MAIL TRIBUNE 'Field and Stream 'Scores McKay The race between Senator Morse and former Sec retary of the Interior Douglas McKay will not be de cided by the Republicans much as they would like it to be. Nor will it be decided by the Democrats. It will be decided by the independent voters in between who hold the balance of power, who discount the slanted propaganda on both sides, and after de termining the facts vote for the candidate they believe best qualified for the job. In this search for the facts they won't go to the campaign "handiouts" of either party, but to the records of the two men and especially to facts from informed and impartial sources. IT WILL be remembered by those who listened to 1 Secretary McKay in his he was m practically a perpetual state ot extreme in dignation. The chief cause was the charge of "give away." Most emphatically Mr. McKay denied such charges in toto, and declared, instead of following any "give away" course he served the best interests of the people of his state and nation. r a e e e e NO single charge aroused Mr. McKay's ire more strongly than the charge that he permitted oil drilling in wild life refuges under his control, to the detriment of wildlife extension and protection. This charge, he claimed, was not only untrue but the exact reverse of the truth. Under his administra tion, he maintained, wildlife refuges had been in creased, and he suspended certain regulations pro mulgated by his predecessors (Democratic) because they failed to properly safeguard wildlife and time conservation values. a 1ITELL what are the facts? V Wo snoro-pst. that those who have no nartisan bias or axe to grind, read an article in the June "Field and Stream" entitled "Conservation." It is written by Harold Titus the editor, and it is hard to believe ho is mntivntpH hv anv sinister nartisan considera- Hrn- nr is Healine- with record in the realm of wild life conservation, as it stands. Here is Editor Titus' judgment of McKay, quote: "Of the thousand-odd working conservationists attend ing the North American Wild Life conference in New Orleans many returned to their office, confused, bewil dered and apprehensive. Oil was the disturbing influence oil beneath the surface of the wild-life refuges. And oil leases by the hundreds safe in the vaults of petroleum producing companies which had been issued during a period when, as far as the public was aware, all leasing had been suspended. What appears to be the full story of incredibly loose and highly hazardous procedures in the Interior De partment was told at the conference.' There was a gen eral feeling that wildlife conservation had been dealt a blow that might come to be rated as one of the worst on record. "A certain amount of reassurance, however, was just around the corner. 'The House Merchant Marine and Fish eries committee issued a report that not only strongly re- -buked Secretary McKay for the goings-on in his depart ment but called on him to give Congress a 60-day notice before issuing more private oil leases. The report de scribed the management of refuges as a "picture of extreme administrative confusion,' declared the recent leasing could only result in serious damage to the wild life refuge sys tem and expressed the opinion that McKay regulations -governing leasing fall far short of adequate protection for public lands. "To be sure Secretary McKay had already announced his intention of retiring from the cabinet to seek a Senate seat and evidently over 500 oil leases had been granted. But that forceful and completely bi-partisan stand by the com mittee promised to put mineral-development on the refuges under wraps for the closing weeks of the McKay administra tion. Furthermore it should stand as a warning to any suc cessor of Mr. McKay's who might feel that the welfare of wild life is not the direct objective in the maintenance of the national refuge system." "Well the conservationist who doesn't feel uneasy about the future of resources under management like that is a rare bird indeed." There is the opinion of the editor of "Field and Stream" regarding former Secretary McKay's regime and certainly furnishes justification of the "give away" charge as far as wildlife conservation is con cerned. It is unlikely that Mr. Titus fails to reflect the views of true conservationists throughout the country, a verdict based not on PARTY, but on PRINCIPLE. MOREOVER this view fits in perfectly with the en tire McKay picture. Like the Al Serena case it does not involve any criminal action or intent, and Mr. McKay and his defenders will undoubtedly use the same alibi in both cases namely: that oil leases in wild life refuges were granted in previous admin istrations, just as forest reserves were "mined" for timber, this attitude based on the old fallacy that two wrongs make a right. DUT as Editor Titus indicates in this article, while there are those who maintain drilling for oil does not necessarily impair wild-life protection, just as mining forest reserves for timber, does not necessar ily doom forest conservation, both practices on the scale countenanced by the Interior Department under Secretary McKay should stop, and it is hoped will be under his successor, for the sake of the country and perpetuation of the conservation principle. Editor Titus concludes, quote : "Finally everybody appeared to have the involved story straight and went home with the understanding that over 550 oil leases (in the wild life refuges) were outstanding , and that if these were exercised the staff of the refuge branch would probably be the busiest young men in public service just reviewing operating plans. For even to the com placent minority the recital of goings-on in the Interior De partment was depressing. Just what the effect will be of the demand of House committee that congress be consulted on lease-applications in the future remains to be seen. It is cer- tain, however, that the procedures will be watched from all directions." CO HERE we have as a result of the McKay "give away" policies to the oil companies "one of the worst blows to conservation on record.'.' That is not the judgment of the political enemies of ex-Govemor McKay or the Democratic press but the editor of Field and Stream who chooses that dec laration as the title for his article. R.W.R. Thursday. June 7. 