stop there. The most striking
feature of the change is a sudden
stiffening of the Western powers
in the face of nationalist move
ments which threaten strategic
interests in the Middle East.
For the last five years, while
the West has retreated before
these nationalist movements
there has been no real need, per-
haps for coordination. It could
even be argued that concerted
action by the West in any given
area had the positive disadvan-
tage of compromising the inter-
ests of all the Western powers
together. From one point OF
view, it made sense, for instance
when the British were being
ousted unceremoniously from
Egypt, for Britain's allies to play
the role of benevolent neutrals
And although the effort al
friendly impartiality sometimes
resulted in bitter criticism from
both sides, it sometimes also
seemed to pay dividends.
Ride With the Tide
During this period of retreat
the effort has been to ride with
the nationalist tide. to give
ground, to negotiate and COM
promise, in the hope that when
the dust settled, most, if not al
the Vests strategic interests ir
the area could be preserved. The
goal has been to work out a for

Red Raids Defended
By Top Tax Official
AideCuIIed
In to Explain
Surprise
BY ROBERT X. WALSH

In a statement regarded 40
still showing surprise and en-
barrasSment, Internal Revenue
Commissioner Russell c. Har-
rington today defended the New
York district directors handling
of tax raids on the Communist
Party and its newspaper, the
Daily Worker.
Mr.. Harrington limited his
comment to a two-sentence state
ment. He handed it to reporters
after he and Treasury General
Counsel Fred C. Scribner, jr.,
conferred for several hours
earlier today with Donald r.
Moysey, the New York revenue
director.
Donald r. Moysey, district
director of our Lower Manhat-
tan Revenue District, came down
from New York this morning to
fill me in on the details of the
seizures of Communist proper
ties in several cities which took
place yesterday" Mr.. Harring-
ton said.
ii can assure you that this
case is being handled precisely
as any other similar taxpayer
matter would be handled by the
Internal Revenue Service under
its obligation to enforce the rev.
enue laws"
MOysey Refuses Comment
Mr.. Moysey left for New York,
refusing to talk with reporters.
He had arrived here early this
morning after being summoned
Iby Mr.. Harrington and top
Treasury officials to give a COM
Iplete account of his action in
organizing and conducting the
swift raids on Communist Party
headquarters in New York and
several other cities yesterday.
Those raids conceded with the
filing of tax liens claiming the
Communist Party owed the Gov
eminent at least $685., 900 in in
come taxes and that the Daily
) Worker owed another $4,000.
Mr.. Harrington's refusal to say
: anything further on the subject
i apparently raised many more
: questions than the statement an
swered. Some of his associates
interpreted the statement as in
dicating that Mr.. Moysey acted
without prior consultation with
Treasury and Internal Revenue
Service authorities here.
At the same time, they inter-
preted the statement as a de-
tense of the legal authority of
i, Mr.. Moysey to take such action
!, in an attempt to collect money
) he believes is owed to the Gov
eminent by an organization
which is not tax exempt.
60 Days to Protest
Attorneys at the Internal Rev.
enue Service noted that the Com
munist Party and the Daily
Worker have so days in which
to protest the move. This con-
ceivably could open the door to
prolonged court litigation which
would involve probable claims by
the Communist Party that it is
not subject to income taxes be-
cause it is primarily a political
organization.
Mr.. Moysey, formerly an audi
tor at agency headquarters here,
has been director in New York
less than two months. His fam
lily still lives in Cheverly, Md.
Earlier, an agency official
said he saw no special signif1-
canoe in the fact that the
seizures were made at this par
, ticular time.
/ He explained that, in general,
there is considerable precedent
for seizures of this kind both in
the case of organizations claim
ing they are tax-exempt and
even of a newspaper whose tax
returns are contested by the

Success of Personal
Diplomacy Seen by
Three Participants
BY JAMES E. ROPER
Star Stan Correspondent


WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,
wv. Va, Mar. 28.-President Ell
senhower's conference with
Mexican and Canadian leaders
ended today with the partici-
pants hailing it as major sue
cess of personal diplomacy.
With beaming goodwill, Mr..
Eisenhower babe farewell today
to his guests-Mexican President
Adolf Ruiz Confines and Cana
dian Prime Minister Louis s. st.
Laurent. Then they all left for
home.
For three days, the three
heads of the North American
nations had talked on a man
to-man basis in the relaxed at
mosphere of this famed resort.
More Parleys Expected
Although the real long-range
effect of this personal contact
may never be measured, every
body seemed so pleased that the
United States is sure to sponsor
more of this kind of personal
diplomacy that Mr.. Eisenhower
and Secretary of State Dulles

Maybe we can do this again, u
Mr.. Eisenhower said to Mr.. St
Laurent as they had a final
handshake in front of the
Greenbrier Hotel today.
Pointing to DR.. Milton Eisen-
hover. his brother, Mr.. Eisen-
hover told President Ruiz Cor
tines:
"He is coming down (to Mex
ico) in the fall"
The good-bys were said partly
in Mr.. Eisenhower's suite at the
hotel and partly at the curbside
The President escorted the visi-
tors to their automobiles that
took them to airports on Their
way home.
Then Mr.. Eisenhower boarded
a special train due in Wash.
ington by 800 pm. He rode
in the same private car that hi
used when he came here Sunday
night.
Children Surround Car
Several hundred high sclloo
children swarmed around thu
Presidents car as the trair
pulled out. Mr.. Eisenhower ap.
lpeared at a rear window ane

DR.. Eisenhower.
Secretary of State Dulles
pressed by reporters for an ap.
praisal of the conference, said
1.-THE talks were harmoniou,
and created a fine atmosphere.
No problems were solved
American officials admit. But
they feel that because of the per-
sonal relationships established
here. the problems that do exist
among the North American coun.
tries will not worsen.
The conference, therefore
takes on the form of a proven
tive medicine-a medicine that
is not as spectacular nor as
Iprovable in results as one that
cures.
Conferees, however, hailed the
results of the meeting. the first
Fever held by the heads of the
three governments.

ed a new era in the Relationship
