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-

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.

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.
Guy Cordon as a SlOOO-a-month
representative for O &
C counties in Washington,
D. C.
Commissioners Jack Bain
and M. 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.
Claire Chennault, war time
leader of the Flying Tigers,
who died last week.
Lyndon B. Johnson (Tex.) and
GOP leader William F. Know
land (Calif.) teamed up in the
appropriations group Tuesday
to win restoration of S440
million of the S597 million
slashed by the House in actual
money from the $3,675,592,
000 originally authorized by
Congress for the program.
The bill probably will reach
the Senate Floor Friday.
Two More Penguins
Die in Portland
Portland (UPD Two Em
peror penguins died in the
Portland zoo Tuesday, trim
ming the city's penguin colony
to 12 birds, five Adelies and
seven Emperors.
Jack Marks, zoo director,
said the two latest deaths oc
curred when the birds
"panicked." He reported blood
was splattered over the pen
guin quarters and the flipper
of one had been hurt.
Marksx trapped more than
60 of the penguins and
brought them back from the
Antarctic for U.S. zoos.
