New York, N. Y. The
paring for this trip was to bring a raincoat and an umbrella
In the past month both of them have been used more than
ever before in their existence.
Yesterday it drizzled all day, sultry and on the warmish
side, which was hard on the
cabs. In fact in spite of the
according to one of the drivers,
thanks to the weather-man.
However, don't take a taxi in the rain, or try to get one
from 4:30 to 6:30 in the afternoon if you want to get any
where in a reasonable time. The main streets are packed curb
to curb with cars, taxis, busses and what have you, going
north. It is OK going south during that time for the simple
reason that few people travel in that direction between
4:30 p.m. and theatre time.
We have heard of people
Washington, but never in Rockefeller Center in N. Y. How
ever, the latter would be easy to do, for it has more escala
tors, stairs, stores, offices, etc., etc., and fewer exits to the
street, than any other building in creation. It is a city in itself,
and one can find anything in it but the SP ticket office and
a blacksmith shop. As in San Francisco the "SP" has closed
its uptown offices that used to be in Rockefeller Center, and
opened them far down on Broadway near the battery, which
is just about as convenient for patrons as if the S.P. office
in Medford were moved to Prospect. But it saves a lot of
money and it does mean the expenditure of more money
and time forthose who want or have to ride on it.
We have often commented in the past upon the complete
disregard of red-lights by N.Y. pedestrians. Because all cross
streets are one-way there is only one way to watch from
west-to-east, or east-to-west. As a result when the one-way
traffic has passed and the coast is clear from that direction
pedestrians for a long time have crossed against the red
light, and according to reports there have been few accidents
as a result. But at long last the city has decided the increase
in this practice is dangerous, so on July 1st the announcement
is made the law will be enforced. We wonder by whom? We
haven't seen a policeman or a traffic-cop since we arrived
until yesterday when there were a big squad of the "finest"
on foot and horseback to keep order in the street demon
strations by one or two hundred Hungarians before the So
viet UN headquarters only two blocks from our hotel.
This demonstration consisted largely of singing songs,
displaying banners calling the Russians "murderers" and
shaking fists at the windows. The police kept the demonstrat
ors from the front entrance so they had to march around the
side on 68th street.. There was no doubt about the anger
of the crowd, but there is some doubt that the hard-boiled
Muscovites within were bothered by it. The exciting cause,
of course, was the hanging of the Hungarian rebels including
Nagy and Maleter an act which practically the entire free
world has scathingly condemned. ,
It has often been said differences of opinion is what makes
"hoss races." It also makes boat-races, baseball-games and
other spectator sports for few would attend such contests
if everyone agreed as to the final result.
Yesterday the annual college regatta was held at Rochest
er,. N. Y., and Pennsylvania was the big favorite. Penn came
in sixth and once more Cornell won a clean sweep. Cornell
was supposed to be "out of it."
Also yesterday the Detroit Tigers, for the 7th consecutive
time beat the Yankees, and with a shut-out, 1-0. That puts
the Tigers in second place when at the start of the season
it couldn't beat a carpet.
There isn't a dull moment in New York if you have time
to look for it. Before the Hungarian demonstration two
blocks away, there was another demonstration just across
the street before the Israel U.N. embassy. A small. group of
all ages and both sexes led by a small band serenaded the
front door with songs and folk-dances. Then a small canopy
was raised and what looked, from our window, like a rabbi
came out and some sort of volume was given to him, while
the band played a solemn tune and six women executed a
ritualistic dance. It was a colorful and unusual preformance
but we could find no mention of it in the newspapers.
Later: There was a second demonstration against the
Russians yesterday at the corner of 68th and Park. It was
more violent than the first one, a rock was thrown through
one of the building's windows, and seven of the 100 N.Y.
policemen were hurt none seriously. Members of the Rus
sian UN delegation denied they threw anything at the crowd
as charged, and .dismissed the demonstration as' that of a few
American "hooligans and bandits." The demonstrators, made
up largely of young people, called themselves "Hungarian
patriots." Six of them were arrested and taken to night
court. The judge found them guilty of disorderly conduct
but suspended sentences, saying the demonstration against
the hanging of ex-Premier Nagy was justified but breaking
the law wasn't. R.W.R.
Editorial Comment
THE DISORGANIZED
CAMPER
Organized 'camping, an
nounces a news release from
the American Camping asso
ciation, is "a sustained cre
ative, educational and recrea
tional experience under the
supervision of trained leader
ship." The association, which is
made up of people who run
carefully - planned summer
camps for kids, obviously
isn't talking about the kind of
camping that goes on around
here when whole families
pile into the car and head for
a weekend at Mosquito Lake.
This family type of camp
ing is strictly disorganized.
The people who indulge in it
have no more thought of ed
ucation than they do of trying
to keep clean.
No Whistles
Disorganized camping i s
growing every year. It needs
no scoutmaster or YMCA sec
retary with a whistle. There
are no counselors, and the bu
gle fails to blow at 6:30 a.m.
Children are tolerated, but
any creative or educational
experience they get out of
the occasion is altogether ac
cidental. This is nice for the
children, who don't have to
trouble their minds about na
ture lore and leather craft,
and it's also nice for their
parents.
Father spends about half an
hour looking busy at the start
of a normal weekend camp
ing trip. He drags the supplies
out of the cat and begins his
task of putting a quart or two
of beer in the lake to cool.
While the rest of the family
stands around trying to look
impressed, he erects a shaky
looking umbrella tent and
strings a hammock between
two convenient trees. Then he
stretches himself out in the
hammock after retrieving his
only smart thing we did in pre
shoppers but great for the taxi
recession the taxi business has,
been the best in recent history
being lost in the Pentagon in
not-quite-cool beer from the
lake. His work is finished,
and from here until the week
end is over his only function
is to grow whiskers and get
in the way.
Mother Does The Work
It's mother who does most
of the work on the camping
trip, but she doesn't seem to
mind. She finds it a pleasant
change to be able to cook
beans in the can they came in
instead of dirtying up a lot
of pans. If the kids get dirty,
she doesn't have to worry
about the neighbors being
critical. Probably there aren't
any neighbors. And if there
are, their kids are dirty too.
Kids are expected to get dirty
on a camping trip.
You can buy a lot of things
to take along on a camping
trip, but-you really don't need
much.
The grocery supply, for in
stance, is austere. Campers
thrive on a diet of raisins,
soda pop, Hershey bars,
canned beans, frankfurters,
peanuts and roasted marsh
mallows. Camping gourmets
add pancake mix,, hamburger
and an egg or two to this basic
menu.
Dog Is Handy
Along with the groceries,
the tent and the hammock, it's
a good idea to have a few
sleeping bags, some mosquito
lotion, a box of matches, a
can opener, a deck of cards
and a cake of soap. A dog is
handy for disposing of table
scraps. Campers who don't
mind being burdened with
luggage sometimes 'add such
extras as toothbrushes, pa
jamas, combs, spare clothing
and folding chairs. A few rad
icals even take razors on
camping trips.
So here we are at : Lake
Mosquito, glorying in our lack
cf organization. While father

