THE DAY OF FULL GLORY

1t was the day of full glory for the
Japanese cherry trees that line the Tidal

of civic holiday. Indeed the people of
Washington make it holiday to the best
OF their ability, coming to the Basin at
midday in pilgrimage from all over the city.

through world empowered, under canopied
masses of white bloom
The scene was magical, as If reality
had given way to an illusory kingdom Of
flower and light, the light shimmering and
ghostlike in its reflection from the masses
of bloom overhead. They seemed a distilla-
ton of light, without weight or substance.
The landscape was arrayed as if the earth
were having its own mystic wedding festival,
all IN white close up, nacreouS white in the
distance, across the mirror of still water.

Vendors were all about, selling ice
cream and peanuts. Little boys kept their
elders in state of nervous anxiety Straying
through the crowd, threatening to fall off
the embankment, or camoring for ice cream.
Half the people had cameras and were
striving for an opening in the crowd through
which they could photograph the trees
For the inhabitants of Washington, this
was the first unmistakable day of spring,
an occasion for festivity. During the next
few days, all over the city, everybody would
ask everybody else whether he had been to
see the cherry blossoms.
Uncounted Government StenographerS,
who had for moment forgotten the ache
and the emptiness, would now write home
to Austin, to Dubuque, to st. Louis, to
Mudville, to Los Angeles-Saying they had
seen the cherry blossoms. Then the whole
business would be forgotten for another
year, the mirage gone, the workaday world
OF the city unchanged

already gone from the scene. Fallen bios

Europe Is Gloomy

Western Europe took a gloomy
view of the future if the Egyptian
naturalization Of the Suez Canal
remains as unilateral as present
terms indicate. In effect, say Lon
don and Paris. the ambitious Col.
NaSser will have the economy of
Western Europe at his mercy. If he
employed his advantage fully and
ruthleSsly. the results would alter
radically the present precarious
balance of world power.
Mr.. Hammarskjold announced
early in the week that the United
Nations Emergency Force units
strung out along the border of the
GAIA Strip would seek to prevent
infiltration into Israel of the elusive
Egyptian fedayeen raiders. The
U. N. chief added that he had as
surances from Egypt that regula-
tons against infiltrations would be
effectively" made known to the
Strips Arab refugees. from among
whom the fedayeen come.
Israel. standing pat in refusing
to permit the UNEF troops on her
side of the border, declared the
fedayeen bands had been reorgan-
lied and were ready to resume hit
and-run raids. And on Friday,
Jerusalem revealed deep concern"
over developments in Jordan and III
Syria, where intelligence reports
predicted coups by pro-Soviet ele-
ments against the existing govern
ments.

Attacks President

In Jordan, King Hussein had so
far succeeded in curbing nation
alist. pro-Egyptian and pro-Soviet
factions led by Premier Suleiman
Nabulsi. But Mr. NabulSi on Fri
day, in a radio speech at Amman,
bitterly attacked President Eisen-
hover as "a new prophet who
would drag us into ditch of con-
flict and exploitation and imper-
ialiSm. -"
Heavy censorship in Syria
masked recent developments in the
internal struggle between the pro-
Egyptian forces led by 1t. Col.
Abdel Hamid Serial, young disciple
Of Col. Nasser, and the regime OF
moderate President Shukri ell
Kuwatly. But Syrian Foreign
Minister Salah Bitar warned in
Damascus that Syria would insist
that the Gulf Of Aqaba was ARAB
territorial waters" and that Israeli
attempts to use the gulf for access
to the port OF Elath would be
aggression against Egypt and
Saudi Arabia. Mr.. Bitar also at
tackled Mr.. Dulles, saying Ameri-
can support for Israel's insistence
on rights In the gulf and the Suez
Canal was ian encouragement TO
Israel for aggression"
One hopeful sign was seen Tues
day when the State Department
lifted the five-month ban on travel
by Americans to Egypt. Israel,

The Disovowois

AT his press conference last
Wednesday, Mr.. Dulles went to
some pains to disavow these state
ments. In response to questions.
he declared that % there were "a
number OF reasons" why the offer
OF United States aid for the con-
struction Of the Aswan Dam had
been cancelled, and 90 that there
exists nothing beyond what I have
described :" to assure the Ma
tionalist Chinese leader that Ameri-
can military forces would go to
the defense of Quemoy and the
Matsrs in the event of a Chinese
Communist attack.
On the subject Of Aswan, he as
sured the newsmen that g. the
Egyptians, in a sense, forced upon
lis an issue to which l think there
was only one proper response. That
issue was, do nations which play
both sides get better treatment than
nations which are stalwart and
work with us? :"
And referring to the biographer's
report that Mr.. Eisenhower had
promised defense Of Quemoy and
the Matsus. he said. THE only

Middle East:
New Threat

The unresolved problems Of the
Middle East we're no nearer solu-
ton last week, and there was a
new threat Of violence. Israel,
impatient and angry over the
Egyptian insistence on unilateral
operation Of the Suez Canal with
a continued ban on Israeli ship
ping. warned again Of new crash
landing" The words plainly meant
direct action-war.
While American Ambassador
Raymond Hare pressed Egypt's
Foreign Minister. the willy
Mahmoud Fawzi. for a softening
OF the Egyptian terms on the canal
reopening, Israel notified the United
States that she intended to exer-
else her right to send ships through
the waterway. No date was set,
but vessel flying the Israeli flag
Is expected to demand transit
shortly. If the demand is rejected.
Jerusalem has warned, Israel will
feel free to act"
Despite the lengthy talks between
Mr.. Hare and Mr.. Fawzi and. a
stream of notes between Washing
ton and Cairo, there were no signs
during the week that the Egyptian
position had altered. The exact
nature of the American proposals
have not been disclosed, but re-
ports from Cairo hint plans for an
international conference on the
Suez issue. probably in Switzerland,

