UnrufHed

Soviet Deputy Premier Anas-
tas I. Mikoyan arrived in Ha-
vana Thursday for a state visit.
On Friday as he prepared to
speak at the formal opening of
the Soviet Exhibition, a furry
of shooting near the platform
marred the ceremony and sent
him to cover temporarily.
When Mr.. Khrushchev's right
hand deputy visited the United
States last year, he demonstrated
his unusual effectiveness as a
salesman for his country and its
ways Much Of the advance work
for the later visit of Nikita Khru-
shchev was credited to Mr.. Mi
koyan and his astute and tactful
demeanor during his American
tour.
Last week the ubiquitous Soviet
salesman was in Cuba, prepared
to add more sunlight to the al
ready warming atmosphere sur
rounding Russian Cuban rela-
tions. Former Dictator Fulgencio
Batista broke off diplomatic re-
lations with Cuba when he
charged that Communists were
supporting and financing Cuban
rebels, and Mr. Mikoyan found
no Soviet Ambassador to Cuba
on hand when his jet transport
streaked in to Havana'S airport.
But the Soviet Ambassador to
Mexico served as a temporary
substitute.
Occasion for the Deputy Pre-
mier's visit was the opening of
the Soviet Exhibition in Havana
the same that impressed Ameri-
cans in its New York display last
summer Just before going to the
platform to make the opening
address, Mr.. Mikoyan and his
party laid a huge floral wreath,
bearing the Soviet hammer and
sickle, at the base of the statue of
Jose Marti. Cuba's national hero.
A few minutes later, as the cere-
monies at the exhibition began, a
burst of gunfire around the Marti
statue interrupted the proceed
ings. No one, apparently, was
shooting at Mr.. Mikoyan, and
he preserved his usual calm while
confusion prevailed around him.

Algerian extremist plans to seize
French communications in a swift
strike at the Paris government.
BY yesterday the constable of
France" almost by his own single
will, had ended the Algerian re-
volt. He held in his hands the SUI
preme authority in France, polit-
ical, moral and military. He had
held the dubious loyalty of frus-
trated army. He had the support
of almost all classes and opinions
among Frenchmen. And signif1-
cantly, reports from TuniS, where
the provisional government of Al
geria holds forth, described Mos
lem reaction to the De Gaulle
triumph as "astoniShed and de-
lighted" The doubts, long held by
the Moslem rebels, that Gen. de
Gaulle could make a fair settle
ment with the Moslems against
the bitter opposition of the AL
gerian colons had at last been
resolved.
The capital of France remains
in Paris.

THE NATIONAL SCENE
Debate Over the Defense Gap
Primarily q Political Matter
THE NATIONAL SCENE

The great defense debate pro-
duced confusion compounded
last week, with Democratic crit
les seizing on Air Force gen.
erals testimony to allege that the
United States is entering a Pc
riOd of great danger, and the
administration asserting that
there is now no deterrent gap"
nor will one be permitted to
occur.
President Eisenhower, faced
with "a revolt of the bomber
generals" blasted their "parO-
chial" views.
After three weeks of slam bang
debate on the status of United
States military power vis-a-vis the
Soviet Union, the American people
have an incontestable right to be
confused.
They have heard Democratic
leaders in Congress, making pes
simiStic interpretations of the tes-
timony of Air Force witnesses,
charge that the United States is
heading for perhaps its most per-
Nous period in history.
They have read newspaper ac-
counts of the same congressional
hearings which fail to agree with
the import of the military wit
nesSes' testimony.
And they have heard the ad-
miniStration, led by President
Eisenhower, counter that the
United States has sufficient
strength, not only in bombers and
ICBMs, but in aircraft carrier
planes and submarine-fired mis-
sileS, to deter any Soviet surprise
attack or, if the Russians act reck-
leSSly, to retaliate with enough
force to destroy the Soviet Union.
But if the American people are
confused they are apparently not
alarmed. The fight still is strictly
a partisan one Republican men,
bers of Congress are remaining
behind the administration. The
burden still is on the critics to
convince public opinion that there
is something terribly wrong-if
they can.

