Provislens Of Proposal
The legislation proposed by
the President yesterday and
spelled out by Secretary Weeks
in the new bill would:
/. Extend from June 30, 1858,
through June 30. 1868, the au-
thority to enter into reciprocal
trade agreements.
2. Provide authority to de-
crease rates Of duties under any

years.

certain circumstances.
5. Permit the President 10

AN ARAB SEES JESUS

nr. Van Ess, the great Christian
missionary to Iraq, tells Of a sermon
preached by n Of his friends to a
group of simple Arabs. The subject
was what Jesus Is Like As he
preached and described the Maj from
Nazareth, one Of the Arabs frightened
and exclaimed, "Oh, have met him."
The missionary frowned and ex-
planned to them that Jesus lived 1900
years ago. 1t would be impossible for
anyone to meet him now.
"Oh, nc" the native insisted, Il have
met him" And upon further discussion,
it turned out that a Swedish doctor
who lived and healed and worked
among a tribe some distance away SO
fitted the missionary's description Of
Jesus as to rouse that culver Of reeog-
milton in the Arab.
Let me assure you that Christ does
live in his followers. How is he recog-
nized2 By the same characteristics being
seen in US that were seer in him-the
same attitudes, the same emotions, the
same service, the same love.
Now what was he like2 We are told
that he was sympathetic, full of pity
and closely touched by the needs of
those about him. We sing "More about
Jesus" ! suggest that we need to sing
More like Jesus" For the very word
"Christian" means Christ-like.

God, good-by, God"
The Bible tells US that God was in
Christ. That means that God is in us
when Christ lives there. And a genuine
Christian Can shout with Paul, the
greatest apostle, Christ liveth in mel"
So Jesus still moves in our world
today. He moves, speaks, works and is
seen and felt every time n Of US acts
and lives in a Christ-like way. But the
genuine essence Of this Christ-likeness
comes from within. 1t is very wearisome
to try to be like Christ, whether from a
moral or ethical outward compulsion.
The stimulus must come from within.
And it can only come from within
when Christ himself lives inside.
| believe in a personal knowledge
and experience Of receiving Christ. Just
how it happens or when it happens is
not always easily defined or explained.
But the essential thing is that Christ
must Be invited and when he is invited
he always enters.
The greatest miracle on this earth is
for Christ to live again in the lives of
his followers. This is what is known
as a "saint"-one in whom Christ is
felt and seen to live again.

With q Grain of Salt

There seems to be more fanfare
than anything else in Red China's an
nouncement that it will withdraw all
Its troops from North Korea by the end
OF the year. These troops are the "vol-
unteers" who were sent across the Yalu
River after the United Nations had
shattered the aggression of the puppet
Pyongyang regime. If they are actually
going to be pulled back into Chinese
Communist territory, that will be in
teresting, but not necessarily very sig
nificant.
After ALL If it takes place, such a
withdrawal will involve only relatively
short trip, and it could be reversed
quite quickly That is one reason why
the comparatively small American and
other outside U. N. forces in South Korea
are not likely to rush into similar pull
back. If they did, they would have to
travel many hundreds of miles, over the
seas, to places like Okinawa, and any
such move would give the Communists
a distinct military advantage in the
event of another Korean blow-up.
Still, again assuming that Peiping's
announcement may be taken at face
value, the news is intriguing enough to
make one wonder whether the Commu-
nists will in time agree to let the people
OF Korea-north and south-reunite on
the basis OF genuinely unfettered cleo
tons. Certainly, If they ever assent to
such an arrangement, there will be rea-
son for general rejoicing. Meanwhile,
though, despite the story about Red
Chinas troop withdrawal, the free
world must be excused If 1t feels pro-
foundly skeptical.

