Two questions:
1. What of Nasser?
2. What of the Arab world?
Let's take Nasser apart first.
He started little. He wants to
be BIG. His easiest road to big
ness is to become the ruler of the
Arab world. That is his present
objective. He will stop at nothing
to ACHIEVE his objective.
But
If we are to deal with the Arab
world, the Arab world must have a
LEADER. It's hard to deal with a
mob. Maybe Nasser is the man we
need. Our job is to find out.
How are we to find out?
Keep your eye on this man Mur
phy. For days and days he has been
gunning for an interview with Nas
ser. He cooled his heels in waiting
rooms. But he finally got his in
terview. It lasted four hours. Com
ing away from it, he told the re
porters: "Our four-hour discussion
was very thorough, very friendly
and, from my point of view
VERY SATISFACTORY."
Robert Murphy is a PRACTICAL
diplomat. He talks common sense,
and people listen to him.
What of the Arab world?
Well-
We'd rather have the Arabs run
ning the Middle East than to have
the RUSSIANS running the Middle
East.
And-
We don't want to run it our
selves. That would be imperialism.
We Americans (meaning the
American people) want no truck
with imperialism. It isn't our dish.
Changing the subject
The Federal Prison Bureau re
ports this morning that more U.S.
adults were in prison at the end of
last year than EVER BEFORE IN
HISTORY.
Hmmmmm.
Is that bad?
Or is it good?
Maybe, as a people, we're get
ting worse and worse and because
we are getting worse and worse
more of us are landing in jail
That would be bad.
But
It MIGHT be that our courts
and our law enforcement agencies
are getting BETTER AND BET
TER and as a result more of us
who ought to be in jail are getting
clapped into jail.
That would be on the good side.
I swear I wouldn't know.
I'd like to go along with the
theory that our law enforcement
processes are becoming steadily
more perfect, so that more of.w
who ought to be in jail are gutting
put where we ought to be. But,
reading the news from day to day,
it is hard to escape the conclusion
that a whale of a lot of people
who ought to be in jail are keeping
out of jail.

Nine Escape
Washington
Reformatory
MONROE. Wash. (AP) Nine
inmates at the Washington State
Reformatory overpowered two
guards Wednesday evening and
made their escape in a series of
stolen cars. Three nf them were
reported in the Tacoma area early
Thursday.
The State Patrol said one. Har
ry Harris, was spotted on a Ta
coma street shortly after mid
night. The others, also believed
to be escapees, were later seen
running from a car which had
been stolen in Seattle, a patrol
spokesman said.
Later Tacoma police rushed to
a house in Tacoma's North End
where Harris and two men were
reported to have taken refuge.
They had fled before the officers
arrived. Two were traced to the
southern part of the city where
another car was stolen.
Ernest Timpani, reformatory
superintendent, received a report
early Thursday that three other
of the missing inmates had been
seen in the Ulympia. area.
Timpani identified the escapees
as:
Roland Ostcrman. 21. commit
ted from King County for burgla
ry; Elvin Gilroy, 19, King County,
second degree assault: Jon Era-
mst, 22, Chelan County, second
degree assault: DeWayne Dunlap.
19, Clallam County, second degree
burglary.
Robert Jacques, 23, Spokane
County, second degree burglary;
Donald Frazier, 27, Y a k i ma
County, car theft; Eldon Spur
geon, 23, King County, robbery;
William Brown, 18, Cowlitz Coun
ty, grand larceny and Harry Har
ris, 20, Pierce County, grand lar
ceny. The men first attacked guards
Robert Fifield and Lester Sain.
Timpani said. After beating them
down with their firsts, the prison
ers then broke through the ceil
ing of Cellblock No. 1 to gain ac
cess to a light well.
Next they climbed through the
light well to the roof and appar
ently let themselves down the 30-
foot reformatory wall with a rope.
Timpani said the escapees com
mandeered a reformatory car and
drove to Snohomish where they
abandoned it.
Apparently the inmates then
split up. Timpani said one man
broke into the home o a reform
atory guard in Arlington. Marshal
Clyde Parker confirmed the break-
in . and said the man attacked
Mrs. Dorothy Bain when she re
fused to give him weapons.

