The controversial soil bank SUBJ,
sidy program shows an efficiency
rate Of about 46 per cent in the
job Of reducing the Nations over
producing crop acreage.
The program was authorized by
Congress last year with major pro-
visions set to expire with 1859
crops. 1t directed the Agriculture
Department to offer payments to
farmers who planted less than
their assigned allotments OF cot
ton. wheat, corn. rice and to-
bacco.
With cropland producing more
than could be sold at Govern
ment-supported prices. SURPRISES
were piling up in the hands of the
department. The objective of the
soil bank was to help bring about
a cut in farm production to a point
where supplies balanced output.
Taking the crop acreage in 1855
as the base-that being the last
year before the soil bank-the new
measure will get a net reduction
Of about Is million acres this year.
In 1855 farmers harvested about
1888 million acres Of various crops:
an estimated 800 million acres will
be harvested this year.
Agreed TO Retire Larger Acreage
But farmers had signed agree
ments to retire not IS million, but
% million acres from production.
For doing this they were offered
payments averaging $lS an acre
for wheat. $37 for corn, $50 for
cotton. $64 for rice and 1920 for
tobacco and lesser amounts fg
other crops. The Governments
total obligation for this year is
about $500 million. or an average
OF about s25 an acre for the idled
land.
For every acre farmers took out
Of production under the soil bank.
however. they added slightly more
than one-half acre Of other lands
to the production OF crops. This
added land-much, OF 1t having
been pastures. meadows and the
like-was not put TO the big sur
plus crops but TO others. Thus,

ChoIIenoe Can Be Met
That the West faces a new and
greater competition for the mind
of man If the Soviet production
drive is successful is certain. But
the prospect is not entirely dis
maying. nor is the challenge one
that cannot be met.
Western observers Of the Soviet
scene stress two major points In
their argument that the Khru-
shchev new look" may turn out to
be a blessing for the free world:
Cd The bureaucracy Of the Soviet
system, even "decentralized" I'M
der the Khrushchev program. can
never be a match for the free
economy of the West. and (2) that
even a moderate success Of the
new economic improvement drive
will lessen the danger of war.
Backing the latter conviction
is the belief that the Moscow
regime feels reasonably GER
tain of a prolonged period Of
peace. But even more important
is the historically valid argument
that a people enjoying compar-
atively comfortable economic
standards is far less likely to
embark on a major war than Q
deprived people.
Thus many close observers OF
the fast-developing Soviet scene
believe that Moscows success in
attaining her new economic goals
would greatly lessen tensions in
the cold war and would lead to q
peaceful test of two ways of life.

falsify or to list frankly. Either
way. State Department officials
believe the Kremlin would lose and
the West would win.
Fifth, several OF the United

AIMS ARE UNCHANGED

Russias Bid for the Middle East
Reds Exploit NutionuIism

This immunity from effective doc.
trinal questioning or attack af-
fords communism both the free
dom of complete tactical maneu-
variability and the opportunity of
full exploitation of the current is
sues of political Arab nationalism.
Thus it appears that Communist
action in the Arab world rests on
the two-fold principle of (a) sup
pressing the doctrinal aspect of
communism. in favor of total po-
litical concentration, and (b) bas-
ing political action on complete
Identification with the revolution
airy aspect of Arab nationalism.
Western thought and action in
the Arab world has always gone
counter to this latter principle.
Britain and France (and to
lesser degree the United States
have always supported the status
quo against the nationalist forces
demanding political change, and
constantly stressed the meaning
and advantages of stable social
and economic progress rather than
the need for the attainment of
immediate political detectives.
1t is evident how eminently sue
cessful the Communist approach
has been thus far. and how pre-
carious the balance in the Arab
world remains between the "neu-
tralist" and pro-Western camps.
1t is also evident that the
source of Communist power in
the Arab countries does not lie
in the number of ard-carrying
members of the Communist Party.
1t is doubtful that Khalid Bek-
dash (the leader of the Commun-
list parties of the Fertile Crescent
countries - Syria, Lebanon, Jor-
dan and Iraq) has more than
10000 to $4,000 followers in this
area whose population is over IL
million. But today he is a member
OF the triumvirate which rules
Syria and thus exercises vast in
fiuence in present Arab politics.
A Meeting of GooIs
The effectiveness of INDIGENOUS
Arab communism is at its highest
only when the interests and goals
OF the two determining forces in
any Arab state today-the army
and the nationalist movement
can agree on opposition to the
West as a basis of national policy.
This is exactly what happened
in Syria and what almost took
place in Jordan last May. The
next phase of development chad
it been allowed to occur would
have probably brought to light
the unbelievable sight of a group
OF essentially anti-Communist,
Arab states-Egypt. Syria, Jordan
and perhaps Saudi Arabia and
Yemen-within the Soviet orbit.
Geographically and historically,
the Middle East is part Of the
Mediterranean. and therefore, of
the Western world.
The West. as represented by
Britain, France and the United
States, has thus far failed to
establish in clarity the true and
lasting ties which bind it to this
area. With the rise of commu-
niSm. and now with its entry into
the Middle East. these bonds are
subject to serious danger.
1t is not too much to assume
that perhaps the surest way to
combat communism in the Arab
world is not merely by fighting
it with its own weapons but also
by earnestly looking for the secret
of its amazing success, an effort
which might lead to a truer I'M
derstanding Of what really ais
the Arabs today.

