"com? U OF OREGON LIBRARY E'J3S:i2, ORE. In The. Day's lews WKtKBKKSi flwflf h Jonon' By FRANK JENKINS Some big questions: What's REALLY cooking in the Middle East? Why this sudden outburst in Iraq that threatens the uneasv peace of the world'' What is it alt about? What lies back o it? I wouldn't know. But I'd like to quote here a statement issued on the day after the Iraq revolt (which triggered the sending of our Marines to Lebanon i by Mr. Mohammed T. Mehdi, who is the director of the Arab Information Center in San Francisco. In his statement, Mr. Mehdi said: "The military coup in Iraq must not be construed as a pro-communist or anti-West movement. The revolt was the necessary outcome of the internal situation in Iraq. It must be seen as a part of the Arab struggle to achieve freedom, independence and unity." He added: ' "The strongest barrier against communism in the Middle East is Arab nationalism," and in his statement he expressed the hope that America will cultivate Arab nationalism and support the Arab desire to be free and united. He concluded: "Arab nationalism is comple mentary to American national in terest. An independent, united Arab world will be a great bul wark against communism." That is to say: What the Arabs want is to run their own affairs in that part of the world which Ihey have re garded as THEIRS for nearly a thousand years. They are fed up with being run by the British and the French. They have NO DESIRE to be run by coiflmunist Russia. They just want to RUN THEIR OWN SHEBANG as we did when we issued our Declaration of In dependence and went to war to back it up. He may be right. He may be sincere. If so, who are we to oppose the desire of (he Arab peoples to run their own affairs in that part of the world which they regard as theirs? Vote Due For Rights Bill WASHINGTON (AP)-A contro versial states rights bill reached the voting stage in the. House to day, with the opposition apparent ly heavily outnumbered. Backers of the court-curbing measure predicted passage by a margin of 2-1 or better, while op ponents pinned their fading hopes on an amendment to prevent the bill from, being retroactive. There was a growing likelihood, though, that the bill would never become law. It hasn't been con sidered by the Senate, which has a full docket for the remaining weeks of this session. Two days of House debate also have brought hints of a veto because of Justice and Labor Department opposition. The unusually brief bill it's 74 words long says in effect that when there are state and federal laws dealing with the same sub ject, the federal law doesn't su persede the state act unless there is a direct and irreconcilahle con flict or unless Congress, when en acting the federal law, expressly gave it a priority. Because few federal laws spe cifically pre-empt state acts on the same subjects, opponents of the bill contend it could affect hundreds of federal statutes en acted during past years. They con lend it could be used by Southern states to circumvent the Supreme Court integration decision and could produce a wave of state la bor laws. hk 4 -i 4 - 1 MIL k ,.v t - mSjfMl I ? . . 7 J I ' TOTAL MAN APPROACH to disease and medical research is the name of a new com mittee to be included in this year's United Fund campaign which will have budfet of $5,410 for allocation to the Medical Research Foundation of the University of Orgon Medical School. jrmed at the result of a study by a special citizen's committee, the group was repreiented by A.

Rut officials said the United SLalcS'-has decided against send ing U.S. troops to Jordan at least lor the lime being. State Department press chief Lincoln White, under questioning put it on the record: "There is no plan for United states troops to go into Jordan This does not seem warranted at this time." White said he was aware of a report attributed to the Jordan ian ambassador in London that the United States had granted Jordan's request for direct mili tary aid, but he said he stood on his statement and understood the Jordanian government had. been advised of the decision. Secretary of State Dulles and British Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd discussed the Middle East crisis, including troop movements into Jordan. British Prime Minister Macmil Ian had disclosed to the House of Commons that Jordan's young King Hussein had asked troops not only from Britain but also from the Inited States. At the State Department, of fi cials reported the Hussein appeal had been considered and under present circumstances in the Mid die East it was the U.S. govern ment view that United Slates in tervention is "unwarranted" ir Jordan. inrratirmrriihr I .n iv Wm ml FALLS, OREGON, THURSDAY, JULY 17, 1938 . Telephone TU 4-8111 Hope Fades In Congress UN Will Replace Troops WASHINGTON (AP) Hope dwindled in Congress today that the United States can depend up on the Lrnited Nations to supplant the Marines in Lebanon with an international police force. Sen. Hubert Humphrey D- Minn, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and a former U. N. delegate, said he thinks the chance of such action has been reduced because of the attitude taken by Secretary Gen eral Dag Hammarskjold. llammarskjold said yesterday the U. N. watchdog team now in Lebanon can prevent outside aid Irom reaching rebels in that coun trya statement quickly inter preted as undercutting the V. S position. The U. N.

