In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
At the moment of writing this,
it looks like events in the Middle
East are rushing toward "a shut
down. But
A- yet
One can't be sure. Undoubted
ly a lot of bluffing is going on.
It may that young King Hus
sein of Jordan (age 22) is doing
some bluff calling to see what
will happen.
that Saudi Arabian and Iraqi
troops have taken up positions
SHIELDING the Jordanian cap
ital city of Amman from pro
communist forces.
That, if true, wouldn't indi
cate Arab cooperation with the
scheme to take over Jordan as a
communist satellite.
rpHIS we can be sure of:
Russia wants" the Middle
East. She wants it as a part of
her long-range program of tak
ing over the world for commun
ism. This is the Russian recipe
for communist expansion:
' Take over satellites by intern
al subversion that is, encourage
the LOCAL commies to seize
power in a so-called "revolu
tion." When that is accomplish
ed, shrug your shoulders and say
piously to the world at large: IT
IS THE WILL OF THE PEO
PLE.
Then
HOLD THE SATELLITES BY
BRUTE FORCE: as in Hungary
THAT is what Russia is hoping
to accomplish in the Middle
East. She thinks she owns Egypt
soul and body, as a result of the
deal by which she supplied Nas
ser with arms. She has Syria in
her clutches already. She hopes
to add Jordan to her bag of sat
ellites.
rpHIS is Russia's problem:
If she is to take over the
Middle East by subversion, she
must have at least the tacit co
operation of the Arabs.
Will she get it?
That remains to be seen. There
are signs today that the Arab
world may not go along with her
completely in her plans for Mid
dle East subversion.
Watch Iraq which is an im
portant Arab nation ruled by a
cousin of Jordan's King Hussein.

another important Arab nation

WATCH ISRAEL. .
Israel is reported to be ready
to fight at the drop of a hat
and Israel has a tough, compe
tent, give-tis-liberty-or-give-us-death
army rat has proved
its prowess every time it has
fought.
WHERE do we come in?
The answer to that is def
inite enough. Keeping commun
ism out of the Middle East is
now (under the Eisenhower Doc
trine) officially a part of Amer
ican foreign policy.
President Eisenhower said in a
terse statement that he regards
"the independence and integrity
of Jordan as vital." He used the
same words that are used in the
doctrine that bears his name,
which pledges military aid to
any Mideast nation REQUEST
ING HELP against a communist
aggressor. Congress has approv
ed the Doctrine.
Units of the powerful Ameri
can sixth fleet, including the air
craft carrier Forrestal, are now
moving toward the Eastern Med
iterranean. SO T
If young King Hussein of
Jordan asks our help we'll be in
it for blood.
We'll see what we'll see.
Russians Reach New
Climax in Campaign
Editorial
Comment'
CONGRESSMAN PORTER
MAKES GOOD IMPRESSION
People who attended Tuesday
morning's breakfast to meet
Charles O. Porter, the new con
pressman from Oregon's Fourth
District, were favorably impress
ed with his approach to the prob
lems of economic development
in this and other areas of his
district. In his few months in
Washington he has amassed
much valuable factua'l informa
tion concerning the Port of
Umpqua and its relative impor
tance among Oregon harbors
which should make it easier to
get the federal appropriations
which will be needed not only
for urgent repairs but for full
utilization of its possibilities.
In 1955, the Port of Umpqua
was credited with 58,700 tons
of freight handled, and its 10-
year average was 653,000 tons
outstripping the Port of Ya-
quina at Newport which is ex
pected to receive very large ap
propriations at this session of
Congress, and placing the Ump
qua next to Coos Bay in actual
traffic in recent years.
An aggressive and persistent
campaign should bring results
here. Port Umpqua Courier,
Reedsport.
Saturday Bank Closing
Defeated in Senate
Salem (U.R) The Oregon
Senate Friday rejected so-called
Saturday bank closing measure.
The bill, which would have
allowed banks to remain open
for the purpose of making
change but would have banned
action on negotiable instruments
on Saturday, lost on a minority
report that it be adopted. The
Vote was 21 to 8 with one sen
ator excused.
(Continued from page 1)
In fact, the Geneva conference
proved to be a major hoax to
cover Russian maneuvers for
penetration of the Middle East
One of Russia's historic aims has
been the control of the Middle
East through the Black Sea
Straits. I speak with some ex
perience when I urge that we
should never again meet with
the Russian rulers outside of
Washington. Three Presidents of
the United States have gone to
meet the Russians at places suit
able to their convenience and
needs.
We in the United States and
the free world have waited pa
tiently for the emergence of a
truly peaceful Russia. When we
see real signs of a truly peace
ful Russia, we will be the first
to welcome and cooperate with
well-meaning Russians for world
peace.
But pending the emergence of
a truly peaceful Russia, we must
not forget that the only thing
the masters of the Kremlin have
ever understood is force. For
that reason we are compelled to
maintain our strength and to
help maintain the strength of
the free world.
Course of Prudonco
This is no policy of despair; it
is the course of prudence and
hope. Time is on the side of the
free peoples of the world, and
until the Russian rjeople are free
to assume their responsibility in
helping to guard the peace of
the world, we must do every
thing we can to discourage Rus
sian dictators from embarking
on mad ventures which will lead
eventually to World War III.
I strongly believe, therefore,
that Great Britain and the Unit
ed States should continue as ex
peditiously as possible whatever
experiments are necessary to
maintain our supremacy in the
nuclear field.
Let us bear in mind that our
continued experiments should
also enable our scientists to find
new ways of harnessing nuclear
energy for peaceful purposes.
We have already learned many
important facts from our tests
with the hydrogen explosion.
Some Misgivings
I, for one, have some mis
givings about our negotiations
for a so-called "open sky." I
would suggest that from above
the surface, even with the most
senstitive equipment, we will be
able to see only what the Rus
sians allow us to see. Until we
have full and equal inspection
on the ground as well as under
ground, we may find ourselves
in a position where we are like
ly to lose more than we can
gain.
At the very moment the Rus
sians are bullying us and our
allies with their large assort
ment of nuclear explosions, they
are attempting, at the same time,
to deceive the world by saying
they are prepared to stop their
own tests, on the condition Bri
tain and the United States agree
in advance to stop their tests.
For. one thing, let us remind
the Russians that when we make
agreements, we keep them The
Russians have another code
when it comes to agreements.
They keep only the ones that
suit their purpose.
Therefore, I am of the opinion
that there can be no agreement
on nuclear tests or nuclear
weapons control except under a
system of rigorous and contin
uous mutual inspection. I would
ask the Russians if they are pre
pared to let our inspectors see
for themselves what they 'are

