Sees Congre'ss Critical Of New Plan For pMiddIe East-

.4

By J. M. ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst It already is obvious that a great many questions will have to be answered before Congress ap- proves the Eisenhower - Dulla plan for the Middle East.

Following as it does upon the heels of a great United Nations success in meeting one crilla. many of the questions will spring from increased confidence in that process as opposed to unilateul action.

Others will involve what proce- dures the administration has in mind to implement the broad gen- eral policy of presenting Russia with direct military. political and economi opposition in the area.

The chief military feature of the pmur ii i:. of t.i)u'.'.S'.'. to make sure Russia makes no fatal mis- t-alculation regarding the possibil- ity of getting away with armed to- lervcntinn in the explosive situa- tion.

What would happen, however, If the deterrent didn't work and Bus- sis encouraged Syria to attack

lrall or take over Jordan. and then moved her own troops into Iran to "protect" Iran and iieruu rpm the f ting?

ANOTHER IKOIEAT ..

D0 U10 V1111"-Irv experts think another Korean situation would be produced? That the United States could fight from Iraq and perhgpg Israel? Or would such a move be regarded from the first as the be- ginning of a big-power war. in- volving massive retaliation. which is a euphemism for atomic war?

In any move of the proposed kind. the extreme possible result must be considered.

Obviously thinking on such points will not jell until the im. pending debate has taken place.

If it be assumed, however. as diplomats do generally assume, that Russian efforts to penetrate the Middle East will stop short in any clear risk of war. what form can the diplomatic and economic resistance take?

Riots Mark New Year In

Several

LONDON (CPI - Wild New Year's Eve celebrations got out of hand in several European cities early Tuesday with riots and brawls as over-enthusiastic revel- Iers welcomed 1957 with a bang.

The worst spot was Stockholm.

lweden. where screaming teenag- ars fought a running battle with police and turned New Year's revels into a raging riot. several persons were hurt. Police made I arrests. 'Thl rioters took over the city's downtown streets. molested pas- sersby. broke store windows and attacked cars and taxis. Police used drawn sabres and horse- whlps to break up the mobs.

A policeman trying to stop teen- sgers molesting pedestrians had his uniform ripped off. The riot- ing youths tried to rip up church tombstones and in one area they threw firecrackers and burning gasoline from bridges onto crowds in streets below. Stockholm Police Commissioner Goeata Dahlstroem said the riots were "the acts of absolute gangsle r."

PARIS DRIVERS CUT UP

Paris police temporarily forgot their duty as motorists defied the no automobile horn blowing law by culling loose at midnight. Hun- dreds of revellers wearing colored papcr hats swarmed over the streets and into cafes to breakfast time. reluctant to go home after seeing the New Year in.

But there was the tragic side to the celebrations too as gunmen. apparently politically motivated struck in three places in the French capital. killing clght re-

others.

In. London. the New Year cele- brations were marked by eight early -morning automobile acci- dents in which one policeman was killed and It persons were in- Jurcti.

Rut gasoline rationing coupled with no late-night buses or aub- Ways made for one of the quietest rclcbrations in years. The g est loot was the Chelsea Arts all where thousands of fancy-dressed couples danced until 5 a. m.

lscotland was the scene of the biggest celebrations in Britain as Scots followed the traditional cus- tom of "ilyt footing"-being the first in the New Year to cross the threshold of homes of friends and relatives bearing gifts for good I"9k- C"-if Iquares were packed at midnight as everyone linked arms I" Kin!

CHRISTMAS GIFTS AND

Gift'buylng now is a TWO-WAY TRAFFIC! It was fun the other day to watch folks coming into stores with boxes in gay Christmas wrnppings under their arms. For weeks one's eyes had become ac- customed to seeing people walk out of stores thus laden. Obivously some of the boxes that had been taken out were now being carried

I

I followed one woman up the) stairs of a large department store. Here is a typical scene: 1

Woman standing at counter. fin- ' gering large Christmas box. She smiles at clerk. Clerk smiles bar.-kl and deftly opens box. .

Clerk: "You wish to rclurnl this?" holding a bcruffled negilgeel

Woman? "Well. you see. I real-l ly haven't much use for such a fancy . .

Clerk: "I understand Would you like to exchange this for some- thing else?"

Woman: "Well -- right now. II can't think of anything I need . .

Clerk: "That's quite all right. Please take this slip. The cashier will give you the money. Thank

I could hardly believe my eyes or, my ears! True. I had heard. had read that gift exchanges were not only allowed but even discouraged. but such generosity - no ques- tions asked - cash returned! Most stores. I found. gave credit sups - but even these could be used anywhere In the store - at any time The Customer is always right indeed -How much rlghter can he get?