1t Might Have Been Worse

The Great Snowstorm of 1858 was
bad enough, but there is some consola-
ton in the thought that things might
have been worse. Certainly the storms
effects would have been worse but for
the good work during the emergency Of
the city's snow-removal, police and
traffic forces.
Special praise is due Sanitation
superintendent Xanten'S staff and rank
and-f1le personnel for their persistent
and tireless fight to clear the snow, first
from the main traffic arteries and then
from other streets. These men battled
the driving snow and biting winds all
day last Saturday and continued the
struggle Sunday and into this week. At
times 1t was losing battle, as drifting
snow returned to cleared streets, making
1t necessary to do the job all over again.
But men and machines gradually made

New Segregation Move

There Is some ambiguous language
In the message which Governor Almond
has sent to the Virginia Legislature
urging enactment of still another mas
sive resistance" law. It seems to us,
however, that the net effect of the new
bill is to deprive localities of the little
freedom Of choice which had been left
to them in connection with the school
indignation issue.
Under existing law a county, such
as Arlington, where indignation has been
ordered by Federal court, could elect to
obey the order at the price of losing all
State financial assistance The new bill
eliminates even this freedom of choice.
Under the new bill an integrated school
would be closed by the Governor and
State financial aid for that particular
school would be cut off, OF course, this
money loss would be of little Importance
If the school had been closed. The
school board and the local governing
body could petition the Governor to
reopen the school. Under existing law
he would have to comply with such a
request from either local body. Under
CAAC PAOPOoCO IlCW law, IIlc OOVSTIlOE
would be given discretionary authority
to grant the request or to keep the
school closed.
If this bill is passed it's probable
effect would be to minimize the loss Of
State aid, while increasing the danger
that schools will be shut down. In
short, it tightenS the Governors grip
on every city and county in which in
tegration has been or may be ordered.
This may serve to check integra-
ton for while, although the Governor
is apt to find himself in difficult po-
sition when he assumes responsibility
for frustrating court order. The real
evil in this plan, however, arises from
the prospect that schools will be closed
In communities which want to keep
their schools open. Let this happen on
any significant scale, and the men in
Richmond may yet find themselves
reaping the political whirlwind.

Roadway and Washington began to
return to normally.
Meanwhile trafac authorities and
police were trying to cope with the
transportation crisis. The cooperation
they obtained from the White House
in the plan for reducing automobile
traffic was very helpful in averting
major traffic jams of the sort that have
developed in the past. So the city has
survived the emergency in extremely
good fashion. And when one reads of
the king-sized tieupS in Baltimore and
other Eastern cities 1t becomes apparent
that Washington met the crisis remark
ably well.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Foreign Trade Held Vital to Nation
By GOULD LINCOLN

The importance Of Ameri-
can foreign trade in our own
economy and In our resist
ance to world dominance by
Com m unist Russia was
graphically set forth by Sec
rotary Of Commerce Sinclair
Weeks Monday before the
House Ways and Means Com
mittee in support Of the
Eisenhower administrations
bill to extend the Reciprocal
Trade Agreements Act for
a f1ve-year period. In a ma
jor manner, Mr.. Weeks has
taken the offensive in the
battle the high protectionists
are waging against this meas
sure and their efforts to re-
strict the Presidents powers
to deal with foreign nations
for the adjustment Of tariff
duties on imports, quota limi-
tations and other restrictions
which may hamper our trade.
The Secretary of Com
merce has presented q pic
ture, which is both convinc-
ing and rarely given, of the
Importance of this country's
business with other nations.
The exports Of manufactured
products. raw materials and
foodstuffs in 1857 exclusive
OF military aid reached the
staggering total Of $l9.5 bill
lion. highest in the Nations
history. Mr.. Weeks showed
also that during the same
year imports in the same cat
egories totaled e13 billion.
These figures show convinc-
ingly the relationship Of for
eign trade to other segments
Of our economy. Further
more, our foreign trade pro-
vides livelihood for at least
as million American work.
erS, or about Z per cent Of
our labor force, Our exports
of goods and services repre-
sented about 6 per cent of
the Nations output. In other
words. the value Of United
States goods sold abroad in
1856 exceeded the value of
all consumer purchases of
automobiles, parts, and &C.
ceSsories in this country. Also,
about 9 per cent Of our en-
tire output Of movable goods
was exported in 1856. For
example. we exported IL per
cent Of our machine tools,
l9 per cent of our production
Of trucks and 26 per cent Of
our construction and mining
equipment.
Farm Exports Greater
Mr.. Weeks did not deal in
detail with ou1' exports of
agricultural products. but he
said Secretary of Agriculture
Benson would give the COM
mittee examples OF even
higher export percentages for
farm goods"
Mr.. Weeks emphasized the
t2ct that before l953-bepin-
ming a five-year period-it
had been impossible to make
such an estimate of the grow
ing Importance Of foreign
trade to America. Before that
time. he said. World War II
and the Korean War had dis
torted world trade. But in

