IL must be hoped that President
Nasser Of the United Arab Republic
EGYPT and Syria) Is worldly-wise
enough 10 take iattery with a grain OF
salt, or perhaps with some OF those
after-dinner tablets that are supposed
TO help the digestion so much. For he

fulsome stun fed 10 him. on a very Law
ish scale. during his i7-day sojourn In
the Soviet Union, and Premier Khru-
shchev has been particularly generous
In serving II up,
Thus, among other things. Mr..
Khrushchev has hailed the founder Of
the UAR as "the outstanding leader Of
all Arab peoples" and he has told him
in "selfiess and fraternal" spirit-that
he can count upon receiving the Krem-
Inns unstinted aid In his efforts to unite
those peoples under Cairo's brilliant and
fearless supervision. OF course, coun-
tries like Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan and
Saudi Arabia have quite different view
Of the matter, but the Soviet Premier
apparently feels that he can safely
ignore their sentiments while playing up
to the emotional appeal of "Nasserism."
AS for Mr.. Nasser himself, 1t is not
clear whether he is vulnerable to being
buttered up or whether he is sufficiently
sophisticated TO recognize sham for what
1t is. On the face of things however,
he appears to have been hoodwinked
and dazzled to a considerable extent by
Moscows deferential treatment. At any
rate, as II to express his appreciation for
the nice things said about him in the
USSR, he has joined Mr.. Khrushchev in
signing a communique that seems to
commit his United Arab Republic to the
bleak essentials of Soviet foreign policy,
which may be summed up as a program
designed to divide and disarm the free
world and make it the undisputed oyster
Of the Kremlin.
Perhaps this does an injustice to
Mr.. Nasser'S perSpicacity. After all, up
to now, he has displayed great deal Of
shrewdness in his handling of interna-
tional affairs, and his present dalliance
with the Soviet Union may be merely
kind of bargaining posture calculated
to persuade the West that it ought to
deal with him in a more accommodating
manner. Still, the mere fact that he
has entered upon such dalliance, which
includes plans for a big Khrushchev
visit to Cairo, suggests that he may have
swallowed the Kremlin's bait-naively,
hook, line and Sinker.
But President Nasser is back in
Cairo today, and maybe-if his head has
really been turned by Soviet fiattery-
some important people there will per-
Suade him to give further consideration
to the dangers of bundling with Moscow
or seeming to be less neutral than he
claims to be. In any event, the Ameri-
can-led West, which might find it wise
to be bit less frigid toward him, will
be watching with the keenest interest
now that he has spent so much time
in the USSR-to see how he conducts
himself from this point on.

'Mude-Up Rift?

The recent Moscow and
Yugoslavia split seems to
have us all wondering what
is happening between these
two countries. Why has
Prime Minister Nehru sud-
denly dashed out against the
attempt of Khrushchev to
force Yugoslavia into an
unadulterated satellite role?
Why did Nehru during the
early days of the Hungarian
rebellion give silent approval
to that Russian slaughter.
and later come out openly
making excuses for Russia's
actions? Why is it that Neh-
ri IS per cent of the time
gives support to Russia
against the West? Nehru is
not a Communist. nor a capt.
talist, but one thing is sure.
He is no friend of the West.
It all seems so obvious
what this pair. with Nehru's
help, are trying to do. Mr..
Tito and Mr.. Khrushchev are
both dedicated to commu-
nism and all the American aid
to Tito has not changed that.
Anyone can see by the U.N.
voting record of these two
countries over the past ten
years that Tito is a puppet
of Moscow. American aid
has not changed Tito's views
about religion and the perse-
cution Of good Christians.
They want this country to
spend more billions, they
want us to believe, as we did
before, that we can split the
Communist bloc by taking
advantage of this made-up
rift with more military and
economic aid to Tito. In a
war between East and West
you'll find Tito right where
he belongs. on the side of
communism. Let's not fall
for this again.

Nothing could be less true.
Real estate men not only
should but do serve in many
public positions in our coun-
try. No one has ever said
they should not. For exam
pie. j. Ingram Medley. a
highly respected and success
full real estate man, is chair

respected and successful real

State Board of Public We'll
fare and has given up his
time and money to many
worthwhile community prof.
ects. This is both right and
good. and no one has sug-
geSted otherwise.
Naturally. regulatory agen-
cies such as the State Real
Estate Board. the State Board
Of Medical Examiners, Board
of Architectural Review.
Board Of F yamining Engi-
neers, and so on, are required
by law to have on them men
of experience and knowledge
in their respective fields.
Their duty is not only to
regulate the various profess
sions and specialized occIlpa-
tons. but to pass upon the
Aeligibility of people to enter
such occupations. This is
both right and necessary.
And public commissions
should and do have the right
to call upon experts for ad-
vice and counsel in deciding
questions in specialized fields.
The Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission recently
brought in an expert to adj
wise it about the projected
water needs of the county IN
the years to come.
Our position is simply this:
That public agencies such as
the Park and Planning Com
mission whose business It is
to determine what land shall
be given to industrial. com-
mercial, apartment, residen-
tial or farm use should not
have on them people who
themselves are in the bust
ness Of specializing in, buy
ing, selling or developing
land. The decisions of such
agencies affect not only the
beauty Of the county but
drastically affect the value
Of real estate. Surely no one
should be called upon to
strain his integrity and OBJ
jectivity by the necessity of
choosing between his own
pecuniary interest on the one
hand and the public interest
on the other. 1t is not an
answer to say that no Off
cial would vote on any mat
ter that affects the value Of
his own land. He should not
be put in a position where
he would have to abstain.
