Had they that is the consumer groups someone

They .would have found no speculation regarding this

Ellsworth scathingly condemned public power advo

the private power companies and makes Uncle Sam
hold the sack. Our militant congressman scored this
sort of talk as "dishonest, political clap-trap."

And to bring it all home, on a smaller scale, now

As far as press reports go none of this was ex

East Is
"Oh East is East and West is West and
Never the Twain shall meet
: TiU earth and sky stand presently at
God's great judgment seat."
The above Kipling dictum has come in for con
siderable scepticism and even ridicule during recent
years, as better relations have come to pass particu
larly between England and India.
But we have come to the conclusion that there
is considerable justification for the doubt, more
probably as far as India and the United States are con
cerned, than India and Britain.
THE recent trip of Nehru to Moscow, for example,
and his remarks since then, have aroused strong
anti-Indian feeling in the United States and revived
the belief that India is going communist soon, if it has
not already done so.
The mildest term for Nehru heard recently has
been "fellow-traveller."
And yet the Indian leader is nothing of the sort.
He has be.en as strong a foe of communist vio
lence within lndia as any national leader, has jailed
thousands of Reds, and will jail more whenever the
totalitarian enemy strikes.
But he is first, last and all the time for PEACE.
He is, in the cold war. a neutralist, condemning
neither Soviet Russia nor the USA, except as he sees

Situation on Cyprus
Becoming Dangerous;
Terrorism Reported
By CHARLES M. MeCANN
U. P. Staff Correspondent
The situation on the Eastern
Mediterranean island of Cyprus
is getting dangerous.
The island is a British posses
sion. Greece wants it. Turkey
says "no" to that.
Greece- has been demanding
Cypress ever since the end of
World War II, on the ground that
it once was Greek and that most
of its people are of Greek back
ground. But Cyprus has not been Greek
since pre-Christian days. It is
only 40 miles from Turkey and
470 miles from the Greek main
land. Britain acquired it from Tur
key in 1878. Turkey, had pos
sessed it previously since 1571.
Before that, for centuries it had
undergone various kinds of rule.
Turkey, incidentally, tdbk the
island from the Venetian Repub
lic. - .
About four -fifths' of the
island's 500,000 people are of
Greek background. Most of the
rest -are Turks-. Turkey holds
that, historically and geograph
ically, it has the right to Cyprus
if Britain ever gets out.
A campaign of open terrorism
against British rule has now
broken but in Cyprus.
Blames Radio
- Britain asserted in a formal
note to Greece yesterday that the
official Athens Radio is broad
casting propaganda which is in
citing revolt.
The three-cornered dispute
over Cyprus involves three coun
tries, all friends of the United
States, which think alike about
cold war problems. They are
sillies in the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization. Cyprus is
being made a major NATO mil-
Matter of Fact by
IN THE MOSCOW SKIES
Moscow On Tuesday of last
week there was an impressive
display here of Soviet techno-
logical
a c h i evement.
On the morn
ing before the
afternoon re
ception for In
dian . Prime
Minister Neh
ru in the Mos
cow stadium,
between 150
and 200 of the
Stewart Alsop newest type
Soviet jet aircraft were flown
over Moscow.
The flights were largely con
centrated in the area between
Tushanoe airport and the Krem
lin. They took place for the most
part shortly before noon. There
is no available breakdown here
of the number and type of
planes flown. But there were
numerous large new turbo-prop
bombers of the type believed in
the West to be adanted for air
refuelling purposes. There were
particularly large flights of the
two-engined medium bomber
known in the West as the Badg
er. And there were large flights
oi iignter aircraft, including the
advanced type knowa in the
West as the Farmer.
THE very large four-eneine
bomber known in the West
as the Bison was not observed
on Tuesday. But flights of a doz
en or so of this aircraft, perhaps
xne most impressive Soviet
achievement in the field of air
power, have been observed on
more than one occasion since the
now famous May overflights. In
deed, the Tuesday overflights
were exceptional only that more
planes were flown than usual.
Flights of the new Soviet jet
planes, usually at around 11
o'clock in the morning or around
4 o'clock in the afternoon, have
become almost routine in recent
weeks.
These flights are presumably
in preparation for the display of
Soviet airpower scheduled for
Red Air Force Day. The date for
Red Air Force Day has not been
set, but it is expected to take
place on a Sunday early in July.
No new types have been flown
since the May overflights. But
it would obviously not be sur
prising if new Soviet aircraft
models of advanced design were
bles with Pakistan which! have threatened war, but
unless he is attacked, and must strike back in self de
fense, it is about as certain as anything in this trou
bled and uncertain world can be, that he will never
engage in war.
THIS attitude is hard to understand in this country,
and we doubt if there are more than two or three
higher-ups in our present government who do under
stand it.
: Yet it can be understood if the doctrine of non
resistance and peace-at-any-price, as practiced in
India in recent years; can be understood.
The trouble is it takes considerable hard work,
time, study and patience to understand it.
Few citizens of the western world have any
surplus in any of these departments at the present
moment, particularly as far as distant India and the
strange mystical East Indians are concerned. R. W.R.
itary base.
The present dispute can be
helpful only to the Communists.
A strange angle of the situa
tion is that the Communists rule
most Cyprus towns and that they
are most active in inciting ter
rorism in support of Greek rule.
But Communism is outlawed in
bitterly anti-Red Greece. If the
Communists went there they
would face a firing squad.
Greece has tried unsuccess
fully to get the United Nations to
intervene in the dispute.
Now Britain may take it be
fore NATO, on the ground that
one member of the alliance is
working against another.

