Day's flews
By FRANK JENKINS
In New York this morning. Pres
ident Eisenhower takes the Middle
East bull by the horns and pro
poses that UN Secretary-general
Hammarskjold start consultations
" immediately with Arab nations to
see if they can agree on estab
lishing an ARAB REGIONAL DE
VELOPMENT INSTITUTION de
signed to "speed up progress in
such fields as industry, agricul
ture, water supply, health and ed
ucation." He said the U.S. would support
such an enterprise if the Arab
states were prepared to support it
WITH THEIR OWN RESOURCES.
But, he added, the leadership in
such an enterprise must BELONG
TO THE ARAB STATES them
selves.
That is to say:
If the Arabs will tackle the
job of rehabilitating the Middle
'Cast and managing its resources
intelligently for the benefit of the
people of the Middle East the
United States will help.
But It won't initiate the job and
It won't attempt to BOSS IT. Rec
ognizing what he termed "the
great upsurge Arab nationalism,"
he said he didn't consider the sta
tus quo (meaning the situation as
of now) in the Middle East "sac
rosanct." That is quite a concession to
Arab .aspirations.
Ho reiterated his promise that
ALL U.S. troops will be withdrawn
whenever their withdrawal is re
quested by a "duly constituted"
government of Lebanon or when
UN other action eliminated the
"original danger" that caused them
to be sent.
It was a statesmanlike presenta
tion of the aims of the United
States, and it drew prolonged ap
plause from the delegates to the
UN General Assembly, before
which Ike spoke.
What of Russia?
Her foreign minister Gromyko
listened to the speech. When it
ended, he and his aides stood si
lently as President Eisenhower
left the Assembly chamber.
The he got up and blasted U.S.
intervention in Lebanon. He
charged that the United States is
the main threat to peace in the
Middle East. He said the policies
of the United States and Britain
"threaten to hurl mankind into the
ebyss of a new war, with all its
consequences." He accused the
United States of "trampling the
UN charter under its feet by send
ing military forces into Lebanon,
He shouted that before anything
constructive can fie done U.S.
troops must be withdrawn from
Lebanon and British troops must
be withdrawn from Jordan.
And so on.
Hmmmmmm.
With even better grace, we could
say that before anything construe-
tive can be done in the world of
today Russia must get her troops
out of Hungary. She must get
them out of Poland. She must get
them out of Czechoslovakia. She
must get them out of East Ger
many. RUSSIA is the great imperialist
Gromyko's job was to CONCEAL
that basic fact.
But .
He didn't threaten to start shoot
ing. The correspondents comment that
he was somewhat milder than ex
pected.
CLOWN GENE RANDOW may amuse 99.9 per cent of the
customers at Polaclc Brothers Shrine Circus, but he didn't
get anywhere with Jackie Hunt, I, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. James W. Hunt. Jackie's brother and lister, David
(mostly hidden), 7, and Vickie, 9, were easier to please,
nd their chaperon, Barbara Merrill Ibehindl found
Jackie's standoffishness hilarious. Last performance of the
circus is tonight at 8:15 at the fairgrounds.

SPOTLIGHT OF THE WORLD focuses today on the modern

Second U.S. Atomic Sub
Makes North Pole Trip
"WASHINGTON (API-The Unit
ed States staked a new claim to
mastery of undersea pioneering
today after a second atomic sub
marine had crossed under the
North Pole.
The U. S. S. Skate reached the
pole at 8:47 p. m.'(EST) Monday
just six days after its older sis
ter, the Nautilus, emerged from
a historic 1,830-mile trip across
the polar cap. The Nautilus ar
rived yesterday in Portland, Eng
land, and got a big welcome.
The Navy released word of the
Skate's achievement last night
without any fanfare in a two
paragraph statement. This con
trasted sharply with the special
White House ceremony arranged
last Friday to announce the Nau
tilus' voyage.
The bare announcement last
night said the Skate surfaced in
an ice field some 40 miles from
the North Pole to radio word of
the trip. The Navy said the Skate,
the third U. S. atomic sub built,
was continuing under-ice explora
tions. .
The Skate's path to the pole
was just the opposite from the
Nautilus, which began its journey
from the Pacific. The 265-foot
long Skate left New London, Conn.
July 30 and entered from the At
lantic. As with the Nautilus, Navy of-1
ficials did nothing to call atten
tion to the military significance
of the transpolar trips. President
Eisenhower cited the Nautilus
achievement as pointing the way
toward a new commercial seaway
between the world's two major
oceans.
But the military importance of
the (eats was made plain in re
marks by sens. Prescott Bush
(R-Conn) and Clinton P. Ander
son (D-NM)..
Bush, telling the Senate of the
Skate's trip, spoke of the Navy's
delivery of a one-two punch.
Anderson said the submarines
may have given the United States
the means of preventing war.
We now have vast new ocean
areas from which to wage war,"
Anderson said.
There our submarines fan
hide, can remain undetected for
long periods of time, and can fire
missiles at anyone who dares toi
attack us.
The United States currently is
building a fleet of 33 atomic subs.
These include three already in
service, several soon ' to go into
service and others in the process
of construction or on the author
ization list.
Cmdr. James F. Calvert, a vet
eran submarine officer who grad
uated from Annapolis in 1942, is
the Skate's skipper. The Navy
said 10 officers, 87 enlisted men
and 9 civilian technicians are
making the Arctic trip. The Skate
is expected to return to New Lon
don late this month through the
Atlantic.
Eisenhower was told of the
Skate's polar journey while flying
over Philadelphia last night en
route to New York for today s
speech before the United Nations
General Assembly.

