Syro-Egypt Union Will Make Nasser
Among World's Most Absolute Rulers
By WILBUR G. LANDREY
United Press Correspondent
Cairo (ffl Gamel Abdel
Nasser will emerge as one of
the most legally absolute
rulers in the world as presi
dent of the new United Arab
Republic of Egypt and Syria.
Nasser has described the
new union as a "democratic
republic." But as its president,
he will appoint not only the
cabinet and executive coun
cils for the Egyptian and
Syrian regions but all mem
bers of the new National As
sembly. Not even in Russia does
one man have legal power to
appoint the entire Legisla
ture. .
Only time will tell, of
course, how this absolute
power will work out in prac
tice. A plebiscite in both coun
tries this month will approve
the merger. Yemen is discuss
ing the possibility of joining
the union, and Syrian Presi
dent Shukri El Kuwatly Sun
day invited Lebanon to come
in also, either "in complete
unity or on a federal basis."
Feelers have gone out to
other Arab nations.
Nasser Only Candidate
The plebiscite also will
make the 40-year-old Nasser
president of the union. He is
the only candidate.
The big question in the
Middle East is why Egypt
and Syria have pushed ahead
so fast toward the merger in
the past month.
A major factor, according
to both Western and Arab
diplomatic sources, was the
fear the Communists would
take over in Syria. This also
What Is The Law?
This eolumn is prepared as a public service by the
College of Law. Willamette University, Salem, to
explain basie legal principles, not to provide legal
advice. The reader is cautioned not to apply these cases
to his own problems without an attorney's advice, for
differing facts may change the outcome.
Business Is Complicated
Look Before Leaping
Bill thought it was the
chance of a lifetime. Frank
and Tom, two local business
men, let him In on a terrific
deal. "You won't have to put
up a cent," they told him. "You
just manage things. But you'll
be co-owner, the same as we
are. We'll divide the profits
equally." Bill agreed and
started to work. But after
some months things weren't
going too well. Frank and
Tom made several unwise de
cisions and the business fail
ed. Creditors demanded that
Bill help pay the firm's bills.
Bill protested, "I just worked
here why should I be held
responsible?"
"Because you're a partner,"
they replied, "whether you
know it or not, or whether
you had any agreement or
formal understanding or not.
And so you're personally re
sponsible for the- debts, the
same as Frank and Tom.
Bill was flabbergasted. He
thought a partnership requir
ed legal papers and a definite
understanding. It does not.
The law only requires that
two or more people associate
together to carry on, as co-
owners, a business for profit
Anyone going into a commer
cial venture with someone,
should therefore ask himself,
"Just what am I getting into?
Am I an independent con
tractor, an employee, an em
ployer, a partner, or agent?
If doubt exists, he should find
out from his lawyer by giv
ing him all the facts.
Partnership or Corporation?
Anyone in business for him
self makes all the profits or
stands all the loss. The ad
vantage of a partnership is
that others help carry the load
and provide greater resources
of energy, imagination, capital
and credit. But there are
drawbacks, too. All general
partners are liable for the
firm's debts. After exhaust
ing partnership property,
creditors may collect from the
personal assets of any such
partner.
Partnership drawbacks can
be eliminated by forming a
corporation, the business can
be operated in much the same
way and individuals are pro
tected against personal lia
bility. If the corporation fails,
Referendum Sought
On Parking Area

