ON THE RECORD
Dulles Leaves Questions Open
BY DOROTHY THOMPSON

to investigate. Israel moved on
a retaliatory raid against Quie-
soma and GAIA, killing Is and
wounding 8 civilians.
In 1855 the U. N. proposed
the creation Of q buffer zone
on both sides of the frontier
to hold down illegal crossings.
1t was accepted by Egypt but
opposed by Israel. as it is
again opposed now, on the
ground that Israel will permit
no foreign troops on her soil.
But II one Is seeking tranquil
ity and has been unable to
obtain 1t by methods hitherto
employed, what is the argu-
ment?
A blockade in international
waters is an. act Of bellig-
erency, and the blockade Of
Israeli shipping and Of ships
bound to and from Israel in
the Suez Canal has been, in
U. N. opinion, q violation Of
the Armistice Agreement.
In the Courts Province
The right to free and In
nocent passage" through the
Gulf Of Aqaba Is, however, .
different matter, as Mr.. Dulles
indicated when he suggested
getting an advisory opinion
from the International Court
in The Hague. This does not
concern belligerent rights, but
the right Of ingress and egress
through the territorial waters
Of another state or states.
The entrance to the Gulf Of
Aqaba is extremely narrow
and lies wholly within the ter.
ritorial waters of Egypt and
Saudi Arabia. They argue
that there Is no international
right" for any ship to enter
such waters except by free
consent. which can be given
or withheld ct will. Actually.
this question has been dis
cussed in INSTRUMENTATION
reference to any specific port
or waters-by q standing q. N.
Committee on international
Law.
There have been arguments
on both sides, and no deci-
sion has yet been reached.
But this question is certainly
within the province Of the In
ternational Court. II the
United States is going to back
up Israel's claims, we should
have the best legal authority
for doing so.

Airport Controversy

have been keeping a history
Of the Washington Airport con-
troversy as discussed in letters
to the editor ever since the
subject was first brought to
the attention Of the public
some time ago. Your records
will show that there was con-
siderable protest to the Burke
site at one time, which grad
ually died down.
Now the citizens Of Fair
fax County have become eager
boosters for the Burke idea
because they have discovered
that the development of an
airport at the proposed site
will greatly relieve them of
their tax burden.
The encouragement to the
development of any industry
in a community for purposes
of tax relief is quite commend
able, but in the particular mat
ter of Burke there is great
doubt. Actually there is no JUS
LITIGATION for the construction
of an airport merely to provide
tax relief.
The primary consideration at
an airport is the safety Of the
passengers. arriving and de-
parting. The next considera-
ton is the safety Of the homes
in the vicinity, having in mind,
not the aircraft Of today, but
those which will be flying with
in the next few years. Safety
will have to be provided on the
approaches to the installation.
Proper coming will have to be
established. And with Jets.
there will be the problem of
noise, which few communities
care to tolerate.
l still believe that the Burke
site is becoming less practical
daily. 1t is my belief that with
a little search an appropriate
site can be found fairly close in,
fairly near good highways.
presently in existence or pro-
posed. That site will have to be

Dear Sir:
Some time ago. now. you
wrote about the great books
one is supposed to read but
can never get through.
Il would like to offer a sug-
gestion.
Suppose these very same
books are hard to read. for a
certain educated individual;
let him buckle down and read
them anyway.
This way. he builds INTEL
lectual backbone.
by doing what may seem
a trif1e distasteful to him, he
somehow enhances his chance
of being fair both to himself
and the authors.
Long ago l came to the con-
clusion that the popular taste.
when it is good, is very, very
good. That is. the voice Of the
people is truly the voice Of
God. when it comes to books.
-
I'm other words, let US put
it this way:
Best sellers do not come by
chance. They arise in the
yearly lists because the people
are often right. in fact. most
Of the time they are.
while some mediocre books
are included in their reading,
the basic selections are very,
very good.
II have often felt repealed
by popular taste. to the extent
that I have not read some
best seller Just because so
many other people are reading
it!

once more that the people are
right.

had best seller on his hands,
due to the vote Of the people.
I'm addition to this yearly
list of sellers. there is the list
which extends back into the
centuries. among which we
have what are called classics.
Il believe what repels some
of us, in regard to reading
such masterworks AS Les
Miserables," and War and
Peace" among the novels, is
that they bring up past ages
and customs which we do find
too strange. at first reading.
MY point is simply this.

In Mr.. Dulles press confer
ence on Tuesday the question
of the exercise Of "belligerent
rights" in the Arab-Israeli
controversy came up and curl
ously left the impression that
Egypt. alone, had been de-
manding and exercising them.
Now. the crisis of last No
vember was precipitated when
Israel attacked Egypt in full
military force. This was de-
clared an aggression by the
United Nations Assembly and
by the United States. Israel,
however, never accepted this
role, but claimed she was act
ing in self-defense because of
Egyptian infringementS of the
1949 armistice and her insist
ence in maintaining a state
of war marked by raids across
the frontiers. Thus she invoked
her own belligerent rights.
Now. 1t seems to me Gas 1t
did to Mr.. Hammarskjold)
that If Israel seriously wanted
to secure tranquility on her
borders as a necessary prep
aration for an ultimate peace,
she would have made every
effort to cooperate with the
United Nations Armistice Com
mission, charged to do Just
that thing, and would have
called for strengthening and
increasing its powers and mo-
bility.
Record Of Violations
But the record shows that
she did, in fact, consistently
hamper it. Under the terms
Of the armistice neither party
had any right to inject its
armed forces into the demili-
tarized zone. But Israel, who
has insisted throughout that
the protection Of her FROM
tiers was her own business,
constantly violated this pro-
vision. On August 80, for in
stance, an Israeli military
truck was blown up on its
way to visit q military installa-
ton within the demilitarized
zone. both in violation Of the
armistice. Whoever planted
the mine was also violating the
armistice. But had the U. N.
been moving freely in the
zone. and Israel keeping her
armed forces out. this partic-
lar incident could not have
happened. The U. N. Commits
sion was never given a chance

and that the plaintiffs had failed
to show there was any on the
part of their client.
Attorney David G. Bress, rep
resenting Mrs. Fletcher. argued
that, since there was no neg

ner concern. his client could not
be held negligent.
In 1858, Judge Walter NJ. Bas-
tian, who was then a District
Court judge. threw out the suit
after counsel for the plaintiffs
had made an opening state
ment. He relied at the time on
an earlier appellate court ruling
that a contractor could not be
held negligent for work accepted
by the person for whom it was
done.
Subsequently. the U. S. Court
of Appeals, in a A to decision
reversed Judge Bastian's ruling
