Little Surprise Seen In President
(By ASSOCIATED PRESS)
It is in the nature of things
that an American President's life
is more or less an o|>en book. This
is not because Americans are pri-
marily curious but because they re-
gard the presidency with great re-
spect .and some affection. This re-
spect and affection flow over to
thi* president's family, to the first
lady, to the children, to brothers
and sisters and other relations.
The five Eisenhower brothers
have had their 'share of this kind

of limelight. Only the other day
Edgar, the eldest, spoke with some
misgivings of the current budget.
He said it was too high. There was
also some reference to the young-
est of the brood, Milton Eisenhow-
er. Milton, it was suggested may
have influenced the President to
ward a more liberal view of things.
Be that as it may, it is known
that the president and Milton ore
very close together. They see each
other quite often and the President
has at times entrusted his young-
est brother with important miss-
ions. Milton is President of Johns
Hopkins University, the 8th since
its foundation. He left the presi-
dency of Pennsylvania State Uni-
versity for the new job last Novem-
ber. At the time it was explained
that he moved to Johns Hopkins
in Baltimore to apply himself to
something new and challenging.
There also were pergonal reasons.
It was said that he wanted to be
nearer his brother in Washington.
Milton is 57. He has a warm,
friendly, open personality. An in-
veterate pipe smoker and a sports
fan, he also is a vigorous, direct
personality with strong convictions
and interests. The chief of these
is education.
Yet he has been an educator for
less than one-third of a 40-year ca-
reer, a career which has seen him
as a newsman, author, government
official, and diplomat.

GRATEFUL PATIENT
It's about time I told you, Pete, that I'm one of your grateful
patients,' even though I'm the doctor and not you. Yes, 10
years ago you asked me to join the Chamber of Commerce.
I did so and I've been grateful ever since.
"It was just about the time I was beginning to feel solidly
established in town. I had begun to realize that because of my
profession, people looked up to me. 'If they're going to do
that,' I said to myself, the least 1 can do is try to set them
a good example of civic responsibility.*
Then it also dawned on me that the Chamber of Commerce
could be. jny jumping off place from which to attack disease
on a comrtmnity-wide basis. And that's the way it worked out.
Our Committee of the C. of C. has helped reorganize the
Health Department, expanded hospital facilities, and set up
an inspection procedure for the town's eating places—not to
mention 4fae Chamber's work in eliminating substandard
dwellings:**
"You're right, Doe. You and your Committee have done wotf-
ders. And don't forget, most of the Chamber of Commerce
work you pfofesskraal men do helps you too, in the long
run. It's a whole lot more satisfying to be a physician or.
lawyer in a prosperous, healthy community than in the other
kiad. rm glad you had a good time doing it And keep it up,

Israel Appears Gaining Ground

specially designed radio antennas. Dubbed "rocket ears," they
are used to pick up data telemetered from research models w

antenna in foreground is remotely controlled to follow a rocket

mitted by telemeter radio, which operates on a high frequency.
tions, Milton Eisenhower believes
that partisan politics should be
kept out of education, he believes
politics can do a great deal of
harm to education, perhaps even
destroy it.
Milton's first outside job, away
from the farm, was in a grocery.
Later he worked his way through
Kansas State College of Agricul-
ture and applied sciences. He was a
correspondent for various papers
in the area and wrote .articles for
farm magazines. In his senior year,
he was appointed an undergradu-
ate assistant professor of Journal-
ism.
After graduation in 1024, he
passed a civil service examination
and was sent to Edinburgh, Scot-
land, where he stayed for two years
,is vice consul. That job launched
a government career which was to
run 18 years and include many im-
portant positions. He held govern
ment posts under Presidents Cool-
idge, Hooever, Roosevelt, Truman
and later his own brother.
Milton Eisnehower's progress in
, the educational filed h,ns been no
less impressive. Those who know
, him well say he has left his mark
. in whatever job he has undertaken.
TTiey think it is quite logical that
the President should draw on bro-
ther Milton for ,*idvice in speciali-
zed fields.

