Chehab is to succeed Presi dent Camille Chamoun, whose attempt to run for re-election caused the rebellion. As soon as the vote was announced, rebel chieftains ordered a cease fire. Army and rebel troops, facing each other in the shadow of the parliament building joyfully fired their weapons into the air. There were still elements of possible trouble in the sit uation. Hope Runs High But hope ran high it might soon be possible to withdraw the 10,000 United States a more orderly termination of government control of The Klamath Indian reservation has passed both houses of con gress. The house version of it differs from the senate ver sion. The senate bill provides that sustained yield manage ment must be observed by any purchaser of reservation timber lands for 100 years. The language of the house bill stipulates that the pur chaser must "agree to manage the forest lands as far as prac ticable so as to furnish a con tinqus supply of timber." The two bills must now go to a joint conference commit tee composed of members of both houses of the congress. The job of ?;his committee is to reconcile the differences between the two bills. If and when this is accomplished, the compromise bill must then go back to both house and sen ate. It must be accepted by both houses and signed by the President before it be comes law. It can be assumed that if the conferees reach an agree ment the bill will receive ap proval in both house and sen ate. It is a reasonable assump tion that it will then be signed by the President. THE important point is that the bill didn't get caught in the adjournment jam that so often develops in the final days of a session of the con gress. In that event, it would have died, and the reservation tim ber would have had to be dis posed of under the provisins of Public Law 587 which, by throwing a huge volume of timber on the market, under unfavorable market condi tions, could have resulted in heavy losses to the Indian owners of the timber. has made himself a destroyer of all tht he touches. The catalogue in his book of ex citements murder, beating, stealing, vandalism can be read in reverse on the police blotter. If you told him he was lost, that he was missing the real world, he would only scoff and scorn. His wish for excitement is natural in a boy. It has simply been distorted into an ugly image, as his energies have turned into destructive chan nels. . But where is the lad with fresh and. innocent wonder written on his face? Where is the boy who delights in un covering the little mysteries of nature, in building his phys ical skills not to fight but to play hard, in seeing the mar vel's of man's world put to gether and taken apart not for the malicious pleasure of destroying but for understand ing? This boy is a collector, a Washington Report By William S. White IKE'S PRESTIGE Washington President Eisenhower's prestige is fall ing at a frightening rate. It is declining 1 n part because of his actions, But in p a r the thrust downward is a result of storm of pub lie and press criticism bio wing in Willam S White ine worst pos sible circumstances and at the worst possible times. His moral authority in this country and the rest of the world is being cut down as unrr.asoningly over the Mid die East crisis of 1958 as it was unreasoningly inflated in the Middle East crisis of 1956 There are beginning to be ominous parallels witn tne last two years of the Truman administration, i Then, unre- troops who had been sent to Beirut, the capital, in re sponse to Chamoun's plea that the rebels were receiving aid from President Gamal Nas ser's United Arab Republic The collapse of the rebel lion removed all sense of urgency from the negotiations for a "summit" conference on the Middle East. Soviet Premier Nikita S Khrushchev had demanded the conference on the ground the landing of American troops in Lebanon, and of British troops in neighboring Jordan, threatened to explode into World War III. The summit negotiations continued in a tedious succes sion of exchanges between the United States, Great Britain and France on one hand and Russia on the other. The negotiations were marked by bickering which seemed an unhappy augury for any coi'.ravance. Conference Probable But it appeared likely that a conference would be held on the Middle Eastern situa tion as a whole. The American- and British troops were sent to Lebanon and Jordan when a savage, lightning-swift rebellion over threw King Faisal of Iraq. Chamoun, Faisal and King Hussein of Jordan were three outstanding friends of the West. They had won the bit ter hatred of Nasser because they were obstacles to his aim of making himself master of the Arab world." It was feared that, with Faisal murdered both Leban on and Jordan might, like Iraq, fall into Nasser's sphere of dominance. The immediate Allied prob lem was to get Chehab into the Lebanese presidential chair in place of Chamoun as soon as possible, and to try to strengthen both Lebanon and Jordan against subversion by pro-Nasser elements. Hope For Best As for Iraq, all that could be done was to hope that its new leaders would preserve their country's independence and would not join Nasser's United Arab Republic. Western governments start ed recognizing the new re gime. The Iraqi revolt threatened to wreck the Middle Eastern Treaty Organization, of which Iraq wasthe only Arab mem ber. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles attended a meeting in London of the four remaining active .members of the METO alliance Turkey, Iran, Pakistan and Britain. Though still refusing to join tne alliance, wmcn ne had sponsored, Dulles fully committed the United States to defend Turkey, Iran and Pakistan against aggression and to join with them in com batting subservibh in the Mid dle East generally. tentative builder, an experi mentor, an explorer, a com petitor. In his excited re sponses we find mirrored the wonderment of his life on this earth. But the one standing on the corner in the delinquent's uni form is an evil caricature. He collects other people's prop erty, builds nothing, explores only for trouble, and competes with the-knife, the boot and the other vicious weapons of his breed.

Astorian Budget. Astoria. strained attacks upon the White House all but destroy ed Presidential power to move rationally in the Korean conflict. Now, similar attacks upon President Eisenhower are limiting his ability to act, with any sure confidence, for American interests in the Middle East. The really vital question now is not whether the President is going to move wisely; it is whether he is go ing to be able to move at all. A LL this is the judgment not simply of one Washington columnist but also of the sen lor and most responsible members of the President's responsible opposition,- the Democratic party. These Democrats are far from enchanted with the Pres ident. They have every deter mination to wrest the White House from the Republicans They prefer, however, to run the campaign of 1960 in 1960 and not now, in 1958 and in the middle of a world crisis. Privately they make no se cret of their fear that the country itself is being endan gered by something approach ing a hysterical repudiation of the proper powers of 'the Presidential office. They would say precisely the same thing in public even in Macy's window, as the saying goes but for their awareness that this would on ly' heighten the destructive clamor they are hoping some how to quiet. They are the first to point out that the administration has, indeed, made many grave blunders.' They are the first to say that the public disillu-' sionment now beating about the President is the inevitable reaction from the extreme public adulation of the- past so carefully fostered by his backers. For the man who is given credit for the sunshine will later be blamed for the rain. TUT, having said all these things, these Democrats have other things to say. And some of them are: That many critics of the President's intervention in the Middle East properly stress its awkwardness and danger but forget that but for this intervention an admitted ly bad situation would be far worse. For one thing, Leba non and Jordan . would be gone, too, and with them the last hope of keeping Turkey's 20-odd divisions effectively in the Western alliance. That in times of national peril there are two kinds of criticism one being con structive and needed and the other merely panicky and harmful and, though entirely constitutional, entirely' un wise for persons holding high responsibilities. That in foreign affairs there can be only one Presi-: dent of the United States at a time good, bad, or indif ferent and one voice for this country abroad. That the present President of the United States is still going to be President of the United States until January, 1961. THAT since this is incontest ably so, no matterhow in ept his notes to the Kremlin may sound to some, it will surely do little good toNhack him down in the eyes of the outer world by presenting the spectacle of the most articu late part of a whole country up in arms against him. This is why the 85th Con gress, which is in control of the opposition party, is draw ing so quietly, almost sedate ly, toward its close. Wisely or not, its leaders are not now interested in fighting the President on his own properj constitutional terrain. At this point they are re solved to create no human break with the President whatever his mistakes or his weaknesses so wide and so bitter as was created by the Republicans in Congress when President Truman (and the United States of America) was desperately engaged in Korea. For it is possible that Dem ocratic advisers vill yet be 2 31 MUTTON ROAST Knowland