19S8 primary campaign, that anvthine; but the McKay Matter of Fact By jot, ai$oP THE LIVING DEAD Jericho, Jordan Imagine a landscape of the moon, the land dust-brown, bone-dry, hideously eroded, with hardly a grow i n g thing in sight, and the air searing hot with the heavy heat of air far below sea level. In this land scape, imagine "w Aiaop a seemm g 1 y aimless and endless straggle of jerry-built mudhuts, with here and there a ragged tent, and nothing to suggest a town except a single short and squalid main street where emaciated children play in the dust and little groups of men sit listlessly in three fly blown coffeehouses. This is Karamaneh, one of the three camps for Palestinian refu gees that the United Nations maintains in the neighborhood of old Jericho. Karamaneh alone holds some 20,000 of these tragic people who fled from their lands that Israel now holds. In and out of camps, in Egypt, Leban on, Syria and Jordan, there are about a million refugees all told. After eight years of exile, their rage is a dark poison affecting the political life of all the Arab lands; and here in little Jordan, where they number nearly half a million, they all but dominate the course of events. THE visitors to Karamaneh are received in the whitewashed office of the U. N. Refugee Wel fare Agency by one of the camp leaders, Khaled Muhammad, a vigorous, genial and intelligent man in his late thirties. Until he fled before the advancing Israel is. Khaled Muhammad cultivated rich orange groves near Jaffa. Now he draws about $40 a month as a teacher in one of the camp's U. N. supported schools; and he says He is "lucky" to have this much to provide for himself, his wife and their three little chil dren. In a flat voice, almost with re luctance, Khaled Muhammad answers the visitors' questions about the condition of the people of Karamaneh. Yes, the U. N. gives the refu gees a daily ration of 1,500 cal ories of flour and rice, sugar and cooking oil. Yes, that is all the refugees get from the U. N., except for special food supple ments for undernourished chil dren and pregnant mothers, free roofbeams for those who want to build new mudhuts, and the services of the camp schools and clinic. All the same the U. N. relief officials do their best with what they have. Yes, about two thirds of the Karamaneh families have at least one member with a full or part-time job; so there is a little money to spend for vegetables, coffee and the like, f Yes, some people in the camp have even managed to start their own little businesses. Why there are even five Karamaneh potters, makers of the great jars one can see on the heads of the women down the road, where the group around the camp watertaps forms a scene like the old bible picture of "Ruth at the Well." Yes, they have all been here seven years, keeping body and soul together somehow. a e "TUT Khaled Muhammad," one visitor asks, "would not the people of Karamaneh accept generous payments,' maybe $4, 000 per family, to help them re settle somewhere, instead of continuing indefinitely with this strange death-in-life?" Khaled Muhammad has been first a smiling host, full of little attentions for his guests' com fort, and then a polite though somewhat uninterested inform ant, but at this last question he suddenly takes fire in an almost frightening manner. Never, nev er, never he all but shouts, will the people of Karamaneh agree to go anywhere except back to the homes in Palestine that have been stolen from them. Why should they go elsewhere? Why had Britain and America helped Israel to drive them from the lands that were always theirs? What wrong had the people of Karamaneh done to be thus dis possessed? Where was justice under heaven? These questions are not easy to reply to; and as soon as polite ness permitted, an inspection of the camp is suggested. Khaled Muhammed at once becomes a friendly host again. The little party goes . by narrow ways among the mudhuts, past the vegetable market which is sparsely furnished with every thing but flies, and past the blackened stumps of the police station which was burned down in the Baghdad Pact riots, when five of the Karamaneh people were killed before order was re stored. ' e e e rFHE first stop, and as it proves -- the last, is the largest of the coffeehouses in the main street. Here are the camp elders, lead ers of their people now as they were in their home villages, gnarled, solid men who look like the farmers they once were. They gather in a semi circle around the visitors. And around the semi circle of elders on their low stools, a crowd of younger j men and boys quickly accumu lates to hear the talk. This time, there is no oppor tunity to ask about conditions in the camp. The elders inter rupt one another, they shout one another down, to make the same speech that Khaled Mu hammad made; and always the speech is studded with the same grim questions. "Justice, justice, justice, all we ask is justice," is the refrain, repeated again and again with mounting bitter ness. The aged, bearded Imam who leads the prayers of Karamaneh has the final word. Raising his bony hand, as though in warn ing and impreciation, he all but intones the sentences "every thing in human life has a limit. Every pot must . overflow at some point. We have stood this for eight years, but we cannot stand it forever!" a e pOR some time, the expressions . of the surrounding . crowd have grown more and more low ering. As the Imam finishes a murmur runs among them. At this the camp policeman some what hastily suggests that for eigners need government au thorization to visit the refugee camps, and that, really, this un authorized visit has gone on long enough. The walk back to the car, with the crowd still follow ing and still murmuring, is very far from pleasant. The next stop is in a green grove, among the fields and or chards that the brilliant Pales tinian leader, Musa Bey Alami, has created by digging wells in the bleak, salty land along the banks of the Jordan river. But even here, wretchedness, bitter ness and anger follow after. For Musa Bey's brilliant project was designed to provide work for refugees. It was regarded as the thin end of the wedge of reset tlement. And in the time of the Baghdad Pact riots a mob of 30,000 from Karamaneh