AsU. N. Bonds
Spark Debate
BY the Associated Press

Secretary of State Rusk goes
to Capitol Hill today to brief
members OF the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee on world
trouble spots. One possible Sub
ject for discussion is proposed
United States purchase of
United Nations bonds.
Mr.. Rusk appears before a
closed session of the committee
as Congressman continue to
voice their opinion of President
kennedy's proposal for au-
thority to purchase half of a
$20O-million U. N. bond issue.
The 25-year, 2 per cent
bonds would help pay the cost
of U. N. operations in the
Congo and the Middle East.
The President did not go into
great detail about his proposal
in his state-of the Union mes
sage last week and his request
is not yet formally before
Congress.
Even so, the debate is build
ing, and the congressional di-
vision is not strictly along
party lines.
Cooper Gives Support

F. Byrd of Virginia, has been
persistent in his opposition to
the idea. Yesterday, a Repub-
lican. Senator Cooper of Ken
lucky, swung behind it.
We've committed ourselves
to it We're in it and I'll
vote for it," he said of the
U. N. financing plan.
But Senator Cooper added in
a television interview. the Uni
ted States should inform all
nations it will not continue
such aid unless they pay up
their U. N. assessments.

mad told them they hoped the
l04-nation Assembly would
adopt a moderate, meaningful
resolution that would push the
Portuguese toward Self-deter-
raination for Angola.
But Portugal contended that
the Assembly had no right to
even discuss its big West Afri-
can territory. 1t maintained
that all Portuguese overseas
territorities are provinces, not
colonies, and their control is a
domestic matter outside the As
sembly's jurisdiction.
Boycott Possible
There was speculation that
the Portuguese delegation n
would boycott the Angola de-
bate as 1t did on a similar
occasion last April. And sources
in Lisbon have predicted that
Portugal would quit the U. N

Itself since the break with

1t quickly became clear that the
seven men who touched off the
revolt were in serious trouble.
The origins Of this contro-
veESy lie in the frustrated hopes
that marked the short life of
the United Arab Republic.
When Syria threw in her lot
with Egypt. the immediate rea-
con was a threatened Commu-
mist coup d'etat. But for most
Syrians there was also in the
union an idealiSm bordering on
ventimentality.

ser could boast of sweeping
economic and social reforms in
his own country. And there is
no doubt that many Syrians, in
backing union, looked forward
to stability and prosperity they
had not known before.
Results Disappointing
There is no doubt. either,
that the actual results were
highly Disappointing. Although
NaSSer'S brand of socialism ap-
pealed to Syria'S landless peas
ants. it earned the quick and
violent hostility of the power

Though union solved the Com
munist problem at least tempo
rarily and strengthened mill
tary security, the army was far
from satisfied with what was
obviously a junior-and highly
dependent-partnership within
the alliance.
The inevitable, Syrian-style
crisis came to a head on the
morning Of September %, last
year. when six officers leading
several hundred soldiers took
over the public buildings in Da-
maScus. arrested all Egyptian
Officers and proclaimed the
UAR dissolved.
President NasSer responded

which he dispatched a small
number of paratroops and

command decided on q final
attempt to salvage something
from a desperate situation. On
April l, q strange sort Of mill
tary congress was convened at
HONS, a town lying between
Damascus and Aleppo to the
north Officers Of all tendencies
were invited to come and speak
their piece, checking firearms
at the door.
From the congress Of HONS
emerged the decisions that con-
troll Syrian political life today.
The first, eminently sensible
step was to get rid Of the seven
over jealous officers who had
started all the trouble in the
first place. Each of the seven
received $1,000 and a one-way
ticket to Geneva where presum-
ably they will have plenty of
leisure to ponder the difficult
ties Of military government.
Return to Legality
The second. major decision
was the beginning Of q return
to legality through the promise
to release President Kudsi and
the formation Of q new pro-
visional government. And fl
nally, as q gesture Of appease-
ment to the pro-Nasser ele-
ments In its ranks, the army
agreed to hold a referendum
at some unspecified future date
on the question of q new
union with Egypt.
This patched-up compromise
did not please everyone, how
ever. The congress at HONS
had hardly published its deci-
sions when a new insurrection

