RICHMOND, Va. Nov. q (R.
There is a clear duty Of every
city or county treasurer Ito be
satisfied that a persons poll
taxes have been personally
paid Attorney General Ken
meth c. Patty held in an opin-
ion yesterday.
But Mr.. Patty did not rule
out block payment of poll taxes
by clubs and organizations. as
long as the treasurer was so
satisfied in his own mind.
He noted that State law
makes it the duty of the treas
urer to report to the common
wealth's attorney any payments
of poll taxes in an unlawful
manner.
Richmond City Treasurer
Walter B. Gentry had asked the
Attorney General whether it
was legal for clubs and organ
izations, and in some instances
individuals to make block pay
ments of poll taxes for men,
bers.
Mr.. Patty noted that the
Constitution provides that as
a prerequisite to the right to
vote a person must personally
pay" at least six months prior
to the election all poll taxes
assessed or assessable against
him during the previous three
years.
He noted, however, that the
Supreme Court had held that
where the debtor was the
source of payment and paid
the debt because he desired to
discharge the obligation out OF
his own funds it is. as would
seem clear, a personal payment,
no matter by what method or
avenue the money is made to

settlement which President
Eisenhower and Secretary
Dulles successfully persuaded
Israel to accept can be re-
garded now as the final chap
ter in the controversy. In a
sense. the work of "enforc-
ing" peace in the Middle East
has only begun. There are
economic aids which can help
to stabilize all the countries
of the Middle East that need
help, and there ale disputed
legal points, like the right of
navigation in the Gulf of
Aqaba, which as Dulles sug-
gests, may have to be left to
the world court at The Hague
to decide.
In the meantime. however,
the American position is that
there must be uninterrupted
access to the ships of all ma
tions, not only in the Gulf OF
Aqaba but in the Suez Canal,
till any legal points are finally
resolved by court Of Justice
unless, of course, direct nego-
tiation can do the job more
quickly.
Moral force calls for the
orderly way-the civilized way.
1t is the willingness Of the
President and the Secretary OF
State here to bear tolerantly
the brickbats that came to
them from the British and
French press last autumn. and
yet fearlessly champion moral
force, which stands out as a
great step forward in the
world today.
Comparable, too. is the
courage of Prime Minister
Ben-Gurion Of Israel in daring
to risk so much In placing his
reliance on moral force, even
though it earned him inside
Israel bitter political OPPOSE
ton and possible downfall OF
his regime. For Ben-Gurion
is relying on the good faith
and moral position of the
United States Government to
help him secure justice in the
current disputes when they
are debated in the court of
world opinion.
Moral force is effective when
it is applied on the side of not
just who is right but what is
right. 1t is a great advance in
the long search for a way to

Reds and Arabs Not Expected to Let
Real Peace Settle Over Middle East

An explosion in the Middle
East has been averted for the
time being. Israel's agreement
to withdraw her forces from
the GAIA Strip and the Gulf Of
Aqaba coast has relieved the
situation. And it is conceivable
that for a short while the
Egyptians may shut their eyes
to a few ships flying Israeli,
British and French flags sail
ing into the Israeli port of
Elath at the head of the Gulf
Of Aqaba.
American teams of economic
assistance and technical aid
experts soon will be flocking
back to the haunts from which
they were removed when the
crisis became threatening last
November.
Our policy makers in the
White House and the State
Department are signing in
relief. They hope that with the
5000 million discretionary fund
approved under the Eisen-
hover doctrine they will be
able to do something's not
to improve the situation fun
damentally, at least to pre-
vent another blowout.
Israel is in bad shape f.
nancially and economically
and will welcome a renewed
flow of economic assistance
from this country. Egypt is in
worse condition. Its economy
is shot to pieces from the
various naturalization meas
ures ordered by President Mas
ser. The forced departure Of
Western businessmen with
long experience in that coun-
try and the loss Of very re-
munerative tourist trade have
further worsened conditions.
Hence. Washington officials
believe Nasser might welcome
American help. provided it
does not interfere with his
love-affair with the Commu-
mist world. Since our avowed
policy is to attach no political

strings to economic assistance,
his expectations may be full
filled.
But nobody, not even the
most optimistic diplomatic
"Coue-ists." believe the tenn
porary patch-up can bring
real peace to the Middle East.
This is based on two funda-
mentals which played such an
important role in the last
months: % the determine
ton Of the Arabs who sur
round Israel to do away with
that state which they describe
as a synthetic production of
Western colonialist-imperial-
ists":: and (2) the relentless
plots and intrigues of the
Kremlin which sees in the
present turmoil an excellent
chance to deny the precious
Arab oil to the West.
The visit of King Saud to
Washington resulted in g
genuine improvement in Saudi
Arabian American relations.
But even in the cordial atmos-
phere which prevailed during
the Today visit, the Arabian
potentate never budged from
his position that Israel could
not and must not survive as a
sovereign state. The matter of
the future of Israel was
touched on gingerly by the

President Eisenhower down.
