States and us. policies in deal
ing with that Surplus.
But Egypt has complicated its
foreign exchange situation be-
yo11d that by mortgagirg ahead
o. time large port cf its cotton
crop for many years in the flu
turc in return for arms from the
Communist bloc.
Fer these and other reasons it
would be quite impossible for
Egypt to carry out an economic
development program on the
basis of cotton exports alone.
Source OF Money
This is where the Suez Canal
fits into the picture. In 1855,
gross receipts of the canal from
tolls were about 93 million dol
lars. By Matchmaking the canal
Nasser calculates he will acquire
"a very valuable source OF for
eign exchange-and in this he
is, of course, quite correct pro-
viding he gets away with the
naturalization.
From the point of view of
charging what the traffic will
bear, Egypt might be able to
moro than triple the present
canal tolls before ships began to
find it worth while to take the
longer journey around the Cape
of Good Hope. Thus conceivably
Egypt might be able to milk the
Suez Canal tolls for an enor-
nous revenue in foreign cur
rencies which could be used for
economic development

town, Tex, reported to Mrs. w.
H. Percy that they had struck
oil, she blew her top. "It's just
revolving" she said, "my grass.
shrubs and trees are dying in
the drought" She had hired the
drillers to bring in a water well
to replace one which went dry
this summer. Her only conso-
lation was that if the newly dis
covered oil is in commercial
quantity, she might be able to
afford to drill again for water.
Q Oil also caused consterns ton
this week to property owners in
a swank section of Hollywood.
The black stuff bubbled up un-
invited in the front lawn Of a
luxurious home, oozed over the
sidewalk and threatened to spill
out into the street. Police said
the elaborate lor es in the
neighborhood were built over an
old oil field and apparently a
cap on an abandoned well had
rusted out.

lare apt to be crucial in estab-
fishing composition of the next
Senate. Democrats had hoped
that Lehman would decide to
hold out for one more term,
since he would have been the
hardest man for the Republi-
cans to beat. In Maryland, Tyd-
ing's withdrawal lessons the
Democrats chances of unseating
Butler.
On the comeback trail after his
defeat six years ago by Butler
in a campaign made controver-
sial by Sen. Joseph McCarthy's
(R-Wis) efforts in behalf of his
opponent, Tydings proved his
strength this spring by winning
the Democratic nomination in a
close primary race.
Doctors Unanimous
Shortly after his primary vic
tory, however, the 66-year-old
former senator was stricken
with shingles, a disease affecting
the nerve endings. Rumors that
he would be forced to withdraw
were at first denied but this
week Tydings announced that
his doctors were unanimous In
advising him against attempting
a campaign.
Sen. Lehman, who is rs, told
reporters the reason he was not
standing for reelection was that
he is simply not up to the rig
ors of another campaign. 1t is
known, too, that his family
wanted him to retire.
Lehman has been in the Sen
ate since 1949, the first person
of the Jewish faith ever to hold
a Senate seat.
His retirement presaged a
wide open race in November for
his Senate post. Lehman said

1t is now almost 10 months

Never Say Die

The Democrats and the Re-
publicans, who monopolized
headlines with their choices of
presidential tickets over the
past two weeks, were not the
first parties to get into the
November sweepstakes.
Five minor parties, including
New Jerseys Poor Mans party,
announced tickets months ago
and more are expected. Few
of these parties, however, will
qualify for the ballot in more
than a handful of states.
Started Early
Minor party slate-making for
this year began as early as Sept.
Is, 1855, when the Prohibition
party nominated history pro-
fessor DR.. Enoch A. Holtwick of

tial candidate. The party pailed

Morocco
Signs of Unrest

SfSffS VI Sth (St
The most powerful political
party in Morocco walked out OF
the coalition government OF
Premier 81 Bekkai this week
plunging the country into its
first real political crisis since il
won formal independence from
France this spring.
The fiery nationalistic Inde-
pendence party notified Sultan
ben Youssef that it wanted to
rule the government alone with
its own Premier.
The present coalition Cabinet
is composed of 10 ministers
from the Independence party,
six from the Democratic Inde-
pendence party and five without
party affiliation. The decision to
seek complete control over
Morocco's young government
was made public after a meet
ing of the party's National
Council. The maneuver was
generally regarded as a victory
for the pro-Egyptian elements,
led by Allal ell Fassi.
The National Council also ap-
proved proposals calling for
withdrawal of the 45,0UO French
troops now in Morocco, social
ization of important segments
of the Moroccan economy, land
reform and other anti-colonial
measures.
Significantly for the United
States, the Independence party
council also backed demands
for talks with the United States
on the future of the five
American airbases located in
Morocco. These fields form an
important part of the ring of
strategically located long-range
bomber bases which would en-
able US. planes to reach the
Russian heartland in any future
conflict.

of the late senator whom Leh-
man succeeded in Washington.
Long one of the great vote
getters in New York, Lehman
entered state politics in 1928 as
lieutenant governor under the
late Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Lehman said this week that
it was with a ''heavy heart"
that he decided not to run
again. However, he added that
he would campaign actively in
and beyond New York for
Democratic presidential nominee
Adlai Stevenson, whom he
helped nominate at the Chicago
convention.

lis a giveaway to special inter-
ests. This is another place where
there is asreal theological issue.
Atomic energy falls within this
category.
In the field of social security
and the like, both are for schools,
home and mother.
Both are for efficient govern
ment and against sin in public
office.
Statehood Supported
Both are for Alaskan and Ha-
waiian statehood and develop
Iment Of Puerto Rico, and for
enfranchisemsnt in the District
Iof Columbia.
1t will be seen here that, aside
from arguing about who can do
it better, the only fundamental
issue between the parties is
what Joe Martin calls the $50
Icialistic state" the Republicans
scotched, or what the Democrats
call helping the people"
This issue, indeed, amt what
it used to be.
The ascendancy of the "Eisen-
hover liberals" in the RepuSli-
can party-which, incidentally,
is not guaranteed to last beyond
Eisenhower-and the rise of the
"moderates," or comparative
conservatives among the Demo-
Gratis, has narrowed the gap.
Actually, it was the split be-
tween the Stevenson-Jo Johnson
moderates-and not only on the
point of the civil rights issue
and the Truman-fiarriman de-
scendants of Franklin Roosevelt,
which provided the pre-conven-
ton fight among the Democrats.
Differences Narrowing
Thus there is not only a con-
servative and a liberal wing in
each party, but the parties are
coming closer together at the
top.
The Democrats made mighty
effort at Chicago to deny this,
even to the point of saying some
things which, to keep it en- a
high level of expression, skirted
the outer edges of veracity. The
Republicans more or less ignored
this, putting far less stress on
theological differences than in
1852.

next 10 weeks will primarily

ticular party cloak around =
