with "the most modern and de-

NATO summit council decided
that ~we have on alternative

look to our defenses.
The tone Of the whole COM

President Eisenhower set for
himself in the conference.
The third level was a sur
prise to the Americans. The
conference decided to talk a
good bit about the Bulganin
letters and Polish proposals for
a deatomized area in Central
Europe. Europeans wanted
NATO to examine these pro-
posals. The United States
would rather have ignored
them here.
Did the delegates do a good

agree that If this had been a

fine job.

No New Spirit Seen
There is an uncomfortable
feeling among foreign observers
here that they didn't.
There is no detachable new

is agreed also that no one will

Another New Nation

The British Commonwealth, that
unique family Of nations, took on an
other member last week end with the
proclaimed independence Of the Fedora
ton Of Malaga. Under European infiu-
ence for more than four centuries and
under British control for most of the
time since 1855, the new nation Is born
In an atmosphere of political and eco
nomic uncertainty. It's population is
q mixture Of native Malayans, Chinese,
Indians and Pakistanis, plus smaller
minority groups. Its large segment of
Chinese are divided in loyalties between
Nationalist and Communist China, and
there are political and religious differ
ences between virtually all factions.
Communist efforts to take over the PEN
insula have been unceasing for the past
decade and, by agreement, British troops
will remain to defend the new fedora
ton against Communist guerrilla forces.
Economically, the peninsula states are
rich In mineral resources and natural
rubber production amounts to about
one-third Of the world supply. This
economy, however, Is one that requires
investment and development.
Under the new Malayan constitu-
ton, there viii be an elected monarch"
chosen every five years from among
the rulers Of the original nine states. A
legislative body will consist Of a Senate
designated mostly by appointment
and House Of Representatives popu-
larry elected. The individual states will
retain considerable autonomy. Singa-
pore, the British Crown Colony at the
tip Of the peninsula, will remain in that
status for the time being but will have
close economic and communications ties
with the new federation.
In taking on its new status, Malaga
has passed significant milestone even
though its immediate course is an UNI
certain one.

Noxious Visitor

Largely through the efforts Of Sur
geon General Leroy Burney and the
Public Health Service, the Asian flu
virus, which is expected to drop in on
us sometime this fall or winter, has re-
ceived more advance publicity than the
circus or any Of the most distinguished
guests ever greeted in our Capital City
or the Nation at large.
Unhappily, however, few things
could be more unwelcome than this
creatures anticipated visit. Indeed, it
is so persona non grata that our scien-
lists, with commendable alertness, have
developed special vaccine to immunize
us to 1t. But the vaccine, again I'M
happily, probably viii not be available
IN suh1cient quantity, at the right time,
to head on q full-scale American cpl
demic of Asian fiu. Accordingly, judg-
ing from what the thing has already
done in the Far East and in countries
like Argentina, we must reckon with the
probability that between IS and 20 per
cent Of us-as many as "a million men,
women and children from coast to coast
will be incapacitated by the virus in
the weeks and months Immediately
ahead.
UNDERSTANDABLE enough, in issuing
their warnings Of this prospect, DR..
Burney and the PHS have made Asian
flu a piece Of news that is likely to
command prominent headlines for some
time to come. Moreover, because of its
basic unpleaSantneSs, 1t is news Of a
sort that has already begun to cause
nervousness among certain segmentS Of
the public. And 1t has even led to sug-
gestions-just as In the case of the
early days Of the Salk antipolio vaccine
that the Federal Government should
take special action of one vague kind
or another to speed up production of
the irnmunizing material and establish
alIocating controls aimed at preventing
black-market operations.
AS with the Salk vaccine, however,
It seems safe to predict that the over
whelming majority Of the American
people will take a common-sense view
Of the situation and refuse to be pam
licked into foolish, self-defeating meas
ures After all, unless 1t acquires a
marked degree Of additional virulence
as it moves into and through our coun-
try, the Asian fiu virus is not going to
be even remotely as vicious as the one
that wrought havoc in the 1918-19
pandemic. OF course, If 1t hits us, as
DR.. Burney believes 1t will, 1t will make
great numbers Of US feel miserable for
several days with fever, sore throat and
aching muscles, but 1t win almost GER

rate approaching zero.

The Majority Leader

Some Of the Washington common
tators are adjoining Lyndon Johnson of
Texas. the Senate's majority leader, with
such laurel wreaths as these: Man of
the Year. New spokesman for the DEM
ocratic Party. Potential candidate for
President in 1860. The man most re-
sponsible for rescue Of two of the adj
ministration's most important foreign
programs. The man most responsible
for congressional passage Of the first
civil rights legislation in more than 80
years.
Some may dispute the accuracy of
such encomiums. None can argue, how
ever, that any member of the Senate is
more deserving of the rest that the ma
jority leader is seeking on his Texas
ranch this autumn. For while there are
many Woodworking Senators, none Of
them covers the amount of ground that
the majority leader covers in a day;
none displays the degree Of apparently
inexhaustible energy that drives the sem
Tor Senator from Texas. Whatever his
political ambitions may be, they are
not the force which drives him. He
works hard because he enjoys It, One
gets the impression that no matter what
the future may hold, Senator Johnson
right now would rather be Senate ma
jority leader than anything else in the
world.
Senator Johnson is q politician. He
is also political realist. There were
some. who accused him of helping to
save Joe Martins face" in gaining
acceptance Of the House jury trial COM
promise in the civil rights bill. The
majority leader would be more apt to
regard his efforts in that direction as
saving his own skin, not Mr. Martins
face. To ride the two horses represented
in such utterly divergent factions as
those claiming allegiance to the Demo-
cratic Party, and to do it successfully
through such show as civil rights, was
q triumph Of leadership as spectacular
as failure In the same circumstances
would have been. Any acceptable COM
promise was the difference between that
success and failure.
Senator Johnson's most effective
traits Of leadership are based on per-
sonality, hard work, practical view Of
what means may justify the end, mi
mute understanding of the motives which
move his colleagues and happy faculty
of being able to utilize them without
exploding the highly infiammable mix
ture. Leadership Of Senate majority
is not among the usual remedies pre-
scribed for victims Of heart attack. In
this case, it seems to have been good
medicine.
