f BIX MEDFORP (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Monday, January 7. 1957 Eisenhower Doctrine Reads Like Statement of Failing Confidence in U.li President's Message Heavy With Pledges By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington (U.PJ Presi dent's Eisenhower's explanation of his new Middle East doctrine L reads like statement of failing confi dence in the United Nations as a protector of world peace. That's a new tune. The Presi dent's message to C o n g r ess outlining the doctrine was heavy with pledges to act within the framework of the United Na tions. Reliance upon the United Nations appeared, however, to be more lip service than real. Mr. Eisenhower reviewed re cent U.N. efforts to deal with the Soviet Union's invasion of Hun gary and felt compelled to re port to Congress that in light of events in Hungary the United Nations is not a dependable pro tector of world peace not, that Is, when Communism is the ag gressor. Kremlin Enjoys Veto Moscow enjoys a built-in- veto to prevent U.N. Security Coun cil action against any commo tion in which the Kremlin's men may choose to engage. The Secu rity Council's quick action against Communist aggression in Korea in June of 1950 was a lucky fluke. The Russian coun cil member had abandoned the council and had no opportunity to veto organization of a U.N. military command for Korea. The Soviet Union was present and voting, however, when the Security Council sought to re quire withdrawal of Russian armed forces from Hungary. Having cited that frustrating fact in his doctrine mesage, Mr. Eisenhower put it this way: "And it (the Soviet Union) has shown callous indifference to the recommendations, even the censure, of the General Assem bly. Tne United Nations can al ways be helpful, but it cannot be a wholly dependable protec tor of freedom when the ambi tions of the Soviet Union are involved. "Under all the circumstances I have laid before you, a greater responsibility now devolves on the United States." Veto Power Crippling There it is in some 60-odd words: The Soviet Uion veto power has made the United Na tions undependable as the pro tector of world peace. Therefore, the United States must assume greater responsibilities. The responsibilities in this in stance involve the possibility of a hot war in which the United States, with such allies as might pitch in on their own, would op pose the armed might of the So viet Union in the Middle East. Mr. Eisenhower's Saturday message to Congress was a re quest for blank check authority to make hot war in that area and upon that potential enemy with out further reference to Con gress. There is no knowing whether the United States ever will have to make good on the hot war phase of the Eisenhower doc trine. The money phase of the doc trine, however, already is in the planning stage. The one certain factor in the new doctrine is that it will cost a lot of money. The down payment will be $400 million, plus whatever may be spent from available funds dur ing the remainder of the cur rent fiscal year. That means that taxes will re main where they are for a long time to come, probably as long as two or three years. Summary of President Eisenhower's Middle East Doctrine Washington (U.R) Here is a summary of the Eisenhower doctrine: Calls For 1. Authority for the President to use U.S. armed forces to de fend any Middle East country attacked by "any nation control led by international Commu nism." Such aid would be given only "at the desire of the nation attacked." 2. Authority to set up military aid programs for any Middle East nation or group of nations wishing them. 3. Economic aid to help them build up their strength to main tain their independence. The economic and military aid would include a specific new $400 mil lion appropriation for the next two fiscal years, plus additional sums from present and future foreign aid appropriations. Need for Program Recent British - French-Israeli attacks on Egypt and repeated Arab-Israel border raids have increased "instability" in the Mid-East.

By that date, the mil lionaire in the plot will have given away $72,999,652.71 reasons for the short count are political preemptions, summer re-runs and one character who returned all but $347.29.

