LONE, Togo.-Togo, a state
so small that a man in a fast
car can light a cigar at one
border and still be putting when
he leaves the country, today
became Africa's 18th independ-
ent nation.
Thousands of natives danced
in the brightly lit, palm lined
streets Of LONE early today,
celebrating the Independence
which came at midnight.
Gaily dressed Togolese and
hundreds of foreign diplomats
and officials f1ocked to this
West African capital to take
part in the festivities, the As
sociated Press reported.
Representatives of more than
80 nations, including United
States Attorney General Rogers,
watched the French tricolor
f1utter down as independence
was ushered in. In its place the
new republics flag went up,
white star on a red field with
green and yellow stripes.
LONE, which had been build
ing up to the climax for two
days, exploded in wild celebra-
ton when the moment came.
Rousing national songs echoed
as dancing crowds snaked along
the sandy sidewalks behind
strident bands.

has as many people as Kansas

tested plebiscite in which more
than 40 per cent of the voters
opposed the union.

Three Are Critical

But the bill is far from salts
factory to many Senators, includ-
ing three Democrats who are
running for the presidential NOM
ination: Mr.. johnson and Sena-
tors Kennedy and Symington.
A strong move is therefore ex-
pected this week in the Senate to
produce a measure more along the
lines of the Forand bill which was
rejected earlier in House commit
tee. This bill would have expanded
the Social Security insurance pro-
gram to provide disqualification
and surgical care for pensioners.
Increased Social Security taxes
would finance the cost, estimated
at $l.2 billion a year.
A third legislative problem for
the JohnSon-Rayburn leadership
concerns the minimum wage. Last
week the Senate Labor Commit
tee voted a bill, similar to one
passed by the House Labor Com
mittee, which would lift the min
imum wage from 81 an hour to
$1.25 in three annual rises and
extend coverage to million ad-
ditional workers.

In general, the Swiss press views
the cancellation of President Eli

feat for the American President
and for American policy in general.
NEUE BERNER zEITUNG (daily

cause of the events in Japan and
the lack of a correct evaluation
of the situation by the American
State Department after the fail
ure of the summit conference.
Actually, the American diplomats
have acted as though nothing had
happened in Paris. and have per-
sisted in advising the American
Presidents trip. Originally, Presi-
dent Eisenhower was to have gone
to the Far East after his visit
to Moscow, from which he would
have arrived in Asia as the rep
resentative Of a policy of easing
tension. Had that taken place,
even japanese leftist opposition
would hardly have been able to
succeed in arranging street dem
onStrations against President Eli
Senhower. nor would they have
succeeded in gathering enough op-
position to the security pact,
which would have only been re-
garded as a simple formality.

The National Scene

On Wednesday, by a vote of 7
to 5, the House Rules Committee
refused to permit a conference.
All four Republican members and
three Southern Democrats voted
against it.
What Mr.. Rayburn can do about
this situation is, of course, de-
batable. The Republicans hold
the key and, as the Associated
Press has said, they are not pre-
pared to turn it unless liberal
Democrats agree to a provision
calling for the States to match
Federal funds. The bill is not
dead yet. With the November
elections closing in, leaders of
both parties would like to take
action on the growing national
problem of the classroom shortage.

China's territory, as "a provoca-

The paper notes that, as dis
closed by United States informa-

is designed to reafflrm United

arouse still higher indignation
among the $50 million Chinese

"Eisenhower's meeting with
Chaing Kai-shek-which is in
fact a meeting between a chief
gangster just caught redhanded
with a traitor and pirate in his
hideout in TaiWan-will certainly
pour oil on the anti-United States
imperialism flame which is burn
ing in the hearts of the Chinese
people in Taiwan."

For Israeli:
Gentle Rap

The United Nations Security
Council Thursday voted to ask
Israel to give Argentina rep
aration" for the violation Of
Argentine sovereignty in the
seizure of Adolf Eichmann, for
mer NaZi leader.
Argentina wasn't really angry,
it seems, but was determined to
take a stand for the inviolability
of national sovereignty. That was
the apparent situation last week
as the Security Council debated
the issue OF the clandestine kid
naping of Adolf Eichmann in
Argentina and his removal to an
Israeli prison for trial.
During the debate, Israeli's For
eign Minister Mrs. Golda Meir ad-
mitted the seizure and expressed
Israel's regrets. The kidnapers,
she said, we're not agents Of the
Israeli government and their &C
ton had not been authorized. But
she ruled out very firmly any
question of returning Eichmann
to Argentina.
After the quiet and courteous
debate, the council voted, 8 to o,
to require Israel to offer "appro-
pirate satisfaction" to Buenos
Aires. 1t was left up to per
sonal interpretation" remarked

The NEWS CHRONICLE-The
paper says the warmth of Presi-

South Korea cannot compensate
for the ignominy he faced in
OkinaWa a few hours earlier. After
the trouble in Japan, it was in
evitable that there would be dis
cord in Okinawa, where resent
ment has been brewing for a long
time about the territory's occupied
status. President EisenhoWer'S
visit was just the spark that the
power keg required. The resulting
explosion, it says, will make ex-
cellent propaganda in Moscow
and Peking. But something can
still be salvaged from the debris
it caused if the Americans will
now ask themselves how such re-
sentiment toward them has come
about. To admit the error of their
ways. especially regarding their
attitudes to China, will need a
good deal of heart-searching, but
the facts have been made too OBJ
viouS to be ignored"