really doing. If not, we must
remain on guard and continue
to suspect the intentions and
motives of the Russians.
People Want Peace
This is a state of affairs which
the world cannot too long en
dure. All the peoples of the
earth want peace, but the Rus
sian communist dictatorship per
sists in blocking it.
For 12 years, since the end of
the Second World War, the
Kremlin dictatorship has not
ceased its relentless harassment
of every effort the West has
made to reach a working agree
ment with Russia.
The cold war persists even
after the death of Stalin, and the
brief campaign of de-Staliniza-tion
that intrigued the world
tempted some of our people to
hope that a new Russia had
emerged. t
Nothing to Fear
Russia has known all along
that she has nothing to fear from
us in the way of aggression. All
she needs to do in the interest
of her security is to attend to
her own business and leave the
rest of the world alone, as we
do. We have no territorial am
bitions, nor are are we interest
ed in building up an empire of
satellite states. Quite to the con
tary, we have been encouraging
and helping self-determination
and independence everywhere
for all peoples who feel ready
for it.
But the Soviets are again us
ing the pretense that the United
States is doing everything pos
sible to encircle Russia. The mas
ters of the Kremlin know full
well that the United States and
her friends and allies act solely
for' defense and for no other
purpose. That is true even in the
face of constant Russian trucul
ence, subervision and infiltra
tion. We have only to look at
the recent troubles they have
stirred up in the Middle East.
Back to Old Tactics
They are back at their old
tactics of simultaneously offer
ing peace pacts and threatening
to unleash a "hot" war upon
those nations that stand up to
them and refuse to submit to
their terms.
The Soviets would have us
settle for what they call "co
existence." Their idea of a co
existence is, in reality, a nervous
and perilous truce which could
lead to war. Co-existence is Rus
sia's device to avoid making the
necessary concessions for an as
sured world pace. In fact, co
existence is Russian s idea of
making everybody do what Rus
sia wants.
There are some people, and I
regret to say some governments,
who have not yet accepted the
fact that but for the Russian
intransigence the world would
now be enjoying the pursuits of
peace. Mankind today is sick
with anxiety and torn by fear
of another world war, solely be
cause Russia wants it that way.
Up to Russia
It is up to Russia to dispel the
belief that she cannot achieve
her legitimate aims in a free and
peaceful world. She can achieve
peace, if she really wants it, as
all other nations do.
For if Russian performance
were up to its pretended peace
ful propaganda, there would
have been no conflict in Korea,
no Far East crisis and no Middle
East crisis. There would have
been no slaughter of Polish and
Hungarian people, and no crush
ing burdens of an armaments
race. The world would be direct
ing its energies toward produc
tion for peace and the improve
ment of the standards of living
of all peoples everywhere.
Every attempt to. reason with
the Russian dictators and every
effort at reasonable compromise
and conciliation have failed.
More than ever now our for
eign policy needs to be clear and
unmistakable. Let us stop run
ning around the globe with dis
jointed pieces of policy pulled
out of the air and made on the
fly. Let us have real frankness
and bi-partisanship in the Ad
ministration's relations with
Congress. We must check the
growing skepticism that in our
foreign policy we don t know
where we are going or what we
are doing. Above all, let us be
sure that the Russians and our
allies do not continue to have
that idea.

