Cuba Visit

Algerian Premier Ahmed Ben
Bella visited Washington and
Havana last week and had good
things to say about both places.
His lavish praise of Fidel Castro,
however, evoked resentment in
the United States.
Ahmed Ben Bella is still bask-
ing in the glory of having been a
successful revolutionary leader.
Even though he spent most of the
Algerian war in a French prison,
Mr.. Ben Bella-like other such
heroes-feels largely responsible
for the victory.
Such revolutionaries very rarely
are fully understood by stable
governments, and, moreover, they
often do not care to be understood.
Mr.. Ben Bella, for instance, was
the guest of President Kennedy
last Monday. Mr.. Kennedy is an
old supporter of the Algerians. He
had made courageous speech for
Algerian independence as a sena-
tor, infuriating the French gov
eminent.
At the White House, Mr.. Ben
Bella thanked Mr.. Kennedy for
his support, and then had a
private conference with Mr.. Ken
nedy and his foreign aid advisers.
Such visits are virtually de rigeur
for new governments welcome
at the White House and a discus
sion about future aid grant. BY
all rights, Mr.. Ben Bella should
return home, leaving a good i'm
preston in the United States.

The Unknowubie

times in his life, every man is

art or nature or human life or
books which aStoniSheS and gives

it is symbol of a thing which,

The ~" in Faulkner
How did William Faulkner &C.
quire the letter ~" in his name?
1t started with a misprint in one
of his early works, and he kept
it thereafter. John switched from
Falkner to Faulkner in the '30s.
Their mother, the late Mrs. Maude
Falkner, retained the name as it
was, and show of her paintings
is being held in the Mary Buie
Museum here. She is billed as
Mrs. William Falkner.
Johns two sons, also oxford
residents, have taken opposite
courses. James M. spells it with
a III" and hurry does not.
The Oxonians remember Will
liam Faulkner as reserved man,
although he walked into town
center most days to get his mail.
This reserve had been noted by
others, including President Ken
nedy, with whom William declined
to dine at the White House last
April because ut seemed like o
long way to go to eat"
William also is remembered
as man who never went to see
his books as served up by Holly
wood on the silver screen and
he was chary of autographing
his books. They recall that he
refused to sign many times by
asking how many of Shakespeare's
works were extant bearing the
signature of the Bard.
Yet, when Bill Faulkner won
the Nobel Prize in 1949, he set
UP a scholarship fund for the
young people of Lafayette County
with the $4,000 award.
When Bill Faulkner died, the
services were conducted at his
home, and a handful of friends
and relatives were at the grave
site he had selected. The Rev.
Duncan F. Gray, jr., rector of st.
Peters Episcopal Church, the
most outspoken critic in the
State Of the lawlessness and vio-
lence that has wracked Missis-
sippi, presided at the burial.
Bill Faulkner was buried, per
request, in a simple pine box.
The finest requiem at his pass
ing was spoken by his boyhood
friend, John Cullen, who said:
I'm the great unknown and I'M

Bill, I hope you find our old
hunting friends, and I want you
to be on the lookout for me and
Uncle Bud, because it won't be

AdouIo Position

Last week, Mr.. Adoula indicated
that he, too, was losing patience.
He has been under attack by rad
ical members of his Parliament
who have advocated stronger &C
ton against Katanga, and he
finds it hard to keep talking with
Mr.. Tshombe in the face of his
refusal to give up the secession.
He declared in a press confer
ence on Thursday that Mr..
Tshombe was still stalling, and
not showing willingness to CO.
operate. He asked the U. N. to
put into effect the promised
economic boycott.
Mr.. Adoula found little merit in
q cease-fire signed in Elisabeth
vile on Monday by Mr.. Tshombe
e.1 a Leopoldville representative.
Such a pact, Mr. Adoula said,
only leads Mr.. Tshombe to be-
lieve he really heads a sovereign
state.
The U. NJ, however, is not likely
to advocate boycott at this time.
Most likely, the U. Ms Congo
Commission will advocate con-
tinued patience in dealing with
Mr.. Tshombe. The United States

The Politics

Undoubtedly, there are many
right-wing Conservatives, the
John Bull, pipe-smoking club
members, who would prefer that
England stayed out of the Euro
pean "mess." But when political
power is challenged, as it is to-
day, the Tories seem better able
to rally around the flag than the
loud, but often split, opposition.
Under Mr.. Macmillan's' leader
ship, the party's image has been
rejuvenated in recent months.
Partly, this was accomplished by
radical surgical job the
custer of most of the old-time
cabinet members, including pop
ular Selwyn Lloyd, former Chan
cellor of the Exchequer.
But basically, the image" was
altered by the straightforward
act of aligning the Tories with
the most progressive forces in
the West. He has even stolen the
thunder from the small, but
growing, Liberal Party, long the
most vocal in England for closer
ties with Europe.
He has asked for change, &C.
knoWledging that in the past, the
British people have been too set
in our ways, too apt to cling to
old privileges, too apt to fear new
methods" He has answered critics
with economic arguments and
political finesse. Mr.. Macmillan
has undoubtedly been helped by
a favorable press - except for
the Beaverbrooks papers and
an astute negotiator with the
Six, Mr. Heath.
Labor's image has been altered,

u. N. Demands

Both sides agreed in early Sep
TENDER, but, as usual, progress
has been slow in putting the prin-
ciples into effect. Joint Congo
commissions, aided by United Ma
tons technicians, have met in
Illustration. A new constitution
. has been framed by United Ma
tons specialists, but is not to the
liking of Katanga. Mr.. Thant has
nearly run out of patience, faced
with the growing costs of keep
ing troops and technicians in the
Congo.
He has warned that unless Mr..
Tshombe acts in good faith, he
will suggest that the United Ma
lions vote economic sanctions.
Such a move could easily pass
the General Assembly where the
Soviet-Asian-African bloc detests
Mr.. Tshombe. But such a move
would have serious repercussions
in the United States where Mr..
Tshombe has considerable sup
port outside the government.

