France was to be the exclusive

King Mohamed is an ex-

solution should be found which

to provide to strengthen Mo-

Morocco's interest in obtain

equipped the present force Of

for a continuation of the for
eign aid program. II there are
plans for President Eisen-
hover to make a series of
radio and television speeches
in a direct appeal to the pub
lie. they have not been re-
vealed.
President Eisenhower has a
special handicap in that the
interests Of his administration
do not have compelling voices
in either house of Congress.
The Eisenhower Republicans
on the Hill are generally either
so junior as to lack weight or
temperamentally diSinclined to
leadership. The fighters in
Congress are largely on the
other side. This is why the
burden Of the fray must be
borne so heavily by Eisenhower
himself.
The plain facts of the Eisen-
hover budget are that defense
costs are high and will remain
high. so long as we must main
tain a strong military posture
as against Russia at q time
when enormously complicated
and expensive chronological
changes are being made in
ornaments. II and when
sharp budgetary reductions
are made, it will have to be
made in defense items. That
is where most Of the money
goes.
Now that the Senate shows
signs Of joining the House
in its budget chopping mood,
the Presidents work to save
some Of his administrations
important programs will be
cut out for him. And it will
be work.

Potential opponents Of Presi-

in Washington in the last 48
hours.
They are being confined at

a precautionary measure by
the authorities who now fear
a coup d'etat against the
Egyptian dictator after the
failure Of his intrigues in
Jordan.
A similar situation is re-
ported from Syria, where the

There is no doubt in the
minds Of our diplomatic and
military observers that the dra-
matte rushing Of the 9Th Fleet
to the Eastern Mediterranean
and movements of the Turkish
army along the Syrian border
have rocked the self-confidence
Of the pro-Communist leaders
of both Arab countries. They
had counted heavily on Mos
cows support in the attempt
to overthrow King Hussein of
Jordan and establish an anti
Western administration in that
country.
AS last fall when the Arabs
were convinced that Soviet
threats and their boast to

die East compelled the invad-
ing British, French and Is
raeli forces to withdraw, the
Egyptian and Syrian rulers
believed this time that the

ton to Offset any moves

Turkish troops on the Syrian
border.
The prestige Of the pro-
Soviet rulers in the Middle
East is based on Kremlin
saber rafting which in the
past has so frequently fright
ened the free nations. Egyp-
tan and Syrian agents in
Jordan at first engineered the
dismissal of Gen. John Bagot
Club. the British commander
Of the Arab Legion. After he
and his fellow British officers
were speedily evacuated from
Jordan last year, MoScow's
Spearheads thought they had
the field to themselves to get
rid Of King Hussein himself
and either control politically
or partition that synthetic
and poverty-stricken country.
Their plans failed when the
United States and Turkey,
unmindful Of the reactions of
the men in Moscow, made an
impressive display of force.
Neither President Nasser
nor Kuwatly of Syria is really
popular in his own county,
both Of which have become al
most as poverty-stricken as
Jordan. They have sustained
themselves by saber ratings
and by kicking in the shins the
Western powers. particularly
Britain and France. This was
unprecedented with the peo-
Piles in the Middle East. The
position Of both Soviet-spon-
sored puppets has become I'M
stable almost overnight. Rus

America and has been unable

Ruling May Affect Private Schools

II some relatives or other out
side persons choose to chal-
lenge the fulfillment of the
provisions of the will on the
ground that the trustee is IAN
agency Of the State" and
hence cannot violate the Four
tenth Amendment?
These are questions of de-
gree and scope on which the
new decision, which happens
to be brief, throws little light.
Also, to what extent will States
hereafter be limited in making
their own rules on wills and
trusts?
What. it is also being asked
by lawyers. is going to happen
to wills that are executed by
State appointees. as in the
case of an administrator" or
executor" designated by the
courts? Many wills, for ex-
ample. provide that, when a
wife remarries. she loses the
benefit of the funds be-
queathed, or that children are
to qualify only if they are
members of a certain church.
Does the new ruling mean
that. If the administrator is
held to be IAN agency of the
State" he cannot recognize
any discriminatory provisions
in wills hereafter? The at
torney general of a State, it
will be noted, has the duty of
enforcing all charitable trusts.
The new decision of the SUI
preme Court is avowedly based
on the school segregation rul-
ing handed down in 1854, but
1t raises more questions than
it answers.
The Supreme Court could
readily have accepted the de-
cision of Pennsylvania high
est court in this case and thus
could have retained the recog-
niZed principles Of law. But,
being sociologically inclined.
the tendency Of the present
Supreme Court justices is to
go more and more to the
side Of reform for reforms
sake. with less and less regard
for any consistency Of legal
precepts.

trine. All the painstaking work
Of the Soviet infiltrators and
provocateurs who have been so
successful in the last two years
appears now to be in jeopardy.
Washington has accepted
Moscow's challenge and the
Kremlin does not feel that it
can go further. The Egyptian
and Syrian dictators are now
worried lest their people be
tempted to get rid of them in
the hope Of dipping into the
American hope chest. which
has been denied them because
Of the Moscow dictated ac-
tons of their rulers.
Communism is definitely
unpopular in the Arab world.
Nasser and Kuwatly sided with
the men in Moscow because
they believed it would further
their own ambitious plans and
disguised their association I'M
der the cloak of "nationalism."
So long as things went well
they were able to impose
themselves on their long,
suffering people. But with
Russia not answering the
American challenge, both pup
pets feel they are skating on
thin ice.
1t is too early, of course, to
predict a full victory in the
determined action which the
United States took last Thurs
day. We must not UNDER
estimate the capabilities of the
Russians and their puppets.
But as things stand today,
there is no doubt that we have
won the first game in the
Middle East by taking a WE'LL
calculated risk. There is no
chance that the Soviets will
be able to wage a war by proxy
in that area at present.
The consensus of our best
military minds-unfortunately
SO frequently disregarded by
civilian policy-makers - has
been for a long time that the
USSR is not yet ready for a
direct showdown with this
country and its peripheric
allies.

Southern Conservative Seen in Drive
To End Quick Tax Write-OH Law

Senator Byrd took occasion
to demand an end to the quick
amortization law. for repeal Of
which he has a bill upon which
the Finance Committee is be-
ginning hearings Thursday.
The law was enacted originally
to induce industry to expand
plant capacity and build new
plants for our defense program
in the Second World War and
was revived for the Korean
War which, Senator Byrd
pointed out, came to an end
over three years ago.
Why Senator Byrd takes the
position he has on this tax
easement for a big private
utility, and on fiscal policy
which is pleasing to bankers
and on such industrial titans
as Charlie Wilson seems to
puzzle some who look upon
him as the essence OF con-
servatism. However, his atti-
tude is surprising only until
you fit him into his Southern
agrarian background.
That is characterized gen.
orally by suspicion Of Amer

Senator Carter Glass - found
his chief claim TO fame In his
sponsorship OF the Federal

tralized credit and It's control
