Whot Might Happen

The temptation in such cases is
simply to turn the problem over
to MFR. Hanamarskjold and let him
try to work it out. There is seri-
Gus talk Of doing just that-of
saying something to this effect
(though, Of course, in proper dip
lomatic language:
Dag, we are really up q tree.
The Americans and British want
to get out. If Chehab will go
along, you can solve Lebanon by
beeflng up the U. N. observer team
there.
But what in the world can we
do about Jordan? Why don't you
take another trip out there, talk
to Hussein and Nasser, and try to
work out some formula for q u. N.
presence which Jordan will &C
cept, Nasser will respect, and
Israel will trust. You can have the
Eisenhower development agency to
use as bait.
I'm your spare time, see what
you can do about the Arab-Israel
problem. Report back to us in a
couple Of weeks when you have
the whole thing ironed out"
The chances of this happening
are good enough so that Mr.. Ham
marskjold already, at least fig

packed.

However, after the 1947-48 Arab
war with Israel, in which the
Glubb-trained Arab Legion did

borders of Israel. Thus it acquired
a million Palestinian Arabs, many
of them refugees from Israel. most

The second bill provides $3.50 nail
lion in annual tax relief for small
business.
SOCIAL SECURITY-The Sen
ate turned down proposed 10 per
cent increase in old-age benefits
and approved the House version
calling for 7 per cent increase.
DEPRESSED AREAS - The
House approved in modified form
a Senate bill extending $275 mill
lion in aid to economically de-
pressed areas. Prospects for a
conference compromise appear
good.
RECIPROCAL TRADE - The
Senate approved a four-year ex-
tension of the Reciprocal Trade
Act, regarded as great personal
triumph for President Eisenhower.
NEW AIR Acknowledging to
insure greater safety in the air,
the two houses agreed to q con-
ference report establishing a new
Federal aviation agency. The
new agency will combine the func-
tons Of the Civil AeronauticS Adj
ministration, the Always Mod
ernization Board and assume some
authority of the Civil Aeronautics
Board.
NATIONAL DEBT LIMIT-The
Senate Finance Committee APP
proved and sent to the full Senate
a measure increasing the per-
manent national debt ceiling from
$275 billion to 1888 billion and
providing for q temporary ceiling
of 1888 billion.
LABOR-The Senate has ap-
proved a bill which would protect
union welfare funds and provide
for election of officers by secret
ballot. Although a similar bill was
killed in the House Education and
Labor Committee, there is still a
chance it viii be brought before
the House this week under Suspen-

require a two-third vote.

measure has been approved by the
Senate.

last week were at odds on an aid
to-education bill designed to pro-
vide the Nation with more scien-

FOREIGN AID-The Senate
will vote this week on the House
approved $3.5 billion foreign aid
bill.
When it finishes its work -
probably Thursday or Friday
the S5th Congress will have COM
pleted a session which proved once
and for all that the American
Government can function quite
well as a two-party coalition.
Its most notable achievements
Alaskan statehood, civil rights
legislation, defense reorganiza-
ton and extension of reciprocal
trade - have refuted President
Eisenhower's 1856 warning that
with Republicans in the White
House and Democrats in control
of Congress the Nation could ex-
pect a "cold war of partisan poll
tics" that would bring chaos.
There were times. of course,
when the bipartisan approach to
building a sound legislative pro-
gram was threatened by party
line politics. The fright generated
by a recession and Russia's sput-
mix invited er-pointing and
blame placing. But the develop
ing legislative program was
snatched back to safety BY two
remarkable rescuers, Senate Ma
jority Leader Lyndon Johnson
and House Speaker Sam Rayburn.

The Ring Around Israel

Commenting on President Eli
senhower's dramatic address to
the Assembly this week. one Arab
diplomat told an Asian:
GO tell your American friends
this: You offer us refrigeratorS
and television sets, but we have
a dagger at our heart. You cannot
stop us from building a ring
around Israel"
Reluctantly, therefore, delegates
are coming to the conclusion that
the Arab-Israel problem must be
eased or settled before it will be
practical to contain the spread Of
President Nasser's empire.
Israel is lobbying furiously be-
hind the scenes to bring about an
Arab-Israel negotiation, through
appropriate Intermediates, pref
erably Mr.. Hammarskjold.
Britain is sympathetic with the
effort and is trying to help. The
United States would have pre-
ferred a different kind of ap-
proach, but is entirely prepared
to go along.
The principal difficulty is that
any such effort must be kept en-
tirely below the surface. No Arab
diplomat can go home and face
his people if he admits he has
been negotiating with Israel, di-
rectly or indirectly. But the Arabs
are willing to talk with the U. NJ"
meaning with Mr.. Hammarskjold.