seems likely, however. that most
Of the disSident leaders made
their escape after the military

down the revolt.
Delicate Truce
The crisis, in short, though
under new management, Is still
far from settled. What exists

by force. He quickly thought
better of it, however. and swal-
lowing his anger. struck a pose
Of agrieved stateSmanlike dig
nifty which won the applause OF
a number of Western capitals.
Mr.. NaSSer. after all, could well
afford to wait and see how
things worked out. In Syria,
nothing is ever very final.
Aftermath Of Confusion
And so 1t turned out. The
custer of the Egyptians, wildly
acclaimed in the streets of Da-
mascus. left the country In a
state of indeScTibable confusion.
In the six months that fol-
lowed. three governments sue
ceeded themselves in power
none Of them with any coher-
ent plan Of action. The pro
viSional government Of DR..
Maamun KuZbari which took
over September 29 gave way to
the "caretaker" government Of
liza al Nuz. Finally. after ma
tlon-wide elections, came the
constitutional government Of
President KudSi and Premier
Maaruf Dawalibi, backed by a
comfortable majority in parlia-
ment.
For all the confusion, a num-
Der of trends began to appear
during this transitional period
First, most of the social and
economic reforms started under
Egyptian leadership began to
be quietly diSmantled. Though
the new governments still talked
reform, their policies were
conservative. Naturalization of
industry and banking was can
celed. Peasants who had been
allocated land under NaSser-
inspired land reform laws found
themselves dispossessed again
by their landlords.
Motives Unclear
The precise motives Of the
seven officers who took over
in Damascus on March 2S are
still a matter of debate. Quite
Evening star., 1962-05-23

certainly. however. they IA
vored some new form of CO.
operation with Egypt and op-
posed the idea Of union Of any
kind with Iraq. Equally GER
tainly, they were against the
rule Of the politicians" since
their first move on seizine
power was to arrest virtually
every civilian member Of the
government and parliament,
President KudSi, arrested in
his palace, was bundled off to
a prison hospital where he
signed his resignation "for rea-
sons Of health" The parlia-
ment was declared dissolved.
What the original seven had
in mind, however, soon became
irrelevant. The new military
coup-like so many others be-
fore it-had been staged in the
time-honored conviction that
the army alone-in contrast to
the politicians-had the power
and the unity Of purpose to
rule the country. AS it turned
out, the exact contrary was
the case.
On Verge Of Civil War
The army, in fact, was as
deeply divided as the country
itself on all the basic issues.
The big difference was that
the military leaders, unlike the
civilians, we're prepared to back
up their convictions with force.
AS commanders of the various
military districts took up posi-
tions, violence broke out be-
tween garriSons. And within a
few days of the putSch. Syria
was on the verge of civil war.
Submerged by extremist ele-
ments, the original military
committee had lost control of
their revolution. Ironically, one
of the chief concerns of the
time was that Iraq would take
advantage Of the newly signed
mutual defense treaty to move
in.

The smaN crop is due al
most entirely To phenomena
called biennial bearing. The
previous crop used up all the
available resources Suf the tree.
There weren't enough fertilizer

Fcrrcc said the Stuart var
iety is very susceptible to this
alternate-ycar bearing behav-
iOr. The effects Of biennial
bearing can be minimiZcd by
adequate fertilizer applications

Schlcy, variety which is
very Scab susceptible, is not
affected by the biennial bear
ing habit. If sprayed for scab,
and fortified. this variety
should give consistent crops
year after year.
Fertilizer gives best results
when applied to trees in late
February or early March. A
rule of thumb says apply three
pounds of a l0-l0-l0 for each
