TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE
Egyptian,
Discussed
The Egyptian and Arab view
point on recent events in the
Middle East was explained in
Medford and Ashland yesterday
by Dr. Hussein Kamel Selim,
who made several appearances
under the sponsorship of Med
ford chapter, United Nations as
sociation. Dr. Selim, formerly on the
faculty of Cairo university and
a former undersecretary of the
Egyptian ministry of national
guidance, addressed an audience
in St. Mark's church annex last
night after speaking at Southern
Oregon college, before small
groups and on radio and tele
vision. Dr. Selim, frankly pro-Nasser,
declared that the United States
frightens the Arab people and
the Asiatics in general by put
ting too much stress on the mili
tary "The United States con
fronts us armed to the teeth and
talking too much of bombs, bases
and 'brink of war' " Dr. Selim
said.
Earlier Luncheon
At a luncheon earlier in the
day, the Egyptian had assured
his listeners, however, that the
Arabs fear the British and
French much more than they
do the Americans, and he quali
fied his statements last night by
adding that in spite of U. S.
militarism, he was jure the peo
ple of this country mean to be
friends with the Arabs.
Dr. Selim said the United
States did not make enough ef
fort to sell the idea of freedom
and friendship which we have
to offer the Arabs, now on
rising tide of nationalism. "You
have everything to offer us, and
Russians have nothing." he said
"They whisper the things the
Arab peoples want to hear, but
they are sweet nothings. The
United States could win over
the Middle East easily if she
would change her approach
no one could doubt your talk
of freedom and liberty," he
added. At luncheon he had said
that the Russians suppress free
dom at home and advocate it
abroad, whereas the "United
States has freedom at home but
fails to support it abroad.
Not Backwoods
Dr. Selim opened his talk last
night by reminding his listeners
that Egypt is not "just the back
woods of Africa" but a proud
nation which developed one of
the world's earliest civilizations
and that the Middle East has

Arab Viewpoints Are
Dr. Hussein Selim
produced three of the world's
great religions.
He reviewed briefly the his
tory of events which led up to
the present conflict between Is
rael and the Arab people, say
ing the British had failed to
live up to their promises made
during and immediately after
World .War I. This resulted in
deep bitterness, which was
much heightened by the crea
tion of the Jewish state of Is
rael, he said.
The speaker then continued
to events of the past few years
and months, saying that the
Jews had forced the Arabs out
of lands which they had owned
for long periods, and that the
Israeli state had defied the Un
ited Nations and the western
nations. He conceded that Nas
ser had been "impetuous"- in
nationalizing the Suez canal
and said the unfortunate invas
ion action of the British and
French, by which they hoped
to crush Nasser, had just the
opposite effect and made Nasser
the hero of the Arab world.
Reriewe Efforts
He reviewed the efforts of
Nasser to secure funds for the
Aswan dam, saying the dam is
absolutely necessary for the eco
nomic advancement of Egypt
He declared Nasser and the
Egyptian people had been out
raged when Secretary of State
Dulles had blocked the loan on

