Today and Tomorrow By Walter Lippmann BOUHGUIBA AND NASSER FromTunisia, which has been celebrating the first anniversary of its national independence, one could see the crisis in Jor dan ti Walter Lippmana in an in- teristing and revealing per spective. Here, more clearly perhaps than anywhere else in the Arab world, there exists the will to work out the national future with enmity towards, in deed by accommodation with, Western Europe and the United States. Under Habib Bourguiba, and his party which is called the Neo-Destour, the Tunisian nation is turned away from the road on which Nasser is attemp ting to take all the Arab peoples. If there is an alternative to the revolutionary movement which precipitated the crisis in Jordan, it is the kind of progressive na tionalism, energetic but not fan atical, which the liberators of Tunisia represent. The critical and dramatic question is whether the future of the community of Arab peop les lies with Nasser or with men like Bourguiba, with the supernationaiists and the revo lutionaries working out of Cairo or with the nationalists and the reformers in the various coun tries. The answer 'to that ques tion depends only in some meas ure on what the United States will contribute to the develop ment of Tunisia. In much great er measure the answer depends on how far-sighted and generous is the French policy. In the final reconing the answer may be determined by what happens next door to Algeria. fT ONE GENERAL, conclusion " we can, I think, be certain. It is that foreign intervention, be it Soviet, French, British or American is secondary to the internal conflict within the Arab countries. In all of them, though in differing degree, the issue is raised by two great conflicting tendencies. The one, as exempli fied by Bourguiba, is to main tain the existing political and social order of the national lib erators, and in some degree to reform and Improve it. The other tendency, which is propelled from Cairo, is revolu tionary. It aims not only at the overthrow of the existing politi cal order, as was attempted re cently in Jordan, but also at the creation of a revolutionary im perialism which would make Nasser in Cairo the master of th Arab wdrld. In Tunisia the progressive na tionalism of Bourguiba provides a genuine and promising altern ative to the revolutionary move ment which Nasser is leading. Where there is no such alterna tive, as for example in Jordan itself, there is not much left to do except suppress the revolu tionary forces by martial law, and to sit as long as possible on the lid of the cauldron. BOTH' the Soviet .Union and the United States are invol ved in the conflict between the revolutionary forces and the es tablished order.' Our policy is to support the established order against the revolutionary move ments. Wherever we can, we encourage the existing rulers to be progressive and benevolent and to try to raise the standard of life among their people. But when the ruling classes will not be progressive and benevolent. as for example in Saudi-Arabia, we support them nevertheless because they maintain the exist- TROPICAL FISH FREELAND'S I8S Freeland Road MOVING?

They support Nas ser's revolution not because he is a communist. They support it because if Nasser succeeds, he will ruin irretrievably the Wes tern European and American po sition in the whole Middle East. It does not necessarily follow that the Soviet Union could take over what the Western nations would lose. Nasser's revolution, if he gains the momentum of success, would probably produce not a new social order but pro longed disorder and . anarchy. But from the Soviet point of view this would mean that America and Europe were no longer in a strategic position to threaten the soft under-belly of the Soviet Union. "NE OF THE questions we are " bound to ask ourselves is whether we must accept this his torical fatalism, as one of the unchangeable facts of life, this contest within the Arab com munity, with the Soviet Union on one side, with ourselves on the other. I must say that noth ing has as yet come out of Mos cow . which suggests that this grim and dangerous contest can be moderated, much less ended. The latest official Soviet state ment this week treats as aplot against Arab independence our support of King Hussein against those who would overthrow Turn, and bring Jordan under the domination of Egypt and Syria. But if nothing has come from Moscow which suggests that ne gotiations and arrangements are possible, nothing has come from the President and Mr. Dulles which suggests that they have any thought of negotiation and an accomodation which would recognize the indubitable na tional interest of Russia in the Middle East. Nothing has come from them which suggests con they have anything more con structive in mind than a policy of unconditional surrender. I think well of what I under stand we have done in Jordan. But martial law under a little king is not a durable order of of things. We must look ahead, and our position for the long pull will be stronger, so it seems to me, if we make it known that the issues in the Middle East about the canal, the oil, the bases are not irreconcilable, and that we do not exclude ab solutely and forever an accomo dation with the national interest of Russia.

The stripping usually takes place on an island off the Riv iera resort. And the monks who own the island have protested. 'Yesterday was picnic day at the annual movie festival, the day when photographers get the chance to stock up on cheese cake pictures for the rest of the year. Starlets and cameramen usually sail out to the island of Lerins, off Cannes, to picnic and photograph. British starlet Simone Silva started the stripping boom three years ago by posing naked 1 the waist with an embarrased Robert Mitchem. The tradition has been carried on ever since by various unknowns seeking to break into movies. Organizers revealed that the monk's who own Lerins have de manded that such goings on be stopped or they will ban the festival cavalcade from the is land.

Ask your bar ber what his opinion. Any way, in one section of the coun try all the barbers agreed to stay open Saturday and close on Monday. Then one barber began to think the situation over. He figured that Saturday was a bad day for his business because so many men went away for the week end. So he decided to close Saturday and keep open Mon day. And so what? Well, sir, he is now doing three times the business on Monday that he pre viously did on Saturday. Presidents Who do you think have been the four greatest Presidents of the United States? In what or der? A poll on this query among a number of educators in this country had the following re sult: 1. Abraham Lincoln. 2. George Washington. 3. Franklin D. Roosevelt. 4. Woodrow Wil son., I can't go' along with that rating. I would say the first three were: 1. George Washing ton. 2. Thomas Jefferson. 3. Abraham Lincoln. I can't decide on the fourth.

Asking Queries from clients. Q. Saw it reported that two San Fran cisco 'couples swapped matri monial mates. Has there ever been a play or film with a wife and husband trading back ground? A. The successful musi cal show titled "So Long Letty" by Earl Carroll had such a plot. The featured players were Char lotte Greenwood, May Boley, Hal Skelly and Walter Catlett. That play had a San Francisco background. Perhaps matrimon ial mate trading is an old San Franciscan custom. ' Getting Fat Not all bread is fattening. You can eat plenty of pumpernickel bread and it won't make you fat. That is, if you don't put too much butter on it. Take baked potatoes. They are not fattening either. It is the excessive amount of butter people put on baked potatoes . that increases their weight.

What was the title of the first film In which Garbo talked? Advertising slo gan for it was "Garbo Talks!"

Sunday, May 5. 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE Council Discusses Function of Meters Yreka the function of par king meters was a major discus sion topic last week at a meet ing of the Yreka city council. Part of the council contended meters are intended to alleviate parking problems, while the re mainder of the council contend ed they should be a source of revenue for the city. Mayor Jim Cummings said a recent survey showed "over whelming requests" for more policing of the city's Broadway parking lot where meters are in operation. The council agreed When Sgt. James Maguire .joined the Naval aviation camp at Annapolis, Md., as a mechan ic on Nov. 6, 1912, he became the first enlisted man in Marine Corps aviation. that, for the present at least, a closer check should be kept on meter use there.