"it seems reasonable that work
could resume by next Monday."
Terms of the proposal were not

New Secrecy
Battle Looms
WASHINGTON (AP) A new
round in the battle over federal
secrecy shaped up Wednesday,
even though President Eisenhower
has signed a bill designed to cut
down on such secrecy.
The fight promised to be a long
one. It could involve a deeper con
stitutional-tangle than ever before
over how much information about
federal activities can be withheld
from the public.
One skirmish ended Tuesday
when Eisenhower signed a bill by
Rep. John E. Moss (D-Ualitl rul
ing out a 169-year-old administra
tive law as authority for keeping
information secret. Most executive
departments had opposed the bill.
News industry witnesses and
other supporters of the measure
had hailed it as a step against
unwarranted imposing of secrecy
by federal officials. Eisenhower's
statement upon signing nit a an
ferent theme.
Eisenhower said Congress, in
considering the bill, made clear
that executive branch decision
making and investigative pro
cesses must be protected. Also, he
said, the bill's history showed it
could not change what Eisen
hower called inherent constitu
tional power of the executive
branch to keep matters secret.
Moss clashed with bisenhower
in a statement issued Wednesday
I cannot agree with the Presi
dent's contention that in enacting
the freedom of information bill
Congress recognized any inherent
executive rights or powers to with
hold information." Moss said
"Such rights and powers exist for
executive departments only when
specifically granted by statute
The congressman said his House

mittce will study future executive
secrecy claims in the group s at

teed right to know will be recog

Probers Call
Ex-Governor
Of Kansas
WASHINGTON (AP) A for
mer governor of Kansas was sum
moned today by. Senate racked
investigators to explain his part
in a congressional Drobe of the
Teamsters Union that was myste
riously called off in 1953.
At the time, former Gov. Payne
Rattner. a Republican, was coun
sel for the Teamsters in an in
quiry by a special House subcom
mittee in Detroit. '
Representatives Clare E. Hoff
man (R-Mich) and Wint Smith ( It
Kan), cochairman of the subcom
mittee, have said that the Detroit
investigation was abruptly stopped
because of political pressure from
high places. '
But they have refused to name
anyone. Just what did happen to
halt the proceedings has never
been explained.
The Senate Kackcis committee
is conducting hearings on the un
ion and its president, James R.
Hoffa.
The latest of a series of accu
sations against Hoffa were made
by Robert Scott, former vice
president of Teamsters Local 614
in Pontiac. Mich.
In a droning monotone, ScotU-
a red faced, beefy man swore
that Hoffa. among other things,
persuaded him to hide his brother
William Hotfa from ponce in a
Pontiac hotel in 1948. Scott also
claimed the Teamsters paid $7,000
in an effort to bring back William
Hoffa's runaway wife,
Hoffa insisted he couldn t recall
asking Scott to hide his brother.
He denied the part about his
brother's wife.
Through his lawyer Edward
Bennett Williams, Hoffa also tried
to discredit Scott as a witness.
Williams told the committee:
understand this man (Scott) is a
narcotics addict."
'No, I am noC'.' Scott said, glar-
ing.at Williams.
Committee counsel Robert F.
Kennedy supplemented Scott's at
tack on Hoffa with some accusa
tions of his own.

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP)
President Eisenhower Wednes
day set forth a sweeping six-point
plan for building enduring Mid-
Last peace including swift cre

lice force and an international
economic development program.
In a dramatic personal appear

