he PinboH Story

One Portland restaurateur told
this story:
He had number of pinball ma
chimes in his restaurant that were
placed there by distributor whose
relationships with the Transfers
at the time were on the cool side.
One morning, Transfers repre-
sentative dropped in and told him
he'd have to get rid of those ma
chimes, since they were not union"
The alternative would be a picket
line around the restaurant.
The cafe owner. Horace A.
Crouch. said he told his caller,
whom he identified as Frank NAL
10y business agent of 223. that he
had long been a member of a cult
nary workers union, and couldn't
understand why Transfers would
want to picket him. The answer,
according to Mr. Crouch. was: I'VE
won't be picketing you-just the
machines"
Mr.. Crouch refused to get rid of
the machines, he testified. and the
picket line was ordered out (Sena-
tors were later told that they were
put there by an international or
ganizer of the brotherhood
AS result. suppliers refused to
deliver food and beer to his cafe,
Mr.. Crouch said When he tried to
pick up the supplies in his own car,
meeting the delivery trucks at a
prearranged spot. he said, Mr.. NAL
10y showed up and ordered the food
returned to the delivery trucks.
Words followed. and Mr.. Crouch
ended the conversation by throwing
monkey wrench at Mr.. Malloy.
Mr.. Malloy, portly man, subse-
quently took the stand, but he
couldn't - or wouldn't - enlighten
the Senators.
He invoked the Fifth Amendment
when asked about the picketing
OF Mr.. Crouch's restaurant. He
declined to answer on the grounds
that he might "intiminate" him
self when asked if he had been in
volved in certain bombings. dyna-
mitings and arson acts in the 1905.
He gave the same response when he
was asked: Did you ever have a
monkey wrench thrown at you?"
Finally, the exasperated Senator
Mcclellan, raising his voice like an
indignant jeremiah, demanded:
Don't you want to tell the TRUTH"
Again he declined respectfully.
Senator Mcclellan ordered his
staff to prepare contempt resolu-
tons against Malloy Immediately.

The Decision

Mrs. Golda Meir, Israeli Foreign
Minister. told the u. N. General
Assembly Friday that both the GAIA
Strip and the Gulf shores would be
evacuated. There were no guaran-
tees or conditions mentioned In the
Israeli statement. put Mrs. Meir said
the Withdrawals were to be made on
the assumption" that U. N. forces
would replace the Israeli troops in
both areas.
But the Israeli decision, reached
after long hours of negotiation,
did not spell the end. perhaps not
even the beginning of the end, of

French Premier Guy Mollet
wound up three-day visit here
Friday morning and the diplomatic
climate between his country and
the United States was warmer as
he departed for New York and

Premier. and discussions on specific
problems between Mr.. Dulles and

Mr. Mollet, in a speech to the

emphasized, considered the past

concerned

The Doctrine

The Senate continued to wrestle
last week with the Presidents pro-

to employ American troops. if need
be. to defend the Middle East from
Communist aggression. AS in the
week before. Senators who took the
floor to speak on the wisdom of the
Eisenhower doctrine addressed
nearly empty chamber.

largely to the issue of Israel Many

U. N. sanctions against Israel. were

Johnson called the Senate into ses-

proposals were attacked by Demo-
cratic freshman Senator Herman

right-wing Senator Jenner of Indi-
ana, Senator Russell, Democrat Of
Georgia. and Senator Byrd. Demo-

