Dealing With Nasser

In-t-sitlciit Nasser's action in Seiz- ing the slit,-I. cillltkl was takcii in tiolztlioii of an iiiteriiatioiutl con- tention unit of the Atiglo-lC;'.)'lllI3n agreement of I9-I5 which lil'i)t'.(I6d for the withdrawal of British troops front the canal zone. It constitutes. in the wot-its of the British Govern- ment's protest, "a serious threat to the freedom of navigation on a

waterway of international import- ance." This protest is endorsed by the United States and France, and it is therefore a matter of concern to the United Nations' Securities Council. But prompter action is being taken, and appears to be ab- solutely necessary if any measure of peace in the Middle East is to be maintained.

Nasser recently celebrated the fourth anniversary of his revolution under the gloom caused by the withdrawal of IT. S. and British aid for building the Aswan Dam and the disclosure that the Soviet had made no definite offer to help this development and irrigation project. It was his own double dealing that placed him in this predicament, and there was no reason to expect that he would be governed by any scrup- Ies In maintaining himself in power.

Four years ago. of course, it seemed that the aim of Nasser's revolution was internal reform. He had destroyed King Farouk's cor- rupt regime snd suppressed the Pan-Arab Moslem Brotherhood. He had announced plans for reclaiming the impoverished peasantry. All signs pointed to the belief that the young Egyptian colonel would fol- low the example of Ataturk, who made Turkey into a modern state through domestic reform. It was this belief that prompted Britain and the United States to come for- ward with grants and a loan from the World Bank.

Aside from attempting to court Nasser away from the Soviet bloc, t he two Western democracies sotight to give the Egyptian eco- nomy a lift, which is the basic pur- pose in the distribution of funds to foreign countries by the U. S. and Britain. Egypt desperately needs such aid to keep pace with a grow- ing population that will double in the next 40 years. The Aswan Dam could add two million acres to the six and a half millions now under cultivation, thus providing bread for starved peasants.

The Aswan project required the agreement of Uganda, Ethiopia and the Sudan. which also use the waters of the Nile. No such agree- ment has been obtained. It also as- sumed that Egypt would provide 3900 millions as its share of the cost. for bulding the dam. Nasser's arms purchases from Soviet coun- tries, estimated at over 3200 mil-

lions, and his mortgaging of the cotton crop for such arms placed serious doubt. on Egypt's, ability to meet its share of the dam's cost; These were important consider- at”nns in deciding the withdrawal of U. S. and Britsh offers of aid.

Nasser now has played his big- gest trump card. If he succeeds, as pointed out by an Associated Press analyst in Saturday's Guardian, he may emerge eventually as the mas- ter of the Middle East. If he loses he could wind up in the rubbish heap of former dictators. The Western powers have had to deal with men of this type before. Ex- perience should teach them that swift and effective action is the only language they understand.

Invacling Christmas Island

llshman, discovered the Island on Christmas Eve, 1777. He named it, and stayed there several days to ob- serve an eclipse of the sun. The Am- erican claim goes back to the 1850's, when an American company work- ed the island's guano deposits. Later, a British organization did the same. The resulting conflict of interests in the island is one of the

most amicable international dis- putes in history. The British designated Christ-

mas Island part of their Gilbert and Ellice Islands Colony. The Ameri- cans occupied ('hristmas and built an airbase there during World War II. For a little thereafter, a group of Englishmen held down one end of the Island and a group of Ameri- cans the other. At sunrise each group would raise its own flag. At sunset they would lower them. In between they would go fishing to- gether. There wasn't much else to do on the island. The Americans have left, but the island is still oc- cupied by the British. Some 100 (ill- bertcse work in the coconut groves which provide Christmas with copra, its one export crop.

The physicists will find an is- land of some 200 square miles, one of the largest atolls in the Pacific. It is important as a possible base for airplanes flying between (Tali- fornia and New Zealand or Aus- tralia. It is at about the middle of such a route.

