finally restricted to the Kingdom of Granada in

and Jew.
"1XHEN the Arabs combined, after a fashion,

century, the cementing force was an external one,
the Christian-manned Crusades. When Arab
lands fell to the non-Arab Turks, the racial dif
ference failed to become
in view of the religious bond of Mohammedan
ism. The forces that awakened Arab nationalism
in the 20th century were partly intellectual
Western ideas; partly political maneuvers
against Turkey by the World War T allies, then
their failure to create a unitary Arab state ; partly
racial hatred of the new state of Israel.
Even when the Arab League was founded in
1945, the Arab world was divided by Egyptian
and Hashemite claims for leadership. And if the
Hashemite dynasty is gone in Iraq and on the de
fensive in Jordan, any unifying Arab "conscious
ness of kind" may still have to reckon with a di
visive economic factor the oil riches possessed
by some Arab states and not by others. E.R.R.
Hurricane Month
About 40 per cent of all hurricanes occur in
the month of September. The so-called "hurricane
season" normally extends from June to Decem
ber.
The season so far and the phrase "so far"
should be underlined has been relatively harm
less. The U. S. Weather Bureau had reported
three tropical storms through late August, only
one, named Cleo, a hurricane. And that one,
while violent enough, stayed in the open Atlan
tic. The first 1958 tropical storm, Alma, hit the
Texas coast around Brownsville, June 15, but
did little damage. . Then came Becky, which
swirled far out into the Atlantic.
The U. S. Weather Bureau traditionally
names its tropical storms r.nd hurricanes after
women, perhaps because they are eye-taking, de
structive, and relatively unpredictable. The
names for this year, assigned long in advance, go
from Cleo to Daisy, Ella, Fifi, Gerda, and so on,
winding up with Zoma. No one can remember
when 26 hurricanes blew in a single year, so
Zorna will hardly be used this year nor even
the exotic Xrae and Yurith.
THE Weather Bureau on May 31, explained that
no long-range hurricane probability fore
casts would be made this year. These 30-day
warnings had been released on an experimental
basis in 1957 "at the request of newspapers and
shipping interests." This year, the Bureau con
tends, they are not being released primarily be
cause they are too open to misinterpretation.
The Bureau will, of course, continue its bul
letins on actual tropical storms and hurricanes
that appear to be forming, also its regular five
day forecasts. And its Hurricane Research Pro
ject will go on with hurricane-prediction studies.
The Bureau issues a special bulletin on any
storm of damaging intensity which potentially
could strike coastal areas. A tropical storm offic
ially becomes a hurricane when its wind velocity
exceeds 72 miles per hour. Hurricanes are milder
than tornadoes', but even so, they unleash in a day
energy equal to that of 20,000 atom bombs.
THE first of a chain of new "jumbo-size" ra
1 dar units the Weather Bureau hopes will im
prove forecasting should be in place at Miami in
December. With 31 of these on order, the so
called "hurricane coast" will have first priority,
immediately followed by
the flams states.
As for tornadoes, they have been relatively
few in number so far this year, upsetting predic
tions in some quarters of another bis: tornado
year. But these storms,
for all that their swath
and rarely extends for more than 16 miles, can
do unbelievable damage. So 1958 may not be
remembered so much as
does as the year when three twisters hit Wiscon
sin areas, killed 28 persons, and tore apart more
than $1 million farm and town property.
As for the "so far" in the second paragraph,
the Weather Bureau just isn't talking about the
rest of the hurricane season. E.R.R.

