Lacking them, it is difficult to see how the

The Statesman says:
"It would be better for some National Health Foun
dation to operate independently, staging its campaign
separate from the United Fund . . . The separate
money-raising organizations could dissolve, and there
would be a more rational apportionment of proceeds
to research and education activities of the several
special agencies.
"This will not come unless somebody the public,
probably by withholding contributions, pushes the
separate agencies into consolidation."
DEOPLE who have worked long and hard on
their special health projects would not like to
lose their organizational identities.
But if there is to be order and an effective,
concentrated attack on the xinedical ills of the
nation, some sort of plan along this line will do
more toward that end than a continuance of the
present situation.
We don't expect to see it for a long time, how

the crisis most
be held on
probably within the next two
weeks at United Nations head
quarters in New York.
In the U.N. Security Coun
cil, Russia vetoed a Japanese
resolution under which the
U.N. observer force in Leb
anon would have been rein-
lorced to permit the early
withdrawal of American
troops.
Russia used its veto be
cause the resolution did not
insist that the troops be with
drawn at once.
In Lebanon itself, a meet
ing of the single-chamber Par
liament, at which a new presi
dent was to be elected to
succeed Camille Chamoun,
was postponed until next
Thursday.
There were increasing indi
cations that the rebellion,
which sent the troops to Leb
anon in response to an appeal
by Chamoun, might be ended
soon by a compromise. Under
the compromise, the 66-mem-ber
chamber would elect a
successor to Chamoun. It was
Chamoun's attempt to revise
the constitution, so he could
get a second term, that caused
the rebellion.
The "summit" negotiations
started last Saturday when
Soviet Premier Nikita S.
Khrushchev demanded an im
mediate conference on the
ground the landing of Ameri
can troops in Lebanon and
British troops in Jordan
threatened to lead to World
War III.
The United States, Britain
and France replied on Tues
day the day that Khrush
chev had wanted to start the
conference. They offered to
hold the conference, at a date
to.be agreed upon, under the
auspices of the U.N. Security
Council.
Khrushchev answered the
Allies on Wednesday by say
ing he was prepared to at
tend a conference. He sug
gested it start in New York
next Monday.
It was obviously impossible
for the Allies' to agree to
start the conference so soon,

The reason could not be
more simple and Vice Presi

finger upon it immediately
when he suffered his ordeal.
The Venezueelans had noth

years of excessive American
friendliness to the hated and
brutal dictatorship of Gen.

The Geneva summit confer

this week, with a remarkable
record of non-achievement
which finally established the

morning glory of modern
times. It started as an effort
to end the cold war. It failed
in all of its objectives, large
and small.
Ike Was Reluctant
Eisenhower resisted the
summit conference in 1955 as
he resisted it this year. Brit

ion was almost unanimous
three years ago in demanding
that the British, French, Rus-
sian and American heads of
state meet. British Socialists

knowledge and concern in
hemispheric affairs, but they
are few, indeed.
Mr. Porter's dislike of the
tyrannies in the Dominican
Republic, Cuba and previous
ly in Venezuela and Colom

criticism of the Ernst report
on the Galindez-Murphy case
was a notable piece of investi

