WASHINGTON = Are Israelis
becoming the Irish" of the Middle
East? Have Israel's militant de-
fense policies caused Americans to
view Israel differently?
An informal public opinion poll
aimed at eliciting views on IsraePs
so-called "reprisals" produced sur
prising results. Professional per-
sons and other intellectuals tended
to deplore the reprisals, citing
moral grounds. But the man-in-the-
street, traditionally suspected OF
more widespread prejudice, show
ed a different attitude.
The latter group included sol
diers, sailors, marines, taxi dri-
vers, electricians, postmen, delivery
men, farmers, store clerks, Secre-
taries, factory workers, common
laborers, and so forth. All persons
questioned were believed to be
non-Jews. About one-fourth were
either completely uninformed about
the Middle East or had no opinion.
A FACT THAT seemed to i'm
press the majority was that Jews
had proved they could and would
fight. They knew, for the most
part, that Israel was heavily out
numbered. AS a rule they did not
condemn reprisal actions. Many
remembered from recent head
lines that the Arabs were getting
Communist arms while Israel had
difficulty buying weapons from the
free world.
1t was this group which reads
Headlines rather than editorials
that indicated the greatest sympa-
thy for Israel Almost everyone
was confused about demilitariZed
zones, mixed armistice commits
sions, and so forth. One element
frequently singled out as disturbing
was the Communist-Egyptian arms
deal. Many expressed fear of can
other Korea"
SOME CRITICIZED Jew and
Arab alike. But only two individ-
ais out of so in the non-intellectual
category condemned Israel alone.
A college professor expressed the
thought that anti-Semites who for
1000 years accused Jews of being
''too cowardly" might now brand
Israel 'too warlike."
The man-in-the-Street comment
ed: "I guess the Jews have learned
to fight at last. I never thought
they had the CUTS =. There are
more Arabs than Jews so don't
see what the Arabs have got to
cry about"
The United States Information
Agency reported that among the
10 top events of 1855 the Israel
Arab situation ranked fourth in
world interest. The U.S.I.A. linked
this situation with Communist at
tempts to penetrate the Arab
world.
EMERGENCE of Israel as new
focal point caused large numbers
of people to start thinking about
the Jewish State for the first time.
Among the masses, the Informal
poll might indicate the thought
process definitely favorable toward
Israel. For America is nation that
favors the little guy and likes to
see a good fight.
Frontier battles in the Middle
East may be seen from the
Hollywood concept of pioneers and
cowboys fighting Indian raiders.
The element which attends western
movie thrills when the cavalry pur-
S11pc and attacks the rannapi
redskins or raids their war camps.
The outnumbered few, like the Is
raelis, become symbols of hero
ism and civilization while the
horde of "savages" are identified
with "the enemy"

Service Commission
Approves Boost in
Gas Rates in Area

Natural gas rates will be in
creased again under an order APP
proved unanimously last Friday by
the Maryland Public Service COM
mission. The order marked the third
increase in gas rates in the area
since 1852.
Albert l.. Deem, executive secre-
tary of the commission, said the
PSC order requires the Cumber-
land and Allegheny Gas company
to file new schedule of rates
which will boost its net income be-
tween S98. 1929 and S12O,854 year.
The company had asked to in
crease rates still further.
1t was noted in the commission
order that the rates proposed by
the company appear to place the
greatest impact on the minimum
user of gas. The commission said
the new schedule should lessen the
impact on the small user. The COM
pany has ten days in which to mott
fly the commission of the acceptance
of the order.
The present rates went into eff
feet in October, 1854. Hearings on
the company's application for a
rate increase ended July IL when
c and A proposed compromise
rate schedule which would shift
the burden of the boost from those
who use gas for cooking and heat
ing water and cooking to those who
heat homes with gas. a brief pre-
senting the position of the OPP
ponents of the rate increase was
submitted by Cumberland and Al
legany county on September l.
They contended the stockholders
not the customers, should bear the
loss on several items which figured
in the c and A application.

Mail Truck Burns

Fire destroyed U. S. Mail truck
carrying over so sacks of mail on
Monday afternoon, November 5,
near the Cheat River bridge, at
the bottom of Caddell Mountain,
near Kingwood w. Va. The bulk
of the mail, mostly parcel post,
was intended for Morgantown and
Fairmont
The driver, ROLAND G. Schoch,
4 Oakland. sustained burns on the
hands and was treated later at Gar
rett County Memorial hospital in
Oakland.
The fire was discovered at p.
M by the driver of a gasoline truck
which was passing the mail truck.
The mail truck driver stopped his
vehicle and attempted to eXtinguish
the blaze. The Kingwood Fire De
partment was called but it was too
late to save much of the mail.
This mail truck meets the Wash
ington-Cincinnati train at Terra Al
ia each day at 1888 p. m, and picks
up mail for Morgantown and Fair
mont, as well as intermedite points
along the route.
A Postoffice inspector took all
scraps left from the fire and was
working on identification. There
was very little first class mail on
the truck, it was reported.
