Nosser Interview

Desmond Stewards inter-
view with Nasser can Init
mate Personal Portrait of
Nasser") raises a few ques-
tons. Nasser talks about
blood thirsty Danton or
Rooespierre and expresses
disgust at blood-shedding and
cruelty. Is Nasser less cruel
and brutal? Is there any
political freedom in Egypt?
The fact is that Nasser has
eliminated his opponents by
either shedding their blood
or throwing them into desert
prisons. A few years ago he
executed seven leaders of the
Moslem Brotherhood; he de-
posed General Naguib and
put him under close super
vision and he filled Egypt's
prisons with politicians who
opposed him. Sara X. Evans.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

III mace a lOud nummlng
dive at him, forcing him to
bow low to the earth beneath
him.
AS the big one few over
and away with a loud hum.
Jones came back up again.
This was not exactly the
best introduction to a search
for beauties in the garden.
but he was an old hand at it,
and knew that better things
were in store.
They were.
The big bumblebee came
back. and this time he
struck.
Old Man Jones was not
spry enough to get out Of the
way this time.
This time, the big old
bumblebee sank his snout or
whatever it was into Jones
left forearm.
4 4 4
The two marks left by the
critter did not seem to swell.
nor was there any itching,
for which Jones was glad.
But within 10 minutes,
there was an increasing
numbness in the arm from
, the wrist to the elbow.
"Pshaw," said Templeton
Jones, or some word to that
general effect.
The mosquitoes we're bad,
too. They came at Jones in
what seemed to be waves.
and nipped him here and
there, in the spaces between
the insect repellent spots.
Mosquitoes have an I'M
canny instinct at selecting
just such spots. even though
the repellent is put on with
a spray.
After IS minutes Of this
search for beauty, Temp
Jones was glad to give it up
for the time being.
He thought. as he withdrew
to the house, that maybe he
had better wait for a moon
light night, just as his Gal
thersburg correspondent said.
He needed something lovely
to the ears, to take his mind
off the numbness in his left
arm, and the itching Of the
mosquito bites.
He wondered If mosquitoes
let mockingbirds alone, or if
they somehow manage to
bite them, too? Maybe that
is what makes some Knockers
so mean, so deft at kissing at
cats, so determined to Keep
other birds away from food
they do not want them
selves.
VERY human, these mock
ingbirds," said Temp Jones
to himself, as he started to
soak his arm in hot EPSON
salts water.

Our Social Problem

1t seems to become more
evident daily that a large per-
centage of our colored popu-
lace is suffering from an in
feriority complex and that
their recipe for shedding this
unhappy cloak is to force
upon white people situations
not Of their own choosing.
A news item on September
II lends credence to this
premise. The Durham. N. c..
Merchants ASsocia ito n
(white) has annually for
many years staged a welcome
for new students at Duke
University (also white). The
students at Northa Carolina
College (colored) in Durham
have voted to boycott all
members of the merchants
association because the firms
do not stage a welcome for
their new students also. The
boycott will continue until a
satisfactory agreement is
reached at the negotiating
table" How silly can the COL
ored people get?
The Star of September II
told Of the closing of the Po-
lice Boys Club summer camps
and seven of the nine oper-
ating local clubs. OF the some
1900 members to suffer as a
consequence approximately
10000. or 70 per cent. are col
ored boys.
This unfortunate action is
directly attributable to the
pressure of the NAACP for
integrated clubs and the
yielding to that pressure by
the Commissioners in prohib-
iting solicitation for operat-
ing funds by members Of the
police force.
1t is probable that IS per
cent of the money used To

Archaic Codes

Sylvia Porter's and Elmer
Roessner's recent articles
lambasting many building
codes as senseless and archaic
may have merit, but "the
pendulum can swing too far"
also Up until recently, I
would have gone along with
this idea, but when my sew
er line failed and 1t cost me
1915 to replace it. I am FOR
taking a long second look at
any drastic changes in build
ing codes. A few years ago,
I built a house and the plum
Der giving me the lowest bid
said he could save me plenty
If I would let him install fiber
sewer pipe. He sounded like
Miss Porter in selling me on
the fiber pipe. Well, / agreed.
Five years later the pipe
collapsed. Why? Because the
material did not contain ade-
quate crush strength" When
the men dug up the pipe, it
was fiat. Carefully examining
the pipe. it looked like it was
made of paper impregnated
with asphalt. The plumber
who replaced the pipe with
cast-iron pipe said he has re-
placed many of these fiber
lines.
Arlington's code officials
sure bought a bad product.
l understand the fiber pipe
has since been removed from
the code but l also understand
that the fiber pipe institute
is putting plenty of pressure
to get it reinstated. Don't do
it Arlington. Cast-iron pipe
would not have failed.
l agree that building codes
need to be revised periodically
but let's stick to test data and
let's not be influenced by the
present trend of thinking that
all codes are senseless and
archaic. Anthony H. Flores.

