PAGE 14 A HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON THURSDAY. AUGUST 14, 1958 Atom Fallout Danqer Cited ALBUQUERQUE. N.M. (AP Dr. Willard F. Libby, a member of the Atomic Energy Commission, cays fallout is the real danger in atomic and nuclear warfare. "Cities can be washed off," Lib by told a press conference yester day. But, he added, the AEC still has found no practical methods of removing the top several inches of soil which soak up radioactive materials. The commissioner said that it would take 10 years for the fall out from a stratospheric nuclear explosion to reach the earth. lie said he did not believe the fallout from the accumulation of all the high-altitude shots would be dangerous to the human race. "I don't think I care to com ment on that," Dr. Libby said when asked if he knew of any Soviet experiments in exploding nuclear warheads from guided missiles in the stratosphere. He also said he favored a limit Ing of nuclear weapons testing rather than a complete ban. "However, if we could get a complete agreement with the Rus sians that would be different," he said.

Cyprus (AP) "Visit the Holy Land," says the poster in tne censor s office in Amman. Jordan. The' phrase evokes thoughts of good will. But there is little of that in the Jordan part of the Holy Land today. Hatred and fear are the emotions of the hour. I have never seen the Jordan ians so tense," says a long-time resiaent ot tne Hashemite king dom. He was referring to the gripping problem of Jordan's King Hussein and his government. There seems little doubt Hussein would have been toppled soon after the Iraq revolution if British paratroopers naa not lanaea in Amman. Now. despite the troops. Jordan ians are asking themselves: How long can he last? "I give him about eight monlhs. even wltn tho troops here, says one experienced Western diplomat in Amman. Something has to give sooner or later." Hussein hasn t been able to com bat the compelling calls for Arab unity which issue from Nasser's Cairo. Nor has he been able to do much about the poverty that grips his desert land. Jordan is a country that has no industry and no oil. lis boundaries, carved out arti ficially after World War I and by the Arab-Israeli war, have left it without a Mediterranean seaport or much of anything else that a country needs. About half a million Arab 'refu gees from Israel-held territory are crowded into Jordan, living on United Nations handouts. "Tho Middle East problem will never be eliminated until the ques tion of Israel is solved," is a sen tence that drops readily from Jordanian officials. The. same feel ing, put more bluntly, comes just as readily from other, less cau tious Arabs. "There can be no peace in the Middle hast, says these Arabs, "until the Jews have been pushed into tne sea. Anti-Jew feeling in - Jordan is tierce and public. "The Germans," an Amman shopkeeper told this correspond ent the other day, "are the most popular foreigners in this part of the world because of the way they treated tho Jews. Put 'Made in Germany' on a product and you've got it sold. By WILLIAM L. RYA.V AP Foreign News Analyst UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP) The emergency session of the U.N. indicates the world's states men have had a scare. "Sober" was the word used more than any other here to de scribe yesterday's opening session on the Arab East. All fully ap preciated the gravity of the crisis and the possible consequences lrom it. 1 he emergency session now boils down to a three-way contest over the future of Arab national ism. The United States is hopeful that this force President Eisen hower called it "a great surge" can be persuaded to provide the energy for a stable commun ity of Arab nations. To this end, the United States has pledged sup port to whatever feasible economic goals the Arabs may feel suit their needs. The Soviet Union, moving cau tiously in a dangerous situation. says it too is in favor of econom ic betterment of a long-neglected, backward area. But many of its policies have left little doubt that Sister Slays Boy With Rifle OAKLAND. Calif. (AP)-In that unpredictable small boy manner, 13-year-old Steve Richards hand ed a loaded .22 rifle to his little sister and told her: "Go ahead- pull the trigger." . Eight-year-old Jeanne Richards did. ,. Steve died almost instantly, shot in tne neart. Police said Steve found the rifle and some ammunition, owned by an elder brother, yesterday.

The third contestant is Gamal Abdel Nasser of the United Arab Republic. He cannot yet be ab solved of the suspicion that he sees Cairo and himself as the eventual master of an enor mous strategic slice of the world. Nasser's chief source of ammu nition is the force of Arab nation alism. Up to now he has been the only champion it has had to cling to. It provides him with his slo gans and generates great emotional force. For many Arab nationalists there has been nowhere to look but to Cairo. The U.S. President has made a gesture to that nationalist feeling. It was a hesitant, groping gesture, acknowledging the common Arab memory of past glory and the common yearning for future self respect. To back it up, the United Stales offered to support an eco nomic program offering bright prospects for the area. General reaction to the Presi dent's proposals was favorable, sometimes cautiously favorable, except among the Arabs them selves. And the United States pur pose was not to impress the rest of the worm, out to impress me Arabs. Comment in Cairo was brusque and defensively hostile. Nasser still was using the Soviets as a potential bludgeon against the West. But in private. Arabs at the U.N., including U.A.R. representa tives, indicated they were watch ing and waiting for developments. Apparently they want something more. The Arabs are aware of the meaning of the fateful contest. A key question is whether the area someday will come under Soviet economic or political domination. It would be difficult to find a bona fide Arab nationalist leader who wants to see Soviet influence make significant gains. Even Nas ser, for all his propaganda and his continued flirtation with Mos cow, continues to fear the Com munists. President Eisenhower now has reached for a safety valve. He has made a start toward relieving the dangerous pressure. What re mains now is for the United States to build a climate of con fidence in American intentions. Even before economic aid, the Arabs need this psychological aid. If that climate can, be created, the Communists will have suffered an important defeat. The Arabs hint they are ready to listen. , UNION BACKS PLAY NEW YORK Wi-A trade union local is helping finance one of next fall's off-Broadway productions, "The Man Who Never Died."
