UnhoppiIy Yours

The tone of the Presidents latest
letter to Mr.. Khrushchev tells the world
that the United States, II 1t goes to the
summit, will 60 unhappily and with
dragging feet. This is unfortunate,
unnecessary and unwise.
OF course, Mr.. Eisenhower has
plenty Of reason to be exasperated by
the maneuverings of Mr.. Khrushchev
Obviously, the Soviet leader has been
trying to reap a propaganda harvest by
picturing the United States as an ag-
gressor in the Middle East, with Russia
cast by him in the role of preserver of
the peace. This is an utterly false in
depreciation of the facts, concerning
which the record needed to be set
straight.
This could have been done, however,
without giving Mr.. Khrushchev further
opportunity to belabor this country.
And the main weakness In Mr.. Eisen-
hower's letter, 1t seems to us, is that 1t
plays right into Mr. .KhruShchev's hands
in this respect.

be a summit meeting. The Presidents
letter indicates some doubt on this
point, but it is a doubt which seems to
have been fathered by the hope. If the
meeting is going to be held, the United
States Should approach 1t in the spirit
of welcoming the opportunity to present
RS case to the world If what we have
done or tried to do was right, and we
think it was, what is there to fear from
a meeting with Mr.. Khrushchev before
the eyes Of the world? Why give him
any basis for contending that we are
afraid to face this judgment, and that
we are trying to so hedge the meeting
with conditions that its usefulness will
be impaired? Mr.. Eisenhower's letter,
we are afraid, arms the Soviet dictator
in both respects. And this is so, not
because Of the conditions which Mr.. Ell
senhower properly insists upon, but be-
cause Of the tone. The people Of many
nations will think that this letter should
have been signed, not sincerely yours,
but unhappily yours.

Inside Iroq'

I commend in the highest
terms your fine July % edi-
torial, Inside Iraq." 1t is
heartening to see an effort
being made by thoughtful
Americans to assess the revo-
luton in Iraq on its merits
and to allow the policy of its
leaders, made clear from the
early days, to be considered
directly and in a friendly
spirit not clouded by prop
uganda and preconceived
ideas. This is a kind of for
eign policy the United States
would do well to follow lest
we see democratic revolution
carried to tragic extremes for
lack of sympathetic and OBJ
jective understanding Of its
limited and justif1able aims.
In this connection. Senator
Russell Of Georgia has made
a suggestion Of the utmost
wisdom-that Robert Muir
ply be sent to Baghdad to
talk with the revolutionary
leaders. The President Of the
United States has long stood
for people to people" under
standing. and here is a great
opportunity for a man of
undoubted probity and wis
dom to go to the leaders
themselves and to bring back
to the American people the
unvarnished story Of Decent
events in Iraq as wef as .
picture Of the previous period.

BRIGHT AND DIM
Sidewalk Views of the Summit

spokesman for the Western
peoples. rather than three or
more disagreeing and some
times Numerically opposed
voices. To be effective land
for the Kremlin to recognize
its effectiveness), it will be
necessary to have a common
government which would
have control over diplomatic
dealings. Such effectiveness
does not exist now because
both the West and the Com
muniStS know that under an
alliance system or a condi-
ton Of mere agreement there
is no continuing bond for the
policies initiated in unison.
They can be terminated,
broken or disregarded at any
time by any nation in the al
liance-to the detriment of
the community as a whole.
A common spokesman for
the entire Atlantic commu-
nity-acting upon principles
and policies determined by
this community-would have
another important task. He
would be able to answer the
numerous missives from the
Kremlin Immediately, stop
ping the propaganda value
which accrues with the pass
ing of time. The long delay
that now follows the receipt
OF each message while the
NATO leaders are comforting
and arguing among them
selves plays into the hands
OF Moscow, if for no other
reason than by showing the
disunion and indecisivenesS
of the West.
1t must be stated that the
common policy under which
the Atlantic community will
act may not be the same as
a purely American policy Cor
a purely British or French
policy. Nevertheless, the re-
suits will be better for the
free peoples involved because
We would have a common
policy, freely agreed upon
after public debate and the
interplay Of public opinion.

a Bad Decision

I read your July 81 edi-
torial. "A Bad Decision" re-
ferring to the House Appro-
priation Committees rejection
Of emergency funds to save
the George Washington Me-
mortal parkway in Prince
Georges County.
That is better than no de-
cision. I have lived for IL
years in Parkwood. Md, north
of Cedar lane. Roads leading
out from Jones Bridge road
to Kensington. Saul road and
Cedar lane from Wisconsin
avenue to Kensington are a
disgrace to any State. On the
road from Jones Bridge road
to Kensington at times you
could place a beer keg in
holes and have to look down
in the hole to see the keg.
Where does the State of
Maryland use all the tax
money and gas tax paid in
by the citizens Of this State?
One reads about the wonder
full six and eight lane high
ways the State builds. Why
can't we have reads, so we
can get to work without un-
necessary risk? In these 10
years I've worn out four auto
mobiles. The State Of Virginia
had better roads before the
Civil War than the State of
Maryland has in the Wash
ington suburbs now.