Christmas lies just north of the Equator and has a tropical climate, but the surrounding ocean and the trade winds from the east prevent extremes of heat. The tests will take place in a daily temperature usually between 80 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Nights are rarely be- low 70 degrees. Constant blowing of the trades provides cooling breezes to offset high humidity. Rainfall averages 30 inches annually, but this may dwindle to eight inches in a dry year.

Near Christmas in the Pacific lie Fanning Island, Washington is- land, Jarvis Island and Palmyra Is- land, the last administered from Hawaii as a l,lO0-mile extension of Honolulu's county line.

The British have another ('fhrIst- -mas Island, a lonely sentinel in the Indian Ocean 950 miles northwest of Australia and 200 miles south of Java. Peak of a submarine moun- tain, this Christmas is also part of the atomic age. as the western out- post of Australia's Woomera rocket range.

IENING THE GULF

Aiucricaus arc closcr to their Wild West past than is often re- membered in these days of trans- continental airliners and atomic energy.

Just ill years have passed since Comanche Chief Quanah Parker led the last nl his people to the surrender that marked the end of Indian wars in the southern plains. Quanahis aged widow still surviv- es. A rcccnt flowcr-scattering cere- mony at the grave of her warrior- husbanri the died in 19111 recalls the turbulent, frontier-taming era that saw the passing of a wild, free way of life.

Famous for their fierce indep- endence and courage, the Com- anches were called ”Lords of the South Plains." and "Spartans of the Prairies.” says the National Geographic Society. They were a terror to encmy tribes. and for dec- ades delayed America's westward expansion.

RELATED TO SHOSHONES

The Com:-inches were originally linked with Shoshonean tribes of the Rocky Mountains" arid Cent- ral Basin. Separating for the oth- ers, they drifted in the early 1700': into the southern plains. where they eventually ranged from Kan- sas and Oklahoma to New Mcxico and 'I'cxas.

Among the first Indians to ac- quire horses from the Spaniards. the Comanclics took naturally to the nomadic life of open rolling country. Tribal traits are hinted in such band names as "Those Who Move Oftcn," ”Mcat Eaters," ”Antclopes." and "Raiders." There's a note of community dis- approval In the ”Wandcrers Who Make Bad Camps."

Long before that. men had dreaincd of some form of land conveyance not pulled by animals. Sails were tried, and even a wind- mill-powcrcd wagon in 1473; Leo- nardo tin Vinci proposed a spring- uind carriage. and Isaac Newton designed one pushed by a steam jct.

But it was it Frcnrh military ciiginccr named Nicholas Cugnnt who built a wagon that run. In 1770. he produced a stesm-pow- cred artillery carrier--the first suc- cessful mechanically propelled ve- hicle in history.

NOT ENOUGH STEAM

stocky, and on the ground gave the impression of awkwardness. But. once astride his mount. the Comanche was a model of grace. The headlong rush of war-painted tribesmen. their long black hair streaming in the wind as they charged across the plains on high- spirited horses. was ii sight that lingered in many a pioneers mem- ory.

LIFE WAS GOOD

Comanche camps. quickly pitch- ed and dismantled. held well-built tepees that were snug in winter and cool in summer. The scattered bands sheltered in thickets along stream beds, in canyons and ar- royos. When rains came. even the desert bloomed. Wild fruits, Ler- ries. nuts. and root. plants were plentiful. The horses grazed on succulent prairie grasses.

The Comanche: hunted elk, deer and antelope. as well as smaller game. But their main source of food. shelter and clothing was the buffalo. a challenge alike to brav- ery nnd love of sport. Racing their highly trained horses beside the pounding. dust-enveloped herds, they skillfully picked off their quarry with arrows and lsnces. Afterward. the women did the drudgery of butchering.