displayed on Red Air Force Day,
It is possible, for example, that
the delta-wing aircraft of radi
cal design and revolutionary
performance, about which there
have been rumors in the for
eign press, might be flown. But
this is, of course, the sheerest
speculation.
So, of course, is any attempt
to interpret the reasons for the
overflights. But what is some
times overlooked in Washington
is that these flights are witness
ed not only by a. comparative
handful of foreigners but by mil
lions of Soviet citizens in this
metropolis.
By a brilliant and concentrat
ed propaganda campaign, the
Soviet people have become pro
foundly convinced that the peace
will never be broken by the So
viet government but only by
foreign aggressors. The over
flights provide one way of fur
ther concincing the Soviet peo
ple that the government has the
means to prevent this from hap
pening. THE Soviet government must
also of course be entirely
aware that foreign observers wit
ness the overflights. To put the
matter colloquially, the over
flights provide a way of saying,
"Look, if you wan't to get tough,
we can get tough too."
At any rate, the planes now
being flown by the Red Air
Force unquestionably represent
a genuine triumph of Soviet
technology. It is impossible even
to speculate intelligently on the
economic cost of this achieve
ment. But the resources of this im
mense country are very great,
and can be concentrated to
achieve a single and in a way
most difficult to repeat in the
United States. As soon as the So
viet Union broke the American
atomic monopoly, it should have
been obvious that they would
concentrate their resources to
achieve an efficient means of
delivery. And their technologic
al triumph in the nuclear field
should have foreshadowed a sim
ilar triumph in the field of air
power. , .
At the very least, the over
flights here should provide a
brake on Western smugness, and
especially on the particular
brand of smugness enjoyed in
Washington. The United States
has a national habit of judging
In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
As these words ,re written
(on Saturday) a strange dis
closure has just been made.
On Wednesday, a lightly
armed American navy plane fly
ing over international waters
between Alaska and Siberia was
attacked by a Russian warplane
some of the tightly censored
reports say it was attacked by
two Russian planes.
The attack caught our plane
in such a position that it could
neither shoot back nor evade the
attackers. Seven members of its
crew of 11 were wounded, but
the pilot managed to make a
crash landing on an American
held island in the Bering sea.
LET'S recall the circumstances
under which this attack was
made.
For months the Russians have
been making peaceful coexist
ence gestures. They finally
agreed to a decent treaty with
Austria. They agreed to a meet
ing of heads of state of Russia,
the United States, Britain and
France to be held next month in
Geneva. The No. 1 purpose of
this meeting at the highest level
is obviously to see if present
world tensions can be relaxed
and the possibilities of war re
duced.. ' .
United Nations is holding its
tenth anniversary session in San
Francisco, where it was born,
and relaxation of world ten
sions has been the theme of this
session. Molotov made a stub

let ourselves fall into the de

with the Russians and settle
everything on a friendly basis.
Suppose we did get together