He Bites Back

Two Star writer's, William
S. White and Burton Haw-
kins, recently Joined the
Islander Madison Avenue"
group.
Both contributed - inno-
Gently but insidiously-to I'M
dermining In the public's
mind Of the advertising and
public relations profession
a vibrant and creative indus
try without which the wheels
of today's industry could not
turn.
Condemning advertising
and public relations tech
niques appears to be the
thing to do" in newspapers
and magazines these days,
and some columnists seem to
feel they have a right to Will
fly a whole profession through
ridicule and sarcasm-when
their job is to interpret facts
in the news.
II they want facts to re-
port on, MeSsrS. White and
Hawkins should know that
more than $40 billion was
spent in advertising last year
to reach the consumer with
sales messages. It is also a
fact that advertising and
public relations builds indus
trial strength, speeds re-
coyery and strongly affects
sales.
As for Mr.. Whites obser-
walton that the administra-
ton has changed from the
soft sell" advertising APP
proach to realities" he
should be reminded that ad-
vertising and public relations
are more dependent than any
profession or industry today
on believability and reality
in order to catch a busy con-
sumer's attention at all.
Furthermore, M ADDISON
Avenue" has no technique
whereby 1t creates advertis-
ing and public relations that
makes. peril look like secu-
rity and losses look like gain"
Advertising and public re-
lations have repetition, yes;
but deceit, no!
If Mr.. White wants to be
of real service he can take
the lead in urging the admin
istration to use more pro-
fessional advertising and
public relations techniques in
selling United States foreign
policy at home and abroad.
Mr.. Hawkins imaginative
fantasy on Madison Avenue"
versus sports reveals a shock
ing lack of appreciation Of

Soldiers Plight

I am presently in the Army
and I have only recently
been told that / must pur-
chase the new Army green
uniform. My problem is that
I will be leaving the Army on
october 81, 1858. The wear
ing of the winter uniform
becomes effective the second
Monday in october in the
D. C. area, so there would
actually be seven days that I
would be able to wear this
uniform.
The case put forth by the
Army is that l have been
paid $4.20 per month for
approximately 20 months for
repair and upkeep of the orr
ginal uniform issue. People
entering the Army on or after
July /, 1857, were issued this
uniform at no cost to them
selves along with an olive
drab uniform: they have also
been receiving 1920 per
month. 1t is true I was issued
two olive-drab uniforms.
However, I am being COM
PEELED to purchase another
uniform while these people
are not.
Upon getting out of the
Army and returning to civil
ian life I have no immediate
prospects of a job. ! also
have a wife and child to sup
port. and the $34 that I must
spend for the green uniform
could very possibly be used
to a better advantage.
There are a lot of soldiers
affected by this, and I can
only hope they will express
themselves as have taken
the liberty of doing.
Is this justice for a soldier?
You have printed other let
tiers about the morale of the
Army. Does it look as if it is
about to improve in the near
future? Billy T. Cash.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Adams Out, With CoIors Flying
By GOULD LINCOLN