London Airport -. An air

after dawn, is not a cheerful

ment will take

probably, a Saudi Arabian
flight-standby list.
Just being in airports in
fluences "the judgment, and
these words are undeniably
written in a London Airport,
with the memory of the armed
convoy that took the passen
gers to the plane in Beirut
still clearly and recently in
mind. All. the same, it seems
about time to say,. in plain
words, that American foreign
policy is on the naked , brink
of a really major disaster.
Judging by the very small
quantity of news that reaches
Beirut, the American . public
has been largely kept in ignor
ance of the acute dangers of
the Lebanese crisis. Yet the
situation has reached a stage
which virtually assures a dis
aster of some sort.. There is
still a little room for choice
between different kinds of dis
aster; but there is hardly a
single ray of hope.
.
THE most- likely kind of dis
aster is a landing of Amer
ican Marines and British par
atroopers in Lebanon, by in
vitation of the government of
President Chamoun , to pro
tect Lebanese independence
from the attack that has been
so ably organized by Egypt's
Gamal Abdel Nasser.
Make no mistake about it;
this prospect of an Anglo
American landing in Lebanon
is no reporter's nightmare, but
a hard, immediate possibility.
When the fighting in Leba
non started, the British and
American governments sol
emnly promised the Lebanese
government that they would
land troops if requested to do
so, providing certain, condi
tions were met. These condi
tions principally the prior
Lebanese appeal to the. U.N.
now have been met in full.
The Anglo-American com
mitment to the Lebanese gov
ernment has not been altered
or diluted in any way, either,
by the U.N. intervention in
the Lebanese fighting. Im
mediately after the U.N. Se
curity Council voted to send
observers, the U. S. Ambassa
dor to Beirut, Robert McClin
tock, gave the most specific
renewed assurances to Presi
dent Chamoun. The U. N. res
olution, he declared, in no
way affected the validity of
the Anglo-American commit
ment. The troops were still
ready fo land when requested,
he said.
AU. N. solution and a local
Lebanese solution of the
crisis in Lebanon are equally
difficult to imagine. Yet Pres
ident Chamoun is determined
not to surrender. Hence it is
very easy to imagine the mo
ment when President Cha
moun will ask Washington
and London to land the Ma
rines and paratroopers now in
readiness in the Mediterran
ean. It is reasonable to say that
such a landing will bea disas
ter, mainly because Gamal
Abdel Nasser has skillfully
given his attack on Lebanese
independence , the outward
semblance of a' civil , war.

