Congress will approve some

doctrine in the Middle East,

written before final passage,
Senator John J. Sparkman of

dressed a luncheon meeting of
the Woman's National Demo-

Il think everyone is SYM
pathetic to the general objec-
tives of the program. Ger
tairly we do not want to see
the Middle East taken over
by the Communists"
Not New
The program is essentially
the old "containment policy"
Of the Democrats. he sug-
gested. although there was a
day when containment was a
terrible Democratic Acheson

Congressman of just what the
administration has in mind, he
said.
Referring to the Presidents
request for authority to use
economic assistance money al

any strings attached" the
Senator asked:
Just what is it that is pro-
posed to be done In an eco

yesterday morning, but did not
get a satisfactory answer.
Regarding the Presidents
request for authority to use
troops if necessary to repel
Communist invasion, he de-
clared:
"A great many people Won
der if it is wise to give the
President a virtual military
blank check in advance.
II the time has come when
Congress must pass such power
to the President or the Ma
tional Security Council, despite
the fact that the Constitution
allots to Congress the power
to declare war. then probably
the change should be made
by amending the Constitution,
he suggested.
One of the great questions
raised by the proposed doctrine
is its unilaJeral nature. he con-
tinued.
1--WE hide behind the United
Nations when that suits our
needs, and then operate or our
own, without consulting any
one. when that seems prefer
able," he sale.

Another complaint he had
about the progressed declara-
ton. the Albanian said, was
that it said nothing about the

Case Of Timing
BY JACK JONAS

In his young, wild, carefree
days, this fellow was some
thing of a terror.
One of the things he took
great delight in doing Was
tripping a traffic light to bring
the red signal against the flow
of traffic on one of Washing
tons buster streets.
He was caught at it, severely
reprimanded, and gave up his
life of crime.
Now that he is more aged,
and thinks more often of his
pipe and slippers than of join
ing the boys after work, he
has acquired a thorough re-
spect tor the authority of laws
meant to protect all. For ex-
ample, he wouldn't think Of
letting anyone in his family
park on the wrcng side of the
street in his neighborhood.
But traffic lights still fasci-
nate him. He has worked out
a more sedate pasttime in
their connection. He has per-
fected the fast getaway. g
He has made a study of the
traffic signals along his route
to the Office.
Each red signal" he says,
"iS on a set number of sec
ends. BY counting-l0 seconds,
Is seconds, and so OIL can
start through az the exact
rloment it switches to green
II don't even have to watch
the light any more. All that's
needed is to watci. when it
changes to red, and begin
