he expected many more and that
some probably would be unfav-
orable.
The President spoke from his
office, before two television cam
eras and an array of newsreel
and press cameras facing his
desk.
Betraying no signs of the strain
under which he has been labor
ling in the rift with Britain and
France, the only concern he ex-
pressed before and after going
on the air was about whether his
speech would run over his al
lotted Is minutes of TV and
radio time. Assured before he
started talking that he would
not be cut off in any event, he
seemed pleased when told at the
end that he had timed it right

Telegram From Stevenson
Shortly before the Eisenhower
talk, Adlai Stevenson, the DEM
locratic presidential candidate,
announced that he had tele-
graphed the President urging
that you will not commit us
ito any precipitate military
action"
| Mr.. Hagerty was asked about
the Stevenson telegram in his
morning press briefing. He said
that normally he does not COM
ment on kilograms 'given to the
press before they're dispatched
to the President" He gave this
play-by-play on the telegram
from the Democratic candidate,
however:
The wire was sent from La
Guardia Airport in New York at
7:25 pm, 10 minutes after the
President had finished his adj
dress to the Nation. 1t was de-
livered to the White House at
9:03 pm. News service stories
on it moved at TIA pm. from
La Guardia as the President was
concluding his address.
Il think the Presidents speech
last night answers the telegram"
Mr.. Hagerty commented.
The Presidents speech in
Philadelphia tonight could be
his last major address in his
battle for reelection. He is con-
sidering a final campaign APP
pearance in Boston Monday
night-election eve. But Mr..
Hagerty said that trip will de-
pend on developments abroad.

The United States was neither

and British attacks against
Egypt, the President said.

sions, he emphasized that cit is
likewise our right to dis

Mr.. Eisenhower also criticized
Egypt for her misguided policy

The British Air Ministry an

Aimed at Military Targets
A French Defense Ministry
communicate said "all bombing

aimed only at military objects. "
The British Ministry spokes-
man declined to say how many
planes took part, but he said the
operations were not large in
comparison with the giant bomb

reported no British losses and

jet Vickers Valiants and two-jet
Canberras carried out the strikes.

A Nosser Victory

The United Nations police force
is ready to move into Egypt = under
conditions which must be as pleasing to
President Nasser as they are painful to
France, Britain and Israel.
1t is clear that the Egyptian Presi-
dent has had his way. For the agree
ment reached with Dag HammarSkiold
provides (D that Egypt must approve the
entry OF U. N. troops from any particular
country and each separate shipment of
troops, ~ that Egypt will determine
where the U. N. forces are to be stationed.
20 that the police force will Withdraw
Immediately If Egypt so orders, and az
that the U. N. forces will withdraw from
the Suez Canal zone as soon as the French
and British troops leave, and will there
after take stations on the Egyptian
, Israeli demarcation line.
Obviously, under these conditions,
the U. N. force will not be a police force
In any realistic sense of the term. For
1t is force that is essentially under the
direction of Egypt-one of the belliger-
ents. But 1t was necessary for the U. N.
to face up to the facts of life in the
Middle East, and this deal, no doubt, is
the best that could be obtained.
The main hope is that the presence
OF the U. N. force in Egypt will forestall
Intervention by that somewhat nebulous
army of Soviet volunteers" A great deal
has been said and written about this
volunteer force. The latest was a report
from the Egyptian Ambassador in Moscow
that $4,000 Russians had volunteered"
There still is no convincing evidence,
however, that such force exists, or that
1t could be effectively moved into the
Middle East if it should be organized.
But perhaps this volunteer army does
not need to exist. For the mere threat
OF such intervention has been enough to
spur the Western nations and, we may
hope, Egypt to urgent efforts to raise the
shield of U. N, force on the scene How
effective this shield will be in the long
run remains to be seen. If it merely
serves to keep the Russians out, however.
that will be some gain.
We know of no reason to hope for
any greater gain. The reckless French
British-ISraeli gamble has ended in dis
NAL failure. Not one of its real detectives
has been attained And what is left is
a heritage of hatred that will add enor-
mously to the difficulties of any real
settlement of the Arab Israeli contro-
verSy.

