France continued to limp along

O. Your ExcelIency, does Syria have reason
TO fear attack from Turkey?
A. Yes, definitely. Turkish troops are deployed
on the Syrian border, not in routine maneuvers
as in other years. Also additional evidence in the
possession of Syria shows that active plans were
discussed TO hit Syria from Turkey and possibly
other nations.
O. Did Syria have real evidence that United
States Embassy personnel were engaged in activ-
tiles looking toward the overthrow of the DamaS-
Gus government, as charged in Damascus?
A. Definitely. A coup was being prepared along
the lines of the Iranian coup that ouSted Premier
Mossadegh.

France, additionally "cOOnialiSt and imperialiSt"?
A. We can only evaluate United States policy

is not additionally imperialst as is Britain But

American Reply

The United States was quick to
deny the Khrushchev charges. On
Thursday. the State Department
categorically rejected the accu-
sation that Mr.. Henderson had
instructions to provoke a Middle
East war. The statement said the
charge was completely I'M
founded" and went on to remind
Russia and the world of the role
for peace played by the United
States in the Suez crisis a year
ago.
The Khrushchev warning that
a war in the Middle East could
not be confined to that area
brought this agreement from
Washington That truth should
be prayerfully and constantly
contemplated by every official of
every country"
Most significantly. the State De-
partment's rejoinder to the Khru-
shchev charges warned that the

Turkey. An attack on Turkey

Khrushchev Speaks

Mr.. Khrushchev's blunt remarks
In Moscow TO New York Times re-
porter James Reston seemed di-
rected, in the main, toward ac-
ceptance by the United States Of
bilateral talks between Moscow
and Washington. This, in itself,
was not new; Mr.. KhruShchev had
stressed several times in the past
that the basic conflict in the world
lay between the United States and
the Soviet Union. and that agree
ment between the two would end
the tensions besetting the entire
politically divided blocs.
But this time, more than ever
before. the Soviet chieftain was OBJ
viously talking as a man who
knows he leads from strength.
He was brusque but not entirely
bitter; he threatened, but not en-
tirely without qualification.
Most ominous were his COM
ments on the Middle East, where
the Syrian situation has posed
grave problems. He told his ques-
toner that the United States had
melted Turkey to attack Syria by
sending Assistant Secretary OF
State 10y Henderson to arrange a
Joint Turkish-Iraqi military
squeeze on Syria. He challenged
the United States Senate to in
vestigate his charges. And he
stated without equivocation, III
war breaks out, we are near Tur-
key and you are not. When the
guns begin to fire, the rockets
(missiles) can begin flying, and
then it viii be too late to think
about it,"
Mr. Khrushchev minced no
words in his warning that war
along the Turkish-Syrian frontier
could not be confined to that area.
He said Turkey could not last one
day in case Of war" and told Mr..
Reston: Il advise you to ask Mr..
Dulles, as a man who often appeals
to God, let him swear that he did
not give such instructions Ito ar

Wet Union for arms placed him in Russian debt
enough to compromise his independence?
A. Definitely not nor can that happen in Syria.
We wish to pursue an independent course and are
as determined to avoid commitment to the Soviet
bloc as to the West.
q. Could not military regime such as that in
Syria make deals with the Soviet that would put
the Middle East in the Soviet camp?
A. No. not permanently Popular opinion would
make this impossible for many reasons. No reSpon-
sible Arab leader would attempt this
O. Does King Saud's supposed alignment with
the West place him in equivOcal position with
the other Arab states?
A. Not as long as he places Arab unity and self
determination ahead of other considerations We
do not look on Saud as an ally of the West when
1t comes to Arab questions.
@. There have been persistent reports that Rus
sian military bases are being built in Syria. In
particular, there is supposed to be Red Subma-
rne base at Latakia Any comment?
A. Ridiculous Syria is too small country to
permit of any such secrecy There are absolutely
no Soviet military bases in Syria and no prepara-
tons whatever for attack on any nation.
q. Could Syria become Communist in internal
arrangements?
A. No. Our people are not pro-Communist;
they are only pro-Arab
O. The Chief of Syrian Army Intelligence, Col
Serial, has been described as 1.-THE man in charge
at Damascus, and has been called the "SyriaA

a tendency TO view 1t only as such.
But as the days went on and the
implications of the conquest Of
space became clearer, there was
less emphasis on science and
good deal more on power, both
political and military.
In Moscow, there was a swift
and apparently well-planned
kickoff OF campaign to take
full advantage OF the satellites
potentialitieS for Soviet strategy.
Communist Party chief Niklta
Khrushchev told an American re-
porter that the Soviet success with
missiles and the satellite made an
agreement on basic cold-war is
sues with the United States abso-
lutely essential. But the Soviet
leader was brusque: his words and
manner were those Of a man who
holds trump cards.
In Washington. an apparent Of
fetal tendency TO minimize the
real significance of the Soviet
accomplishment. observable at the
beginning Of the week. was fast
diminishing.
On Tuesday. Secretary Of State
Dulles told newSmen that the So
VETS have gained a certain prop
uganda advantage because Of

but ! don't think they have
gained much more than that"
On Wednesday. President Eisen-
hover at his news conference dis
counted the satellite as a military
factor. but he expressed concern
that the American missile pro-
gram was not further ahead"
But on Thursday the National
Security Council held a meeting
attended by an unusually large
number Of top officials. The mis-
sile and satellite program was
admittedly the topic for debate
at the closed-door session.
On Friday the President met
with his cabinet. again TO talk
about missiles and again with
heavy attendance. The same day,
the head Of the American satel-
lite project. DR.. John p. Hagen,
told the National Press Club that
the Soviet Union must possess
tremendously more powerful"
rockets than the American pro-
gram has available. He conceded
that the American project was
tagging behind its original sched-
ule. and said ut is reasonable to
assume" that the Russian satel-
lite was exactly what the Soviets
say it is, despite some early skep-
ticism as to its claimed 184-pound
weight.
Yesterday there was no ques-
ton that the administration was
ready to step up sharply the
American missile program. The
target dates for launching an
American satellite-test launch
ing Of a small sphere in December
and launching Of 20-inch satel-
lite in March-remain the same.
But the major essential. a rocket
powerful enough to get the satel-
lite into space. is obviously going
to get much more attention.

a change In conditions or a new

Developments of q sort.
The Governor. moving into the
news vacuum provided by an I'M
eventful week at Central High
School, integrated since Septem-
Der rs under the watchful eye Of
Federal troops. grabbed the head
lines with a charge that the SOL

The Governor first asserted
that soldiers stationed inside the

she believed she might be the
cause of the story denied that it
was true. Reporters questioned

dents. Gen. Walker also denied
the charge against his men.
But the most heated denial
came from the White House.

Nevertheless. Gov. Faubus re-

his charges has come. Either
Gov. FaubuS has the evidence to

felt the picture somehow gave

Pointing Up the dead-center po-
sition Of the stalemate as the

reporters that only the temporary
withdrawal of the nine Negro stu

into the Central High student

deadlock.