Some questions also concerned al

choice between supine surrender,
or war."
Again without naming Moscow,
Eisenhower compared the Krem
lin's conduct with someone who
cries "fire" in a crowded assem
bly. The President's proposed six
points:
A standby United Nations peace
force.
An Arab-run Mid-East economic
development loan fund and a tech
nical assistance program, financed
jointly by the Arab states, t h e
United States and other countries,
presumably including Russia.
A constant U.N. check to curb
inflammatory propaganda broad
casts to and from the Middle East
nations.
A U.N. study of possible con
trols on arms shipments to Mid
East countries, including Israel, to
avert an East-West munitions race
in the area.
Unspecified new U.N. moves to
guarantee Lebanon's security and
independence after American
troops are withdrawn.
An expression of U.N. determi
nation to assure Jordan's survival
as a nation, presumably by re
placing British troops now there
with U.N. personnel.
Calling world attention to t h e
tense situation in that tiny king
dom, Eisenhower warned that in
direct aggression discernible in
Jordan may lead to conflicts en
dangering the peace." He did not
fix blame for this, but said con
sequences of a far-reaching nature
could result.
Eisenhower proposed fast Gen
eral Assembly action on the parts
of his program dealing with the
peace force, Lebanon, Jordan and
the curbing of subversive propa
ganda. The regional economic de
velopment plan and arms control
he left for handling through other
U.N. machinery.
The President made it clear the
Arabs first of all must agree on
the regional development plan.
He said:
'Should the Arab states agree
on the usefulness of such a sound
ly organized regional institution.
and should they be prepared to
support it with their own re
sources, the United States would
also be prepared to support it."
with soviet Foreign Minister
Andrei Gromyko on hand. Eisen
hower strongly defended his deci
sion- to rush U.S. troops into
Lebanon, and said against the
background of . Russia's bitter de
nunciation of that move:
"This world of individual na
tions is not going to be controlled
by any one power or group of
powers . . . please believe me
when I say that the dream of
world domination by one power.
or a world of conformity, is an
impossmie dream.
The President served notice
that If necessary the U.S. again
would go to the aid of a threat
ened country, particularly any
small nation, which appeals for
help within the spirit of the U.N.
charter.
Eisenhower's 30-minute address
to delegates from the 81 U.N.
countries included no sensational
surprises.
The President did not spell out
the kind of standby U.N. police
torce he has in mind. But in
formed officials said he favors a
highly mobile force of about 3,000
men, equipped with small arms
only. They would be the U. N.'s
first permanent police force, ready
to speed to the help of any coun
try appealing for such aid.
Their main value would be to
cover a threatened land with a
symbolic mantle of U.N. protec
tion. The force would be stationed
in the capital of a threatened
country, and not used to patrol
irontiers as Kussia proposed Tues
day.
In a clear hid for Arab support
of his plan, bisenhower sprinkled
his speech with high praise and
backing for Arab nationalism. But
no place did he mention leader
ship of that movement by Presi
dent Gamal Abdel Nasser of the
United Arab Republic.
Nor did he specifically accuse
the U.A.R. of fomenting the cur
rent Mid-East crisis by interfer
ence in Lebanon's internal affairs
a charge the U.S. made at the
time it sent troops into Lebanon
a month ago.
bisenhower said that if his Mid-
East peace program can be car
ried out, then "in a few short
years we may be able to look
back on the Lebanon and Jordan
crisis as the beginning of a great
new era of Arab history."
He said that the six parts of his
plan should be acted on together
as integral elements of a single,
concentrated peace package.

Token Force
Withdrawing
From Lebanon
BEIRUT. Lebanon (AP) A
token withdrawal of U.S. Marine
from Lebanon began today a few
hours before Soviet Foreign Min
ister Andrei Gromyko was to de
mand in the U.N. General Assem
bly that all 15,000 American troops
pull out at once.
The 1,700 men of the 2nd Marine
Division's 2nd Battalion worked
barebacked in the blazing sun to
load ammunition and heavy equip
ment on snips of the 6th Fleet. The
battalion was the first to land July
15 at the request of President
Camille Chamoun to bolster his
pro-Western regime after the Iraqi
coup. ,
The other Marines and Army
troops continued peaceful patrols
around Beirut. There was bo in
dication when they might leave.
Only a handful of Lebanese
watched as the 2nd Battalion put
its gear on landing craft for trans-
uuii iv Din newt biups in ins
harbor. When the Marines landed
29 days ago crowds of Beirut resi
dents turned out but now they had
gotten used to seeing the Leather
necks. One group of Lebanese dropped
unsigned leaflets on the north
beach saying: "Yankees go home.
We swear we will not stop short
of anything, even death, if Amer
ican soldiers are not withdrawn
from our country in the shortest
time'."
Some Marines picked up leaflets
as souvenirs but otherwise they
were ignored. There have been no
clashes between U.S. troops and
Lebanese.
The rebel chief in Beirut, Saeb
Salam, welcomed the withdrawal
as a symbolic step but said it "does
not fully accomplish the desired
aim of the Lebanese people for ,
complete withdrawal of all oc
cupying troops."
The Marines themselves weren t
worried about the internal political
struggle that brought them here.
We never did figure out the local
politics and don't care anything
anout it eitner, said T.sgt. liienn
Johnson, Light, Ark. "Marines are
Marines.
The withdrawal was going on
from beaches both south and north
of Beirut, with the commander of
U.S. land forces, Maj. Gen. Paul
Adam, checking on progress by
helicopter.
