MAIL TRIBUNE
A View of America
What is America?
Ask each of the 168 million Americans and you'd
probably have something like 168 million different
answers. America cannot be defined and encompassed
in a few words or phrases. It is too big, too varied, too
complicated for short or facile description.
Entire books have been written solely to outline
some one phase of what America is, or is doing.
And yet, because America is an enigma and a chal
lenge, attempts are constantly being made to probe
and dig and travel and write, to answer the question,
"What is America?"
""NE of the best of these we have seen is a series ojf
articles published by the London Times, written
by a special Times correspondent, and republished in
booklet form under the title "Eisenhower's America."
In its 30 pages the writer thoughtfully attempts to
describe, in brief, the land, the people, the problems,
the "power house," the neighbors and the future of
America. Despite the magnitude of the task, the effort
is amazingly successful.
And, as is not always the case W'hen a critic from
abroad examines America, America comes off well.
We wish each American (and each Englishman,
for that matter) could read the booklet. It would pay
dividends in understanding, both of self and of each
other.
A White House official is quoted to the effect that
"Only two things are worrying Americans, wheth
er there will be war or peace and the money in their
pockets."
The English observer concludes that while this
preoccupation with peace and solvency is undoubted
ly a fact, these are not the issues which really trouble
America. The issues which rise to the top, the writer
believes, are water and its proper distribution and
use, education, and the still-unsolved dilemma of our
Negro population.
And in describing the nation's "power house,"
the author finds the one most significant characteris
tic of the people is drive, momentum, and acceptance
and expectation of change and growth and newness.
He says:
"Where will it all end? The vastness of the land, the
wealth of the resources, the growth of the population, the
character of the people none of these things either singly
or together yet suggests a halt. The richest and greatest
civUization in the history of the world is still in the process
of growth. . . The great American dream drives on. It does
so not because of its machines, its know-how, its wealth,
or its resources, but because it is a passionately held idea."
'
IIE also deals with America's relationships and atti
tudes toward the rest of the world India, Red
China, Britain, France, Canada and how they
changed as world leadership has been thrust upon
America.
The author suggests that America's attitudes have
yet to mature fully, and that until they do, "America
is, in international affairs, likely to stagger from
crisis to crisis."
But, in looking to America's future, the English
writer forecasts that "the splendid arc of American
progress will soar far upwards yet."
"The United States is so young," he comments.
And he feels that while it is easy too easy to be
superior about American brashness and naivete, these
things are "only the surface froth that gets whipped
about by the winds of publicity." Underneath he be
lieves there is "the great solid sea of an American na
tion as simple as its aspirations ; as traditional as its
virtue, as conscious of its high destiny as any there has
ever been in the old world."
LIE considers three factors to be important in the
way America solves the problems of growth and
destiny.
One is the future of the press, which he sees
threatened in its role as educator and public opinion
molder by the growth of "monopoly" newspapers.
Another is the "educational dilemma" whether
education will degenerate into a process of teaching
technical "know-how," or whether it will also "pro
duce the amount of wisdom needed for the successful
leadership of the free world?"
The third, surprisingly to many readers, is the
role of Canada in the development of the continent.
He says:
"Together, influencing each other, supporting each
other, standing in their separate manners for the same
way of life, these two English-speaking neighbors by then
an overwhelming force may yet, after long travail, bring
in a new Augustan age."
THIS assessment of America is no provincial report
er's birdseye, no quickie-view of America. It is a
thoughtful and thought-provoking interpretation of
a great nation, only now beginning to reach its full
potential.
The report is frank. It tells of our weakness, our
failings, our unsolved problems, as well as our
strengths and virtues.
But, in the view of this English writer, America
comes off remarkably well. His conclusion is a reflec
tion of his travels and of his thoughts, and it is some
thing we all can take to heart as both a portent and
a challenge:
"Meanwhile, the United States of America, work
ing out its dream, blunders beneficently on. Of all
nations, its history has a higher proportion .of great
ness than" of baseness; of all peoples its motives are
the least suspect. Its errors have been, and are, many.
Its instincts have been, and are, magnificently right.
We see the small debits from day to day. Let us look
rather at the huge credit through the years. Amidst
all the dangers that beset us w:e can be thankful that
it is to this dynamic, humorous, impatient, impulsive,
generous people there has passed the leadership of
the world." E.A.

