is one in the right direction.

Little Rock SpectocIe

1t may be necessary to have legal
showdown If Governor Faubus persists
in his defiance of Federal court order
directing the indignation Of Little Rocks
high school. But, again, it may not
come to that.
The Governor, It seems to us, is
getting himself into a very uncomfort-
able situation for q politician. He has
National GuardSmen stationed around
his residence for protection against
arrest. But no one, evidently, is plan
ming to arrest him. He is beating his
breast and proclaiming that his motives
are Of the purest-to preserve order.
But the Mayor of Little Rock says it
is the Governor who has caused all the
trouble-that the local authorities could
have handled the situation without diff
1lculty If Mr.. FaubuS had kept hands on.
In short, the Governor Of Arkansas
Is beginning to look ridiculous. Perhaps
he win pull in his horns when he
realizes that, far from being a hero, he
Is making fool Of himself.

0overnment-sponsored research in sew

told the Senate during its closing days
that unless all the money voted by
Congress for medical research were re-
leased, the important flght against in
fictitious and other diseases would be
seriously set back" He mentioned the
Asian fiu threat as one phase Of the NH
research program that should not be
hampered. Certainly the Budget Blu
reau is assuming grave responsibility
in the public health field In holding back
appropriations which NH officials have
declared are vital to carry on the war
against diseases that cripple or kill.

Tod0y's Major Problem

EIeSloeuJ Eisenhower was appealing
TO the common sense" Of the Nation in
urging that buying be done "selectively
and carefully" as part Of the fight
against imitation. For there is no doubt
that reckless Spending-by Government,
industry or individuals would add
greatly to the upward pressure on prices.
Sending flood of dollars chasing after
goods and services that are not strictly
essential Is a classic way to keep an
inf1ationary spiral in motion.
Unfortunately, in the category Of
individual spending, at least. it is DIM
cult to establish any uniform measure
ment for selective and careful buying
or to guarantee any mass exercise Of
restraint In fact, the very fear or ex-
pectation of price increases tends to
lessen individual restraint. Federal Re-
serve Board Chairman Martin discussed
this problem in recent testimony before
the Senate Finance Committee. IF
prices generally are expected to rise,"
Mr.. Martin said, incentives to save and
to lend are diminished and incentives
to borrow and to spend are increased.
Consumers who would normally be saw
ers are encouraged to postpone saving
and, instead, purchase goods of which
they are not in immediate need. BUSH
neSsmen, likewise, are encouraged to
anticipate growth requirements for new
plant and equipment. Thus, spending is
increased on both counts. One Of the
baneful effects of imitation stems from
the expectation of imitation. While
price increase, in itself, may cause seri-
Gus dislocations and inequities, other
and more serious effects may occur If
the price rise brings with 1t an expec-
tation of still other increases"
AS far as Government spending is
concerned, there has been some prog
It back. Congress slashed appropriation
requests and the executive branch is
operating under orders to reduce actual
expenditures. Budget Director Brundage
has told congressional committees that
spending might be cut by 81 billion
below original estimates for this year
and Chairman Byrd Of the Senate
Finance Committee has estimated that
there might be enough surplus for a
substantial tax reduction in 1858. The
fact that tax reduction itself might be
an infiationary factor, however, was
cited by administration spokesman this
year. The attitude, and action, in 1888
may depend very largely on whether
today's major internal problem" lin
fiation) has been brought under control
during the next twelve months.

No Good for the Brain

Augustin Lara, one Of Mexico's
outstanding musicians, is obviously
wise and discerning man, at least as far
as the rock-'n'-rolI craze is concerned.
AS he sees and hears the thing, 1t is a
wonderful exercise, good for the muscle
but of little use to the BRAIN" In fact,
he has such low opinion Of 1t that he
has vowed-as a smithy Of songs that
have made him famous as his country's
Irving Berlin-never to write line Of
the stuff. After all, as he puts 1t, "T'm
a composer, not an athletic director"
Well said! What this world needs is
more professionals like Mr.. Lara. Any
how, it's sound people Of his sort who
must be counted upon to liberate us from
what he calls the "fever" of the Elvis
Presley set-an atrocity OF Lyrics" and
Emusic" too terrible even for these gen.
orally terrible and unesthetic times.
Let's hope his criticism will have some
SOLDERING effect on that part Of Tin Pan
Alley that needs 1t.