LETTERS TO THE STAR

For much too long the
Iraqi people have been cut
of from the outside world.
Their leaders have not been
their spokesman and have not
tried to help them in any
more than a grudging man
ner with the sole purpose of
keeping them quiet. Now we
have the beginnings of a
democratic government, and
my people pray for under
standing from the world and
sympathy in their efforts to
be free. For David Lawrence
to claim by innuendo, in his
article on July %. that the
government Of Iraq is be-
having in this reasonable
manner for propaganda rea-
sons This is a natural
maneuver designed to curry
favor and to win diplomatic
recognition for the new
regime.") is a most dangerous
policy.
The Iraqi people are trying
in the same way and to attain
the same goals as the Amer
lean people Of l776. The
United States has since that
time been dedicated to a
policy of self-determination
for all nations. and now that
Iraq has set its course we
would hope for recognition
from America among the
first.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

Similarly, however, murder
is done in all walks Of living
things, and each case is re-
garded as a differentiation
from the normal.
Only with the hawk is the
individual deed ascribed to
the whole mass Of hawks.
The fact seems to be, as
modern investigators have
discovered. that the damage
the hawks do. with the pos
sible exception Of two spe-
cies, is not great.
Their depredations are so
striking. however. that the
picture they create In the
watching human mind Is
burned in, as it were.
Terrible hawks" one
thinks.
Actually, they are beau
tiful. interesting. picturesque
hawks. almost eagles, If you
please.
Their Widespread is tre-
mendous, their lazing evolu-
tons in the sky fascinating,
their speed tremendous.
Few feathered things can
do better aloft.
1t is unfortunate that this
proves In the air is not de-
voted to better ends, but
when man looks over his own
warplanes. he cannot sheer
much at the hawks for doing
combat.
A hawk of any size al
ways gives warning.
The householder who feeds
the songbirds can always tell
that something is UP. not
only by the slow circling Of
the unusually large bird
above, but also by the ac-
tions OF his small friends
below.
These dart for cover, and
remain hidden for many
minutes.
The hawk seldom strikes
directly from the sky. but
will be seen to fly down TO a
convenient perch on a lower
branch Of a tree, or stay hid
den in a shrub.
When the small birds come
back. the hawk selects his
victim, and goes at 1t as
straight as an arrow.
II the human element IN
the scene will point an UNI
brella at the sky, as the
hawk circles, he will brighten
it away. Even after It has
flown down. and taken up its
perch, 1t can be scared into
leaving by the appearance
Of the householder.

usually too late. although it
often may be made, even

Do he Editor Of NE Stor:


The amateur geopoliticians
and moralists who want the
United States to withdraw
from Lebanon now are afraid
to have Mr.. Khrushchev come
to New York.
World leadership, lie. world
power, requires at times the
use of power in the best in
terests Of the United States.
1t also requires the will to
win. the confidence and faith
that 60 with being associated
with great ideals and the
willingness to take risks. Mr.
Macmillan stated this ad-
mirably in his report to Par
liament.)
1t may require leaders to
state our case in public TO-
runs without lengthy prepa-
ration and teleprompting. The
world will long remember
the Gettysburg Address, pre-
pared in the morning and
delivered in the afternoon.
II Mr.. Khrushchev can
present his case the morning
he arrives, it would seem
strange indeed II the spokes-
men Of democracy could not
meet him in the afternoon
and verbally tear him to
shredS.
There is an old baseball
saying, concerning the oppo-
sition. that those clowns
pull their pants on the same
way we do" This self-con-
fidence is one of the ingre-
dents Of a winning team.
1t is the lack of this self
confidence which makes boys
out of men. A lack of conf
dence was reflected in your
July % editorial in which
you gathered" that Mr..
Eisenhower will be among
those present" at the U.N.
summit meeting.
This is not a time for
spineleSs Withdrawals or for
the President Of the United
States merely to be present
at the diplomatic front. It
is a time, as Secretary of
State Stimson bluntly stated
on November 80, 1882, when
somebody has got to show
some CUTS"
1t is a time to stand firm
on Lebanon and take the
leadership in the u. N. In
deed, it may be a time to
show Mr.. Khrushchev what
really makes America tick.

Premier Khrushchev has
given President Eisenhower
an opportunity which comes
once in a lifetime. He has
agreed to attend a summit
meeting within the United
Nations Security Council, pro-
vived the Arab states are in
vited. If President Eisenhower
accepts these conditions with
the addition Of one condition
Of his own. We will know i'm
mediately whether Comrade
Khrushchev is seeking to re-
lax world tension or seeking
more material for his propa-
ganda machine.
This condition is that
Prime Minister Ben Gurion
OF Israel should also be asked
to sit in at this conference
at the summit. If this condi-
ton is accepted by Khru-
shchev. then we could be sure
that the Arabs and Premier
Khrushchev are genuinely in
terested in seeking peace in
the Middle East.