against the city council's plan

helps explain the wide powers
given Nasser, who has out
lawed the Communist party in
Egypt.
At first only the ministries
of foreign affairs and defense
will be totally merged. Archi
tects of the merger hope the
other ministries can be
merged by one, turning the
present national executive
councils into local administra
tive organs.
How the merger came about
so quickly still is a partial
mystery. The turning point,
according to diplomatic
sources, was a change of view
within the Syrian army.
Maj. Gen. Afif Bizri, the
Syrian chief of staff who was
believed to' be pro-Soviet,
suddenly flew to Cairo last
month with officers from var
ious army factions, the diplo
matic sources said. They left
behind a notice to the Syrian
government that they were
going to work out plans for
unity.
The Syrian cabinet met in
long sessions. Four days later
Foreign Minister Salah Al
Bitar, a member of the Baath
Socialist Party which long
favored federal union with
Egypt, flew here also to push
for immediate and complete
unity.
Syrians Feared Communists
Whatever the army's rea
sons, the Syrian parties were
believed afraid of the Commu
nists' growing power. They
said they were convinced that
only Nasser could stop the
Reds.
The sources said Nasser
imposed the conditions that
the army be taken out of
politics and that all political
owners can lose all of their
investment, but their home,
car, and other property will
be safe from the corporation's
creditors. However, corpora
tions have drawbacks, too.
For one thing, taxes are high
er. This may be a severe bur
den on a young company just
getting started.
A business of one's own is
often satisfying and reward
ing. However, it can be risky,
too. There are many legal
points, designed for protec
tion, which can prove booby
traps for the unwary. Some
laws are complex and hard to
understand. Therefore, any
one going out for himself
should discuss the entire plan
with his lawyer.
Ministers Invited
To Send Off Rally
Los Angeles (IP) Some
500 ministers have been in
vited to a send-off rally for
four men who declare they
will try to stop nuclear tests
in the Pacific by sailing their
30-foot ketch into the test
area.
The four members of the
non-violent action against nu
clear weapons organization,
headquartered in Philadelph
ia, Pa., plan to sail from here
today, in the ketch, named
the Golden Rule.
They said the Golden Rule
would establish a sea-going
picket line around the Eni-
wetok atoll where another
series of U. S. nuclear tests
were scheduled for April.
The men called the South
ern California ministers to
meet them at the boat Sun
day to discuss the tests.
The four are Albert S. Big
elow, 51, Cos Cob, Conn.;
William Huntington, 51, St.
James, Long Island, N.Y.;
George Willoughby, 43, Black
wood Terrace, N.J., and Dav
id Gale, 25, Minnesota.
Charges Denied

neutralize both the Commu

of the Arab world. The other

Senate Democrats
Jump on Forecast
Of 5 Million Jobless
Washington (IP) Senate
Democrats today seized on an
administration forecast of a
possible five million unem
ployed this month to intensi
fy demands for government
action to deal with the econ
omic slump.
Proposals ranged from an
immediate step-up of defense
work, road-building and oth
er public works to a call for
income tax cuts by Sen. Paul
H. Douglas (D-Ill.).
Commerce Secretary S i n
clair Weeks, Sunday, said the
jobless total rose to 4,500,000
in January and "I wouldn't
be surprised if we do" have
five million out of work in
February.
Five million unemployed
would be the highest since
1941 when the jobless total
went to 5,500,000.
Predicts Upturn
Weeks predicted the jobless
figure will begin to decline
next month and the business
slump will end by May or
June.
Sen. Mike Mansfield (D-
Mont.), the assistant Senate
Democratic leader, told the
United Press Week's state
ments indicated the situation
"is perhaps more drastic than
even the most pessimistic
have led us to believe."
"My hope is that the ad
ministration, in view of this
statement by one of its major
spokesmen, will immediately
begin considering ways and
means by which proposals by
Nepal Expedition Planned

Katmandu, Nepal (IP) An
expedition sponsored by Tex

plans to find the legendary
"Abominable Snowman" of
the Himalayas in efforts to
beat a Russian search party.
The expedition's advance
party got here Friday night.
The trek into the rugged
mountains of Eastern Nepal
will start Wednesday.
W. M. (Gerald) Russell,
leader of the expedition, was
excited about the prospect of
the search.
"We must hurry up because
the Russians are t sending out
expeditions on a similar er
rand in the Pamirs," he said.
It was in the Pamir moun
tains of Soviet Central Asia,
an extension of the Hima
layas that a Russian scientist
reported seeing the snowman
twice last summer.
Russell said his five man
team will start Wednesday
from Diratnagar to track the

cribed as a hairy giant, half-

shock." He referred to pro
posals last week by Sen. Al

Sen. John F. Kennedy (D

"It will do us little good
to emphasize and build up
our defense posture if at the
same time we allow our do
mestic economy to become
weaker," Mansfield said. "The
question is just as much spuds
as Sputniks."
Mansfield said Democrats
will give the administration
a chance to take the lead in
measures to cope with the ec
onomic downturn, but added,
"we ought to be ready" to act
if the government does not.
"The situation cannot be
allowed to drift downstream,"
he said. "If it continues long
enough it might have a snow
ball effect."
Douglas, a former econom
ics professor and member of
the tax-writing Senate Fin
ance committee, came out for
a tax cut for lower and mid
dle income brackets and also
excise tax reductions on trans
portation and consumer goods.
He told the United Press this
would stimulate consumption
and build up consumer de
mand and jobs. He declined
to give details of his tax cut
plan pending its presentation
to the Senate this week.