Risky Economy

Competition and Faith

Introduction OF the EdSel, the firSt
new make Of car produced by the Ma
tons major automobile manufacturers
since 1898, brings q fresh element Of
competition into one of the country's
key industries. According to the Ford
Motor Company, the new Edsel repre-
sents an investment of $3.50 million
presumably in costs of design, engineer
ing, testing, production and promotion.
Ten years Of planning and three years
Of actual development work have gone
into a car which Ford hopes will give 1t
better representation in the so-called
medium priced feld-an area In which
its Mercury alone has been bucking the
Pontiac, Oldsmobile and Buick lines Of
General Motors and the Dodge and
De Soto lines Of Chrysler. Ford's COM
petitive disadvantage, up to now, Is
reflected in statistics showing that only
about 20 per cent of its production has
been in the Mercury line, while both
GIN and Chrysler have recorded about
so per cent Of their sales In the middle
price ranges.
As it happens, Ford is making its
new bid at time when the company's
overall position has reached postwar
high. Consistently trailing GINS Chew
rolet In recent years, the Ford line has
taken the 1857 leadership In the lower
priced field, and now claims 80 per cent
of the market for all company models.
GIN, which accounted for nearly 52.8
per cent Of last years production, was
running below As per cent at the end
Of August, but repeatedly is planning
some major design changes in 1858
models to meet the challenge Of the
new Edsel and Of Ford and Plymouth
(Chrysler) in the priced field.
In one sense, this is strictly fight
among three tough and resoufceful
competitors. In broader sense, how
ever, the struggle bears out a point in
current Ford advertising-namely, that
their new venture is biased on bound
less faith in the strength of the Amer
lean economy" The automobile in
dustry has contributed much to that
strength and the currently intensified
rivalry may contribute more.

Good Radiance

It Is good that the State and Justice
Departments will henceforth have dis
cretionary authority to waive the finger
printing requirement which has here
tofore been mandatory under our iInmi-
grafton law.
In granting this authority Just be-
fore adjournment, Congress acted in
keeping with the dictates Of common
sense. Under the law in its old form,
all nonoficial foreign visitors were
obliged to submit to fingerprinting be-
fore being allowed to enter the United
States. AS result, the Soviet Union
and every other Communist country,
with the exception Of Poland and Yugo-
slavia, forbade their citizens to agree to
such procedure, on the ground that
it was demeaning and At only for GRIM
inals. This probably was q phony dis
play Of outraged feelings, but it never
theleSs had the effect of placing our
Government on the propaganda defen-
sive, particularly because Americans
travelling abroad have never been sub
jected to q comparable requirement.
From now on, in keeping with the
amendment enacted by Congress, the
Secretary Of State and the Attorney
General win be able to follow q much
more flexible procedure. The procedure
is based on the recommendation made
last year by President Eisenhower, who
has summed up his views on the matter
in these words: Although in our minds
no stigma Is attached to fingerprinting,
1t is not q requirement of travel in other
countries. We should be the first to
remove travel obstacles which hamper
the free exchange Of ideas, cultures and
commerce. Further, experience :. has
shown that this requirement does not
significantly contribute to our national
safety and security"
In effect, now that the fingerprinting
can be waived, Russia's leaders have lost
their old excuse for not permitting GER
tain groups to visit our country. They
have lost, too, handy propaganda club
against us. Good radiance to it.

cIoshing Views

In q recent column, Miss
Dorothy Thompson says that
although Nasser has been
subjected to ''unremitting
vituperations" from the West,
Israel is the real culprit, hav-
ing expanded its territory
beyond its l947 borders.
What Miss Thompson fails
to inform her readers is that
In defiance Of the United Ma
tons, the armies Of five Arab
countries marched across the
border into Israel. forcing its
defense Of territory spe-
ciflcally assigned to 1t by the
United Nations. The armi-
stice finally signed between
Jordan and Israel in 1919,
also under u. N. auspices, set
the borders Of these two
countries at the point where
fighting ceased. This armi-
stice agreement superseded
the original U. N. resolution
Of 1947.
The reason for Israel's
military Intervention In Sinai
last fall, Miss Thompson
states was to destroy the
Egyptian army, etc. She
chooses to ignore the role
Of the Fedayeen - COM
mando troops trained, equip
ped and financed by Egypt
and based in the GAIA
Strip-in the Arabs cam
paign against Israel. MUIR
derous Fedayeen incursions
into Israel played havoc with
the lives and property Of Is
raeli citizens, turning life in
the border settlements into
q nightmare Of death and
destruction.
Israel's heroic and con-
slant struggle to absorb q
phenomenal number Of jew
ish refugees, strengthen its
economic position and main
tain q military defense
against the hostile threats Of
its neighbors makes the
charge Of an aggressive at
tack by Israel against 1.-The
Egyptian army fantastic.
Miss Thompson charges
that Israel Is not an Ameri-
can ally. Aside from formal
treaties, pacts and reciprocal
relations which exist between
these two countries. their
common goals Of peace and
progress within a democratic
framework make Of Israel
and the United States nat
ural allies working In the
same cause and for the same
objectives.
