Concern Over Suez

While the u. N. and Israel look
for compromise. the core Of the
Middle East problem-future con-
troll and use of the Suez canal
remains unsolved.
Direct talks on the canal, seized
last July by Egypt's President Ga
NAL Abdel NaSser, collapsed last
October. about two weeks before
British and French forces invaded
Egypt.
Last week. U. N. spokesman for
Britain and France pressed anew
for early resumption of negotia-
tions under U. N. auspices.
Western Europe. now feeling the
worst OF the economic pinch
brought about by the blocking of
the canal, is fearful that Col. Nasser
will bar British and French ship
ping when the canal is partially
restored to use in mid-March.
But Mr.. Hammarskjold reported
ly feels that nothing can be ac-
complished in U. N. talks with
Egypt on the canal problem until
Israeli withdrawal from all Egyp-
tan territory. Then. the U. N.
chief believes, the Egyptians will
negotiate. using him as an inter-
mediary at least in the beginning.
Even while the U. N. was pressing
Israel to comply with the with
drawal resolution, reports persisted
that Soviet activities in the Middle
East were increasing.
The rumors have it that the
Soviet Union is not only replacing
the immense losses suffered by the
Egyptian armed forces in the Israeli
invasion. but is also directing the
construction of strategic air bases
in Syria near the Turkish frontier.
Inability to verify the reports. the
State Department said. made a for
NAL protest impossible at this time.
But the stories cannot be dis
missed" Press Officer Lincoln
White added.

The Presidents mention OF Gov
eminent controls may have been
aimed at jolting business and labor
into a more determined resistance
against further price-wage in
creases. No sympathy for controls
can be detected either in Congress,
where the decision must be made.
or in the administration. Indeed
Secretary of Commerce Sinclair
Weeks followed up the Presidents
remarks on the subject of con-
trolls the next day with a rather
emphatic statement that he saw
mo need" for any such restraints.
1t is on the record that Mr..
Eisenhower himself has-or once
had harsh opinion of economic
controls. He expressed it this way
on February 2, 1858:
The greet economic strength Of our
democracy hos developed in on otmos-
phere Of freedom. Direct controls =.
deol not with the reoi eouses Of inflo-
tion but only with its symptoms. :.
They hove proved largely unsatisfactory
ond unworkoble. They hove not pre-
vented infIotion: they hove not kept
down the cost Of living"
The record of controls In the
Korean War bears him out. In
the control years 1851 and 1852.
average manufacturing wages rose
faster and higher than in the two
previous years. and the consumer
price index behaved similarly.

The Shadow Of Initiation

In the % months between March.
1855. and the end of 1856, prices
and wages ran a dizzying race that
resembled a dog chasing his own
tail.
The price Of automobiles climbed
an average of 8 per cent; mems
suits. per cent: the cost of serv-
ices. 5 per cent. and housing, more
than 3 per cent.
Wages in the same period jumped
an average of is per cent for steel
workers, 10 per cent for textile
workers. 8 per cent for building
trades workmen, Is per cent for
meat packing and allied workers
and 5 per cent for auto workers.
These advances contributed to
what economists call "inflationary
pressures." which are now causing
serious concern in the Eisenhower
administration.
Threats of imitation have plagued
man almost since he invented
money. In the old days of dis
covery in the Western Hemisphere.
: it most often was caused by sudden
and unexpected increases in the
supply bf gold and silver from the
New World. Today, its causes are
more complex. They include such
forces as expanded credit. soaring
consumer demand, a tight labor
supply. a spiraling Of prices and
wages. (See story by Herbert
Bratter on Page A-27.)
Infiation-within reasor-can be !
a pleasant experience, particularly
for those whose incomes are ad-
justed to the upward spiral. In
fact sometimes it is hard to dis
tinguish from stable prosperity.
But out-of-control imitation can
work extreme hardships and strain
the economy to the point where
boom plummets to bust.

Satisfactory Visit

While an unenthusiastic Senate
moved slowly toward action on the
Eisenhower doctrine" for the Mid
die East, the administration con-
graduated itself yesterday on what
appeared to be q major gain.
King Saud ibn al-Aziz Al-Saud of
Saudi Arabia wound up state visit
to Washington which was described
by State Department officials as
very satisfactory" Now, the for
eign policy architects hope. he viii
take to his fellow Arab rulers
favorable report on what the doc
trine seeks to accomplish.
In the communique issued Jointly
by the King and the White House
Friday. the Presidents proposal was
referred to in general terms. But
the statement indicated no concrete
commitment on the part of King
Saud beyond his assurance ''that
he welcomed every step that pro-
notes the United Nations principles
Respecting independence and SOW
ereienty Of states and self determi-
nation Of peoples"
Much more definite was a FIVE
year extension of the agreement
permitting the United States to
maintain an air base at Dhahran.
In return, the United States has
agreed to supply military equip
ment, services and training" to the
Kings armed forces. This accord
repeatedly pledges assistance toward
a doubling of the Saudi Arabian
army, now consisting Of $4,000 men,
and provision for modern heavy
tanks and jet planes.
The Saud visit to Washington
took on something of the aspect
Of an Arab conference during the
week. Iraq's Crown Prince, Abdul
nah, and Lebanon's Foreign Minis
ter Charles Malik, also in town,
talked with King Saud on Middle
East problems. The Iraqi prince,
whose Hashemite dynasty is tradi-
tionally hostile to that of Saud,
was noncommittal on his CONVERSE
ton with the King. But in a pre-
pared address at the National Press
Club, which an aide read for him,
the prince indicated firm support
for the Eisenhower doctrine. Mr..
Malik praised King Saud as "real-
istic, level-headed and practical"
and hailed the Presidents proposals
as starting "a drift away from
neutralism" in the Middle East.