.FdIIout:
A Report

The air was full Of fallout--
. and controversy-over the effects
of atomic radiation after a new
nuclear test shot in the Pacific
and release of a long-awaited re-
port on the problem by a United
Nations Scientific Committee.
The report did not end the long
and bitter argument over the eff
fects of fallout on human beings.
Both advocates Of nuclear test
bans and proponents Of continued
experimental explosions cited the
report to back their stands.
The committee reported that
"even the smallest amounts OF
radiation are liable to cause dele
terious genet1c. and perhaps also
somatic effects"
Thus, the committee was saying
that any addition to natural radi-
alton might cause such diseases
as cancer, leukemia, prenatal
damage or shortening Of life.
The committee concluded that
call steps designed to minimize
the irradiation Of human popula-
tons will act to the benefit Of
human health. Such steps include
the avoidance Of unnecessary ex-
posure and the cessation OF
contamination of the environment
by explosions Of nuclear weap-
ons. :"
The Atomic Energy Commission
commended the report and point
ed out that it estimated that ge-
netic effects Of fall-out would be
only a fraction Of the probable
effects Of natural radiation. The
Aces official reaction added that
"as in the case with every tech
biological advance. man must
learn to live with new risks. ;"
Senator Anderson, chairman OF
the Joint Congressional COMMITTEES
on Atomic Energy, did not agree.
He said the UN report destroyed

Congress was in a waspish mood.
1t was hot, the big job was over
and the tedious, end-of- session
haggling over last-minute, con-
troversial legislation was wearing
patience thin.
Time and again last week the
legislative processes on Capitol
Hill we're interrupted by shouting
and argument.
One of the worst fights broke
out Thursday night on the Senate
floor. Senator Capehart, Republic
can of Indiana, took exception to
a speech Senator Kennedy, Demo-
crat of Massachusetts, made ear
lier in the day warning the
United States was losing the nu-
clear arms race with Russia.
Senator Capehart peevishly
asked why Mr.. Kennedy had to
tell the world :. (and) our
enemies" The bitter argument
and unsuccessful effort to clear
the gallery while the Senators
discussed Americas military
shortcomings postponed a sched-
uled vote on a $3.6 billion supple
mental appropriations bill.
But the 85th Congress, aware
of its already established reputa-
ton as one Of the best legislative
bodies ever to occupy Capitol Hill
and kept in line by able leader
ship, stayed on the job.

Gromyko in Opposition

Mr.. Eisenhower's proposals we're
hailed in the West as statesman
like, moderate and positive. They
were condemned - but in re-
strained language-by the Soviet
Unions Foreign Minister Andrea
Gromyko as vague, insincere ef-
forts to Justify continued armed
intervention by the United States
and Britain in the Middle East.
They were received coolly by the
Arab states, ranging from OUT
right opposition of the JAR to a
chilly skepticism on the part of
the others. The neutralist bloc,
usually led by India, took an
openly dubious view of the scheme.
In New Delhi, Prime Minister
Nehru stated his disapproval of
either q United Nations peace
force in the Middle East, or any
enforced neutrality" Of the area.
The attitude of the so-called
"uncommitted" bloc of nations at
the q. N. is all important in the
present situation. Any action by
the General Assembly must be
approved by q two-thirds vote Of

The Main Issues

Now the General Assembly is
meeting to dispose Of two oppos-
ing contentious:
ID The Soviet demand that
American armed forces leave
Lebanon Immediately, and that
British troops evacuate Jordan,
because their presence constitutes
open aggression against the peo-
piles of the Middle East and an
invitation to World War III.
co The Western charge that
the United Arab Republic Egypt
and Syria) under Col. Nasser, and
with the encouragement Of the
Soviet Union, was guilty of "indi-
rect aggression" against the legal
governments of Arab states such
as Lebanon, Jordan and others,
with a view to topping them in
favor of pro-Nasser. pro-Soviet
regimes.
The Assembly, after formally
converting a week ago Friday,
began actual debate on Wednes-
day after time had been allowed
for the heads of the various dele
cations to gather in New York.
All these last four days the dele
gates have listened to the remarks
and proposals of the spokesman
for the member nations. The first
to be heard was President Eisen-
hover, so far the only head-of-
state to take part in the session.
The President made an address
to the assembled delegates pro-
posing; in broad outline, an eco
nomic development program for
the Middle East. He referred to
indirect aggression" but not in
terms of invective, and not at all
to the extent so widely predicted
after Secretary of State Dulles
had first indicated. over two weeks
ago, that this charge would con-
stitute the major American re-
buttal to the Soviet charges of
direct aggression. And he asked
for United Nations forces to re-
place American and British troops
as guardians of the integrity Of
existing Middle East governments;
guarantees of existing borders, and
a monitoring system, under U. N.
auspices, to reduce inf1ammatory
radio broadcasts in the region.

