Still Negotiable

In his address to the United Nations
Security Council, Secretary Dulles has
gone to the heart of the matter in de-
claring that the SueZ crisis can be peace
fully resolved if Egypt will only agree that
the canal should be so run as to insure
against its being used capriciously as an
instrument of national policy-meaning
specifically as an instrument with which
Cairo could apply pressure or worse
against shipping vital to other nations.
Despite President NaSSer's assurances
to the contrary, the possibility of such
use is greatly feared by countries like
Britain and France, and not without
reason, And so these countries, with our
own Government backing them in all
essentials, regard it as imperative that
Egypt should participate in negotiations
aimed at working out settlement under
which there would be some form of inter-
national operation establishing depend
able guarantees for the canals users. The
guarantees being sought, of course, are
ones that would rule out the danger that
the present Cairo government or any of
its successors might be motivated by
whim or spite or power politics to impede
or discriminate against one or another
nation sending its ships through the
great waterway.
That is the nub of the iSSue-Cairo's
willingness or lack of it, to cooperate
in a system of international operating
guarantees in which Britain, France and
other users Of the canal could repoSe full
confidence. In Mr.. Dulles words, If
Egypt accepts that simple and rudimen-
tary principle of justice, then I believe
that the subsidiary problems can be re-
solved and mutually satisfactory
agreement worked out Up to now, how
ever, with the Kremlin supporting him
in an obvious effort to fish in the troubled
Middle Eastern waters, President Nasser
has declined to negotiate on the basis
of the Western proposals, his argument
being that they cannot be reconciled with
Egyptian dignity and sovereignty"
Nevertheless, although the deadlock
thus would seem to be complete, the
Egyptian Foreign Minister has addressed
the Security Council in rather moderate
terms, and Mr.. Dulles has expressed the
view that the possibilities are good for
pGdCelul SOluUlOIl. Ills nope OH IIldC
score apparently is based on the fact that
all parties oncerned-including "thoSe
most aggrieved" shown an earnest
desire to avoid force and negotiate an
acceptable settlement. Perhaps his re-
strained optimism is not restrained
enough, but if temperate give-and- take
mood can be maintained and If the
Egyptians go along with the principle he
has emphasized, then it should certainly
be possible to reach sound agreement
protecting the interests of every nation
involved.
In any event, nothing has happened
since the start of the Suez crisis to lessen
the desirability of a continuing good
faith effort to arrive at a reasonable and
just negotiated settlement. The only
alternative is force, and there is no ele-
ment in the situation thus far that would
justify resort to that, with all its possible
grave consequences.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E TRACEWEII
Shyness. What's shyness?

ShynesS. What's shyness?
Children aren't shy any
more. They are taught from
infancy to bristle right I'D to
strangers and look them in the
eye.
When they grow up to that
heavenly age because then
one knows it alb of the teens,
they are ready to stare each
other out of countenance.
Still there remain a few shv
boys and girls. To some of
the oldsters, at least, it will
seem an endearing trick of
character.
Surely there are plenty Of
factors to make anyone eau
tious OF others, which is really
what shyness is, at bottom.
Unusual tallness. one may
feel, tends to make many chill
dren, both boys and girls. a
bit on the shy side.
A tall boy was introduced
to Iempleton Jones the other
day at coffee, and the father
then absented himself to do a
IL
bit OF phoning, instructing the
boy, When you get your cof-
fee, come back here"
Mr.. Jones. waiting for the
youth to arrive, started to
think OF a weighty problem.
When this problem was
solved, and the cup of coffee
consumed. he suddenly walked
up to the sad fact:
No boy.
The tall youth had failed
him.
What had happened to the
tall boy?
x
Had he scared him away?
Or had the youth frightened
himself, as youth often does?
Templeton Jones didn t
know, and didn't much care,
If the truth be known. He was
shy, himself! He long ago had
given up trying TO solve the
mind of modern youth. Per-
haps most people have. It
is a pretty big problem, and
getting bigger every year.
Temp Jones got up to leave.
and spotted his boy down the
line at table near the window.
Why didn't you come back
and sit with me?" he asked,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-10-10

casually. He hoped it sounded
casual, in the best modern
manner.
Today's motto is, For Pete's
sake, let's be casual"
The boy smiled.
I wanted to be by a win
dow" he said. ITS hot in
here"
1T is" agreed Temp Jones.
enthusiastically.
1t is always best to agree
with them.
Shyness. in the older DAVIS
was something to reckon with.
1t made life miserable for
countless boys and girls of any
age.
Age seemed to have little to
do with it.
Boys were Shy, girls were
shy, and in much the same
way.
There seemed to be no &C
counting for it. Here was a
young lady who smiled in an
embarrassed way the moment
anyone looked at her
Perhaps that was the focus
of it.
1t happened, in a sense.
when human eyes were on one.
Alone, one was seldom II
ever shy. in the ordinary
sense.
So young poets went it
alone, and got reputation for
being moody. aloof, when all
the time what they needed
was help.
Modern society. and the
much-abused modern educa-
ton, decided to do something
about it.
They tried to make sure
that just centering attention
on a child would not cause It
to shrink inward.
Actually. there seemed to be
little reason for it. No one is
an island, as the man said.
To be shy, is TO be afraid,
and to be afraid, except at
moments. is to be less than
humanity's best.
So shyness is going, if not
quite gone. and the world is
better of, though at times we
may have to pay for it, as we
always do for progress.

