Our Policy in Middle East

Thus American foreign
policy toward the Middle
East, at first plainly aimed at
the cultivation of Arab friend
ship and the support Of the
Arab world in the struggle
against Red imperialism, has
failed to do more than aid In
the creation of q power vacu-
UNI in the most vital area in
the world today. And the only
power likely to I'LL that vacu-
UNI. short of a Western mill.
tary occupation. is the Soviet
Union.
There is ample evidence
that the Russians are well
aware Of their opportunity
and are moving with speed and
skill to take the most possible
advantage of it. 1t is unlikely
that the Reds will move into
the Middle East with force at
any early date. For the time
being. the masters Of the
Kremlin will be content to
stick another camel's nose into
every available tent. Such
things as the Egyptian arms
deal, the backing of Nasser in
the Suez crisis. and the con-
tinued economic and political
penetration of the area will
suffice.

Y S. Seen Antugonizing European Allies
Without Strengthening Ties With Arabs

Probably no fact of Ameri-
can foreign relations is more
apparent today, than the inn
pending bankruptcy Of our
policy in the Middle East. AS a
result of our efforts over the
past three years, we have sue
ceeded in antagonizing our
allies in Europe without in
the least strengthening our ties
with the Arab world.
The Baghdad Pact, Secretary
OF State Dulles most weighty
hope for a northern tier" buff
fer against further Communist
expansion in the Middle East,
has become q meaning
less and totally undepend-
able gesture. The key Arab
states have avoided identi-
fication with it. Egyptian die
tator Canal AbdeI Nasser is
openly leading Arab opinion
not only against the Baghdad
arrangement but against any
Identification with the West
in the continuing cold war.
Our role in the Suez crisis
has strained the Atlantic al
lance, possibly more than any
other event in the past few
years. We have succeeded in
maintaining peace, a precari-
Gus peace, by holding back the
British and French in their
eagerness to bring military
force against Nasser over the
canal dispute. But in arousing
the suspicious and fruStra-
tons Of our allies, we have not
at the same time gained a
measurable bit in cultivating
the friendship and support of
the Arabs.
This column pointed out
many weeks ago that there
exists a power vacuum in the
Middle East. Britain and
France are through in that
area Of the world. The circum-
stances Of their departure are
many, but the departure is
certain; it awaits only the
formal obsequies, the requiem.
And Egypt, despite the grandi-
ose ambitions of her present
military ruler, cannot nope to
take up the reins of Middle
East leadership in the lore
seeable future. A country SO
weak, so impoverished, so un-
stable as Egypt is today can
exert leadership in nothing.
And besides the weakness of
Egypt, there persist the ancient
rivalrieS of Arab nations,
tribes. clans and dynasties. 1t
is well known that King Saud
OF Saudi Arabia has no love
for Egypt nor possible acquie-
scence in Egyptian leadership
of the Arab world. The Saudi
dynasty has long been at bitter
odds with the Hashemites,
whose kings today rule Iraq
and Jordan.

Board Again Finds
Policemen Guilty,
Dismissal Asked

A metropolitan police trial
board yesterday recommended for
the second time that Pvt. Donald
M. Pietrzak be removed from the
force in a case which has been
upset once by the District Com
Imissioners.
The Commissioners had earlier
overruled a similar recommended

to report the loss of his raincoat

OF making an "untruthful state

On the earlier conviction the
Commissioners cut the 26-year-
old policeman's punishment TO a

pay. but suggested the matter be
Irestudied for the possibility Of
preferring new charges. Pietrzak

Moscow and Stevenson S Proposal

Committee on Atomic Energy.
The Democrats on this COM
mittee made quite a fuss a
few months ago claiming that
they were not being given
data by the Atomic Energy
Commission. But nobody sup
posed then that the chairman
of the committee, when pos
sessed of important data on
H-bomb tests, would appear
on a Nationwide television
network to back up the noni-
nee Of q political party and
divulge information obtained
in this bipartisan committee
notably, some Of the facts
about Americas system for
detection Of tests conducted
by other countries.
These facts had never be-
fore been so precisely expressed
by anybody connected with
the United States Government.
Thus, "bipartisanship" has
gone out the window and the
government of Communist
Russia is happy. Her diplomats
now can fish openly in the
troubled waters of an Amer
lean political campaign. Mos
COW does not need any Com
muniSt Party in the United
States to eSpouse her cause
on H-bomb tests, as the
Daily Worker Of New York
has been doing constantly for
many months. Several Demo-
cratic leaders now are doing
all the espousing necessary to
mislead millions of voters into
believing that, If America
stopped H-bomb tests, there
would be some magic way to
make Russia really do like
wise. All this in the face of
many violations by Soviet
Russia of hundreds Of agree
ments signed in the past by
Moscow.
But this time the breaking
of an agreement could be
costly to the security of the
United States.
Shields Warren, former
chairman Of the Committee on
the Pathological Effects Of
Atomic Radiation of the Ma
tional Academy of Sciences,
says that ito permit us to fall
behind the Russians is dis
aStrous: to wait for them to
catch up to us is stupid"
But Adlai Stevenson has his
own set of scientists, mostly
from the cleft wing" who tell
him what to say.