'Eisenhower Doctrine'
As Top Foreign News
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Correspondent
The week's good and bad
news on the international
balance sheet:
President Eisenhower an
nounced a bold new plan, in
volving a resort to force if neces-
sarv. tn com
bat C o m m u
nist aggression
in the Middle
East.
The Presi

Prime Minis
ter Ant hony
Eden and
French Pre-
Charif, iticcano mier Guy Mol
let jointly rejected a bid by So
viet Russian Premier Nikolai A.
Bulganin for a high-level five
power conference on disarma
ment. It was indicated that the So
viet government was working
out an important revamping of
policy in an attempt to end the
confusion which resulted from
its repudiation of Josef Stalin's
dictatorship.
The situation in Hungary,
where a historic revolt stemmed
from the "de-Stalinization" cam
paign, remained chaotic. Work
ers were 'still in a rebellious
mood.
Eisenhower asked leaders of
both Republican and Democratic
parties in Congress to back a
declaration which would com
mit the United States to meet
any armed Communist aggres
sion in the Middle East with
armed force-

become known as the Elvis Pres

It's whiny, sneering, trembly

Its voice is discordant to ev
erybody except teen-agers.
It reeks of sex instead of ro

adolescent from Tennessee, the
20th Century is more a fad than
a reality. Maybe we'll get over it
by the year 2000. which is no en
couragement to those of us who
don't expect to be around that
long.
No Lost Generation
We don't have, as the post
World I days had, a lost genera
tion.
We've lost a whole century.
We split the atom and opened
the door to power and riches un
dreamed of. Instead we used this
new tool to blast two cities level
with the earth and raced on, idiot
fashion, finding bigger and bet
ter ways to blow ourselves to
pieces.
We built a standard of living
that put two cars in many a ga
rage four, for that matter, in a
certain male canary's entourage
but we begrudged the money
to build the schools to educate
our kids.
Yep. An Elvis Presley Century.

In the Day's News
By FRANK
Big news maybe:
Fooling around a few weeks
ago with the University of Cali
fornia's gigantic atom-smashing
bevatron, a 12-man team of sci
entists stumbled onto a new way
to produce atomic energy.
The process is described as a
"catalyzed nuclear reaction."
This reaction causes a hydrogen
nucleus to fuse with a deuterium
nucleus. One result of this fusion
is the release of a fantastic quan
tity of energy.
An interesting feature of it is
the fact that the raw materials
are cheap and abundant.
SO FAR, the scientists tell us,
the reaction is only a labor
atory curiosity, with no present
commercial value. But, they say,
it offers a posibility of develop
ing into an industrial process of
incredible importance.
They add:
"It may lead to a way of tam
ing the "intense thermo-nuclear
heat of a hydrogen bomb and
modifying this reaction for
peacetime use."
WHEN may all this come to
' ' pass?
Not too soon, it seems. The
scientists explain it this way:
The catalyst that turns loose all
this energy is known as a mu
meson. This mu-meson has a
very short life about a mil
lionth of a second. In this .ex
ceedingly brief span of life it has
a chance to catalyze only one or
two atom-fusing reactions.
"What we need," one of the
scientists tells the reporters, "is
a different catalyzing particle
The declaration would cover
any armed agggression by So
viet Russia or by any Middle
Eastern country which might be
come a Russian tool.
The Eisenhower Doctrine, as
it may be called, was worked
out because of the critical situa
tion brought about by Egypt's
nationalization of the ' Suez
Canal, the Israeli-British-French
attack on Egypt and Russia's
open attempt to penetrate into
the Arab states.
Disarmament
Soviet Premier Bulganin met
a cold rebuff from the Big Three
Western Allies on the disarma
ment issue. Bulganin had writ
ten Eisenhower, Eden and Mol
let proposing a five-power con
ference on disarmament. The
United States, Britain, France,
Russia and India would have
been represented.
The Western Allies said they
preferred to keep disarmament
negotations in the United Na
tions. The President said the
United States intended to make
further proposal to the U.N. Dis
armament Commission.
"De-Slalinization"
Soviet Communist Chieftain
Nikita S. Khrushchev, speaking
at a New Year reception in Mos
cow, admitted that he and. other
present Soviet leaders shared the
blame for some of the misdeeds
of Stalin.
Khrushchev's admission of a
fact which had been obvious
ever since the denunciation of
Stalin last February seemed part
of a reshaping of Soviet policy.
The reshaping apparently
covers relations with Poland,

