In The-

By FRANK JENKINS
The Lebanon ruckus In a nut
shell: The .Marines have landed and
the situation is. SO FAR well in
hand.
That is to say:
There has been no shooting
Egypt accuses the U.S. of "male
Ing the biggest blunder in its his
tory. The government-dominated
Cairo press calls the United States
the NUMBER ONE ENEMY of
Arab nationalism.
Egypt joins Russia in calling the
landing a "flagrant violation of
the U.N. charter.
Rut -
Russia has so far sent in no
"volunteers."
In other words:
Russia isn't YET ready to go to
war.
That knowledge is worth some
thing.
i This morning's dispatches tell
us that in Western Europe the re
action to American intervention in
Lebanon can be summed up in
these words: GENERALLY FA
VORABLE. BUT WORRIED.
The British and Turkish govern
ments were the only ones to an
nounce complete approval of the
American action. In other NATO
capitals, officials are taking a
hands-off view. They seem to re
gard the landings as a necessary
evil in which they prefer not to
be involved.
Their idea appears to be: "Let
Uncle Sam do it, but count us
out." It is worth remembering that
that is the way our European
friends and allies felt about Korea.
Here at home, stocks in New
York rose fractions to more than
three points in a vigorous exten
sion of Tuesday's late rally. The
financial wires report this morn
ing that the rise, taking in virtual
ly all sections of the market, re
flected evident approval of the
strong Middle' East stand, along
with a number of favorable busi
ness news developments.
The grain markets, which swung
upward early in the week, are
tending to case off. On general
averages, over the long years, the
slock markets tend to fall off and
the grain markets tend to rise on
news indicating that shooting war
Is imminent.
Here's a guess:
I think the American people
agree that probably it bad to be
done, but they wish it hadn't. They
are getting tired of policing the
world. ....
Pensions
Stressed
DETROIT (API - The United
Aulo Workers are stressing pen
sions in its current negotiations
with the car makers on new con
tracts.
This was disclosed by Ken Ban
non, director of the union's Ford
Department.
Bannon said union negotiators
again brought up the question of
pension improvements in all-day
sessions with Ford yesterday.
The union is demanding cost-of-
living allowances for retired work
ers on pensions and also changes
in the pension plan to encourage
retirement of employes- at age 60
The union also wants a voice in
how Ford, General .Motors and
Chrysler pension funds, totaling
nearly a billion dollars, are in
vested.
The union reported no progress
towards wage settlements in nego
tiations with all three companies
Further sessions were scheduled
today.

last request of the one-time Alas

Dag Says U.N.
Team Can Stop
Lebanon Rebs
UNITED NATIONS. N.Y. (API
Secretary General Dag Hammar-
skjold said Wednesday the U. N.
watchdog team now in Lebanon
can do the job of stopping outside
aid to Lebanese rebels.
U.N. diplomats interpreted his
statement as a move to put the
skids under a U.S. proposal for an
international military force to
stabilize the strife-torn Middle
East country.
Hammarskjnld was said to be
annoyed by the landings of U: S.
Marines and by the U.S. plan for
a new security force.
His fellow countryman, Gunnar
V. Jarring of Sweden, was report
ed consulting other delegations on
a proposal that the U.N. observer
group be withdrawn .as a result
of the American intervention.
Jarring was scheduled to ad
dress the security council Wednes
day afternoon, but he told a re
porter he still had not decided
whether he would submit the re
ported plan.
In any event, it seemed unlike
ly that such a proposal would get
the necessary seven votes for ap
proval. The same prospect faced
a Soviet demand for the withdraw
al of the U.S. Marines.
The secretary general ad
dressed the 11-n a t i o n Security
Council briefly just before U. S.
Delegate Henry Cabot Lodge for
mally called for the establishment
of a security force to supplement
the U.N. observer group now in
Lebanon.
In his speech Lodge commended
the work of the observer group
but said the proposed internation
al force was intended to give it
added strength.
Lodge repeated the U.S. promise
to withdraw American forces as
Rebels Start
Gl's Release
GUANTANAMO, Cuba (AP)
Cuban rebels have finally started
releasing the rest of the North
Americans they kidnaped. Seven
U.S. servicemen were freed yes
terday and others of the 22 still
held were expected to be returned
today.
The seven bearded men re
leased were in good condition and
high spirits as they stepped from
two helicopters at the U.S. Navy
base on Guantanamo Bay. All
said Fidel Castro's men treated
them well during their three
weeks in the rebels' jungle camps.
The returnees said Ihey under
stood four or five more service
men would be freed each day.
They had been scheduled to start
coming out of the east Cuban
mountains Monday but apparently
bad weather delayed transporting
tnem to tne pickup point.
The rebels are willing and
anxious to get rid of all the men
because they wish to avoid endan
gering any of the captives' lives,"
said Storekeeper L. C. Robert
Gibson of Chattahoochee. Fla.
U.S. Consuls Park Wollam and
Robert Wiecha, who have been
negotiating with the rebels for re
turn of the captives, remained in
the mountains to facilitate release
of the rest.
The rebels between June 26 and
July 1 kidnaped 30 U.S. service
men, 17 American civilians and .1
Canadians. All the civilians and
one Navy airman were freed in
small batches between July 2 and
July 11. but the delay in freeing
the bulk of the servicemen was
beginning to anger the Navy and
aroused concern for the safety of
the men.
Twenty-eight of the Marines and
sailors were on a bus seized by
13 heavily armed rebels June 27
between the Navy base and Guan
tanamo City. The Cuban bus driv
er also was released yesterday.
The 26 were kept together, Gib
son said. They spent most of the
time in mountains south of Bara
coa, near Cuba's eastern tip and
about 50 miles northeast of the
base.
The men said they were well
fed, though some got dysentery.
They were given medical treatment.

