NAssERs BIG DAM
Will Aswan Be Built At Last?

we talked about the reconstruction
Of Germany, I told him that Ger
many and Egypt. pSychologically
speaking. were pretty much in the
same boat. We. too. have had q
difficult start. But we saw to it
that our nation had something
to work and build for. They ought
to have let the Egyptians do alike.
A man like Nasser has set his
mind on building something great
and the Aswan Dam would have
been a fine monument for him."
At the time the Chancellor
spoke. negotiations aiming at the
formation of q European consor-
tiurn Of big industrial concerns
interested in the dam project had
already been under way for several
months.
A first inkling Of what was
brewing came late in August, 1856,
from the Italian newspaper La
Note" Of Milan, which banner
lined a report that the huge Fiat
industrial combine Of Turin had
entered into negotiations with the
Egyptian government about a
contract to build the Aswan Dam.
Accuracy Confirmed
Queried about this report, a
Fiat spokesman on August 80 con-
coded that 1t was essentially ac-
curate. He told an American
correspondent IN Turin that Fiat
was ready and willing to join
other companies in financing the
Aswan Dam project"
big undertakings Of an inter-
national character have been and
are being carried out In several
countries on the basis Of agree
mentS between companies from
various Western nations. including
Fiat" the spokesman went on to
say. according to the story.
Previously. German newspapers
and magazines had limited at the
possibility that the Krupp Works
Of Essen. possibly in conjunction
with other German industrial con-
Germs, might be called upon to
take over the orphaned Aswan
project.
These speculations gained ire
mendous momentum when 1t be-
came known. q few weeks later,
that the present head Of the
House Of Krupp. Alfred Krupp
Won Bohlen und Halbach, on Sep
TENDER 81. 1856. had conferred at
length in Turin with the President
Of Fiat. Prof. Vittorio Valletta,
and his deputy. DR.. Gianni Agnelli.
The exceptional importance Of this
near-state visit was further under
lined by the fact that Herr Krupp
had taken along with him prac-
tically his entire general STAFF, in
particular Berthold Beitz, general
manager: DR.. Hansen. head Of
the Krupp engineering division
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-08-04

("Krupp-T echnik"), and Prof.
Houdremont. financial expert.
At the end Of the Krupp-Fiat
conference. the same kind Of nom
revealing communique was issued
as usually follows in the wake Of
diplomatic meetings. Neverthe-
less. 1t did convey q hint Of what
1t was all about by referring to
unspecified "underdeveloped coun-
tries" as proper objects Of an In
tensified peaceful German. Ital-
ian cooperation"
Details in Focus
Add to all this the procession
Of Egyptian economic and tech
nical experts who have been visit
ing Bonn in recent months and the
picture falls into pretty clear
focus. One Of these visitors, DR..
Mahmoud Mustafa Ghonein, pro-
lessor at Cairo Institute Of Tech
nology, in q talk to the German
Engineering Association, pointed
out that the withdrawal of Amer
lean aid had merely delayed, but
by no means nullified, the Aswan
Dam project. He conceded that It
might now take IS years, instead
OF the 10 originally envisaged, to
complete the structure, but added
that the benefits to be derived
from this undertaking-an esti-
mated increase Of Egypt's culti-
vable area by 80 per cent-were
such as to warrant O maximum
national effort.
Besides Krupp and Fiat. who
from all indications are spear
heading the enterprise, the firms
mentioned most frequently in the
European press as prospective
members Of the International
Consortium for Construction Of
the Aswan Dam are: the Demag
engineering concern Of Duisburg;
Julius Berger AG Of Dusseldorf,
a contracting firm which has been
active in both Egypt and Saldi
Arabia in recent years, frequently
in association with Krupp; the
Swiss Machine building company
Of Buhrle (Oerlikon); the Aus
trian steel combine v. o. E. S. T.
That the negotiations must be
approaching a conclusive stage
is evident from President Nasser's
announcement in June that the
dam would be built, beginning
next year.
In this connection, the an
nouncement. made on July IS,
that the Egyptian government is
going to build a Suez-to-Port
Said pipeline paralleling the Suez
Canal also takes on added sig
nificance. For this project, which
is designed to channel through
Egypt the cargoes Of supertankers

the huge peat supply.
They soon found out that the
Soviet Unions engineers are
among the few experts in the
world who know how to use peat
as an efficient source Of heat aid