Stand of JCS

The other three members of the
Joint Chiefs, Gen. Nathan F.
Twining, the chairman, Admiral
Arleigh A. Burke of the Navy and
Gen. Lyman L. Lemnitzer of the
Army agree with the President.
Gen. White also took pains to
explain that Gen. Power, in say
ing that 300 ballistic missiles could
virtually wipe out our retaliatory
forces, was speaking Of a "hypo-
thetical" situation.
United States intelligence re-
portedly gives the Russians $50
ICBMs on launching pads late
in 1861. If these missiles are so
per cent reliable, it would mean
the Russians would need a mini
mum of 800 before they could be
certain of destroying all SAC
bases-if everything else went ac-
cording to plan. But the Russians
have always sought much greater
odds than even-money before
launching a military attack
usually, according to one Army
intelligence officer, about 5 to /.
At any rate, by the end of 1861,
there should be a minimum Of
five Polaris submarines at sea
and not vulnerable to surprise
missile attack, armed with a total
of 80 hydrogen weapons. This is
enough, perhaps, to atomize As
Russian cities.
The cost of the airborne alert
of 100 B-52 bombers has been
estimated from $500 million to 81.

of the cost may be gained by

es: $340 an hour per aircraft for
fuel; $4,000 for maintenance per

On With the Speech

After a measure of quiet had
been restored, he went on with his
speech. Cuban officials just
wouldn't talk about the cause of
the shooting, but witnesses near
the statue reported that a group
of anti-Communist Cuban stu
dents had clashed with pro-CaStro
students in a fight over the Mi
koyan wreath Police broke up the
battle and arrested number of
participants.
The incident was discounted as
any serious attempt on the Soviet
visitors. But diplomats in Ha-
vana seemed impressed by the
fact that anti-Castro and anti
Communist elements felt strong
enough to demonstrate so openly.
The shooting itself, it was believed,
came from the revolvers of ner-
vous Castro policemen attempting
to disperse the rioters.
Yesterday, as a precaution. the
movements of Mr.. Mikoyan were
kept a secret. Mr.. Castro wants
no more ti-Communist incidents
to mar the visit, and Cuban news
papers played down the Friday
riot with a few lines on inside
pages.
In his exhibition remarks, Mr..
Mikoyan praised the Castro ex-
preparation program as a step to
return to the workers and peas
ants the means of production"
He reminded his hosts that the
Soviet Union, in its revolution.
had appropriated all means of
production for the use of the
workers and peasants" without
compensation to private owners.
The Castro regime has promised
compensation.

Looks to Future

President de Gaulle wasted no
time in celebration. He moved
swiftly to prevent even the posi-
bility of repetition of the dan
gerous events of "the eight days"
First he asked, through Premier
Michel Debre, that the Parliament
grant him extraordinary powers
provided for in the De Gaulle-
conceived constitution of the Fifth
Republic. He got them in top
heavy Assembly vote of 449 to 70,
with only the extreme right and
the Communists opposed. He won
a similar Endorsement from the
Senate. Now, for a period of a
year, the man whom the late Pres
ident Roosevelt called Joan of
Arc" will run France by executive
order. At the end of that period
he must report to the Parliament
what he has done, and the law
makers will be free to accept or
reject long after the fact.

bombers in the air "a hours a day
to protect it against a surprise
missile attack. Senator johnson
of Texas supported the idea in

But Mr.. Eisenhower made it
plain he has no intention of in
stituting such a desperate move
unless new intelligence reports
demonstrate its clear necessity
Meanwhile, he has asked for $50
million to help the Air Force stock
extra aircraft engines and train
crews for this kind of emergency.
The President explained in a
message to Congress last month
that an airborne alert is not now
wise or necessary. Last week, at
news conference, he bristled at
Gen. Powers recommendation and
the generals reaffirmation after
Mr.. Gates had called it unreal
istic." He said:
There are too many of these
generals (who) have all sorts Of
ideas. . .. cannot be particularly
disturbed because everybody with

Chairman Johnson told re-

agreed there should be an i'm

said Senator Johnson must have
misinterpreted his remarks, that

Middle East:
Border Flare

Last Monday an Israeli detail
blew up the buildings in the
deserted village of Tawafik, in
the demilitariZed zone between
Israel and Syria. Syrian troops
were building emplacements in
the houses, the Israelis charged.
Sporadic clashes along the al
ways-exploSive borders between
Israel and her implacable Arab
neighbors have occurred ever since
the United Nations Mixed Armis-
tice Commission demilitarized the
border and policed the uneasy
truce agreed to in 1850. Most of
them are of the localized variety
and are quickly contained. But
last weeks zone fareup was viewed
seriously as a major threat to the
precariouS peace.
The direct action by an Israeli
detachment in leveling the build
ings of a deserted village in the
demilitarized zone brought swift
Arab reaction. In Egypt, United
Arab Republic troops were moved
up to the Sinai Peninsula border
with Israel. In Syria, patrols
were strengthened. artillery banged
away, and UAR Mig jet fighters
clashed with Israeli Air Force
MYSTERIES. Patrol clashes took
place along a 40-mile stretch of
the border, with killed and
wounded on both sides.
In Jerusalem, the United States
Ambassador, Ogden Reid, called
on Israeli Foreign Minister Golda
Meir to urge restraint. A number
Of other ENJOYS followed suit, and

mission called on both sides to

appealed to both contestants to
meet at the conference table in an
effort to remove the irritants that
have brought on the border fight
ing.
Israeli authorities are openly
impatient with the stalemate ex-
listing between the little but pow
erful Jewish state and her Arab
neighbors. The Israeli Chief of
Staff, Mai. Gen. Hahn Laskov,
warned Friday that further bor-
der incidents would bring stern
reprisals" by the Israeli Army.