Durling Futures Syndicate, Inc.) easily. The average Libra is said to have had at least 16 proposals of marriage before reaching the age of 21. They make loyal and lovable wives but are very ex pensive to support. They hate housework. They have a great talent for handling men. They excell in the matter of being the real boss of the family by making the man of the house believe he is. Or, so say the stargazers. Among the few hotels where dogs are welcomed is the Plaza in Manhattan. Such has been the case since that great and beautiful hotel opened 50 years ago. The first man to register at the Plaza in 1907 was Alfred G. Vanderbilt, the second was George Jay Gould, and the third was John W. "Bet a Million Gates, and they all had then- dogs with them. Pat Names If a married couple has pet names for each other it is a sign they are very much in love. Such is the claim of experts on life among the married. If that is so, then Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller are getting along tine. Marilyn calls her husband: Popsie Wopsie" and he calls her "Poopsie Woopsie." Asking Queries from clients. Q. When and where was the first televis ion program telecast to the gen eral public? A. In England, over 20 years ago. To be exact, on November 2, 1936. Q. What was named as the limit to the Jack Johnson-Jess willard fight in Havana? I claim it was billed as a " fight to the finish." A. Bout you mentioned was scheduled for 45 rounds. As you know, Wil lard won by a knockout in the 26th. Q. Why do you . always write it Baltimore, Md.? Every- Doay Knows Baltimore is' in Maryland. A. There is also a Baltimore in Vermont. Breviiiei Authorities on smoking eti quette say the most irritating of lemaie smokers is the drooper. A 'drooper is a female who never removes the cigarette from her mouth and lets it "droop' between puffs . . . Expressions that should be given a long rest or permanently retired are: "Out of this world," "You can say that again," and "Nice seeing you." People who repeatedly use these expressions indicate they are in a mental rut. Wild Party Where is held the world's wildest annual party? How about Cologne's "Kissing Carni val"? In the week before Lent the Cologne citizens really go wild, especially the females Married women take off their wedding rings and play the field. They wander around town kiss ing every handsome man they meet. Tradition requires that during this particular week no man can refuse to kiss any wom an who asks him to. Otherwise he must pay a forfeit. The Co logne "Kissing Carnival" grows wilder and wilder year by year. All efforts by reformers to tame it down have failed. Health Hint Housework is good for the health. So many physicians claim. One specialist says it is not only beneficial to women but also to men. He says for a slightly nervous man, dishwash ing and ironing are excellent exercises. Keep this in mind, lady. If your husband is a little jittery from the trials and tribu lations of a day at the office have him do a little dishwash ing or ironing. Guide to Gals Women born under Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) attract men ary turn down to Dr. Frances Horwich and her "Ding Done School" the show recently folded on NBC-TV. CBS-TV shelled out some heavy coin for a 10 per cent in terest in "Around The World in 80 Days" but don't expect to see it on TV soon. CBS will concen trate first on merchandising rights such as "Around The World" comic books, games and neckties. "Odyssey," the new 60-minute Sunday show that CBS-TV laun ches this month, is coming in on a low-low budget S17.500 . . . "Do You Trust Your Wife" will concentrate on celebrities as con testants from now on. their announced goal of Com munizing the world. Soviet rul ers would not hesitate to use "any means" to gain their end. Free nations of the area "need, and for the most part want," added strength to assure their independence. Reasons for U.S. Action The United States is commit ted to preventing forcible con quest of free nations as shown by its many treaties from Eu rope to the Pacific. Assurance of the integrity of Middle East nations is "directly related" to U.S. security. Russian domina tion of the mid-east "would have the most adverse, if not dis astrous, effect upon our own na tion's economic life and politi cal prospects." Role of United Nations The U.N. can help preserve peace but is not a "wholly de pendable protector of freedom" where Russian ambitions are in volved. This country already has "reinforced" the U.N. by region al defense treaties with 42 other nations. Any U.S. steps in the mid-east "would have to be con sonant" with any U.N. actions and in event of armed attack "would ... be subject to the overriding authority of the United Nations Security Council in accordance with the charter." Role of Congress Congress is asked to authorize the new program in language that will "make it apparent that if need" be our words will be backed by action." Support of congress is vital to give Russia a meaningful warning against any mid-east aggression. If need for military intervention arises Mr. Eisenhower would "main tain hour-by-hour contact with congress." If congress were not in session and "the situation had grave implications," he would "of course, at once call it into special session." Hoped for Resulii The President's "hope and be lief" is that proclamation of U.S. intentions of protecting the Mid dle East will itself prevent "any contemplated aggression." Al though the program involves risks, the "greatest" risk is that Communist rulers might seize on the Mid-East's present weakness to launch an armed attack. This would start a "chain of circum stances which would almost sure ly involve the United States in military action." The proposed doctrine is the "best insurance" against" . . . any nation control led by international Commu- Russia, any of its European latel nism" that resorts to "overt ag- lites, Communist China Or any gression" against a Middle East i Mid-East nation deemed to have nation.
