Outdoor Recreation Survey
The outdoor recreational resources of the Un

men time, too.
The congress recently completed action on a
bill providing for such

mission who will do the
Among them, appropriately, is Sen. Richard
L. Neuberger of Oregon, one of the senate's staun
chest supporters of conservation and the values of
the outdoors.
TTHE Eugene Register-Guard, in commenting on
Neuberger's appointment by Vice President
Richard Nixon, said it showed good judgment,
and that "the senator,
terested in conservation for many years, will be
a trenchant spokesman for those who fear the
day that the recreational potential of America's
great outdoors is exhausted.
The 15-man commission including four
senators and four representatives, plus seven non
congressmen to be named by the president will
have a big job, and three
They will have up to $2,500,000 to conduct the
survey, and will be assisted by an advisory com
mittee of the head of each of the federal agencies
dealing with recreation, plus 25 persons appoint
ed to represent geographical areas and citizen in
terest groups.
WHAT'S the purpose?
1 T Basically, it is to find out, authoritatively and
for the first time, just what the U. S. has in the
way of outdoor recreational resources, whether
they are sufficient, and
the years to come.
Anyone who is at all
of outdoor recreation
there is increasing pressure on the rivers, streams,
lakes, beaches, forests and mountains which so
many of us use these days to revive ourselves
from the strains of everyday life.
Consider what it is now, with 174,000,000
population. Then consider what will happen in
1976 (population estimate, 225,000,000), in 2000
(population estimate 300,000,000) and so on.
Consider what it will be as the four-day week
succeeds the five-day week, and the three- or
even four-week vacation succeeds the two-week
vacation. And consider what will be the effect
of the vast new network of good roads now
abuilding, which will make the outdoors more
accessible than ever before.
70R example :
r In 1926, 6,000,000 visitors went into the na
tional forests. In 1962 only 3 years away
some 66,000,000 visitors are expected. The Na
tional Park system was designed to handle 25,
000,000 visitors annually, but it had 59,000,000
last year, and expects 80,000,000 by 1966 the
date for completition of its "Mission 66" pro
gram to bring it up to a point to meet the demand.
But the forests and national parks are not
enough. They must be expanded, added to, and
supplemented, if Americans are not to be as
crowded in the outdoors as they are in the cities.
(Oregon is fortunate in that the state owns
all its ocean beaches. But of the 3,700 miles of
the U. S. coastline along the Atlantic, only 240
miles are open to the general public.)
jyiEANWHILE, there are many things that
must be done before it is too late.
The states must expand their systems of
parks and recreational areas. So must the coun
ties and cities, before the land best suited to that
purpose is gone beyond retrieving- The areas we
have now must be protected and preserved for
future as well as present use.
Anything less will be a betrayal of the people
these local governments serve.
The federal agencies, generally, are aware of
the demands, and are doing what they can to
meet them. Both the National Park service and
the U. S. Forest Service have increased funds for
recreation, and are using them to good advantage.
But the appropriations are not, even now, ade
quate to meet the need.
If progress is continued for the next three
years,' and the commission comes up with a sound,
feasible program, there is hope that the nation's
outdoor recreational needs will be met at least
insofar as they can be in a land which already
has lost forever much of the land most admirably
suited to the need. E.A.

The Creative Man
What sets a creative individual aside from
one who may be equally intelligent, but whose
talents do not tend to creativity?
A recent study by a University of Chicago re
searcher indicates that drive and personality
traits have much to do with it.
The current Scientific American says:
"The creative individual . . . tends to set his sights
on more distant goals and to have a better mastery of
complex ideas and personal relationships. He sees him
self as different from other people; acts less convention
ally, is more tolerant of unconventional behavior in oth
ers. The creative scientist analyzes a problem slowly
and -carefully, then proceeds rapidly with the solution.
The less creative man is apt to flounder in a disorgan
ized attempt to get a quick answer. The creative scien
tist works longer hours and spends more of his leisure
time on activities related to his profession. He places
a higher value on creative effort and feels keenly any
restriction upon its exercise in his job."
The survey was among scinetists. But the an
alysis would be equally
engaged in other lines of endeavor, -whether it be
art, business, teaching, writing, or just the prob
lems of everyday life. E.A. , - - -