A Soviet Chief To OK Space Agency WASHINGTON (AP) Legisla tion creating a new civilian agen cy to coordinate nonmilitary prob Icms of space exploration is await ing President Eisenhower's signa turc. , Eisenhower is almost certain to sign it. The bill, passed in quick succession by both House and Senate yesterday, gives Eisenhow er practically all he requested in an agency to supervise civilian space age efforts. The bill, a compromise of Sen ate and House space measures puts the new space agency under the direct control of the 'Presi dent. He would be advised by an eight-member council, including three experts outside the federal government. Under the bill, the Pentagon will continue to control space ac tivities connected with national defense, with the President set tling any. disputes between the ci vilian agency and the Defense Department. hiwij Jff No. 612 veto is considered certain. Sen. Styles Bridges ift-NH) said in a separate interview Hammar skjold's statement was damaging to this country s effort to transfer security responsibility to an inter national force. Bridges, senior member of the Senate Armed Services Commit tee, said sarcastically that "Ham murskjold is being about as much help to us as he has in some past instances. He did not elhoratc. Sen. 11. Alexander Smith (R-NJ) foreign relations committee man, said he hasn't given up' hope that the U. N. General Assembly will support a police force resolu tion even if it is blocked in the Security Council by a Soviet vein Undersecretary of Stale Heri.-i was reported to have been ques tioned about (he U. N. situation in a closed session of the foreign relations group yesterday. Humphrey, one of those who sat in on the session, voiced the per sonal opinion that the United States is in an unfortunate posi tion in its appeal to the interna tional organization. If we were going to send in .Marines, -we should have done it before the U.N. observer team. which we helped set up, reported that there was no outside aggres sion against Lebanon," he said. We are in Lebanon primarily because of what happened in Iraq. 1 don't think we had any evidence there was going to be an overt attack on Lebanon although the internal revolt there was aid ed and abetted by Cairo and Mos cow." But Smith contended "there was no alternative to the Presi dent's action." Sen. William F. Knowland (R- Calif) said the United Slates is net going to be deterred, in its course by any Soviet threats such as that voiced by Soviet U.N. delegate Arkady A. Sobolev. So- holev called for withdrawal of U. S. troops and said the Soviet Union reserves freedom ot action in an area it deems vital to its own security.

Airborne Troops Leave NATO Line ADANA, Turkey (AP) A crack force of more than 1 .000 U.S. paratroopers rested on their weapons Thursday, awaiting or ders for their next move if any in the angry Middle East. About 24 hours ago, this air borne task lorce from the U.S. 4lh Division was more than 1.400 miles away at its base near .Mu nich. Germany. The combat-ready paratroopers or most of them had no idea where they were going when they were hustled aboard trans port planes. They joked about the Lloyd Flies To Capital For Parley WASHINGTON (AP) British Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd flies into Washington today to confer with Secretary of State Dulles and other top officials on new moves in the Middle East crisis. The possibility of sending West ern troops into Jordan was one of the subjects expected to be dis cussed. A second kev issue due to be decided was what policy the two Allied governments should adopt toward the revolutionary, pro- Nasser regime in Iraq. Essentially 'he question before Lloyd and Dulles was whether to seek ways to upset the revolutionaries or to accept their control ot Iraq Reports persisted in diplomatic quarters here that Jordan had asked the United States to send troops to that country just as it has already sent troops into Leb anon. Since pro-Western King Hussein has been a repeated target ot re volt attempts by elements friendly In President Gamal Ahdel Nasser of the United Arab Republic, the impression among responsible of ficials here is that British or American forces or both will shortly move into Jordan. What Britain and the United States do with respect to Jordan will almost certainly be linked with what Dulirs and Lloyd de cide on about a policy toward Iraq. The nature of (he links is already apparent in developments of the last 24 hours in the general Middle East crisis.

Unofficial reports said more than 50 Air Force transports were needed for the men and their rifles, bazookas, jeeps, food and ammunition. 1 he landing of the task force caught this Turkish-U.S. air base somewhat unprepared. Some staff officers of Ihe task force had lu sleep in tents with out cots. Crews of the transport planes slept in their planes. The paratroopers broke out their sleeping bags and bedded down in large circles around the planes. Commander of the task force is Brig. Gen. James E. Roberts of the U.S. Air Force in Ger many. The flight was made under tense and hurried conditions. Tlte para troopers had no food, with the exception of chocolates, during the six hours in the air.