But despite the immense gains
Of Soviet industry the real stand
eard Of living Of many Russians
has advanced little. if any, from
that prevailing under the Cars.
Food and shelter are still hard to
come by; clothing and consumer
goods are scarce and expensive;
luxuries. such as telephones. au-

frigerators are for the privileged
few of the new Communist elite.
Now, having tossed out his
enemies in communiSm's ruling
oligarchy. Nikita Khrushchev pro-
poses to make some major
changes. Most important among
them are: Cd to embark on a
radical decentralization of Soviet
industry. RELOCATING much of the
responsibility for its operation to
regional and local bodies, thus
tightening to a large extent the
milestone of centralized Moscow
bureaucracy; 90 to decentralize,
at the same time, the vast Soviet

tent weapon for the state in the

towardOthe major goals of Soviet
and world communism; and go
to adopt a series of measures,
from land reclamation to new and
more liberal incentive for indi-
vidual peasants and the collective
farms. to bring about a surge in
Soviet agricultural production.
Chonge Of Emphasis
She Khrushchev program en-
visageS. necessarily, some relaxa-
ton in the austere emphasis on
heavy industry in the Soviet
Union. The establishment and
development of heavy industry,
such as the coal. iron and steel
combines, hydroelectric power
projects. oil refineries, railroad,
road and canal building. has been
the cardinal principal of the
Soviet state since the revolution.
There have been temporary re-
lapses, such as that of the l920s
when a tactical return to modi-
fed capitalism was dictated by
necessity. But in the main, the
daily needs and comfort of or
binary citizens have had to YIELD
to the almost fanatical desire to
build the industrial base.

Compromise Is Framed
. House and Senate Judiciary
Committees have agreed on a
compromise wording of a new
f1ngerprinting provision which is
believed to be noncontroversial.
1t provides that the Attorney
General. and Secretary of State
shall have discretionary power to
waive the flngerprinting require
ment for nonimmigrant visitors,
where this would be in the best
interests of the United States.
1t also provides that the waving
should be done on a reciprocal
basis. This is largely a protection
against any future action abroad,
since few if any foreign countries
now require visiting aliens to be
f1ngerprinted.
Representative Walter OF the
House Judiciary Committee, CO.
author of the immigration and
Naturalization Act, has been the
principal foe Of changing the An
gerprinting regulations. He in
sisted that the fingerprinting pro-
vision be retained, but now is
understood to have approved the
waiver amendments.
The fate OF the flngerprinting
provisions, however. is still tied
to that Of the entire package of
amendments to the Immigration
and Naturalization Act.
Two Bills Considered
Representative Walter has
worked with Senator Dirksen of
Illinois and Senator Kennedy Of
Massachusetts on standardizing
the amendments. About five-sixths
OF a bin introduced by Senator
Dirksen and about three ourths
OF one by Senator Kennedy are
identical with Mr.. Walters ver-
sion.
First action in Congress is to
be taken in the Senate. Whether
the Judiciary Committee will re-
port out the Dirksen or Kennedy
bill-or q third version-or none
at all, is still to be decided.
The biggest bone Of contention
which might slow up or stop
the whole package Of amendments
lis the question of redistributing
unused quotas for immigrants.
II the Senators cannot agree
among themselves. or If the House
and Senate cannot agree. the I'm
migration Act amendments might
be put over for another year.
That would impede the East
West cultural exchange program
on which the administration has
pinned great hopes for easing ten
sions with the Soviet Union and
bringing about q gradual trans

ROME.-The Middle East is
building up to another explosion.
The military and political ingre-
dents thereof have been accumu-
lating for months. Only the timing,
according to observers here. is in
doubt.
What worries West European
diplomats most is the continued
flow of weapons to Egypt and
Syria from the Soviet Union and
Czechoslovakia, its most sub
servient satellite. They harbor no
illusions that the changes in the
Kremlin hierarchy will be reflected
in a modification of Soviet policy
in the Middle East or the Mediter-
ranean.
Moscow Radio recently was ex-
plicit on that point. Arabic broad
casts intercepted here stressed
the theme that the Kremlin
shakeup which jolted out of Office
Dmitri Shepilov, presumed arch
itect of the Soviet'S policy of
"disinterested military and eco
nomic aid to it's friends in the
Arab world" did not imply any
change in the policy.
. "Disinterested" Communist as
sistance has included, in the
months since the October Novem-
Der Suez crisis, three W-Class,
long-range submarines and un-
disclosed quantities of ornaments
for Egypt and some $275 million
worth of land and air weapons
for Syria.
Submarines Seen as Threot
Just how much of the fighting
gear which the Egyptians lost to
the Israelis in the Sinai campaign
has been replaced is not known.
The submarines alone constitute
a serious threat to the peace of
the Middle East whether they be
used to attempt to trail the United
States 9Th Fleet, as seems unlikely.
or operate against Israeli shipping
In the Gulf Of Aqaba, as seems
almost certain.
Certainly, their presence in the
Egyptian fleet worries the Israelis
who are constrained to purchase
anti-submarlne devices and weap-
ons in an attempt to redress the
imbalance. Dictator Nasser must
know, however, that the instant
one of his submarines fires a lethal
shell or torpedo at a ship carrying
the Israeli flag. he will bring upon
his country swift retribution. If
learned nothing in the six weeks
I spent in Israel this spring, I
learned the depth of the deter
mination of the Israelis to attempt
to annihilate Col. Nasser's military
establishment at the first Egyptian
act Of overt belligerency.
learned also to respect the
ability Of the Israelis to use such
weapons as they have and I was
impressed. furthermore, by their
Don't Tread on Me" spirit. AS
April blosSomed, the Jews made
it plain they had had enough of
fedayeen raids, frontier violations
and the Arab boycott and that
they would react most violently,
within legal limits, to unbearable
propagation.
An attack on an Israeli ship
by Egypt possessing submarines
acquired for no other reasonable
purpose would be construed as an
overt act of belligerency to which
there could be but one reply: An
attack on Egypt such as to make
the Sinai drive seem by COMPARE
son a reconnaissance in force.
That. at least, was the impress
sion I obtained from Israelis from
