Middle East Development
The conviction appears to be growing that
any viable political settlement in the Middle East
must be tied in -with or even rest upon a broad
regional development program there. U. S. dip
lomats, casting about for a positive approach in
the forthcoming show-down with Soviet Russia,
are said to be studying such a plan, though Sec
retary of State Dulles has shown no great en
thusiasm for the idea in the past.
For the basic idea is not new. It keeps reap
pearing from year to year in a variety of guises.
Former President Tinman has long championed
the idea of area development for the Middle East.
In a syndicated article of Feb. 14, 1957, for ex
ample, he wrote:
We must realize we cannot achieve a durable peage
in the Middle East until we can bring together into close
economic cooperation all the nations of that area. We
cannot be too soon in tackling this problem. All the na
tions of the Middle East have common water resources
in the Euphrates, the Jordan, and the Nile. If these wat-
er resources are fully developed, a flourishing civiliza
tion such as existed in ancient days will rise again.
AS LONG ago as December 1950 the United
Nations General Assembly voted $30 million
to finance a reintegration program, for Palestin
ian Arab refugees to be administered by the UN
Relief and Works Agency. The two most ambi
tious projects called for irrigating the northwest
ern part of the Sinai Peninsula with Nile river
water piped from the Suez Canal and developing
the wrhole Jordan river system. '
The Sinai plan was shelved in 1956 when
President Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt decided
that Nile waters could not be spared until the
Aswan High Dam had been built. To promote
the Jordan project, Eric A. Johnston, acting as a
special presidential envoy, made several trips
to the Middle East in the years 1953-1955. It
foundered over the impossibility of bringing Jor
dan, Israel, and Syria together to agree on ripar
ian rights.
Then there is the "Italian Middle-Eastern doc
trine" proposed by' former Foreign Minster Giu
seppe Pella wThen he visited Washington last De
cember. The Italians envisage a new Middle East
ern development fund established by the United
States and Western European countries, with the
United States contributing the repayments on its
Marshall Plan loans. The new Premier, Amintore
Fanfani, is reported to have brought up the Pella
plan again on his recent visit to this country.
THE Middle East of course is divided between
"have" and "have-not" nations,' and what the
"haves" have is oil. Emile M. Bustani, a member
of the Lebanese Parliament, and an oil pipeline"
builder, last Oct. 22 proposed the easing of ten
sions by making funds from oil profits available
to countries that do not produce oil. A close friend
of Nasser, Bustani reported that Egypt was will
ing to have an oil pipeline built from one end of
the Suez Canal to the other.
Dr. Ali Amini, Iranian Ambassador to the
United States, made a similar proposal last Jan.
31. Iran, unlike Lebanon, is an oil-haye nation.
Over-all Middle Eastern oil income flows in at
the rate of about $1 billion a year.
Now Sen. Jacob K. Javits, (R-N.Y.), is pro
posing that the United States push a "suitably
adapted and adequately financed regional de
velopment plan" along Marshall Plan lines for
the Middle Uast. And on tne otner side oi uie
aisle, Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, (D-Minn.) asks
that we "take the initiative in the UN in proposing
a Middle East Development Agency as an admin
istering body for the mutual pooling of capital
and technical aid in the region." E.R.R.
Pension For Ex-Presidents
Now it's the President himself who'll face
what is in a way a conflict of interests. He soon
gets for his approval a bill, now in conference be
tween House and Senate, to give former Presi
dents $25,000 a year for life (and $10,000 to their
widows), perhaps (Senate version) with some
free office space, secretarial staff and postage.
The Eisenhowers after Jan. 20, 1961, won't
need such aid, it was pointed out in the House de
bate. Nor are former Presidents Hoover and Tru
man actually "barefoot" or "in danger of missing
a meal."
DUT other chief executives were less fortunate,
Jefferson, practically bankrupt, had to mort
gage Monticello and sell his cherished books and
other property. Madison raised a little money by
laboriously writing up his notes on the Constitu
tional Convention. Even so, he didn't leave Dolly
enough to live comfortably on.
Monroe lost his Virginia estate to creditors,
and had to go to New York to live off relatives.
Mrs. Lincoln felt impelled to ask Congress for a
pension. Grant, penniless from an unfortunate
venture in Wall Street, had to pen his memoirs
while dying from cancer of the throat. Mrs. Ben
jamin Harrison lived in poverty that wasn't al
ways genteel.
flTLSON, half paralyzed, needed his second
wife's income (she now receives a $5000
government pension), even after a group of
friends donated to him the mortgage on his S
Street house in Washington. Coolidge wrote a
newspaper column and became a trustee of a life
insurance company.
The present bill aims to relieve former chief
executives from making connections of this sort.
Even so, the present federal tax reduces a hus-band-and-wife
gross income of $25,000, with
standard deductions, to around $18,000. E.R.R.

