Russian game apparently is to
maintain some degree of turmoil
in the Middle East, to worsen
Western ties with Arab nations
Egypt - and to
build Soviet power and influence
in the Arab world.
1t was noted here that in the
early days Of the Suez crisis So
Wet officials were talking in
terms of moderation and q
solution. Some experts
speculated that once Western
diplomacy and especially the
personal efforts Of Mr.. Dulles
had diminished the immediate
dangers Of war, Soviet leaders
decided they could take riskier
line in the interest of their own
broad political aims in the Arab
world.
Egyptians Seek Pilots
Meanwhile the Egyptian EN-
bassy in Washington announced|
last night that it was under
taking to recruit pilots in the
United States to help guide ships
through the, 103-mile channel.
Egyptian officials had already
taken similar action in some
Western European countries.
The State Department had
anticipated such an Egyptian
move here and decided in ad-
vance that the United States
Government would not object. |
Of1cialS said the stated policy
OF the United States is to keep
the channel open and operatingI
and if some American citizensI
want to contribute to that pur-
pose by becoming canal pilots
the Government will not stand
in their way. They might bel

2. Never act skeptical when
handed an official government
statement that is obviously fab
ricated Take what they hand
out seriously.
3. Don't appear neutral. To
be well received, the Egyptians
must be convinced that you are
pro-Arab and ready to tell the
world their viewpoint.
The official accusation against
the western journalists just ex-

porting, aiming by so doing al

CIlaC OOVleC propaganda 10 EgypC
was denouncing the interna-
tional operation proposal as
imperialism and "colonialisrn." :"
Obviously. Mr.. Dulles said, "the
effect Of that---presumably the
intended effect--was to make it
as diff1clilt as possible for PreSi-
dent Nasser to accept. Never
theless, ] do believe that Presi-

fluence and authority to accept
a fair plan"
Nasser Not Committed
President Nasser agreed yes
terday to meet with a committee
which will carry to him the
International z a tion proposal
adopted by last weeks 22-nation
conference in London. But Pres
ident Nasser did not commit
himself to accept the Western
sponsored proposal or even to use
it as basis Of negotiation.
Weeks or perhaps months of
negotiation may be necessary to
determine the eventual outcome.
There is yet no indication what
President Nasser considers a
fair plan.
Although three Far Eastern
nations Joined Russia in voting
against the plan at the London
conference, Mr.. Dulles said all
the nations except Russia were
really trying to find a way to a
peaceful and fair solution"

the military Governor of GAIA.
You have been asking too
many questions" he said. I'VE

A formidable figure behind his
desk, the Governor had called
in two official guides" for the
interrogation. They had been
assigned to my tour of GAIA, but
that very morning this corre-
spondent had slipped out early
and alone-to ask questions.
Ordered Into Jeep
At the headquarters of the
United Nations Relief and Works
Agency in GAIA, one of the
guides-a heavily muStached
hero of the Arab-Israeli war
caught up with me and ordered
me into an army jeep.
He drove like an angry camel
driver to military headquarters.
He refused to answer questions.
To the reminder that I was only
making visit to a U. N. agency
to talk to an official, he said:
",'You know you are not supposed
to do anything without me-"
1t had been the same when 1
tried to talk to refugees alone
and directly in my broken Arabic.

around to translate"

During the two hours in which
the session lasted, it degenerated
from Interrogation to cajoling,
once the suspicious Egyptians
found there was nothing even
remotely tangible to seize upon.
Few Rules of Thumb
One of the Western corre-
spondents with the longest ex-
perience in the Arab countries
has these rules of thumb:

different languages in assign

4 CHILD is more self-reliant if he can tie

applies in the realm of public affairs.
United States Senator Harry F. Byrd
recently said, 1--WE are building up govern

this Union that can't support its school
system. There is not single county in this
country that can't do it. OF course, if they

be that they won't try to do it."

Sicilians in Sicily

4 GOOD EXAMPLE of the liberal i'm
EMANCIPATION policies of the United States
over the years is seen in an advertisement
recently run in The New York Times. The
ad was sponsored by the Friends of Sicily
in America, and was placed in the New
York newspaper to welcome President
Giovanni Gronchi of Italy.
The ad noted that 100000 Americans
of Siciian origin, welcomed the Italian
President. Later on in the ad, it was stated
that Gronchi had done job and helped
greatly to develop the natural resources of
Sicily, whose 100000 people will become
another bulwark against Communism.
In other words, there are now three mil
lion Americans of Sicilian origin in the
United States while there are only five
million Scilians in Sicily. Nothing could
show the liberal features of the American
immigration program more clearly than
this.

NAACP legal counsel has filed a mo-
ton before the District Federal Court to
order Indignation of Prince Edward Coun-
ty school beginning September of 1856.
The case has been set for hearing by the
court on July 9. In the meantime the Prince
Edward School Board must plan for oper-
alton of public schools for the coming year.
1t is to be presumed that the same proceed
ure will be in effect as last year, namely,
that the Board of Supervisors will provide
funds for the schools on month-to- month
basis, thereby remaining in a position to
close the public schools when Indignation
is ordered.
These prescriptions being taken as a
premise, the Prince Edward Educational
Corporation can complete its plans for the
operation of white schools in event the
public schools system becomes imperative.
Certainly white teachers should be assur
ed. Their loyalty, cooperation and efficien-
cy have been tested before and certainly
the people will again assure them.
Prime Edwards position is we'll found
ed. The action of the people is determined
by not emotional. The strength of their
position lies in the calmness. the lack of
racial tension, and the resoluteness which
people can maintain, believing their posi-
ton to be right.

THE PEOPLE of Prince Edward County
have made known to the Board of
Supervisors their wishes in regard to fore
ed racially mixed public schools "A simple
statement signed by over 1900 citizens at
firms, or reaffirms, the belief of the people
that separation of the races in public
schools of this county is absolutely neces-
sary' and that they prefer to abandon
public schools and educate our children
in some other way if that be necessary to
preserve separation of the races in the
county" This reaffirms the position taken
by the Board of Supervisors and the people
in mass meeting last year.
Prince Edward County rests it's case
There is nothing more which can be done
by the white people to make known their