Since the end Of World War II
Mr.. Blatnik has been trying to
tap the Soviet knowahow on peat.
Just before the Korean War Mr..
Blatnik had about completed ar
rangements for q group OF Mime
sofa scientists to go to the Soviet
Union to study the Communists

the invasion of South Korea by
the Communist North Koreans set
back Mr.. Blatnik's dream.
After the Geneva summit con-
ference Of 1855 the climate i'm
proved. Still the State Depart
ment. did not give Mr.. Blatnik the
kind OF encouragement he had
hoped for.

Mr.. Blatnik and his associates
devised an alternative scheme
which the State Department ac-
cepted-an exchange between the
State Of Minnesota and the Soviet
Union. Minnesota has few metal

way. '

In his book. printed in Argen-

Trujillo will bring chaos to the
little island because Of the abb

talities for q new government to

As sequel to the disappearance

Soviet Group Arriving
This week end a five-man Soviet
team Of mining and chemical
engineers is to land in New York
and proceed quickly to Minnesota,
where they will study the States
peat problem, inspect the OPEN
pit iron ore mines, and see
taconite pellet production.
The Red visitors aren't much
interested in Minnesota peat de-
velopment. Mr.. Blatnik believes,
because they know considerably
more about 1t than the Americans.
But they intend to get their
profit from the exchange in tours
Of Minnesota's gigantic open-pit
iron-mining operation and other
projects where American mecha-
nization techniques are more adj
vanced than the Soviet Unions.
Minnesotans in the Nations
capital will tell you that this is a
classic example Of an exchange
which is one-sidedly to the Ameri-
can advantage. They do not be-
lieve that the Soviet team about
TO tour Minnesota can possibly get
as much out Of its trip as the
American team did in Russia.
This is an important switch on
the general philosophy of East
West exchanges. American off,
Gals advocate the exchanges
principally because the Soviet
Union will get more out Of them
than the United States-and
slowly come to the realization that
the free-enterprise system is in
herently more productive Of
Misunderstanding improvements
than the Communist system.

HAPPY EXCHANGE
Soviet Aid in Minnesota Really HELPS

A University Of Minnesota sci-
enlist. Prof. Ed Davis. worked out
the taconite refinement problem
first. He developed a process In
his basement for crushing the
rock in which the taconite ore
lay.
The rock came out the consis-
tency Of face powder.
Then 1t was separated from the
remainder by magnates. Some Of
the non-iron particles came along.
Of course. but the overall iron
content was high.
The next problem was to con-
vert the face powder" taconite
to something transportable. Try
ing to get face powder into the
hold Of a ship was found to be
highly inefficient. especially II
there was high wind. as there
often is on Lake Superior.
Prof. Davis came to the
rescue again with a special process
for pressing the face-powder
taconite from rock to pellets about
an inch in diameter.
These don't blow away. And
they are suitable for transporta-
ton in trucks, trains and ships.
Electric Power Source
There was still a problem, how
ever, IN getting low-cost electric
power necessary to process the
taconite from rock TO pellet.
Minnesota may be the land Of
10000 lakes, but the State is still
deficient in hydroelectric power,
or any other kind Of cheap cleo
tricity. Its electric rates are
among the highest in the country.
There is no water power. no local
coal, no fuel--except peat.
Representative Blatnik and his
university advisers set about find-

