EN ROUTE TO SIBERIA
MOSCOW UPI Former
New. York Governor Avorcll Har
rimnn was en route to Siberia to
day on a rare Invitation to see
the world's largest dam. Harri
man, who has been touring the
Soviet Union the past few weeks,
will visit the Angara River Dam
In Bratsk, which few foreigners
have seen. i
While the two nations have
agreed on the principles of the
plan, they now must get together
to agree on a water treaty which
will be negotiated in London some
time In August. f ' .
Such a treaty Isn't a simple
Job. It involves many problems
and obstacles.
Watar Kay to Paaca
In all this world, no scientist
has as yet found a substitute for
water. And so great is the need
for water that it can bring nations
together when diplomacy and force
of arms rail. Providing water in
ample supply for India and Paki
stani means new life for the two
peoples. Any cutting off of the
supply would mean death to teem
ing millions.
The World Bank is interested
also in water elsewhere. It is
studying a project lo help Egypt
finance deepening of the Suez
Canal to permit ships of 40-foot
draft to use the waterway. Egypt
now is deepening the canal to
allow ships of 35-foot draft to go
inrougn. ,
Meantime, Russia Is helping
Egypt finance a new Aswam Dam
on the Nile. When the first Phase
of this ' dam is - completed,, the
bank might help In its completion
it r.gypt should request such aid
it was indicated.
Talk of' a water system for
Jordan gets nowhero because that
nation just doesn't waut ene built
by outsiders.
Some of these days these great
water developments will be com
plctcd and world peace will be
strengthened by their existence.
And their accomplishment will
stand as proof that bankers and
engineers can produce a more
lasting basis for world peace than
diplomats and armies.

WASHINGTON. A lot of back
stage pressure has been applied
to Congressman Chct Holifield of
California to stop what may be
one of the most sensational con
gressional probes of the year, it
will show for the first time in his
tory what would happen to Bus

what would happen to the United

In each case the radioactive
poison would be so great that the
attacking nation would be wiped
out by its own lauout.
Reason for the pressure against
Holifield to hold up his inves
tigation is the diplomatic spar
ring at Geneva. Some Eisen
hower advisors fear that if the
American public becomes too anx
ious for an end of H-bomb test
ing, the Russians will be able to
put across a half-baked treaty
under which they could cheat,

i tcrmined to sign some sort of
agreement to end If-bomb tests
He is just as vigorously for it
now as he was critical of Adlai

Reason why Rep. Holifield now
has the facts with which to mea

Hall explained that sharks rare

the surface of the ocean. He has
encountered literally hundreds of
tne sea monsters while diving in
the waters off California, In Ta

"Sharks like warm, tropical wa

To the Western foreign minis
ters struggling at Geneva for
agreement on the future of Ger
many and European security, all
this could be nothing but one
more added frustration.
For it was Khrushchev whose
threats against free West Berlin
had forced the foreign ministers'
conference into being in the first
place and it was Khrushchev
"brinkmanship" which would
keep them talking in the hope
that a barking dog does not bite.
It also was Khrushchev brink
manship which impelled British
Prime Minister Harold Macmil
lan to send his foreign minister,
Selwyn Lloyd back to Geneva aft
er a week end recess with ur
gent instructions to keep the Ge
neva talks going.
Macrnillan visited Khrushchev
in Moscow this spring and, from
all that has leaked out since,
came away not so much in awe
of this man's physical and mental
powers as in fear of the mistakes
he might be capable of making.
Chief among these fears was that
the Russian leader might under
estimate Western determination
to stand fast in West Berlin.
For regardless of propaganda
smokescreens, of the heated
words and of Soviet promises, it
is true that Berlin contains the
seeds of war. "
Khrushchev is a shrewd bar
