as q lawmaker. For that reason he
assumed the leadership Of the
fight to end the filibuster.
To him 1t was not simply q
question Of equal rights for Ne
grOes, although racial injustice
looms large In Clark's thinking.
Nor was it that he wanted to test
the sincerity Of his Democratic
colleagues, to see how far they
would go in unfolding the Los
Angeles platform which was COM
mitted to revising the senate's
rules.
Clark believes in party "respon-
sibility''. He has grave doubts that
understandable deals are the best
way Of fulfilling the party's oblig-
atoms. He feels that straightfor-
ward. above-board tactics pay off
in the long run
Because he adheres 80 deeply to
principle, Clark proposed that both
the Senate Judiciary and Finance
Committees be enlarged to include
more Senators from the midwest
North and Far West, rather thar
allowing the committees to be
stacked with members from the
Old South He also felt anyone
who did not support the national
ticket, should be replaced as com.
nittee chairman.

The Judiciary Committee and
the Finance Committee are headed
respectively by Sens Eastland Of
AIississippi and Byrd Of Virginia

Of the Kennedy program, Clark
notes. Yet medical care for thu

ship" came up with two quick
answers to Clark. First, they said
he was Haunting Senate traditions
OF seniority. Byrd and Eastland
had, by longevity IL nothing else,
earned their present eminent posi-
tons.
Then the Old Guard accused
Clark Of seeking to punish these
two stalwarts because they dis
agreed with his viewpoint
To the second point Clark made
this reply:
1T Is an affront to the Ameri-
can people, to whom we made our
promises, and to the President,
who was the spokesman Of all
Democrats in making them, to de-
liver his measures to Senators
who have sworn their opposition
to these measures.
There II no law requiring that
we do 80. There is no Senate rule
requiring that we do 30. but the
failure Of the Steering Committee
to nominate Democratic commit
tee members representative Of the
Senate was due, in turn, TO the
failure OF Senate Democrats to In
sist that the Steering COMMITTEES
itself be representative +. !"
e.
To the first point, Clark could
only respond with pained amaze
ment.
Clark's reward for prodding
his colleagues was that the new
Senate leader, Mike Mansfield ot
Montana, let the inner circle deny
him q coveted place on the Senate
Foreign Relations COMMITTEES.
BY this act, Mansfield and his
associates may have destroyed the
so-caIled seniority" argument.
For the man chosen in Clark's
place was Sen. Dodd %. Conn.,,

service.
This business Of Furnishing q
man for speaking his mind and In
sisting on adherence to campaign
pledges might look like brilliant
politics to the small men who have
led the Senate these many years.

FAREWELL MESSAGE by Chap lain Stenb2rc
 Any minister, or any public speaker for that matter, knows that not every word spoken is heard. Further, it is known that not even F.everyc word written in "SUN" article is readily They do not have to be. It is the thought presented that is usually of most importance.
 There has been prayer with each sermon or article that it be for the special benefit for each nearer mread- CT. Maybe that is why more than one of you has said, Ut seemed as if you were talking directly to me-" or, Tt seems as if that article was one of the things I was just talking about"
 Ihis would be mystery, were itnot fa4 tn that God is answering a prayer. Tho o3ayer is that this be the message lie vould have you givens It then be- co125 the Holy Spirit working. If Chs plain's message seems to strike "home' it nay very well be that this is the rh:* sage God has given him for you.
 That is why so often the words of srxmon or an article are viewed differ- cr-,!y by di fferent people. To you the nearer or the reader can be in- terpreted the thought you need from the text for the day. The preacher is powerless wi ithout the working of the Spirit.

Associated Press staff Writer

CAIRO, Egypt, Sept. 30
Whatever the final result of the
Syrian revolt, it already has
caused splits in the Arab World
that will be a long time healing.
The revolt may also ease the
isolation into which 1raq was
forced after the unsuccessful
attempt by Premier Abdel
Karin Kassem to annex Ku-
wait last summer.
AS Arab nations choose up
sides for and against the Syri-
ans, Mr.. Kassem may find new
allies. The likeliest is Jordan,
which announced in the name
Of King Hussein its best wishes
for the success of the revolu-
tion.
This move is almost certain
to focus the wrath Of Cairo'S
radio again on the young king.
who may then look with more
favor on Iraq's anti-Nasser
regime.
Another delicate problem is
that of newly independent
Mauritania, which is claimed
by Morocco. Morocco was quick
to voice support of Mr.. Nasser
and in payment evidently
would like Egypt to keep
backing Morocco's Mauritanian
claims.
Such nations as Lebanon and
Saudi Arabia have been notably
reluctant thus far to express
themselves about the Syrian
crisis. While such restraint is
possibly automatically wise, it
can hardly endear them to
either side.
The Syrian revolt has height
ened strains in the Arab
League and this may be re-
flected in such places as the
Asian-African bloc in the
United Nations.
Until now Mr.. Nasser has
been generally recognized, how
ever, reluctantly by some, as
the general spokesman for the
Arab World.

Communist East German po-

Of West Berlin.
Witnesses reported the Red

600 feet wide running along

Steinstuecken, populated by

Mr.. NaSser retains a fedora
ton treaty with Yemen, q
backward Red Sea kingdom
ruled by the autocratic Imam
Ahmed. But this has become
largely a paper alliance.
The Imam was at the height
Of his popularity when he de-
cided to make overtures to Mr.
Nasser in 1858 after Syria anc
Egypt merged. He sought ways
to quiet younger Yemenites dis.
satisfied with their country S
primitive conditions.
At the same time. the Imam
wanted to keep absolute powers
and was unwilling to enter into
a merger with Egypt. He sent
his son. Crown Prince Mo-
BANNED al Badr, to Cairo to
work out a formula.
A loose federation was ar
ranged. Aside from formal as
poets, however. the treaty never
was made a working proposition
At one time. a closed union
appeared likely. The Imam left
for medical treatment in Europe
and the Crown Prince set about
instituting reforms in his
fathers absence. Several hun
dred Egyptian technicianS were
asked for and sent to Yemen
These reforms were we'll un-