Nations Secretary General Dag

Texas Election:
A Democrat

The Democrats last week DEM
onstrated again that they can win
elections when Dwight D. Eisen-
hover isn't directly involved in the
contest.
On Monday, they knocked down
Republican aspirations in Michigan
by winning 10 top State Offices
giving them control of the only two
major administrative posts held by
Republicans and leaving Senator
Charles E. Potter as the only State
Republican holding high Office.
On the following day, Texas DEM
ocrats assured their party of con-
tinued one-vote control of the
United States Senate by picking
four-time loser Ralph Marlborough
from among 20 Democratic and two
Republican contenders to take the
seat vacated by the resignation Of
Price Daniel in January.
In Texas. no hotbed of liberal
ism, Mr.. Marlborough is considered
a liberal. Elsewhere. however, it is
extremely doubtful that the So
year-old Senator-elect will be
viewed that way. He is cool to Fed
eral aid for education, espouses the
Southern viewpoint on civil rights,
has criticized foreign aid, holds the
Texas viewpoint on gas and oil is
sues and can speak eloquently on
the subject Of States rights as OPP
posed to Federal encroachment.
Mr.. Marlborough, whose only two
strong opponents were Democratic
Representative Martin Dies and Re-
publican Thad Hutchinson, got only
SO per cent of the total vote. The
rest went to avowed conservatives,
either Democrats or Republicans.
This percentage indicates that Mr.
Marlborough will have difficult
fight in 1858. when the chances are
that he viii face strong Democrat
of the Shivers school in the pri-
mary.
The Republicans had hoped that
the abundance Of Democratic can
didates would result in the election
of Mr.. Hutchinson. Although these
hopes were dashed, they claimed a
share of the victory. Mr.. Hutchinson
won % per cent OF the total vote,
an Improvement over the IA per
cent won by the Republican who
ran against Senator johnson In
1854.

REVIEW OF THE WEEK
Britains Grim Decision

Britain, bowling to the realities
OF the atomic age and her new.
reduced role In world affairs, has
ordered . revolutionary revision Of
her defense policy. Openly accept
ing dependence on the United
States leadership for the defense Of
the West. the revised policy slashes
conventional concepts.
Cleared to q flve-year change
over period, the new British mill
tary program will rely almost ex-
clusively on nuclear weapons -
atomic and hydrogen bombs for
the present. and nuclear warhead
guided missiles. promised by the
United. States. for the future.
Behind the decision to place the
nations chief reliance on push
button" warfare is acceptance of
the theory that effective defense of
the British Isles against nuclear
attack is impossible.
The Macmillan govern emit
Thursday announced the details.
The blueprint. providing for a slash
in Britain's armed forces much
more drastic than had been pre-
dicted from a present total of
100000 to $4,000 within the next
five years.. provoked CONSERVATION
in the Pentagon.
Most disturbing to American
military men. apparently. was the
British admission that there is at
present no means of providing ade-
quate protection for the people of
this country against the conse-
quences OF an attack with nuclear
weapons"
In accommodating British policy
to this chilling appraisal of the
military future. the Conservative
government planned; ID The scrap
ping Of the traditional imperial
defense" system, based on over
seas garrisons and mighty battle
squadrons at sea; 90 the ABANDON
ment Of further development work
on superSonic fighter and bomber
planes; and 80 the ending Of the
military CONSUMPTION laws by 1860,
with subsequent dependence en-

Both implicit and explicit in the

fatalistic dependence on the speedy

NAL SCENE

In the more than 100 days since
President Eisenhower sent his rec
ord peacetime budget of $7l.8 bill
lion to Congress, there has been a
continuous and painful examination
OF the spending requests in Con-
gress. at the White House and out
side the Government.
There have been claims that the
budget can be reduced by 10 per
cent; there have been suggestions
that Congress place q ceiling on
spending; there have been accusa-
tons and counter-accusations:
there has been talk OF hair curl
ING" depressions. and even threats
that the high cost Of Government
viii lead indirectly to the eventual
overrunning Of America by Asian
hordes.
There have also been some serious
attempts In Congress to hold the
line on spending. For more than
SIX weeks Mr.. Eisenhower's budget
has been under the knife on the
fioor OF the House, where the sixth
OF the big departmental appropri-
alton bills was received Friday
afternoon. Yet the score now stands
at less than IL per cent, or only
81 billion removed-either by floor
action or by tentative pairing in the
Appropriations Committee. And, if
the usual procedure follows, the
Senate will restore some of the
House reductions.
1t appeared as the week ended
to be the same old story: u rs easy
to talk about substantial. | budget
reductions. but 1t is an objective
difficult to attain.
Typical House cuts were not likely
to leave any scars on the big budget:
$4,000 from salaries and expenses
OF the Office of the Secretary of
Labor, $4,000 from the same in the
office Of the Labor Department
solicitor: $65.200 from the National
Labor Relations Board.