One question that the lead
ers Of the United States,
France and England will have
to decide before we can hope
to attain any success in a
summit conference is who
will represent the Atlantic
community. Will we find
three voices setting forth the
position Of the free world in
answer to the one voice
which speaks for the entire
Communist bloc? The Krem-
lin noted this disunion a few
months ago when it de-
manded separate talks with
each representative of the
West, with the hope Of ex-
plotting Western differences
and thus defeating us by the
policy Of divide and con-
quer."
Or can we hope that both
the public and the leaders of
the Western world will dis
cover that the NATO peoples
have a common political phi
losophy democracy and
common goals Justice, lib
erty, peace? This should
lead to the recognition that
1t will be to their interest to
face the unity of the totali-
tarians with the unity of the
free.
An arrangement like this
would involve a common

A Colmar Manor CORE
spondent speaks Of a hawk
making rock and roll"
movements.
What he was doing. I'M
fortunately, was tearing a
small bird, probably a SPAR
row, to pieces before de-
vouring him.
The claws are weak, and
not good for much except
holding; the sharp bill,
backed by strong neck mus
cles. tears out the feathers.
Yet the hawks are among
our most beautiful birds.
They are pretty in colora-
ton, perfect in posture, and
interesting in their life
habits.
When it comes to posture.
perhaps no other bird excels
this one. in any Of its vari-
cites.
From the little sparrow
hawk to the red-shouldered
hawk, each specimen stands
as If proud Of itself.
The look the hawk gives,
as it gazes over the land
scape. has been described as
regal.
Kings. Of course, were sup
posed to look at the world
a bit differently than COM
moners, as the mass Of peo-
pie were called.
This has always seemed one
of the strangest Of human
vagaries. that the mass Of
the people should select one
out Of their group. or have
him selected for them, and
then proceed to invest him
with qualities they know he
does not possess.
The king is supposed to be
kingly. to have a regal
glance, to possess powers Of
miraculous healing. to be able
to do everything and think
everything, in a sense.
This must be, we suppose.
the people dreaming Of what
they would like to be. them
selves, and then ascribing the
qualities TO the chosen man.
We see the same thing done
with all popular heroes. espe-
cially military ones.
Big books have been writ
ten on heroes. even musical
compositions; one Of the
greatest German composers
has what is really a sym
phony called THE Hero's
Life"
The hawks seldom deserve
the censure heaped upon
them. because it is now real
lied that the damage they do
is not great.
II you concentrate on the
hawk with q small bird In
his talons. you see him as b
murderer and despoiler. as

HYANNIs. Mass.-Has lib
beralism invaded the Southf
or are the conservative DEM
ocrats sull IN the ascend
ancy2 Some light should be
thrown on the situation In
that section OF the country
through the nomination Of
Democratic senatorial candi-
dates In Texas and Florida.
In both States q liberal" Is
running against q "conserv-
ative."
Texas Is holding It's pri-
mary election today. Incum-
bent Senator Ralph Yar-
borough, a leader Of the lib
eral forces In the Lone Star
State. is opposed by a con-
sentative. former Senator
william Blakley. Senator
Marlborough won his sena-
torial seat &C q special cleo
ton In April Of last year.
The conservative vote was
split. some of II going 10 a
Republican nominee and
some TO conservative Demo-
Gratis. Senator Yarborough's
problem this year is TO de-
feat a prominent conserva-
tive-Mr. Blakley-in a two
man race. Before he was
nominated and elected SEN
ator. Mr. Marlborough tried
three times for the Democratic
nomination for Governor and
was defeated-in 1852, 1854.
and 1856.
This Texas fight between
the liberals and the conserv-
alive Democrats is bitterly
contested and goes far be-
yond the senatorial nomina-
ton. Gov. Price Daniel,
who left the Senate TO be-
come Governor, is seeking
denomination in a four-way
race. His opponents are w.
Lee (Pappy) ODaniel, a
former Governor and former
Senator; State Senator Hen
~ Gonzalez. and Joe r.
win. a Dallas insurance man.
1t is generally expected Gov.
Daniel will win denomination.
But he and Mr.. ODaniel
will split the conservative
vote, and Senator Gonzalez
will get the liberal vote. Mr..
Irwin is considered a minor
candidate. If Gov. Daniel
is unable to win the primary
by a majority vote, he will
be engaged in a primary run
of August %.
Primaries Have Key Role
Much may hang on these
primary elections. Texas, in
protest against the liberal
National Democratic Party of
the North, has twice voted for
Republican President Eisen-
hower-in 1852 and 1856.
If the conservatives con-
troll the party organiza-
ton when 1860 rolls around,
they will dominate the Texas
delegation to the Democratic
National Convention. In al
probability 1t will not support
a Northern liberal Democrat
for the party's presidential
nomination. Having voted
twice for a Republican Presi-
dent, it is conceivable that
Texas might again turn
against a candidate nomi-
mated by the national con-
vention in the general cleo
ton that year.
In Florida, the contest for
the Democratic senatorial
nomination is between incum-