Soviets Call
For America
To Withdraw
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The .Soviet government called
on the United States Wednesday
to withdraw at once from Lebanon
and said Russia "cannot stand by
as a spectator."
Moscow Radio broadcast tne
government statement in Arabic
on the American landings in Leb
anon. Moscow said it considers the
situation in the Middle East "a
threat to world peace."
The Soviet government said it
"reserves for itself the right to
take the necessary measures to
protect peace and security."
In Washington a state Depart
ment spokesman, when told of the
Soviet threat, commented only "I
am sure the Soviet propaganda
pumps are going full blast."
The lorcign ollice at Moscow
denounced the U.S. intervention
and warned that the Kremlin re
serves the right to act "to halt
a dangerous situation near our
borders.
A spokesman who talked with
Moscow reporters accused the
United States of "piracy" in Leb
anon and said the Soviet Union
demands the United States cease
"armed intervention there.
The spokesman also said Pre
mier Nikita Khrushchev had mes
saged the new Iraqi regime of
fering a resumption of diplomatic
relations broken three years ago.
The spokesman charged the Ma
rine landing in Lebanon was an
act not only against the Lebanon
but against other peace-loving na
tions of the Middle East."
U. S. Ambassador Llewellyn
Thompson was summoned to the
Foreign Ministry just detore tne
news conference began, and hand
ed a copy of the statement.
The statement demanded tnai
the United States withdraw its
lorces from Lebanon and that the
U.N. Security Council act prompt
ly to end the "aggressive action
of the imperialists."
The statement linked the United
States. Britain, and Turkey, in re
sponsibility for creation of a dan
gerous situation in the Middle
East.
The Soviet note bristled with
condemnation of the United Stales
and its "rude intrusion" in affairs
of Middle East nations.
It made no threat of active re
taliation beyond saying that "the
Soviet Union states that its gov
ernment cannot remain indiffer
ent to the events creating serious
danger in this region adjacent to
her border and reserves the right
to take necessary measures to pre
serve peace and security."

WORLD SPOTLIGHT shifted today from the landing of American Marines in Lebanon
to the council chamber of the United Nations Security Council where resolutions by both
the United States and Soviet Russia were being discussed. Shown here is a general view
of the Security Council. Secretary Dag Hammarskjold refused a demand yesterday from
the revolutionary regime of Iraq to replace the present Iraq U. N. representative. The
two conflicting resolutions facing the Security Council consist of the Russian move to
demand withdrawal of American forces, and the American move to form an internation
al force' to replace U. S. Marines in Lebanon. NEA Photo

Secretary Lloyd
Capital Bound
LONDON (AP) Foreign Sec
retary Selwyn Lloyd is flying to
Washington Wednesday night for
conferences. He is reported to be
taking word that Britain stands
ready lo land forces in Jordan as
soon as King Hussein asks for
military help.
In the House of Commons
Wednesday Lloyd said he had
been invited to Washington by
Secretary of State Dulles, and
would go in order to keep in the
closest touch with the U.S. gov
ernment." Then, using a phrase that Prcsi-
d e n t Eisenhower emphasized
Tuesday, he said events that led
to the Baghdad revolt were part
of a sustained campaign of indi
rect aggression.
The aim, he said, is lo over