U.N. Committee Unanimous In
Noting Nuclear Fallout Hazards
By JOHN McNUTT
' UPI Correspondent
United Nations, N. Y. (UPD
A 15-nation U. N. commit
tee has agreed unanimously
that mankind faces "new and
largely unknown hazards" as
a result of radioactive fallout
from nuclear weapons tests.
The committee, which has
been studying the problem for
more than 2Vz years, found
that "even the smallest
amounts of radiation are lia
ble to cause deleterious gen
etic and perhaps also somatic
effects."
Somatic effects include can
cer and leukemia. The report
added, "The irradiation of
any groups of people, before
and during the reproductive
age, will contribute genetic
effects to whole populations
in so far as the gonads (repro
duction glands) are exposed."
Praises Study
In Washington, the Atomic
Once-Powerful Farm
Block Shattered,
Observers Believe
By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Washington A good many
observers here are saying the
once-powerful farm bloc in
Congress has been shattered.
For years many Southern
Democrats and Midwestern
Republicans .teamed up to
scratch regional backs by
supporting omnibus farm
legislation that was good for
both these major agricultural
areas which grow major
price-supported crops cot
ton, tobacco, rice, corn and
wheat.
" But last week for the sec
ond ,time, the House defeat
ed a farm bill. And earlier
this - session President Eisen
hower vetoed a resolution
calling for a freeze in the
level of farm price supports
and acreage allotments.
Secretary of Agriculture
Ezra Taft Benson is credited
with helping to split the farm
bloc in his persistent fight
against high rigid price sup
ports. Two-Price Plan Dead
Northwest wheat growers,
who have long advocated a
two-price plan for wheat, won
the backing of the House Ag
riculture Committee earlier
this year but the resulting
omnibus farm bill was re
fused even the privilege of a
floor debate by the House. So
the two-price plan was virt
ually killed off.
The split in the farm bloc
began in 1954. The Eisen
hower administration helped
bring out this division with
the aid of the cotton industry,
particularly textile interests
who were concerned about
high cotton prices compared
with the many new synthetic
fabrics coming out of non
price supported chemical
plants.
Benson promised South
erners what amounted to a
freeze on acreage allotments,
which were due to be cut
sharply because of a heavy
surplus, in return for voting
his flexible price support pro
gram into law.
This horse-trade between
the administration and South
ern Democrats helped Ben
son achieve his flexible sup
port victory. It led . to a
scramble among farm com
modity producing groups to
outdo one another for bene
fits equal to those being
granted cotton. Benson all
the while was preaching the
doctrine that government con
trols were hurting the farmer.
Greater Flexibility
In January Benson sought
Energy Commission lauded
the "thorough-going study"
made by the U. N. Scientific
Committee on the Effects of
Atomic Radiation but said
"man must learn to live" with
radiation.
The AEC added, "It is im
portant to note that in so far
as leukemia and bone cancer
are concerned, the committee
has pointed out there is no
certainty that fallout will
produce any additional cases
of either .disease " Moreover,
said the AEC, the committee
"has taken pains to estimate
the greatest number of cases
which might result from fall
out under the most pessimis
tic conditions."
The committee's report,
which will be submtted to the
next regular session of the
U. N. General Assembly,
stopped short of calling for
cessation of nuclear tests. It
said that problem was one for
to gain greater flexibility by
asking for a law to allow him
to set price supports any
where between 60 and 90 per
cent of parity, instead of Be
tween 75 and 90 per cent as
the present law provides on
the basic crops. At the same
time there was pressure from
producers -to prevent acreage
allotments being cut.
The Farm Bureau then
moved into position its power
ful lobby group, which haj
generally been on Benson's
side and opposed, with Ben
son, the Northwest wheat
growers plan. The Farm
Bureau pushed its plan for
letting the open market take
over setting support levels.
The level would be 90 per
cent of the average price of
the three previous years. This
would lower supports con
siderably. Again, concessions were
made to Southerners. Cotton
and rice acreage increases
would be allowed. And no
acreage allotments would be
observed for corn at all. No
change was made in the wool
act, which picked up western
votes. A price support floor
of 60 per cent was inserted,
which was what Benson want
ed in the first place. This plan
got through the Senate in
July, 67-11, with Sens. Wayne
Morse and Richard L. Neu
berger (D-Ore.), opposing it.
Stuck With Parity
The -House Agriculture
Committee, under the pres
sure of the Senate retreat
from high supports, stuck
with the parity system but
installed a stepdown arrange
ment that would lower sup
ports on cotton and rice to
65 per cent by 1962. Corn
growers were to be allowed
to vote later this year whether
they want the present pro
gram with acreage controls
or the "market price for
mula" with acreage increases.
Speaker Sam Rayburn
called this bill up under sus
pension of House rules last
week, which mean it needed
a two-thirds vote to pass but
was not open for amendment.
The reason for this procedure
was to avoid its being loaded
down with other provisions.
It failed to get the necessary
votes. Reps. Al Ullman and
Charles O. Porter supported
it. Reps. Edith Green and
Walter Norblad opposed it.
The end of farm legislating
for this year was one of con
fusion, but the farm bloc
clearly no longer in control
of its own destiny.

