NATO and the Summit

Despite some earlier fears to the
contrary, 1t is clear now that all men,
berS Of the North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganization will be fully consulted in
advance of the summit conference to
be held by France, Britain, the United
States and the Soviet Union. Several
of the smaller nations in NATO have
been concerned about this, but their
miSgivings have been dispelled by firm
assurances that they will not be kept in
the dark about Anglo o-French-American
plans for negotiating with the Kremlin.
These assurances are plainly i'm
plicit in the fact that meeting of the
Inflammation NATO Council will be
held after President Eisenhower conferS
next month with the leaders of Britain,
France and West Germany. The Presi-
dents talks will have to do with prepa-
rations for the summit get-together with
Soviet Premier Khrushchev, and the
substance of these talks will be made
available for study and discussion at the
Atlantic Councils full-dress session.

the members of the alliance-later in
December.
Thus there will be ample oppor-

country in NATO to have cooperative
voice in the Western Big Threes PLAN
ming for the heads-of- government meet
ing with Russia. AS for the meeting
itself, its date still is pretty much up in
the air, but apparently it will not take
place until next spring, after Mr.. Khru-

all made 100, while the others ranged
from 25 to 40 per cent correct. When
1t became apparent that some had
cheated, demands were made for an
other test. But the teacher announced
that since 1t was not illegal to allow
some students to see the answers, he
would not condemn those who cheated
and would let the results go on the
record.
His point sank in, with telling ef-

1t Works Both WAYS

While it may be hard for some people
to understand why the son of foreign
diplomat, whose car has killed person,
cannot be prosecuted or sued as result
of the accident, the fact is that diplo-
matte immunity is very broad, very old
and firmly established in international
law. The freeing of youthful David Pat
rick Hearne, son of the Irish AmbaS-
sador, is but the latest of long series
of incidents proving the effectiveness of
the immunity cloak. And our Govern
ment, however concerned it may be over
such serious cases as that of David
Hearne, would not have the system
changed in any respect-for it is a
system which works both ways.
The so-called doctrine of extraterri-
toriality, which is the basis OF reciprocal
diplomatic immunity among pationS,
dates back to the early days of civili-
zation. The doctrine holds that the en-
basSy or legation of a foreign country
issalien territory and that neither it nor
accredited representatives of the coun-
try assigned there are subject to local
laws. More specifically, neither our
criminal nor civil laws can be applied
against a diplomat or any member of
his family or staff if he elects to claim
immunity. There have been numerous
Instances, however, in which diplomatic
personnel voluntarily waived immunity
rights and stood trial. Others who abused
the privilege have been expelled as
persona non grata.
The doctrine first was written into
English law in 17O8, after the Russian
ambassador to England was thrown into
a.London Jail for failure to pay debt.
Queen Anne, protesting the indignity to
a. man who had the character of
king" had a law passed spelling out
diplomatic immunity with traditional
usage. A similar law was among the
first passed by the American Congress
IN 1890. All nations now adhere strictly
to the doctrine-a mutual safeguard
against unfair treatment or political
harassment of ENJOYS abroad. Our
State Department would not have 1t
any other way.

Union Setback

The unionists, who usually
get what they ask for or de-
mand, got the shock of their
lives a few days ago when
the Supreme Court failed to
outlaw the Taft-Hartley la
Dor law. Now the union czars
are branding the Taft-Hart-
ley law a slave labor law and
some of the rank and file
members, either through fear
of labor czars or from being
brain-washed by the labor
lords, are concurring with
their lords and masters. Had
the court upheld the union
and put the Taft Hartley law
out of the way, the top labor

North Dokotu's Farm Vote Test

cause, particularly II the
Democratic picture regarding
a presidential nominee re-
mains as clouded as 1t is to-
day. There are several DEM
ocratic possibilities who
would not 60 down well with
North Dakota farmers. And
the farm vote is the only
hope of the Democrats IN
that State.
Farm Issue Is Key
What is done for the farm
ers in the coming session Of
Congress is likely, too, to
have its effect on the North
Dakota senatorial election.
The Democrats have been at
odds over what should be
done, although most Of them
appear to favor high fixed
farm price supports. Presi-
dent Eisenhower and Secre-
tary of Agriculture Ezra Taft
Benson have just announced
a new administration farm
program which the President
will recommend to Congress.
The farm problem is press
ing for several reasons. One
of the most vital problems is
the huge surpluSes Of i'm
portant farm products, most
of which are held in storage
by the Federal Government
under the farm price support
programs. Another is the fact
that the costs of farm opera
ton are constantly going up,
while the farm prices are
coming down.
An important item in the
Presidents announced farm
program is a proposal to base
farm product price supports
on market prices instead Of
on the old formula, the So
called parity price formula,
based on prices of commodi-
ties, both agricultural and
nonagricultural, Of years
ago. This may be a sensible
and more realistic approach.
But some farmers in North
Dakota insist that if price
supports-on wheat for ex-
ample-are to be lowered,
there must be strong produc-
ton controls.
With bumper farm crops,
particularly corn, this year.
the fear of farmers who raise
hogs and cattle is that prices
for these meat products will
drop materially. This may be
very harmful to the Republi-
can cause in next years elec-
tions in the farm States. It
also makes it imperative that
Congress do something about
farm legislation.
The farmers in North Da-
kota have for a long time
looked with disfavor on Sec
retary of Agriculture Benson.
They still do. according to re-
ports. They do not believe he
is on their side. This is where
the Importance Of the prob
able Republican presidential
nominee becomes evident. If
he is a man the Dakota
farmers believe is friendly to
them, they will be likely to
forget Mr.. Benson, who will
not be Secretary Of Agricul-
ture after President Eisen.