complacent neglect of . the
world balance of power by
the American government.
There is no other possible
answer to the Middle Eastern
catastrophe's central riddle.
Why has Nikita Khrushchev
dared to do what Josef Stalin
never dared to do, even in his
last, most belligerent and par
anoiac period? That is the
riddle.
The cold war, remember,
began in the Middle East with
a sharp defeat for the Krem
lin. In 1946, under firm An
glo-American pressure, Stalin
reluctantly withdrew the Red
Army from the Iranian prov
ince of Azerbaijan. From that
moment onward, Stalin al
ways left the Middle East
strictly alone. He even resist
ed the enormous temptations
of the second Iranian crisis,
when he was all but asked to
intervene by the weeping Dr.
Mossadegh.
"TTANDS off ihe Middle
East," was Stalin's rule,
very obviously, because Stal
in thought that probing in the
Middle East would come too
close to the bone. He took
great risks blockading Berlin,
ordering the Korean attack,
sponsoring the war in Indo
China. But he took no Middle
Eastern risks, because the
Western interests in the Mid
dle East seemed to him too
vital to safely be tampered
with.
The moment when Stalin's
heirs abandoned Stalin's rule
can be rather precisely dated.
Gamal Abdel Nasser heard
the first Soviet hint that he
might be allowed to buy arms
from the Kremlin in the pe
riod just prior to the famous,
foolish summit meeting at
Geneva. But nothing "was set
tled until Nikita Khrushchev
and his party went to the

But nothing was settled until
Nikita Khrushchev and his
party went to the summit, to
hear President Eisenhower

sent to Cairo to sign the Sov
iet arms contract with Nasser
within a fortnight. The sum

meeting finally persuaded the
masters of the Kremlin that
Stalin s rule was out of date
IN IHE same fashion, the
two-months-long display of
American feebleness in Leb
anon was the direct prelude
to the bloody coup in Iraq.
You can trace this kind of
contributing cause of the Mid
dle Eastern catastrophe from
the beginning to the grim end
of the story. But these were
only contributing causes,
Dean Acheson's famous proc
lamation of our lack of inter
est in Korea was at best a
contributing cause of Stalin's
Korean decision.
Without the Truman-Louis
Johnson disarmament, the
Korean aggression would
never have happened, no mat
ter what Acheson said or did
not say. And no matter what
nonsense was talked at Gen
eva, or wnat weakness was
displayed at Lebanon, the
Middle Eastern catastrophe
would never have happened
if we had not also lost the
American military lead in
these last self-indulgent years.
The lead was narrowing
fast when President Eisen
hower took office. He inherit
ed a mass of ugly documents,
in which the Truman Admin
istration belatedly recognized
the progress of Soviet weap
onry and proposed a greater
American defense effort to
maintain our lead. Instead,
the Eisenhower Administra
tion shortly decided on a re
duced defense effort Hence
the Eden-Eisenhower protes
tations at Geneva sounded de
lightfully convincing to the
Soviet auditors.
SINCE then, Soviet power
has i r n w n pnnfinnnnclv
and Western power has con
tinuously failed to keep pace
with this growth. For Khrush
chev, as for Stalin before him,
the decisive factor in every
calculation is his estimate of
the existing balance of mili
tary power. As the power bal
ance has tilted in the Krem
lin's favor, the Kremlin has
regularly recalculated the
risks that might reasonably
be taken. And now the Krem
lin has boldly risked the cli
mactic stab at the Western oil-
jugular in the Middle East.
Today, the gravest decisions
about the Middle . East must
instantly be taken. Tomorrow
equally grave decisions will
have to be taken, about the
inner relationships of the
Western Alliance. But the de
cision that is most important
of all is the long range deci
sion. The Middle Eastern ca
tastrophe is a warning ten
times more serious than the
warning of the Sputniks It is
a warning that we cannot
save ourselves without an im
mediate, massive and sus

Soviet Action Said To End
Hope for Friendly Relations
By CHARLES M. McCANN
(CPD Foreign News Analyst
Soviet Russia appears to
have destroyed any hope that
its relations with the United
States can be
put on friend
ly basis for
months to
come.
Its tactics
in the Middle
Eastern crisis
have shown
the complete
pvnipicm ritVi
McCann which the
Kremlin conducts its foreign
affairs.
Any chance for a "summit"
conference of the sort which
has been discussed in recent
months seems to have van
ished. The meeting on the Middle
Eastern crisis which Soviet
Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev
has demanded would not be
that sort of summit confer
ence. Summons for West
Khrushchev's summons
pretty well boils down to a de
mand that the United States
and Britain appear before
him to defend their actions in
Lebanon and Jordan.
The alternative, he implies,
might be an attack by Russia
on the two allies.
Secretary of State John
Foster Dulles has expressed
confidence that, despite its
dire threats, the Soviet Gov
ernment will not resort to any
military action against the
United States and British dis

and Jordan.

good reason for Dulles' confi

ter, of American foreign pol
icy might be described as the
most-lined and weary of all
the six official faces of Wash

Nothing in the law or Con
stitution says this must be so.
Nevertheless, the State De
partment in all administra
tions, including the present
one is always running a
panting race with the shadow
of unpopularity. And it is
nearly always losing.
If the Senate is not up in
arms against the department,
the House of Representatives
will be. And on the rare oc
casions when these faithful
critics may be quiescent, one
section or another of public or
press will be in full cry
against the denizens of Foggy
Bottom.

