tons basis that President
Truman had at Key West,
Fla, during the Korean War
and there were some acute
phases in that war.
The telephone and telegraph
lines are private. They are for
the use only of the President
and they connect continu-
ously with the White House
telephone switchboard and
with the telegraph room there.
The same preparations are
made many weeks in advance
whenever the President is
planning a visit to Denver or
to any other place across the
country where he makes a
stop. The communications
equipment at the Presidents
farm at Gettysburg has been
established for several months
and can be put into operation
at a moments notice. Con-
ferences by telephone nova
days can be held with three
or five or more persons at the
same time. and two-way con-
versations are possible among
all the participants.
There are folks who think
that, when an international
situation gets in the head
lines, the President should
station himself in his Office
and wiring his hands while the
photographers take pictures of
him meeting the crisis" The
truth is that a President needs
time to read the constant flow
of messages that come to him
from all parts of the world.
and he can do a better job of
concentration and can think
things through with far more
objectivity when he is de-
tached from Washington's
pressures. Any officials needed
for a personal conference can
always be summoned in a few
hours flying time.
When Mr.. Truman went to
Key West a few years ago, this
correspondent wrote somewhat
the same exposition of the
presidential communications

The calls are also affording
dissatisfied Democrats, of
which there is always a bull
market, a chance to tell WASH
ington off. One listener feels
that if the same people will
only expend equal energy

A competing factor is a $500

the Stevenson-Kefauver pri-
mary campaigns are chewing
up much party money, energy
and time.
But they help otherwise. The
candidates have got the cam

dent and the issues much faster

been possible without primary

A President Is ALWAYS on Duty

system and defended Mr.. Tru-
man from similar criticisms.
Unfortunately, there seems to
be a tendency to criticize
Presidents when they try to
get some exercise or rest. They
never really take vacations ex-
cept for a few hours at a
time.
The theory that a Chief
Executive can do a good job
only in the midst of Wash
ington's whirl is a fallacy. A
President deserves all the
time he can possibly take for
golf or any other recreation.
Past Presidents have had their
hobbies, and the Nation never
begrudged the vacations of
Grover Cleveland or of Herbert
Hoover, both of whom liked to
go fishing.
One thing is rarely publ
cized. It's that a President
often works long into the night
and on week ends. The time
he spends reading important
messages from all over the
world and memoranda from
his associates is unknown to
the public generally-but,
whether it's at Augusta or
Gettysburg or Denver, the time
spent by the President on the
golf course is reported. Also,
If he losses out the first ball
at the opening of the baseball
season, it's widely covered
and. of course, if he doesn't 60
to the initial game. it offends
the fans. Yet the time he
spends at his desk during the
day or in his bedroom at night
reading official papers never
gets into the newspapers. 1t
often means a 50-honr week
for him.
1t is the pettiest kind of
partisanship and narrow
mindedness to criticize any
President for taking a vaca-
ton or trips away from Wash
ington. 1t would be better for
America if all Presidents spent
more time travelling around
the country rather than tie
themselves down to the White
House continuously for IL
months a year.

ride. One opposition leader
proclaimed that Greece should
quit NATO at once and follow
a policy like that of Yugoslavia,
India and Egypt. This was
called a sure remedy for the
Cyprus question because Amer
lea is more prone to help
neutrals than allies.
NATO is badly split in this
area where it was based on
the general coalition. fortified
by the Balkan pact between
Yugoslavia, Greece anu Iur-
key. Greece refused last fall
to participate in any military
games and councils where the
Turks were present. This is in
line with the new Moscow
tactics in hating its own saber
rafting and striving with
alarming success to destroy
the brittle alliances which the
United States has built up at
stupendous cost in it's efforts
to buy friends,
The Cyprus matter, unim-
portant to the ultimate goal
of the alliances, came to the
fore under Communist prod
ding. Recently Soviet agents
succeeded in Transforming the
latent interest of the Greeks
in the Greek-speaking Cypriots
(who have never been a part
of this country into a burn
ing issue.
Greeks of all classes main
tain that Cyprus is now not
only a national but a moral
issue. Refusal of Britain to
treat it as such has resulted
in that century-long ally Of
Greece being described as an
immoral, greedy and rapacious
country.
When asked what Russia
attitude is, the answer is:
Very correct. They take no
part in this quarrel among
allies. But, of course. they
agree that international mo-
rality is entirely ON our side"
Today the British and the
Turks are arch villains to the
Greeks. Tomorrow America
may join their ranks.

