Saudi Arabic Kings Calming Counsel
Seen Possible Horbinqer of Stability

Arab nationalism may &C
complish in the Middle East
what neither the West nor
the Soviet bloc could gain.
Stability, If it is to come to
that troubled and dangerous
region, must come from the
Arab governments and popu-
lations themselves.
King Saud Of Saudi Arabia
has again lent a firm and
calming hand to the explosive
situation. The monarch acted
with most commendable re-
straint at the time of the
abortive British and French
invasion Of Egypt. Again.
when King Hussein's enemies
almost succeeded in their
Egyptian-inspired and Soviet
supported coup, it was Saud
whose influence was decisive.
Now he has taken a hand in
the Syrian crisis, and at this
writing the situation looks
better than 1t has in the past
few weeks.
Arab nationaliSm, potent
in the Middle East more than
any other single force, has
q strong emotional appeal to
all classes Of Arabs. Most
noteworthy Of all is the
fact that educated Arabs
in particular the graduates
Of the American University
at Beirut, capital Of Leb-
anon--are earnest and de-
voted nationalist. This fact
has led to the puzzling
spectacle Of American Uni
verSity graduates leading
pro-Communist movements
in Arab nations. But the
puzzlement vanishes when it
is realized that it is ma
tionalism, not communism,
that motivates these men.

plotting to the. fullest pos

DOROTHY THOMPSON
The Presidents Use of Force

PEELED to exercise "the firm-
ness with which I intend Ia
pursue this course until the
orders Of the Federal court at
Little Rock can be executed
without unlawful Interior

sought to prevent war but ac-
cepted it when it came in the
form Of mob violence, and he
issued the executive order
directing the use Of Federal
troops until the order should
be executed, public peace re-
stored, and the police powers
could be returned to State
and local authorities.
He has been criticized for
not having acted sooner and
more firmly. So also was Lin
coin criticized. 1t is no small
thing that the President has
done and the ultimate results
are not yet known.
The President did what his

the Egyptian dictator, Canal

boss has enjoyed among
Arabs everywhere.
OF course, a truly united
Arab nationaliSm, besides
being q contribution to sta
bility and order in the Middle
East and q brake on COM
muniSt penetration of the
area, will at the same time
be a greater threat to Israel.
There is nothing the Israelis
fear more than the emergence
Of an effective unity among
their adverSaries. They have
very good reason to fear 1t.
But there are increasing
evidences that responsible
Arab leaders, even including
the ambitious Nasser, viii be
cautious in any moves against
Israel so long as the world
situation remains in flux. And
it is doubtful that either the
Soviet Union or the Western
nations would be pleased at
the notion Of a united Arab
attack on Israel. King Saud'S
wise understanding Of the
Arab refugee problem shows
that he is willing to attack
the basis Of. the problem. not

Jean SibeIius

The passing Of the great
composer Jean Sibelius gives
rise to the opportunity to re-
fiect upon his great works and
possibly to clear up q mis-
understanding that must
have occurred to many
people.
When Reginal DeKoven in
terpolated into the original
score OF Robin Hood the mel
ody Of ooh Promise Me-" it
was hailed as q great and
original number. One cannot
help but recognize the melody
as the same as that Of ''Fin-
landia." The fact that De
Koven predeceased Sibelius
by nearly 40 years likewise
serves to add further to the
thought that the founder Of
the Washington Symphony
Orchestra preceded Sibelius.
The facts herewith are re-
vealing. Reginal DeKoven
was born at Middletown,
Conn.,, on April 8, 1861. He
died January Is. 1920 in
Chicago. Robin Hood was
firSt given in 1900. "Oh
Promise Me" was not in the
original score. It was not
included until sometime later.
Jean Sibelius was born
December 8, 1866, at Hame-
elinna in central Finland.
His flrst masterpiece, Fin
landia" was FIRST performed
in 1899. SibeliuS has been re.
ferred to as the only COM
poser Of original melody Of
his era.
A full understanding of the
above facts will help to keep
that reputation unchallenged,