If Lebanon is likely to fall into
chaos-or into the arms of United
Arab Republic President Nasser-
once the United States troops have
withdrawn, 1t is considered much
more likely that Jordan would
come apart at the seams without
the British troops there.
And it's going to be hard to
keep British troops in Jordan once
the U. S. forces pull out of Leb-
anon.
Lebanon, at least, had been
something of a national entity be-
fore the Iraq coup d'etat last July
IA. But Jordan ever since 1948 has
been a make believe state, racially
disorganized, economically I'M
viable, financially insolvent.
The British set up Transjordan
in 1927 as a haven for one branch

Will Russions Help?

Whether the Russians will CO.
operate is not yet clear. But some
high-ranking Western diplomats
predict privately that they win.
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles and Soviet Foreign Minister
Andrei Gromyko are reported to
have begun what has all the ear
marks of Soviet-American nego-
tistion over key issues of the
Middle East, including the Arab
Israel problem. And Mr.. Gromyko
is said to have indicated an in
terest in a settlement.
Whether these reports are true
or not it is impossible to say. But
this correspondent has heard them
from an experienced Asian diplo-
mat and a Western foreign min
lister, the latter by no means given
to easy optimism.

The Weeks Scene

Important legislation which oc-
cupied Congress in its home
stretch drive last week or still
on the calendar included:
FARM BILL-The House, after
turning a cold shoulder to Secre-
tary of Agriculture Benson's rec
concentrations, reconsidered and
approved a measure which would
lower price supports on basic crops
while maintaining cotton and rice
acreage allotments. The Senate
didn't like some Of the changes
the House had made in its bill
and indicated full congressional
approval would require further
conference compromises.
TAX REDUCTION-Senate APP

THE WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
World Peace: A Beginning

A forum" was originally q
marketplace. a public square or
plaza around which were grouped
the shops, stalls and stands of the
vendors Of foodstuffs. In time 1T
was also a center for public build
ings. leading to the additional def
milton, "a public meeting place
for open discussion"
Last week there was a beginning
of public discussion about mat
ter of great importance to the
peace Of the world.
This forum was an interna-
tional one-the General Assembly
of the United Nations. The speak
ers were the representatives of 81
nations. The subject:
How to bring about peace and
stability in the Middle East,
where the conflicting forces of
Arab nationalism, Western eco
nomic and strategic interest,
Israeli survival and Soviet in
fluence threaten dangerous de-
velopments unless q solution is
found quickly.
The General Assembly was
meeting in emergency session. at
the call of the Security Council,
to consider the grave situation in
the Middle East. Last July IA a
swift military coup radically upset
the delicately balanced political
alignment in the oil-rich, strate-
gically located area between the
Persian Gulf and the Mediter-
ranean Sea. Iraq, desert kingdom
whose government had been firmly
aligned with the West, became in
one single day a republic led by
men sympathetic to Canal Abdel
Nasser, dictator-President Of the
United Arab Republic and the
Self-appointed, immensely popular
leader of reborn pan-Arabism.
The next day United States Ma
rineS landed in Lebanon, sent at
the call of the Lebanese President,
Camille Glamour, who had been
since May resisting an armed in
surrection against his regime. Mr..
Glamour charged that his dis
gruntled countrymen were being
Systematically agitated, inspired,
provoked, supplied. armed and led
by agents Of Col. Nasser from
across the Syrian border.

The Immedi0te Task

Meanwhile the immediate task
finding solutions for Lebanon and
Jordan-is becoming more COM
plicated by the day. =,
The minimum Western objec-
tive is to fend of Soviet and
United Arab Republic pressure for
a premature troop withdrawal un-
der conditions which would be
humiliating for Washington and
London and which could lead to
the engulfment of Lebanon and
Jordan in the Egyptian empire.
1t is no easy task to fend of
this pressure. There is a great
deal of latent sentiment in favor
of applying it.
President Eisenhower struck a
skillful and effective blow against
the pressure with his widely ac-
claimed peace plan, presented in
person last week. Even this, how
ever, was not enough wholly to
turn the tide.
In the eyes of Washington and
London, the logical solution-both
for purposes of face-saving and
as a practical matter-would be
to have the U. N. take over the
job of protecting Lebanon and
Jordan. The instrument sug-
gested is a United Nations peace
force.
But Jordan said last week that
it would have nothing to do with
a U. N. force. A country cannot
be forced to accept U. NJ protec-
ton if it does not want it. How
else to make Jordan a kind Of
ward of the U. N. is a real stickler.
With Russia and a substantial
number Of Afro-Asian neutralists
pressing the United States and
Britain to pull out, and Jordan re-
sisting the only visible machinery
for facilitating such withdrawal,
the assembly faces an impasse
from which it win not be easy
to escape.

to the purpose Of the, committee
investigation of regulatory bodies.
Nevertheless, the House voted
369 to 8 for the citation and sent
it on to the Justice Department.
The Justice Department will de-
eide if and when it will ask for
a Federal grand jury Indictment.
A trial and appeals probably
would follow in what is expected
to be a very lengthy legal battle
between the Government and gift
giving Bernard Goldfine.
