Style and the Economy

TnlS is period Wnen nigh SCyle
is being put to an important test on the
American scene For the automobile
industry is in high gear now in intro
ducing its 1858 models to what it hopes
will be an appreciative and responsive
public. And in an industry that has
is expected to weigh more heavily than
the so-called styling of the latest prod
ucts. Most are longer, wider, lower and
more powerful than their predecessor
models. Front grilles are fancier and
rear decks more elaborate. Emphasis
continues on improved safety devices,
chassis design to give greater comfort
and engineering advances throughout
Prices are up-from a few dollars on
some models to few hundred dollars
on others.
The test will come, of course, in how
many cars the public will buy And the
Importance of this will be twofold. In
the first instance, the size and vitality
of the market will be important to the
automobile industry itself. Ford and
General Motors continue their fight for
first place-in some lines, If not in all.
Chrysler, making a comeback in recent
years in third place, hopes to improve
its showing Studebaker-Packard and
American Motors, concentrating largely
on smaller cars, are making strong bids
to pick up greater percentage Of total
sales. And moving up. even while rep
resenting only small share of the total,
is the increasing variety of foreign cars
some of them marketed through the
American manufacturers.
But in the second instance, the i'm
portance of this testing of consumer
response bears upon the entire American
economy. Many business analysts are
waiting for initial resultS-before decid-
ing whether the short-term economic
trend is going to be up or down. The
production Of automobiles involves
wide range Of collateral industrial &C
tivity-in steel, in rubber, in glass, to
mention some Of the major ones. Auto
mobile sales additionally provide re-
liable clue to the current psychology of
the buying public. If sales are good, it
generally means prosperity at the mo-
ment or confidence in the future-or
both. A slow market is subject to the
opposite Interpretation in more or less
direct relation to the sales figures.
Currently, industry spokesman tend to
the opinion that hard" selling will be
needed, but that final figures will be
high. If they are correct, 1t is at least
hopeful omen for the national
economy in the near future.

assumption. Egypt is predominantly .
Moslem country-with q minority o.
Christians. Colonel Nasser himself Is
a devout follower of the Moslem religion.
There is a basic and complete incom-
patibility between the religion Of Islam,
as well as the religion of Christianity,
and the godlessness Of communism. 1t
may suit Colonel Nasser's immediate
purposes to orient his governments for
eign policy toward friendly association
with the Soviet Union. But it is not
likely to please Egypt, or to serve
Colonel NasSer, to allow communism to
flourish in that country-or even in any
other part of the neighboring Middle
East.
There has been much speculation
about President NasSer's grand design"
He has been accused Of being pawn"
of Moscow. He has been charged with
ambition to become the political dictator
of a pan-Arab world. Actually, If he
has grand design" its details are not
so easily discernible. It may, as he says,
be directed only at securing the welfare
of his own country and maintaining
barrier against communism-enforced
through law and the courts.

Abotinq q Crisis

For the time being at least, nothing
more will be said in the United Nations
General Assembly about the baffiing
Syrian Turkish "crisis," If 1t may be
called that.
The debate has been ended, and
tension eaSed by strange sort of COM
promise. Syria, for its part, has dropped
its demand for U. N. inquiry into its
charges (loudly and threatfully sup
ported by the Kremlin) accusing Turkey
and the United States of plotting to
launch a war of aggression against 1t.
In return, Norway and six other nations
have withdrawn rival proposal to have
Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold
inject himself into the situation in
behalf of the Assembly.
AS result of this mutual agree
ment, there is no present prospect Of
thorough investigation of what has been
going >on, and so-regrettably-the
world must remain in the dark as to the
truth behind the hullabaloo. However,
although we think it would have been
preferable to have had full-Scale and
truly impartial inquiry, there is some
satisfaction to be drawn from the fact
that Syria's action has all the earmarks
of tacit admission that neither Damas
Gus nor Moscow has ever had evidence
to support their charges Of Turkish
American war plot.
There is thus good reason to believe
that those charges-vociferou only a
short time ago, but now altogether
muted-were fabricated as part of a
deliberate propaganda campaign to
create an artificial war scare and inten-
Sify tension in the Middle East. Pre-
sumably, this has been meant to advance
Soviet influence in the area, but whether
1t has succeeded in that respect Is any,
body's guess The only thing certain
about it is that it has not served the
cause of peace.
Nevertheless the "crisiS" seems suf-
ficiently abated now to encourage the
hope that mediating moves by King
Saud or others may help to promote
stability and peace not merely in the
Syrian Turkish sector, but throughout
the Middle East. No area of the world
is more in need Of progress along that
line.

Conviction in Egypt

An Egyptian military court has
sentenced IS persons to prison terms on
conviction for Communist activities.
Egyptian law forbids existence Of
Communist Party in that country. Those
who were convicted were charged with
membership in such party and with
activities aimed at "overthrowing the
countrys political and social regimes"
In view Of this latter charge, par
ticularly, it might be assumed that these
10 persuasive others were acquitted
were prosecuted and convicted only be-
cause they represented threat to the
political regime of President Nasser.

