UNEASY RETIREMENT
Soil Bank Is 46 Per Cent Efficient

from the standpoint Of reducing
the size Of the farm plant. the
Government is paying an average
Of about $50 an acre.
OFarmers cut this years corn
acreage about 7.241,000 acres or
per cent from 1855: wheat about
4,l24,000 acres or 81 per cent:
cotton about 2,124,00 acres or Is
per cent; rice about 478.000 acres
or about rs per cent. and tobacco
about 100000 acres or "a per cent.
But these decreases have been
Offset in part by increases in a
number Of other crops not covered
by the soil bank or by the produce
ton controls that govern wheat,
corn, cotton, rice. peanuts and
tobacco.
The increases include 5000 900
acres or Is per cent for soybeans:
grain sorghums 4805, 900 acres or
nearly rs per cent; barley 100000
acres or nearly per cent: flax
seed $4,000 acres or about 9 per
cent, and lesser amounts OF acre
ages for large number OF minor
crops.
Some SurpIuses Moy Be Cut
Production estimates indicate
there is a possibility that some
Roadway may be made this year
in reducing SURPRISES Of cotton
and wheat. But the corn over
supply situation may not be i'm
proved because Of the prospective
increase in production OF COMPETE
tive livestock feed grains. such as
sorghum grains. oats and barley.
There also is a possibility that an
increase in soybean paintings may
toss this crop into the surplus
troubled group.
The future Of the soil bank will
be determined by its accomplish
ments this year. On this both the
administration and Congress are
agreed.
But how will its failure or sue
cess be judged? II 1t is judged on
this basis Of the net overall re-
duction in acreage. 1t faces trou-
bic. II IL is judged on the basis
Of production volume. the result
might be q little different.

For some years now the United
States has been taking a propa-
ganda flogging from the Soviet
Union over the law requiring visit
Ing aliens to be flngerprinted.
In one Of his more effective
cocktail party statements, Nikita
Khrushchev, the Kremlins first
among unequalS. asserted the
Soviet Union could never" over
look the American flngerprinting
requirement. He told one of the
few American idols in Russia, vio-
linist Isaac Stern. 1T is a require
ment for criminals. 1t is degrad-
ing. 1t is a shame. None of our
people will ever 60 to the United
States II they have to be finger
printed"
Last January, President Eisen-
hover told Congress in a special
immigration message:
Zone Of the obstacles to trovel and
q hindronce to the free exchonee OF
ideos and commerce is the require
ment in the present low thot every
alien who opplies for q visa or who
comes to the United Stotes without
visa but remoins for as much as 80
Days Be finserprinted. In some foreign
countries finserprintins is regarded with
disfcvor. Locking any significant con-
tribution 10 our netionA sofeb and
security, the Low should be amended
to eliHinots the requirement Of finger
printing for aliens coming TO the
United Stotes for temporary periods"
After this plea, the House I'm.
migration subcommittee voted to
continue the fingerprinting pro-
viso for nationals Of Communist
countries. There is some hope.
however. that pro-administration
forces may be able to get a new
batch Of immigration amend
ments, including one dealing with
fingerprlnting, out onto the floor
this session.
The Reasons for II
Why do some Congressman want
to continue fingerprinting?
First. Justice Department and
State Department security officials
concede that fingerprinting does
provide one additional check on
an individual. and thus somewhat
reduces the chance that an alien
dangerous to our security might
be admitted to the country.
Second. the fingerprinting re-
quirement reduces the influx OF
aliens by an undetermined
amount. And there are those on
Capitol Hill who think this is all
to the good.
Third. Uncle Sam would lose
certain amount of face by giving
in on the fingerprinting require
ment. Such move could be taken

