Mr.. Alcorn was selected during q

Of reluctant good will pervaded.
Before the meeting, there had been
substantial support for Ray c. Bliss
Of Ohio. who has held to the con-
sentative Taft wing. But inside.
there was little disposition to make
an issue Of it, although there were
frequent wistful references to "fun-
damental Republicanism" and an
easily discernible nostalgia for the
days Of yore among the Old Guard
adherents.
The new chairman said that
among the first tasks Of the COM
mittee would be thorough organiza-
ton Of the party "at every level"
He would not, he said, concede any
State to the Democratic. not even
In the South. He was expected to

TheEconomy::
hGoodHe

There ore grounds for confidence
thot the Nations ever-oIl prosperity will
be extended into the months oheed. -.
However, uncertainties and problems ore
olwoy present in the economic situation
and require eorsful attention"
Thus did President Eisenhower
set q theme Of cautious optimism
In the 1857 Economic Report Of the
President he sent to Congress last
week. He was saying, In effect: "All
Is well-but let's be careful"
The 200-page analysis Of the eco
nomic state Of the Union during
1856 laid out the pattern of an
expanding economy which had
reached heights undreamed Of Q
mere decade ago. Some Of the &C
complishmentS listed were:
. A gross national product Of $4l2
billion, an increase Of $21.5 billion
over the previous year.
. An average Of IS million persons
employed. up 1.8 million over 1855.
. Total income OF persons after
taxes Of $286.6 billion, an increase
Of SIS billion since 1855.
Most important among the
sources of this continued strength,
Mr.. Eisenhower said, was the con-
tinued expansion In OUTLAWS for new
productive facilities" Capital out
lays, he reported, were at the end
Of the year 20 per cent above the
level at the end Of 1855. Economists
consider this a sign of industry's
confidence in the future, a conf
dence Mr.. Eisenhower expressed
with note Of warning to be sure
In both his economic report and his
state-of-the- Union message earlier
this month.
There are number Of reasons
for this confidence, some of them
outlined in the Presidents report,
some Of them omitted.

troop withdrawal from territory
formerly held by Egypt createdsa
tense atmosphere in the halls Of
the U. N. last week. And. after
Secretary General Dag Hammar-
skiold made his report to the Cen
eral Assembly on the problem,
things looked like they might get
worse before getting better.
Mr.. Harnmarskjold's report was
considered to be stiff rebuff to
Tel Aviv. The Secretary General
insisted on an unconditional with
drawal from GAIA and Aqaha and
said that the U. N. Emergency
Force would establish itself in the
latter area ain the same way ~
in other parts of Sinai"
The gloomy Israelis, who appear
to have few friends in the world
organization on this question, were
given at least some assurances BY
Mr.. Hammarskjold. He called for
compliance with the armistice Of
1949, the provisions Of which would
bar Egypt and Israel from station
ing only defensive forces along the
line of demarcation. In addition,
he noted that Cairo no longer could
properly invoke belligerent rights
and reimpose the blockade Of Elath.
the Israeli port on the Gulf Of
AQaba.
Israeli sources quickly branded
the Hammarskjold report as url-
clear and legalistic. They said that
going back to the 1919 armistice,
which never worked. was no solu-
ton. The Egyptian reaction was
summed up by a spokesman who
said that it was fundamentally .

Tomorrow the dispute comes UP
for debate in the General Assembly.
The President this week was
going to have a chance personally
to convince King Saud of Saudi
Arabia on the new policy. The King
was due to visit Washington on
Wednesday. The White House UNI
derscored the Importance it is at
taching to the visit from this rela.
lively minor monarch when it an.
nounced that Mr.. Eisenhower would
break his own precedent and motor
out to National Airport to greet the
King. Neither Sir Anthony Eden
nor Prime Minister Nehru were so
honored.
The Soviet threat of atomic
retaliation, which was not as direct
or as ominous as the one directed
at the French, British and Israelis
over the invasion of Egypt. came
in the wake of Mr.. Eisenhower's
mention in his budget message to
Congress that American atomic
military units would be based
abroad.
The official State Department
view was that there was nothing to
be excited about, the Russians were
engaging in propaganda and futile
attempts at intimidating smaller
nations. Moreover. American off,
Gals pointed out that our allies have
always been aware that any war
involving the exchange Of atomic
blows between the United States
and USSR would be a general one
and that they would inevitably be
involved whether they were allied
to us or not.