a key word: Tender. Not too hard
or it might hurt. Love is danger
ous, anyway; people might take
advantage of you.
Besides, get too intense and
you wind up on a psychiatrist's
couch. It's simpler to hate. Or at
least to sneer.
"Don't be cruel. . ."
That's another Presley tune.
No, don't be cruel. Why are peo
ple so mean to us when we're so
nice to everybody? Nobody un
derstands us. Everybody hates
us.
"Heartbreak Hotel . . "
Presley Again. And that's us.
Sitting in our lonely rooms, bit
ing our fingernails, waiting for
the bomb to go off, lamenting the
warm comfort (or so it says here)
of centuries past.
A Symbol
History may say that this side
burned youth who wiggles his
hips while singing popular songs
was a symbol of this time that
this century does a lot of wig
gling and squirming without
ever getting anywhere.
Try to imagine a Presley in the
1800's, when tougher people than
we were forging the world we
seem to be dithering away.
But let's not be too hard on
Mr. Presley. Doubtless he does
the best he can, and nobody
should interfere with his right
to do it.
But when the American people
shell out over a million dollars a
year to watch him do it
Well, leave it at that. Maybe
this is an Elvis Presley Century.
JENKINS
which has roughly the same
properties as a mu-meson, but
which has a lifetime of at least
ID to 20 minutes. Such a particle
would make possible millions of
energy - releasing reactions and
presumably the production of
enough atomic energy " to run
electric generators, motors, bat
tleships, airplanes and factories"
not to mention automobiles.
WILL such a particle be found?
As to that. Dr. Luis Al
varez of the University of Cali
fornia radiation laboratory says:
"It is at least interesting that
RUSSIAN physicists have recent
ly reported evidence that such a
particle exists in cosmic rays." (It
is worth remembering that study
of cosmic rays is one of the
projects involved in these man
made earth circling satellites
that are expected to be started
on their way in a year or so.)
PRACTICAL question:
If you own any power com
pany stocks, should you sell
them?
T ET'S put the answer this way:
" On the day this story about
the fantastic possibilities of
atomic power for peace time use
appeared, big Pacific Gas and
Electric company announced that
in 1957 it plans to spend about
190 million dollars for expansion
of its facilities for the produc
tion of power by conventional
methods.
PG&E, you see, isn't scared
which is both interesting and
reassuring. If we ever get scared

bad way.

interests me most is to have a
machine into which I can talk
and have writing come out the
other end There are now several
successful dictaphone machines
which transfer the voice onto
"receivers" such a blank flat
phonograph records, or the stand
ard wax cylinders, or electronic
magnetic tape. I am told that
the Soundscriber Company is
perhaps the most progressive,
but all are doing good work as
far as they go.
All dictating machines, how
ever, now need a pretty girl to
take the material from the wax
cylinder, or the flat record, or
the electronic tape, and transfer
it into written words on a sheet
of paper by use of a typewriter.
Great efforts, however, are be
ing made to eliminate the need
for this typist so that a person
can dictate directly into a ma
chine and have something come
out which anyone can read. This
would not require a typist.
Phonetic Spelling
Some years ago there was a
fine hotel at Lake Placid, New
York, which promoted the
Dewey Phonetic Spelling. Mr.
Dewey wrote all his advertise
ments, circulars, letters, and
even menus with phonetic spell
ing. Whether he did it to amuse I
the guests or to promote the
phonetic idea, I do not know.
One thing certain is that for any
of these revolutionary dictating
machines to succeed, all children
must be taught phonetic spelling.
At the present time, three large
corporations are trying to de
velop these new machines- Let
me explain their three different
methods of approach.
The International Business
Machines Corporations is hoping
to have its machine use the same
alphabet we now use in letters.
The Eastman Kodak Company
may bring out a photographic
method. Of course, the photo
graphy of still images was really
a wonderful invention; then fol
lowed the photograph of moving
pictures. It is possible that these
can be deveolped so that the
spoken word will be photo
graphed like a moving object
This is almost approached now
by showing in television the ex
pressions on people's faces; in
fact, many listeners have the
ability to read the lips of speak
ers. Photograph experts will not
be satisfied until they can
photograph thoughts, as well as
words.

