New Military Pact1

Expected to Bring More Disagreement

By WILTON WYNN CAIRO, Egypt tfk—The Arabian

Peninsula "Land, of 'the Toligafe Sultans" looks like the next ma­jor battleground in the cold war between the Arabs and the British*

Signing of a new military alli­ance Saturday by Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the little desert king­dom of Yemen promises trouble in the sandy s t r e t c h of land around the rim of the Arabian Peninsula. That strip forms The last stronghold of direct British

'control in the entire Arab world. Aroupd this perimeter are nu­

merous sheikhs :and sultans who in theoryjtre as soverign as Queen Elizabeth ""II but whose "independ­ence" depends almost entirely on treaties of protection with Britain.

Frontiers Poorly Defined Their desert frontiers rarely are

well defined,* and the British-backed rulers recently have come increasingly into c o n f l i c t with their larger neighbors to the north—Saudi Arabia and" Yemen.

Yemen's conflict with Britain renters mainly around I he Aden protectorates — 30 "independent"* states jammed into the 100-mile-width of the peninsula's southwest corner between Yemen's southern frontier and the Indian Ocean.

Some of these s u 11 a n.s and sheikhs live on .as little as $10 a month, derived largely from the tolls -they charge on camel cara­vans plodding through their road-less domains. Trie inevitable toll-gate, a dirty mud-hut village andi possibly a Beau Geste type for-i tress with mud walls often con­stitute the entire populated area! of the sultan's domain.

Lonely British agents, many of i them, the only Europeans in the"' area, act-as the link between the sultans and the British govern-. ment with only a few locally raised troops for protection.

From his ' i s o l a t e d mountain kingdom where time has stood still since the Arabian Nights, Imam (Sulta.nl Ahmed of Yemen for year& has maneuvered1 to end the British domination of the protec­torates, which Yemen claims.

Fighting for Decades Sporadic border fighting be­

tween 'Yemen tribesmen and the Aden sultans has gone on for dec­ades.

Recently the Yemenites have stepped up their campaign,to get the British out, spurred by British plans to weld the numerous Aden protectorates into one federation. Ahmed fears that would produce a single state powerful enough rival his own.

Ahmed also is disturbed by re­ports Britain has granted an oil concession on the Red Sea island of Kamaran, which Aden also claims.

In its anti-British maneuvers Yemen has tightened old bonds with Saudi Arabia, whose King Saud himself has a border 'feud with the British-backed rulers in Oman and the Buraimi oasis, on the southeast of the peninsula.

U.S. Testing Sincerity Of Soviet Peace Talk

Russia Must Wipe Out 'Wrongs of Stalin/ Eisenhower Tells Newspaper Editors Society

By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON (JP)—The Eisenhower administration

is developing* its own test of the widely advertised peace­ful purposes behind Russia's new look foreign policy.

The heart of the challenge a s * defined by President Eisenhower is that Russia's leaders should wipe out the "wrongs of Stalin" ( which he said sti I prevail a g a i n s t \ P Q f g r i f c $ O V £ t d

i2 Buffalo Boys,

other nations, lie said those wrongs include the division of Ger­many and Korea, the European satellite regimes and the uncer-1

tainty of peace in Asia. Eisenhower laid out his ideas on

Soviet relations in a speech before the annual dinner of the American Society of Newspaper Editors Saturday night.

In an off-the-cuff addition to his prepared speech, he listed a series of what he termed "cold war vic­tories ** He said he doesn't believe anyone knows who is winning the cold war. but added that those who say the West is winning "can point to some facts rather than

to | merely allegations." He proposed creation of a sort

of brain trust to advise the govern­ment on* foreign policy—a "rotat­ing advisory board" of private citizens, he called it.

At the* same time he renewe his appeal for a long-range U.S foreign aid program, an issue now pending before Congress. He said that as a former colonial subject of the British Empire, the United States understands and respects the views of nations more recently free and accepts "the right of each nation to choose its own path to

Eisenhower spoke at the con­clusion of a two-week period dur­ing which he ami his advisers had been reviewing Soviet policies more intensively than usual. Par­ticipating in the restudy was U.S. Ambassador Charles E. Bohlen, due back in Moscow this week.

Furthermore. Eisenhower spoke at a time when Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin and Communist party chief Nikita Khrushchev are visiting Britain and proclaiming the Soviet peace line.

"The future alone." he said, "can show whether the Commu­nists really want to move toward a just and stable peace."

