Associated Press News WASHINGTON (AP) -President Eisenhower's idea for ganization to develop the Mideast has been kicking ground in one form or another for at least two years. He proposed it this week to the United Nations. This was switch. Until now the Eisenhower administration a had, relied mainly on different approach to the problem of helping the Arab countries develop dustrially, agriculturally, and SO on. The emphasis had been on dealing with the nations individually and giving them help individually.
What Eisenhower offers now is broad, regional Mideast development organization to be run by the Arabs themselves with the money and technical help coming from interested countries. like the United States, and from private capital. This would, if the President's words can be interpreted correctly, put the Arab-run organization outside the U. N. Almost two years ego on Dec.

The idea, in various forms, has grown since then Humphrey laid out his idea after the Suez Canal crisis of 1956.

Since that time American difficulties with the Arabs have multiplied. Western influence in the area has dwindled shockingly, Nasser has increased his grip on the Mideast Arabs.
Soviet influence among them has steadily grown, So Eisenhower offers now, besides intention of trying to what, create peace and stability in the area, is obvoiusly an attempt to keep bad situation for the West from getting -There is bound to be speculation now on what might have happened if Eisenhower had suggested a couple of years ago what he now proposes. That speculation now, for all practical pur. oses, is like water over the unbuilt 'Aswan dam. Eisenhower made no specific promises on what this country will do if the Arabs agree on his idea and that's questionable--for the simple reason he couldn't until he saw what the United States was getting into. But say the Arabs eventually buy the idea.
If it takes as long to work out the regional development plan as it did to work out details for the Aswan dam--a matter of years- -the United States might not then want to put up money. For this reason: by that time Nasser may have achieved domination of the Arab states. Dealing with him as boss of the Arab world would be tougher than when he was just as Egyptian dictator in 1956. THE WORLD TODAY By JAMES MARLOW Jacoby On Bridge By OSWALD JACOBY Written for NEA Service One of the great advantages of having a part score to your credit is that your opponents frequently decide to get into the bidding without any cards to back them up.

The Selma and Dallas County Chamber of Commerce is planning an event which possibly is unprecedented in the history of industrial development promotion of the Southeast. It is going to hold a Southern hospitality welcome party for an Industry which did not locate in the immediate area of Dallas County, This party will constitute a tribute to the Marathon Southern Corporation, which is just starting operation of a 42-million-dollar velopment in Choctaw County, near Linden and Butler, and will be a gesture of congratulation to the areas which will benefit most from it. The intention is to stage an informal get-together of Marathon officials, guests from neighboring communities and progress-minded Dallas countains to celebrate an industrial stride which will benefit this entire section, and, at the same time, to promote friendships which will contribute to efficient operation of this vast development, It should be understood clearly, however, that this is no effort to on the Marthon development, or to lure any of its opera: Etions in this direction, even if such an effort could be regarded as feasible. While Dallas County properly is envious of its neighbors in obtaining the Marathon plant, it is not actually jealous to the point of trying to undermine their good fortune. Our people have sufficient good sense to know that such a vast development was located only after exhaustive study of all possibilities, and that, once located, it is not going to be lured in another direction.
But we also know that location of such an' industry in our immediate area is going to attract nationwide attention, and Dallas County is going to profit from that. We also are going to profit in some degree from every new development by Marathon, because once a stone is tossed into a placid pond, the ripples extend far beyond the point of actual contact. What the Selma and Dallas County Chamber of Commerce is trying to prove in promotion of this welcome event is that the climate for industrial expansion particularly is favorable in Central Alabama, and when one area benefits, all others rejoice. In other words, our message to prospective industrial pioneers is: If you cannot locate in Dallas County, locate somewhere close and you will have the unqualified support of our citizens and their assets. Conquests Of The Unknown ASSOCIATED PRESS entitled to the use for publication credited to this paper, and also Our Message First crossings of the Atlantic by air were memorable milestones.
Their heroes still are celebrated. But today spanning of the ocean by plane is routine. So it may be one day with under-ice passages by the U.S. atomic submarine. But pioneer passages by the U.S.
atomic submarines Nautilus and Skate were great events, 1 new conquests of the unknown. Men today are probing tentatively into outer space, They have climbed the world's highest peaks and explored the ocean's depths. They have scratched their way across the trackless wilderness on many continents. But there is something inherently strange and different about the exploration of the Arctic. The forbidding cold, the endless wastes of ice and snow, and the long darkness of winter combine to give polar adventures a special bizarre quality.
Possibly this feeling will never wholly disappear for those who make future under-ice crossings of the pole, no matter how routine the trip becomes from the technical standpoint. The smoothness of these first ventures beneath the earth's ice cap should not deceive us into imagining that the passage is already routine. It was a bold stroke, full of import for the future contact between nations and peoples by new routes, carrying heavy implications in the realm of sea defense in this age when submarines are seen as potential bearers of powerful nuclear weapons which can be discharged against coastal cities in many areas. Obviously the achievement is the product of painstaking preparation, tireless effort and dedicated imaginations. The commander and crew of the Nautilus and Skate deserve the nation's warmest congratulations.
So do all those in the U.S. Navy who played a part in bringing off this feat. This holds particularly true for Rear Admiral Rickover, whose inventive thinking laid so much groundwork. In numbers the American submarine fleet does not match the Soviet Union's. But in daring and spirit it stands unequalled.

