LAW IN THE NEWS
Long-Term Contracts
Can Be Confiininq
BY PHIL YEAGER
and JOHN STARK

The long-term, high-pay con-
tract makes important news
frequently. Not long ago. for
example. Miss Imogene Coca,
television commedienne. relin-
pushed her tie-up with the Ma
tional Broadcasting Co.
NBC, it is reported. was guar
anteeing Miss Coca 100000 per
year for the next nine years for
her exclusive services.
Last year it was Jackie Glea-
son, another TV luminary, who
concluded a l5-year deal with
the Columbia Broadcasting
System that was reputed to in
volye between Sill million and
$l6 million over that span.
1t is difficult for most of us
ordinary mortals to understand
why the beneflciaries Of such luc-
rative contracts sometimes want
to ditch them. But they often
do.
Often Troublesome
Contracts of this sort have,
historically, caused a lot Of
trouble-particularly when they
are held by men or women whose
services depend a great deal upon
their popularity with the public.
The public is tickle; popularity
wanes or wakes: the star"

or the other wants out.
There is nothing illegal, how
ever, about tying up a per-

they are rendered. That is. such
contracts may be enforced mega

forced to give personal per-
Torrance. since that would
amount to involuntary servitude.
he can be kept from providing
comparable services anywhere
else.

out in the Northwest section and
he had changed. He was all
flashy now, side pants and
chrome. He slid by noiselessly
and when he came by the hos
pital he grinned and blew his
horn again-but now 1t was a
blast. AS the hospital watched
him speed down the street she
cried.
why can't ! advance as the
Model T has done?" she sobbed
to herself somewhat surprised
at her choice of words.
Then one time. when Christ
mas was near-it was 1856
the hospital sat and stared at the
lovely blueprints Of an out
patient clinic she was never to
have. And she heard the car
again.
She saw him coming down the
road and he was wearing a smile
but a different smile from the
one he used to wear in the old
days.
And this time he turned up lne1
driveway and stopped. He didn't
blow his horn.
What do you want?" the hos
pital asked him.

The archbishop, who has had
his troubles with our State De-
partment, did not find the going

That country has many Russian

Ukraine where both the Catholic

they were not particularly sym

The Russian delegation had

homeless horde could be reset
tied elsewhere in the Arab world
say in Syria where large tracts
are bling reclaimed for farming,
or Iraq where land and oppor-
tunity far exceed population.
The solution. they say, is to wait
until Israel accepts the 1947
frontier, at which time the refu-
gees can be resettled in the land
thus restored to its rightful
Arab owners.
It is clear enough that II the
odds on an agreement are any
thing like even, these Arab de-
mands will have to be radically
modified in the course Of nego-
tiation, II not abandoned alto
Igether. Quite apart from what
the Israelis might accept. they
do not correspond even approx
mately with the kind of a settle
ment which the Western powers
seem to have in mind.
Proposals Discussed
Although its exact terms are
still carefully swathed In diplo.
matte wrappings, several fea-
lures Of a compromise solution
being peddled by the allies are
openly discussed here. Among
them: An adjustment of Israel's
southwest border with Egypt
through which the Israelis would
give up a strip several miles
wide" Of still largely undeveloped
Negev desert region.
In addition. Israel's blockaded
port on the Gulf of Aqaba would
be "internaitonalized" possibly
under U. N. control and Egypt
would be given a free land link
with its neighboring Arab states
to the north. Beyond this, other
minor border adjustments would
be made to "rationalize" the
truce line where villages have
been cut of from their fields
orange groves and the like.
1t could be. of course, that
Ambassadors are told one thing
and newspaper reporters an
other. At any rate, this re-
porter was told with emphasis
That Egypt would prefer SO years
iof the present situation rather
than accept such settlement
Much as he may want peace
it seems. Col. Nasser could never
afford to have it on these terms
Undoubtedly, a settlement
with Israel would improve
Egypt's relations with the West
help to free Egypt from the
burden Of military dictatorship
and open up new horizons fol
social and economic progress
But there are some disadyan-
tages, too. In a position of grow
ing strength, with both East and
West competing to cooperate
with him. it would not be un-
natural for Col. Nasser to be-
lieve that time is on his side.
AS long as the struggle with
Israel provides the real cement
of the Arab League, solidifies
Egypt's position of Arab leader
ship and holsters the internal
security OF the regime, peace
with Israel may seem something
iof a mixed blessing.
Such reflections. OF course, do
not jibe very well with the cur
rent mood Of hopefulness in
Washington and London. There
is an atmosphere of optimism
here too. based on the belief that
Egypt, now for the first time,
seems willing to consider the
possibility Of some kind Of set
tiement with Israel. But given
the basic attitudes which still
prevail and the terms which
Egypt demands. perhaps a little
realism Is no crime. either