Dear Sir:
do you believe in con-
densation Of books?
81 think 1t is wrong. and
want someone to back me UP.
Several years ago I pur-
chased a volume which had
condensed three Of Dickens
stories, and the result to me
was tragic.
THE essence Of this ver-
bose man was his verbosity
as it were. He took twice as
many words to say a thing
as he needed. but that was
Charles Dickens.

is regarded as something OF

There is a very new move

1t must be some such re-
action as that Of our corre-
spondent.
We too, had read. or rather
tried to read, the Dickens
condensations, and could not
do it.
The life had gone out of
them.

luster of the prose is gone.
Fortunately. little has been
done with poetry along this
line, because 1t is easy for
everybody to see that the very
word arrangement is the
thing, in this type Of writing.
1t is not so easy to see 1t
in narrative art, but the es-
sential fact is that every
writer builds up a style OF
his own. whether he talks
about style" as Henry
James did, and makes q cult
out Of 1t, or whether he dis
dams the very idea, as Hem

The Goal Must Be Reached

The only logical time to end the
1857 United Givers Fund campaign is
when the goal Of 81 million has been
reached. While good progress toward
closing the remaining gap toward the
goal was reported at what was to have
been the final" campaign luncheon, the
deficiency is too great to warrant any
letup in the drive. General Chairman
Charming Walker and his workers are
showing commendable determination
and optimism in their decision to go on
indefinitely until we finish the job"
With II per cent of the goal
achieved, an extension Of time is neces-
sary if the $4,000 volunteers are to reach
all the potential givers in the Washing
ton Metropolitan Area. Many individuals
and groups are yet to be canvassed. The
lag is blamed on a number Of things,
including such public attention divert
ing developments during the campaign
as Queen Elizabeth'S visit, Sputnik's
debut and the arrival Of Asian flu. How
much any or all of these events ham,
pered the drive is hard to ascertain, but
they undoubtedly had an adverse effect
on the campaign. Now there is no sat
isfactory alternative to continuing the
drive until all possible givers have been
interviewed.
To end the solicitation before the
full 81 million has been obtained would
be grave disservice to the 140 humani-
tartan agencies which look to UGF for
money with which to carry on their vital
activities. The fact that SO other cities
already have reached or exceeded their
1857 goals should spur efforts to make
the local campaign as successful as last
years. The fate Of the united way"
of ending the multiplicity Of drives in
Washington hinges on the outcome.

'CoottoiF Test

President Eisenhower has put his
political popularity to the test in his in
dorsement Of the Republican guberna-
torial candidate in New Jersey.
New Jersey is normally Republican
1t to political normality. To do so, as
President Eisenhower said, would be
"a great shot In the arm for some
people that need it"-preSumably the
rank and file, as well as the top
echelons, Of his party. But, to accom-
plish this, the Republicans must defeat
a popular, attractive and youthful DEM
ocratic Governor, Robert B. Meyner, who
has benefited by support and assistance
from both sides of the partisan street.
If Mr.. Meyner is reelected, he will be
an important figure in the 1860 Demo-
cratic national convention. He could
be its presidential nominee or its choice
for second place on the ticket.
Defeat of Mr.. Meyner would have
comparably positive political implica-
tions. The Republican Party has been
smarting since last November from its
failure to elect G. o. p. Congress while
returning President Eisenhower and
Vice President Nixon to Office. 1t suf-
fered another setback last spring when
Michigan Democrats swept by-election
to give them their first complete control
of that States executive branch since
1921 And last summer, the G. o. P. was
shocked by losing special election in
normally Republican Wisconsin when
Democrat William Proxmire defeated
former Republican Governor Walter
Kohler for an unexpired term in the
United States Senate. 1t is because of
these setbacks that the G. o. P. needs
"shot in the arm"-a fact of political
life that was acknowledged by Mr.. Nixon
In connection with the New Jersey race
before Mr.. Eisenhower extended his in
dorsement to Republican gubernatorial
candidate Malcolm S. Forbes. No one
doubts that a Forbes victory, generally
considered long-shot bet despite his
energetic campaigning, would provide
the much-needed boost for Republican
morale. He is far from "in," however,
and the B.. o. p may have to look else
where for It's shot in the arm.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Democrats Need q Second Look

Northern liberal Democrats,
who speak glibly-as some
have-of tossing the Southern
wing of their party into the
discard and Of welcoming q
third party which would take
so-called Dixiecrats out Of
the National Democratic
Party. seemingly overlook the
fact that If they lost the
Southern Democratic Sena-
tors and Representatives. the
Republicans would materially
dominate both houses in the
85th Congress and probably
in the seth Congress, which
is to be elected next year.
The Observation-Disclosures is
sue, particularly the Gov.
Faubus-Little Rock school
incident. has made Northern
liberal Democrats edgy, to say
the least. But they could well
take a second look at the re-
suits Of the last three con-
gressional elections in 1852.
1854 and 1856.
It is quite true that in 1856,
when the INSTRUMENTATION
ticket was sweeping the
country, the Democrats elected
234 members of the House
and the Republicans only 20l.
But the 234 included the more
than 80 Democrats represent
ing Southern congressional
districts. If those 90-odd
Southern Representatives
wore some other political
label, and did not belong to
the National Democratic
Party nor admit allegiance
to the party, the Democrats
would fall far short of q con-
trolling vote in that body. The
Republicans, on the other
hand, would be the most
numerous group in the House
Proposal Keeps Rising
This talk Of tossing the
Southern Democrats out on
their ear has cropped UP re-
peatedly during the last eight
or nine years. And the talk
has not been all one-sided,
as evidenced by formation
of the Dixiecrat Party in the
South in 1913. when four OF
the Southern States gave
their presidential electoral
votes to Strom Thurmond
then Governor of South Caro-
lima and now Senator. Never
theless, the Southern Demo
Gratis have persisted in theil
attachment to the Demo
cratic Party, except wher
they turned their backs or
Adlai Stevenson in foul
States in 1852 and in 1--WE
States in 1956-in the presi-
Dental elections.
While the bitterness be.
tween the wings Of the
Democratic Party has flarec
strongly in recent weeks, the
probabilities are that the
cooler heads in both camps
will be able to head of any
final split. For example
Senator Richard B. Russell
of Georgia, speaking in Au-
gusta not long ago. declared
a third party movement by
Southern Democrats could be
a terrible mistake. He indi-
Gated strongly he would not