as possible. They wore the
same kind of gauntletS as the
MeGill students. The expert
ment was interrupted, how
ever, for meals and various
psychological tests. During
such Interruptions no CONVEX
sation, except that necessary
for the tests, was allowed.
Smoking was permitted during
the intervals.
First the subjects ability to
learn was tested by having
them memorize a list of words.
They were tested after one and
two days of confinement, and
then one and two days after
wards. All tests were con-

Quite different from the re-
suits shown in the Canadian
tests, there was an actual, al
though slight, improvement in
the ability to learn following
the ordeal.
They reported no hallucina-
tions. no difficulty in focusing
the eyes, no lack of ability to
engage in extended thought,
no tendency to see objects in
only two dimensions. All these
results had been reported from
the McGill tests.

however, hesitate to draw
comparisons, since there were
differences in the set-up OF
the tests that might account
for the diverse results. The
McGlil students, for example.
were not totally deprived of
light although they could not
discriminate objects through
the spectacles they wore. It
may be, it is pointed out in the
report, that this extremely dim
light, actually was stimulus
to Authorizations which, would
not have existed with no light
at ali. In the same way the
masking noise in the Canadian
experiments may have stimu-
lated hearing things" These
very hallucinations. in turn
may have contributed to the
decrease in general mental
performance.
Their own study, Drs. YER
non and Hoffman stress, was
not intended as a repetition of
the McGill studies and can
only be considered as prelim-
mary. It may be continued
with more rigid restriction of
all stimuli on the brain from
the outside world.

Imagine a sightless, sound
less world.
This has been realized es-
sentially in two experiments by
psychologists of Princeton and
McGill Universities.
The former, just reported to
the American Association for
the Advancement of Science
here by DrS. Jack Vernon and
John Hoffman of the Prince
ton faculty. was undertaken
under a contract with the med
ical department of the Army.
Purpose of both was to deter
mine the effects of this living
death experience on the mind,
and the subjects naturally were
healthy young volunteers.
Results of the two expert
ments were quite different. 1t
had been postulated that the
mind requires constant slim
ulation through the senses in
order to function.
The McGill tests were car
ried out about a year ago.
The students wore semi-trans-
lucent spectacles through
which they could discriminate
brightness but not objects.
They were placed in a small
cubicle for periods up to five
days. Their ears were not
plugged but there was con-
slant masking noise which pre-
vented them from discriminate
ing any sound from the outside
Each wore cardboard gauntlets
that extended from Just below
the elbow to below the finger
tips, so that the extremely
delicate fingers could not be
used for eyes and ears. as NAV
be done by the deaf and dumb.

This resulted, according to
reports of DR.. w. r. Bexton
and his associates, in rapid,
although temporary, mental
deterioration. The subjects
showed considerable loss in
ability to learn Confinement

seeing and hearing-in one
case of touch. The Giving

world out of their own minds
as substitute for the one
from which they were shut
off.

CoIumnists Clash


our freedom of the press APP
pears on your opposite edi-
torial page of October l, if
one compares David Law
rence's column with that of
Doris Fleeson, concerning
President Eisenhower'S APP
pointment of Judge Brennan
to the Supreme Court.
According to Mr.. Lawrence,
our President undoubtedly
instructed his aides to search
out the best-qualified man
someone with judicial expert
ence--and when it turned out
that the man who came most
highly recommended was a
Roman Catholic on New Jer-
sey's highest court, the politi-
cal mentors of the adminiStra-
ton were not bit unhappy
about the coincidence"
Miss Fleeson suggests more
of a political maneuver: 1T
seems fair to say that the
President looked for a jurist
from one of the country's i'm
portant minorities whose quail
ificationS and character are
excellent. Clearly in these
closing weeks, the President is
pitching his appeal to the big
States where in 1852 he APP
peared invincible. How
much value this particular
type of maneuver has is always
debatable."
According to Miss Fleeson,
"at least three of his Judge
Brennan's( future high court
colleagues privately admit
they never heard of him." Yet
Mr.. Lawrence states that the
new justice was recommended
by Chief Justice Arthur VAN
derbilt of the New Jersey Su-
preme Court, formerly presi-
dent of the American Bar AS
ISOLATION and one of the out
standing lawyers in America.
Mr.. Lawrence reports that
Justice Brennan "a Democracy
owes both of his appointments
as Judge to a Republican Gov
ernor in New Jersey, yet Miss
Fleeson writes that leading
Democrats suggest a real
shock and surprise for Repub-
licans in this appointment.
Is it a detriment for a JUS
tice of our Supreme Court to
be unknown to politicians?
Miss Fleeson, in view of her
foregoing remark regarding
Judge Brennan's anonymity in
this respect, is rather con-
Trajectory on this point, for
she later states that Amer
leans have shown that they
don't like politics played with
the high court though they
often get it just the same. F"
Mr.. Lawrence: 1T is interest,"
ing to note that most Presi-
dents have not looked either
10 religious or political afiilia-
lions in selecting justices for
the Supreme Court"
Why not assume that Presi-
dent Eisenhower, in this APP
pointment, was motiyated by
the same spirit of statesman
ship that moved President
Hoover. for example, when,
disregarding geographic or re-
ligious issues, he named jus
tice Cardozo to the Supreme
bench, appointing, to quote
Mr.. Lawrence, 1.-The man he
thought was best qualified for
the post. And, as it turned out
came to be regarded as
one Of the great jurists of
all time"
When a presidential APP
pointment to our Supreme
Court is interpreted as a cause