EVERYBODY was proud OF mex
She helped children with tummy
aches and older people who had
this or that patched up or re-
moved.
The hospital was very happy.
The people who made a lot OF
money usually left some of it
to the hospital when they passed
on. She was very comfortable
and it felt good helping people
and reducing. when she could,
the pain Of their troubles.
But there was one thing that
irritated the young lady. Next
door there lived a little, noisy
Model T car. The Model T used
to make loud noises shen it
started up and went by. Its
cranky horn would disturb the
hospital. 1t might be said the
two never really got along.
Sign Requests Quiet
Finally. the hospital. which
was kind by nature but could
get mad if pushed far enough
got mad at the Model T. She
put out a sign on the sidewalk
The sign had big black letters
and said QUIET" Though the
sign didn't say so. it was meant
for the young automobile.
But being as young as the hos
pital-but not as responsible
the car felt gay most Of the time
And when he saw the sign he
took one look and backflred and
footed his horn anyway.
AS the years went by, the little
car-which now was much larger
and heavier-got under the hos
pitfalls skin. But. as a matter
of fact, the hospital was finding
many more things were getting
under her skin. She had less anc
less time: she was always busy,
her nurses would get mad anc
her doctors would storm dowr
the hall. And one time a patient
complained about a bill. Ant
the people who made money were
leaving it all to something callec
the Government when they
passed on.
One night the hospital looked
around. 1t looked down the blocl
and found the row houses gon'
and big office buildings in theil
place. And she looked at hersel.
and found she was old and worr
out. Her boiler was rusty; every
body who worked at the hospita
wanted more money; the doctor
wanted more equipment ant
they said they couldn't even flnt
q parking place when they CAM
to call on her.
Hat Passed for Funds
So the hospital decided sh'
would build, but she didn't hav'
any money. So she passed thu
hat and people gave-but no
all the people. All she was abl'
to do was fix the boiler.

role as exarch. which would put
him at the head Of an American
church comprising a small group
of Russian Orthodox parishes
that still recognize the authority
Of the Moscow Patriarch.
Upon their arrival in Montreal
the three Russian churchmen
were faced with a group Of more
than 100 Ukrainian and French
Canadian veterans who stam-
peded the airport and attempted
to distribute pamphlets object
ing to the visit.
Cut Length Of Visit
On the train from Montreal
to Toronto the delegation an
nounced to DR.. Ernest E. Long.
secretary Of the United Church
of Canada, that they would have
to cut the visit from three weeks
to two.
In Toronto. two Ukrainian
Catholic priests. acting on the
authority of their bishop. wrote
to the United Church asking If
they could meet the Russians
and discuss the case Of Greek
Rite Catholic Archbishop Joseph
Slipyi of Lwow Oemberg) and
seven bishops who are in Siber-
ian prisons.
Archbishop Boris had suffered
a chill and could not see the
priests but sent word through a
United Church official that he
would place the matter before
the Holy Synod of the Russian
Orthodox Church.
The two priests inclosed a
statement with their letter charg-

With a tear in her eye. the old
lady walked out to the street and
took the QUIET" sign down.
For a minute. she thought she
heard bells-not a horn-in the
distance.

Gus Arab leaders" have begun to
realize that they must live with
Israel. They may even be willing
Ito make some sacrifice to do it.
But when 1t comes to cases, the
most substantial sacrifice any
Arab leader will admit being
ready to make is giving up his
determination to destroy Israel
altogether.
Formula Is Difficult
1t is clear enough that Col.
Nasser. in conversation with
Western ambassadors, has taken
10 more moderate line in recent
weeks than has been reflected
in the official Egyptian radio and
press. Nevertheless. it is hard
to escape the impression that
what the Arabs might accept as
a reasonable settlement would
stop well short Of anything even
remotely acceptable to Israel.
British Prime Minister Eden's
hope for a compromise on the
question Of Israel's frontiers finds
little encouragement here. The
suggestion that Col. Nasser might
be ready to yield on his demand
that Israel be confined to the
boundaries laid down by the
United Nations in 1947 is firmly
rejected by well-informed Egypt
ians. From all appearances. the
gerrymandering division of Pal
estine recommended by the U. N
before the fighting started-and
which now would require Israel
TO give up nearly one-third Of its
lterritory-remains Egypt's basic
price for a settlement.
This in itself, the Egyptians
argue. represents a tremendous
concession on their part, beyond
which they cannot 60. 1t is quite
wrong. you are told, to look for
q compromise between the l947
line and the present boundary
Inc compromise should be drawn
rather between the present line

That Israel should not exist at all
The fact that these same U. N
resolutions were denounced by
tne Arab states in 1947. and that
an attack was launched forth
with on the new state, makes No
Iolnerence. Neither does the re-
minder that both Jordan and
Egypt have extended their own
territory as the result of the war

U. N. planned as separate Arab
state IN Palestine. That Israel

The Egyptian position on the

promising. The fate of nearly

Fox's attorney indicated suit

Fox said his honesty and in

Loeffier released the text of his

he said. Fox's statement con-
tanned "innuendoes very Sc
rious against me-"
The LaSalle coach said his
chief complaint is not with Fox,
but with Atlantic Coast Confer
ence arrangements that do mot
permit coaches to veto the as
signment of officials. He de-
clared he had no quarrel with
Fox's officiating at Saturdays
game, but admitted he wasn't
,lsased with some calls by Irv-
ing Portney. another Washington
official who also worked the
game. "At any rate Loeffier
said, I'VE made enough mistakes
to lose"
In his letter to Fox. Loefiler
complained of Fox's officiating
at last years LaSalle-N. c. State

points.
Loeffier wrote that he felt Fox
definitely leaned toward N. C.

that Fox was assigned to officiate
at this years game despite Loef-
fler's objections Loeffler wrote.
