o o o o O Too Early ?o Forsee Results of Baghdad Coup; Essential for Western Cooperation Editor's note: Gen. John B. Glubb was a power in the Middle East up to the moment of his dismissal by King Hussein of Jordan 27 moaths ao, and knows the Middle East perhaps as well as any man on earth. He it an almost legendary figure who helped found Haths jnite Trans-Jordan and welded Jor dan's Arab Legion into a crack fighting force. Br GEN. JOHN B. GLUBB Written for UPI London (Ugi) It is still too early to foresee the pos sible results from the )up d'et&t in Baghdad. Insofar as can be ascer tained, however, it appears to bear a emarkable simi larity to the Egyptian upheav al which, six years ago, re sulted in the dethronement of King Farouk ai the ulti mate consolidation of Colonel Nasser's military revolution ary government. . Where the procedure has been siftilar, the results of the coup d'etat, should it ul timately prove successful, may well resemble those which took place in Egypt. There does not appear to have ern powers to work together, to think clearly and to avoid the errors which they com mitted in Egypt. All the vio lent disturbances in the Arab countries since the second world war have taken their origin from the same cause: The anxiety of the younger generation to feel themselves equal to the peoples of the West. The suspicion that west ern nations consider them in ferior has haunted many Arabs since the termination of the first world war. The rapid extension of edu cation and the ease and speed of air travel have led to great er familiarity between the Arabs and the West, and clos er knowledge of the western nations has not always in spired the Arabs with greater respect. Desire lo Equal Thus, the 'desire to emulate the West has been reinforced by the impression that the peoples of Britain and Ameri ca are not so wonderful as been originally any logical: the Araps had formerly im- or inevitabfe reason why the revolutionary government of Egypt should have become hostile to the West, nor is there any reason why Britain and America should be hostile Arab nationalism as a whole. AH Have Single Origin It is essential for the west- agined. Russian, and subsequently Arab nationalist propaganda, has done much to aggravate these tendencies. The United States and Bri tain have been represented as grasping, reactionary and ty rannical, and desirous of ob structing and opposing pro gress and modernization ini the Arab countries. I Such charges, constantly re iterated and rarely if ever contradicted, have been ac cepted by many Arabs as axio matic and no longer open to argument. Another grudge borne by the majority of Arabs against the West results from the com mon conviction that the Unit ed States, France and Britain were the creators and sup porters of Israel. Course Is Obvious Many in fact allege that the western powers assisted in the formation of Israel, not from a philanthropic desire to assist persecuted Jews, but as part of a deliberate plot to weaken and destroy the Arab renaissance. Neither of these charges is true. The American and Brit ish peoples do not desire to dominate the Arabs, or to hamper their development, nor do they seek to use Israel as a tool with which to weak en them. The course to be followed by the western powers is therefore obvious. Firstly, it is essential for the United States and Britain to SDeak everywhere with one voice. Secondly, they should realize that the problem is largely psychological and many Arabs believe the West Humphrey Plans to Lead Fight Against- Approval of Farm Bill "Washington (UPI) Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (R Minn.) planned today to lead a drive to head off Senate approval Of an administration- backed farm bill providing lower price supports and re laxed planting controls for corn, cotton and rice. . Prospects for opening de bate on thg measure today were clouded by chances the Join Engi Teamster Pickets lineerj At Several Jobs Portland (UPI) Pickets from the Teamsters Union w e marching alongside those of the striking Operat ing Engineers Union today in a walkout that has crippled heavy construction in Oregon and southwest Washington. Ttemsters Union pickets were reported at the Swift dam near Cougar, Wash., and - at several Portland projects. A union spokesman said the union had been in dispute with Associated General Con tractors for some time but that "we will probably be in a meeting with the AGC in the near future." Meeting Scheduled A federal mediator was to meet again today with the AGC and Operating Engi neers. The two sides met Mon day. Some 16,000 to 20,000 work ers are affected by the strike which started in southwest Washington last Wednesday and spread into Oregon Thurs day. A spokesman for AGC said it had offered Teamsters and Operating Engineers a 25-cent hourly wage hike retroactive to June 1, with 5 per cent in crease on Jan. 1, 1960. The AGC said Operating Engi neers want an $8.76 a day pay hike over an 18-month period period in a typical job classifi cation. Hiring procedures also are at issue in the strike. Britain Increases Import of Apples Washington (UPI) Sen. Richard L. Neuberger (D. Ore.) said today the State de partment had informed him Great Britain has announced a new apple import quota from North America of 75, 000 long tons. Nuberger said this would enable Pacific Northwest ap ple growers to compete for a shaft of 99 to $10 million in apple Exports to Great Brit ain, ab9ut two nd one-half timeQ the previous quota. Army tetretary Hastn To Capital j Columbus, Ohio (UPI) ArmJ Secretary Wilber M. Brucker left an annual reun ion of the 42nd Rainbow In f antry Divisiqp abruptly Mon day night to return to Wash ington. Brucker had planned to re main until today but he told fellow veterns t the reunion he had to "leave in hurry" following qg.ll from Wash ington. "I can't iy anything about the Mideast and I'm not going to" lAfgid Ifcfor departure. Senate might have to turn its attention to the Mideast crisis. xiumpnrey s aides, mean while, claimed growing sup port for his demand for at least four major changes in the measure. Unless the changes are made, it was indi cated, Humphrey and "many" other senators will oppose the bill even if it means voting against southern Democrats who support the measure. Areas of Difference Key features of the bill and Humphrey's proposed changes included: For cotton and rice, the bill provides that beginning in 1961 the "fair earning power" parity price would be abandoned as the basis of price support. In its place, the bill substitutes props based on 9f per cent of the average market price for three preced ing years. Humphrey would kill the "market price" plan and retain the parity concept, probably with some cut be low the present price support Strike Threatens Rocket Operation Cape Canaveral, Fla. (UPI) Maintenance workers at the Air Force Missile Test Center refused to report to their jobs early today in a wildcat strike that threatened to cripple rocket testing operations. A spokesman for the Trans port Workers Union of Amer ica said the strike could "ser iously affect the work" at the cape. But he denied that the union ordered the strike. , E. M. Mitchell of Miami, TWU representative for the Brevard County area, said the workers voted Monday night to "take matters into their own hands" because of "un safe working conditions and the company's failure to, live up to a contract agreement." Pan American Airways, which has a contract with the Air Force to maintain and op erate the test center, would neither confirm nor deny that there was a walkout, and the Air Force declined to com ment. "I don't think it would in terrupt operations, because we have an ample number of su pervisory people," a PAA spokesman said. floor of 75 per cent of parity. For corn, the bill abol ishes planting controls begin ning in 1959 and puts price support on the 90 per cent of market price basis. Hum phrey proposed an additional section under which growers who voluntarily cut acreage of corn and other feed grains 20 per cent would get price supports at 85 per cent of parity. Dairy Price Supports The bill includes no dairy provisions. Humphrey will fight to get, at the minimum, a provision raising 1959 sup ports from the present $3.06 per hundredweight for milk used in making butter to a rate closer to last year's $3.25 level. The measure freezes rice acreage at this year's level of 1,600,000 acres. It would allow the national cotton planting allotment to drop to 16 million acres next year, but it would provide an allot ment "bonus" of 40 per cent in extra acreage for growers willing to accept lower sup ports in 1959 and 1960. To guard soybean growers against the danger that com peting cottonseed oil produced on the "bonus" acreage would lower all vegetable oil prices, Humphrey proposed authority for Agriculture Secretary Ezra Taft Benson to buy the extra oil and give it away overseas. Klondike Kate's Ashes Unscattered Saiem (UPI) The ashes of Klondike Kate, the dance hall girl of Alaskan gold rush days, who died in February of 1957, were never scattered as requested in her last will. Kate, who died at Sweet Home, had requested that her ashes be spread over moun tains in the Sisters area. Her late husband, William Van Duren, died at his home in Sweet Home before provi sions of the will could be car ried out. The ashes are now held at a Salem mortuary.

Such ideas cannot be eradi cated by the threat of force, but only by the dissemination of truer ideas and ideals. The West must make it plain that their only object is to foster the economic rela tions between the Arabs and the West in a manner profit able to both. Moreover, far from oppos ing Arab nationalism or pro gress, they must show they are ready to offer them all all the assistance in their power. Finally, the Arabs must be reassured that the West will not tolerate further Israeli ex pansion. These measures, if adopted, will not effect an immediate transformation in the situa tion. The change will inevitably be gradual, but there is no other course. Only by convincing the Arabs of the good intentions of the West towards them can the situation be permanently restored. Milton, Panama j President Talk - Panama City (UPI) Dr. Milton S. Eisenhower and President Ernesto de la Guar dia of Panama mixed fishing and finances on Panama Bay today. The two men and then aides began the financial dis cussions on Sunday. They also are discussing economic and social problems. Eisenhower arrived here Sunday to begin a 21-day fact finding tour of Central Amer ica as the personal represen tative of his brother, Presi dent Eisenhower. Unusual precautions were taken to avoid the possibiliity of violent demonstrations such as those which marred the Latin American tour of Vice President Richard M. Nixon this spring. Monday, some 35 high school students picketed in front of the U. S. Embassy. They carried signs with such slogans as "Milton, The Canal Is Ours" and "Fifty Per Cent Canal." The latter was a ref erence that Panama should get a 50-50 split of the Ca nal's gross revenue. Mag To Review Canadian Fleet Victoria, B..
