MAIL TRIBUNE Editorial Correspondence . . . Rice Mountain Lodge. Paul Smiths, N. Y., June 6 Stopped at Paul Smiths college on a lake about six miles from here. As before noted, as a college Paul Smiths is unique in many v. a;.s. It not only gives a degree in hotel management, but it runs a hotel. Its buildings are close to the lake amid the spruces and pines, and those that are not portions of the original Paul Smiths splendiferous summer resort, were built of wood by day labor employed by tne college with no assistance from arcnitects or contractors. Needless to say it is a wholesome, healthful life the students lead, all of the 300 boys, but a dozen or so girls added for looks and flavor. It is also unique in that it has a fine gym but no baseball or football team. In fact, no sports are indulged in but basketball and skiing. They are now constructing a ski-run on a nearby mountain of about a mile, and some of the skiers have qualified for the next Olympic trials. Paul Smiths college. like so many other things around here, is reminiscent of the "Gay Ninety" past. On the road to Saranac, for example, we passed a connecting 1 road marked " Easy Street" on dwellings. It seems that around half a tentury ago when Paul Smiths was the "Newport of the wilds." this is where the wait resses at the "swell" Gay Ninety hotel of 500 rooms lived most of them married. The husbands, according to legend, spent their time smoking 5-cent cigars, reading the Police Gazette, and singing barbershop harmonies. In short, they had it pretty soft and easy. So the street they lived on was christened "Easy Street" and that is what it is called today. Many tourists to this section like to have their pictures taken with the "Easy Street" marker as a background. i Up here in the wilds it has been the "wilds" to native New ! Yorkers for over 200 years only the French-Indian war and the 1 War of 1812 made any marks the Revolution and the Civil war I pretty much passed it by. On the twisting road we take to Dick j inson Centre where the three little blondes with bright blue ! eyes live there is an ' historic marker" which announces that in 'the War of 1812 on this road the colonial troops marched from Lake Champlain to Lake Ontario. j Well, having motored over it nearly every day for two weeks. I we can say "without fear of successful contradiction," that the road has been changed very little since that time. It runs from the main highway to Malone across the mountains none higher than Roxy Anne to St. Regis Falls and it is nothing but a thin frosting of "black-top" on a dirt country base. That black-top helps just as the frosting on a chocolate cake HELPS but the fact remains it is a "one way" road, open to double road traffic. When you meet a car that doesn't turn out you have to turn out practically into the ditch to avoid a smash-up. We have found to our sorrow that nine out of ten of the cars don't turn out. particularly for a modest "Drive Yourself" Chevy. However, by always slowing down and turning out when an ap proaching car is sighted, we have escaped disaster, to date. (Hit on wood here!) On this primitive trail one often sees signs too that this section of the Adirondacks revives the old Gay Ninety song "She may have seen better days." The Adirondacks HAVE seen better days. There are ruins of sawmills for example once upon a time this was a great and what was then considered inexhaustible supply of gigantic white pine (many of the trees over 200 feet high) but now, alas, al though the entire country is thickly wooded, our guess is the average height of the trees doesn't exceed 40 feet, and the great majority is just brush and seedlings. There are many abandoned railroad tracks entirely grown over and neither rails nor ties in sight the highway from here to Saranac covers a portion of the Delaware & Hudson that once ran all-Pullman night and day I trains to Boston and New York. There are also remains of iron smelters there are spots of rich iron hereabouts now but U. S. Steel with its super-mass production soon forced them to quit. So it is, except for the tourist crop, mostlv a case of from overalls back to overalls again, for the COMMERCIAL side of the picture. R.W.R. Saranac Lake. N. Y., June 7 Came over here a 30 minute drive to check certain matters concerning the "Drive Yourself" car. Meanwhile the Weather Man is overdoing it a bit. Last night he put on an hour's thunder storm not nearly as bad as the performance in New York, however and today there are leaden skies and that north wind right off the shady side of the North Pole. The Saranac river was dotted with chunks of ice reminding one of that famous painting "Washington Crossing the Delaware." (Only G.W. could have jumped across this one.) Our guess is there are more deer killed here by automobiles out of season than by guns in season. At least yesterday afternoon a boy came running up to the lodge out of breath and asked if he could use the phone, explaining that he had seen a dead doe on the highway and the law required an immediate reporting to the state police. He phoned the police, explaining the doe jumped directly in front of his car. was killed instantly, the only damage to his car being a smashed headlight. The boy seemed relieved when the police said they would pick up the carcass. "Is that all I do?" he inquired still somewhat breathless. "That's all." was the reply. No doubt the police will have a venison banquet tonight. There are fresh deer tracks around the Lodge road every day but to date we have never seen one. The explanation appears to be the deer keep working hours we don't keep. They get up around sunrise, look for salt and blueberry blossoms, retiring to the forest primeval before your correspondent has breakfast. Then in the twilight around 7 p.m. when we sit down to dinner the deer wander down to the lake for a temperance "night cap," and like Mr. Pepys "so to bed." Then is the lime to get your deer, they say, but there is a law against hunting them by car headlights. It seems deer have the same weakness to lights at night that do moths and gnats. Across the road from the lake there is a good imitation of a Louisiana bayou, small trees and bushy shrubs growing out of clear dark water with the faint trace of a brook winding between like a huge snake. It looks like wonderful fishing but the "Master-of-the-Inn" says no nothing but frogs and bullheads. Judging by the bull frogs croaking when we walked down there, an energetic fisherman with a red flannel on his hook, could get enough frogs legs in a day to supply the Waldorf for a week. According to the same reliable source however, bull frogs are avoided. They might be O.K. in one of Mark Twain's jumping contests, but they are TOO muscular in short, their legs are large, but tough. New Yorkers like theirs medium and tender. It is nice to be up here not only far from the maddening crowd but still farther from the mad rat-race known as party politics. We have received extracts, however, from the Congressional Rec ord reporting the war dance cries of the GOP leaders in the Upper House, as they enjoyed a cannabilistic feast after tying Wayne Morse to the stake for his remarks about President Eisen hower. We haven't been able to determine EXACTLY what our senior Senator said, but our guess is the substance was contained in one sentence, to-wit: "I can see no difference in principle, in Dave Beck putting his hand in the pockets of his union members, and the present ad ministration putting its hands in the pockets of the tax payers " If that is correct, then why all this hysteria and intemperate Nullification as if such a charge "in principle" were something entirely new and inexpressibly shocking? Except in the realm of semantics, this is nothing new and startling. Wayne Morse has said much the same thing many times before. We don't happen to agree with this diagnosis. We believe there is a material moral difference. Dave Beck misappropriated union funds for his personal aggrandizement and profit. We don't be lieve even Senator Morse would accuse the President of any such wrong doing, or question his high sense of honor and devotion to what HE believes best for the country. The only trouble is President Eisenhower honestly believes "what is best for General Motors IS best for the country," and a Tuesday, June II, 19S7 which there were a few modest SlB THEY'RE FIGHTlN Ut'S Professional Lobbies Given Quiet Reception To Regulation Plans Washington (CQ) Lobby ists themselves so far have given a quiet reception to the new pro posals to regulate them. The day in and day out pro fessional lobbyists representing trade groups expressed little protest about the law when sur veyed by Congressional Quarter ly. As a spokesman for the Am erican Farm Bureau Federation put it, "Congress can make the lobby law as strenuous as it wants. We have nothing to hide." But there was a much cooler attitude on the part of public relations firms who would come under the lobbying law for the first time. Publicly, they said they were still studying the bill and could not comment. Pri vately several expressed con cern and indicated they were looking hard for loopholes. 