ooro is scheduled for completion.
The six delegates and State
Senator Winship Wheatley, jr.,
Democrat of Prince Georges,
earlier had agreed to establish
the new court effective not later
Than January /, 1858. What they
have in mind is a master Of
juvenile causes working under
the Circuit Court as is done in
Baltimore County. The county
oar association has approved
such a plan.
Interim Plan Proposed
After yesterdays conference,
Mr.. Machen said he will propose
to the rest Of the delegation that.
until new courtroom facilities
are available, the Circuit Court
judges be authorized to appoint
the necessary personnel for the
proposed new juvenile court and
assign them to work with the
trial magistrates court. This
personnel might include the pro-
posed master. he said.
Juvenile offenders now go be-
fore trial magistrates in police
courts in Upper Marlboro and
Hyattsville. Mr.. Machen said
he also will propose that. until
the Circuit Court can take on
all Juvenile cases, they be handled
exclusively by Hyattsvilie trial
magistrate. His reasons for this.
he explained. would be to make
it easier for the new juvenile
court aides to learn their jobs.
Delegate Sickles, admitting he
was swayed by the arguments of
the judges. said he hopes the
delegation will be able to come
up With some system, which
will improve the handling Of
juvenile cases in this twilight"
until the new facilities are
available.
LOveless Hopeful
Mr.. Loveless. who has been an
outspoken opponent Of any de-
lay in scrapping the present
county juvenile court system,
said he still has faith and con-
fidence that something can be
worked out to take care of the
on an immediate
basis"

And of the 41O,SOO,OO0 ounces

have come back at this writing.
Through December 81. according

The United States Treasury silver
that was modified to fight the
Axis during World War II finally
has begin to come home in SUBJ
stantial stream. Nearly all of it
will be back in this country by
May.
This vast treasure will for the
most part again be locked away
in the great silver vault at West
Point. N. Y. Just a fraction will
be used by the United States minis
to make change" or, if necessary,
sold TO industrial buyers unable to
all their demands from newly mined
metal and scrap.
Back in the early New Deal days.
to placate the powerful silver Sen
ators, the Roosevelt administration
launched two sllver-buying pro-
grams which had the effect Of
raising the world price Of silver.
The voracious purchases, conducted
at a speed and on scale which
astounded bullion circles. swept the
markets clean and denuded many
countries of their silver coinage
because the metal became more
valuable as bullion than as cir
culating money.
Under the Silver Purchase Act
Of 1884 alone. more than two bill
lion ounces Of the metal was ac-
quired by the Treasury. Raise the
Orient's buying power" was the
cry. For their silver the sellers
received more than $l.027 500 900.
Only part Of this bullion was
used" as money here. being set
aside as security" for newly-issued
silver certificates such as our 81
bills. All the rest was just boarded
by the Government.
War Brings Big Demond
But then during World War II
unanticipated big demands for
silver developed. Currency infla-
ton became worldwide, and with
this arose the need for large
amounts Of silver coinage in

of the alliance.
Three Wise Men
These actions flow from approval
by the NATO foreign ministers of
recommendation of three wise
men" commissioned last May to
seek new ways Of expanding polit-
ical and economic cooperation
among NATO members. The COM
mittee of three consisted of Gaetano
MARITIME. Foreign Minister of Italy:
Harvard Lange. Foreign Minister Of
Norway, and Lester B. Pearson,
Secretary of State for External
Affairs Of Canada.
Last month the Is foreign min
listers took note Of the report, APP

the Atlantic Council permanent
Paris representatives with rank of
ambassador to implement the
principles and recommendations of
the three wise men," and invited
the secretary general to draw up
specific proposals for council con-
sideration in following through on
the report.
Passages from the report itself
show the vigor of its authors and
the extent Of the commitment the
foreign ministers made.