Touch Of Irony
Found In Tense
Jordan Berth
By H. A. SCHENDORF
CAP CORRESPONDENT)
There's a touch of irony in the
tense situation in Jordan.
Some time back, when the Wes-
tern powers were trying urgent-
ly to expand the Bagdad alliance
for the defense of the Middle East,
the British put pressure on Jordan
to join. The king was favorable,
but the move was opposed by pow-
erful leftist elements.
When Britain .applied nressure
a political explosion resulted.
When the debris had settled, the
British were out of Jordan altoge-
ther, and the British commander
of Jordan's Army had been dis-
missed.
The irony lies in this:
Recently, President Nasser of
Egypt became impatient with pro-
gress in Jordan. He has been try-
ing for some time to bring Jordan
into open alliance with Syria and
Egypt, a pan-arab alliance which
probably would be dominated by
Cairo.
But things have been ^oing slow-
King Hussein has been luke-
warm to cold to the idea of join-
ing Nasser. Meanwhile, Egypt has
ben under increasing pressure from
the West as a result of disorders
following Egyptian seizure of the
Suez canal.
It's no secret that Britain and
France would be overjoyed if Nass-

(By ASSOCIATED PRESS)
There are times when silence and
discretion can yield immense bene-
fits. ITiis may be the case for
Israel. The tiny country has fought
a mighty battle through the years.
It has overcome handicaps which
would have proved fatal- to a less
dettrmined people. It could boast
but it shouldn't. There still are
grave dangers ahead, although the
outlook has brightened a tiny little
bit.
For the first time since its in-
ception as a state Israel has grad-
uated to a more favorable position.
The riv,alry that has developed be-
tween two factions of the Arab
world is a gift from the blue. Is-
rael has a 2 to 1 chance to come out
slightly ahead. The situation in
Jordan is the key to Israel's future
One of three things can happen.
Continued rivalry between leftists
Arab states or a victory for leaning
t> uiird the west. A victory for the
leftists or a victory for their op-
ponents. Only a victory of the left-
ists would prove harmful to Israel.
This is not to say that Jordan,
Iraq, Lebanon and perhaps Saudi
Arabia will become friendly to-
ward Israel. The bittemefs that
has accumulated in the past cannot
disappear overnight even if there
is sharp rivalry among the Arabs.
But some method of tolerable, re-
lations could be developed be-
tween Israel and a number of Arab
states.
But this won't happen if Israel
takes anything like a belligerent
posture. Any Israel move that will
make the Arab masses uneasy will
force existing governments to com-
promise their quarrels. The chanc-
es then will be that the leftist
or self-termed neutralists will win
the upper hand.
High Israeli officials are aware
of what is at stake. A story about
the first oil arriving at Beersheba
through Israel's new pipeline gives
.■an inkling of this. Government of-
ficials who previously spoke readi
ly are refusing public statements on
further oil shipments through the
Gulf of Aquaba.
The Persian gulf oil flowed into
Beersheba after being pumped 144
miles across the Negev desert from
Eilat. Israeli authorities were jubi-
lant when the oil arrived in Eilat
on April Gth aboard the American
Tanker Kern Hills. They called it
a historic day for Israel. Since
then four Arab states have protest-
ed to the United States regarding
navigation of American ships
through- the' Israeli government
will bend backward not to give
the Arabs the impression that it
stands to gain through a show-
down among Arab factions. State-
ments on Jordan developments have
been marked by their objectivity.
Israel has as much as served notice
that it is minding its own business
and that it is concerned only with
its own security. This is the only
attitude in the face of rising ten-
sions.

er were to be kicked out in Egypt.
And the political corollary is that
they are doing what they can to
reduce his prestige and encourage
his opponents.
In this juncture, Nasser decided
that Jordan ought to join him
promptly, both to restore his wan-
ing prestige and to make certain
that Jordan did not get away. And
so, Nasser began to put the heat
on.
He urged Premier Nabnlsi who
is pro-Communist, to open diplo-
matic relations with Moscow, join
Syria and Egypt, and line up
against the West. And apparently
Nabulsi prepared to do just that.
Colorful Figure T
Dies In Dallas p
DALLAS W— A colorful figure
tn Dallas, Texas for many years
was barber Johnny Dickson who
once numbered outlaw Frank James
among his regular customers.
Dickson, who died yesterday at
the age of 89, worked at his trade
until last year. It was just about
a year ago that he remarked he
had cut his smoking down to 9 cig-
ars a day, and hadn't had a fist
fight in eight years.
Dickson often related that one
of his customers was a slim blond
man with blue-gray eyes who rode
up to the shop on a handsome
sorrel horse and simply dropped
the reins. The animal always wait-
ed for its owner, Frank James,
brother of famed train-robber Jesse
James.