Matter of Fact
THE CATHOLIC
CANDIDATES
New York It seems a fair
bet that the New York Demo
crats will nominate former
Atomic Ener
gy Commis
sioner Thomas
Murray for
the Senate
seat that is
being vacated
by Irving
Ives.
The other
leading possi-
Jos!ph Alsop Dlilty is IN. I.
District Attorney Frank
Hogan.
Thomas K. Finletter wants
the job very badly, has
worked hard to "get it, and is
superlatively well equipped
for it. The real obstacle
fo Finletter's nomination is
the competing candidacy of
James A. Farley. This is true
despite the fact that Big Jim
-Farley has very little chance
of being nominated himself,
because of the old New York
state quarrels of the late
Roosevelt years.
To be blunt about it, the
New York Democrats do not
want Big Jim, but because
Big Jim is Irish and a Roman
Catholic, they do not want to
reject Big Jim without recog
nizing the large voting grorp
of Irish Catholics, who have
lately been drifting toward
the Republicans. Murray is
not only a member of Farley's
faith and race; he is also what
may be called a silk-curtain
Irishman, in the style of Sen.
John Kennedy of Massachu
setts; and this is another plus.
tpOR these highly practical
reasons, Murray, wh has
made no effort at all to get
the nomination, seems to have
a rather better chance than
Finletter, who has worked
like a nailer to be nominated.
For the same reason, Hogan
is likely to get the nod if
Murray does not. Everyone of
coursje piously denies that
these are the reasons for the
Murray and Hogan boom.
But they are the reasons, all
the same.
At the moment, moreover,
these reasons have a particu
lar interest, going beyond the
well - established American
habit of composing state tick
ets in a way that "recognizes"
the largest possible number of
religious and racial voting
groups. In brief, ,a Roman
Catholic is once again a ser
ious candidate for the Presi
dency itself, for the first time
in 30 years and for the sec
ond time in the entire history
of this country.
The New York story raises
the question, in other words,
whether Sen. Kennedy's na
tional candidacy will be
helped or hurt by his
relieion. which played such a
large role in the political for
tunes of the great Al bmitn.
This is a problem that every
student of the Democratic
form-sheet for 1960 argues
about in nrivate. This seems
like a good time to discuss it
straightforwardly in public.
i fttcr orolonced inauiry
among the professionals
of many states, tnis reporter
has reached the somewhat un
orthodox conclusion that the
same religious affiliation
which so handicapped Al
Smith will be a positive ad
vantage to Jack Kennedy.
In the first place, thanK
God, the country is still
ashamed of the campaign of
nreiudice that was waged
against Smith. If anything of
that sort is again attemptea,
it will win a catholic canm-
date more sympathy - votes
than it can cost in prejudice
votes. Sepnndlv. the Protestant
American view of the Catho
lic Church has greatly chang
ed in trio last, three decades.
Thirty years ago, for reasons

ethnic oast a sreat manv re

people were really troubled
because Al Smith was a Cath
olic. Some of these people
countenanced and even aided
the prejudice campaign waged
against Smith. This gave the
campaign ah impact it could
never have achieved, if it had
stayed, where it belonged, in
the sewers.
This kind of thing cannot
and will not happen again,
simply because the Catholic
Church is now recognized as
a conservative political force.
This so-called "better ele
ment" will not fight another
Catholic candidate as they
fought Smith, just because he
was a Catholic.
THIRDLY, and perhaps most
important of all, the troops
who were rallied by the cam
paign against Smith have all
but vanished from the Ameri
can political scene. In 1928,
the organized prohibitionists
could command the vote of a
large majority of Senators
and Representatives. You
have to be getting on a bit to
remember how the Congress
used to be intimidated by
Wayne B. Wheeler and Mrs.
Ella Poole, but these people
really did intimidate the Con
gress. They intimidated the Con
gress, in turn, mainly because
rural America in those days
was the countryside that pro
duced the Scopes trial. Now
adays, on the contrary, rural
America is not so enormously
different from small-town or
urban America. Nowadays, on
the farms of this country,
there are far more television
sets than backhouses. This
great material change has
brought with it an equally
great change of outlook.
Hence one cannot imagine
great numbers of our farming
people, even in the Protestant
South, rallying once again to
the "hate -the -Pope" battle
cry.
Meanwhile, every Ameri
can Catholic would very na
turally like to see the proof
that the White House is also
open to a member of the Ca
tholic faith. So there you have
the equation.

' I'm afraid we're going to
have to talk about the cost of

The National Industrial

of one percent in the cost of
living. This, it said, was the
first drop in 26 months.

anybody?
CONSIDER this:
These cost of living "in

fairs: Here's how they work:
A list of items entering into
the average cost of living of
the average American family
is compiled. A record of the
prices at which these items

At intervals (the usual in

Fresh Red Chinese Victory Seen in New
Cambodian Action; Pacts Seen Possible

Tokyo (UPD Fears are
heightening that Communist
China is on the verge of scor
ing a fresh victory in South
east Asia with the return to
Peiping of visiting Cambo
dian Premier Prince Noro
dom Sihanouk.
Sihanouk returned to Pei