I thought back to the Good Old Days when only a bold spirit dared to exchange an article! And not for

t” se ' h-r differ- ent. but for the same thing in another size - or - in rare cases. another color. How tlmldly one approached the Insmiilng clerk- How carefully she (or he! examin- ed the merchandise - for finger marks. to see that the price tag was unmoleeted - to see that the article was not crumpled! And finally. i the goods - and you - were above suspicion. begrudglnly you were allowed to exchange it. If the article in your sin (or color) was "out of stock" then you were really up against it. Willy, nllly. right there and then. you had to buy something else in that depart- ment that cost the same as the

article in q ' I No wonder folks kept what they bought - or received!

But - shy miss C decides to become the life of the party in the coming year - and is doomed to failure. She doesn't know why she has always been that way. Hers is a complex problem she cannot solve by herself- Any more than Mrs. D. can drop her nag- ging and worrying.

Personally, I believe in New Years Resolution since they. like spontaneous wishes. can lead to self-understanding. And if you work at them. many are kept. May all your resolutions. like your wish- es. work out!

WASHINGTON (AP) The United States is vastly stronger in firepower. in the means of deliver- ing it on an enemy and in defen- sive works than it was when the lfarean war ended. But so is Rus-

0Vel'-Ill. Russia probably is still behind. But some high - ranking American officials estimate the So- viels are closing the gap rapidly.

.S. military strength is oriented to alrpower and ' ,

Today more than half of the mil- itary budget appropriated by con- gress goes to air power for the air force and the navy. This does not ' ' ” billions more for Atomic Energy Commission work.

At present. the U.S. and Russia place primary reliance for long- range delivery on big bomber.-- the U.S. Air Force B-52, the So- viet's Bison and Bear designs.

The Boeing-built B-52. an eight- jet plane. can carry over 10 tons of bomb load. Its speed is above 650 miles an hour. Its range is about 6.000 miles. The air force demon- strated recently that the B-52 can fly at least l6.000 miles using aer- ial refueling hniques.

HAVE MORE BOMBERS

Gen. Curtis E. Lemay. chief of the Strategic Air Command. says the Red air force's Bison "is com- parable to our B-52." The Bison. like the B-52. is a jet plane The Bear is a "turbo-prop." Gas tur- bines are used to drive propellers instead of using the actual jet thrust. A turbo-prop is slower than a jet. but of longer range.

Lemay. in his appearance before the Syminton Committee of the Senate last spring. said that "we believe they (the Russians) have more Bisons and Bears in their inventory than we have B-53." He also said that it was not planned to increase the B-52 pro- duction rate.

The I'-'-I04. the first of which will be delivered to operational units soon. can fly about 1.500 miles an hour. climb to more than limite- and make that climb at the same speed as in level flight. MISSILE! IN PRODUCTION

HAS LARGEST NAVY

greater than the power of all other navies of the world com- bined. This Is true in tonnage of ships. in firepower and in the number of ships commissioned or in reserve. 'f

Russia's major challenge to this supremacy has been in subma- rines. Numerically. the Sovld navy probabb has more subma- rines than the United States. Many of them are of modern, snorkel design and some probably are equipped for guided missile launching.

On the other hand. the United States navy claims to have made strides in anti-submarine wer- fare. This includes not only im- proved submarine detection equip- ment. but such things as atomic depth charges and atomic war- heads for torpedoes.

Russia is believed to have no aircraft carriers in her navy. The operating fleets of the United States Navy are designed around aircraft carriers. Newest of the American carriers are the 60.000- ton Forrestal class ships.

in ground forces. the United States trails Russia.

Russia is believed to have I total of I75 army divisions. not in-

' d” of trained reserv- Isis. The United States has 19 di- visions of regular army troops. plus National Guard dlvislpns and some reserve organizations.

The United States aims at off- setting the numerical disadvan- tage in ground forces with fin- power. especially atomic fire-

Works Minister Winters. in a re- view of the progress of the 4.500- mlie road begun six years ago. said Friday more money was spent on it and more mileage was built in I956 than in any previous

year.

A total of 356 miles was paved and 341 miles graded and total commitment for 1956 was about 382,000,000. Of this the federal share was about S50.000.000. in- cluding payment of 90 per cent of the cost of some vital links as provided in a new agreement signed with the participating prov- inces this year.

Aussies Mine Their Beach Sand;

SYDNEY (CPI-Australia has found something better than a gold mine in the thousands of miles of beaches that ring the continent. She has become the world's big- gest supplier of rutile. the main source of the metal titanium, used in jet aircraft.

Beach sand now is supplying ruv ' tile worth about 513,000,000 a year. and the figure is mounting. i

All along the north-eastern coast of the continent mining firms are busy digging up the beaches and processing them. When they fin- ish with the sand they put it back tidlly where they got it. .

Titanium is a light, strong metal with many remarkable properties, including the ability to resist heat. It I one of the most important materials needed in the develop ment of inter-continental missiles.