Pension Bill
Passes House
By Voice Vote
WASHINGTON (AP)-Sen. John
F. Kennedy (D-Mass) today hailed
House passage of an employe pen
sion and welfare fund disclosure
bill as assuring legislation in the
Held at this session of Congress,
The House passed the measure
by voice vote late yesterday after
turning down a proposal to elim
inate employer-run plans. The
Senate cleared the bill 88-0 April
witn Kennedy as its chief spon
sor. I welcome the House action
because it means we will get a
Dill tnis session, Kennedy told a
reporter. "But the Senate version
is a stronger bill and I hope we
can restore at least a part of the
benate language.
Normally a Senate-House con
ference is named to compromise
differences between the two
houses, but Kennedy said it is
possible the Senate will just ac
cept the House bill as the best it
is possible to get this year.
The key House test was on an
amendment to exempt those plans
under which management alone
or -through an insurance company
guarantees a fixed level of ben
efits to the employes. These make
up about 90 per cent of the total
in effect. The others are controlled
by labor unions or are jointly ad
ministered by management and
labor.
Both versions of the legislation
would require fund administrators
to file with the secretary of labor
comprehensive reports on the
makeup of each plan plus annual
data on its financial operations.
These would be open to the pub
lic. The Senate bill would give the
secretary subpoena power to in
vestigate the accuracy of the re
ports. He also could seek federal
court injunctions where necessary
to enforce the act, and could pre
scribe the form of the reports.
The House bill would merely
direct the secretary to receive the
plans and make them available
in a public reading room.

Tankers Collide;
15 Seamen Dead
NEWPORT, R. I., (UPI) Two
tankers, one loaded with a mil
lion gallons of gasoline, crashed
in flames in thick fog today, kil
ling at least 15 men and injuring
36.
At noon (9 a.m. p.d.t.), five
hours after the collision, nine bod
ies were found entombed below
decks in the larger of the two
ships. Six other men died when
they leaped into the fiery sea af
ter the collision off Fort Adams.
Of the injured, 31 were held in
hospitals for treatment and five
were released. Several of the hos
pitalized were reported in critical
condition from burns.
The ships, the 10,000-ton S. S.
Guilfoil out of Philadelphia, and
the coastal tanker S. S. Graham,
collided in a half-mile channel at
the entrance to Narragansett Bay.
The collision occurred within sight
of the still-beached wreckage of
the Norwegian freighter Vebte
ville, which ran aground last Sep
tember.
The Guilfoil skipper, Capt. M.
Eden, Port Arthur, Tex., perished
with his ship which went

Secretary Forming New
US Middle
WASHINGTON ( API-Secretary
of State Dulles is due back from
Brazil today to speed work on de
velopment of new U. S. policies for
the Middle East. These may aim
at neutralizing the area in the
cold war.
State Department officials said
efforts are being made to develop
practical proposals by which the
unstable, strategic area could be
insulated from the Soviet-Western
power struggle. Some referred to
the Drocess as trying to .find
way to bring about a disengage
ment of the great powers in the
Middle East.
Dulles left here Sunday on
flying trip to confer with Brazil
ian President Juscelmo Kubit
schek. He was expected to report
promptly to President Eisenhower
on his return.
Official sources in Rio de Ja
neiro said Dulles and Kubitschek
agreed on a summit conference of
the 21 American presidents to be
held later this year, although a for
mal communique made no mention
of such a meeting. Detailed plan
ning reportedly was left to the
Washington ambassadors of the
various nations in this hemisphere.
But of more immediate import
is the preparation of a set of U.S.
proposals for dealing with Middle
Eastern problems.
Ihe U. N. Security Council
meets in New York today to ar