Klamath Bill Chance
Seen Good; Wordage
Dispute Continues
By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Washington House Inter
ior Committee approval of the
Klamath Indian bill has
brightened prospects of its
enactment before Congress
adjourns, but a feature of the
bill concerning timber man
agement remains in contro
versy.
The whole purpose of the
biU is to amend the original
Klamath termination act of
1954, under which the pine
forests of the Indians would
have to be sold to the highest
bidder with no strings attach
ed. The pending measure is
to assure that the timberlands
won't be clear cut, but will
be managed under good con
servation practices.
The administration bill,
which passed the Senate, said
any purchaser had to agree to
manage on a sustamed-yieid
preparation is that Khrush
chev's attendance at a New
York meeting would make
almost unprecedented precau
tions necessary to safeguard
him. U.N. security agents, the
United States Secret Service,
the Federal Bureau of Investi
gation, the New York police
force and possibly even Amer
ican Marine would be on hand
in addition to Khrushchev's
own secret police.
There was one most favor
able development: The dan
gerous tension in the Middle
East and between the United
States and Russia which fol
lowed the revolt in Iraq and
the American and British
landings in Lebanon, had
greatly eased.
ference a major campaign
issue against the conservatives
in the spring of 1955.
With a British election com
ing up, Eisenhower finally
agreed. He told his March 23,
1955, news conference that no
summit meeting was in the
planning stage and that he
had "faint hope" that a Big
Four meeting would be use
ful. Five, days later the Presi
dent said . he could foresee
"many dangers" in a high level
Big Four meeting. The Presi
dent's firmly held preference
was for careful preliminary
planning leading to a foreign
ministers' conference. A sum
mit meeting would come last,
if at all.
On the day the President
foresaw many dangers, the
State Department confirmed
announcement by British
Prime Minister Sir Anthony
Eden in London that the
United States, Great Britain
and France had begun dis
cussions for arrangement bf a
possible Big Four meeting
with the Soviet Union.
Victory For Eden
Eisenhower finally became
enthusiastic about the chances
of a summit meeting easing
the cold war. These develop
ments combined to scuttle the
biggest issue British Socialists
had been able to develop
against Eden's conservative
government in the election
campaign then underway.
Eden's Conservatives won that
election.
British Socialists had the
pressure on again this week
for a summit meeting. The
Eisenhower admin istration
seems again to be adjusting
its policy in that respect to
meet the political necessities
of the principal U.S. ally and
the pressure of world opinion.
Now, as in 1955, Eisenhower
would prefer careful prepara
tion and an agreed upon dis
cussion schedule before com
mitting the U.S. to a meeting
Of the heads of states.
Lack of such preparation
and agreement led the 1955
meeting into a dead end. The
Big Four in 1955 finally re
ferred German unification,
European security, disarma
ment and development of
East-West relations to a for
eign ministers conference
which met in .Geneva Oct. 27,
1955.
The foreign ministers met,
talked and adjourned without
agreement on anything.
HELP FOR ELDERLY
Washington (UPD The
House Labor Committee ap
proved a bill Thursday calling
for a White House conference
to recommend ways to meet
the ..needs and use the skills
of the nation's older citizens.
basis for 100 years. But the
House committee deleted the
term sustained-yield and in
serted a provision which says
the timber must be managed
so as to provide a continuous
supply of timber.
Sees Weakening
Sen. Richard L. Neuberger
(D-Ore.), who piloted the bill
through the Senate, thinks
this change weakens the mea
sure. So do conservation
groups. The Forest Service
says it depends on how Con
gress interprets this language.
So to shore up this lan
guage, Rep. Al Ullman (D
Ore.) got the committee to
agree to interpret it in this
way in the report which will
accompany the bill to the
House floor:
"The act of June 4, 1897
(establishing the Forest Ser
vice) provides that one of the
purposes for which national
forests are established is 'to
furnish a continuous supply
of timber.' This is a guiding
conservation principle under
which the national forests
have been managed for years.
The committee believes it ap
propriate to use this same
language to describe the pur
noses for which tribal forest-
lands will be managed by the
purchasers thereof under
plans prepared by the pur
chasers and approved by the
Secretary of Agriculture."
Prefer Other Term
Forest Service officials say
even with this interpretation
thev would prefer the more
explicit term "sustained-
yield" in the law which will
govern the management of the
valuable Klamath timber-
lands. Congressman Ullman
says he also would prefer the
Senate version, but this was
the best he could get out of his
committee.
The originator of this new
phraseology was Rep. Jack
Westland (R-Wash.). Westland
had some other seemingly
minor changes in mind when
the bill came uo for a final
vote, but the committee re
fused to accept them. West
land said he had just received
word from "some friends of
mine" in the lumber business
in Klamath Falls who claimed
the pending bill would put
up to 1,000 men out oi woru
this fall. '
Westland said four mills
were going to shut down in a
month if they weren't able
to get the 300 million board
feet of timber they expected
to go up for sale in August
and September. He oojeciea
to a provision in the Klamath
bill which said "no , sale of
timber shaU be made under
the provisions of this act prior
to July 1. 1959."
Plan to But
Forestry officials explained
that the mills apparently were
planning to buy timberland
which the existing termina
tion act has required Interior
to advertise for sale. Interior
has advertised 180 million bd.
ft. on certain small units of
land, and the bid opening is
scheduled for Aug. 26 but
all of this would be cancelled
out. hv this bill, and, later,
larger units would go up for
sale under sustained-yield or
continuous timber supply re
strictions.
"The whole purpose of this
hill is to prevent clear cut
ting," said Ullman in response
to Westland's objections.
Interior officials said 93
million bd. ft. of pine will be
sold soon from the lands of
Indians who plan to remain
in the tribe. This sale is simi
lar to past logging on sustained-yield
basis in Klamath
forests, from which Indians
derive per capita payments.
Committee members urged
the Forest Service to see if
it could make more timber
available for sale to Klamath
basin mills until the opportun
ity is presented for private
operators to bid on the large
timber units into which the
reservation forests will be
divided.
The committee then clari
fied the intent of the bill to
mean that no "forest units"
shall be sold at this time. It
moved the date up from July
1 to April 1, 1959. There was
no change in the date of July
i, 1961 deadline for private
operators to purchase the for
est units. After that date, they
go into the national forest
system. .
Ends Management Jobs
The House bill also calls for
Interior to terminate the con
tracts of the management spe
cialists who were appointed
to handle the termination pro
gram. Interior would assume
the responsibility of finishing
the job. This would involve
mainly conducting a review of
the appraisal of the tribe's
assets and managing the tim
ber sales, if private operators
bid on the timber.
The House bill also repeals
a provision in the original act
which required trustees to be
appointed by Interior to man-(

