Syria Doubts
UN Action
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. i
Diplomats expressed doubt today
that Syria could gel the Security
Cornell to meet her demands that
Israel be ousted from tne U.N. and
penalized heavily lor the Dec. 11
Galilee attack.
The usual resolution of censure
and appeal for negotiations ap
peared a more likely result.
Chief Syrian Delegate Ahmed
Shukairy placed a seven-point res
olution before the council last night
after insisting the time had come
for punitive measures to check
what he called further Israeli
"aggression" against Arab states.
Observers pointed out, however,
that Syria does not belong to the
council and the 11-nation body can
act on a resolution only on a mem
ber's request.
Informed sources said Shukairy
had asked the Russians to sponsor
his proposal, but that the Soviet'
would agree only to urge council
consideration.
Tills aroused speculation the Rus
sians, who have leveled tne strong
est criticism of the latest Israel
Attacks yet heard from a council
member, might come up with a
resolution of their own
The Western Big Three are ex-
tiected to bring in the resolution
: expressing cet.ure and . appealing
for negotiations.
. After listening to more than an
" hour of charges and counter
charges from both Syria and Israel
Council President Sir Leslie Munro
of New Zealand called an indefin
ite adjournment and voiced hope
the two countries would keep the
peace, at least during Christmas
week.
By the time It meets again
probably after Jan. 1, the council
will have had time to study claims
from the two sides 'as well as the
report from the U.N. Palestine
truce chief. MaJ. Gen. E. L. M.
Burns, warning that further Is
raeli reprisals could touch off a
full-scale war.
Burns' report blamed Israel for
violation of the Israeli-Syrian armi
stice. It said 56 Syrians and six
Israelis perished in Israel s Dec.
II raid on Syrian posts along the
northeast shore of the Sea of
Galilee.

Bid For Nevada Land Grab
LAKE VIEW The hearing on
the application of the U.S. Navy
to withdraw upwards of two mil
lion acres of public domain in
northwestern Nevada for a mili
tary reservation has been post
poned, according to Forrest Coop
er, Lakeview. He is attorney for
property owners in the area and

Cooper returned this week from
ICC Scores
Rate Rules
WASHINGTON m The Inter
state Commerce Commission
(ICC) said Friday it "seriously
questions the prudence" of pro
posed curtailments of its powers to
regulate rates in the transporta
tion field.
In its first public comment on
tne report of President Elscnhow-
er's Cabinet Committee on Trans
portation,- released by the White
House last April, the ICC assert
ed:
"Rcoort to the laws of the jungle
with competition in full play will
not produce the desired transpor
tat ion system."
In general, the Cabinet Commit
tee recommended less ICC regula
tion oi rates and more ICC iegu
lation of segments of the transpor
tation picture not now subject to
its supervision among them barge
movements of bulk commodities
private motor freight carriers, and
contract freight truckers.
The committee lisled as its No
1 objective "Increased reliance on
competitive forces of transporta
tion in rate making."
Among other things, the ICC
would be permitted to fix only
maximum ana minimum rates.
rather than piecise rates, and its
present powers to delav their ef
fectiveness would be curbed sharp
ly, ine report, was welcomed bv
railroad interests, and sharply
criticized by truckers and others

Marines Clean
Woman's Cur
LOS ANGELES W Mrs. Helen
Olds saw several young men wash
ing a car yesterday, another clean
job parked behind It.
Young fellows trying to earn ex
tra Christmas money, she thought.
And because her car needed warn
ing she stopped and asked it they'd
like to do the joo lor, say 51.50.
They would, they said..
An hour later one oi - tne men
brought the spanking clean car to
her nearby home. He took the
trouble to sweep up some broken
glass m her driveway.
But when she offered him SI. Ml
plus a quarter tip, he refused to
take the money.
"Why?" she asked. -
"Well, ma'am," he said, "we're
all Marines, Just back from Korea.
Were on our - way home to In
dianapolis; which we hivm'l seen
since 1949. We're staying with
friends up the . street- during our
layover. Everyone in the neighbor
hood hus been so nice to us we
thougnt we'd like to give them a
Christmas present. And the only
thing we could Ihink of that we
could afford was to wash cars
"Meiry Christmas, ma'am."
Washington, D.C., where he was
informed by Douglas McKav, sec
retary of interior, that action upon
all pending applications for with
drawals by all federal agencies
will be held Up until Congress had
a chance to make a thorough in
vestigation and enact legislation
wnicn win regulate a dedication
oi natural resources involved in
such requests.
Chairman Clair Engle of Cali
fornia, of the House Interior Com
mittee, has arranged to have As
sistant Secretary Wesley D'Ewart
appear before his committee on
January 4 to give an inventory of
the millions of acres of grass,
water, wildlife and minerals which
are looked up in existing public
iana witnorawais and especially
those heretofore made by the de
partment of defense. Cooper said.
, The hearing will be followed bv
witnesses who will outline the de
partment's present and future
needs together with their views on
ways and means of insiitutlni a
rotation oi use program by two
or more branches of the mllltarv
service on the millions of acres
of western public lands which are
currently locked In military reser
vations but which have not been
used for upwards of five years
Tne recent announcement bv
the Navy that It is spending sev
eral million dollars to rebuild the
Klamath Falls Air Force base, aft
er wnicn it win oe loaned to and
activated by the Air Force, pre
sents an example of close coordi
nation which. If extended through
out tne 11 western states, should
release to the citizens, millions of
acres which are now idle, Cooper
commented.
Early in February. Conaressman
Engle's committee is expected to
near witnesses representing such
organizations as the national re
gional wildlife groups. Western
range livestock individuals, com
mercial banks, mortgage credit
Institutions, the National Reclama
lion Association, the American
Farm Bureau Association, cham
bers of commerce of the U.S.. and
an interstate association of public
land counties as well as witnesses
for northeastern California and
northwestern Nevada.
It is hoped that out of these
hearings will develop legislation
that will fully protect the public
interest in natural resources In
volved In public land renuest with
drawals and which will establish
a puonc policy that will reoulre
multiple or rotational use of exist
ing military reservations by two
or more branches of defense plus
periodical examination of such
need for these reservations. Coop
er aaaro.