Greeks May Join Tito-Arob Alliance
Unless the Crisis Is Solved Soon

British could maintain their
bases on Cyprus and as a bonus
Greece would be willing to
grant other bases in Greece
itself. The Greeks ask why.
Washington does not jump at
this proposition and urge Lon
don to accept it, thus restor-
ing the badly shaken NATO
and Balkan alliances.
Unless the British Turkish
Greek crisis is solved quickly,
the alternative. according to
Greeks of all political parties.
is to join the coalition-to-be of
Yugoslavia. Greece, Egypt and
the Middle East Arab coun-
tries. This would not mean
necessarily that the Athens
government would be more
pro-Soviet than Tito or Egyp-
tan Premier Nasser. 1t would,
however, please the Russians
to have another neutralist
country of such strategic i'm
portance.
The moderate Karamanlis
cannot ignore the trends which
have been started in the last
year by the Greek politicians.
Addressing Parliament on April
4 he paid intentional lip-serv-
ice to NATO, which he de-
scribed as a shield of collec-
tive security" Then he added
that every member of the
coalition must have the same
faith in principles of democ-
racy sand freedom if it is to
survive. Then he mentioned
the Cyprus question and gave
NATO a kick by warning that
any other attitude on the part
of certain members (meaning
Britain and Turkey does not
merely hinder the fulflllment
of its mission for which it was
created but threatens to under
mine it's very foundations"
Normally such words could
be interpreted as oratory for
home consumption. BUTT was
not true in this case. Poor

DAVID LAWRENCE

The horse-and-buggy days
have long since gone but, judg-
ing from some recent COM
ments criticizing President
Eisenhower for not staying in
Washington during a fiare-up
in the Middle East, it might
be supposed that some people
do not know that the airplane
and the telegraph and the tel
ephone make it unnecessary
for any Chief Executive to re-
main in the National Capital
all the time.
AS a matter of fact, those
who wanted President Eisen-
hover to cancel his recent trip
to Augusta, Ga, didn't realize
that such a step would in it
self have set off an alarm
around the world. Stock
markets would have been af-
fected, and nervousness about
a new Gallup of the draft
would have ensued.
Actually, nowadays a Presi-
dent of the United States can
be anywhere in this country
and take care of an interna-
tional crisis so far as military
or diplomatic messages or in
structions are concerned.
For some years now it has
been we'll known in Washing
ton that only one mantle
President---has the authority
to order use of the atomic
bomb in case of sudden attack.
Naturally, if a President goes
from city to city. as he has to
do occasionally during his term
of Office, arrangements have to
be made for instantaneous
communication with him.
These have always been care
fully planned to meet any
emergency operation.
Wherever the President goes.
there are telephone or radio
contacts. and he can even be
reached aboard a plane and
hold a conversation with his
subordinates while travelling in
the air. When Mr.. Eisenhower
goes to Augusta, he has the
same setup on a communica-

I have said that in the Arab
Israel conflict the great pow
ers. or one among them, pref
erably the United States, must
come up with a peace plan.
This holds both for the Sc
curity Council and for the
parties to the tripartite agree
ment. The purpose , of this
American British French
agreement was to prevent war,
not to provide a means OF get
ting into one should it occur.
The idea that it would be a
deterrent" to aggression" has
already been exploded. Ag-
gressions from both sides have
been continual, and in the
present situation of chain re-
actions there is no unequivocal
way Of being certain, in any
incident, of the 'aggressor."
The real aggreSsor would be
the party or parties who held
out against a peace based on a
reasonable settlement, in con-
formity with original U. N.
purposes.
Such a settlement, / submit,
would require:
I. That the Arab state pre-
pare to recognize Israel, and
remove the blockade. in return
for certain concessions.
.. That Israel make such
concessions as are agreed by a
majority of all nations TO be
necessary to the ending Of the
present state of war.
These concessions must. I
should think, involve the fol-
lowing:
/. At least a token accept
ance Of such Arab refugees as
desire to return to their orig
inal homes, and the full estab-
lishment Of their political and
economic equality, and that Of
the Arabs who remained.
2. Full and generous finan-
cial compensation to the dis
possessed. in return for the
abolition of the camps where
they have been living for eight
years or more. This should not
be borne by Israel alone but
all the states that voted to
create her, leading among
them the United States.
