London Believes Action Is Necessary
To End Threat to Israel and West

and establishing military die

The result Of the success Of
this conspiracy, the British
contend with considerable JUS
tification. would have been a
united Arab crusade against
Israel, wiping out that nation
entirely. In London's view,
the threat Of such q war as
suredly posed a greater menace
to the peace Of the world than
the present limited attack
could possibly do.
The British, with French
concurrence. also decided that
the continuation Of a twilight
state Of war between the Arab
states and Israel meant only
the accelerated decline Of
Western influence in the Mid
die East-already almost at
the vanishing point-and in
evitable Arab domination Of
all the Middle East's oil, life
blood of Western Europe. In
that event, an Arab bloc DOM
mated by Nasser would hold
Europe at its mercy.
The British, and perhaps
even more the French, also see
in Nasser a potential Hitler.
They profess to have no doubt
that this mans plans are big,
that they involve military force
for their augmentation, and
that those plans bode no good
to the world.
In all the negotiations with
the United States since the
Suez crisis began last July,
London and Paris have
stressed--to no apparent avail
this fear Of an incipient die
tator-conqueror. They have
appealed to Secretary Dulles to
approve at least some action
designed to nip Nasser's career
in the bud before it burgeoned
into full bloom. They recalled

The possible silent vote is
a speculative topic. It certainly
existed in 1913. 1t was clear
then that many people didn't
want to defend Truman in
public but liked him neverthe-
less.
This year the pro- Essen
hover chorus Is very much
louder and more pervasive. It
has. indeed, been so for four
years. Republicans have sought
increasingly to establish the
premise that there is some
thing not nice in suggesting
that the President does not do
a good job, and they have been
rather successful.
They intensified their lese
majesty technique after the
Presidents heart attack and
subsequent m ajor surgery.

The British cabinet, in their
understandable interest to de-
fend and explain the overt ac-
ton against Egypt undertaken
with France, has let it be
known that the menace of
Nasser as confirmed leader of
an Arab alliance was the chief
reason for the attack.
It has been known all
along, of course, that the
British feared the Nasser re-
gime more than they feared
the immediate consequences
of the Egyptian dictator's
seizure of the Suez Canal. The
waterway is of vital impor-
lance to Britain's economy, as
we'll as to the economy of most
Of Western Europe. But even
that compelling consideration
was secondary. apparently, to
London's fixed opinion that
the ambitious Egyptian dicta-
tor meant no good to the
West.

Their mission, the British say,
was to organize themselves

This is the eleventh pres
idential election in which this
writer has published his fore
cast Of the result. The score
thus far has been eight correct
predictions and two misses,
The same formula has been
used again and again. and in
the case of the two predictions
that didn't pan out, the mis-
take was not in the formula
but in the information gath
cred by this correspondent in
1910 and in 1948 which led to
an overestimate in certain
States Of the amount Of voter
discomfort due to economic
conditions. The party in power
in both those election years
was better of on the economic
side than was generally real
lied at the time.
For basically, when so to
so millions Of persons vote,
only the overriding issues
things that can be called the
common denomination Of the
thinking of masses of people
are decisive.
The formula used by this
writer in forecasting a pres
idential election is to examine
the economic situation State by
State and determine to what
extent economic contentment
or discomfort prevails. A salts
factory economic condition is
reflected in the data of produc-
ton, sales, profits and employ
ment. This is called prosper

politics. It helps the party in
power, whereas a depression"
or recession" usually means
that the party in power will be
turned out of Office.
The economic factor can be
overruled when an emotional
issue sweeps the country. This
happened in 1852 when Cor

The issue is not whether

AS for economic conditions.
the Nation is prosperous in
almost all of the States. In
the agricultural areas the
situation is somewhat adverse
for the Republicans due to the
drop-off in income for the
farmers. But many farm
families which don't want to
see their sons or farm en-
ployes going to war will be in
fluenced, because of the peace
issue, to support the Presi-
dent. Also the farm States
are heavily Republican any

Colorado FOrbids
Gideon Bibles
In Public Schools

DENVER-NC) - Atty. Gen.
Duke d. Dunbar of Colorado has
ruled here that distribution of
Gideon Bibles in Colorado's pub
lie schools is a violation of the
state constitution.
In legal opinion rendered aft
er a request from DR.. H. Grant
Vest, state commissioner of edu-
cation, Dunbar cited section of
the state constitution which says
that no person shall be required
"to attend or support any minis.
try or place of worship, religious
sect of denomination against his
consent" nor shall the state give
preference to any religious de-
nomination.
Dunbar referred to an opinion
by California's attorney general
which stated that use of public
schools for distribution of the Bi.
bles would indicate state endorse
ment of that particular version,
and would constitute religious
preference.

Or. Kane Sees Potential Religious

The possibility of interreligious

of education, DR.. John j. Kane,
head of the department of soci-
ology at the University of Notre

He cited desegregation of the
schools and public aid to sectari-
an private schools as two contro-
versial issues contributing to un-
rest among religious groups.
DIR. Kane gave his views on

here. He is the author of "Catho-

The Notre Dame sociologist OBJ
served that enforcement of the
Supreme Courts decision on de-
segregation has created interre-
ligious as well as interracial prob
lens. He expressed "pardonable
pride" in the recent statements
and actions of several Catholic
Bishops in the southern states on
this matter.

Refuses Request
For Bus Service

HAMDEN, Conn. - NC) - A
request to provide bus transpor-
tation for students of st. Rita pa
rochial school here has been re-
fused by the Board of Education
of this New Haven suburb.
The request was made by Fa-
ther William ]. DAILY, pastor of
st. Rita church. He asked that
transportation be furnished for
35 pupils who will attend the par
ish's new school in September.
He said the pupils now are at
tending public school.
The Rev. Joseph G. Peters,
board of education chairman, who
was reached in Omaha, Neb.,
where he is attending a meeting
of the general council of Congre.
gational Christian Churches, said
the board rejected the request
by a 5-to-4 vote.
The Rev. Mr.. Peters said It is
the business of elected board
members "to take care of public
school pupils" He added: "Per-
sonally / can't see how you can
spend public school money for
private school pupils and this has
nothing to do with religion" He
added that the majority of the
board felt that public transporta-
tion should be furnished only to
public school pupils.
Father DAILY announced the de-
cision of the board at all Masses
in st. Rita's on Sunday. He said
he did not regard the boards re
fusal as a "final answer" because
there are "too many other Con
necticut towns doing what st. Ri

ton to do"