Spy Roundup
In New York

In the first big spy roundup since
Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were
arrested in 1850. agents Of the
Federal Bureau Of Investigation
early Friday seized two men and q
woman in New York on charges Of
collecting defense secrets to send
to Russia.
The three, two naturalized citi-
zens and one whose citizenship is
pending. were held in 100000 bail
each after FBI agents told United
States commissioner that two Of
them, Mr.. and Mrs. Jack Soble Of
New York. were preparing to leave
the country.
Soble, who became a citizen
after coming here from Lthuania,
was said to be chief Of the ring,
having succeeded Vassili zubilin,
former Third Secretary Of the Soviet
Embassy here who left the country
in 1914 after being tagged by the
FBI as spy. Mrs. Soble, the
mother Of q 17-year-old boy, is a
Russian born rlaturalized American.
The third figure. Jacob Albam.
Lithuanian, is a foreman at a New
York spice company.
The arrests came at the end Of
a trail stretching back into the
1940s when the FBI first began
watching Zubilin, and later put
under surveillance the three ar
rested at dawn Friday.
If convicted, they face a total of
$4,000 in fines each, is years in

Dulles at the Front

Secretary Of State Dulles went
back to Capitol Fill Thursday to
defend the Presidents plan to offer
the protection of Americas armed
forces and economic aid from
kitty Of 5000 million to any nation
threatened by Communist agrees
sion in the Middle East.
He found the going heavy when
Senator Fulbright. along with DEM
ocratic Senators Humphrey Of Min
nesota and Morse Of Oregon de-
manded more facts on what they
called q vague foreign policy ex-
cursion.
At that point it became clear
that the administration In the Pres
ident's second term was not going
to have the comparatively smooth
sailing 1t enjoyed when its good
friend, Senator George Of Georgia,
was the dominant Democratic voice
in Congress on foreign policy.
Senator Green of Rhode Island
has succeeded the retired Senator
George as chairman Of the powerful
Foreign Relations Committee and he
was no autocrat of the hearing table.
Whereas Senator George had kept
q tight control over the questioning
and restrained committee members,
Democratic and Republican alike,
from rocking the boat on Eisen-
hower-Dulles policy, Charm n
Green exercised less stringent
control.
Senator Fulbright, who used to
complain privately about Senator
Georges conduct of committee hear
ings, felt no restraint last Thurs
day when he directly challenged
Mr.. Dulles competence and good
faith. He brought a flush of anger
to the Secretary's face when he
charged that mot since the turn Of
the century have our relations with
the other peoples Of the free world
been so strained-so unsatisfactory"

Depression Measures

What would be done should q
sudden depression shake the Nation
from the comforts to which it has
for so long been accustomed? Mr..
Eisenhower was not specific.
At his press conference Wednes-
day. his first in almost two months,
the President said that In the event
Of q depression he would do every
thing that was constitutional and
the Federal Government could do"
He said that moderate means"
would be applied In advance should
such q depression be preceded by
any visible warnings. The Consti-
tuition he said. would provide the
only limitation.
This, presumably, would include
deficit spending. Secretary George
M. Humphrey said q few days ago
that he would be inclined to resign
If such an antidote to depression
be taken. Mr.. Eisenhower tried
valiantly not to appear that he was
taking issue with his top fiscal adj
wiser. but 1t was clear to reporters
that the two men were not in COM
plete agreement In several areas.
Mr.. Humphrey, for instance, had
predicted q depression that will
curl your hair" if the Government
doesn't cut back on its spending.
The President, asked about the
hair-curling statement. said that
he had talked with Mr.. Hum
phrey since that remark and that
reporters could be assured that Mr..
Humphrey was not talking about
the immediate future.
For his part, Mr.. Humphrey, who
had said previously that there were
"a lot Of places" where the budget
could be cut. appeared before the
House Appropriations Committee
and in four hours of testimony did
not offer any specific suggestion as
to where cuts were possible.
There were precautionary meas
ures. the President said in his eco
nomic report. by which both busi-
ness and labor could help keep the
economy in smooth waters. BUSH
ness, he said, ought to do all posi-
BILE to keep prices down, and labor
in turn ought not to press for
higher wages unless its demands
were matched by increased produc-
tivity.
He ruled out credit curbs because.
he said, moderate restraint would
be of little assistance, and heavy
restraints would bear with undue
severity" on the economy and on
the consumer. an innocent by
stander.
AS II to underscore the Presidents
concern over infiationary pressures,
the Bureau Of Labor Statistics on
/, Friday reported that for the sixth
time in seven months the con-
sumner price index had set another
record. In mid December the index
stood at 118, with 100 representing
the average prices In 1947-49. This
was a rise Of Q per cent for the
month and 80 per cent for the
year. The Bureau said the end is
not In sight.
