Well. Betty said she was a gypsy
too and would like nothing better
than travelling. So we bought Q

after all, I'm not breaking il
anyway. I'm just begging Abt
to try to see things my way.
We have Travelled an awful lot
in the past eight years and vel
travel again-after the kids arr
grown. Life in a trailer is very
hard when you have a growing
family. There's no privacy. M
room to move around, not much
you can do to make a really at.
tractive home.
There is also the problem Of
the children's schooling. We
should settle down in one place
so that they can go to the same
school term after term, like nor.
NAL children. Abe says travel i:
more educational than anything
for children, but I think they
are too young to know what it's
all about. Abe should make q
sacrifice for them.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Abe may be gypsy in his feet
but he's just a stodgy stand
patter in his head. The idea OF
giving UP his fixed intention OF
forever covering miles and more
miles is frightening to him.
Sticking to his travel schedule
represents security. Settling into
a comfortable home represents
the menacing unknown.
Abe should try to become a bit
of an adventurer in his mind.
He has wandered for more than
eight years. What would it be
like to settle down into the at
tractive home his wife wants to
make? Hasn't he any curiosity
to experience this new way of
living?
Betty's position is a reasonable
one. She is right about the chill
|dren's need to be established in
one school. We're willing to bet
that once they are settled in that
nice home. Betty will find it hard
to get Abe to rove around the
corner for a walk. Abe should
move his travel schedule ahead
to the time when the children
are grown and he and Betty are
free as larks again.

Initiation and u. S. Budget

Truman to do likewise soon
enough when the Korean War
broke out, have placed on the
American people a burden Of
$140 billion Of unnecessary
debt--more than half Of the
total national debt Of today.
Mr.. Baruch's point is that
pressures by different groups
of economic and political
forces which prevent the OPP
perfume ordering of controls
over wages and prices is much
more expensive in the long run
than the inconvenience to the
economic system resulting inn
mediately from such controls.
For prices and wage scales
that once go up cannot be
readily rolled back.
Imitation. of course. works
both ways. 1t sends income UP,
too. That's why there is q big
surprise when the total SPEND
ing of today is related to the
national income of the Ameri-
can people. Thus. even in 1857
dollars, the spending by the
Federal Government for all
nondefense items, including
welfare programs. now takes
only rs per cent of the ma
tional income. whereas in 1850
1t took 10 per cent. Back in
1889. the nondefense category
OF spending was absorbing IL
per cent Of the national in
come. Yet. the erroneous i'm
preston now is widespread
that nondefense spending to-
day is out of all proportion
compared to the past.
Mr.. Eisenhower has not vet
gone to the people, as he may
do soon. with an explanation
of what really has caused us
to have a $72 billion budget.
When he does, he can show
that imitation and postwar
exploitation by econom / c
groups are together responsible
for the swollen budgets Of the
national Government. and the
State and city governments, as
well as the expanded budget Of
the American family.

The Kremlin has been sur
prised by the quick show of
strength by the United States
in the Jordan crisis which
Soviet agents, through Egyp-
tian President Nasser, had SO
carefully prepared.
Russia is not ready at this
time for a showdown with the
United States in that par
ticular part of the world. In
order not to lose face with the
Arabs. the Soviet leaders are
said to be making a novel
suggestion" for a permanent
settlement Of the Middle East
ern turmoil.
The Red suggestion for a
lasting peace in the Middle
East is said to involve the dis
solution of Israel as a sover-
eign state and its partition
among Jordan. Syria, Egypt
and Saudi Arabia.
The Russians seem to over
look the fact that Israel was
created by the United Nations
as a sovereign republic through
American and Soviet efforts
and preSsures on other men,
bers.
Their argument seems to be
that the Jewish state Is a part
of the old Arab world and for
the sake of permanent peace it
is necessary to satisfy the Arab
states created since the end
of the First World War by the
Western powers themselves.
Otherwise. the Kremlin has
indicated to Western diplomats
in Moscow that there can be
no hope for stability in that
vast area.
The new reported-and off,
cially still unconfirmed-plan
was quickly evolved by the
Russian leaders when they
realized that the American

of Jordan. represented by its
mighty naval and air forces.