Caused by any rash action in
the Middle East.
Another factor is that the
Soviet statements, threatening
as they are, appear to be
aimed chiefly at mobilizing
world opinion against the
United States and Britain a
propaganda offensive.
Russia is represented as the
friend of peace, the defender
of small countries against
aggressive "imperialism" and
"colonialism."
It might as well be admit
ted that this propaganda is
likely to be effective not only
in the Arab countries but in
most of the newly-freed na
tions in the world and among
some sections of popular opin
ion in allied countries them
selves. But Russia's action in the
United Nations has shown
how brazenly a Communist
government can change
course.

ain sent their troops to Leba

appeals by legally-constituted
governments. Their very life

Still, there is a grain of truth
in the stereotype.
THE ' bureaucratic inertia
and encrusted stuffiness of
the State Department is un
deniable. And it is not the
top people who are to blame;
rather it is those in the tiers
below. These tend to a fusty
solemnity in which no gaiety
could raise its head and a
certain gaiety is not always
out of place in the solution of
great problems.
It is obvious that some
thing about the system is not
too easy to bear, even tfor
those in it. The most recent
ex-secretary of state, Dean
Acheson, as far more strik
ingly persuasive out of office
than he was in. The explana
tion is that he was so busy
then on so many things that
sometimes his public papers
were prepared by others.
They are infinitely better
when, as now, they are self
prepared. The present secretary, John
Foster Dulles, suggests in his
official appearances a dour
Puritanism and consciousness
of absolute personal Tightness
on all occasions that is less
than fair to him as a man.
The truth is that the De
partment of State and its
chief must carry an immense
,burden that never light
far the heaviest of any for
eign office in the world. For
not only is this nation the
world's leader; it is also a
very big and diverse country
full of conflicting pressures
from "national origin" groups
wriich will simultaneously
look upon our relations with
other nations in vastly differ
ent ways. Their competing
demands must be to some ex
tent accommodated.
THERE is none of the homo
geneity of the British
Isles upon which Whitehall
can base its actions. And
there is non of the happy sit
uation of the Kremlin, which
is less than passionately con
cerned with what the Russian
public will think.
Finally, because the State
Department has so many
things to do in so many places
around the world, it is becom
ing rather like a vast factory
of high policy. It is not al
ways too easy to think above
the hum of the great machine.
This machine occupies an
eight-story structure func

antiseptically g r a c eful. It

The Moral Way
To the Editor: Like the
British, I believe the Ameri
cans can and will accept the
moral responsibility for mil
itary intervention in the Mid
dle East.
At the time of the Suez
crisis, 58 per cent of the Brit
ish agreed with the British
government's sudden dispatch
of military forces against
Egypt. Gradually they re
gained reason and objectivity.
They disagreed with the ac
tion of their government and
the architect of the policy.
Eden had to bow out. They
accepted the rebuke of the
world.
Today it is probable that 58
per cent of Americans believe
it was right to send our
mighty military forces into
Lebanon, ignoring that United
Nations' authorized observa
tion teams had been sent
there by us and other mem
ber nations to keep the peace.
It is probable that events will
follow the Suez pattern.
Blocked by great power
vetoes in the Security Coun
cil, smaller states will take
the initiative in the General
Assembly emergency session
next week. They will act
swiftly to rebuke the United
States. Once again the spread
of war may be avoided.
The General Assembly will
express the moral pressure of
mankind. Can we accept the
pain and disappointment of
the grave miscalculation of
United States policy?
' We have much to gain if
we can. American leadership
can be restored in the United.
Nations. We can go forward
to help the United Nations de
fine "indirect aggression,"
and establish methods "short
of war" for restraining sub
versive" forces. This could vir
tually stop the "cold war,"
our greatest folly and costli
est political blunder.
Whether the intervention
was to maintain permanently
the government we want in
the Middle East, or to stop the
immediate threat of revolu
tion only, it Is against our
ways of the past. It divides
the Arab states, preventing
their natural tendency to
unite and become able to take
care of their own problems.
If we were to stay permanent
ly, to take Britain's place of
colonial power, it would be
costly beyond all estimates.
So costly that our economy
might go under. We must
face the fact that it isn't as
strong as we would like, due
to military expenditures and
waste, principally.
: The United Nations way Is
the moral way. It is right and
costs less. It saves the need
for the horrible expense to
maintain great armies. The
6,000 Marines, 49 warships
and two aircraft carriers, the
paratroopers, have not solved
a thing. We still have to
search long and hard as a na
tion for a policy acceptable
to the Middle East and in ac
cord with our own principles.