Practicable

Actually, while Mr.. Ben Bella
may have been rude, he was pre-
dictable. There are several French
bases still on Algerian soil as a
result of the terms of the cease
fire. Mr.. Ben Bella, whose main
support comes from the left wing
of the revolutionary movement, is
committed to forcing the French
out of Algeria.
Thus, by advocating with Mr..
Castro, an evacuation of all for
eign bases from national soil, he
was putting in a strong plug fos
forcing the French out of Algeria.
Mr.. Ben Bella, however, did not
indulge in the anti-Yanquis po-
lemics of Mr.. Castro. He limited
himself to praising the Cuban
revolution, but noted that his
country preferred to be non
aligned.
The true test of the Algerian
government will come at home
where large and very real eco
nomic questions still must be
solved. And for this, Mr.. Ben
Bella will need massive help from
all sides.

too. Mr.. Gaitskell, to many Labor
ties chagrin, has become the
champion of England's old tradi-
tions, the spokesman for Com
monwealth interests, and the an
tagonist of a united Europe. His
arguments against joining are
partly economic and partly SEN
timental, but most people believe
his main motives are political.
Public opinion polls have in
Dictated that the Labor Party
would win if an election were
held now. Since the government
- in power now for II years -
is not obliged to hold an election
until 1864, it is in Mr.. Gaitskell's
interest to force general elections
as soon as possible.
The polls do not reveal, how
ever, how the country would vote
if the Common Market were the
principal issue. Mr.. Gaitskel can
force an election probably by
two means: BY stating that a
Labor government would not be
bound by any agreement signed
by the Tories, or if the Market
Six wanted a public show of SEN
timent before agreeing to Eng
lands entry.
1t Is not clear whether such
an election would, in fact, benefit
the Laborites. Either they could
lose and be. split for years. Or
they could win, and possibly be in
the position Of being isolated in
the west.
But while the political attacks
at home ran be expected to in
crease in intensity, the real bat
ties will be fought in Brussels
in the next three months. For if
the Six agrees to Britain's entry
on terms that are agreeable to
the Tories, much of Labors crit
icism will undoubtedly be muted.

trial markets, the Soviets resort
to barter deals with the less-de-
veloped countries. The strategy
here is to swap Red oil for what
ever food, fiber or raw materials
the particular country has to offer.
10 Trade DeoIs
The Soviet bloc now has at
least 10 trade agreements involv-
ing oil with 36 nations. Two
thirds of Red oil exports are to
industrialized countries. Western
Europe in 1861 imported about
100000 barrels a day of Soviet
bloc oil-with Italy taking 10000
barrels a day, Western Germany
$4,000 barrels, and Sweden $4,000
barrels. Japan buys $4,000 barrels
a day from the Communists. In
some of the less-developed coun-
tries, Soviet oil has penetrated
much deeper, proportionately.
Ten years ago Russia was a
negligible factor in world oil mar
kets. In 1858, only $4,000 barrels
a day of Red oil entered free
world markets. In the first half
of 1862, however, the Soviet bloc
exported some $4,000 barrels a
day of crude oil and products
to the free world. It is now esti-
mated that by 1865, the Soviet
bloc will have available a surplus
Of about l. million barrels day
for export to the free world.
Western estimates are that
known oil reserves in the Soviet
bloc total up to so billion bar
rels- almost twice as much as
United States reserves. In 1852
Soviet production was less than
l million barrels a day. Today
the Russians are getting their oil
out of the ground at the rate
of 35 million barrels day. They
expect to produce 5 million barrels
a day in 1865, and 7.8 million
barrels in 1870. Current United
States production is about rs
million barrels daily0
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-10-21

About 20 per cent of Russia's
future production is marked for
export. The Russians are working
hard to develop facilities for
moving their oil cheaply and eff
ficiently. They are improving their
ports and harbors, manufacturing
more railroad tank cars, con-
structing new tankers and refin-
cries, and building a vast pipe
line system to the periphery of
the free world.
The largest Red pipeline, re-
Gently renamed the Friendship
Line" will be capable of deliv-
ering l million barrels Of oil a
day to refineries in Poland, Hun
gary, Czechoslovakia and East
Germany. Other lines now under
construction will add over 100000
barrels a day to Soviet pipeline
capacity. Recently, Premier Khru-
shchev renewed his offer to ex-
tend one of these lines to the
Sea of Japan, if the Japanese
agreed to buy Red oil and supply
the Soviets with steel pipe.
Free World Helps
Obtaining large quantities Of
pipe has not been difficult for
the Kremlin-for European and
Japanese businessmen have been
eager to run their pipeline mills
at capacity for the Russians. One
country one-Italy-is supply
ing the Soviet Union with about
one million tons of pipe, in ex-
change for Red oil. This is
enough steel pipe to build a 81
h-diameter oil pipeline from
New York to San Francisco.
To increase it's tanker fleet,
the Soviet Union has been char
tering free world vessels and also
has placed orders for the construc-
ton of new tankers in Finland,
France, Italy, Japan, Denmark
and the United Kingdom. Well
over one millions tons of Russian
tanker tonnage was on order or