'Dodging' Discussed There is little doubt that sev eral lobbyists will try to dodge the new law if it is enacted. Al ready there is talk among law years on how to get around it. The proposed law, for example would cover lawyers who re ceived S300 to carry on direct communication with Congress to influence legislation. But, some are asking, couldn't a lawyer get around the provision by el iminating any mention of such communication in his contract with his employer? And as for such indirect lob bying as a public relations cam paign, it would be covered un der the law only if it cost S50, 000 or more and a "substantial portion" of it was "intended, designated or calculated to in fluence legislation." What, pub lic relations men ask, constitutes "substantial portion?" And wouldn't it be hard to prove that a newspaper campaign to "edu cate" the public on an issue was "intended, designated or calcu lated to influence legislation?" Reaction Told Some public comments on the proposed new regulations: Miles D. Kennedy of the Am erican Legion: "I don't see any thing to be disturbed about. There's no reason not to include indirect lobbying under the lob by law." Clarence Mitchell of the Na tional Association for the Ad vancement of Colored People: "I think the administrator of the new lobby law should set aside a period for educating the people about what is expected of them under the Act. I like the idea of having an adminis trator because under the present vague law nobody knows the right thing to do." O. R. Strackbein of the Nation-Wide Committee on Indust ry, Agriculture and Labor on Import-Export policy: "I see some extremely difficult legal ground in trying to cover indir ect lobbying." J. L. McCaskill of the National Education Association: The new law "sounds like a distinct im provement." John H. Sharon of the law firm of Clcary. Gottlieb. Friend ly and Ball: "We have been for the strongest type of lobby law j and would support the proposed bill." Some Decline Comment Spokesmen for the public re lations firms of Bozell and Jac obs. Carl Byoir and Associates, Hill and Knowlton and Newmyer Associates declined comment on the ground they had not studied the bill thoroughly enough. Sen. John L. McClellan (D Ark), now head of the special Senate committee investigating i improper activities in the labor and management fields. intr product of this belief is his indifference and lack of leadership where political NOT legal immorality is concerned, such as in the Dixon-Yates and Idaho Power company quick write-off deals. In condemning the administration in the realm of "POLITICAL immorality" that is, placing private profit above the public wel fare we agree entirely with our senior Senator, we don't agree with him as far as the Beck analogy is concerned. Here, however, we would return to the oft-quoted remark attributed to Voltaire, namely: "We disagree with what you say but would defend with our life your right to say it." R.W.R. A SOLDIER, ISN'T HE ? duced the new lobby bill May 31. He said it was unanimously endorsed by his special commit tee that investigated lobbying last year after Sen. Francis Case (R-S.D ), reported the offer of a S2.500 campaign contribution while the natural gas bill was under consideration. The idea oehind the new bill is to put more lobbying in the goldfish bowl built by the exist ing act. Only the full-time pro fessionals would have to regis ter as lobbyists before they tried to influence legislation through direct contact with Congress. Others would just tell where their money for influencing leg islation came from and how it was spent. Amount Spent The test for determining whether spending reports must be filed is the amount of money spent to influence legislation through direct communication with Congress. Any person or organization that pays out or receives S300 in a calendar quar ter for that purpose would have to list everyone who gave S100 or more to the lobby campaign and everyone who was paid S50. In addition, such indirect lobby ing as letter and telegram bar rages at Congress, and public education campaigns about a pending bill would be covered for the first time. The spending reports filed by individual lobbyists or organi zations now end up in file draw ers in the offices of the Secre tary of the Senate and Clerk of the House. Nobody is respon sible for seeing that all the re quired information is there or to warn Senators and Congress men about big pressure cam paigns. McClellan's bill would make the Comptroller General the ov erseer of these spending forms. His General Accounting office could as'c groups for more in formation on the forms filed and report those who refused to file at all, or filed falsely, to the Justice Department. He would also warn Congress about indi rect lobby campaigns. (Copyright, 1957.