Science Is F|ourishinq in Israel

Abba Eban, who is we'll re-
membered in Washington as
the former Israeli Amhassa-
dor to the United States.
After years in which the Of
fee remained vacant, he was
selected last July to succeed
Chain Weizmann as the in
stitute's president, and he
will continue to serve in the
post even though he has just
been elected to his country's
parliament, and even though
he is likely to become Foreign
Minister in Mr.. n-Gurion's
new coalition government. He
has plans, as he has told the
writer, to make the center
more active than ever inter-
nationally, especially in rela-
tion to the needs of Asian
and African nations. Among
other things, he hopes to
have representatives of these
nations participate in a spe-
cial conference at Rehovoth
toward the end of next year.
Actually, as matters stand,

already very active in the

resident scientists, are work.

range all the way from mus

to the atoms innards and
obscure ballistic problems
that have a vital bearing on
our country's security.
In a primary sense, like the
Haifa Technion and the He
brew University Of Jerusalem,
the Weizmann Institute of

benefit above all. AS Mr.. Eban
suggests, however, the entire
complex of his country's tall

ing, but the Technion and
the Hebrew University are
the best. And beyond them
are the strictly scientific es-
tablishments. To begin with,
there is Prime Minister Ben
Gurion's Research Council.
Working with this are such
organizations as the Israeli
Atomic Energy Commission
and the Negev Institute for
Arid Zone Research. The lat
ter group, which incidentally
keeps in close contact with
official American operations
in the same fields, is interest,"
ed mainly in the physiology
of desert living. the harness.
ing of the suns energy, and
the discrimination of brackish
and sea water. It's expert
mental work is highly promis-
ing, and it has made suff1-
cient progress to indicate the
possibility of breakthroughs
particularly in desaliniza-
tion-that could have a
benef1cent revolutionary ef-
feet on the life and fortunes
of all mankind in a water
hungry world.
But the most impressive
of all Israel's ventures along
the challenging frontiers of
human knowledge is the
Chain Weizmann Institute
of Science. Named after the
country's first President
an internationally famous
chemist who served also as
the Institutes first head
until his death in 1952-this
establishment has few equals
anywhere in the world. Evolv-
ing from an earlier organiza-
ton financed by philan-
thropic English Jews in the
1930S, it is 10 years old. 1t is
located in Rehovoth, a town
with a population of 10000,
not far from the bustling city
Tel Aviv. Here, in a beauti-
fully handicapped setting, in
imposing buildings spread
out over rs acres, the best of

The Republican and Demo-
cratic contest for the farm
vote will have an important
test months before the presi-
Dental election next year
and before the presidential
nominations re made in
July. 1t will take place In
North Dakota where. under
State law, a Senator is to be
elected the fourth Tuesday in
June, the first Statewide
election in 1860, to flll the
vacancy in the Senate created
by the death Of Senator
William LANCER.
North Dakota's Republican
Governor John E. Davis is ex-
pected to appoint a successor
soon after the LANCER funeral
today. 1t is reliably reported
that the Governor will not
resign and have himself ap-
pointed. Among those Repub-
licans who have been promi-
nently mentioned for the
appointment are Norm a n
Brunsdale who served three
terms as Governor immedi-
ately before the election Of
Gov. Davis; Milton Rue, long
a State Senator, and Jack
Williams, State Adjutant of
the American Legion since
formation of the Legion. Mr..
Brunsdale is a banker-farmer
in Mayf1eld in the Red River
Valley-a conservative. Mr..
Rue is a contractor in Bis
marck and was Republican
National Committeeman for
several years. Mr.. Williams is
a close friend of the Governor
who is a former State COM
mander of the American
Legion. Mr.. Brunsdale is
supposed to have the inside
track-but it is not certain.
Nominations for Senator
will be made early next year
in State conventions, in prep
aration for the campaign
which will wind up with the
June election. Whoever wins
that election will serve the
four years of Senator
Langer's unexpired term.
Gov. Davis. while unwilling
to have himself appointed
Senator, very definitely is
planning to seek senatorial
nomination in the Republican
State Convention next year.
What other Republican may
get into that contest remains
to be seen.
Burdick Race Seen
1t is expected that North
Dakota's Democratic Con-
gresham, Quentin Burdick,
will seek his party's nomina-
ton for the Senate. He was
elected to the House in 1853
running Statewide by a vote
of $4,000 to $4,000. Earlier
Mr.. Burdick was a candidate
for the Senate against Re-
publican Senator Young, and
the Senator carried every
county in the State against
him. Another possible con-
tender for the Democratic
senatorial nomination is
State Senator Ray Vendsel
who carried several counties
in the 1858 election as the
Democratic candidate against
Senator LANCER.
The Republicans believe
they can elect a successor to
Senator LANCER, notwith-
standing the fact that the
elections to Statewide Offices
have been very close in re-
cent years. largely due to de-
fection of farmers to the
Democratic side of the fence.