several OF PRESIDENT Essen
hower's old friends in the
Army - Gen. Alfred M.
Gruenther, now head of the
American Red Cross, or Gen.
w. Bedell Smith. Or, 1t has
been suggested. the President
might turn TO his former
chief political lieutenant, for
mer Republican National
Chairman Leonard W. Hall.
1t is reasonable to expect
that the President will make
known his choice quickly.
Indeed, he may already have
made 1t, although Mr.. Adams
apparently did not tell any
one OF his decision TO resign
until he actually handed in
his resignation.
No Proof Of FayOrs
The Democrats who have
bounded Mr.. Adams undoubt-
eddy will continue TO seek to
make political capital of the
A d a m S = Goldflne incident,
which disclosed gifts and hos
pitality bestowed on Mr.. Adj
ans by the Boston Industrial
list. Bernard Goldfine. They
still, however, have to prove
that Mr.. Adams either sought
or obtained special favors for
his friend, Mr.. Goldfine, at
the hands of any Govern
ment agency.
Those Republicans who
have also bounded Mr.. Ad-
ans with their demands that
he resign or be cast out Of
the White House by the Pres
ident may rejoice and breathe
easier as the time approaches
when they must stand for re-
election. Whether Mr.. Ad-
ans resignation will aid them
is anyone's guess. Some will
say. particularly should they
be defeated, that his resigna-
ton came too late. But they
could be abili seekers.
Mr.. Adams does not go out
of Office turning the other
cheek. In his broadcast he
slashed hard at the House
investigating committee which
has tried to pin q badge
of corruption on him. He
charged that the commit
tee took part in a calculated
and contrived effort to dis
credit him. AS part Of this
effort. the committee, he said.
received completely ire
sponsible testimony" and.
without conscience, gave ear
to rumor, innuendo and even
unsubstantiated gossip"
He said, too, that a cam
paign of villitlcation had been
waged against him by those
"who seek personal advantage
by my removal from public
Office" Ears should nave
burned in some high quar-
tiers when Mr.. Adams made
this statement.
1t is no secret, however.
that Republican candidates
for Office, particularly those
Republican members of Con-
gresS up for reelection. have
brought enormous pressure to
force Mr.. Adams out-prob-
ably 80 per cent of them, al
though most of them have
not publicly gone to bat. The
results of the recent Maine
election and the Democratic
sweep there brought a new
eruption of demands from
them. They should be salts
fled. But Mr.. Adams is re-
firing with his colors flying.
and with the respect of the
President of the United States
and many, many others.

Mr.. Jones was inspired by
this letter to go out into his

there.
The first thing he did was
to run into a big humble

Sherman Adams reSlgna-
ton as Assistant TO the
President brings TO an end
a devoted service by prob
ably the most hard working
and efficient official in the
Eisenhower administration.
In an unusual Nationwide
broadcast by television and
radio, Mr.. Adams succinctly
gave his reasons for his re-
tirement. They are. impor-
tant and entirely unselfish:
First, his desire TO make
sure he shall not in the
slightest degree interfere
with the consummation Of
President Eisenhower's pol
icies and program and his
world leadership as well as
his leadership in the United
States. Second. his desire to
leave no possible stone in
the path of his party-the
Republican Party-in its
campaign to regain control
of Congress.
Even with these reasons
for withdrawal, it was a
tough decision for Mr., Adams
to make, knowing as he did
that no scintilla Of proof of
influence peddling-of which
his enemies have accused
him-has been produced. Mr..
Adams statement of retire
ment-irrevocable, as he put
twas made with no hint Of
apology and without any his
trionics or breast beating. 1t
was the statement of a man
completely secure in the be-
lief in his own honesty. Mr..
Adams did not resign months
ago-when the clamor first
arose for his ousting-be-
cause, as he said, such a res
ignation would have been
seized upon as a confession
of guilt. His resignation now
leaves no intimation of guilt.
He is stepping out of office,
not only with his own con-
science clear, but also with
the emphatic Endorsement of
the President, expressed in
the warmest terms.
Not Easy to Replace
After Mr.. Adams-what?
The former member Of Con-
gress and Governor Of New
Hampshire will not be easy
to replace. He has served in
effect as chief of staff in the
White House Setup. He also
has been the man to say
NO" when mos" had to be
said to importunate Con-
gressmen and to others seek
ing favors or interviews with
the President himself. Mr.
Adams is entirely familiar
with the vast number of gov
ernmental problems which
constantly confront the Pres
ident. No other man can ster
into his shoes easily, for Mr.
Adams has a background OF
five and a half years as the
Presidents principal White
House assistant. Further
more, he has gained the
Presidents complete conf
dence.
Weeks before his actual res
ignation, speculation as to
who his successor might be
got under way. Reports had IL
that former Attorney Gen.
eral Herbert Brownell, jr.
was being groomed for the
job. More recently the talk
has been of Fred A. Seaton
Secretary of the Interior; Of
