ambitions it can hardly be doubted that
the people of Syria and Egypt-now
Joined as single nation in the United
Arab Republic-Stand overwhelmingly
behind him as this time. No other con-
cluSion can be drawn from their vir-
tually unanimous vote in support of the
merger OF their countries under arrange
ments that endow him with dictatorial
power
Because of its resemblance to the
tremendously one-Sided balloting that
used to take place in Hitler's Germany,
and still takes place behind the Iron
Curtain, there is disposition in some
quarters to regard this vote as COM
pletely fraudulent. But reports from
objective on-the-Scene observers indi-
cate otherwise. Actually, especially in
view of the great emotional drive behind
the idea of Arab unity and in view also
OF Colonel NaSSer'S immense current
popularity in Syria and Egypt, there Is
every reason to believe that only small
minority in either country is opposed to
the UAR or his leadership.
What remains to be tested now, of
course, is President Nasser's ability to
carry out his promises to put the new
nation on the road to bright future.
Although he has been granted almost
absolute one-man authority, he faces an
extremely difficult task. AS the smaller
part of the republic, Syria and its mil
lion people are geographically cut or
from Egypt and its "a million people. In
addition, since they have lived apart and
had different traditions over the long
years of the past, and since neither has
much to offer the other in the form of
material goods, these merged countries
will have to surmount some very high
psychological, political and economic
hurdles before they can hope to prosper
as a unified state.
Even so, whether or not it succeeds
in solving the big problems before it,
the UAR unquestionably constitutes
historic development of great potential
Importance in terms of how the Arab
world may evolve. President NasSer and
Syria'S leaders have been doing business
with the Kremlin and following line
generally hostile to the West, and that
is certainly cause for worry. Yet the
fact that they have outlawed the Com
muniSt Party suggests that they may
work out policies designed to head of
further Soviet penetration in the Middle
East. If SO. then there should be no
serious friction between the new repub-
lie and such comparatively provost
ern neighboring states as Saudi Arabia
and the federation just established by
Jordan and Iraq.
But this is situation in which out
siderS can do little more than make
guesseS or wait and see. All anybody
can be sure of at the moment is that
the entire Arab world is in ferment, and
the West can only hope that the UAR's
leaders, together with those of the
Jordan-Iraq union and other states in
the area, will be able to direct that fer
ment into the right channels-toward
peace of kind that will insure freedom
and promote mutual economic better
ment,

Good Deeds

yOklIlBS ny YOUNGSTERS, Ia
like to tell your readers about
a couple of modest young
sters who saved my husband
life during the storm.
Unable to get up a sharp
incline near our home, we
parked our car at the bot
tom; my husband told me to
go ahead, since he couldn't
walk fast uphill. We soon
lost sight of each other in
the storm.
Hardly had I opened my
door before a neighbor came
to tell me a couple of boys
had brought my husband to
the lobby downstairs, and
that he was in need of a
doctor. He was taken into a
neighbours home, but no doc
tor could be gotten for him.
However, medicines h elpe d
revive him.
The neighbor told me those
boys found my husband on
the road. put him on their
sled and brought him to the
apartment unit. / turned
around to thank the boys, but
they'd left.
My husband suffered a heart
attack some months ago and
has been careful since. IN
fortunately, he didn't realize
the hardship of walking up
hill in a raging snowstorm.
While not heroic in nature,
the quick and kind behavior
OF those boys merits the
praise Of all citizens. Need
less to say, my husband and
! are grateful to those boys.
We tried to reward them,
after we learned their iden-
tity. They refused to accept
money. I'm proud to give you
/. the names of those young
sters, in hope their unSelfish-
ness will be brought to the
attention of the proper au-
thoritieS:
Fred Sou worth, 4538

Mrs. RhOda C. Sedlow.
A word of appreciation APP
pears to be in order for the
efforts of members of the
various local hot rod" clubs
during the late record-break-
ing snow storm. Their ac-
tlvitieS were such as to dispel
any unfavorable image the
public might have of "hot
rodders" as reckless, pave
ment-burning adolescentS.
On Saturday afternoon, at
the height of the storm, this
writer, coming off Rock
Greek parkway a. Cathedral
avenue in a small-sized for
eign car. found himself hope
lessly begged down and I'M
able to move. At this point a
passing car stopped and the
driver produced a tow chain
with which he was able to
drag my Car to level ground
at the top Of the hill. Before
hurrying of to help another
stranded motorist. my bene-
factor explained that he was
out that day for the sole
purpose OIL helping drivers
who were in trouble. Queiied
further. he explained that he
was a member of a local
"hot rod" club, and that the
members of his and other
such clubs were attempting
TO prove that hot rodders"
are sober and responsible
citizens. and that it is only
a small minority who are
responsible for the actions
which have given hot rod
ders' in general a poor and
undeserved reputation.
To one erstwhile stranded
motorist who might other
wise still be struggling to
get his car up a snow clogged
incline, the point has been
well proved.

Councilman John Rausch said
that he would not oppose tax
increase if it were necessary. He
said that he was in favor of rails

the town at the level the citizens
want. The other three councilmen

comment.
Rausch, however, disagreed
with Millions statement that past

that without the tax cuts the city

Fink points out, women thrive on attention, feel
emotionalIy insecure when they think they aren't
getting their share Of il. Thus wife may start
row simply as a means Of gaining her share Of
attention. And while this drastic method doesn't
exactly contribute to domestic harmony, il does
achieve the desired effect.
z False. Despite the fact that it's the wife who IS
usually depicted in cartoons as hurting vase at
her husband. or smashing up the crockery. in real
life it's more apt to be the husband who IS given

strated BY psychological studies at the Hartford