Sprague is an outrageous punster. And he uses his otherwise respectable Oregon Statesman as a vehicle for these attempts at funniness. Last spring, when Dag Ham marskjold was conferring with Nasser, Mr. Sprague predicted successful talks. If skjolding doesn't work, he said, Dag can use his hammar. Now this punster asks us to be sorry for the bakers' union boys. After all, he said, they may have kneaded the dough. Eu gene Register-Guard. TO EACH HIS OWN Fort Polk, La.

Lebanese Election Latest in Series of Defeats for Nasser By CHARLES M. McCANN United Preii Correspondent Lebanon has inflicted the lat est of a series of defeats on pro Russian, anti-Western President Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt. The pro - Western, anti - Commu nist govern ment of Leba non has won 19 out of 22 seats contest ed in a nation al paruamen- rnarir siecana tary election. This follows the successful victory of King Hus sein of Jordan against the left ist elements who, with Nasser's backing, plotted to overthrow him. It follows also the meeting I in Karachi, Pakistan, which greatly strengthened the anti Communist Middle Eastern Treaty Organization the so called Baghdad Alliance that Nasser bitterly opposes. At present, Egypt and its fellow-traveller Syria are very nearly isolated in the Arab world. Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan and Saudi will have refused to fol low Nasser. The remaining coun tries of the nine-nation Arab League, Yemen, the Sudan and Libya, are giving Nasser no support. Further, the pro-Russian gov ment of Syria is meeting in creasingly strong resistance by anti-Communists in parliament. It has long been apparent that Nasser's hope of making him self the leader of the Arab countries has been shattered. King Saud of Saudi Arabia had a great deal to do with that. Saud's influence in the Arab Communications Letter to the Editor must bear the name and address of the writer although under certain circum stances the use ot a pen name or initial for publication is permis sible. The Mail Tribune reserves the right to edit all letters with an eye to clarification and conden sation Letters submitted for pub lication must not exceed 400 words Protests Graham Editorial To the Editor: I seldom feel called upon to answer an Editor ial but in the case of the editor ial comment in Friday's paper on Billy Graham I feel impelled to protest. Where editorial comment has as much place in molding public opinion and especially the opin ion of our young people as it does, I feel that it is a complete betrayal of that trust when an editorial writer makes such an attack. I respect such an opinion, even if it differs with mine, if a straightforward line of reason ing is set forth. But when Billy Graham is called a fakir, not having a sincere, honest con viction, of being a phony and a fraud, not giving a hoot about principle and only for money, then the writer admits that he has not heard or at least attend ed one of the meetings. His com ment seems to be based on a pre judice, which he also shares for Richard Nixon, not on any rea son. I do not feel that a man who has accepted responsibility to try and mold opinion should do so on prejudice alone. I happen to know of one prom inent movie star and radio sing er who was living a life of de bauchery and came under the preaching of Billy Graham. Afterward he couldn't sleep and called Billy at 3 o'clock in the morning to come and pray for him. Billy came but refused to pray unless he would promise to give up his way of life and try to live right. As a result his whole life was c h a n ged and straightened out. I also know of another man, who was on his way to join a Chicago gang, that repented and went straight be cause of the preaching of Billy Graham. Therefore I don't feel that editorial comment of this cal iber based on prejudice has any place in our local paper. Lawrence Leonard Box 722 Central Point, Ore. AEC Approves Bill To Control Power Washington v The Con gressional Atomic Energy Com mittee has approved a bill giv ing Congress greater control over the peacetime development of atomic power. Although the measure had been interpreted as a check on the power of the Atomic Energy Commission, AEC Chairman Lewis L. Strauss expressed him self as "very well satisfied" with it. The bill viould require con gressional authorization before the government plants except military reactors and small ex perimental types. In addition, the AEC would be required to get the commit tee's approval on contracts with private industry for its demon stration reactor program. The bill also would establish a review procedure for prices to be paid by the AEC for the production of atomic fuels as by-products in power plants and the waiver of use charges on nu clear materials. world certainly is equal to Nas ser's.

