arms to offset Bgyp ian acqui- sltion of communist weapons there was no guarantee the Is raelis would restrain themsel- yes from launching preventive attacks before the Arabs got too strong. The Galilee attack increased such fears.
 BU5s if the United States does not give arms to Israel, there is no gcarantee, either, that the Arabs will not attack in con- cert when ',they are trained and ready with their new comnun ist arms.
 The Soviet Union has no such problem. The arms go to Egypt, the Russians claim, in purely business deal having nothing to do with politics. The Russians con end this proves they are without sin and the West is the devil. The Arabs, so long as they are on the receiving side of the arms argument, go along with this reasoning.
 Once again, the lesson is driv en home Ito the West that Ma ginot lines are no defense again st the determined political at- tack that overleaps them.

Interpreting News
by J. M. Roberts A. F. News Analyst

The United States faces a grave dilemma in the Middle East, and many regard the pro- (blen as the natural result of American over-emphasis on Msginot Lime thinking.
 The United States, such ob- servers argue, for long time was obsessed with the idea of forming a Middle East Defense organization (MEDO) erdbras- ing the whole area. This not on ly handed effective propaganda
 ammunition Ito the Russians, but it also caused aggravations
 within the western camp itself.
 t was easy for Soviet propa- ganda to iden ify the idea of MEDO with coloniahsan, with a threat to the sovereignty Of nations in an area newly emer- ged from colonial staI us. The Russians pictured MEDO as a device to expand Western con- trol of the areas natural re- sources, chiefly its oil. It also Dictured the attempt to build a nnilitary alliance as an invita- elon to war on the soil of the Middle East.
 Many in France, meanwhile. had serious misgivinlss about MEDO. These French feared it would undermine the tradition ally privileged position of Fra nee in Syria and Lebanon. Thus in Spria there grew up an al- 9iance between pro-Frenoh ele- snessss and Syrian leftists again st American policy in the Mid ale East. The coalition was so powerful for lime that it held the late of government in it's hands. The only reason for such power which was out of pro- portion to the numerical stren- gth of 'he coalition, was the ap parent need of the pro-French elements for allies to stand off pro British and pro-American elements. Gains were made in She long run by pro-Soviet ele- anemts.
 The Israeli attack on Syrian l military positions near the Sea of Gahlee did little to help the ! United States out of iItS dilem- ma, and it went far to strength en French synnpathies for Syria The attsck may have damaged Israel herself, since |. raised feas im London and Washington over prospects for peace if Is :, nael were to acquire additional { arsYM.

Completion of a long publi-
cized, all-weather highway has
cut driving time from Mexico
City from II hours to six and
helped give this tropical seaside
resort the best winter season in
history.
The boom has been helped
along by virtual completion Of
another highway up the west
coast. bringing thousands of
visitors from California and ad-
joining States.
Once the summer meant a
sharp drop in visitors. but now
local merchants expect the peri
cd ahead to be buster than ever
before.
What is Acapulco resort
which for years has drawn tour
lists over poor and at times dan
gerous roads and by plaine, bus
and boat?
It is an ancient city, with
curving sandy beaches against
a. background of jagged cliffs.
Today. it is called the Honolulu
Of the Americas. It's more ex-
pensive than other Mexican re-
sorts, but reasonable, by Ameri-
can standards.
Discovered by Aztecs
The Aztecs discovered this lush
garden on the Pacific centuries
ago, climbing its surrounding
mountains and pushing through
marshlands. bending reeds to
mark their path. Acapulco means
"the place of the broken reeds"
Then came the Spaniards, who
founded the city proper shortly
after their conquest of Mexico
in 1921. Later the Mexicans
themselves responded to the
charm of the place-its wide,
clean beaches, its warm climate,
the tropical luxuriousness of it's
spring and summer. the restful-
ness Of its isolation, and they
still are Acapulco's best vacation
customers. although Americans
provide Is per cent of its dollar
revenue.
But Acapulco's very isolation
for years protected it from large
scale tourism. Even now there is
no railroad.
Among the first American va
cationers were schoolteachers
and lower-income travellers, try
ing to get by on $100 a month
Or less. 1t was. easy in the old
days. But the boom they touched
off about seven years ago has
caused prices to rise, and they
Evening star., 1955-05-22

are being forced to seek other
retreats while the more well-to-
do take over Acapulco.
$50 Twisting Miles
The early American visitors
found the place by driving $50
winding, twisting miles from
Mexico City over a road that at
times was impossible, always
difficult. 1t crossed mountains
and tropical forests, was beset
by a continual threat of land
slides and washouts and even
bandits.
This year, the government
completed an elaborate highway
from the capital to Acapulco,
covering much the same route
but eliminating many curves and
making it suitable for use in any
weather.
Tourists also flock here by
other means of transportation.
Normal airline schedules call
for four flights a day and five or
six on week ends from Mexico
City. But the line runs as many
flights as the traffic calls for.
Soon to open up is a boat
service from Los Angeles-twice
a month tours bringing about
$50 visitors per trip.
Summer is popular for pack
age tours. Travel agencies offer
all-expense bus trips to Acapulco
for as little as $50 a person.
All of this is causing Acapulco
to bulge at its seams.
The seaside resort of $4,000
today has an estimated 200 ho-
tells and boarding houses with
about 5000 rooms. They are
packed from November through