Osborne commented in an inter

as Wright of the Newport Naval
Base reported that a crew from
the Navy oiler Salamone found
the nine bodies below decks. He
said the vessel still was burning
at noon.
Engineer Melvin J. Wroten,
aboard' the fully-loaded Graham,
said "it was like a stick of dyna

beautiful and, oh my God, I lived
through it."
Wroten was the last to leave
the Graham with Capt. Karl An

fire flashed along the port side
of the ship, then gasoline-fed
flames licked to the starboard side
where the men were attempting
to launch a lifeboat.
"We all ran forward," he said,
"and dove into the water. By the
time the lifeboat hit, it was all
aflame. But most of the men were
calm and all but one boy wore
lifejackets. I got to him a few
minutes after we were in the
water."
East Policy
Administration officials report
ed there was no hint from Mos
cow that Khrushchev had any in
tention of attending. Should the
President and the Soviet Premier
both show up, other leaders, in
cluding British Prime Minister
Macmillan, would almost certain
ly attend. That would set the
stage for a summit conference
parallel with the big Assembly
gathering.
At his news conference. Eisen
hower .saui the United States is
approaching the prospective As
sembly meeting with two pur
poses in mind. He expressed hope
that the Soviet Union would co
operate in carrying out positive
proposals which this country
would make.
The initial purpose, he said.
would be to "show that we had
acted within the spirit of the Unit
ed Nations" in putting troops into
Lebanon in mid-July to support
that nation's independence.
The second purpose, the Presi
dent said, would be "to put all
our emphasis on constructive
things to help the peoples of this
area, to help them develop them
selves, and to bring about a peace
not only by the advances they
make but by their certainty that
we are doing it. . . for that rea
son." Asked specifically about the
idea of neutralizing the Middle
East area, he replied that in an
ticipating a summit conference
we certainly were prepared to
discuss such a thing."
Dulles, in his preparations for
the now discarded summit meet
ing, had sought to focus attention
on what he calls indirect aggres
sion against independent nations
by Soviet communism.

House Ready
To Check Off
Major Items
WASHINGTON (AP) The
House was set today to check off
two more major items on its end-
of-session work list a bill to
extend the reciprocal trade pro
gram and a record peacetime de
fense money bill.
Quick House approval was ex
pected for compromise versions of
both bills. The Senate was. likely
to act on them soon.
A Senate-House conference com
mittee agreed to extend the trade
program four years and to give
the President authority to cut tar
iffs up to 20 per cent during that
period. This is somewhat less than
President Eisenhower requested,
but he appeared likely to go along
A separate conference group
voted to recommend 39V4 billion
dollars for defense in the current
fiscal year. This is about 800 mil
lion more than Eisenhower asked.
In a heavy work day yesterday,
the House:
1. Defeated a farm bill which
would have lowered some price
supports. Speaker Sam Rayburn
(D-Tex) said that as far as he is
concerned that ends any hope for
tarm legislation at this session.
2. Voted 286-108 to boost the fed
eral debt limit to 288 billion dol
lars. The permanent ceiling now
is 275 billion, although Congress
earlier in the session boosted that
temporarily to 280 billion. The
House bill would set a new per
manent top of 285 billion, and
would authorize the 288 billion
ceiling until June 30, 1960. This
would be the highest peacetime
limit ever.
3. Passed by voice vote a bill
requiring public reporting of em
ploye pension and welfare plans,
whether administered by employ
ers or labor unions. A somewhat
different bill has passed the Sen
ate. A conference of both houses
may be needed to work out differ
ences. In approving the four-year ex
tension of the trade program, the
conferees split the difference be
tween the original House and Sen
ate versions. The House, in line
with administration requests, had
voted for a five-year extension
with authority to cut tariffs an
other 25 per cent in return for
similar concessions from foreign
nations. The Senate had passed a
three-year extension with a 15 per
cent limit on additional tariff cuts.
The conferees cut out a Senate
provision to limit cuts in any one
year to 5 per cent.
On one important point, the
compromise retains a House
amendment that would permit
Congress, by a two-thirds vote on
both House and Senate, to over
ride the President if he rejects
Tariff Commission recommenda
tions for import quotas or higher
import duties to protect a home
industry.