Outwardly, what is hap pening is the very opposite Joseph Alsno of dramatic. Calm and King Hussein now reign in Jordan. There is no out ward tension while the talks pro ceed between representatives of King Hussein's government, the local American Embassy staff, and the visiting American offi cial, responsible for the foreign aid program in the Middle East. The name of Cedric Seager can hardly be known at home be yond the narrow circle of his private friends and regular offi cial contacts. Yet this man who has been sent to Jordan to look into the matter of American aid for young King Hussein's new pro-Western regime is in fact playing an historic role. A wrong decision by Cedric Seager, or rejection by his su periors of sound recommenda tions from Seager, can quite easily lead onwards to a decisive and fatal Western defeat in the whole Middle East. A right de cision cannot be guaranteed, alas, to save either the Middle East or Jordan. But at least a right decision will be an im portant step on the long, rough road toward a safer situation in this strategically vital area. INHERE are two sets of reasons for the portentousness of the role which history, perhaps a little ironically, has suddenly conferred upon this blameless but obscure Washington bureau crat. The first set of reasons relate to Jordan's new position in the general Middle Eastern scene. Little Jordan is the real key to Iraq and Iraq is in turn the key to all those countries of the Middle East on which the strength of the West depends. Let Jordan fall into the hands of the Egyptian-led Arab ex tremists and their Communist allies, Iraq and the oil Sheikh doms of the Gulf coast and even Saudi Arabia will successively go the same way too. Jordan's internal situation con tains the second set of reasons for waiting for Cedric Seager's verdict with a certain breath lessness. As yet the fact had better be faced young King Hussein's brilliant victory over the pro-Egyptians and their Com munist allies is both temporary and precarious. A large majority of Jordan's present population is composed of Arab refugees from Israel and the people of the province of the West bank of the Jordan River that formed part of Pal estine before Israel was created. Among these naturally embit tered people, the Egyptian, Syri an and Communist agents find a warm response. If you wonder why so many are responsive, go look at the filthy shanty towns here in Amman where many Counsel With ...

The government would I have won 20 instead of 19 seats had not an independent candi date taken sufficient votes in one district to defeat Solh's man. The remaining 44 of the 66 seats in Lebanon's single-chamber parliament are to be con tested in a succession of elec tions in other parts of the coun try on the next three Sundays. There is no reason to believe that the leftists can do any bet ter than they did in the first one. thousands of refugees eke out the customary existence of this population of the living dead. THEN too, besides containing this huge potentially explo sive element, little Jordan is a poor country with an impover ished government. Even the famous Arab Legion, the essen tial support of King Hussein's throne, has always been paid for with foreign subsidies, first British and now in theory Arab subsidies. But of the legion's total annual cost of about S35, 000,000, King Hussein can now only rely upon getting the $14, 000.000 share of King Saud of Saudi Arabia. The Egyptians and Syrians are still talking smoothly about paying their promised shares. But in fact, they are Kin& Hussein's enemies. For the Arab Legion alone, therefore. Jordan has an annual deficit of over 520.000,000. In addition, if King Hussein is to be given a real chance of maintaining himself over a long period, a large-scale works pro gram is urgently needed. Jobs must be provided for the jobless in order to "draw off some of the pus of human misery," as an American official put it. For this, another $25,000,000 a year is certainly a minimum require ment. BY THE standards of the American aid program and budget, the addition is piddling not more than about S50.000,-. 000 a year of new money for Jordan. But by the standards of Jordan these figures that are now being presented to Cedric Seager add up, quite simply, to life or death. Worse still, the American gov ernment must change its ways if the money is to do any good. Arab susceptibilities are too in flamed. Arab fears of "imperial ism"' are too intense. If the usual nursery governess rules for for eign aid are insisted upon, any American money spent in Jor dan will end by doing harm rath er than good. So the money must be provided with no strings, no military aid group or teeming offices of civilian administrators. This will surely be the most un palatable part of Cedric Seager's report. Yet right here, in this un noticed negotiation concerning sums of money absolutely trifling by American treasury standards, the fate of the Middle East may perhaps be decided.
