RivcIs in the Middle East

In quick response to the SYRIAN
Egyptian merger, Jordan and Iraq now
have formed federation of their own.
The two blocs, If they may be called that,
thus appear to be challenging each other
for leadership. At any rate, at least in
the sense Of issuing competing invita-
tions to their neighbors to coalesce with
them (this excludes Israel, Of coursel,
they have set in motion rival unification
drives throughout the Middle East
Up to now only Yemen has shown
an active interest in becoming part Of
the United Arab Republic established by
Syria and Egypt under the overlordship
of President Nasser. Similarly, although
apparently not unwelcome to countries
like Saudi Arabia, the Jordanian-Iraqi
federation has been greeted with watt
and-See attitude indicating that none OF
its neighbors is likely to join it in the
near future. Among other things, Iraq's
membership in the Baghdad pact, which
is widely opposed to the Middle East
seems to initiate against any such
joining, and this fact may conceivably
have the effect of persuading Iraq to
withdraw from the alliance Develop
ment that could have far reaching
consequences.
In any event, however, whether or
not the Baghdad pact is to be adversely
affected, the action taken by Jordan and
Iraq promises to serve as counterweight
of sorts to the UAR. With Iraqi King
Faisal II functioning as chief of state,
and with young King Hussein acting as
his second in command on the Jordanian
throne, the new federation is likely to
remain basically pro-Western. In turn,
this may have restraining influence
on the Syrian-Egyptian United Arab
Republic, whose leaders seem to have
mortgaged themselves economically to
the Soviet Union while following line
generally hostile to the West and threat
full to Jordan's existence.
Actually, of course, both these rival
ENTHUSIASTICALLY the Nasser- domi-
mated UAR-are exceedingly expert
mental. Politically, economically, geo.
graphically and otherwise, they will have
to solve many formidable problems
before they can hope to succeed as viable
unified or federated states capable Of
persuading their skeptical neighbors to
merge with them. Nevertheless, with one
of them tending to be pro-Western and
the other anti-Western, they represent
historic development full Of highly
significant potentialities in terms Of how
the vital Arab world may evolve-for or
against freedom-in the fateful years
ahead.

It Springs Eternal

According to Radio Moscow, Soviet
scientists have figured out way to give
inoculations without a needle-pain-
lessly, gently, as If blowing kisses to the
skin or brushing 1t with feather.
Surely, If this Is true, then all the world
has reason to rejoice, especially those
among us who culver and quail at the
mere thought Of having to take shots"
But hold! Let nobody raise his hopes
too high. For there have been similar
reports right here in America about how
some of our own doctors have developed
the same sort of technique; and yet,
when an injection must be had, where
can one ind a medicine man equipped
with such marvellous magic?
Sad to say, the reports about this
new technique -~em to, be far more
numerous than tire doctors who know
how to apply It. so the weak and strong
alike, ye' stsbls giants even, continue to
grow Srin' at light of the needle. Nor
can they be blamed, since they have
heard the story more than once before,
II they are bitterly skeptical OF claims
about the needleless shot" Still, science
marches on. After all, in this age of
the atom and earth satellites and mis-
SileS and the coming whatnots of outer
space, is 1t too much to expect that the
genius Of man-Russian man, American
man or some other man-will yet be able
to make NEGOTIATIONS q real pleasure?
Stranger things have happened, and are
going to happen. Let's cling to the hope
that springs eternal. a

Our FOREIGN Students

Michigan has undertaken an inter-
eSting experiment in setting aside
special day-February 27-to play host
to the 5000 foreign students who attend
its colleges and universities. The stu
dents have been invited to flock to the
capital at Lansing on that date to take
part in a program that will put them
in personal contact with State ofncials
and leaders of business, labor and vari-
GUS civic enterprises. The purpose of the
project is to give these young men and
women, all of whom will return eventu-
ally to their home countries as potential
leaders, some good and enduring i'm
pressions of our free way Of life and the
friendship we seek to establish with
peoples everywhere.
This is not an earth-shaking idea,
of course, but 1t is certainly laudable
one. All told, about 1000 young persons
from abroad are now studying at our
higher institutions of learning, from
coast to coast. When they go back to
their own lands, they will begin play
ing influential roles, and they will have
something of America in them, in one
degree or another. Accordingly, in the
sense that it can help to promote friend
ship and understanding for our country
overseas, Michigan's> experiment might
well be duplicated in other States whose
colleges and universities have sub
stantial number of these students. Al
though the value of project of this
sort cannot be measured in concrete,
terms, we can be reasonbly sure of its
general worthwhileness.