80 or 40 members. its officers were
appointed rather than elected and

a membership referendum whether

REVIEW OF THE WEEK
Break in the Sta|emate

Last october 20 Israeli armed
forces knitted across the Egyptian
borders in two-pronged invasion.
The attack was necessary, Jerusa-
lem said to protect Israel once and
for all from the constant and bloody
border warfare carried on by Egyp-
tan "fedayeen" commandos. A few
days later, whether by collision or
coincidence, British and French air,
sea and ground units attacked Port
Said and the Suez Canal area.
The attackers, particularly the
Israelis. were quickly successful.
But whatever their successes against
the Egyptians, they failed utterly
to convince outraged world opinion
of the justice of their cause. AL
most Immediately, the ponderous
wheels of the United Nations began
to move, urged along by the Asian
African bloc. the Communist ma
tions. and most significantly, by
the United States.
And in its most severe challenge
to that time, the U. N. got results.
With sharp resolutions and some
intricate negotiating by Secretary
General Dag HammarSkjo ld, Brit
sh-French- Israeli withdrawal from
Egyptian soil was arranged. In
their place came detachments of
blue helmeted troops wearing U. N.
armbands and flying the U. N. flag
the United Nations Emergency
Force.
AS the invading forces evacuated
the territory they occupied. the
UNEF units moved in behind
them. British and French troops
we're withdrawn entirely from
Egypt. but the Israelis. pulling back
in the Sinai Peninsula. insisted that
they could not leave the GAIA Strip
along Israel'S border, or the Sharm
ell Sheikh area on the Gulf Of
Aqaba To do so, said the Jeru-
salem government. would only mean
resumption of the fedayeen hit
and-run raids. and the reimposi-
ton of the Egyptian blockade of
Israeli shipping headed for the port
of Elath at the top of the Gulf.
Until last week. the Israelis re-
manned unmoving in their stand.
They would defy the U. N. they
said, sadly but determinedly. unless
there were solid guarantees that
the Gulf be kept open to naviga-
ton and Israeli civil administration
continued in the GAIA Strip.
AS the impasse continued with
Israel unyielding. it began TO look
almost certain that severe sanctions
against the Jewish state would be
imposed by the U. N.
President Eisenhower and Secre-
tary of State Dulles indicated plainly
that the United States would have
to support pressure" against Israel
unless compliance with the world
organization were forthcoming. The
Arab nations, led by Egypt's strong
man. Canal Abdel Nasser. pressed
for immediate punitive action. A
week ago. there remained only
glimmer Of hope that some means
might be found to satisfy Israeli
demands at least in part without
accepting conditions"
The Eisenhower administration,
fully coenizant of mounting oppo-
sition in the United States TO u. N.
sanctions against Israel when sane
tons had not been invoked pre-
vlOuSly against other nations. kept
the lights burning late in an IN
tense effort to effect compromise.
Initial overtureS by the President
and Mr. Dulles brought reflections
from Jerusalem. But last week. al-s
most as the Arab bloc moved to
force U. N. action on sanctions,
Israel yielded.

Last week. SIS days after its intro
duction, the administration civil
rights program for the 85th Con-
gress was approved by subcom-
mittee of the House Judiciary Com
mittee. the bottom step on the
House ladder In the Senate the
bill still was on the ground: the
pros and cons mostly Southern
cons) were being heard in a Judici-
airy Subcommittee, which plans to
continue its hearings to March S.
Senator Sam Erwin of North Caro-
lima. a member of the subcommittee,
expects to seek another extension
beyond that date.
Notwithstanding this painful
progress. Senate Republican Leader
William Knowland and House
Minority Leader Joseph Martin. jr.,
predicted early approval of the
administrations civil rights pack
age. Mr. Martin said that he
thought the House would complete
action first and Senator Knowland
expressed a hope that the Senate
would act before the Easter recess,
which begins in late April.
Proponents of the bills believe
they must reach the Senate floor by
then if they are to have any chance
Of surviving a filibuster. Other
wise, the pressure Of appropria-
tons bills and other vital matters
may shunt aside the civil rights
proposals.
Pessimism Grows
The optimism of the two Repub-
lican leaders was not shared by
other advocates of the bills. who
have become increasingly pessimis-
tic as time slips past.
They recalled that last year Viz
ginia's Chairman Howard Smith of
the House Rules Committee de-
layed civil rights legislation for six
weeks. bringing it to the floor too
late to permit subsequent action by
the Senate-even had Senate Ju-
dietary Chairman James o. East
land of Mississippi not successfully
DELAYED the bill in his committee.
They were aware also that it has
been eight years since a civil rights
bill was cleared in the Senate Ju-
dietary Committee for the floor. and
then the chairman was a Repub-
lican.
