With his frontal attack on
President Eisenhower's Middle
East resolution. Senator Rich
ard B. Russell Of Georgia
raised the question of whether
he is starting of on an en-
tirely new change of direction.
If he is. the effect will be
deeply felt at both ends OF
Pennsylvania avenue.
Senator Russell is the brain
trust Of the predominantly
Southern leadership Of tn e
Senate. What Dick Russell
says = always very politely =
ought to be done, usually gets
done. Junior senators learn
very quickly that he goes
through the important doors
ahead Of them.
In past years he followed
without public question or
signs of misgiving the firm in
ternationalist leadership of his
senior colleague. Walter
George. What a loss Senator
George would prove to the
President had been generally
recognized. 1t was not eX-
pected that Senator Russell
would so quickly break away
from the George pattern.
Right now Senator Russell
is acting like a man thoroughly
disenchanted with what the
President and the Secretary of
State are doing and effects
they are trying to create.
A favorite retort Of Speaker
Rayburn when asked about a
knotty problem is: do you

the answer is yes, the ques-
toner gets the unvarnished
truth as the speaker sees it.
For days - at White House
conferences and in the Sen
ate-Senator Russell has been
dishing it out with the bark

1t was Mr.. Russell who told
the President he should ex-
plain his Middle East policy
to the country. The Russell
description of senator's unsuc-
cessful efforts to pin down
Secretary of State Dulles on
his Middle East planS-"wres-
ting with a moonbeam in a

capitol.

preparations. But it should not
be forgotten that an excep-
tionally acute political INTEL
ligence earned this status.
Those affected by his actions
would do we'll to explore his
apparent reasons.
A strong favor Of local self
interest plainly attaches to the
situation. When Senator
George was succeeded by
sharp, young Herman Tai
madge, it was obvious that

wasn't reported in the press
generally. was that the De-
partment of Justice had re-
sorted to a stratagem by seek
ing to make the United
States" a party to the suit.
notwithstanding to a law of
Congress governing contempt
cases-eliminates trial by jury.
Some critics not long ago
pointed to the case of John l..
Lewis as a precedent because
he was fined once for con-
tempt by a Judge and was not
given a jury trial. But those
same critics failed to notice
that the United States itself
was a party to the suit. This
was because the Government.
acting in accordance with a
wartime statute. had seized
the coal mines and hence any
action taken by a union or its
leaders to defy a court order
was a defiance Of the United
States Government itself.
There is no such parallel
here. The school board off,
Gals at Clinton, Tenn, were
VIII ol e-heartedly complying
with the desegregation order
of the Federal court when
they found certain persons in
the town were organizing a
movement" to discourage at
tendance at an integrated
school. Hence these school
officials asked the court to en-
join anyone attempting to
interfere" with the school
boards operations. But a local
school board is not a part Of
the Government of the United
States and it is difficult to
imagine any Federal court
judge conserving to the sub
stitution of the United
States" for a local school
board.
Even, however, If this
strange petition does not win
the approval Of the court. the
amazing thing is that anyone
in the Department Of Justice
would try such a trick Of cir
convention in the very week
when prominent lawyers from
various States we're warning
Congress that to pass the
civil rights" legislation now
being proposed would lead to
grave abuses Of power.

CONSTANTINE BROWN
Reds Supply Borgoin-Price Arms
To Promote Turmoil in Middle East

Strong pressures were
brought on Senators to speed
up acceptance Of the joint re-
solution offered last January
by President Eisenhower to
help Middle Eastern nations
resist international COM
munism.
Individual Senators received
either phone calls or personal
visits from White House aides,
urging them not to rock the
ship of state by voting for the
Russell and Byrd amendments
which would deny the so-called
blank check to the President
for 5000 million.
The argument was that if
the resolution were watered
down. the Middle Eastern
people would feel that the
President does not have the
confidence of the Senate and
that repercussions would be
far-reaching.
This. it is indicated. might
result in the USSR establish
ing firm beachheads all over
North Africa and the Arab
world.
When they speak of the
Arab peoples. our policy
makers realize that they are
actually referring only to the
monarchS or the so-called
presidents who have absolute
powers. They have in mind
King Saud Of Saudi Arabia,
King Hussein of Jordan, Pres
ident Nasser of Egypt and
President Kuwatly of Syria.
Their parliaments except in
Saudi Arabia where there is
no such institution have been
elected with the same freedom
of ballot as in the USSR,
Communist China or the So
Wet satellites in Europe.
This does not mean that
they are Communist. 1t means
only that the peoples" whose
welfare we have so strongly at
heart have nothing to say
about the conduct of domestic
or international affairs.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-03-04
Communist Aims in Arab World

that newly created state as an
alien body grated into the
Arab world. They are insistent
that it must be removed at any
price.
The Soviets once supported
the creation of Israel with a
population largely drafted
from Jewish refugees from all
parts of central, southern and
eastern Europe.
But when they discovered
that by siding with the Arabs
and encouraging them to do
away with the new state they
could get toehold in an area
which they had tried unsuc-
ceSsfully to enter for more
than $50 years they changed
their policies.
When the administration
asks for hundreds of millions
of dollars for the general area
of the Middle East" its pur-
pose is to improve the stand
ard of living Of those peoples.
For only in this manner, argue
our policy makers, can we
establish peace and prosperity
throughout the world. But
when the leaders in the Krem-
lin make secret treaties with
their fellow dictators in Egypt
or Syria, their objective is to
prod them into further agrees
Sions.
The naturalization of the
Suez Canal Co. was the BRAIN
child of former Soviet Foreign
Minister Shepilov who was
strongly backed by Messrs.
Nehru, Krishna Menon and
Tito who took turns in con-
vincing Nasser that he need
not be afraid of the conse-
QuenceS.
We are striving to bring
about peace in a world in
which the Communists are
pressing with all their skill
and wiles to keep it in con-
tinuous turmoil. We believe
that democracy and money
speak loudly. The Russians and
their affiliates are convinced
that hatred and arms speak
louder and more effectively.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-03-04

The administration reco-
gnizes that insofar as the
southern tier Of the Middle
East is concerned. it must
placate the rulers who may be
induced to offer their tenn
porary friendship to the high
est bidder.
The question is whether we
can compete with the men in
the Kremlin in that auction.
We have certainly the capacity
to snow them under with
hundreds of millions of dol
lars in cash or substance.
We not only rolled out the
red carpet for King Saud when
he visited Washington. but
when he left he had our
pledges amounting to more
than 5000 millions. He prom
ised to sell" the Eisenhower
doctrine to his fellow absolute
monarchs at the Cairo Sum-
nit" conference of Arab
leaders. He very likely tried,
but all the reports received in
Washington so far indicate
that he failed.
The men in the Kremlin do
not lavish gold on those whom
they want to trap. They pro-
vide military hardware at
bargain prices as they did in
Egypt. and there is nothing
the Arabs love more than
arms.
We are striving to maintain
peace. Hence we are very
careful about giving military
assistance. The Russians are
trying to promote strife and
wars. Hence they will give
arms to all in potential danger
areas. And there are few Sec
tions of the world these days
which cannot be described as
such.
The Kremlin has skillfully
exploited the southern tier of
Middle Eastern countries be-
cause neither cash nor good
will can possibly efface the de-
termination of the Arabs to
destroy Israel. They consider