Justice Douglas Must
Make Play
Nomination
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Correspondent
Washington (U.R) The
way the political chips are fall
ing, it would have to be in 1960
that Supreme Court Justice Wil
liam O. Douglas would make his
play for the Democratic presi
dential nomination.
The idea that Douglas has his
eye on the White House persists
in Washington. The justice does
nothing to 'counteract it, either.
On the contrary, Douglas refus
es to abide in the ivory tower
reserved for members of the
high court.
He sounds off on political
questions from time to time and,
unlike his colleague, Associate
Justice Felix Frankfurter, Doug
las performs in public. The pow-er-being-the-throne
role so often
attributed to Frankfurter appar
ently has no appeal for Douglas.
Douglas latest was a state
ment in Tokyo" that Red China
should have diplomatic recogni
tion and that Nationalist China
should be booted off the United
Nations Security Council to
make, way for some other Asia
tic nation. . , . ... . ;
That startling proposal is sub
stantially a replay of what Doug
las has said before, the first tune
in 1951 when he so shocked some
members of Congress that there
were murmurs in the House that
the justice should be impeached.
Threats No Surprise
Threats of impeachment don t
surprise Douglas much, either.
A House Judiciary subcommittee
actually was named in 1953 to
stiidy an impeachment resolu
tion drawn against Douglas after
he had granted a last minute stay
to Julius and Ethel Rosenberg,
the Communist atom spies.
Douglas is far nd away
Washington's least conformist
big time official. He recenUy was
divorced to marry a second beau
tiful woman. In his 16 years on
the bench, Douglas has made
speeches as the spirit moved him
before groups and on subjects
usually considered out of bounds
for a member of the Supreme
Court.
His audiences have ranged
from CIO national conventions
to the student body of Iran's Un
iversity of Teheran. ;
Moreover, Douglas climbs
mountains, crosses deserts, visits
other far places and writes
books. His books are not on the
points of law but upon the social
and political aspects of the areas
and peoples he visits.
FDR named Douglas to the
high court in 1939 and the for
mer president would be pleased
with his man's record. He is a
New Dealer with a solid reputa
tion among leaders of organized
labor and left-of-center elements
which made the New Deal tick.
He would be hard for the con
servative. South to swallow as a
presidential nominee, but, then,
so was Adlai Stevenson.
Might Have Been President
, Douglas might have been pres
ident long since, but for a fast
thinking Missourian. To the 1944
Democratic national convention
FDR wrote a famous letter de
signed to help prevent renomin
ation of Henry A. Wallace as
vice-president. The letter was ad
dressed and delivered to Demo
cratic national committee Chair
man Robert E. Hannegan, of St.
Louis. It named two individuals
FDR would consider satisfactory
as running mates.
Hannegan passed the word
that the President wanted Harry
S. Truman if he could be nomin
ated. If not, FDR would take
Douglas. When the letter finally
was published Douglas appeared
to have been the actual first
choice. He was named first and
Mr. Truman second on FDR's
brief list.
Douglas' physical and mental
exertions keep him before' the
public in prose and pictures.
He's a tall, rangy type given to
medium-size Western hats, his
face criss-crossed with wrinkly
lines. Born in MaineMn 1898,.
Douglas grew up in the state of
Washington. . Western informal
ity still marks him. He answers
up easily to his nickname Bill.
It comes as a shock to old

timers to realize that Douglas
no longer is the court babby. He
was only 41 when FDR put him
up there. But Associate Justice
Tom C. Clark is a year younger.
Douglas will be 57 when the
court reconvenes next autumn.
There is no shortage of Demo
cratic aspirants for the 1956 pres
idential nomination and it is
hardly possible that a situation
could develop that would turn
the party toward Douglas.
But 1960 could be dfferent. So
far as Douglas is concerned, it
had better be. The court baby
of 1939 will be 62 years old in
1960 and that is that last chance
he is likely to have at a prize
which his performance to date
suggests he hopes to win.

Think It Over
To the Editor: It is an axiom
of law that 'Any agency that
has the authority to levy taxes
has the power to destroy'. ,
Any lawyer will admit that. ;
Taxpayers, think that over. It
is as true as the gospel. .
This state, this county, this
city, has gone lax mad.
All the authorities holding of
fice by virtue of the taxpayer
vote seem to be determined to
add to collected monies regard
less of the consequences to the
ones who are levied upon. And
equally regardless of the diffi
culty caused by the increased
amount demanded.
You, Mr. Taxpayer haye a
check upon the taxing agency at
this time. But wait;
An editorial in a recent issue
of The Tribune virtually slapped
each and every one of us in that
we object to heavier taxes. . It
said that, as we have a legisla
ture to represent us we should
abide by its actions. ,
In other words, we should
not have the initiative, referen
dum, and recall. In which case
we should have no control over
a recalcitrant legislature.
If we are so dumb as to per
mit the so called 'new Constitu
tion v to go "into effect without
these three things we deserve-to
be taxed out of everything.
Let us not permit this to hap
pen. By all means we MUST
KEEP those three things. Other
wise, we shall have no choice
but to accept any and every law
an arrogant law making body de
cides to put upon us, and, of
course, thev will not be for our
benefit. .
We have seen the complete in
