Presid mt Eisenhower ap-
peared concerned over the
developments Of The last two
days in the Middle East when
he touched on The subject in
an off -the-record conversation
with Senate and House leaders
early this week. All the same,
he expressed his hope and be-
lief that. thanks to the activ-
tiles Of the United Nations, the
situation may not become "ir-
ruptive."
His qualified optimism is not
fully shared by those outside
the executive branch of the
Government. These men are
inclined to believe that Egypt's
dictator Nasser is using the
presence of the United Nations
emergency forces as a screen
behind which he will in the
near future restore the situa-
ton as it existed before the
withdrawal of Israel from
GAIA and the Gulf of Aqaba.
and also do exactly what he
pleaseS regarding the passage
of ships through the Suez
Canal.
The official optimism in
Washington is based on the
mistaken belief that Egypt and
its Communists or anti-West-
ern supporters share our ave-
some respect for the United
Nations. The American people
have been propagandiZed in
the belief that the cessation of
hoStilities initiated by the
French British Israeli forces
last October was caused by
the immediate and determined
intervention of the United Ma
tons. The fact is that the
forces of the three nations
stopped their military opera
ton when Washington put its
heavy hand on their shoulders.

Yet Hammarskiold has en-

guilty could be restored.
First reports said "unidenti-
fed" bands did the sabotage.
This is the same camouf1age
which was used when the SueZ
Canal. itself, was blocked by
unidentified" Egyptians. But
the Communists, who are try
ing to make more trouble in
the Middle East, could easily
have been behind both these
moves.
Thus Moscow Radio was
quick to denounce the U N.
force for firing at the mob
which was threatening it in the
GAIA Strip and, since the
Soviets and the Red Chinese
both use the device Of "volun-
teers," it is plausible to sup
pose that there is something
of the same kind astir in the
Middle East.
The reports that regularly
come out of Cairo through the
press and radio seem to have
Communist inspiration and
differ considerably from what
the Egyptian government actu-
ally says in its communica-
tions to the American Govern
ment and to o. N. officials.
Now, Egypt did occupy the
GAIA Strip before the events
OF last summer and. under the
terms of the l949 armistice
between Israel and Egypt. the
right to reoccupy the GAIA
Strip Is technically vested in
the Cairo government. But,
knowing this. the U. N. Sec
rotary Generals staff might
better have waited Cor a plan
to be drawn up that would
prevent the outbreaks that
have occurred. Certainly when
the rail and telegraph COM
municationS with Israel were
cut. it indicated clearly that
this was no time to be handing
over civil administration to the
Egyptian government and that
it was much more desirable to
set up commission of civilians

Let's not forget that the

the easing of money rates will

You hear q lot Of reports,
these days. that there's going
TO be q spurt IN home building
next year.
And that all this will help 10
relieve the rigors Of an expected
economic recession.
Who knows the factsa
The answer is. as far ~ we
can determine: No one.
Economists who say 1858 win
be Q strong year for housing
are apt 10 have tucked IN. some
where. q qualification or two.
One well-placed housing ex-
pert told US today builders win
produce . million homes next
year provided the gross ma
tional product doesn't fall be-
low Sass billion In 1858.
Forecast Wen Qualified
That prediction doesn't put
him out on q limb too far. The
country's gross national product
has never yet reached sass
billion for . full year, though
for the third quarter of this
year It stood at q rate Of s439
billion.
In the last quarter OF 1865.
GIMP was at t426 billion: In the
arst quarter of 1857, It stood
at e429.l billion. and In the
second quarter it was Sl34.s
billion. The probabilities are
that for the full year 1867,
gross national product will add
up to about Sass billion for
the first time.
Thus. when this economist
predicts q million homes win be
built In 1858 II the gross ma
tional product doesn't fall
below Sass billion next year, he
presumably figures this output
is possible only II there il no

there are mighty few observers
who win say fiatly they expect