and the other Jericho camps attacked Musa Bey's plantations and farm buildings and three quarters de stroyed them. Such is the refugee story. It may be said that the refugees are encouraged to hug their grievance by Egyptian agitators, baudi bribegivers. Communist organizers and other interested and evilly motivated politicians. And this is certainly true. It may also be said that the refu gees are not rational in hugging their grievance so bitterly that tney have even rioted against transfers from tents to more comfortable and permanent set tlements. And this is certainly true too. But it cannot be said that the grievance of the living dead is not real and justifiable and a matter of black shame. Copyright 1956. New York Herald Tribune, Inc.) In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS As this is written, the Far West is holding its political breath while it waits to see what California Democrats will do (as between Stevenson and Kefau ver) at Tuesday's Golden State primary. The Middle West is all a'twit ter over what Iowa Republicans DID Monday in Iowa's primary election. TTere's what they did: " By an overwhelming maj ority (more than two to one at the hour this is written) they renominated Sen. Bourke Hick enlooper, who has supported the Eisenhower policy of flexible farm price supports, over Dayton Countryman, who pledged him self to HIGH, RIGID farm price supports. Countryman, who is Iowa's attorney general, had counted especially on heavy backing from the drought area in the southwest part of the state. There are 27 counties in this section. He carried only TWO of them. IN A congratulatory telegram to his successful opponent, Mr. Countryman said: "The farmers have shown that they are HAPPY by renominating you." That, of course, isn't true. The farmers aren't happy in Iowa or elsewhere in the United States. : Nobody is happy when his business is bad. But the farmers in Iowa, at least are much too sensible to be kid ded into believing that rigid, high price supports, .which have built up huge surpluses that hang over the markets of the future like a dark thundercloud, will MAKE THEIR BUSINESS BETTER. They know that quack rem edies of that sort are apt to KILL the patient. It TOOK courage to oppose rieid. hieh subsidies for farm prices in a critical election year when it was the general con census among professional polit icians that loss of the big farm states could (and quite possibly would) mean loss of the election. But President Eisenhower has courage. Secretary of Agricul ture Benson has courage. Sen ator Hickenlooper has courage. Otherwise he wouldn't have sup ported what looked several months ago like a losing cause. Republican voters in Iowa, in cluding decisive numbers of farmers, proved Monday that Khrushchev Infuriates Leader by Unification By CHARLES M. McCANN United Press Correspondent Nikita S. Khrushchev has talked himself into another big This time, he has en raged West German Chanc e 1 1 o r Konrad Aden auer by saying that Russia does not want Germany uni fied in any cir- Chariea McCanii cumstances. That is hardly news. Russia has made it plain, by its actions, that it prefers to keep Germany divided. But at least, the Soviet gov ernment has kept up the pre tense, in international negotia tions, that it really looks for ward to unification. Khrushchev made his no-unification statement to French Foreign Minister Christian Pin eau while Pineau and Premier Guy Mollet were in Moscow last month. "You keep your 50 million Germans and we will keep our 17 million," Khrushchev said in effect, referring to the eastern and western parts of Germany. Khrushchev said Russia didn't even want Germany unified if it were neutralized. Returns In Rage Mollet disclosed this to Aden auer when they met in Luxem bourg Monday to conclude their agreement on the future of the Saar. Adenauer returned to Bonn; his capital, in a boiling rage. He said that Khrushchev's statement was impudent and boorish, and showed incredible brutality. Adenauer said he would take up the unification question, in the light of Khrushchev's state ment, when he talks to Presi dent Eisenhower and Secretary of State John Foster Dulles in Washington next week. He also intends, when he gets back to Bonn, to instruct Wil helm Hass, West German am bassador in Moscow, to take up the issue with new Soviet For eign Minister Dmitri T. Shepilov. Why Mollet decided to tell Adenauer about Khrushchev's statement is something of a mys tery. France Itself Is not keen on seeing Germany unified without the strictest guarantees against a resurgence of German mili tarism. . In fact, Mollet himself had dis turbed Adenauer by saying in an interview published in the American magazine "United States News and World .Report' on April 2 that disarmament should be given precedence over German unification. Approves Of It Khrushchev, commenting on Moilets statement, said at a Kremlin reception next day that ne approved of it. But he added that once world peace had been assured, German unification would be easy. But making policy statements, in the name of the Kremlin, has become a habit with Khrush chev, despite the fact that his chief role is that of secretary f the Russian Communist Party. In India and Burma, Khrush chev angered Prime Ministers Jawaharlal Nehru and U Nu by his unbridled denunciations of western governments. On his recent visit of "friend ship" to Britain, Khrushchev boasted that Russia will make a hydrogen missile with a hydro gen warhead that would be able to hit any city in the world. He also got involved in an angry argument with members of the Labor Party. It is likely that some of Khrushchev's fellow leaders wish he would keep his lips but toned a great deal more. Eisenhower To Spend Week End at Gettysburg Washington U.R) The White House said today that President Eisenhower expects to spend the week end at his Gettysburg, Pa., farm. The chief executive, weather permitting, will fly to the farm Friday. they ADMIRE courage that is based on sound principle and sound economics. They went to the polls and voted decisively in favor of the HARD way that means ultimate salvation in stead of the easy way that means ultimate RUIN. Maybe that will be a lesson to the demagogue politicians whose motto is "ANYTHING to win the election."

