In fact, a leader of one of the
parties which opposed his with
drawal decision said privately
that a reversal probably would
enhance the old mans prestige. "
The reasoning was that a change
in policy would put Mr.. Ben
Gurion in step with general
Israeli sentiment.
"Can Ride Out Any Storm"
Peretz Bernstein. leader of the
General Zionist Party, the most
effective opposition group, be-
lieves Mr.. Ben-Gurion's position

permit him to ride out any
storm. Mr.. Bernstein said, how

alition.
Mr. Bernstein did not rule out
the possibility that his party,
which has advocated preventive
war since announcement OF
Egyptian President NaSser S
Communist arms deal, would
Join the new coalition.
Mr.. Ben -Gurion's position
seems so secure at present that
there is no speculation about a
possible successor. Mr.. Ben
Gurion is 20 years old and has
already retired once from public
life. He resigned as Prime Nun
lister in December, 1858. went to
work in a kibbutz collective
farm in the Negey Desert. The
growing Arab crisis brought him
back to public life in February
1885.
Retirement Not Considered
/ After one retirement it doesn't
seem unreasonable to an out

for the chance to do it again.

to do with his age. 1t is said he
thought the Israelis were going
soft after a few years Of in
dependence and that he wanted
TO become a national symbol of
Spartan endeavor by working on
a desert farm. There also is a
guess that he wanted to get a
few ideas off his chest which he
couldn't express as Prime
Minister.
Now the ideas have been ad-
vanced and Israel is being forced
by events TO stay tough. So no
one can think of any reason why
Mr.. Ben-Gurion should retire
again.
When he returned to the helm
in 1855. Mr.. Ben-Gurion brought
with him a new policy Of mill
tary intimidation of the Arabs.
He wanted, through use of army
raids, to force the Arab states to
lay off Israel.

Mr.. Ben-Gurion has had a
bigger personal hand in Great

had in fathering his. Just for
few highlights:
AS a young immigrant to
Palestine. kicked out Of Poland
for revolutionary activity, Mr.
Ben-Gurion helped organize the
first Jewish collective settlement
and the first Jewish defense or
ganization. He led the fight TO
restore Hebrew as the national
language of Palestinian Jews-a
language then as dead as Latin.
He organized two political par
ties and a great national labor
federation. Histadrut. He led
the world fight for the creation
OF the Jewish state and, when he
officially announced its forma-
ton, became its first Prime
Minister and Minister Of De-
Tense. Then he led the victorious
war against the Arabs.

Praises Ike For

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(NFU)-
David Lawrence, publisher of u. S.
NEWS & WORLD REPORT and ma
tionally-syndicated newspaper col
umnist, reports that President Eisen-
hover has decided to force the ma
tional economy into a recession in
1858.
Lawrence praised this plan, declar-
ing:
"Only one thing is going to stop
the initiation and stabilize the pur-
chasing power of the dollar for a
while and that's a recession. This
means some unemployment. 1t will
perhaps also halt the use of 'escala-
tor clauses in labor contracts, be-
cause as living costs go down, wages
will have to drop and that's unpopular
with the unions. 'Escalator' clauses
have been likened to the human elbow

up.

justment' sometime in 1858 -
Lawrence said the tip-off that Eli
senhower is planning to cause a re-
cession was his order to all govern
ment agencies to cut their spending
regardless of the amounts authorized
by Congress. The columnist remarked
as follows concerning the Presidents
directive to hold down government
spending:
''For it is certain that as govern
ment spending is substantially cut,
the wheels of the nations economy
will be slowed down, and some unem-
ployment will be created and wage
and price levels will be held steady -
Unemployment in the u. S. is in
creasing. The official total of un-
employment in June was 1887, 900,
which is nearly half million higher
than June year ago. This amounts
to about so of the labor force.