course, are conscious Of the
suspicion their Belgrade meet
ing must have provoked in
Moscow. Some officials here
think the pair agreed to haul
out the old whipping boy,
NATO -oriented West Germany,
to allay Moscow fears.
The cost to Tito for saying
that the Oder-Neisse territories
should be permanent Polish
territory was little or nothing.
There are West German-Yugo-
Slav trade relations. but re-
stricting these would be as
painful to Germany as to Yugo-
Slavia.
Some West German oficials
are worried that the Tito in
dorsement Of Poland's territor-
ial claims may now be supple
mented by YugoSlav recogni-
ton Of East Germany.
Up to now Bonn believes it
deserves some Of the credit for
having persuaded the whole
non Communist world - and
Yugoslavia-to withhold recog-
milton Of the Pankow regime.
West Germany has even OBJ
tanned recognition for itself
from Yugoslavia and the Soviet
Union.
Seek TO Delay Issue
West German diplomats do
not intend, Of course. to make
the Oder-NeiSse territories q
point to be settled before for
NAL contacts with Warsaw are
resumed. They hope to make
the same arrangement made
with Moscow. that territorial
questions will not be prejudiced
by resumption Of diplomatic re-
lations.
The basic West German aim
Is to push the Oder Neisse
problem on until after reunifi-
cation. Then, when a final
peace treaty Is negotiated, the
plan Is for q united Germany
to work out something on those
parts Of Pomerania, Silesia and
East Prussia which the Pots
dam agreement assigned to Po-
land and the Soviet Union for
administration.
DR.. Adenauer has pledged
and even expelled Pomeranians
and Silesians agree-that Ger
many will never use force to re-
establish its control over the
lands beyond the Oder-Neisse.
Whether his successors will re-
spect that pledge, Of course, is
something he cannot guaran-
tee.
Still, the pledge has some
considerable value. For it places
the good faith Of Germany in
jeopardy, and this good faith
is something most Germans Of
the present generation seem to
value.

DefI0ting InfIotion

Since the time has come
for bold. imaginative, and
concerted measures against
imitation. the following plan,
involving what might be
termed q Moratorium on
Imitation" Is proposed:
l. A voluntary Nationwide
crusade. involving Q pledge
BY all business firms, labor
unions and persons not to
raise prices or request wage
increases for Q stipulated
period-e.g. three months or
perhaps six months.
2. Where measures to OBJ
tain wage increases or to in
crease prices have already
been initiated-e.g., q labor
union has asked for higher
wages for its members, or a
public utility has requested q
local government body to APP
prove . proposed price in
crease-Such measures viii be
suspended for the duration Of
the moratorium.
;. Those who believe that
they are in q peculiarly UNI
fortunate position and who.
therefore. feel that they
cannot cooperate in the
moratorium on the same
basis as the rest Of US, would
be asked to agree not to
raise prices or request wage
increases for the duration Of
the moratorium, unless an
impartial group rules that
they are entitled to i'm
mediate relief.
4. Have the crusade spon-
sored by Q national commit
tee consisting Of business
leaders, labor union ofiicials,
farm organizations, and rep
resentatives Of various other
groups, such as Rotary In
ternational, the National
Federation Of Women's Clubs.
etc. The national committee
should perhaps be supple
mented by State and local
committees.
1t appears likely that dur
ing the period Of the mora
forum q substantial number
Of imaginative firms and in
dividualS would reduce prices,
at least to q small extent;
and such action would help
spark . genuine anti-inna-
tionary attack.

Listening to the President

Of passages in Lincoln's Sec

greatest, to my mind, ever

Civil War was still raging
when he spoke, although its

The address is best remem-
bered for its closing lines,
with malice toward none,
with charity for all. :" But
earlier in the speech, brief
as his speeches always were,
he made the comment-ex-
traordinary for a statesman
in the midst Of war-that
since God had given to both
the North and the South
"this terrible war;" neither
could be adjudged guiltless.
but, quoting the Bible, WOE
unto him from whom the

had been the firing upon
Fort Sumter and the pro-
claimed secession Of the
Southern States.
One may argue that the
Civil War was another Of
the senseless wars Of history.

Union, but as Lincoln re-
marked in this same address,
the presence Of colored slaves
in part Of the States lent q
powerful interest to the war.
1t proved, indeed, the most
powerful interest, though for
Lincoln 1t was a secondary
one. He himself had said

Objects to Secrecy

I was deeply shocked to
learn that the Board Of
Trustees Of the Fairfax Hos
pital Association voted that
henceforth all business of
that board would be con.
Quoted in secret sessions.
Surely not only the gen.
eral public but most par
ticularly the members Of the
association have o right to
inform themselves first hand
concerning the actions taken
by the board Of trustees for
our community hospital. Even
II the motivation Of every
trustee is pure as the driven
snow In voting for the closed
meetings. they all must be
aware that they themselves
have planted seeds Of sus-
picion which the best Of
1iceS Of Q public relations
director" cannot possibly
eradicate.
What are the trustees so
eager to hide?" now becomes
a most natural and fair
question.
I believe that irreparable
harm has been done by this
unfortunate decision. And
not only psychologically,
either; I personally know Of
at least one sizeable contri.
button that was lost to the
association because Of the
hiring of an expensive and
unnecessary public relations
director" and the verdict to
conduct hospital association
business behind closed doors.
This evidence Of depleted
confidence is a serious mat
ter. and the implications Of
1t should be seriously studied
by the trustees.
I predict that the citizens
Of Fairfax County win have
many occasions in the future
to rue the secrecy surround
ing trustees meetings. AS
for myself, I say: Let the
people know-and in person.