He noted that since the death of Stalin the men who run 'the Soviet Union are operating as a collective group but "dictatorship it still remains."

boys and their parents, all non-swimmers, were saved from drowning in the muddy waters of a Thru way excavation in the Town of Hamburg yesterday afternoon.

Hero of the rescue was Walter Roy Daniels. 24. of Sisson Hwy., North Collins. He managed to save all four without diving into the excavation, filled by water! 10 feet deep. #

The chain of attempted rescues started when George Tsakos, 8, j of 366 Plymouth Ave., toppled intoj the excavation, which is about! 200 yards off Dartmouth Rd. He was trying to pick up a stick on the muddy bank when he slip* ped and plunged into the water.

His brother, Andrew. 10. play­ing nearby, heard his cries fori help and leaped into the water. As both boys floundered andJ screamed for help, two playmates ran to a home 100 yards away j where the boy's parents were visit-ing friends.

Steven Tsakos, 58, and his wife. ] Gladys. 43, raced to the excava- j tion. Tsakos immediately dived! in and attempted to shove the 1 boys toward shore.

Mrs. Tsakos leaned over the water attempting to reach thej outstretched hand of Andrew, and tumbled in.

Their cries were heard by Dan-, iels who was completing con-j sfruction work on his new home ] nearby in Dartmouth Rd.

One by one, Daniels a construc­tion worker, hauled the family ashore.

"I didn't want to jump In," Daniels explained, "because I thought I might do more harm than good."

He sat on the bank at the water's edge and extended his feet to Mrs. Tsakos and her hus­band and pulled them to the bank after they grabbed his ankles. He

would be a good idea. He added, "There has been a crying need for a long time to use the most able people, regardless of party, in making and administering for­eign policy."

He told the edifoijs they must, help keep Americans informed on the cold war struggle without "demagoguery and partisanship" and called on Russian leaders to prove by concrete acts their peace­ful intentions and desires for bet­ter relations with the free world.

Stevenson took issue with Eisen­hower in a television appearance. It may be tru°. he said, that dan­ger of a shooting war hasfdimin­ished, but we could lose the con­test with the Soviets without the Reds "firing a shot."

The recommendation to tie veterans' pensions with social

jcurity, for example, would reduce I some pensions since more than 'half of the 700,000 pensioned vet­erans are drawing social security payments. These, under the com­mission's recommendation, would

|be deducted from pension pay­ments. Maximum combined pay­ments would be $70 a month for

| a single veteran or $105 a month jfor one with a dependent wife.

Timothy J. Murphy, command­er of the Veterans of Foreign

i Wars, said the VFW supports [many of the recommendations. ;but added:

"A number of them, partiuclarly those that would throw the vet­erans' pension program into the

'social security pro0 .am, are high­l y objectionable and" should be de­nounced by all veterans."

On the other hand, Kenneth M. Birkhead, execueive director of the

life insurance after discharge,'ex­cept to men with disabilities which would keep them from buy­ing commercial insurance at reg­ular rates.

Tie social security payments up with veterans pensions, and con­sider other types of income as a complete or partial offset against such payments.

"The United States only now is intending to do this. The United States' first H-omb explosion was from a ground installation."

The derisive greeting came as Prime Minister Eden's top lieu­tenant indicated cautious optimism that their talks in London would prove valuable.

"If we can judge from the talks up to date.and if deeds follow words, then we can say already that the visit has been well worth while." R. A. Butler, leader of the House of Commons, said in opening the British Industries Fair.

A crowd of about 300 gave the Russian leaders a hostile recep­tion outside Birmingham's City Hall where they were received after a flight from London.

In an address at the civic re­ception, Bulganin showed he had noticed the hostile reception here —and the generally cool reception he and Khrushchev have received elsewhere during their tour.

"Of course," ho said, "not all people think alike and you know, as we know that, there are people who are not happy at us coming here and trying to bring about a revival of the good relations we had in the past. But I have no doubt that the overwhelming ma­jority of the British people, and we political leader's, want to ce­ment and strengthen friendly re­lations between us."

It was the most hostile reception the Kremlin chieftains have re­ceived since they arrived in Bri­tain six days ago for a 10-day visit. Thousands of exiled E a s t Europeans live in the big indus­trial city.

Before their takeoff from Lon­don, Bulganin and Khrushchev paused briefly to look over Bri­tain's new Bristol Britannia, a four engine jet and piston-prop plane designed to carry 122 passengers. Britain is banking high hopes of commercial air supremacy on the plane, which is not yet in service.
