Entered aa Second Claae Matter at the Poat Office or
I.a Qrande. 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.
Devouring The Books
East German Communists are complaining about
their young folks reading too many Western stories.
Their writers; are being urged to write socinlist love
stories to supplant the westerns. They want to switch
the kids from a diet of corn to a diet of mush.
Barbs
If the average old crab could see himself as others
see him, we'll bet he wouldn't believe it.
High prices have affected even men's styles hip pock
ets being worn much flatter.

Propaganda War In U.S. Backyard
By K. C. 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.

case seeking to compel Southern
Pacific to restore railroad passen
ger service on its line between

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.
