McElroy is doing the reverse.
BY preventing Gen. Power
from placing private copy

ruling since it stands to gain

run every book, magazine. and
newspaper publisher will be
far better off If every gov
ernmental agency took steps
to prevent private copyright

What isn't generally real
lied is that Mr.. McElroy'S
ruling establishes, at long last,
a sound principle in an area
where there has been a great
deal of free wheeling and
much responsibility. AS mat
tiers stood until this ruling,
every public official felt free
to decide for himself when he
could place private copyright
restrictions on official infor-
nation and knowledge and
when he could sell or grant
exclusive rights to such mat
ter to the highest or most

LuH Before Storm

All was quiet along the Potomac
yesterday afternoon as President Eisen-
hower'S orange and silver jet airliner
touched down at National Airport. It
was holiday afternoon, and the thou
sands who might otherwise have turned
out to greet the returning President
were busily or unbusily engaged in their
own Labor Day pursuits.
This quietneSS was deceptive, how
ever-Something Of a lull before the
storm. Early this morning the President
was meeting with his congressional
party leaders, and his next visitor was
Labor Secretary Mitchell, at the White
House to report on the steel strike. This
activity was Symptomatic Of the urgent
domestic problems which will crowd in
upon the President in what may be the
last week Of this congressional session.
AS far as possible these problems must
be dealt with before the arrival, a week
hence, Of Nikita Khrushchev, whose
presence in Washington, to say the
least, will make heavy demands on Mr..
Eisenhower'S time and energies.

ing to read that the President looked
tanned and relaxed as he hurried down
the landing ramp Of the plane to greet
Mrs. Eisenhower and an assortment of
official greeterS. The triumphal tour Of
West Germany, England and France,
even with golfing Stopover in Scot
land, was hardly a rest cure. For
there were what Mr.. Eisenhower called
troublesome" problems to be dealt
with, especially in Paris, and there is
reinsurance in the Presidents comment
that, "for the moment, everything is
going splendidly."
There is reinsurance in this because
the highest measure of allied unity and
mutual trust will be needed when the
American President and the Russian
Premier sit down for their discussions
which will have so much to do, for bet
ter or worse, with the future Of this
world. This will be one of history's great
occasions, and Mr.. Eisenhower, as the
spokesman for the free nations, will
need every bit of support that can come
from unity and understanding Of what
1t is that he is trying to do. Against
this background, we say: welcome

Good Time to Try

Chairman Fulbright of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee has made
a timely and statesmanlike appeal for
a more mature and realistic relation
ship" between the governments Of the
United States and Of the Arab nations.
The timeliness is borne out by the
Senator's reminder that the Middle East
currently is enjoying period Of relative
calm in both It's internal and external
political affairs, and that this trend Of
events offers ground for cautious en-
couragement. 1t is state Of affairs
that is in marked and welcome contrast
to that prevailing in the summer Of 1858
when American and British troops were
in the area, when Iraq was in the ear
Hest stages of revolution and upheaval
and it was impossible to foretell what
might happen next in the region. None
of the worst fears has come to pass, and
the balance of developments has been
toward stability-even II tenuous.
In the opinion Of the Arkansas Sem
ator-and he has previously indicated
a particular interest in the complex
problems of the Arab world-there has
been evidence Of improved understand
ing between West and Middle East. He
cites, for example, greater awareness
on our part of the strong drive of Arab
nationalism, and realization that 1t
should not be equated with communism
or with Communist maneuvering in the
area. He draws attention to a less
emotional anticolonial attitude in Arab
capitals, and emphasizes that there are
full capabilities there for development
of representative government and eco
nomic growth.
Mr.. Fulbright does not spell out in
detail what he would like to include in
a bold and imaginative approach to a
new Arab-American relationship, other
than to stress the deSirability of long
range policies in place Of those geared
to periodic crises. In his position of con-
siderable influence, however, it is con-
structive for him to focus attention on
the question and to serve notice in effect
that he is ready to lend further help in
any effort to strengthen this important
category Of our international relations.