been under considerable pressure to
ease restrictions in the present
emergency.
Last week a joint Senate Public
Lands and Autobiography Com

duction. And the Justice Depart

swooped down on the rooms Of sus-

And Joseph Cardinal Mindszenty,

by the official press of using the
sanctuary of the legation for "po-
litical and subversive activities"
Officials of the legation promptly
denied that the prelate was abus-

Automotion Another Problem
The development Of automation,
with machines taking over tasks
formerly performed by men, has
intensified inter-union rivalries.
Machines reduce requirements for
production workers, who in the
automobile industry are represent
ed by the JAW. and increase the
need for more highly skilled me-
chanics, who are enrolled in the
craft unions.
Introduction Of the guaranteed
annual wage or supplementary UNI
employment benefits in the automo-
bile industry also has tended to
intensity the union jurisdictional
problem. Manufacturers contract

was apparently hiding the letter."
'No doubt" said the Star, ''he will
live to regret his apparent attempt
to suppress it."
Gray has repeatedly contended that
the tax subsidies to Idaho Power Com
pany meet his agency's requirements.
One is that the subsidized project be
operating by December 81, 1858.
Yet on March 7, only a few weeks
before ODM's decision, R. P. Parry,
Idaho Power attorney, told the Sen
ate interior committee that one of
the two dams wasn't scheduled for
operation before 1861. The firms
president, T. E. Roach, made the
same statement in a speech this
month MAY 16).
Gray testified that he has letter
from Idaho Power, dated April 10,
saying that the company intends to
have Oxbow operating by 1858. Gray
said he has no reason to doubt this.
He said he can cancel the tax write
offs ''for fraud or Misrepresentation
but doesn't feel the company is guilty
of either.
Senator Wayne Morse (D-Ore.)
said Seaton's letter was Clearly very
embarrassing" to Gray.
"The White House staff and Gray
decided to put the lid of secrecy on
it," Morse explained. He renewed
his charge of Shocking political i'm
morality" With White House aides
involved, Eisenhower "should start
cleaning house, because the case leads
right to his door," Morse said.

$112,161 To Be Distributed To
Counties In Land Use Funds

MISSOULA-Treasurers of twenty
counties in Montana and western
North and South Dakota will soon re-

Of the total amount, $112,161-or
about SO per cent-will be distributed
to 10 Montana counties in Eastern

In making the announcement re-

Tebbe said that these rehabilitated

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
Congress may consider canceling the
tax subsidy that government agency
gave Idaho Power Company to dam
Hells Canyon, Senator Styles Bridges
(R-N. H. revealed, May 27.
Under heat from Senate subcom-
mittee, Republican leaders discussed
the deal with President Eisenhower,
Bridges said. He is COP policy COM
mittee chairman.
Some who favor a high dam IN
Hells Canyon saw his statement as a
tactical administration retreat to
shore up dwindling opposition to the
high dam itself. Others thought
Bridges might be turning COP sena-
tors loose to vote as they please when
the Senate considers the high dam
in early June. Only two Republican
senators bucked terrific White House
pressure last year and voted for the
dam.
The Senate subcommittee learned
that Interior Secretary Fred A. Sea-
ton advised against granting fast tax
write-offs to Idaho Power. He wrote
Gordon Gray, defense mobilization
chief who granted the subsidy, March
II. In two days of testimony, Gray
had not mentioned Seaton's letter.
Brought back before the Senate
group, Gray was surprised when Sen
ator Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.) read
the letter. "The fact is, DR.. Gray, you
had no intention of producing this, !"
Kefauver charged. Gray admitted he
had talked with "the White House"
about Seaton's letter but, again claim
ing executive privilege" refused to
give the committee details.

1866. The increase is due primarily
to increased mineral leasing activity
in the past year. Heretofore, grazing
has been the principle source of in
come. but in 1856 minerals took the
lead to produce approximately 62fo
OF the total revenue from these LU
lands.
According to Mr.. Tebbe, the lands
are being managed with the co-opera
ton of 81 local grazing districts and
associations. Total income from the
lands in 1856 from grazing use was
$324,597.27; and from mineral use,
principally oil and gas lease rentals,
was 1851, 1,893.87. Miscellaneous uses,
including haying, cropping, forest
products and easements, accounted
for the remaining income, amounting
to about go of the total.
The law providing for these pay
ments to counties earmarks the money

Good Diets Would Boost
u. S. Milk By 900

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
Generally, people in the U. S. don't
get enough calcium or vitamin G,
National Research Council finds.
These are the most common diet de-
ficiencies.
If every family drank enough milk
to get the calcium it needs, the de-
mand for milk would rise 9 %. If each
family ate enough citrus fruits to
supply its vitamin C needs, demand
would rise go.
AS President Roosevelt said in
1886, one-third of the nation was
"ill-fed." By 1948, only one family
in 10 had a poor diet, NRC says. Flour
enrichment, higher wages, better food
marketing, and nutrition education
were mainly responsible.
Since 1948, city families have i'm
proved their diets very little, NRC
finds, though they're spending one
fourth more for food than in 1948.
Without surprise, NRC finds that
poor people have poor diets. Of fami-
lies with $2,000-$3,O0O annual in
come, 424o don't get enough cal
cium. In the ,000-$5,00O bracket,
only 279o of the families had a cal
cium deficiency.
