violation Of the terms Of the
armistice signed ct Panmun-
JONI, the Red China govern
ment is being welcomed as q
"peace-loving" and friendly
nation. Editorials In the Euro
pean press hail the Red China
action as o sign Of q new"
attitude and as an augury Of
peace.
When the Nazis and the
militaristic japanese ordered
atrocities to be committed
against the troops Of allied
nations, the persons response
BILE were later tried as war
criminals" Both Germany
and Japan were punished
through the defeat Of their
armies and by the severe terms
imposed.
Red China, however, has not
been defeated and no punish
ment. has been meted out. In
fact, territory In South Korea
has been given to the Com
munists. Both the British and
French governments, more
over, are ready to reward the
Red China government by ad-
hitting 1t to the Security
Council Of the United Nations.

There is the greatest dam

FOR II the $4,000 American

Senator Hennings. Democrat,
of Missouri today invited any
information about specific cases
in which Constitutional rights
of individuals have not been
preserved.
Senator Hennings is chairman
of a Senate Judiciary subcom-
mittee on constitutional rights
which is about to embark on an
inquiry into the field of individ-
ualS' basic rights.
In part, the inquiry will be
directed at the impact on indi-
vidual rights of what Senator
Hennings recently referred to as
the novel security arrangements
necessary because of the threat
of communism.
But he said it will be broader
than that because it will not be
confined to the effect of security
measures taken during the cur

In return, the Swiss bought $l,5O0,OOO,O0O

And were it not for the purchases America
made in Switzerland, the Swiss people couldn't
have bought many of the things you make. Elec-
trical appliances, movies, arplanes. Furs, fuels,

Name it, and the Swiss probably bought it from

For food and farm products alone, Switzerland
