'Eisenhower Doctrine' Sprang
From Sudden Top-Level Decision
By DONALD J. GONZALES
' United Press Corrtipondent
Washington U.S. The "Eis
enhower Doctrine" sprang from
sudden top-level administra
tion decision that now is the
time to strike a blow for peace
in the Middle East.
No emergency promoted the
new policy, officials said, but
combination of international
and domestic factors suddenly
indicated action was necessary
even though the broad out
lines of the policy had been dis
cussed for months.
Final decisions came so quick
ly, in fact, that the President did
not discuss the military aspect
of the new" policy with Indian
Prime Minister Jawaharlal Neh
ru, who was a White House, visi
tor just two weeks ago. Officials
said the military-economic plan
had not '"crystallized" at the
time of Nehru's visit.
The key to the plan ii a gam
ble that it will bring about peace
rather than war. The main aim
is to warn Russia from moving
into the Middle Eastern region
10 that moves can be made by
the United States to help sta
bilize conditions in the Middle
East.
- This would be done by warn
ing Russia that the United States
would counter with armed force
any Soviet attack on the Middle
East. Coupled with this would
be a program of economic assist
ance to the Middle East coun-
. tries.
Mo Emergency
Administration officials de-
rled that any new emergency
' prompted the President's plan
but conceded Mr.- Eisenhower is
, disturbed by rising Soviet in
fluence in Syria and Egypt.
These officials said the Presi
dent's decision to act now was
' Inspired by these factors:
The British French attack
on Egypt meant the end of British-French
influence in the Mid-
. die East. This created a power
' vacuum which might be filled
by the Soviet Union.
V, - British and French troop
withdrawals from Egypt made it
possible for the United States to
4ome out with a program of its
own to stabilize the Middle East.
...Israeli withdrawals, which are
eagerly awaited here, will fur
ther stabilize the area.
Russia is off balance in
Eastern Europe because of the
Hungarian and Polish defec
tions. This may give the United
States the jump on filling the
-power vacuum.
! Action is needed now to
encourage anti-Communist ele
i ments in Egypt Syria and other
A r a b countries. A display of
j American interest in the area
would offset the pitch Moscow
i has been making to leaders of i
I Arab nationalism,
j The serious economic conse
: quences resulting from Egypt's
j closure of the Suez Canal em
j phasizes the dependence of
I Western Europe on the Middle
! East. U.S. action in the Middle
I East will contribute to the eco
nomic stability of its allies in
Western Europe.
Administration legislative
experts decided that the opening
days of the new Congress mark
the best time to submit the new
plan. The timing dramatizes the
importance the President at
taches to the Middle Eastern
strategy. And it is believed ac
tion will come quick if the plan
nets in ahead of civil rights,
foreign aid and other measures
which are sure to stir angry
debates.
West Coast Business
Is Driven Elsewhere;
Administrator Says
San Francisco U.R) Fed
eral Maritime Administrator
Clarence G. Morse warns that
longshore efficiency on the Pa
cific Coast is so low that it is
driving business elsewhere.
Morse delivered this warning
Wednesday on his arrival from
Portland on the inaugural voy
age of the new Matson liner,
Monterey. Aboard the ship were
300 business and civic leaders.
The Monterey will sail for the
South Seas and Australia next
Tuesday, joining her sister ship
Mariposa on the run.
Coast As Whole
In discussing the longshore
situation, Morse referred speci
fically to San Francisco, but it
was apparent that his words in
cluded the Pacific Coast as a
whole.
"Hiah cargo handling costs in
San Francisco are doing more
than anything else to drive bus-
Man Unable to Appear;

Gayle G. McDowell, 25, tele

be unable to appear for trial on
a charge of driving with a sus
pended license.
McDowell said his car had
broken down as he was driving
to court.

iness away," he said. "The men
who work on your piers are kill
ing the goose that lays the gold
en eggs."
He asked newsmen. "What's
the strike situation here?" Told
that the Pacific Coast had its
best year in 1S56 with only a
dozen ships tied up for three
days, Morse said:
"But your longshore produc
tion figures are the worst in the
country, with the possible excep
tion of Los Angeles."
Morse said he got his figures
on information compiled by the
Bonner congressional committee,
which held hearings at port cit
ies. "It is an open secret that costs
are higher on the West Coast
than on Gulf or East Coasts," he
said. "And they are higher in
California than in the Pacific
Northwest."
Poor Productivity
As for the relative absence of
strikes in 1956, Morse said it
was poor day to day productivity
that causes costs to rise.
"In part, this is longshoreman
responsibility," he said, "but it
is also the responsibility of the
steamship operators." '
Morse also disclosed that Beth
lehem Shipbuilding Corpora
tion's San Francisco shipyard
will get orders for at least one
and possibly three more 32,500
ton tankers in the near future.
One is already on order.
A Bethlehem spokesman said
the tankers will cost about 10
million dollars each. The keel
of the first will be laid this sum
mer. '

Cincinnati Calendar Firm Says Pinups
On Way Out; Trend Is for Information
BY BERNERD H. BUTTLER
United Press Correspondent
Columbus, Ohio (U.R) Time
apparently has run out on the
callendar pinup that scantily
clad young lady who reached
the peak of her popularity dur
ing World War II.
Reports from far-flung barber
shops, gasoline service stations,
and garages long the showcases
of the curvaceous miss who fre
quently appeared in the altogeth
er indicate the pinup era soon
will be part of yesteryear, ac
cording to Kemper-Thomas Co.,
Cincinnati", a major calendar
making firm.
The pinup with the tantaliz
ing curves and inviting smile in
an array of poses has been
shoved oft most 1957 calendars
by cute kids, scenic landscapes
and pictures promoting traffic
safety.
The calendar trend today is
toward more and more factual
information ranging from rec
ipes, an old standby, to floral
arrangements, what days to fish
and when to grease and oil your
car, say J. A. McCollum, ex
ecutive vice president. .
Bowlers will find the new cal
endars loaded with facts of the
game and guides to what to do
when faced by those pesky
splits. For The Teens
Teenagers come in for their
share of attention in the 1957
editions Back pages are loaded
with advice on what a young girl
should wear on her first date,
what clothes to wear at parties,
and other social information..
Other calendar themes gain
ing popularity in the new year
are those showing religious
scenes, American historical
shrines and bird paintings.
A new innovation is one print
ed on cloth that can be used in
emergencies as a kitchen towel.
Most pinups still dotting gar
age walls are relics of the days
when the calendar market was
flooded with assorted beauties
of all sizes and shapes. '-
Kemper - Thomas, says their
1957 calendars are the first in .a
quarter century that do not in
clude a nude. And the firm
which turned out an estimated 12
million calendars for the new
year says there are no plans to
include pinups of the 1958 and
1959 editions.
The Cincinnati firm speaks
with authority based on more
than 70 years in the calendar-
making business. The firm en
tered the field in the early
1890's.
McCollum says there still are
a few pinup calendars being
produced around the nation. But
he adds they are in the minority.
He says the increasing trend
toward religious themes is il
lustrated by one of the best sel
lers in the 1957 line. He sayi
more orders were received for
calendars picturing a little
blond girl on her way to Sunday
school than any other girl pic
ture in the company's line in
cluding pinups.