WeIshine on Agreements
In closing the canal Nasser is
welshing on two private agree
ments. From 1857 to 1859, as part
of a bargain under which Israel
withdrew its troops from GAIA,
Israeli goods went freely through
the canal in ships of other ma
tionalities. In early 1859 Nasser
began seizing such cargoes. This
was the first broken agreement.
After months of negotiations,
U. N. Secretary General Dag Ham
marskjold believed he had solved
the problem. Nasser agreed to
give free passage to goods whose
legal ownership was not Israeli.
Title would pass to the purchaser
before the ship left Israel, or re-
main in the name.
The Israelis tested this scheme
last December. The Greek vessel
Astypalea was sent quietly to the
canal with a cargo of cement
which was no longer Israeli prop
erty. Contrary to his assurances
Nasser seized the ship and stuck
to this position despite a direct
personal appeal from Hammar-
skiold in Cairo last month.
Some major motive must lie
behind such conduct, U. N. people
say. They believe Nasser is build
ing up bargaining power with
which to try to prevent the tap
ping of the Jordan.
The Israelis, to whom the Jor-
dan project is perfectly legitimate,
are furious, both with Nasser and
with Hammarskjold. whom they
blame for not taking a more
fortnight public stand.
FouIt on Both Sides
1t is in this context that the
incidents on the Galilean shore
are being viewed. U. N. people
do not charge that Ben-Gurion
picked a quarrel with Syria; they
say there was fault on both sides.

again are being hoisted at the
United Nations and in virtually
every other diplomatic capital
intimately concerned with the
Middle East.
The machine-gun fire and NOR
tar blasts which echoed across
the Sea of Galilee last week were
a surface manifestation of ten
sions which go much deeper and
which are reaching critical in
tensity.
Israel is preparing to tap the
waters of the River Jordan to ir-
rigate the vast, arid Negev-the
wilderness across which Moses led
the children of Israel in their 40
year exodus from Egypt.
Long, difficult efforts were made
In the early l950s to persuade the
Arab states to join with Israel in
cooperative exploitation of the
Jordan. Some Arabs were willing;
others refused. So the plan ulti-
mately broke down.
Israel then resolved to go ahead
and take her share of the water.
She began building the necessary
pipelines, canals and pumping
stations. After more than four
years of work. this project is now
nearing completion.
Threot Of War
To the Arabs, the project is
both frustrating and infuriating.
Responsible Arab leaders have
said they would go to war the
day Israel begins tapping the Jor-
dan River. They do not trust
Israel to take her fair share. or
they dispute the amount to be
considered fair.
The Jordan is by no means an
unlimited source of water. For
much of its length, it is little
more than a sizeable creek. Above
the Sea of Galilee, it looks like
New England trout stream,
roughly four good strides across.

TO do asOay with much of the hard hand labor non
necessary 10 handle forage during harvesting,
storing and feeding.
Every farmer knows what a backbrealling job
handling and storing bulky hay can be, even
with the aid of mechanical handling systems.
The USDA, looking for new ways to make
work on the farm easier, and more efficient,
has developed an unusual process for prepar-
ing forage. It's practical method by which
windrowed forage is compressed into waters
for ease of handling, storage and feeding. USDA
scientists have found that watering is more
desirable method of field-processing chopped
or long forage for dairy cattle than pelleting
hay after it is finely ground. The waters them
selves make ideal cattle feed as they are easy
to handle and highly palatable as well.
Portable watering machines are presently
being produced by commercial firms that will
produce up to tons of waters per hour The
machines will pick the forage up directly from
windrows and will turn out waters in the shape
and size that the individual farmer finds most
practical They'll be able to wafer wide range
of crops from legumes to grass-legume mix
lures containing at least 500 legumes.

The USDAs Agricultural Research Service, in CO.
operation with the Georgia Experiment Station, has
developed way of managing a rotation of Coastal
Bermuda grass and corn so that the grass will re-
establish itself without reseeding. Reestablishing
grass after is harvested is major expense to
growers. The method works in four-year cycles
year of and three of grass After tilage and
the planting of the corn the grass begins to recover
forming good sod before corn-harvest time without
interfering with production. This that the
surface of the soil is left unprotected for only about
three months in the entire our-year rotation, that
there is virtually chance of erosion. A good hay

At this time Coastal Bermuda is the only desirable
grass that is known to work under this rotation
agement method. Therefore, the practice is now
limited to such the southeastern states where
this grass will grow.