An Absurdity Ended

The District Commissioners have
taken sensible and long overdue step in
abolishing the absurd requirement that
the management of arenas and halls
pay for traffic and other police services
outside their grounds. 1t was manifeStly
unfair to charge operators of licensed
premises" for police services on public
streets, since they already had paid for
such services through taxes. Further
more, the requirement was discrimina-
tory, in that unlicensed places of public
assembly like the Armory and Carter Bar
ron Amphitheater were exempt from the
special assessments.
To illustrate the abSurdity, the Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra was charged
for traffic policemen outside Constitution
Hall, whereas rock n roll sessions at the
Armory escaped the charge Yet Police
Chief Murray had found it necessary to
assign far more officers to keep order at
the Armory concerts" than to keep traf-
flc moving near Constitution Hail. CAL
win Griffith was justified in waging
vigorous fight against the extra-fee sys-
TEN. 1t is safe to assume that Congress
never intended to authorize any such plan
when it passed law giving the Commits
Sioners permission to charge for special
police protection inside the ball park and
in other public places of assembly.

Heart Progress

Science now seems to have made
what may we'll prove to be major adj
vance in the battle against heart disease.
The advance is striking new surgical
technique that cleans out the fatty ma
terial that clogs up human arteries and
thus causes coronary attacks In its po-
tentials at least, what this promises is
the development of an extraordinarily
potent weapon against one Of mankinds
deadliest affiictionS.
AS explained by its developers, in
report to the American Society for the
Study of ArterioSclerosis, the technique
involves the use of thin, hollow instru-
ment that is pushed through the arteries
to Scrape away the clogging substance.
The effect of this-which is roughly COM
parable to what happens when stopped
up water pipes are reamed outs to
increase the flow of blood to the heart
muscle. Within the past fortnight, the
operation has been performed on two
men who have suffered coronary attacks.
Both have responded well to 1t, and the
hope is that 1t will greatly lessen, or pos
sibly remove entirely, their susceptibility
to future attacks.
With proper caution, lest hopes be
raised too high, the doctors who have
reported this have emphasized that it is
too early as yet to assess the true value
Of the reaming-out surgery. Even so,
their report certainly seems promising
enough to suggest that we may be enter
Ing upon new era in,the treatment, and
perhaps even the prevention, Of heart

ing in the dread military field, is still

dents lead this year was 81
$50 votes less than in 1852.
On the other hand, in some
of the great farm States east
of the Mississippi the Presi-
dent registered real gains. In
Illinois, Stevenson's home
State, Eisenhower rolled up a
lead of 800. 900 votes, as COM
pared with his 1852 lead-443,-
600. Also, in Ohio the Presi-
dents margin Of victory
jumped from 100000 four
years ago to 1910 In Michi-
gan. where the CLIO, under the
leadership of Walter Reuther,
head Of the Automobile Work.
ers Of America, worked hard
for Stevenson, Eisenhower's
lead was increased by some
$4,000 votes.
These States are heavily in
dustrial as well as agricultural,
and thereby hangs a tale. For
in the industrial East, Eisen-
hower's gains also were huge.
New York gave the President
this year l,577,284 more votes
than it gave Stevenson, an al
most incredible victory. Four
years ago, Eisenhower's lead
in the Empire State was S48.-
600. In Connecticut the Presi-
dents lead jumped from 129,-
600 in 1852 to 305. 900, and New
Jersey gave him victory mar
gin of 100000 compared with
$4,000 in 1852.
Obviously the hugely pros
porous conditions for workers
and business operated strongly
in favor of the President, and
the loss Of farm income and
low prices for farm products
lost him votes III the agricul-
tural States.
Same Effect in Congress
1t is noticeable, too, that in
the congressional races the
Republican losses were mostly
in the West. where they lost
two Senate seats in Colorado
and Idaho, two House seats in
California and in Oregon. and
one House seat in such States
as Iowa, Kansas, Montana,
Nevada. South Dakota. The
Republicans, on the other
hand. gained three seats in
New Jersey. two in West Vir-
ginia, and one each in Penn
sylvania, Connecticut and
Delaware. They gained Senate
seats in New York, Kentucky
and West Virginia. but lost
one each in Pennsylvania and
Ohio.
In the South the Presidents
gains in popular vote were
large, and he added a State.

in the solid South" in 1852.
In Texas, his lead rose from
$4,000 to 100000: in LOUISE

he won by $4,000 votes. and in
Virginia his lead jumped from