SLAUGHTER of Innocents

There is little solace for Americans
-generally-and especially for families
bereaved-in the fact that the number
Of men, women and children killed on
the Nations highways over the Labor
Day week end failed to reach the total
forecast by the National Safety Council.
Whereas the council had predicted the
death of $50 persons in trafic "acci-
dents" latest Associated Press figures
indicate that the final total will be
about a score under that estimate.
Even so, the slaughter exceeded last
years 420 fatalities for the similar holi-
day period.
Accidents" is put in quotation
marks for the reason that study Of
such holiday tragedies by safety au-
thorities has shown that relatively few
of the smashupS can truly be classified
as unavoidable. The dictionary defines
an accident as something that happens
Unexpectedly. But many Of the head-on
collisions, the careening crashes into
bitches or other off-the- highway OBJ
StructionS and the other gruesome So
called traffic accidents during the past
week end could have been expected. In
fact, the National Safety Council did
expect them-because too many motor
lists pay no attention to safety warnings
and safety principles when embarked on
a holiday jaunt. More tragic than the
death which came to those who ignored
the rules of the road and of common
sense was the needless sacrifice of so
many innocent victims of the highway
killers.

their Creator with inalien-
able rights" and that our
material well being in truth
is only one consequence Of
this belief.
I suggest therefore that
our churches must be an es-
sential part of Khrushchev's
tour, otherwise he will not
know America or the sources
from which comes its
strength.
The third reality concerns
Americans and Khrushchev.
Americas friendliness and
cordially to the stranger are
traditional but it is clear
that neither our own self re-
spect nor our regard for the
sensibilities of the people of
the rest Of the world permit
us to give such a welcome
to Khrushchev. Different
standards must be found
when we condescend to meet
the representative Of a gov
eminent hitch espouSes
murder, concentration camps.
and slavery, particularly
when that representative is
the personal participant and
himself is personally respon-
sible for much Of such bar
barism.
AS individual Americans
it is clear that we must stress
to Khrushchev that what we
are and what we will be rests
on Christianity-that on its
principles there can be and
will be no compromise-and
that the people of the United
States are united in the de-
termination to preserve these
principles at all costs at any
time and at any place. s.
1t surely will test the
strength of our Christian be-
liefs, but because of Chris
tan humility, recognition of
our own shortcomings, and
devotion to the Divine COM
mands, is there any other
alternative for each of us
than to pray for the CONVEX
son of Khrushchev and all
Communists?

On How to Receive Khrushchey as He Tours Our Land

II the impending United
States visit Of Khrushchev
repeats what happened when
Soviet rulers of lesser rank
were here 1t may well turn
out to be q demonstration to
the world Of American igno-
rance Of communism and
that the Americans who are
really soft on communism"
are our business men and in
duStrial leaders. The record
of our American labor leaders
IN the past and now towards
visitor Khrushchev is far
more impressive, perhaps
naturally enough because
labor has been the target of
communism for years.
President Eisenhower's in
vitation to Khrushchev is a
bold effort in a delicate, diff
f1cult and critical situation.
1t would be tragic if the
chances Of some progress
towards lessening world ten
sion were imperiled by guilt
bility and blindness to the
realities by other Americans.
The first Of these realities
is that Khrushchev is a Com
munist and head Of the Com
munist Soviet STATE. 1t is a
basic tenet of communism
that lies, deceit. and treach-
cry are proper means to gain
the Communist end. Khru-
shchev says that he comes as
a man Of peace, but even in
theory this basic tenet which
is a part Of the teachings of
Lenin, entities us to question
Khrushchev's type of sin
certify. The present situations
in Laos. Tibet. India. and
Hungary, to name only a few
leave no doubt that this tenet
factually is still basic Com
munist doctrine.
In the past, al h eistic,
amoral rulers who recognized
only force were excluded from
the family of nations simply
because they were not civil
liked and decent, They were
called pirates or despots,-
the older terms for interna-
tional gangsters. Russia, even
in the centuries before COM
munism. frequently was be-