protecting fish, game, wilderness
and scenic values for future genera
tions involves a greater burden of
responsibility than simply opposing
the projects which threaten those
resources.
Until recent months few conserva-
ZIONIST groups had voiced support for
alternatives to Bruces Eddy or to
other potentially destructive dams in
the middle Snake Basin. This is partly
because the recommendation of alter
natives would have involved them in
the bitter struggle between public
power advocates and private-power
groups, struggle in which Hells
Canyon has been the grand prize. The
opposing ideologies here do not neces-
sarily bear any relationship to the
sound management of natural re-
sources. While some political leaders
are classed among the country's lead
ing conservationists, as a group, con-
servationists are not politicians in
the Republican and Democratic style.
They are inclined to shy away from
a political brawl. So in the partisan
battle over Hells Canyon they had
tendency to stand on the sidelines
while the politicians fumbled the ball.
Throughout their long fight against
Bruces Eddy, the position of conser-
vationists has been one of principle.
They have protested any congression-
al action to approve or finance con-
of the 570-foot barrier until
studies have been completed to show
what the effect will be on fish and
This is a sound position. They
are now optimistic of winning-at

Congress Ends
Tax Write-Off
Gravy Train

WASHINGTON, ID. C.-(CNS)-
Congress has quickly written an end
to fast tax write-offs. The program
gave giant corporations uncounted
billions of dollars in benefits and
drained nearly SIS billion from the
U. S. Treasury since the Korean war.
Without a single dissenting vote,
the House sent the bill to President
Eisenhower, August IA. This was only
two days after the Senate passed the
bill. also without dissent.
Under the bill, the flood of fast
tax write-offs will become a trickle
on August % and dry up entirely on
December 81, 1859. Between these
dates, Office of Defense Mobilization
can no longer let firms charge off the
cost of new plants and tools in five
years, unless
The firm will use the new equip
ment to make new or specialized items
for the Defense Department or Atom
ic Energy Commission and these
items can't be produced in existing
plants; or
The firm will use the new equip
ment for atomic or defense research.
Critics have belabored fast tax
write-offs for years. In 1852, Sem
ate committee called it ''the biggest
government bonanza that ever came
down the pike EX-Treasury Secre-
tary George M. Humphrey said it
cost taxpayers too much money,
though his own firms have benefited
heavily.
Lately, Senator Estes Kefauver Cd
TENN focused criticism on fast tax
write-offs that ODM gave Idaho Pow
er Company for two small, run-of-the-
river dams on the Snake River. In |
its fight to preempt the Hells Canyon
site, the company repeatedly said it
needed no tax help.
Two years ago, electric coop lead
ers explained to an amazed Senator
Harry F. Byrd (D-Va.) that fast tax
write-offs are really interest-free
loans from the U. S. Treasury. 1t was
Byrd's amendment to minor House
tax bill that closed the flood gates.
Since the Korean War, thousands
of firms have secured tax subsidies
for railroad cars, coal mining equip
ment, natural gas pipelines, power
plants, merchant ships, fertilizer fac
tories, and other investments having !
no unique defense use.

Mckay went further in statement
before the Senate Civil Functions
Committee. He put it this way:
"I think the project at Libby is
probably the most important project
in the Northwest because it is a rea-
sonable cost and it firms up the
Columbia River upstream as we'll as
the lower Columbia. AT the present
time. the only thing on the lower
Columbia is Bonneville. The Snake
River installations (since eliminated)
ultimately would firm up McNary
and The Dalles, but Libby would firm
up all of them"
Despite this strong endorsement,
the application has languished before
the six-man IJC while Canada went
ahead with studies of development
plans which could shut off the water
of the Kootenai in the U. S.
Proposed diversions of the Koo-
tenai north of the border could cut
the average annual flow of the river
at Libby Dam site by more than 70
per cent, thus making the project
unfeasible.
Until recently, one of the three
U. S. Commissioners has been ex-
Governor Len Jordan of Idaho. Late
last fall, he wrote Senator Mansfield
in part as follows:
"The feasibility and desirability of
the Libby project would be greatly
reduced if Canada decides to divert
the upper Kootenay, Therefore, it is
essential that we know whether or
not Canada intends to divert these
flows, and in what manner, before
we can safely make a decision to go
ahead with the Libby project at ALL"
Jordan recently resigned from the
Commission and President Eisenhow-
er appointed Mckay to succeed him.
Metcalf, stern critic of Mckay as
Interior Secretary, said there is zone
good thing about the appointment to
