Christian, Moslem Equality Claimed Necessary in Lebanon Editor's note: What happens nrxt in Lebanon? United Press International put this question to Saeb Salam. leader of the rebel lion ia Beirut. He wrote the fol lowing dispatch in answer. Sa lam is a graduate of the Ameri can I'niversitv of Beirut, presi dent of the Middle East Airlines Co., and former prime minister of Lebanon. By SAEB SALAM Written for UPI JBeirut (UPD The intern al situation in Lebanon is con ditioned by the fact that the country is made up of two component parts Christian and Moslem. No future policy of program can be successful unless it is based on the prin cipal of full and equal part nership and accord of these two parts. Neither side must dominate the other. Neither must take the other for granted. Both must feel that they have an equal stake in the country, that they equally belong to it, Respect Necessary If this principal is translat ed into action in the economic, social, cultural, political and administrative fields, nothing can endanger the internal co hesion of Lebanon. Lebanese relations with her sister Arab states must be based upon respect for the independence and territorial integrity of Lebanon. The Arab "states, in fact, have always been anxious to express this respect. This is evident from the covenant of the Arab- League, repeated declarations of U.A.R. Presi dent Gamal Abdel Nasser and recent statements by the Re public of Iraq. On the other hand Lebanon must not allow itself to be used by foreign powers as a lever to widen differences be- to open your savings account with us... -AND THERE'S NO DETTER TIME THAN RIGHT NOW I OPEN YOUR ACCOUNT WITH US TODAY Current Divfdend 3Vi Per Annum. (June 30, an extra dividend of Vi per annum was declared) FIRST FEDERAL Savings & Loan Assn. of Medford 29 North Ivy Street Robert F. Kyle, Manager tween the Arab states nor must it become a bridgehead for indirect pressure or di rect aggression against any sister Arab state. Nothing To Fear Lebanon has nothing to fear from the united Arab world. Apart from consideration of the sentiment and from securi ty against possible Israeli ex pansion, it is in the vital in terest of Lebanon whose econ omy depends on transit, trade and oil revenues and contracts to have the closest and friend liest relations with the Arab countries. Future policy most suited for Lebanon in the East-West struggle is in fact Lebanon's traditional policy, which dates back to the inception of the country'i independence in 1943. Neutrality Policy This policy is one of friend ship to all, and of neutrality between the great power blocs. By neutrality is meant refusal to be drawn into the whole complex or direct or in- direct bloc by the adoption of I doctrine, joining of pacts, I granting of bases or recogni- tion of preferential status. ' This, of course, does not mean Lebanon should not co operate with the sister Arab states in taking measures in the Arab security pact. No one can predict the fu ture but if one Is talking of what is necessary and desir able, then Lebanese President Camille Chamoun must resign immediately and the foreign American occupation must cease forthwith. No useful political step can be taken so long as these two i stumbling blocks remain.

OWE RDEP CENTRAL POINT, OREGON STORE Science Education Measure Cleared by House Committee Washington (UPD The House Rules Committee today cleared for House action President Eisenhower's $1, 070,000,000 bill to aid science education. The President asked for the measure to create a backlog of young scientists to put this country ahead of the Soviet Union in missiles develop ment and space exploraton. The committe, by a reported 6 to 3 vote, agreed to send the bill to the House floor under procedure allowing unlimited amendments. The House was expected to take it up later this week, with a good chance of passage. Pays Subsidies The bill would pay scholar ship subsidies over a four-year period, create a teacher-training system, and give other aids to science education. A showdown on the Democratic-backed omnibus farm bill was scheduled in the House, with Republican lead ers confident they had the votes to block passage, at least temporarily. The measure was slated for action under a take'-it-or-leave-it procedure barring amend ments but requiring a two thirds majority for passage. The Republican leaders want to force the bill's spon sors to bring it up later under regular procedure, leaving it open to amendments sought by the administration. The bill in its present form per mits Agriculture Secretary Ezra Taft Benson to lower federal price props for cotton, rice and corn. But the levels would not be as low as those in a Senate passed bill Benson favors. The GOP strategy appeared cer tain to rute out passage of the House bill today by the re quired two-thirds vote. Vote on Debt Limit The House also was to take a roll call vote on a bill grant ing Persident Eisenhower au thority to raise the federal government's debt ceiling to an all-time high of $288 bil lion. The House debated the issue for three hours Tuesday. The Senate, meanwhile, con centrated its efforts on com mittee work. A Senate Appro priation Committee's restora tion of most of the money slashed by the House from a foreign aid appropriation bill was being viewed as a victory for the President. Senate Democratic leader Cordon's Job Threatened Portland (UPD Multnomah County Commissioners Tues day challenged the need for the services of former Sen.

James Gleason asked Ralph Petersen, president of the O & C executive commit tee, for a complete account ing of Cordon's activities for the Association of O & C Counties in the capital. The commissioners acted after receiving -a letter from Lane County Commissioner Robert W. Straub who assert ed that Cordon's employment should be terminated imme diately. The Lane county official said that present Oregon Sen ators in Washington were able and willing to look after O & C interests just as Cor don did when he was a senator. Airline Wants Crates From Russia Portland (UPD Portland Zoo Director Jack Marks who traded four Oregon Beavers last week for a like number of Russian bears, said today the Russians may be in the doghouse over an exchange of animal crates. : Marks said the crates in which the beavers traveled to Brussels where the ex change took place were spec ial ones designed by North west Air Lines for canine pas sengers. The NWA crates have class, Marks said, and are made of collapsible alumin um. The bears would have re turned to Portland in them. But at Brifssels, somehow, the plush crates went" to Mos cow with the beavers and the Russians left behind the sturdy wooden ones the bears were brought in. But NWA doesn't want the wooden ones. They're busy trying to get the other ones back. RENAME AIR BASE Lake Charles, La. (UPD The Lake Charles Air Force Base was renamed Tuesday in honor of the late Lt. Gen.