Easy Life Takes Its Toll In one respect the Russians beat us hands down, reports Kellum Johnson, president of the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States. That's in the matter of physical fitness.
The average Russian, said Mr. Johnson, Dallasite who recently accompanied two amateur basketball teams on a tour behind the Iron Curtain, is more physically fit than the average American. "The Russians get a great deal of exercise in their work and a great majority, of them participate in some type of sport. As a result, they are strong, healthy people," the official noted. Mr.
Johnson's observation calls attention to the fact that many of the things which contribute to the ease of life and ecenomic progress of our country are not unmixed blessings. Labor-saving devices, widespread ownership of automobiles, short work days, elevators, escalators and sedentary occupations deprive millions of our citizens of the minimum muscular exercise required for sound health. Inadequate physical exercise takes its toll- in many forms. It contributes to the 50 per cent rejection of our young men summoned for the military draft, to the premature deaths of many of our most capable business and professional leaders, and to chronic mental and physical sluggishness of persons in all walks of lite. The remedy is not to junk automobiles, automation and elevators.
It is for more Americans to understand that a minimum amount muscular exercise is fundamental to physical well-being, and to make sure they get Dallas, Texas, Times-Herald. Poor Lovers! Just to take the mind, for a moment, at least, outside of the tensions created by the discouraging international situation, may we pound a question? What has happened to the once popular lovers' lanes that used to provide secluded nooks for courting? Gone are the treeshadowed roads that used to canopy romantic dalliance. Even the modern refuge of amorously-inclined, couples, the drivein movie, could not hold its own as the horse and buggy yielded to the automobile, which had to forsake secluded lovers' nooks as thugs and murderers began to realize the opportunities to be found in such hidden retreats. There is no privacy in a drive-in theatre these days since it has become a family mecca, with hordes of children, eager-eyed and observant, ready to take in everything that happens, off the screen well as on. Maybe the end result of all this will be that the courting couples will be forced to admit that home itself now offers the best hope for a little private "necking." Love will find a way, we suppose, but all these modern substitutes for the old-time, tree-shadowed lovers" lanes lack the charm and beauty that made such havens of delight so popular with young ples.

(NANA) -The current emergency General Assembly is distinguished, delegates headquarters are saying, by the absence situation couldn't be very desperate, these diplomats point out, when the emergency session's first action was to postpone the meeting for five days. Of course, every delegate here is concerned over the serious situation in the Middle East. But an emergency special session--which must be convened within 24 hours of the decision to hold it--implies a more pressing urgency than the Mid-East crisis now appears to warrant. Compared to the first two emergency special sessions over Suez and Hungary, back in November, 1956-with their all-night sessions concerned with threats of all-out war and massive loss of life the current "emergency" seems tame indeed. There can be no doubt the crisis in the Middle East is less serious today than in mid-July.
The tension is gone. No one now thinks a new world war is only days away. Lebanon Solution Near The danger in Lebanon, if. not over, is at least on the way toward solution, The possibility of a protracted civil war in Iraq is over. Jordan, for the moment any way, is being quietly policed by the British.
Under these circ*mstances, Khrushchev may well have considered that the plans for a mit were proceeding too slowly. The consensus here is that he felt he had to do something while United States troops were still in Lebanon. For him, observers concede, may well have beer an emergency. If he waited any longer, his opportunity to embarrass the West would have been lost. The Russian switch on the Summit is reminiscent of their attitude to disarmament in the General Assembly.
They wanted parity of communist and non-communist nations on the small disarmament committee. When they couldn't have their way, they proposed making all 81 nations members of the committee. Strategy Of Russians Neither then nor now could the Russians hope to obtain an eftective majority in General Assembly, But they can hope for enough support, particularly from the African-Asian countries, to block a United States majority, This would be victory enough for them. Some diplomats believe the meetings in the next week or SO will be nothing more than a forum for a battle of words. If Secretary of State John Foster Dulles is determined to press his charges of "indirect aggression" while Russian Foreign Minister Andrei A.
Gromyko accuses America and Britain of "direct aggression," diplomats fear but a fruitless propaganda show would result.

