Day's Sews
By FRANK JENKINS
As this is written, there is no
BIG news for which let us
give humble but heart-felt thanks.
The BIG news gives us all the
shivers as well it may.
NEVER BEFORE did man hold
in his hands the power to destroy
the world.
Speaking of power, British His
torian Dr. Arnold J, Toynbee,
visiting in this country, is inter
viewed by a reporter who asks
him what he thinks of De Gaulle
He replies:
"French President Charles de
Gaulle's attitude is in keeping with
a general dislike of AMERICA'S
FINGER ON THE ATOMIC
TRIGGER."
He adds:
"De Gaulle's feeling and that
of the rest of the Western World
-is NO ANNIHILATION WITH
OUT REPRESENTATION. And
this is the crux of America's
somewhat strained relations with
De Gaulle, with Canada, and
sometimes with my own country
(Britain.)"
He's probably right.
Nobody likes to see supreme
power in SOMEBODY ELSE'S
hands.
But
It was that way when Toynbee's
country ruled the waves when
all that was necessary to squash
impending trouble anywhere it)
the world was for the British fleet
to arrive and square away for
action.
That period in history was
known as the Pax Brittanica (the
peace of Britain . It was preced
ed historically by the Pax Ro
mana (the peace of Romei. Both
Britain and Rome have gone over
the hill. What we have now is
presumably the Pax Americana.
Question:
How long will it last?
Both the Pax Romana and the
Pax Brittanica lasted for gener
ations. Let's hope the Pax Ameri
cana lasts as least as long.
Questions:
What of this modern world
which may come to be known to
future historians as . the Pax
Americana?
What will it be like?
For a possible answer, let's
turn to Cottage Grove, where last
night a union official told an au
dience of planners for the future
that automation is advancing so
fa't that soon there will be com
puters that will PUT OTHER
COMPUTERS OUT OF WORK.
He went on to say:
"DECISION MAKING ma
chines may in a few years take
over the jobs of thousands of en
gineers, scientists and lechnol
ocists not to mention MANA
GERS. Our technology is moving
faster than our social conscience
to take care of the people, tn the
next 10 years, some 414 million
people will be out of work unless
that many Ntw jods arc cre
ated." Who is lie?
He is Irving Blucstonc. admin
istrative assistant to Walter Reu
ther, chief of the United Auto

at the first day meeting of the

Iraq President Killed
In Military Rebellion
TEHRAN, Iran 1UPI1- Army
and air force units rebelled in
Iraq today, overthrew the govern
ment and announced that Presi
dent Abdcl Kaiim Kassem was
slain.
The rebels apparently were
sympathetic to the United Arab
Republic, whose radio in Cairo
hailed the revolt as "the dawn
of a bright future for the Iraqi
people and army." j
Word of the revolt came from
rebel radio broadcasts and diplo
matic dispatches to capitals
throughout the Middle East.
(The State Department in Wash
ington said the military take over
in Iraq appeared to be anti-Communist
and probably was touched
off by Kassem's recent appoint
ment of a number of Reds as
high officers.)
Reports reaching Ankara, Tur
key, said Kassem's headquarters
in the Defense Stinistry Building
were bombed at 8:30 a.m. and
the structure reduced to rubble,
with Kassem possibly buried in
the wreckage. But rebel broad
casts indicated his body may
have been dragged into the streets:
for the public to see.
Brigadier Abdel Karim Mustafa
was named leader of the new rul
ing junta. He was identified as
commander of the Erramadi gar
rison in the suburbs of Baghdad,
but little else was nown about
him.
The revolt apparently had its
focal point in the capital of Bagh
dad, legendary "Arabian Nights"
city. The rebels also claimed mil.
itary support throughout the coun
try. They indicated they were in
control of the situation and that
officers and officials lova! to Kas
sem had been arrested or werei
in flight.
There were rejiorts of gunfire
in Baghdad, but there was no in
formation available on casualties.
The borders were sealed, ail air
ports closed and all radio stations
in rebel hands. A 3 p.m. curlew
was imposed.
Diplomatic reports reaching
London said both planes and tanks
had moved against the Defense
Ministry Building.

Tlie total county valuation would

This would mean tliat each metro

Tha giant union had been under

Hoffa recently complained to
the House Labor Committee that

Moshofsky said tlie basic defect

a state monopoly. "The stimula

Marr declined even to comment