Refuses to For Campaign Trail By LYLE C. WILSON UPI Correspondent Washington (UPD Sen William F. Knowland is griev ing some of his good friends by standing pat on his rep utation of be ing a man who knows his own mind and who cannot be swayed. Th at is a friendly way of stating that Lvle C. Wilson Olll Mowiana is a stubborn man. He is being stubborn right now in refus ing to abandon his seat in the U. S. Senate and his position of Republican leader to under take an all-out campaign for Governor of California. The word around Capitol Hill and in the National Press Cub, where recent visitors to Caifornia sometimes get to gether, is that the Republican Party is headed for a classic defeat in California next No vember. Knowland, especially, is noted by those who discuss California polticis as the Re publican candidate who is in the most trouble and who needs to go home and cam paign hardest. Knowland Stays On To suggestions and pleas that he leave Washington for the California hustings, Know- land replies with a smile or a steely "No!" Congress will be in session until mid-August or later and Knowland evidently intends to stick it out, regard- ess. Knowland is back home in California this week end for a state GOP convention Sat urday and a state central com mittee meeting Sunday. But, in keeping with his stubborn determination,' he , won't be making any campaign talks. This deeply troubles Repub lican politicos. For example: Vice President Richard M. Nixon, a -Calif ornian, aspires to tne i960 Republican presi dential nomination. To main tain the desirable, tidy home base from which to seek such distinction, Nixon requires a strong Republican Party in his home state. Instead of tidy, the Repub lican Party in California after this year's election is more likely to look like it had been chewed up by bears. Edmund G. Pat Brown is the Demo cratic candidate for governor. He polled 2,181,000 votes in the June primary to 1,575,000 for Knowland. They cross- filed, as is the California cus tom, so that it was possible to vote for Knowland and Brown in both the Republican and Democratic primaries. Significant Margin This cross-filing -system made the contest more like an election than a primary. The margin between the aggregate of votes polled by each candi date demonstrates that Brown has a long lead which only good breaks and a hard, effec tive campaign by Knowland could overcome. Republicans are otherwise dismayed by the prospect of California voting a Democrat, ic administration into state of fice. The state is on a popula tion binge. California is tied for second now with Pennsyl vania in the number of elec toral votes to which it is en titled 32 each. New York is first with 45. The census bureau estimat ed this week that the 1960 census would give California seven additional seats in the U. S. House of representatives. California's electoral votes would increase by the same number to 39. Increases in House membership and in the electoral college would not be effective until the election of 1962. Consider the good Dem ocratic prospects in this year's election, however, in relation to the prospective swelling of California's political trend. That trend is against the needed to work intimately and in mutual toleration with the President before we have crossed the long and shaky bridge upon which we stand.

However, as a native Cali fornian who lived in the Gold en State more than 40 years, I would be more than happy to have "My Money" used to aid in defeating Senator William Knowland in his race for the office of Governor of that state not primarily because he favors "Right to Work" legislation, but on general principles. Grace N. Pearson, : Route 2, Box 50, Jacksonville. Wants "Whole Story" To the Editor: I read with interest your editorial on postage increase in Monday's paper. I have been tempted to. write ever since all the hub-, bub and hurrah over the most recent raise. : ' I am not against the raise, evidently our congress thinks it is necessary. However I am wondering why you and most all other newspaper men fail to follow through with your talk of the increase. Why do you not continue and tell John Q. Public , how much newspapers, magazines, peri odicals and just plain junk have been raised? Do it on a percentage and time basis and see how" little they pay in comparison to first class maiL Everyone knows and feels the increase in first class and parcel post rates, but I am willing to venture that not 15 per cent of the general public realizes how little postage is paid on the other classes of mail. And it receives practi cally the same good service that first class mail receives. If Congress, government agencies, second and third class mail paid their .fair share, the postoffice depart ment would be much more self sufficient. Why can't we have the whole story? . Mrs. J. B.
