Work of Ankoro

Politically, economically and mill
tarily, the Ankara conference OF the
Baghdad pact's ministerial council has
done workmanlike job in behalf of
progress and security in the Middle East.
1t has done so by agreeing upon addi-
tional collective measures designed to
promote the areas material well-being
and to cope effectively with the threat
of Misunderstanding Communist ped
etration.
Thus, with the significant partici-
patton of an American delegation
headed by Secretary Dulles, the pact's
five member nations britain, Turkey,
Iraq, Iran and Pakistan) have re-
affirmed that the prime purpose of their
alliance is to safeguard the independ-
ence and peace Of the Middle East
against Red imperialism. Accordingly,
In keeping with that purpose, they have
undertaken to intensity their political
cooperation to deal with the fact that
Communist "inf1ltration and subverSion
continue to be menace and call for
constant vigilance and increased Soli-
darity." At the same time, with Mr..
Dulles promising an additional $40 mil
lion in aid from the United States, they
have agreed to speed up action on a
number of promoting economic
projects.
AS for direct defensive measures,
the Ankara conferees have decided to
take important steps toward the organ
ization of closely integrated combined
military planning STAFF and joint COM
mand. The Turkish Armys Lieutenant
General Ekrem Akalin will be the chief
of this project, and his first assistant
will be Major General Daniel S. Campbell
of the United States Air Force. Needless
to say, General Campbell's presence in
the picture serves to emphasize that. our
country, even though not formally
member of the pact, is very intimately
associated with it, In fact, as If to make
the intimacy crystal clear to the Krem-
lin, Mr.. Dulles has been at pains to
declare that under the so-called Eisen-
hover doctrine the Baghdad allies, If
they are attacked and ask for our help,
can be sure Of receiving such help in
the form of mobile armed force of great
power.
This military pledge is far-reaching.
What it means, for all practical pur-
poses, is that the United States is COM
mitted to the Baghdad allies quite as
completely as If it were one of them.
In that respect, as counterweight to
the pressures Of Soviet imperialism in
the Middle East, the pact-despite its
characteristics deterrent value of
sort that ought not be underestimate.

Explorer in Orbit

The spirits of most of the free world
seem to have scared aloft with Explorer
the American satellite now orbiting
around the earth. This, in a way, is
surprising. For there has been no doubt
that this country would successfully
launch its own satellite even Mr..
Khrushchev said so several weeks ago.
But the fact that the Russians beat us
to 1t, although the Army'S success with
It's Jupiter c rocket indicates that we
could have been first, had a remarkably
depressing effect on world opinion. From
some of the reaction one might have
thought that we were hopelessly out OF
the race. This, of course, was absurd.
1t will be necessary, however, now that
Explorer is in orbit, to guard against
undue optimism For the race is far
from over and the Russians undeniably
are still ahead in rocket capability.
But they need not stay ahead-if
this country will make the effort to
overtake them. This first satellite OF
ours weighs 30.8 pounds, and there is
talk, probably well founded, that the
Russians soon will launch third Sput-
mix weighing possibly ton. So we have
a long way to go. The important thing
now from our standpoint is to steel our
selves against a Slackening of effort
after the current wave Of jubilation
subsidies.

would buy a lot Of tea and crackers,
cocktails and caviar and even some high
calorie dinners. SO it did, no doubt, but
when divided among some 1000 Ameri-
can diplomatic officers in approximately
$50 foreign stations it represents rela-
lively austere entertainment diet. It is
interesting, too, that ten years ago
before imitation, before the chill Of the
cold war had settled over the cocktail
circuit and before Nikita Khrushchev,
for example, popularized the social stage

mats forced to tap personal funds when
it is their turn to "pick up the check"
For some of the junior career officers
this is a particularly depressing way to
finance good fellowship. Uncle Sam can
afford to do better by his boys abroad.