three-day visit to China's in

' THE "NEW YORKERS"
Washington For years the
old - fashioned Republicans
over the country have looked
half in curios
ity and half
in deep dis
approval up
on the goings
on in their
party in New
York State. .
They are a
little like the
farmer who
uiiiiam s whit may once
visit an East Side night club
but will go away shaking his
head and muttering thanks
that no such establishment
operates where he, lives.
To the Old Guard from the
Middle West Republican
heartland, the phrase "New
York Republicans" means a
breed - apart and a breed
hardly better, really, than the
wretched Democrats.
But the "New York Re
publicans" ever since about
1940 have been the tail that
wags the Elephant. They,
with their Eastern-influenced
and relatively liberal allies,
have dominated five succes
sive national party conven
tions. FIVE times they have re
jected the claims of the
Old Guard and nominated
Presidential candidates from
among so-called "modern
Republicans. These candidates
have progressively joined
much of what they could not
lick the internationalist,
more-or-less welfare-state no
tions of the Democrats them-,
selves.
This was the process which
sn often and in the eyes of
the Old Guard so brutally
denied n'omination to one of
the most revered orthodox
Republican spokesman of this
century, the late Sen. Robert
A. Taft of Ohio.
Now, history is not merely
JENKINS
the National Industrial Con
ference Board might DIFFER
slightly from the list used by
the federal department that
compiles the government cost
of living figures.
That, in itself, could ac
count for the difference
shown in July.
A FTER all, the difference is
relatively small. Here's
what it amounts to:
According to the National
Industrial Conference board,
the cost of living dropped 0.1
per cent in july. According
to the federal figures, it
ROSE 0.2 per cent.
That is to say:
According to the NIBC in
dex, you saved TEN CENTS
on each $100 worth of these
items your purchased in July.
According to the government
index, each $100 worth of
these items cost you TWEN
TY CENTS MORE.
That's a difference of 30
cents on each $100 of these
items purchased by the "av
erage" American family. That
isn't TOO much to holler
about.
And
These indexes do have
their uses. They help to tell
us where we are going.
ONE more thought:
The cost of living is a
relative matter.
For example:
- H, in the month of July,
the average American family
had eaten LESS STEAK AND
mier -Chou En-Iai. But worse
still for the anti-Communist
nations of Asia, a strong pos
sibility also exists that some
loose military ties may also
be forged.
Sihanouk and his party
hav been receiving full red
carpet treatment from the
Chinese since their arrival.
This has been given full play
by the Communist press and
radio.
The really significant talks
between the Prince and the
Chinese leaders, however, are
thought to have taken place
on Aug. 17 just prior to Siha
nouk's departure for his
China visit.
The Communist radio men
tioned only that the talks
were held and the names of
those participating. With Si
hanouk's return to Peiping.

touches may be put on new
agreements between- the na
tions which will be disclosed
in a final communique at the
close of the Cambodian pre
mier's visit.
China already has given
considerable economic aid to
S. White
repeating itself in New York;
it is repeating itself at a
highly accelerated pace.
Nelson Rockefeller's success
in grasping the governor's
nomination represents in
some ways the most-unrelieved
defeat yet suffered by
the Old Guard. Even the still
young "father" of New York
Republicanism, Thomas E.
Dewey, always had at least
some political background
and at least some professional
understanding if hardly any
sympathy toward the ortho
dox old-timers.
V
"ROCKEFELLER, however.
1 has busied himself infin
itely more with international
and national problems than
with the affairs of the Repub
lican party. The Old Guard
suspects that he knows more
about the plans of the. Pandit
Nehru in India than he does
about any Republican court
house.
Most national politicians in
both parties see Rockefeller
as extremely unlikely to de
feat the sitting Democratic
governor, Averell Harriman.
They consider this scion of
the great, golden house of
Rockefeller to ' have been
given mainly the role of pick
ing up the" tab for running a
campaign in New York in a
tough, Democratic year.
All the same, the national
Old Guard can find no ade
quate comfort in this. For, in
the first place, Rockefeller
might just conceivably win.
If he did, he, would over
night become a great power
in the national Republican
party. He probably would
cast his weight on the side of
God knows how much public
spending and the like.
The Old Guard has learned
sadly to accept this kind of
thing in the Democrats. But
this is simply cannot bear in
any public man who calls
himself a Republican.
TlIOREOVER, even assum
" ing that Rockefeller
after Election Day holds the
distinction only of a defeated
GOP nominee, an uncomfort
able fact will yet remain.
This is that the "New. York
Republicans," far from show
ing any reconversion toward
ancient GOP doctrine, plain
ly are moving farther away
from it with each passing
year.
Rockefeller, after all, de
feated for the nomination a
man with a considerable
claim on all wings of the Re
publican party, Leonard W.
Hall. "Len" was and is a pro,
whereas Rockefeller is an un
abashed amateur.
Hall had ably served Presi
dent Eisenhower as chairman
of the Republican National
Committee a job for which
he has had, by the way, no
excessive thanks' from the
White House. He was no beau
ideal of the Old Guard. And
if even he, who had no more
than tolerable connections
with the Old Guard, could not
make it in New York, this
question is raised:
MORE HAMBURGER it
could have saved the 30 cents
difference involved in the
two indices.

cause pain that will produce
abnormally frantic bucking?
The plain fact is that it is
impossible to conduct a rodeo
without causing pain and
fright to animals. It is quite
evident Mr. Herring is either
naive or has no conception of
what constitutes cruelty and
brutality. And I can't under
stand why a humane officer
should white wash a public
commercial entertainment of
this nature.
