IN SCRAPS OF TIME one tries
to read this news account and
that to follow one or another
commentator and to understand the
LeDallOn situation
One thing is sure Ever since
the great wealth of oil reserves
were discovered in 1948 beneath
the sandy sou of the realm govern-
ed by King Abdul Saud the coun-
tries wnien bonier on and coml)
prise the Desert Kingdom have
been a source of vying and con14
petition among world powers
"Is it another case of 'too little
and too late'?"
"Should we have delayed await-
ing UN action?"
Should the United Nations have
taken a firm stand and recogniz-
ed the desperateness of the situa-
lion a mom ago or even a year
ago?
-
m ANY ARE POINTING out
that the occasion of Mr Nas-
ser seizing the Suez Canal two
years ago was a time when force
might have been the answer At
that time the US not only refus-
ed to sanction interierence by the
British and French but caused
titem to withdraw
One question looms and needs
an answer:
"Do we have a well-defined pol-
icy as to the Middle East? If so
—what is it? First we appear to
be opposed to intervention Now
we take the Initiative If we are
to judge this decision by our past
attitudes then incieed the situation
must be desperate--more so than
many of us had been led to be-
lieve WITH THE TERM of President
Camille Charnoun due to end
September 23rd there has been
much controversy
President Chamouti said last
week: "I am outrages by the UN
reports Their 'observation groups'
deny "massive infiltration" of
arms or men from Nasser's Sy-
ria It opens the way and gives
the Green Light to Nasser to take
over the whole middle-east
Actually Nasser's chief weapon
has been the incitement of trouble
among rebels in all the small
countries Jordan Iraq Syria Tur-
key and Iran as well as Saudi Ara-
bia How well organized these coun-
tries are and how difficult it will
be to put them down is a moot
question Some writers think it
will be easy others believe it may
be long drawn out and costly—
particularly with Communistic help
from China and the Soviet Union

WASHMOTON (UPI)) — Sen
Robert S Kerr says the chances
for a water supply and barge
canal in central Oklahoma have
improved because of a new feder-
al water policy and the state Con-
stitutional emendment approved
July L
Kerr says the project which
would bring huge amounts of wa-
ter from the vicinity of Atoka to
reservoirs near Oklahoma City is
considered practical by "leading
engineers in Oklahoma and Wash-
ington" The Fen ti tor discussed the
plan in his weekly newsletter pub-
lished in newspapers in Oklahoma
"With the new federal law and
the state Constitutional amend
ment the stage is now set to mo-
bilize for the central Oklahoma
project" Kerr said
The omniblis flood control bill
which President Eisenhower sign-
ed after twice vetoing it previous
ly authorized three new dams in
southeastern Oklahoma Kerr
said It sets forth a policy where-
by storage space in present and
future federal projects can be pro-
vided for anticipated future needs
of water by cities and industries

Is no discrimination regarding who