Nose Cone Of Jupiter Orb Is Recovered CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) The Army blasted a mighty Jupiter intermediate-range ballis tic missile 1.500 miles across the Atlantic today and recovered its nose cone after a successful re entry from space. The recovery of the cone was announced about two hours afler Ihe missile thundered alnft. II was Ihe second lime a full- scale IRBM nose cone survived Ihe fiery dive from space through the earth s atmosphere at a speed of 10,000 m.p.h.. and was recov ered. The Army's missile chief, Dr. Wernher von Braun, observed the spectacular launching. Officials announced that the re covery today and the first one May 18 "affirmed that Army mis-silfc- men have found a satisfac tory solution to the war head pro tection problem." The Jupiter, which is expected to provide the first stage for the Army's moon rocket, climbed straight up throwing off a fhick stream of while flame that illum inated the Florida sky for miles. After 70 seconds, Ihe missile moved toward a horizontal course and drove toward the horizon. The (M-foot rocket was visible for more than 1.1 minutes, much longer than usual, as it reflected the rays of the rising sun. The cone was instrumented to separate from the missile body somewhere in outer space. Tlte cone appeared to be Ihe same size as its 3.(HK) milc prede cessor which missile experts say helped solve the intermediate range re-entry problem. t v & ' I Jtf i J? ' ' ' " JM 1 . , .

Two hours alter the demonstra tors marched up in well organized columns there had been no vio lence. A cordon of Soviet police thrown in front of the Embassy nearly an hour after the demonstration started kept the surging crowd at bay. The gales of Ihe Embassy itself were barred as the first colu;nn appeared. The demonstration which ap pcared perfectly organized was similar to another staged outside the Embassy June 25. Soviet demonstrators then said Ihey were protesting "hostile provocations" against the offices of the Soviet delegation at the United Nations. Thursday's demonstration came less than 24 hours alter the Soviet government denounced the land ing of U.S. Marines in Lebanon as an act of aggression. The demonstrators drove up in trucks and marched up In columns carrying banners saying Hands Off the Arab Middle East" and "Down With Imperialists And Interventionists."

Other British warships and fighting men were gathered in a big buildup of power in the Eastern Mediterranean. Young King Hussein of Jordan called for help against a mount ing wave of anti-Western Arab na tionalism that dethroned and killed his cousin. Faisal II, in Iraq Monday. Britain reacted at once, flying in paratroopers from Cyprus. Gov ernment sources in London said Israel had given Britain special permission to fly the paratroop ers over Israeli territory. Hussein declared "evil agents" had begun to smuggle in arms and , ammunition from the Egyptian- controlled Gaza Strip and Syria to start a mutiny in Jordan. He charged that radios under Com munist control were urging Jor danians lo overthrow the legal au thorities. Prime Minister Macmillan of Britain said the British troops were flown to Jordan to help fore stall a plot scheduled to explode Thursday against Hussein's gov ernment. He told Parliament the King also had appealed to the United States for help. Macmillan accused President Nasser's United Arab Republic (U.A.R.) of being behind the plot against Hussein. He said Jordan ians had spotted 'Syrian troops moving toward Jordan's borders. Close on the heels of Hussein's broadcast came a call from the Iraqi rebel-controlled radio in Baghdad for Jordanians to over throw their monarch. Baghdad said Hussein "is dis rupting our effort to get rid of imperialism" and that Jordan is being occupied by "the forces of imperialism. The Iraqi rebels have proclaimed their solidarity with Nasser and his republic of Egypt and Syria. Nasser, traveling home by yacht from conferences with Pres ident Tito in Yugoslavia, issued a statement declaring the U.S. land ings in Lebanon were a danger lo Middle East peace." President Camillc Chamoun of Lebanon had asked the United States for mili tary help and accused the U.A.R. of massive support for rebels fighting his pro-Western government.- -- Nasser fired off personal mes sages lo Prime Minister Nehru of India, Premier Chou En-Lai of Red China and President Sukarno of Indonesia. Opposition In flic Marine land ings in Lebanon developed among some members of (he Beirut Parliament normally friendly to the West. Speaker Adel Osscyran said many of the lawmakers believed the Marine landing infringe on Lebanon s sovereignly and com plained they were not consulted in advance. King Hussein told his police that the request for outside troops had been authorized at an emergency session of Parliament. The news caused no excitement in Amman. The king said the foreign troops were in Jordan as "a temporary measure lo protect our borders from enemies circling us In every direction." He said Ihey had been asked in under Article 51 of the U.N. Charier. THE HILL, YOU SAY PITTSBURGH (AP) Two young Catholic seminarians who traveled l.ono miles by bicycle to Quebec.