the grounds that Egypt's rela
tions with Russia were too
friendly.
At the luncheon Dr. Selim
emphatically denied that Egypt
had "mortgaged" its cotton
crops for years to come in order
to secure arms from Russia. He
said the arms were to be paid
with but one , year's crop, and
that figures could be produced
to prove this. "Nasser is no
fool," he added.
Praise Ike
At both the luncheon and eve
ning meetings Dr. Selim prais
ed President Eisenhower, say
ing he considered him both a
great president and . a great
statesman. He admitted that he
disagreed with Eisenhower's
latest foreign policy towards the
Middle East as too militaristic,
but added that "at least it is a
statement of policy which lets
the Middle East know where she
stands. In the past we have not
known what the U. S. foreign
policy was in the Middle East,
except that it helped Israel." He
said he did not believe the pres
ident's plan would keep the
peace between Israel and the
Arab states.
He urged his listeners to at
tempt to understand the Arab
viewpoint, and warned that de
cisions made now will bring
about either pacification or
chaos m the Middle East, and
perhaps in the entire world.
In closing Dr. Selim said "The
United States should declare
herself definitely on the side
of all the underdeveloped coun
tries. It would be a tremendous
moral victory."
Expresses Confidence
During the lengthy question
period Dr. Selim was asked how
the United States could deter
Russia unless she maintained a
strong military nation which he
countered by saying that he ap
preciated America's need to arm,
but thought there was too much
talk about it. Dr. Selim, a for
mer delegate to United Na
tions, expressed his confidence
in the United Nations, saying
it should be used more and
more. There was much talk of
the great difference between
U. S. aid to the Jews as com
pared to that given the Arabs,
with the point made that much
of the aid to Israel had been
outright gifts from Jewish peo
ple in America, and not from
the U. S. government. The oil
wealth of the Arab states was
discussed, and Dr. Selim ' said
the vast sums of money -paid by
the oil companies do. not reach
the, Arab people, but is channel
ed to a few families..
Asked to restate his points
which might bring about . per
manent settlement of the prob
lems he said "stability-and paci
fication should be promoted arid
the standard of living raised."
America should be a friend, to
all, and let this fact be known
declare yourself on the side of
liberty all around the world.'-
Dr. Selim was introduced by
George Rode, president of the
UN chapter. The Egyptian's aud
ience was augmented through
the efforts of the League of
Women Voters and Great De
cisions committee members.

Bogarf Declared
Doomed Year Ago
Hollywood (U.R) Actor
Humprey Bogart refused up un
til the end to admit he could be
licked by cancer, but his doctor
knew almost a year ago that the
movie tough guy was doomed,
it was disclosed today.
Dr. Maynard Brandsma said
he realized when Bogart was
operated upon for cancer of the
esophagus last March that there
was no hope for the Academy
Award-winning actor. He said
he did not want the 56-year-old
film veteran to know the worst
and so withheld the truth.
. Bogart, who succumbed early
Monday at his home here, may
have sensed that death was clos
ing in on him. But, he appeared
convinced he could conquer the
disease even though his weight
had dwindled from a normal 160
pounds to about 125.
Brandsma said the cancer,
which: originally started in the
esophagus, had spread through
out the actor's system.
Bogarf s wife, actress Lauren
Bacall, announced that funeral
services would be - conducted
Thursday at All-Saints Episcopal
Church in Beverly Hills with
burial in Forest Lawn Memorial
Park

infectant on his feet to leave a
trail- from which the sensitive
nosed bloodhounds veered. ;

Senate Probe of Gas
Price Boosts Urged
Washington U.R) Sens..W.
Kerr Scott (D.-N.C) and J.
Glenn Beall (R.-Md.), have pro
posed the Senate look into re
cent increases in the price of
gasoline and fuel oil.
The senators made the move
Monday after Sen, Margaret
Chase Smith (R.-Me.) said the
government should step in if
necessary to prevent "a fuel oil
price gouge on Americans." :
Scott said he was .drafting a
resolution that "would set up a
special Senate committee to
make a thorough study of the
recent price increases in gaso
line and heating oils."
"From all the information I
can get," he said, "I'm afraid
the recent across-the-board in
creases by the major companies
are more than just coincident."

Changes in Military
Reserve Program May
Touch Off
Washington (U.R) Sweep
ing changes ordered by the
Army in the military reserve
program threatened ' today to
touch off a new fight in Con
gress over how youths should
fulfill their military obligations.
The Army's plan would re
duce the reserve obligation of
tens of thousands of young men
and in the future open up an
escape path from the draft.
Approval Seen Needed
.Congressmen on the House
Armed Services committee who
specialize in reserve affair ques
tion, however, whether the army
could carry out it plans with
out first getting approval of Con
gress. Rep. Overton Brooks (D-La.)
chairman of a House armed ser
vices subcommittee that drew up
the basic reserve law, ordered
hearings started on Feb. 4 and
threatened to upset the Penta
gon's changes by law if neces
sary in event the subcommittee
decides the changes are unwise.
The National Guard associa
tion, which has powerful friends
on Capitol Hill, also was up in
arms. It strongly opposes a pro
vision in the new program re
quiring that all National "Guard
enlistees after April 1 must take
six months active duty, training.
