NUxHALL ALL GOOFED up
Race Tightens as Bull
Keeps Dodger Jinx

Milwaukee's Bob Bull still has
the Dodgers on a string. Gin
cinnati's Joe Nuxhall still is "all
goofed up"-and the National
League pennant race is still
tight, with only a three -game
spread covering the first five
teams.
Only two games we're sched-
uled in the National League
last night and Bull, who beat
the Dodgers eight times last
year. wrapped them up for a
second time this season, 81,
with a somewhat anxious four
hitter. This left Brooklyn and
the Braves in a tie for third
place, ~ games behind first
place Cincinnati.
Pittsburgh and Vern Law took
care of the Redlegs. with Law
also spinning a four-hitter that
beat Cincinnati, So. 1t was the
first Pirate success against the
Redlegs in is games and left

KANSAS CITY. June H.
Pete Runnels. batting nearly 100
points below his club pacing .3lC
average of last season and show
ing no signs of shaking his pro-
longed slump, will be benched in
the Senators three-game series
with the Athletics starting to-
night.
THE poor guy is fretting SC
much about his hitting that
think it's best to give him a
rest" Manager Cookie Lavagetto
says.
The only thing for Pete to dc
now is to forget his average. take
the attitude that the season is
starting all over for him when
he gets into the lineup again
and go from there.
IF he continues to worry
he'll stay in a slump" Cookie
continued. Il hear him say on
the bench. I'm gonna get 4-for-4
today. and things like that. He s
too concerned about that low
average. He can't get his mind
of it and adjust to the fact that
il he does we'll from here on in
he'll still be extremely valuable
to us.
Must Forget Average
ITS nice to think about get
ting 4-for-4. but it doesn't hap
pen very often. Pete can help
tremendously by hitting $50 tC
300 for the rest of the year
He's got to accept the fact that
this isn't going to be an out
standing season for him, shake
of the past and concentrate or
the present.
Cookie will send Roy Sievers
to first base and try Faye
Throneberry in leftfield while
Runnels decorateS the dugout.
I'VE need Sievers' bat in oul
lineup" Lavagetto said. with
his arm hurting a little he'll be
better of playing first base thar
in making the throws from the
outfleld. so I'll use him at first
until his arm RECEIVERS.
Runnels has tried everything
in an effort to hit. but nothing
has worked. He Skidded to .2l1
when he went hitless in q
ble-header with the Indian:
Sunday and is about ready fol-
a straitjacket.
Luck has played a big part ir
Pete's debated average. He ha.
smacked many a drive on the
nose this season. but right al
somebody.
Il think I've hit 20 or IS line
drives that have been caught.
Pete said. 1T seems like every
time I look up somebody is turn
ing handsprings to take a hit
away from me.

Confusion in the u. N.

Council where in the past the
Soviet veto has barred the way
to enforcement action except
in the case Of Korea when the
representative Of the Moscow
government happened to be
absent from the all-ifnportant
m eeting of the Security
Council.
Would the Soviet govern
ment or any other government
today veto a resolution which
calls merely for the pro-
nouncement by the Security
Council of an intention to de-
wise a program of provisional
measures" that will be pre-
sented by the Council to both
parties in the Israeli Egypt dis
pute? Certainly the with
drawal of Israeli troops could
be more readily accomplished
now if the Security Council
under Article 40 repeats the
words of the Charter that
such provisional measures
shall be without prejudice to
the rights. claims or positions
OF the parties concerned"
This is an orderly procedure
designed to remove fear and to
assure justice. 1t is a first
step and an immediate one
whereas sanctions" Is a last
step to be taken only after all
the other methods of settle
ment stipulated in the Charter
itself have been exhausted.
Discussion of sanctions" is
therefore, at best premature
especially since Article 80 of
the Charter prescribes that the
Security Council shall first call
upon the parties to settle their
disputes by negotiation. in
quiry. mediation, Cancellation,
arbitration. judicial settle
ment, resort to regional ar
rangements or other peaceful
means of their own choice"
The world is waiting for the
U. N. to function as its Charter
requires and in that way fear
can be removed and faith in
the effectiveness of the U. N.
can be restored.