know that this wicked state

for Russian bears and that
at the World's Fair in Brus
sels, Belgium, for all the
world to see? Aren't good,
old native American bears
good enough for gold old Am
ericans and pioneer Oregon
ians? And to think that some
of these Oregonians have lab
elled poor Mr. Porter, our
honest, hard-working Repre
sentative in Congress, Com
munist? The fact that the
South Americans like Mr.
Porter and don't like Mr. Nix

it? Why, I like Mr. Porter my-

merely for "cessation of con

The 15-nation group said,
"Radioactive contamination of
the environment resulting
from explosions of nuclear
weapons constitutes a grow

radiation levels.
"This involves new and

control of the exposed person."
Matter of Fact hv
THE ROT GOES ON
Washington in its incor
rigible way, the Administra
tion has been trying to tell
the country that everything
will turn out
for the best
in the Middle
East. Mean
while the Ad-
m i n istration
is really
sweating with
fear that ev
erything will
shortly turn
Joseph Alsop
worse. The
out for the
signs of more
trouble ahead may be item
lzed as follows:
ITEM: Apparently at the
haughty request of Gamal
Abdel Nasser, King Saud of
Saudi Arabia and his brother-
Prime Minister, Crown
Prince Faisal, have just re
ceived the Chief of Staff of
the Egyptian army, Gen.
Hakim Amer, at the royal
summer palace in the hills, at
Taif.
It is known that the main
subject of discussion was the
return of an Egyptian mili
tary mission to Saudi Arabia,
for the ostensible purpose of
training the Saudi army. The
former mission was ejected
from Saudi Arabia after the
Egyptian military attache
was caught, red-handed, or
ganizing terrorist groups for
the overthrow of King Saud's
government. It is further
known that Gen. Hakim
Amer paid hardly more than
a courtesy call on the king.
Almost all his time was spent
with the crown prince, who
has been the real ruler of
Saudi Arabia ever since the
king's virtual abdication was
forced by Nasser's customary
propaganda - and - conspiracy
pressures.
TT SEEMS highly likely,
therefore, that the Egyp
tian military mission will
soon rejoin the Saudi army.
In this event, Saudi Arabia's
days of comparative inde
pendence are almost certain
ly numbered, and the trans
formation of the Saudi realm
into another Nasser province
must eventually be expected.
This reading of the Saudi
signs is made more likely by
the further fact that King
Saud's most anti-Western for
eign affairs adviser, Sheikh
Yussuf Yassin, is on his way
to Cairo. i
ITEM: Egypt's vulnerable
neighbors to the south and
west, the Sudan and Libya,
have been subjected to the
most extreme and flagrant
propaganda - and - conspiracy
pressures in the last two days.
In both countries, the situa
tion is rated as precarious at
best.
A Nasser thiumph in the
Sudan will open interior Af
rica to Nasser and the Krem
lin. A Nasser triumph in
Libya will effectively rule
out any peaceable settlement
between France, Tunisia, Mo
rocco and the Moslem popu
lation of Algeria. The Amer
ican Strategic Air Com
mand's most important single
overseas base, Wheelus Field,
will also be lost ' if Nasser
wins Libya. The same theat,
self. Do you think that, not
having rich friends to give
him a vicuna coat and Orien
tal rug, that Mr. Porter will
appear in the best that he is
able to afford a bear-skin
coat or use a bear-skin rug?
Do you think that those Rus
sian bears were indoctrinated
before they were traded im
agine, traded to Oregon for
our honest, dam-building and
often damned Oregon beav
ers? Do you realize that those
Russian bear cubs are making
themselves right at home " in
an Oregon zoo and indoctri
nating the other animals?
Don't you think those Russian
bears' should be sent right
back to Siberia or at least to
Alaska Remember Rudyard
Kipling's warning about the
bear that walks like a man?
Don't you think an FBI man
should be sent, out here im
mediately to watch these Rus
sian bears and see if any of
them start walking or acting
like men? Anyway, they
couldn't act any worse than
men. That's one comfort.
I'm afraid Mr. Khrushchev
has won another diplomatic
victory and that outside the
UN. Please, please, Mr. Eis
enhower send an Un-American
Committee out here right
away to interrogate these Rus
sian bears. Between Russian,
(not good, old native Ameri
can) bears and space flying
dogs, I can hardly bear it,
doggone it.