nomic conditions have be-
come more normal it has been

An Old Friend Returns

things haven't changed much. He is
still the old pro when it comes to whack-
Ing the Republicans and he has lost
none OF his talent for taking practical
approach to political embarrassment
There is not much point in dwelling
on the former Presidents comments on
the Republicans when the reporters met
him at Union Station yesterday. One
might say that his partisan comments
were routine-juSt a warm-up for the
big show Saturday night. After all, the

ever, Of the manner in which Mr.. Tru-
man handled the embarrassing question
what did he think of the announce
ment that Governor Faubus would at
tend the dinner? There have been re-
ports that some of the Democratic big
wigs are wringing their hands over this
prospect, fearing that the specter of
Little Rock, and the Democratic Gov
ernors connection with 1t, might con-
vert their whoop-it-up party into some
thing OF wake. But Mr.. Truman took
the question in stride. Governor Fau-

dinner-just like any other Democrat"
This was the reaction of man who
knows his politics For the worst thing
the Democrats could do would be to give
the cold shoulder to the Arkansas Gov
ernor-and thereby focus the spotlight
on him. Mr.. Truman is fully aware of
this, and this is an awareness which
marks the difference between the men
and the boys in the Democratic family.

Disturbances Abroad

After reading of the very
disturbing developments in
North Africa and the Middle
East, l think the time has
come for decisive, clear-cut
action. Something must be
done to correct the situation
before it gets entirely out of
hand and suits the strategy
OF the Kremlinl The barba-
rouS and illegal attack on
Sakiet-Sidi- Youssef has re-
suited in serious rupture of
French-Tunisian relations;
Nasser'S proclamation of in
tentions following the eStab-
lishment Of the new United
Arab Republic leaves little
room for optimism in Arab
Israeli relations: open hostil-
ity within NATO ranks has
been the final result of the
Greek Turkish riots on Cy-
prus. Clearly, serious consul
tation between the powers
concerned is needed now. If
the West is to present any
defense at all against the
Establishments Of the Sino-
Soviet bloc.
AS a remedy for this dam
gerous dissension in the free
world, / offer the following
suggestions to preserve peace
full co-existence between Eu-
rope and the Turco-Arab
Middle East:
/. That France allow Al
geria to federate as @ semi
autonomous state with Tu-
nisia and Morocco. providing
for close socio-economic ties
and limited political union
with France. Under this plan,
the three powers would guide
Algeria into self-government
within a 5 to 10 year period.
In this way, friendly rela-
tons would be fostered be-
tween the Arab and French
worlds.
2. That Israel open infor-
NAL talks with its less hostile
Arab neighbors. Iraq, Iran,
Lebanon. Jordan and Saudi
Arabia. to settle their mutual
disputes. particularly the Pal

Washington newspapers are
to be congratulated upon
the excellency of their service
in more ways than one dur
ing the present SnowStorm.
Sunday morning the little
newsboy was the first to
break through the deep snow
on my 50-foot walk, as he
came trudging in with the
paper in his hand and snow
nearly to his hips, but hardly
a minute behind his usual
schedule.
Then when I opened The
Star. I was surprised at the
excellent coverage of the
storm, and wondered how the
reporters got around to get
the news and pictures. For I
remember how 1 had waited
for a bus for nearly an hour
the evening before and then
was stranded en- route home
for another hour until a bus
better equipped for the storm
could be called and come to
our rescue.
So my sincere appreciation
for those who got the news
to the papers and those who
took the papers to the homes!

"The Lord also spake unto

children Of Israel, saying,
Appoint out for you cities Of
refuge. whereof 1 spake unto
you by the hand of Moses"
Joshua 20:i-20
Since May /, 1871. the Gen.
trail Dispensary and Emer-
gency Hospital has been a
place Of refuge to hundreds
of thousands of residents of
the District of Columbia
whose lives were in peril
from accident. disease and
crime.
This place of refuge was
initially established by six
public spirited physicians
who gave their services gra-
tuitously to relieve the dis
tresS OF the sick and injured
OF the District. Many gen.
erous citizens contributed
time and money to assist
these doctors in this great
enterprise.
AS early as 1895, DR.. Sam
