Israel
Reflections

The Congressional study mission
says that its visit to Israel was
enlightening, impressive and in
spring They found tangible
evidence on every hand" of the
progress which had been made in
Transforming a primitive country
into productive nation >. They
established that everyone in Is
rael believes and practices the
doctrine of hard work, and that
the methods used are most effici-
ent and up to date :. The mission
lauds American Jewry and the
U. S. Government for the "gener-
GUS aid'' to Israel ;. This aid, the
mission established, is being util-
lied fully for the benefit of the
people The mission also deals
with Israel's problem of absorbing
immigrants 1t cites the diff
culties which, Israel faces in estab-
fishing the newcomers and the
tremendous costs of getting a
newly arrived immigrant family
started on its own i. Neverthe-
less, the mission notes, the stand
ard of living in Israel ranges from
superior to greatly. superior COM
pared with the neighboring states
;. At the same time, the mission
points out that Israel cannot yet
pay its own way and that, at
present, Israel produces only 70
percent of its food It empha-
sizes that Israel, with its present
plan for irrigation may be able
to raise all its own food by 1860
The mission does not see why
the dramatic improvement achiev-
ed by Israel in one decade cannot
be achieved in other Middle East
ern countries =. . 1t points to the
advantages offered to both Israel
and the Arab countries by the
American plan to develop the Jor-
dan River waters, and stresses the
fact that Israel is willing to ac-
cept this project, but that the
Arabs are delaying a decision.

Major Zinc Find
Reported in BruziI
By the Associated Press

A recently discovered zinc ore
body in Brazil may be one of the
worlds major deposits, a United
States Geological Survey study
has revealed.
The deposit. which also con-
tains copper. is located near the
village of Vazante. in Northwest
Minas Gerais, a report of the
survey said yesterday.
Survey officials said the dis
covery clocks awfully big" and
added that the ore is of very high
quality. 1t might be one of the
major zinc deposits in the world,
they said.
They estimated that a f1otation
plant, to extract zinc from the
ore. would require an initial in
vestment of $40 million, once a
mine itself was in operation.
Meanwhile, informed sources
said the /. United States Steel
Corp. has held informal talks
with Brazil on a possible conces-
sion for mining manganese at
Urucum, Mato Crosse.
The deposits, near the Bolivian
border, are reported to be among
the worlds richest.

on the Territory, its people, indus tries and way of life. Alaskans themselves may be amazed at some of the facts brought out in the magazine.
 Many references are made to previous Geographic articles in- cluding the society's expeditions to the Katmai and Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes area. There are several illustrations of Katmai crater and others. Katmai volcano erupted violently in June 1912 pouring fine volcanic dust into the prevailing winds that carried it into the upper atmosphere around the world The region was later set aside as a national monument.
 The articles cover Alaska from the Arctic to Ketchikan, summer and winter, fishing and wildlife, daily living and working and many attractions of interest to future visitors.

Heart Attack Proves
Years Turning Point;
Geneva Spirit Fluqs

The course of human events Is
an erratic one. and turning points
are recorded daily. sim. Septefn-
Der must be conceded more than its
share Of significant turns.
The most obvious was the heart
attack Of President Eisenhower
early on the morning Of the oath.
After his illness became known
about o'clock that afternoon, the
political scene was turned topsy-
turvy. and the operation of the
Federal Government was sharply
modified.
Another major turning point was
not so obvious. But September, in
retrospect. did mark the period in
which skepticism over the spirit
Of Geneva" became widespread. It
became clear that although the old
days Of the vituperous cold war had
faded. the world still was not
marching swiftly toward settle
ment of Ease-West differences.
The Nation seemed preoccupied
with foreign affairs and politics
as the month opened. The politi-
clans were just engaging in pre-
season maneuvering, but the world
Of diplomacy was graphing with
something basic: The problem of
disarmament.
The spirit of Geneva was to be
tested by negotiations with the
Soviet Union over arms reduction.
The Russians had made no COM
mitments, Of course. but their
refreshingly open attitude at
Geneva led many observers to hope
for progress.
Vice President Nixon warned in
early September, however, that
"affibility can be simulated, and
cordiality can be turned on and of
like a faucet. The cold facts, the
hard deeds. are what the world
wants to see."
The cold facts turned out to be
that Russia would not say yes
or "no'--to any arms reduction
plan we thought was feasible. In
a United Nations disarmament SUBJ
committee the Russian delegation
refused to accept the Presidents
open sky" inspection plan or the
suggested exchange Of blueprints on
military installations. Later, in
note to President Eisenhower, So
Wet Premier Nikolai Bulganin OBJ
jected to most of the features of
the American plan and stalled on
the rest.
The Soviet stand seemed to be
this: Concede nothing. but reject
nothing Keep talking--but mostly
about Russian proposals for imme-

the vaccine snafu started rolling.
The question OF who would get
shots arose on May 4, and President
Eisenhower said no child would be
denied vaccine for want Of money.

was halted for rich and poor alike.

than make the market queasy. The
investigators finally reported on

its atomic program and in the adj

. The Soviet Unions indisputable
competence in the field.

unobtrusively as possible. First the

diate disarmament without safe
guards.
The American stand was this:
Try for, little disarmament before
a lot, and insist on making each
step foolproof. Meanwhile, keep up
the American defense.
Russia also showed her affable
intransigance on the key European
problem: German unity. Chancel-
Tor Konrad Adenauer was invited
to the Kremlin-a startling gesture
but all he met with there was
hard bargaining. After disagreeing
on virtually every point, the two
sides agreed on an exchange Of TO-
600 Germans, still prisoners Of war
in Russia, for diplomatic recogni-
ton between the two countries.
Then Russia turned her atten-
ton to Communist East Germany
and tried to give it the prestige Of
q sovereign nation.
A month of earnest attempt to
work in the spirit OF Geneva had
resulted In the same old stalemate.
Politics
The politicians, meanwhile, had
been laying the groundwork for the
1856 campaigns. The Republicans
had assumed President Eisenhower
would run again and would win
handily. So they were concentrate
ing on congressional races. The
Democrats made the same basic
assumptions and selected farm
prices as the issue which would
insure them control Of Congress.
Democrats tried to stir up dis
content among the farmers in Sep
tember- pointing to steadily fall
ing prices-but had nothing really
new to offer as a basic program.
Republicans told the farmers over
and over again that they were well
on and that prices would soon
steady themselyes-but the G. o. p.
also had nothing new to offer.
Suddenly, though, the basic polit-
zeal assumptions disappeared when
a heart skipped a beat in Denver.
Colo. Dr.. Howard Snyder. the
Presidents physician, told news
men that the Chief Executive had
suffered a mild" heart attack and
had been taken to the Fitzsimons
Army Hospital.
Republicans and Democrats alike
Immediately assumed that MIR.
Eisenhower would not run again,
That made the Democrats the IA
yorites in Sc and started a scramble
for the Democratic nomination.
Republicans wondered who they
would run.
The Government, meanwhile. ran
itself. There was no communica-
ton between the President and his
administration. Public officials wor-
ried about how the executive
branch could carry on without a
head.
September saw another turning
point reached in Argentina, Die