Joseph Alsop
of course, hangs over the
Dahran air base in Saudi
Arabia, which is not used by
SAC but is invaluable for our
world air transport plan.
ITEM: The position in Jor
dan is so critical that it may
perhaps erupt in trouble, or
even end in a surrender, be
fore these words are printed.
Not so very long ago, Presi
dent Eisenhower was declar
ing that the "security of Jor
dan" was essential to the
United States. Now the Brit
ish and American govern
ments are anxiously talking
about the need for King Hus
sein to abandon his little
country, which his naked
courage saved from Nasser
and the local Communists
only 15 months ago.
The idea is for vKing Hus
sein to announce that he is
leaving the country (presum
ably in the same aircraft with
the British paratroopers who
are there now), so that his
people can hold a "free plebi
scite." The Jordanians will
be ironically offered the
chance to invite their king
back if they choose. So the
surrender of Jordan will be
gracefully covered up if this
scheme is adopted.
rpHE reasons for discussing
this extraordinary scheme
are highly practical. All Jor
dan's borders are now closed,
and there is no access to the
country except through the
mud-hut port of Aqaba and
by American transport air
craft over-flying Israel. The
overflights of Israel are the
only real means of supplying
the 2,000 British paratroopers
sent to guard Hussein against
the conspiracy. After receiv
ing a grossly threatening So
viet note, the Israelis recent
ly withdrew permission for
the overflights. In answer to
strong U.S. protests, they
have now allowed the over
flights to continue, but "only
for a few days."
Hence the Jordanian posi
tion is literally untenable for
the long pull, unless meas
ures are taken to break the
military blockade of Jordan
that has been imposed by
Egypt's Syrian province, the
new Iraqi government and
Saudi Arabia. A partial with
drawal of U.S. Marines from
Lebanon has not started as
yet, solely because of the des
perate need to provide a kind
of cover for the British
troops in Jordan.
In short, the rot in the Mid
dle East is proceeding more
rapidly than ever. This was,
of course, certain to happen
when the British and Ameri
can governments took only
the phoniest half Measures to
stop the rot that began in
Baghdad,

In Oakland, a 17-year-old
youth was visiting a friend. In
the course of the visit he
plucked a revolver from a
holster hanging on a wall,
flipped out the cylinder and
spun it. It was empty.
He put a cartridge in one
of the chambers, snapped the
cylinder into place, put the
muzzle to his right temple and
remarked casually: "I think
I'll play Russian roulette."
He pulled the trigger once,
and nothing happened. He
pulled it AGAIN. That time
was IT. He died instantly.
WHY did he do it?

Editorial Comment
NEW A.M.A. PAPER 1
Undaunted by the difficul
ties which have confronted
publications, both magazines
and newspapers, the Ameri
can Medical association is
starting a new publishing ven
ture. For years it has publish
ed its Journal, a weekly de
voted to news of medical sci
ence and of the medical pro
fession. Now it is launching
"The AMA News" a semi
weekly addressed to its ."cap
tive audience" of over 200,000
physicians plus many in relat
ed health activities.
Its advance advertising, ad
dressed primarily to the ad
vertising agencies, emphasizes
two things: the audience "that
represents a combined annual
income of over three and a
third billion dollars" and that
.the News will accept "no ad
vertisements that include
claims pertaining to the health
of people." In justifying the
publication the ad describes
the physician as a "man in
motion" "with professional
duties that keep him on the go
most of the day and night, the
doctor has little time for TV,
radio, or reading outside of
his own profession." So this
publication, which is designed
"to fill his need for news per
tinent to the medical commu
nity" will undertake to "pre
sent the news as the doctors
want to read it concise, load
ed with facts, giving the med
ical angles."
In view of its sponsorship
by the AMA thepaper should
be a success financially. The
association can finance it over
the initial period, and pick up
the tabs if income falls short
of expenses in the future. But
the story in the prospectus is
rather damaging to the medi
cal profession: no time to get
information from the estab
lished channels of communi
cation TV, radio or outside
reading. This, helps explain
why the doctors have such dif
ficulty with their "public re
lations." They live an isolat
ed life: home, office, hospitals,
some house calls; but except
at home, dealing always with
the ill or those aiding in car
ing for the ill. It is a hard life,
energy-consuming, calling for

The last thing that doctors
need is another house organ

"the medical angles." They
need a better balanced read