A Job for the FBI

Attorney General Rogers is entirely
right in ordering the FBI to investigate
accusations made against FEC Com
missioner Robert A. Mack. For these
accusations, or at least the differences
which may be drawn from them, are
exceedingly grave. They suggest pos
sible basis for criminal prosecution, and
If the facts, when all of the facts have
been developed, bear this out, the job
will be one for the FBI and the Depart
n1ent of Justice.
Meanwhile, it should be borne in
mind that this case has not been fully
investigated. The accusations against
Mr.. Mack were made by DR.. Bernard
Schwartz in testimony given under oath
before the same House subcommittee
which fired him a few days ago: The
essence of the complaint is that Mr..
Mack accepted total of $2,650 from a
Miami lawyer and then voted to award
a contested television license to con-
Germ represented by the lawyer. This
may not be the whole story, however.
Mr.. Mack has denied accepting
payoffS, and has said he will cooperate
Will O1lC IDA dAl0 0AAC OubCOAAAAAAVOCC' 1AC
told subcommittee investigators earlier
that the money represented loans from
an old friend He said the loans had
been repaid in part, but his statement
was hazy on this score.
There was nothing hazy about the
statement issued by the Miami lawyer,
Thurman A. WhiteSide. He said that he
and Mr.. Mack had been friends for 40
years and that he had been lending the
latter money since they were Is years
old. He accused DR.. Schwartz Of sup
pressing information to the effect that he
had made loans to Mr.. Mack totalling
more than $1,000 in transactions going
back to 195O-Some i've years before Mr..
Mack was appointed to the FEC. And
he denied categorically that he was a
"fixer," as charged by DR.. Schwartz, or
that he tried to Elk" the television
license case.
On this record, it seems to us the
fair thing would be to withhold Judgment
until the facts have been developed.
The public may be confident that the FB1
and the subcommittee will 60 thoroughly
into the matter. Once this has been
done, there is no doubt that appropriate
action will be taken.

The Good Old Days

What with all of us talking about
space ships and trips to the moon and
so on and so forth, this town gets more
fascinating every day, and also increas-
ingly fantastic. Right here in our own
midst, for example, some scientists are
busy exploring the subatomic world to
find out whether time can run backward
as well as forward. Their experiments,
which are being carried out at the
National Bureau of Standards, are too
abstruse for mere layman to compre-
bend, but a mere layman must wish
them the fullest measure Of success on
the chance that maybe formula can
be discovered to set the present spinning
in reverse until 1t becomes the past.
Anyhow, it seems singularly COM
forting to think of the possibility OF time
running backward. Are the dear dead
days Of long ago really beyond recall?
How nice 1t was in 1900 and 1910. How
quiet. how peaceful, how unhurried life
was. The auto was an oddly the horse
and buggy were still supreme. There
were some fellows fooling around with
a contraption called an aeroplane, but
every sensible man knew that they were
just dreamers. Radio? Even the primi-
tive crystal set was unheard OF until the
1920s. The pace of existence was good
IN that faraway, innocent age The mind
was pretty much at rest. Who needed
a tranquilizing pill? Everything was
reasonably uncomplicated, and nobody
had to worry about such matters as
outer space. But then, all Of sudden,
our sweet yesterdays passed away in
what seemed to be the twinkling of an
eye. Then came progress with roaring
rush. Then came the still-rising flocd
OF science and technology. Then came
the nightmare of trafflc in our streets:
then came electronic wonders without
end; then came the atomic hydrogen
weapons and things like intercontinental
missiles and earth satellites. And more,
much more, is on the way-the unbe-
lievable, the revolutionary, the innu-
merable potentials of a tomorrow that
sometimes looks almost too marvellous
to be endured.
Can time be made to run backward
In places other than the Subatomic
world? Can It be made to run backward
in our own life2 Perhaps these questions
carry nostalgia to an extreme. But poor
mortal man, at moments when he Is
nchanted with TIP remembrance Of

having melted on the warmer
surface.
AS soon as the snow was
settled. We would coast down
the long hill behind the hen
house: and how we loved to
run and play in the snow.
We would take our tin cups
and hunt for the drifts where
we were sure that the snow
was far enough away from
the ground to be clean, dip
our cups full and then carry
them back to our mother
who would mix the snow with
sugar, cream and vanilla,
making ''snow cream" for us.
One Of our near neighbors
had a one-horse sleigh and q
gray horse named Granite"
Sometimes this neighbor
would take his daughter and
my sister and me for rides in
the sleigh, and how we loved
to skim along behind "Gran-
ite." over the smooth sur
face of the snow as we snug
gled close together under
Mr.. Jordan's big buffalo
skin robes.
That was long ago. when
we looked for the snow to
cover the ground from the
first Of November until the
last Of March each year. On
sunny days.when there was
some melting from the roof
tops, we would break the
icicles from the edges Of the
drain pipes and eat them like
hard candy. We needed the
snow then to make the hills
and valleys fertile. We need
the snow today as the warm
winds and the sun gently melt
the complicated and beautiful
crystals into water and it
sinks down into the cracks
and crevices of the earth to
give life and moisture to the
ground.
Yes, the snow has a "mu-
sic" all it's own. We can only
hear" the great Orchestra
ton. however, when our
hearts are tuned in. Hast
thou entered into the treas
ures Of the snow?" is the
question that the Great God
Of the universe asked Of little
man. COB xxxviii, 220