DORIS FLEEs0N
Eisenhower's Best Orotory

At such points, reporters
lift their eyes from the writ
ten script for that close at
tention to the President physi-
cally, which is never quite abb
sent from their thoughts. He
was firing, it seemed.
The same thing appeared in
Minneapolis. Riding among
the great and friendly crowds,
he was superb--arIns uplifted,
the Eisenhower smile radiant.
When he finally spoke, he
seemed pale and wearied.
Gov. Langlie is pressing hard
in these final days. Speaking
before the President arrived,
he threw the phrase moral
conduct" at Senator Magnu-
son. Obviously he is being
tempted almost beyond his
strength to say what he allows
to be printed under the Lam
gle campaign stamp, which in
cludes excerpts from such
magazines as Confidential
about Magnuson's appeal for
women.
Asked why he, who makes
moral principle the keystone
of his campaign, used such
McCarthy-style tactics, Lam
gle has replied that it is very
hard to upset an incumbent
with Magnuson's strength. He
must, he said, attack every
soft spot"

this is par for the candidate
course.
The Presidents Sc attic
speech and his handling of it
were why reporters often put
the word uneven" to his per-
fornances.
He does not write his own
speeches, which is nothing new
for candidates. But the Presi-
dents indifference to subject
and predicate is an old story,
repeated in each transcript of
his press conferences. So his
speeches cannot reflect his
own style, since he has none
suitable for the formal tele-
cast; they are, in a sense, an
art form he has to deal with.
Emmett Hughes, the Life
editor on leave this year as in
1852 to help him. author of
the famous II Shall Go to
Korea" turning point of four
years ago, Is credited with
writing the Seattle call to
arms. It read well: in fact, it
sang.
But the Presidents delivery
was much too wooden for 1t.
He threw away lines; he
stumbled. Realizing this. he
sought at moments to inter-
polate, which sometimes was
effective and sometimes not.

How to Wear a Hat

MOSCOW, Oct. 10 lR).-So-
Wet society is showing its grow

the Iraqis to offer a golden

DAVID LAWRENCE

The government Of Commu-
mist Russia has backed up
Adlai Stevenson's proposal to
halt H-bomb tests. Moscow
likes the idea because it would
mean that no guarantees or
system Of inspection would be
required to see that Soviet
Russia kept her word.
In an unprecedented intru-
sion into an American political
campaign. Arkady A. Sobelov.
Soviet delegate to the United
Nations, said, according to an
Associated Press dispatch from
New York. that Russia is will
ing to agree to halt the tests
Of all nuclear weapons with
out conditions"
This Is directly opposite to
what the British government.
the United States Government
and the Pope have advocated
namely. that the stoppage
Of tests should be part of a
general agreement on dis
armament.
But since Adlai Stevenson
has come up with the argu-
inent that H-bomb tests
abroad can be detected and
hence, as he sees it, there
isn't any need for advance
agreement on inspection, Mos
COW is quick to take advantage
of the opening that the Demo-
cratic nominee has given the
Kremlin.
Stevenson has no power to-
day to negotiate with any
foreign government in behalf
Of the United States. But the
Communist government sees
an advantage in publicly dis
cuSsing his proposals because
1t helps the Kremlin in its
negotiations and it assists
MoScow's worldwide propa-
ganda against America.
The United States Govern
ment. under the Eisenhower
administration-and, indeed.
under the Truman administra-
tion-has taken the position
that disarmament is a pack
age affair, and that to with
hold the use or testing of GER
tain weapons without linita-
ton or regulation of the use
of other weapons is impractical
and unrealistic.
