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

Teamster Pickets

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.

Great Britain has announced
a new apple import quota
from North America of 75,

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

he had to "leave in hurry"

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.

to be hostile to Arab national
ism.
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.

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

tative of his brother, Presi

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.