Types of. Districts
Discussed at Meeting
Cave Junction Quentin
Bowman of the State Water Re
sources board described differ
ent types of districts which
could be formed in connection
with the proposed Sucker Creek
Irrigation project at a meeting
of the Water Resources group
here last week.
Although the bureau of recla
mation recommends a regular ir
rigation district, it was suggested
by members that if flood con
trol and drainage could be con
sidered in the project, additional,
assistance might be gained from
the government. - -
A total of 8i members now
belong to the organization that
was formed to study all water
problems in the valley, with
special emphasis on the Sucker
Creek project which would bring
irrigation water to some 16,000
acres here.
Albam Pleads Guilty
To Spying for Russia
New York (U.PJ Jacob Al
bam, one of three persons arrest
ed on charges of spying for
Russia, pleaded guilty Friday.
Albam, 64, pleaded guilty
specifically to a charge he con
spired to obtain national defense
secrets for transmission to
Russia.
Jack and Myra Soble, arrested
with Albam on spying charges,
pleaded guilty April 10 to the
same charge.
The three were arrested last
January and arraigned on a six
count indictment. By pleading
guilty to the second count of the
indictment, they hope to bypass
the first count charging them
with transmitting defense
secrets, a crime punishable by
death under the 1950 espionage
act.
Russia Seen Ready To
Negotiate With West
Moscow U.R The Soviet
Union is ready to negotiate with
the West for a watered down
joint declaration of renunciation
of force in the Middle East, po
litical observers said Friday.
They drew this conclusion
from recent Soviet pronounce
ments, particularly recent com
ments on the crisis in the tinder
box kingdom of Jordan.

Death Rate From Diabetes Shows
Slight Decrease in Recent Years
Editor's note: The "five treat kill-
ers." the diseases that account for the
greatest mortality rate among adult
Americans, are heart disease, cancer,
cerebral hemorrhage, pneumonia
influenza and diabetes.
The United Press asked five out
standing authorities in those fields to
write a simplified account of the
causes, symptoms, treatment, preven
tion and possibility of conquering the
"kiUers."
By HENRY T. RICKETTS, MJ).
Professor of Medicine
University of Chicago
Written for United Press
DIABETES
1. How great a killer is diabetes?
The death rate has shown a
slight decrease over the past
several years. Three-fourths of
diabetic deaths are caused by
disease of the - blood vessels
(heart attacks, strokes and the
like) to which the diabetic is
especially susceptible, rather
than by diabetes itself. There
are probably 2,000,000 living
diabetics in the country.
2. What causes the disease?
The immediate cause in most
cases is lack of insulin produc
tion by the pancreas, but what
makes this gland deficient is not
known with certainty. There is
good evidence that heredity
plays an important role.
3. What are the outstanding
symptoms?
Thirst, excessive urination,
weakness, hunger and loss of
weight are the commonest
symptoms. Diabetes may exist in
a mild form with no symptoms
whatever.
4. Is early diagnosis important?
Yes, because early diagnosis
permits early treatment, which
is the only known way of pre
venting serious complications.
This is the reason for the annual
Diabetes Detection Drive spon
sored by the American Diabetes
Association.
5. How can it be most effective
ly prevented?
The most effective prevention
would be to forbid the intermar
riage of diabetics and of persons
who have diabetic relatives.
This is hardly practical. Some
individuals predisposed to hered
ity may delay, minimize, or pos
sibly prevent the disorder in
themselves by regular exercise
and the strict avoidance of obe
sity, but they are still' capable
of transmitting the tendency to
their offspring.
6. How can it be most effective
ly treated?
The three cardinal rules for
treatment are diet, insulin, in
jections when needed, and exer
cise. In addition, the patient
must be taught the essentials of
the nature, hazards and care of
his disease. The use of pills to
replace injected insulin is still
under investigation. They are in
effective , and even dangerous
when so employed in diabetic
children and most young adults.
They control the blood sugar
reasonbly well in certain older
patients with mild diabetes, but
the mechanism by which they
act is unknown and the possi
bility of long-term toxic effects
has not been excluded.
7. What progress has been made
in curbing it?
Since diabetes is a disorder
principally of middle and later
life, it has naturally become
more prevalent with the in
creasing average age and total
nvmber of our population. It
seems unlikely that this trend
will be reversed in the near
future.
8. Can it ever be conquered
completely?
Probably nothing is impos
sible, but it is doubtful that the
disease will ever be completely
eradicated. .