By Joseph Alsop
There will be local support
for a landing in Lebanon, but
there is no use pretending,
either, that this kind of Anglo
American use of force will be
anything but as a nasty busi
ness, which may result in a
long entanglement.
The question remains
whether this kind of disaster
is or is not preferable to the
other kind of disaster which
also threatens in Lebanon.
The American and British
representatives on the spot,
with their attention concen
trated on the Lebanese scene,
mainly see 'the arguments
against a landing. They have
labored, perhaps too success-;
fully, to delay the Lebanese
government's call for a land
ing. They have been allowed
to do this, no doubt, because
of the goose-fleshy and Mi
cawberish state of mind of the
Washington and London policy-makers.-
BUT the Washington and
London policy-makers gave
their original commitment to
President Chamoun because
they thought a military land
ing in Lebanon would be
much less disastrous than the
loss of all the Middle East.
Total, final Western defeat
throughout the Middle East is
the other disaster which now
threatens. That is what will
almost surely happen if Ga
mal Abdel Nasser is allowed
to gain another striking vic
tory in little Lebanon, with
or without the help of U. N.
Secretary Dag Hammarskjold.
In short, this is a situation
like the situation that con
fronts the crew tending an
atomic reactor, when the re
actor begins to get out of
hand. If immediately control
measures are taken, a lot of
people will get badly burned.
But if the chain reaction is al
lowed to continue, the whole
show will blow up. That is
what we have come to in the
Middle East, 19 months after
Suez.

THE SHERMAN ADAMS
AFFAIR
The press conference last
week which followed the ex
plosion about Sherman Adams
must have
been as un
pleasant an experience
as Mr. Eisen
hower has
passed through
in his charmed
and lucky ca
reer. He . was
Walter Lippmann TO a painful
dilemma,
to abandon a friend on whom
he depends, or to abandon the
standard of public behavior
with which he has identified
himself. What he did was to
ask the country to let him
evade the issue, to let him
keep Sherman Adams and
also his reputation as acham
pion of the highest public
virtue.
His reaction, which is very
human, has been to hope that
by making a personal declara
tion of his faith in, of - his
liking for, of his need of, Gov.
Adams, the country would
overlook the whole unpleas
ant affair. But he did not
succeed. The damnable hotel
bills -would not go away and
disappear, and there is every
indication that the clamor for
the resignation of Gov. Adams
is rising, and may become ir
resistible. THE horrid dilemma became
all to evident in the press
conference when Mr. James
Reston asked the President
the crucial question. Did. the
rule he is applying to Gov.
Adams apply also to all other
Federal . officials? Irt other
words, was it now the rule
that they too could accept
gifts from persons who had
dealings with agencies of the
government agencies over
which the officials could, even
if they did not and would not,
exercise influence? Was it a
bribe if they exercised influ
ence and was it only a friend
ly gift if they did not exercise
influence?
The President's problem is
now to save Sherman Adams
without making a shambles of
his standards of public propri
ety and public virtue. As of
now, Mr. Eisenhower has
hoped to solve the problem by
reaffirming his moral prin
ciples, by denying that Gov.
Adams has seriously violated
these principles, and by plead
ing for compassion. Thus he
laid down the stern rule that
"I expect the highest possible
standard not only of conduct
but of appearance of conduct."
Then to justify his retaining
Gov. Adams, despite the bad
appearance of the hotel bills,
he made what was in effect a
personal plea on his own be
half, that the country show
Grandview. Some opposition
to the project has arisen. As
an. indication to the city coun
cil that we definitely do want
the sewer system, will you
please make a special effort
to be : present at this impor
tant hearing? Thank you.

