The seminary student is tall,

has spent his spare time with a
gang from the sordid Mont

on his own, but his superiors

He has been Joined by q

months to tame them"

Mr.. Barreau approached the
gang one day as 1t was in the
midst Of q street-corner discus

reticent.

MoteIs on
Neqey Site

CINCINNATI, Sept. 80 (AP)
DIR. Nelson Glueck of Cincin-
natl, who spends his summers
exploring Israel's Negev Desert
wasteland, says he has found
what appear to be the motels
OF 1000 years ago.
DR.. Glueck, president of He
brew Union College-Jewish In
stitute Of Religion here, said
he has tracked down old camp
sites on what may have been q
major East-West trade route
across the Nesev.
He contends, after making
archaeological studies in re-
cent years. that the Negev once
flourished with cities, forests
and o busy civilized life.
He said the camp sites prob
ably were built BY businessmen
OF the time and operated
somewhat like modern motels
charging rent to passing cara
vans.
Some archaeologists sugges.
the route was important only
In the 18th and 18th centuries.
1t winds S. miles into present
day Jordan and joins the an
cient Kings Highway, be-
lieved to be the route used by
the Biblical Israelites In their
flight out Of Egypt.
DR.. Glueck said one camp
site covered about IL acres. He
said hundreds Of people came
here ct one time. From pottery
fragments we found in the
area, we can date the site back
to the period Of Abraham,
some 1000 years ago. Appar-
emily the site was reoccupied
5000 years ago."

Praise From Eisenhower

President Eisenhower, reafirm-
ing in the strongest terms his
absolute confidence in Mr.. Dulles,
told his press conference on
Wednesday that the Secretary
would continue in Office.
THE doctors have assured me
that there is nothing in his
disease that is going to touch
his heart and his head. L
know of no man in my knowl-
edge in the world that has
equaled his wisdom and his
knowledge in this whole compli-
Gated business. Therefore, as
long as Secretary Dulles believes
that he is in shape to carry on,
he is exactly the person I want"
AS the week ended, there were
no signs that Mr.. Dulles was in
any doubt of his ability to carry
on. He kept in touch with his
aides at the State Department both
personally and by telephone. His
doctors called in a team of cancer
specialists to assess the Secretary's
condition. On Friday, radiation
treatment was begun in the hope
of arresting the progress of the
abdominal cancer discovered a
week ago Saturday during an
operation to correct a hernia. The
patients reaction to the massive
X-ray doSageS may we'll determine
whether he will continue at the
State Departments helm.
In Western Europe, amid general
expressions of regret that the Sec
rotary was the victim of cancer,
there was uneasiness as to the
future. The impending negotia-
lions with the Kremlin-accepted
almost universally as inevitable
called for vigorous leadership
and maSterful planning.
Could an Acting Secretary of
State, however competent. sub
Stitute adequately in prestige and
power for the man who has come
to represent the West COR what
Mr.. Dulles himself likes to call
the free world almost as
personal symbol?

Shorter Work Week

The shorter work week has been
labor's traditional answer to the
problem of spreading the work"
when chronological advances elm
mated the jobs of large numbers
of workers.
The average work week in in
dustry was Sc hours in 1850. BY
1900 it had dropped to 56 hours.
by 1920 to As. 1t has stood at
slightly over 40 hours since the
late 1905, with the exception of
the overtime years of World
War II.
There is little question but that
Mr.. Meany and the AFL-CIO are
completely serious in last weeks
announced intention Of forcing a
further reduction in the work
week.
The coupling of the goal Of a
shorter work week with that Of
higher wages few in the face Of
Mr.. Eisenhower's pointed appeal
to labor unions in his economic
message last month.
He warned that wage increases
not justified by higher productivity
would bring a new round of in
fiation.

THE WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
The Turning Point Of SO

The disposition Of historians
TO present events In series Of
organized eras and periods some
times leads the undiscerning to
assume that these arbitrarily
chosen segments Of history had
ciear-cut beginnings and endings.
The final disintegration Of the
Roman Empire, for examples is
usually dated as 400 A. D., but
the crumbling-away Of the glory
that was Rome had been progress
ing for at least the first four CEN
turtles. of the Christian era, and
no historian would say that the
empire, as Of 400 A. D., had to-
tally ceased to exist.
But although historical develop
ment almost never has had sharp
chapter endings, on which the old
suddenly ceased and the new was
begun, 1t has certainly had turn
ing points readily identifiable even
at the time.
There was, for example, the
turning point Of the 1930s, when
the European security system
based on the Versailles treaty
collapsed under the attacks Of re-
surgent nationalism. That new
chapter led with memorable in
evitability to World War II. In its
aftermath came the groupings for
q new security system, quickly
transformed into the cold war
between East and West.
The cold war continues.
But so does the search, on both
sides, for q mutually acceptable
modus vivendi which seems I'M
doubtedly the only alternative to
a war Of obliteration. This year,
1859, apears more and more, with
each passing day, to be a year
Of decision. a turning point which
the historians in years to come
will cite as the crucial cross
roads reached after IL or Is years
Of seemingly unbridgeable cleav-
age between the Communist bloc
and the West,

CosteIIo's Day in Court

In the clamoring debate in the
86th Congress over President Eli
senhower's budget and economic
policies, no voice has been louder
or more critical than that of or
ganized labor.
The voice is often that of Walter
Reuther, whom some businessmen
and right-wing Republicans like
to refer to as "the most dangerous
man in America"
At other times it is the less
Strident but equally critical voice
of George Meany, speaking out
as the president of the AFL-CIO
and its 1875 million members.
Last week the harsh words d.
rected at the administration by
Mr.. Reuther and Mr.. Meany ex-
ploded into bitter personal re-
marks.
The fuse began burning in San
Juan, P. R., at the meeting
of the AFL-CIO executive council.
MI. Reuther, president of the
United Automobile Workers, laid
before his fellow labor leaders his
proposal for a march, of unem-
ployed workers on WashiL gton.
Purpose of the march, as Mr..
Reuther explained it, would be to
"Shatter the complacency" of the
EicaV1h Ouyor adY1oiy1icfro fiO,, f0uyorJ
continuing high unemployment in
the Nation.
At his Wednesday news confer
ance MI Eisenhower was asked
what he thought of Mr.. Reuther's
idea In haunting terms, he re-
piled:
II believe that news item came
out of Puerto Rico.
There, people must be on the
sunny beaches; / don't know
whether they are going to march
from there over to this foggy
Washington or not"
From Mr. Reuther came a swift
and angry rejoinder:
Mr.. President, I have spent no
time on the sunny beaches of
Puerto Rico nor have I been with
you and your many big-business
friends on the golf courses, the
duck blinds or the quail hunts"
Mr.. Meany's reaction:
I'VE are in the American labor
movement and we can go any
damn place we please to hold a
meeting"
The waSpiSh words dramatized
and deepened an old feud between
organized labor and the Republl-
can Party. 1t was a feud that
would spit and sputter through
the 1860 elections.