How Not to Present a Policy

Democrats are doing most of

Among those present at Sum-

will be Herter's main task to

II Herter wants to talk
turkey with them he would
have to say something like
this: Your best chance is to
work with me and l win work
with you. The President does
not want to be his own Secre-

to conduct policy through the
United Nations. You can't

Nation Loses Stature as World Power;
Macmillan Trying to Solve Bio Mess

Britain, under the harassed
and burdened government of
the new Prime Minister, Har-
old Macmillan, has been TAX
ing a cold and hard look at
the facts of life recently. The
view has not been cheerful.
When the Supreme Com
mander in Europe. Gen. Lau-
ris Norstad. suggested to the
British that these days are
too perilous to permit OF a
reduction in Britain's con-
tribution to NATO forces, he
was speaking as a military
leader responsible for the de-
Tense of Western Europe
against the ever present
threat Of Communist agrees
sion.
But his overtures to the
British brought a sharp re-
buff from Mr.. Macmillan, who
bluntly reminded the Amer
lean Air Force general that
the decisions for British mil
itary expenditures would be
made by the British Cabinet,
responsible to Parliament, and
in terms Of the general sit
uation affecting the British
nation itself.
The Macmillan rejoinder to
Gen. NorStad was no product
of annoyance at any sug-
gested interference with Brit
ish domestic politics. The
simple fact is that the Mac
milan government must. in
dire necessity, face up to real
ities-and Immediately.
Since the end of World War
II, Britain has been trying to
be a number Of impossible
things at once. Like the man
carrying water on both shoul-
ders, the task has been i'm
possible.
Now the responsible British
statesmen have, at long last.
realized their predicament.
There seems to be ample evi-
dence that they will accept it
for what it is. face up to it,
and do the best they can
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-02-25

for what they can get if only
they can get it quickly.
The whole course of the
Middle East doctrine is an OBJ
ject lesson in how not to pre-
sent and pursue a major
foreign policy project. 1t be-
gan with a news leak and is
ending with a near-filibuster.
The President called Congress
into special session to hear 1t
because he said it was so ur-
gent. Yet. when it ran into
real difficulty. he was golf
ing and quail-shooting in the
South.
This mismanagement served
to open the door on an even
more perilous situation. The
recent attitude Of Senators
represents a crisis of conf
dence between the Senate
and the Secretary of State
which comes close to affecting
the President himself.
AS the Senators see it. the
President does not inform
himself personally and COM
pletely, but relies solely upon
Dulles. They have made their
own views very plain but find
them disregarded. Senators
do not attribute TO the Pres

within the limits of their
competence and resources.
Britain is no longer a major
world power. Despite all the
traditions, the glorious history
and the record of conquest
and colonial dominion, the
British Empire is gone. not
only in name but in fact.
The several nations of the
British Commonwealth are
independent. They do as they
please. If London's foreign
policies displease them, they
disavow them and openly op-
pose them. If London's eco
nomic or political or social
policies displease them, they
ignore them.
The London government,
since the advent of the Labor
Party at the end of World
War II, has been attempting
to operate the worlds most
elaborate welfare state. Sc
curity and social giveaways,
all sorts of them, have been
supposed to provide every
British subject with a cradle
to-the-grave security against
the ordinary hazards of life.
But the resources of the inn
poverished island and the dis
integrated old empire Just will
Z not stretch to cover the gov
ernment's beneficence, and at
the same time also cover
Britai1's necessary military
expenditures and rejuvenate
her shattered economic sys-
TEN.
The departed Prime Minis
ter. Sir Anthony Eden, knew
all these facts but chose to
close his eyes to their reality.
In the disastrous attack on
Egypt over the Suez Canal
crisis, Sir Anthony seemed to
be grasping almost ludicrously
at the traditions of the past.
There were days, not so
many years ago, when the
slightest show of spirit on the
part Of a Middle Eastern po-
tentate would bring a squad

problems. from a human stand
point, have to do with:
!. The attainment Of high
speed. and the necessity OF pene-
trating the earth's atmosphere
at high speeds-and at resulting
high temperatures. How to cool
the craft without prohibitive
weight or loss Of power is "a
relatively serious problem. Also
involved is the problem Of
weightlessness. although he said
the majority Of persons who
have experienced this in labora-
tory experiments and In high al
titude flights have enjoyed the
strange situation including ac-
celeration between the weight

2. The loss Of the life sustain
ing qualities OF the atmosphere.
3. Loss Of the protective filtra-
ton OF the earth's atmosphere.
This would mean exposure to
ultraviolet rays, infrared rays,
ozone, cosmic rays and meteor
ties.
4. Protection from the heat or
radiation Of the space ships pro-
pellant.