Lebanon asks the UN to
stop the aid which is going
from Syria to the rebels who
are trying to overthrow the
pro-Western government of
President Camille Chamoun
and Premier Sami Solh.
In an extremity, Lebanon is
prepared to ask the United
States to give it military as
sistance. Secretary of, State John
f orebearance because as Presi
dent he has so great a need of
Gov. Adams.
.'
THE conduct of Sherman
Adams remains a mystery
which no one has explained.
But the key to the President's
reaction to Adams' conduct is
almost certainly his personal
dependence upon him in con
ducting his office. This de
pendence is unprecedented, at
least in recent times. It is true
that President Wilson had his
Col. House and that Franklin
Roosevelt had his Harry Hop
kins. But neither played a role
comparable, with that of Sher
man Adams.
Thus, , Col. House did not
even live in Washington. He
kept in toueh with the Presi
dent by letter, telephone, and
periodic visits to the White
House, and while his influ
ence was very considerable,
his official role, apart from a
certain amount of Texas poli
tics, was that of a confidential
diplomatic agent. Harry Hop
kins did have an office in the
White House, and for a time
a bedroom too. But while he
intervened in a great variety
of things, he was never the
man who administered the
Presidency. '
Many things have combined
to give Gov. Adams his unique
position. The President's
duties have multiplied enor
mously, and Gen. Eisenhower,
who had had no political edu
cation or training, had to have
the decisions, which as Presi
dent he must make, reduced
in number and greatly simpli
fied. This was the task of his
Chief of Staff. This need has
become all the - greater be
cause of the President's long
absences from Washington,
his illnesses, and his need to
economize his energy. 1
rpHE idea of dismissing Sher-
man Adams must seem to
Mr. Eisenhower like an appal
ling disruption of his personal
life. No doubt, other men can
be found, who are as able and
efficient. But there can be
none who knows a fraction of
what Sherman Adams knows
about how to serve and to
handle Mr. Eisenhower him
self. The President is used to
Sherman Adams and it might
be hard for him to get used to
someone else.
Yet there is no way around
his dilemma. He must choose
one horn or the other, and
there is every reason to be
lieve that he will have to
reconcile himself to the idea
of letting Sherman Adams go.

The "house" I live in is

It's been in use a long, long while; it s weathered
many a gale;
I'm really not surprised you think it s getting

The walls a bit transparent and looking rather

My "house" is getting shaky, but my house
isn't Me!
My few short years can't make me old. I feel Fm

Eternity lies just ahead, a life of joy and truth.
I'm going to live forever, there; life will go on

You tell me I am getting old? You just don t j

The dweller in my little "house" is young and

Just starting on a life to last throughout eternal

Foster Dulles has pledged that
this aid will be given, if nec
essary, including troops.
Soviet Russia is enraged at
the idea of any UN or United
States intervention, which it
calls interference with inter
nal Arab affairs.
Redi Might Aid Rebalt
Officially controlled Mos
cow newspapers have hinted
darkly that Russia might send
"volunteers" to aid the reb
els, Hammarskjold returned to
New York today from a
peace-making visit to Leba
non and to Egypt, where he
talked to United Arab Repub
lic President Gamel Abdel
Nasser.
There seems to be a possi
bility that Hammarskjold haa
obtained a promise from Nas
ser to see that the, aid reach
ing the rebels is stopped.
Nasser denies that the UAR
is sending any aid. He may
not be carrying any personal
ly across the order and there
are even suggestions that the
Syrians are going farther than
he wants them to. Anyway,
the rebel movement is being
strengthened, if not entirely
kept alive, by the aid from
Syria.
The rebellion has been go
ing on for more than six
weeks.
Wants Constitution Changed
Its background is that Pres
ident Chamoun wants to
change the constitution so
that he can run for a second
six-year term. The rebels
want him to get out when his
term ends in September.
The United States, and its
allies, are all for the second
term. With Chamoun and
Premier Solh in office, Leba
non's pro-Western position is
assured.
Nasser would like to see
the rebels win. Regardless of
the aid issue, the official
Cairo radio is blaring out pro
rebel, anti-Chamoun propa
ganda day and night.
The fall of Chamoun would
take Lebanon closer to, if not
into, the grip of Nasser and
thus strengthen his hope of
making himself the master of
the Arab world.
Hammarskjold is trying to
find a ?sy to close the Lebanon-Syrian
frontier by mov
ing in a UN supervisory force.
If his proposal .reached a
vote in the UN Security Coun
cil, and Russia vetoed it, it
would be necessary to call an
emergency session of the as
sembly in which all UN
countries are represented. A
two-thirds majority would be
necessary for approval.
When he left Beirut for
New York Wednesday, Ham
niarskjold seemed quietly con
fident he will succeed. For
the moment, it is all up to
him.