approach Of a strong armada
had a greater impact on the
men in Cairo and Damascus
than was expected.
What scared them more
than the approach of the 9Th
Fleet. however. was the pres
ence of a couple Of Turkish
divisions on the Syrian border.
These could ARREST" the Syr-
ian army as soon as Ankara
decided that Intervention to
preserve the status quo was
essential for peace in the
Middle East.
1t is logical to conjecture
that some sort of communica-
tions between Ankara and
Washington must have been
exchanged as soon as 1t ap-
peared that the King of Jor-
dan was in jeopardy and that
he had to be saved at any
price.
The Syrians know that their
Soviet equipped and trained
forces would melt away even
quicker than the unprece-
dentedly fast dissolution of the
Egyptian divisions last fall
when the Israelis attacked
them.
The Turks are said to be
willing to take a calculated
risk in Syria despite the pres
ence of large Soviet forces at
their eastern borders. They
were not intimidated by the
ussians even when they
lacked modern equipment be-
fore we decided to help them
out in 1947.
Now they are confident that
they can accept any challenge
from their centuries-old
enemies. They feel strongly
that a Soviet attack would
unleash a bloody WARMTH
American participation. And
Russia. despite her saber rat
Ting, is not yet ready to chal-
lenge the United States di-
rectly.
The men in Moscow, if the
reports received in the last few
days are more than trial bal
looms, must devise something
to save face with the Arabs
without risking a showdown
with the United States.

sharply. Washington is a place
of singularly mild political
temper. It tends to pamper
the "ins" but 1t never forgets
that the "outs" were here
yesterday and will probably be
back tomorrow.
Above all. it sees in all ad-
ministrations the usual mix
ture OF virtue and vice, the
usual contest between passion
and reason.
Confronted. however, with a
harsh look. it reacted with
cliches Of its own about the
millionaires and their indif-
ference to the common lot. The
formal parties have gone on as
before, indeed there have been
more of them, but there was
little real heartiness until Mrs.
Wilson took the field.
Ine Wnlte House must share
the blame. Even before the
Presidents illness it made little
contribution to the friendly
social understandings that
grease the wheels Of Govern
ment. Except for formal affairs
and the stag dinners, there has
been very little mingling at
1000 Pennsylvania Avenue.
1t would still seem that
Potomac fever is the disease
least likely to occur to a
prominent Eisenhower sup
porter. nor will Washington
concede that Government is an
avocation instead of a voca-
ton.
But as Mrs. Wilson has
proved. the common ground is
there with much to be gained
on all sides by achieving it.
The Wilson's will leave behind
a permanent and happy i'm
preston on the collective
recollection Of Washington.

administration was responsible
for the making of the Federal
budget.
Turning to the family budget
of the average American--and
using the Governments price
index for the goods the private
citizen buys-the same trend is
noted. A house that used to
sell for $4,000 Just after
World War II. sells for $l4.-
600 today. An automobile
that the family bought for ST.
$50 in the year 1910, now costs
about $4,000. According to
Government figures. the aver
age family in 1910 spent $2.-
009 for food. clothing, housing,
and all the things that a typi-
cal home requires. But by
l947, the outlay was $4.042.
or more than double that Of
1910. Looking at a comparison
covering the last 10 years. it
will be found that the same
family is now spending $5,55l,
or 40 per cent more than in
1947 for the same things. But
in terms of 1910 dollars the
spending has risen only about
4 per cent-from $2,659 to
$2.766 in the last decade.
The critics who have jumped
on President Eisenhower for
the size of the current budget
have ignored the steadily rising
costs that have come as a con-
sequence of labor demands
each year and the price in
creaseS all along the line that
have been required to meet
such rises in cost.

Middle East, into panic.
In these days when inter-
national morality is at its
lowest ebb in history. Krem-
lin leaders seem to believe
that such peaceful sugges-
tions" might appeal to the
peace and trade-hungry West.
The Soviet Union is with
out doubt in a pickle in the
Middle East where it has so
carefully plotted for the last
two years to humiliate and
expel the Western influence.
It found willing tools in the
Egyptian and Syrian army
and political leaders, who in
suited and defied the Western
nations.
The Soviets boasted that
they stopped the British and
French expedition against
Egypt last fall by warning
those two powers of Russian
retaliation and an expedition
of volunteers" to the Middle
East.
The Arabs believed this tale.
They always have been over
awed by any show of strength.
The Moscow threats did not
particularly impress London
and Paris. They ordered with
drawal Of their forces only
when we cut off oil supplies.
Nonetheless, the Arabs were
impressed by the Soviet
propaganda.
The Jordan crisis had been

Syrian and Egyptian govern
ments. Both hoped to be able
to gobble up that country. But
it appears that King Hussein
may be able to weather the
