SPEEDING THE TOURISTS

MARQUETTE, Mich. lH1 =
Michigan officials say the new 100
miiliou-doIIar Straits of Macklnae
Bridge will do fabulous things
when it Is completed In 1857.
George +. Bishop. secretary man
ager of the Upper Peninsula Deyel-
opmcDt Bureau puts It this way:
'The bridge viii bring The TWO
Peninsulas Of Michigan at least 100
miles closer together. 1t takes an
average of two TO three hours 10
cross the Straits of Mackinac by
ferry boat. if you include waiting
in line. That's equivalent 10 100
miles OF driving. Hence, the bridge
will act like an accordiaH-sque
ing the TWO parts Of the state closer
together.
And Bishop thinks the Upper
Peninsula's tourist industry, al
ready worth 80 million dollars year
ly. will double with the increased
traffic.

Arms to Eqypt and Sc Election

ned later by . Joint statement
by Secretary Of State Dulles
and British Foreign Minister
Macmillan In New York. They
explained that the two gov
ernments were IN agreement.
It was apparent they hoped to
forestaIl the sale Of any Com
munist arms to Egypt.
What seems to be called for
In the present circumstances
is q limitation on arms TO the
whole area, at least until the
exact purposes and possible
use Of such arms are clariI
lied. A warning to both Cairo
and Moscow that no arms
shall be brought In until the
present tension between the
countries Of the Middle East
Is clarified would appear to jbe
inevitable. Secretary Dulles
has already approached For
eien Minister Molotov on the
subject.
It certainly seems o paradox
that the Moscow government,
which has been preaching
peace and disarmament for the
last several months, should
be 20 ready TO arm Egypt.
whose only reason for seeking
such arms Is considered by
Israel's supporters to be the
potential use Of such arms
against Israel. Certainly there
is no danger Of an attack on
Egypt from Soviet Russia. nor
Of any attack by any other
country outside the Middle
East.
NATO Is an example Of q
military setup that Is interna-
tional rather than national.
The same formula Of inte-
grated military units on q re-
gional basis could be applied
to the Middle East II the West
ern powers took q firm stand.
To allow Egypt to become an
armed ally Of Soviet Russia,
would be D victory for the
Communists In the cold war"
To persuade Egypt to avoid
alignment with the Ccmmu-
nists who would stir up more
friction with Israel becomes
o logical aim Of Anglo-Ameri-
can policy. It Is Q significant
development In the whole '.cold
war" as well as In American
politics.

And this could be obtained

Politics Is ColdIy Practical

which you'd weaken the party.
With the President out Of
the running. it seems that the
Democrats have an advantage
over Republicans in the poten-
tialities Of candidates for the
nomination. Their acknowl.
edged front runners as Of to-
day are all well-known figures
---Adlai Stevenson, from his
1852 campaign; Senator Estes
Kefauyer Of Tennessee from
his spectacular sweep in 50
many 1852 preferential prima-
ries and his prominence in the
Senate. and Gov. Averell Har-
riman from his long Govern
ment and diplomatic service
and nov as Governor OF the
key State OF New York. Any Of
the three would appear to be a
formidable candidate.
OF the three, Adlai Steven
son seems to have gained most
from the elimination Of the
President as the Republican
candidate.
The party's gains from that
are manifold and obvious.
Democrats win be running
against a party. not a beloved
national hero, and, party for
party, Democrats are strong
err. This they have DEM
onstrated In their upsurge of
victories In the last two and q
half years. including their re-
capture Of Congress In the 1854
congressional election. They
have entrenched themselves
from Congress at the top
through eight additional Gov
ernors in the States. and down
to the precincts. Their con.
troll Of Congress In the ses-
sion before election gives them
a propaganda advantage. as
they can direct creation Of is

ing for slow but certain dis
integration under diplomatic

The sweetness and : Hight

able to match the USSR, Its

partners either numerically
or technologically Hence. they
ask: why waste manpower and
large sums Of military forces?
This Ii the psychological
situation which Is fostering

From the practical point Of
view. more or less unexpected
developments have contributed
toward weakening Of the milf
tary coalition to resist even-
tual Red aggression.

PEELED to pun more than half