BEIRUT, Lebanon.-Is there a
growing Communist penetration
in the Arab countries? How strong
are the Communist parties there?
Do they threaten present political
regimes? What can be done to
stem the growth of Communist
power in the Middle East?
These and related questions
are becoming more urgent as EVIL
dence increases that Soviet in
fuence and power have entered
the Middle East to stay. The
historian notes that Nikita
Khrushchev has succeeded in 60
ing beyond the point of Russia's
maximum advance in this region,
reached over a century ago by
Nicholas I. Whether or not the
present Russian penetration could
be stopped, as it was in the 1840s
by the concerted powers of the
West. depends in great part on
a new and decisive factor: The
indigenous Communist and pro-
Communist forces in the Middle
East working in favor of Russia
and against the West.
information Is Sketehy
Any serious analyst of the con-
temporary Middle East would hes
itate to give final and definitive
answers to the crucial questions
stated above. We know far more
about the Communist parties and
Communist activities in Italy and
France than we do Of, for in
stance. those of Lebanon or Jor-
dan.
This ignorance is due partly to
paucity Of reliable data and partly
to the fact that methodology and
approach are mainly based on ex-
periences with European commu-
nism. The primary cause, how
ever, is that in the Arab world
today one is dealing with a So
ciety in flux in which social and
political motivations and actions
are neither constant nor always
reducible to simple definition.
Hence If we proceed from the
general to the particular, we may
reach the following preliminary
certainties which should be at the
basis OF any serious examination
of the nature and extent of Com
munist penetration in the Arab
world:
In those states in which society
is still based on the patriarchal
Socio-political structure of medic
val Islam, communism can strike
root only in two ways-by a rad
ical social revolution from within
or through the importation of
sizeable numbers of foreign per-
sonnet. The states to which this
is applicable are Saudi Arabia,
Yemen. the Persian Gulf shiek-
doms (Kuwait. Bahrain, Qatar)
and Libya. We can safely say that
in these countries no danger of
an indigenous Communist move
ment exists.
Conflict Is Avoided
1t must be Immediately stated
that it is not Islam as a religious
doctrine that constitutes a barrier
to the rise and spread Of COM
munism. Communism in the Mid
die East (and in other Asian and
African countries) proclaims it
self not as doctrine with an ALL
embracing view of man, society
and the universe, but simply as a
liberating political movement. AS
such, the actual deep contradiction
between communism and Islam
does not even arise in any real
sense in the feverish political
atmosphere Of the Arab world.

A byproduct Of the June shake
up in Russia'S Communist HER
archy is a broad new program to
revitalize the Soviet economy. It's
success or failure may turn out to
be more important in the long
range East-West struggle than the
more apparent foreign relations
results of the upheaval.
The immediate aims Of the eco
nomic drive are Cd to step up
agricultural production, particu-
larly Of meat, dairy products and
protein grains, and (2) to increase
Industrial production and broaden
its base sufficiently to provide a
higher standard Of living to the
Soviet peoples.
American diplomatic officials and
students of Soviet developments
see four possible results of great
meaning to the West If the am
bilious program succeeds:
. An easing of internal preSsures
inside the Communist orbit as con-
ditions of life become less rigorous,
standards improve. and production
OF consumer goods rises.
. A consequent improvement in
the stability and popularity of the
Moscow regime as restleSsneE and
undercover protest is minimized.
. An important increase in So
Wet prestige abroad, particularly
among the ''neutralist" nations of
the world. themselves striving for
industrialization.
Most important, q diminishing
threat Of war because realization
OF the economic program will re-
quire a prolonged period of peace
and relative tranquility, and addi-
tlonally because eased internal
stresses and strains accompanying
higher living standards will blunt
q historical tendency Of any de-
prived population toward military
adventure.
Long industrial Drive
The Soviet Union, since the
coup of 1917 that overthrow the
Kerensky democratic regime and
installed the Bolsheviks in power,
has driven inexorably and with
little regard for human conse-
quences toward effective indus
trialization. In the 40 years since.
Lenin and his little band of dedi-
Gated Communists seized power in
Russia, it has transformed itself
from a backward, semi-feudal,
agricultural nation into a modern
industrial giant.

COMPROMISE IN SIGHT
Should We Fingerprint Foreign Visitors?

as an admission of a past error.
Why does the Administration
want to stop f1ngerprinting?
First, the national security
would be little affected. President
Eisenhower says fingerprinting
makes no Significant" contribu-
ton to "our national safety and
security" 1t is said that finger
prints Of visiting aliens usually
don't get TO the Justice Depart
ment for checking until long after
the visitors have toured the coun-
try and left.
A Coin in Stature
Second. discontinuance of
fingerprinting would have prop
uganda value. Far from losing
face. it is said. the United States
would gain stature for admitting
a mistake. and making a reason
able adjustment. The Soviet
Union would be deprived Of a val
liable propaganda item.
Third. the Soviet subterfuge in
using our fingerprint requirement
as device to regulate travel of its
nationals to the United States
would be unmasked. The State
Department is convinced the
Kremlin wants to keep a tight
rein on the broadening Of East
West contacts. Moscow would be
forced to admit that fingerprint-
ing is not the principal obstacle
for travel Of Soviet citizens to this
country.
Fourth, the controls over Com
munists would not be entirely
lifted. other regulations still pro-
vide for a thorough check on visi-
tors. Tourist visa applications re-

munist Party membership and

butzniks or collective farm

Syrion BuiIdup Watched
But the big concern in Euro
pean chancelleries at the moment
is the magnitude of the Com
munist buildup in Syria. Anthem
ticated reports from Latakia and
Damascus tell Of the recent ar
rival on Syrian airports of one
12-plane squadron of Soviet MIG