Mismonogement Laid to Administration
In Handling of Bid to Senate on Doctrine

In his unusual Sunday con-
ference with Senate leaders,
Secretary of State Dulles put
pressure on them to enact the
Eisenhower Middle East doc
trine without further delay.
The Senate has given almost
the effect of f1libustering on
this issue. In part this is be-
cause the Washington's Birth
day holiday fell on Friday.
Everyone seemed to be taking
a really long week end and no
Senator cared to waste his
rhetorical pearls on empty gall
leries.
What Dulles seems to fear
is that the delay represents a
club held over him until the
Senate satisfies itself he will
not support sanctions against
Israel in the United Nations.
Senators do not admit this,
but are still saying the doc
trine will be approved in its
present altered and greatly
weakened form.
The President and Dulles
meekly took a beating in the
argument over substance. APP
parently they will settle now

Move for Sanctions Called Premature,
Ignoring Steps Laid Down in Charter

Council acts on their behalf"
No other body-neither the
General Assembly nor any
U. N. committee-has such
sweeping power and response
bility.
The charter itself recognized
that fear of attack might be
basic in bringing about the
use Of force to meet a threat.
So the Charter says that all
members shall refrain in their
international relations from
the threat or use of force
against the territorial integrity
or political independence Of
any member state"
If this is not needed. the
Charter in Article 40 declares:
I'm order to prevent an aggra-
walton Of the situation. the
Security Council may, before
making the recommendations
or deciding upon the measures
provided for in Article Al, call
upon the parties concerned to
comply with such provisional
measures as it deems necessary
or desirable. Such provisional
measures shall be without
prejudice to the rights. claims
or position Of the parties con-
cerned. The Security Council
shall duly take account Of
failure to comply with such
measures"
Now Article Al enumerates
the possible "sanctions"-eco-
nomic and military. But, so far
as the United Nations is con-
cerned. these can be imposed
only by the Security Council.
Individual members can, if the
Security Council fails to act,
impose sanctions" collective
~, but this is not a United
Nations action and, under in
ternational law, the nation
against which the sanctions"
are imposed can regard such
sanctions" as an unfriendly
act or even an act of war.

ron Of British cruisers over
night. Those days are long
gone, but Sir Anthony and his
supporters Of the Tory right
wing were loath to believe II.
Now Mr.. Macmillan, a SEN
sible, hard-headed business
man, has inherited the mess.
BY all the signs to date, he is
accepting it. He fully knows
that British pretense to world
power is a shallow mockery.
He knows that Britain can no
longer guarantee the stability
Of the so-called Sterling Area
in world finance and COM
merce.
He knows that Britain, with
its slender resources, cannot
continue to take care of every
mans quest for a life of Sc
curity. He also knows that his
country cannot pour out its
resources for defense unless
many other expenditures are
eliminated or curtailed.
In the circumstances, the
British course can be only one:
To let the United States as
sumo an even greater share Of
the burden for the defense Of
the free. world. Britain, al
ready ousted from the Mid
east. has now accepted the fact
Of the custer.
Now the men of Whitehall
are ready to abandon the no.
ton Of empire, let Uncle Sam
take over the task of Big
Brother. and devote their en-
ergies to the economic rehabil-
itation Of their little island.
There is really and literally
nothing else they can do.

Limit on First Space Hops
Urged by Medical Expert

| SAN DIEGO. Calf, Feb. rs (P)
An Air Force expert on space
medicine has recommended that
the first flights Of a manned
space ship be restricted--as a
humane measure--to an altitude
of 200 miles.
Col. Paul A. Campbell OF the

search at Washington. D. c.,
said that after the problems
that crop up in such a round
trip flight have been solved, the
next step could be to emulate an
earth satellite.

trips around the earth and re-
turn" Col. Campbell said.
When space ship designers.
engineers and medical officers
have worked out the kinks that
come with orbits around the
earth, he said. they could turn