die East issue with which the
United Nations is faced.
Also there is the question of
Cyprus which is considered to be
part Of the Middle East in the
strategic-if not the geographic
sense
And beneath all these contro-
versial issues lies the enormous
problem Of helping to develop the
backward, poverty-stricken econo-
mics Of the Middle East with its
desperate need for dams. industry,
capital and modern technology.
How to solve these problems
without creating jealousies, resent
ment and ill-will or stirring up a
war is considered here to be a
challenging diplomatic mission Of
Herculean proportions.
For example, II the United States
favors Britain in the Suez Canal
dispute 1t will antagonize Egypt. II
it ships arms to Syria it will arouse
suspicious in Israel If it favors
Algerian independence it will alarm
France.
All these and other delicate tasks
can be accomplished, observers here
believe, but 1t will take the highest
calibre Of diplomatic maneuvering
TO make 1t q success.

"the modern techniques Of psyche

Certainly Israeli efforts to influ.

Quoted has been limited to telling
the truth" about Israel, by beaming
to the Arab countries coldly cerebral
Arabic translations Of the Hebrew
news broadcasts normally trans
mitted by Kol Israel The limit Of
the Jewish propaganda effort has
been to intersperse those broadcasts
with Oriental music.
1t seems not to have occurred
either to the single-minded David
Ben-Gurion or to the able 41-year-
old Chief of Staff, Moshe Dayan,
that battles might be obviated or
at least postponed by intensive
propaganda.
No serious effort has been made.
for instance, to exploit such obvi-
Gus propaganda material as the
equality status enjoyed by the pros
porous community of some 100000
Arabs residing in Israel, 1t is a
bitter joke that the only two places
in the world where Arabs can vote
freely for candidates and ideas OF
their own choosing are Israel and
the General Assembly of the United
Nations.
Forty Israeli Arabs attend the
Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
Six Israeli Arabs are members of
the Knesset. 1t should not be too
difficult for Israel to hold up be-
fore its Arab neighbors the vision
Of a better life under more re-
sponsible leadership than they now
enjoy.
Admittedly. Israel's resources are
limited and propaganda costs
money. Every budget dollar must
be judiciously apportioned to pay
for development, defense and
maintenance of the Israeli econ
omy. But the states resources are
not so limited as to make 1t neces-
sary or advisable to neglect psy-
Geological warfare. particularly, the
younger Jews contend, in q histori-
cal context in which war as an in

Israeli contemporaries is at
least partly responsible for the
emergence of Egypt's Canal Abdel
Nasser from his Sinai defeat as a

although the major responsibility
must rest with Western support Of

grieved party in the Suez clash.

"three wise men" assert a concept
of NATO development that might
provoke long debate in the Senate
of the United States:
1.-The fundamental historical fact
underlying this development is that
the nation state. by itself and rely
ing exclusively on national policy
and national power, is inadequate
for progress or euen for surDival in
the nuclear age. AS the founders
of the North Atlantic Treaty fore
saw, the growing interdependence
of states. politically and econom-
ically as we'll as militarily, calls
for an ever-increasing measure Of
international cohesion and CO.
operation. Some states may be
able to enjoy a degree Of political
and economic independence when
things are going well. No state.
however powerful. can guarantee
it's security and its welfare by ma
tional action alone.
This basic fact underlies our
report :" Emphasis supplied)
The Recommendations
To insure adequate political con-
sultation, the three wise men"
suggested that individual govern
ments make it IAN integral part Of
the making Of national policy"
They added that without this the
very existence of the North Allan
tic Community may be in jeopardy"
The secretary general or any
member government should have
the right to raise for discussion
ANY subject which is of common
NATO interest and not of purely
domestic character" This would
seem to invite. for instance. a
Greek request that self-determina-
ton on Cyprus be discussed.
The Secretary General is en-
powered by the report to help
mediate disputes among members
and to enlist the aid Of three
permanent representative where
necessary. He would also be al
lowed to raise in NATO issues being
considered elsewhere where progress
has been slow in his judgment.
This possibly could apply to
Frances Algeria problem. or again
to Cyprus.
Among the approved recon-
mendations were these additional
ones applying to the Secretary Gen
eral:
!. He should preside over meet