Matter of Fact
NOTHING REALLY NEW
Washington There is an old
military maxim: "if you don't
know what to do, . do some
thing." It is a
good rule, be
cause in a
time of danger,
doing s o m e
thing is almost
always better
thandoing
nothing. By the
same token,
the Adminis
tration's dou
Stewart Alsop
ble-barrelled plan for dealing
with the Middle Eastern crisis
is a great deal better than noth
ing. But tfte plan has been wide
ly hailed both as a potential
solution for the crisis, and as a
bold new departure like the
"Truman Doctrine" or the Mar
shall Plan. In fact, it is nothing
of the sort.
The plan has two parts. Con
gress will be asked to authorize
the President in advance to op
pose with force a Soviet aggres
sion in the Middle East. At the
same time, the Middle Eastern
countries are to get "special at
tention" within the framework
of a foreign aid bill somewhat
smaller than the Administration
requested last year.
The request for standby au
thority is really hardly more
than a re-statement of the obvi
ous. The United States is al
ready legally committed to de
fend Greece and Turkey against
Soviet aggression, and morally
committed to defend Iran and
Pakistan. Soviet forces would
have to pass through or over
these countries to attack other
Middle Eastern countries.
tJO ONE seriously believes that
' that the Soviets . intend to
launch a parachute attack on,
say, Iraq, or that the United
States would look the other way
if they did. In fact, it has been
clear ever since the Azerbaijan
crisis in 1946 that overt aggres
sion by the Soviets in the Mid
dle East would invite American
intervention and a third world
war.
It is equally clear that there
by Babson
Of the different systems, the
electronic system interests me
most although it requires for
getting the present alphabet and
returning to the use of script
writing. First came the tele
graph with the dash and dot
system; then came the telephone
and TelAutograph; then follow
ed the electronic-phonograph and
the magnetic tape. Few persons
realize the wonderful electronic
machine that is in their latest
phonograph. When Thomas Edi
son invented the original phono
graphs, they were purely me
chanical. Every spoken word
made a wavy indentation on a
wax cylinder, after which these
wavy movements were exag
gerated by levers which, at the
other end, moved a thin metal
diaphragm and faintly repro
duced these spoken words. With
a large horn the sound increased
so that anyone, nearby, could
hear them.
The modern phonographs,
however, turn the waving mo
tions which have been produced
by the spoken words into elec
tric waves which, through the
use of tubes, are greatly mag
nified. Radio Corporation of
America is already transferring
these words into wavy lines
which some experts can read.
This would be the ideal system;
but it would requ're the use of
almost a new written script
something like "shorthand"
which could be taught to every
child- Even this, however, is not
so revolutionary when you think
that the "score" of music is an
entirely different "alphabet"
which millions of young people
of all nations have learned to
read and enjoy.

Constipation is caused by
what doctors call a "thrifty

that, instead of retaining
moisture as it should, does the
opposite: robs the colon of so
much moisture that its con

dry that they block the bowel;

to purge that propels and ex

is nothing really new about the)
second part of the plan. Under
the current foreign aid program,
the Administration asked Ior
more than $300 million for the
Middle Eastern countries. The
Administration may ask for $50
million or even $100 million
more this year. But this is not
a bold new program. It is a
change of emphasis in an exist-
ing program no doubt a desir
able change of emphasis, but no
more than that.
In fact, the real danger in the
Middle East springs neither
from the overt Soviet aggres
sion. The oil producing coun
tries, Iraq and Saudi Arabia
notably, have dollars coming out
of their ears. Syria has refused
dollar aid already, on political
grounds. Egypt's Colonel Nasser
is regarded with good reason by
the British and French as their
mortal enemy. If he is now re
warded with generous helpings
of American dollars, without any
firm commitments in return, the
strained Western Alliance will
endure another heavy blow.
AS FOR the military threat, it -is
indirect rather than nwrf
Last week, Frank Kelley, able
foreign correspondent for the
New York Herald Tribune, re
ported that the Soviet and Syri
an governments have reached a
firm agreement. The agreement
provides not only for the con
tinuing supply of Soviet arms
to Syria, but for placing Soviet
technicians actually in command
of key Syrian units.
If there is any provision in the
new plan for dealing with this
kind of indirect threat it Is not
visible to the naked eye. The
fact is that the Soviets have no
reason to resort to overt aggres
sion in the Middle East. Nasser
and his Syrian imitator. Colonel
Serraj, are not Communists. But
they share the same objectives
as the Soviets to eliminate all
Western interests and influence,
ultimately, including American
interests and influence, in the
Middle East. Thus the Soviets
need only arm and otherwise
encourage Nasser-type Arab na-.
tionalism in order to serve So
viet ends.
A LL this Is not to suggest that
the proposal to give the
President standby authority to
resist Soviet aggression in the
Middle East is not a useful pro
posal. A restatement of the obvi
ous can often be very usefuL
It may be particularly useful
now, since (as Ambassador to
France Douglas Dillon undiplo
matically but accurately pointed
out) Soviet threats of aggression
were the key factor causing the
collapse of the Anglo-French
Suez adventure. Moreover, for
eign aid dollars, though .they
will not miraculously transform
the situation, can be usefully
used to deal with the cancerous
Arab refugee problem, to bolster
collapsing Jordan, and to give
the West some sort of bargain
ing power with Nasser in nego