Our Opera

While lot of people are discussing
a worthy opera house for Washington,
a small group of people are doing some
thing about opera for this city. They
are the members of the Opera Society
of Washington and they are giving their
second performance of the season.
"Ariadne auf Naxos" by Richard Strauss
next Thursday, Friday and Sunday in
Lisner Auditorium.
The society gave its first perform
ance last year and this year it is Sched-
uling three. Although the impetus
comes appropriately from purely local
sources, the performances themselves
are entirely professional. The singers
are all well known. In "Ariadne" the
leading role will be sung by Lisa Della
Casa, prima donna Of the Metropolitan
Opera. The orchestra is the National
Symphony. Thus the quality Of the per-
formances of the Opera Society is in no
doubt.
The high standards Of the society
are nowhere more apparent than in the
operas it chooses for its productions.
"Ariadne" is one of the most admired
modern operas but has never been given
In its entirety here. other operas sched-
uled or already given include Mozart's
"Cosi Fan lutte" and Abduction from
the Seraglio" and Beethovens "Fidelio."
The society could fill the house several
times over with such popular operas as
La Boheme" and "Il Travatore." AS a
matter Of fact, Baltimore's opera society
does just that. But here the emphasis
has been on lesser known works which
the public should have a chance to
know, and which we hope the public
will support.

Questions and Answers
By THE HASKIN SERVICE,

@. What Is the difference
between the crinkled cotton
fabric called "seersucker"
and that called "plisse?"--
c. J.
A. While often similar In
appearance seersucker and
plisse are produced by differ
ent methods. Seersucker is
given its permanent length
wise crinkle by holding GER
tain warp yarns at different
tensions during weaving. The
ones that are not held taut
draw up, forming the crinkle.
Plisse, on the other hand,
gets its puckered effect after
the fabric is woven. A caustic
soda solution is printed on
the fabric. causing certain
portions Of the fabric to
shrink. The crinkle may be
in stripes or checks, or In .
patterned effect.

TIE POLITICAL. MIL
G. o. P. Seeks Unity in Key Races
BY GOULD LINCOLf

Republicans in three key
States are striving hard for
important nominations for
high ofi1ce--and incidentally
to get the COP. to work to-
gether, and not fall apart at
the seams for the benefit of
the Democrats. The States
are New York, Pennsylvania
and New Jersey. The Vice
President. speaking in New
York last week end before the
Women's National Republic
can Club, frankly admitted
disagreement between the
SOCIAL ed Eisenhower and
Taft republicans. He
strongly urged party mem
bers to be proud Of both, and
to show the Nation that they
could be progressive and still
conservative in the very best
sense Of the word"
The job in New York is to
get the upstate Republicans
to go along with the Eisen-
hover Republicans on the
nominee for Governor,
whether he be Leonard w.
Hall. former COP. national
chairman; Nelson A. Rookie
teller, former assistant at the
White House. or another. II
they don't, the Jig will be UP,
and Gov. Hartman will be
reelected.
In Pennsylvania and New
Jersey two important Senate
seats are on the political auc-
ton block. Senator Martin
Of Pennsylvania. veteran Re-
publican leader in his State,
and Senator H. Alexander
Smith of New Jersey, regard
ed as the strongest possible
candidate on the Republican
side. have both announced
they will not seek reelection
--on account Of age. Already
in New Jersey a plethora Of
candidates for the Republi-
can senatorial nomination is
on the horizon. A choice will
be made at the April Is pri-
mary.
Kean Seeks Senate
The latest formally an
nounced candidate is Repre-
sentative Robert w. Kean,
who is serving his tenth term
in the House of Representa-
tives. Mr.. Kean, a member
of the House Ways and Means
Committee, is sponsoring
President Eisenhower's bill to
extend the Reciprocal Trade
Agreements Act for a five
year period, a measure which
may be in for hard shedding;
with considerable Republican
opposition. Mr.. Kean of New
Jersey is a familiar name in
the Senate. Mr.. Kean's father,
Hamilton F. Kean, was Sena-
tor from 1929 to 1885, and his
uncle. John Kean, was Sena-
tor. for a dozen years from
1899 to 1911.
Mr.. Kean is a Harvard
graduate. During the First
World War. he was a first
lieutenant and was awarded
the Distinguished Servic e
Cross "for extraordinary
heroism," and also the Silver
Star in another action. He
was first elected to Congress
in 1888, bringing the 18th
congressional district back
into the Republican fold. He
has represented that district
ever since.
