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.
Russia's rulers hope to seize
the opportunity to move in and
dominate the region a part of

'Omnibus1 May Lose Sunday

New York (U.R) The

It's beginning to look as if
"Omnibus" will lose its Sunday
evening time spot on ABC-TV
next fall. Disappointing ratings
are the villain. Ted Mack's "Ori

the hot contender for the slot.

ABC-TV is cooking up a new

Saturdays . . . ABC-TV is also
wooing Mike Wallace for a new
"magazine" type show.

political preemptions, summer

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.

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. This presumably means I fallen under Communist control.

On the basis of the "Savings and Time" deposits shown in the
abore year-end statement, Savings Account customers of the Firrt
National Bank of Portland will receive nearly $7,000,000 as interest
on their savings this year.
About SlVi million of this amonnt is due to the new, higher 2lfa
interest rate announced a few days ago, which went into effect
January 1.
The supply of money, in the form of deposits in the bank, is large,
as these statement totals show. But the demand is greater than the
supply. So, it is better business for you than ever before, to put
extra dollars into a First National savings account. In addition to
the many values of bank safety and the many bank services you may
use, your money is working for you earning more than ever before.
People in Oregon know it pays to bank at First National where
service and convenience are always First!