Lloyd announced Tuesday (hat
Britain backed U.S. intervention
in Lebanon. Wednesday he said
this had resulted in the rebels
there ordering a ceasefire.
Lloyd did not elaborale his re
marks or indicate the source of
his information. Qualified inform
ants said later the government
had no direct word of a cease
fire, and Lloyd's statement was
based on a British news agency
report. ,
As for Jordan, qualified inform
ants in London said the govern
ment almost certainly will respond
alfirmatively if its young king,
Hussein, asks for help. Up lo
Wednesday afternoon, he had not
done so hut Jordan had sounded
out the British as to whether air
and land forces would be avail
able if needed.
Old Age Plan
Benefits Eyed
WASHINGTON (AP) - An in
crease in old age Social Security
benefits, together with a hike in
the payroll lax, moved "today to
ward approval by the House Ways
and Means Committee.
It would mean an addition of in
per cent, or a minimum of $5, to
present Social Security pension
checks under proposals now re
portedly favored by committee
members.
The boost appeared certain to
get quick approval by House and
Senate. It would be in line with
an election-year pattern that has
produced fatter pension checks for
the old folks every two years since
1952.
Benefits now arc financed by a
payroll tax of 4'4 per cent, with
each worker and his employer
contributing 2'i per cent, on Ihe
worker's annual pay up to $4,200
a year.
Committee proposals would in
crease the tax to 2'j per cent for
worker and employer and the tax
able wage base to $4,800.

FALLS, OREGON, WEDNESDAY,
A-Measure
Okay Seen
WASHINGTON (AP) A $.166,-
679,000 atomic energy authoriza
tion bill double the size asked
by President Eisenhower was
assured Wednesday of final con
gressional approval.
The Senate passed the meas
ure late Tuesday without knock
ing out any of the projects ob-
lected to by the President, lhc
House, in acting on the bill Mon
day, also did not make any cut
in the money authorizations.
Conlerees hetween the two
branches will have to iron out
minor differences. But the money
total is certain to remain the
same.
The President had asked Con
iress to approve only a $193,379,-
000 authorization measure.
The Senate debate centered on
a provision which two Republi
cans Leverelt ballonslalt (Mass)
kand Eourke B. Hickcnlnoper (Io
wa) contended could put thoi
Atomic Energy Commission
squarely in the public power bus
iness.
But Saltonstall's amendment to
eliminate the provision was shout
ed down.
He sought lo knock out 25 mil
lion dollars of a 145 million au
thorization for a new plutonium
reactor to be built at the Hanford
Wash., AEC installation and also
language which would permit the
reactor to be converted to power
production.
The President had asked that
the entire 145 million be elimi
nated.
Sens. Clinlon P. Anderson (D
NM) and Henry M. Jackson (D
Wash), handling the bill, contend
cd that I here was a power short
age at Hanford and that any
cleclricily developed by Ihe new
reactor would be used there.
They said Ihe conversion could
not even be made without the fu
ture approval of Congress.
The two Democratic senalors in
sisted also that a new plutonium
reactor was badly needed because
Ihe present Hanford reactors are
14 years old and may have only
live more years of useful life.

The President has called the bill
one of the cornerstone measures

About 2.000 men occupied the

Stales lo withdraw at once. The
statement, issued in Moscow, said
Ihe Soviet Union reserved the

The pair are R. N. (Budi Ad-

The new assignments as lieuten

President Eisenhower told Con
gress and the nation late Tues
day that he would send into Leb
anon as much force as was re
quired to preserve that country'i
independence against indirect ag
gression from Moscow and Cairo.
In North America and at far
flung bases abroad meanwhile
Uniled States land, air and sea
forces were alerted for some kind
of counter stroke from either the
Soviet Union or Nasser's United
Arab Republic'
Eisenhower had said that his ac
tion in sending troops to Lebanon
might have very serious conse
quences. But the President said Ihe risk
had to be taken.
Marine Corps transports started
airlifting an unspecified number of
assault Marines from Cherry
Point, N. C, to the Mediterranean
area to back up those sent to Leb
anon. The Atlantic and Pacific fleets
were readied for action under
four-hour alert orders. The Stra
tegic Air Command put its nu
clear armed bomber forces in a
heightened slate of readiness.
While the President did not dis
cuss most of these precautionary
measures in his public pronounce
ments on the Middle East crisis,
he did make clear that he hoped
the action taken so far will be
sufficient lo support the govern
ment of Lebanon and that nation
independence.
"We hope lhat this result will
quickly be attained and that our
forces can be promptly with
drawn." ho said. "We must, how
ever, bo prepared to meet the sit
uation, whatever be the conse
quences." The Uniled Stales acted at tha
urgent request of President Ca
mille Chamoun of Lebanon. At
the same time, this country asked
the United Nations to set up an
international military force to
protect Lebanon's independence.
If this is done, U. S. troops would
be withdrawn.
The U. N. Security Council
meets today to consider the re
quest. Eisenhower compared his deci
sion to send U. S. troops with that
of President Truman in 1947 to
assist anti-Communist forces in
Greece. He likened the "pattern
of conquest" directed against Leb
anon to that by which the Com
munists look over CzcchoslovaHa
in 1948 and the mainland of China
in 1949, and tried in later years
lo take over Korea and Indochina.
