Oregon Under tbe Act of March 8, inn Lebanon's New President Gen. Fund Chehab was the obvious and the most hopeful choice to succeed the incumbent Camille Cha moun as president of Lebanon. He appears to have a wide popular following; and is acceptable to the, rebels who have kept Lebanon in tur moil since mid-May. Only Chamoun's close supporters have reservations about him, because he did not lead the Lebanon army into vigorous counter-assault against the rebels. Rut even these men could see that he was the one man whose election might end the dangerous and enervating strife. Cagily, Chehab has held silent during his country's ordeal. And his refusal to act to suppress the rebels un doubtedly added still further to his suitability as a com promise candidate. While it also perhaps prolonged the revolton the other hand it may have helped to curb its force. 1 Whether Chamoun can now be brought to resign be fore his term expires Sept. 23, as the rebels wish him to do, is a question. But certainly Cliehab will heed time to prepare for the formidable tasks which lie ahead of him. Presumably the U.S. Marines will " leave Lebanon when and if Chehab requests their departure. But that will be only a beginning. Much of tiny Lebanon is in rebel hands. Chehab will have to seal the borders with Syria, disarm the several rebel groups and restore1 substantial areas to civil con trol. While he is thus acting to pacify Lebanon internally, he will have the more complex assignment of adjusting 1 his country's foreign policy in a way .that will keep op-posiiu.Lebanese-elennt8. below th boilinpr -point here-" alter.- - i . - : The big questions involve the matters of how far he may seek to detach Lebanon from the Eisenhower doc trine and how closely lie may come to the kind of pan Arabism represented by President Nasser of the United Arab Republic. - . Chamoun's adherence to the Eisenhower doctrine is said to have been one of the principal factors touching off the current revolt. On Chehab's military shoulders rests a heavy load. He must find a course for Lebanon that will not only assure it its independence, in a turbulently changing Middle East, but will lessen the prospect of conflict be tween East'and West over the area. - The world will not have too long to wait to . learn, whether Chehab will fulfill the hopes which now repose in him as the new Lebanese president.

THALER I LONDON (UPD- The Comnui nist diplomatic offensive has been officially and formally extended from the Middle East to Latin America. The propaganda war is now officially on In America's 'backyard.' The new move stems from a joint decision of the Kremlin and he Red Chinese regime in Pet Ding. 1 It was taken at the secret ihrce-day talk lost week in Pel ping between Soviet Premier and I'arty Boss Nikita Khrushchev and Red Chinese Leader Mao Tse- I'sune. What con be expected from it is an. all-out propaganda assault on the Latin American nations, with the United States as the State Court Says Action Not Proper SALEM (UPD The Oregon Su preme Court has declined to take original jurisdiction in a pro ceeding brought by Jackson Coun ty District Attorney Thomas J. Reader to obtain judicial deter mination as to whether Robert G. Danielson or E. Roy Bashaw was nominated for the office of district judge for Jackson county at the May primary. The court said that the contro versy does not concern the right to hold or exercise a public office inasmuch as the office of district judge is now held by James Main, whose right is not in dispute. The court said that therefore the tion was not a proper proceeding in "quo warranto. The original jurisdiction con ferred by the constitution on the Supreme Court does not extend to such a controversy, the Justices said. However, the Court suggested that in the public interest an ap propriate proceeding be immedi ately filed in Circuit court. In another case, the Court af firmed a judgment of $3,000 obr tained in Multnomah county against the Aluminum Lock Shin gle Corporation for return of mon ey which had been paid on ac count of a contract to purchase shingles. Solon To Seek Action For Pishing Aid . WASHINGTON C;UPI ) V Sen. Leverett Saltonstall (R-Mass.) has promised to press for quick Sen ate action on a 30-million-dollar loan and subsidy program to aid the depressed American fishing industry. v Informed sources said there is little chance the bill will clear both Houses of Congress unless adjournment is delayed beyond the Aug. 1 target date. If Con gress stays later, the bill's chan ces are better. The measure, approved by the Senate Commerce Committee Tuesday, would provide a broad aid program for fisheries. , It would be over and above an ad ditional 10-million-dollar shot-in-the-arm already approved by the Senate in another bill and slated for consideration today by the House Merchant Marine and Fish erics Committee. The 10-million-dollar bill- spon sored by Sens. Frederick G. Payne (R-Maine) and Warren G. Magnuson (D-Wash.), would in crease to 20 million dollars the Interior Department's Fisheries Loan Fund. Scientist Says Space Exploring Poses Problems SAN DIEGO, Calif. (UPI) -Dr. Milton U. Clauser, vice president of Space Technology Laborotories in Los Angeles, says man is not as close to playing Buck Rogers as he likes to think. "We are ready to put man into outer space," Clauser told 600 del egates to a two-day symposium on space exploration Tuesday. "But we just don't have the hard ware to allow him to travel to Mors, land and explore,- and then return to earth with his findings." Satellite launchings have led the laymen, as well as members of the technical fraternity, to think that man is on the edg of ex ocrine space but It just isn't so, the scientist said. Clauser said there still tre a great number of difficult problems to solve before space travel is possible. He called for a step up in research to answer the ques tions. Dr. Morton Alpenn, director of advanced studies for the Air Force Office of Scientific Re search, told the assembled scien tists and engineers the United States cannot afford to loss the lead in the scientific and technolo gical race. He said space travel is closely tied in with the military's duty of protecting the nation.

Red China and the Soviet pledged themselves formally then and there to "give firm support to the just struggles of the peo ples of 53 United Arab Republic, the Republic of Iraq, and the other Arab countries as well us the national independence move ments of the peoples in Asia, Africa and Latin America," the communique announced. The listing of Latin America in line with Arab nations left little doubt of what is in the minds of the Red leaders. Soviet affairs experts have read into the blunt announcement a sort of declaration of a propagan da war by the United Reds in the "backyard" of the United Slates. Soviet designs on this sphere have been increasingly evident for some time past; but nothing or little was said about it offioinlly in Moscow. Now, the word is out. Latin America has been formally and officially included in the "sphere of operation" of the Red propa ganda machine, calling for "inde pendence" from American "dom ination and exploitation." Significantly, Red China has given its bucking to the mov,e just as it has become a prime backer of the "independence" campaign in the Middle East. More people "demonstrated" in Peiping against the United States and Britain's intervention in Leb anon and Jordan than did in Mos cow last month. This tends to confirm the grow ing impression that Mao is tak ing over gradually the leadership of Communist ideology and itsap plication from Moscow. Latin America lias for some time past been confined largely to more discreet behind-the-scenes infiltration tactics. Indiana Jury To Probe , Gambling INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (UPD An international gambling syndicate which authorities contend grossed $3,500,000 in 10 weeks on bets of $1,000 or more, mostly on football games, comes under the close scrutiny of a federal grand jury here next week. . More than 170 persons, most of them identified as patrons who could afford to make big bets to satisfy their gambling whims, were ordered to appear as wit nesses. Some of those subpenaed were well known, including Herbert (Zeppo) , Marx of the famous brother" comedy team in' movies, and II. L. Hunt, one of the world's richest men and head of a fabu lously huge oil firm in Dallas, Tex. U.S. tax agents swarmed into a third-floor suite above a Torre Huate, Ind., restaurant last No vember and grabbed six persons, including known gamblers and a former Indianapolis sheriff, for failure to have $50 federal gam bling tax stamps. The agents found a roomful of telephones and evidence the syn dicnte scorned all except big bels and took them from all parts of this country and Canada, mostly on college and professional foot ball games.