In Poland is transportation. The

tourists walk where they want to

Shopping is poor, because Po-
land still is able only to provide
the bareSt necessities for its own
people. A diligent, lucky shopper,
however, can find good buys in
handicrafts, cut glass, rugs, books
and photograph records.
Chinese Are Popular
Poles love not only Americans
but Chinese Communists. They
like us because we harbor so many
Of their relatives and because
we're just plain likeable ESQ they
told me-. Their romance with
Red China is based on a good bit
Of wishful thinking: They believe
the Chinese are remaking COM
munism in a more pleasing pat
tern and that Poland's commu.
nism may some day follow that
pattern.
They also are convinced that
the Chinese people like commu-
nism-the Polish newspapers say
so. and wishful thinking does the
rest.
The Poles believe happy life,
Chinese-style, may some day be
possible. A paradise, American
style, they believe is out of reach.
Poles respect American techni.
cal skill. but only recently did they
realize that Americans also have
a little culture.
In fact there was a true revolu-
ton in Polish thinking when the
Cleveland Symphony Orchestra
toured Poland recently Poles
knew a symphony orchestra Of
that quality could grow only on q
broad cultural base, so they de-
cided, in a great public-opinion
hip-flop, that America must be
cultured after all.
In my opinion the United States
could gain great respect all over
the world If it sent boatloads Of
orchestras. artists. writer's, singers
and dancers abroad. We don't
need to sell our technical skill or
our power to the world-the world
is already convinced. But If we
want to maintain our leadership.
we have to show foreigners, who
can boast older and more honored
cultures. that the brash young
Americans are coming along In
the arts, too.

A FATAL ANALYSIS?
Discourse on a Dictotor-Truii||o

On March 10, 1880, Gen. Tru-
jillo was proclaimed presidential
candidate and on May Is was
elected President unopposed.
Still I have not found any
complete and truthful account of
what happened toward the end Of
February. 1880. in the Dominican
Republic" DR.. de Galindez writes,
land 1t Is doubtful that q serious
historical account will ever be
found"
Gen. Trujillo emerged from the
first elections as the dominant
figure in Dominican politics and
the confederation that brought
him to power. He reorganized the
party and got rid Of the leaders
OF the confederation who did not
follow him.
THE army was clearly under
the power Of the Generalissimo
and he promptly began to use It
to quell any type Of disorder" DR..
de Galindez writes.
After his first term Gen. Tru.
jillo no longer tried to share his
powers with other elected officials.
Even today. DR.. de Galindez re-
ports. he holds undated ana signed
resignation letters from all elected
ofiicials, including legislators and
judges. When the dictator wants
to get rid Of one Of his officials
all he has to do is date the "res-
ignation" and circulate 1t.
Year after year Gen. Trujillo
continued his personal power by
eliminating parties and party
members. According to DR.. de
Galindez, some were killed, some
brought into disrepute, others
eased out quietly into obscurity.
"A Personal Dictatorship
THE government Of the Domin-
lean Republic is a great farm that
belongs to Trujillo." DR.. de Calm
DEE charges. where the constitu-
ton. patterned after that Of the
United States. is only a facade"
His is a personal dictatorship i.
better. yet, tyranny"
The Trujillo regime also is one
Of absolute nepotism. His son,
Rafael L. Trujillo-Martine (Ram-
fis), who was colonel OF the army
at the age Of S. will be the next
president Of the republic. The
Generalissimo's brother, Hector
B., is now president.
DR.. de Galindez declares New
York City police have enough
proof to convict Trujillo men of
two murders. These men have fled
to the Dominican Republic and
vanished.
The first assassination took
place on April 20, 1885. Attorney
Sergio Bencosme. secretary of war
in the Vasquez government, was
shot to death when the assassin
apparently mistook him for DR..
Angel Morales, the real target.
DR.. Morales was one Of Gen. Tru-
jillo's presidential opponents in
the 1880 elections.
The second New York assassina-
ton occurred less than five years
ago-October 2, 1862. The victim
was Andres Requena, q political
exile.
II have in my possession docu-
ments from Trujillo sources" DR..
de Galindez writes, "of a deliber-
ate attempt by the Dominican
government for the public organi-
zation Of Dominican Communist
Party.
1.-THE exiled Communists were
urged by the government to
return; and they agreed to it," he
Galindez says. to cover the bad
SMELL Of his one-party system
and show his was a democratic
government. The party was soon