The President at the very outset spoke of "the danger that nations under aggressive leadership will seek to exploit man's horror of war by confronting the nations, particularly the small nations, with an apparent choice between supine surrender or war." He added: "This tactic reappeared during the recent Near East crisis. Some might call it 'ballistic blackmail'." Eisenhower in those new sentences served notice that the American people would not be terrorized, would not appease dictatorship and would not compromise on basic principles of national sovereignty. He denounced the cry of "aggression" which the Soviets have raised against the military aid given by the United States at the request of the government of Lebanon.
He said that, "if it is made an international crime to help a small nation maintain its independece, then indeed the possibilities of conquest are unlimited." Reminiscent Of Past Here, therefore, is the great cause to which the President says America is dedicated--a cause that champions the rights of small nations to work out their own destinies without external interference: This is reminiscent of President Wilson's plea just 40 years ago for the "self-determination" of peoples and of President Roosevelt's similar point in the Atlantic Charter of 1941. But, while conceding that each nation has a right to make any change in fact, he said that "change is indeed the law of life and of progress Eisenhower declared this carries with it an obligation to bring about change "in peaceful ways." The President insisted that, above all else, there must be "an end to external interference in the internal affairs of the Arab states of the Near East."

Obviously the plan for economic development of the Near East by means of a regional arrangement is a response to those who have all all along insisted that money is needed to assist the peoples of the Arab world to develop their resources and improve their standard of living. America's promise to help is signinicant. If taken only on its face value, it would aid immeasurably in relaxing and bringing peace to the Near East.
Implemented further by international conferences? it could prove to be of transcendent importance in world history. Reds True To Form But when Eisenhower sat down amid the applause of the free world's representatives, Soviet intransigence came back into the picture at once. The Soviet Union's foreign minister was almost immediately on his feet to repeat the same similar cries about "aggression" and exploitation by the West. The Eisenhower address is bound eventually to bring second thoughts to all the Arab politicians who have echoed the Kremlin's cries against the presence of American troops in the Near East. Those troops will be withdrawn the moment there is a real basis for peace.

Very lengthy articles not be used INSECT PROBLEM SERIOUS To The Selma Times-Journal: Just read your editorial entitled, "They're Taking Over." Glad you saw fit to bring the insect problem out in the open in order that every one will see just how serious it is. Primitive man didn't have any trouble with insects because they didn't try to change the laws of nature, but modern man rebels against nature that's why the insects are taking over. Man in his greed for power and porfit has invented ways to destroy wild life and the birds who feed on the insects; that's why we are in the mess we are in today. Primitive man lived by the golden rule: "do unto others as you would have them do unto you." But modern man has changed that rule and replaced it with the modern rule; "do everybody before they get the chance to do you." Man has harnessed the mighty rivers, built skyscrapers, and manufactured nuclear weapons to destroy himself, but still he can't control the tiny insects who creep upon the earth which proves that man can not change the divine laws of nature.
Some prophet wrote what is man that thou art mindful of himself, but he didn't say anything about the sects who are getting the best of man. The editor of the Sunday American, ten years ago wrote, that the insects would be in a thousand years four inches deep on the entire earth and man would disappear from the scene so there are others who believe the insects are taking over. We should call for a summit meeting at the community level and devise ways and means to protect our insect eating friends and then we can be free from the insect peril. When I was on the farm in Dallas County we had a few boll weavils and caterpillars, but there were thousands of birds and chickens who fed on them. We kept our hedge rows cleaned out pulled up the cotton stalks, and burned them.
We planted eight rows of cotton to two rows of corn. This reduced the boll weevil menace to a minimum. But modern man has to go the route of least resistance. He has to spend millions of dollars to kill our insect eating friends and in the meantime he is paying, the way for the insects to inherit the earth. So let's give our insects a break.
Let them lead normal lives by feeding upon cne another. As you know they were here before man came upon the scene and made a mess of everything by fighting nature, and remember "blessed are the meek for. they a shall inherit. the earth." Yours truly, JOHN R. MAYES Pascagoula, Aug.