Massacre of the buffalo herds and ever-increasing pioneer pres- sures brought want and wars that spelled the end of plains life as the Comanchcs knew it. In June, I875. Quanah Parker. half-white son of a Comanche chief. and his hungry hold-out band of Antelope: gnve themselves up to the military auth- orities at Fort. Sill in southwest Oklahoma.

Although formidable, the Com- anche tribe was never numerous. By conservative estimate there were probably 20.000 in I300. A few years after their surrender to reservation limitations there were less than 1,400. Today the Com- nnches. who live mostly In Oklah-

oma. number about 2,700.

RED FLAG LAW

England had steam passenger coaches running on regular n('IlCdllICI until outrageous toIls-- and a law that required a man on horseback to ride ahead wav- ing a red flag--forced them out of business.

In New York. Richard Dudgeon built a ten-passenger road loco- motive in 1568. Ten years later steam carriages set out from Green Bay toward Madison. Wis- consin. In the first automobile race. The winner took a week to cover the 2lo-mile course; It ov- ersged six mph.

In 1386, Ransom I-2. Olds pro- duced : coal-fired steam tricycle in Lansing, Michigan (and went on to build his "Merry Oldsmob- lles"I.

WEST RIVER CAFSICWAY

Sir,-I-In your issue of the lilth it is suggested that any objections to the West River causeway should be registered before July 23rd,, just four days of grace. What is wrong? There was no such sug- gestion when this ill-fated project was started over it year ago. The Government must now have little faith in this construction through the deepened hold on the West River. when It now asks for ob- jections. As everyone knows, in- cluding the Minister of Public Works. objcclions have been made already and plenty of them to the authorities and the sitting member for the District. If the Department wishes to know what the people who are most interested think, why not call a public meet- ing at Alton Hall (and have the Minister and Mr. Kllson attend. and have cveryonc invited. not just a few party lcadr-rs.

There has been a lot of objection to the present projcct. and u lot of changed Ideas today in this section. If the people throughout this dist- rlct favor an improved mad first- and there is no doubt about f.hat-- then the road project should take grecedcnce over A causeway or

ridge. which can be attended to later. Fifty bridges ncross the riv- er will not solve the transport- ation problem. A good road will provide A prompt rellof.

THE WAY "T

DO YOU GET IIEASICKY Me You Pllnnlnx I nu voyage or lake excursion this vacation season? Then. let me give you n little advice on how to avoid ses- slckness. ,. If you are about 25 or so ybur chances of avoiding motion sick- ness while traveling on- water are much better than they are for others, either younger or older. For example, studies show that Z)-year-olds generally become I ill more easily than those five years their senior. -

MINIMIZE FEELING

Whatever your age. try to get a cabin amidships. This will help minimize the feeling of motion.

Don't read a lot while aboard ship. at least not until after youtve developed your "sen legs.” And don't watch the horizon.

In fact, during the first day or so on the water eat only the sim- plesl of foods It you have reason to suspect you might fall victim to seasickness. These foods. and fluids, too, should be taken at fre- quent intervals in small amounts.

MAKES YOU MISERABLE

Prolonged motion sickness rar- cly. if ever. is fatal. But it can make you feel pretty miserable.

Furthermore, the condition can become quite alarming. You may become dehydrated. lose a lot of weight, not feel like eating any- thing and be very depressed.

But seasicknes needn't. worry the modern day traveler much

with all the new antimotion ill- ness drugs we have at hand. By taking one of these drugs and by following the advice I've listed above, even those of you who have always been susceptible to motion sickness probably will get along pretty well.

THREE HELPFUL DRUGS

As for the drugs themselves. re- cent tests conducted on service- men and reported In the Journal of the American Medical Associa- tion indicate that Bonamine. Phe- nergan and Marezine were the most. succemful when given three times a day. The effects of Bon- amine lasted longer than the oth- ers. the report states.

Meanwhile, other new drugs are being tested, too. Among these are Vlbazine. UCB 158. Cogentin sud Sandosterie.