If that assump- tion were true, we should have Walter Uppmann . to read the reconciliation which is now be ing celebrated in Moscow as meaning that Tito is returning his country to its former position of a satellite. That is just what is not happening. There is little doubt that dur ing the past year the Kremlin has worked for this reconcilia tion, taking the line that it was Stalin, not Tito, who was the heretic who caused the conflict. The issue of Stalin's quarrel with Tito was Stalin s insistence that all Communist states must ba satellites and economic col onies of the Soviet Union. Tito- ism was a national rebellion not against Communism but against the satellite colonialism of Stal in. We know from what Khru shchev told the Poles at Bie rut's funeral in March that Stal in's attempt to make a satellite of China nearly caused Mao Tse- Tung to break with Moscow. Tito's present visit to Moscow announces a victory for Titoism in the field of Communist doc trine and, it would appear, in that of Soviet imperial policy. Until after Stalin's death, Tito ism was the greatest of all Com munist heresies, indeed a hang ing oaense in Eastern Europe. It is now the new orthodoxy of the Kremlin and it is being ex pounded to the faithful as the old orthodoxy of Lenin. Tito is not being received in Moscow as a repentant rebel. He is being naiiea as tne true believer. fpHIS is a substantial change, and we cannot suppose t that it is some kind of propaganda stunt engineered bv the nnMi rela tions exDerte in MrKiviw Wa deceive only ourselves when we. taiK tnat way.

Tomorrow Lippmann mantling of the old economic colonial devices such as the joint stock companies, and a substan tial increase in the freedom of the press. The changes in Poland are, I have been told by reli able observers, so impressive that they are beginning to look like a change of the political regime. Perhaps we are witness ing a movemnt within the Com munist orbit from satellite colo nialism to Titoist national au tonomy. It may be that anti-colonialism has spread to the Soviet orbit. e a e IF, AS now seems highly prob able, the Stalinist satellite policy is being liquidated, than is is plain why the Kremlin is going to such lengths to appease and to woo Tito. In working out the new policy, the existence of a reconciliation between Bel grade and Moscow would be the ace of trumps. Tito would be the symbol and the living proof of how it is possible to have na tional independence within the Communist orbit. In Stalin's time, Tito was the symbol of re bellion, the proof that national independence and freedom from economic colonial exploitation requires a break with Moscow. Now that the Kremlin is accept ing Titoism and Tito is accept ing the Kremlin, he symbolizes the, change without leaving the Soviet orbit. He is the argument for not breaking with Moscow, and for collaborating with Mos cow. ' But this does not exhaust the role-that Tito is expected to play. Besides being an -example to the satellites, he will be a formid able missionary to the neutra lists. For many countries it is extremely difficult to follow the Nehru principle of non-alignment with either military coali tions. These countries are already aligned and they do not want to take the risks and make the sacrifices which breaking their alliances would mean. ' ' " Tito is the living example of how to be alligned with both coalitions, how to be neutralist and yet aligned. No one who knows Western Europe today will, I think, doubt the attrac tiveness of the Tito example. In Greece, to some degree in Italy, perhaps also in France, there are strong tendencies towards what might be described as re-orientation of policy-within the frame work of the existing alliance. It is no wonder that Moscow is doing so much to build up the prestige of Tito. We may well ask ourselves whether, given the change from Stalinism inside the Soviet Union, Tito is not on his way to becoming the most impor tant of all the missionaries of Communism. . 1956.