"The U.S. recognizes and
SYMPATHIZES with the

GOP Senators Seek
Seniority
publican leaders are about to
do a little face-lifting on the
most time-honored of Senate
traditions the Seniority
System.' .
Under this hoary setup,
freshmen Republicans are
farmed out to minor commit
tees where they must serve
until they build up seniority.
The "youngsters" are kicking;
they want more important as
signments. Three Republicans, George
D. Aiken (Vt.), William A.
Purtell (Conn.). and Jacob K.
Javits (N. Y.) sent letter re
cently to the Senate GOP
leaders asking for a change.
They proposed that every Re
publican Senator, regardless
of seniority, be assigned to at
least one major committee be
fore those Senators with more
service get their second com
mittee assignments. Every
Senator gets two committees.
Democrats' System
This system was adopted by
the Democrats in 1953 and
has worked like a charm.
And now it appears that the
Republicans will try it. Both
Sen. Styles Bridges (N. H.)
chairman of the Republican
Policy Committee, which
rules on this matter, and Sen
Everett M. Dirksen (111.), as
sistant Republican leader, say
thev favor the idea
"I think the . proposal is
going to get some real consid
eration before the Senate Pol
icy Committee," Bridges told
Congressional Quarterly. Al
though he stands first in sen
iority among Senate Republi
cans. Bridees said. "I'm for
the general idea, although
manv think I'm opposed to it
I believe new Senators come
in with fresh ideas and new
inspiration."
"There is a general disposi
tion to rearrange the current
system to provide effective
committees for everyone,
Dirksen said. He said the spe
cial talents and experience of
GOP Senators and the inter
ests of their areas should be
considered as well as sen
iority.
It is unlikely the system
will be changed until after
Jan. 1.

Senate Republicans favor this
change, particularly tnose

TN THAT statement, Ike was
talking over Khrushchev's
head to the PEOPLE OF THE
ARAB WORLD, who are giv
ing striking evidence of their
desire (and, perhaps, DETER
MINATION) to RUN THEIR
OWN AFFAIRS in that part
of the world which for more
centuries than the historians
are able to enumerate exactly

THEIRS. .
He is saying to them that
the United States of America,
which in its immortal Decla
ration" of Independence threw
off the yoke of colonial im
perialism, understands and
SYMPATHIZES WITH the de
sire of the Arab peoples to
do likewise.
That is a far-reaching state
ment. t
It could have far-reaching
results.
TT COULD mean that the
United States of America
is finally coming around to
the point of declaring that
its sympathies lie with the
natural aspiration of peoples
all over the world to RUN
THEIR OWN AFFAIRS, free
from imperialistic domina
tion. Revision
seniority "proved a ten
strike" for the Democrats. "It
strengthened our party in the
Senate," he said.
The big advantages, accord
ing to Aiken and Javits,
would be better morale
among GOP Senators, more
evenly distributed work load
and the benefit of the indi
vidual Senator's abilities and
experience.
Take Javits and Thruston
B. Morton (Ky.) for example.
They are the lowest ranking
Republicans in the Senate.
Javits, a former New York
State Attorney General, is as
signed to the relatively unim
portant Rules and Adminis

Committee on Printing. Mor

Communications
Through Others' Eyei
To the Editor: "In dealing
with students, with patients,
or with any group or nation,
the first step is to see the
world through their eyes, to
enter in to what they are try
ing to do, however strange
their behavior seems. Genuine
communication is impossible
on any other basis." t
The above is a quotation by
Dr. H. S. Sullivan described
in "Conceptions of Modern
Psychiatry." So said an article
by Dr. Irving Lee (Northwest
ern University professor of
public speaking in 1953).
Dr. Sullivan must have had
a mental picture of the cold
war struggle, and the slender
thread that now exists in
place of the thick rope that
had a chance to stand the
strain of the long cold war.
The statement "seeing
through the eyes of others, en
tering into what they are try
ing to do," coincides with
what author Harry Overstreet
said in his book, "Mature
Mind," referring to the oppos
ing nations, and also to the
deterioration of the Golden
Rule in everyday life. He
mentioned until adults saw
life through grown-up minds
there would be no peace and
perhaps no life of any kind
left on earth.
Overstreet's urge was the
de-education and then the re
education of adults of all ages.
Not just childish understand
ing of self and others, but
deep insight into every prob
lem that could materialize
into a breeding ground for
hate, envy, gossip, slander,
etc. He advised stepping out
of our own selves, and then to
do some retrospecting, thor
oughly analyze our own short
comings. In other words judge
the old self we've been, and
see where repairs are needed,
to put ourselves in shape, to
make our contribution to a
hostile world, by- setting an
example of peaceful attitude.