Der Of JAK trainers. The Rus
slams had already supplied, under
a $75.000,000 commercial agree
ment" in 1856. four squadrons of
MIG-15s.
Syria's total fighter strength is
put at $50 planes.
Intelligence reports indicate
that the Syrian pilots are having
difficulty in learning to fly the
fast. tricky Soviet aircraft and at
least four have cracked UP in
recent days during training
flights. Nevertheless. the grow
ing Syrian air force is rapidly
swinging the military balance in
favor of the Cairo-Damascus axis.
The ISraelis are concerned
about the mounting strength.
equipment-wise. of the Syrian
army. 1t has now received
enough tanks, mobile 59mm and
85mm guns. armored cars and
transport to equip a second arm
ored division. The one now in
being also is equipped with Rus
sian and Czech weapons.
Much of the material has been
received under a 5000, O0O, 900 con-
tract with Czechoslovakia. The
weapons coming in now, it is UNI
derstood, are those acquired under
a third $125.000, 900 contract re-
portedly negotiated with Russia
by President Shukri ell Kuwatly
when he visited Moscow last De-
cember. Syria shortly will have.
therefore. some $400, 900 1000 worth
of arms and equipment and that
is a lot of fighting hardware.
Language Troubles
The Bulgarians are known to
be building for the Syrians at
least one major military air base
under supervision of Soviet
engineers. but it is small comfort
to the watchful Israelis that the
work is not proceeding too well.
The Bulgarians. apparently, are
having difficulty communicating
with their Arab sub-contractors
and workers through their Rus
sian interpreters.
Since Syria is not threatened by
any of its Arab neighborSETur-
key, Iraq or Jordan-its military
preparations are plainly being
made with Israel in mind while
the type and quantity of weapons
indicate offensive and not defen-
Sive detectives. The SyrianS' main
defensive" weapons are the Jet
fighters but, at the short distances
involved, these too assume an Of
fenSive character.
Meanwhile, if the military pat
tern of Arab preparations suggest
offense. so does the emerging de-
sign Of Arab politics. Only by
blowing on the fires of hatred for
Israel can Nasser hope to re-forge
Arab unity" and regain what
measure of leadership he has lost
since the advent Of the Eisenhower
Doctrine. And the blowers are
going full blast.

can spoil meat with low water
content. Dried fish are widely
used throughout much of the
maritime world. Milk is con-
densed, evaporated, and powder
ed for safety.
Most microbes live and propa-
gate at temperatures between
about 40 F and 145 F. For each
individual species, the range is
much less than 100 F. The range
any given organism could with
stand was of much greater sign
ificance in times past. 1t was
harded to use temperature as a
controlling factor.
Within the past hundred years
man has learned how to control
temperatures in a limited way
to preserve his food. First he
produced artificial ice and ice
boxed, then refrigerators, and
now deep freezes. BY these
means he can preserve all kinds
of foods almost indefinitely.
At 40 F. foods are protected
from most microbes because the
life functions PRACTICAL ycease at
that temperature. If fresh fruits,
vegetables, and meats are quick
ly frozen so little ice crystals are
formed, the food can be protected
with almost no injury to quality,
color, flavor, or nutritive. quality.
On the other hand, the temper
allure of food can be raised to
the KILN point of the microbe
and the food sealed. This pre-
serves food for long periods.
Canning and pasteurizing makes
use of this method.
Chemical Control
Certain foods are protected
from microbes by the chemical
condition. Jams, sjellies, mar
malades, and preserves have a
higher concentration of sugar
than microbes can stand. This
inhibits their growth If there
is no growth there is no spoilage.
Salt preserves meat, fish and
other foods by making an unsat-
isfactory medium for microbes.
Acids as vinegar in pickles and
the acid in saurkraut preserves
these foods. Other foods are pick
| led for preservation.
