THE ATTACK ON EGYPT
The Israel military aggression
against Egypt, coming suddenly
and without much advance notice,
precipitates one of the major crises
faced by the world in recent years.
Israel — evidently taking advan-
tage of what apparently was an
opportune moment — has struck
a blow, the consequences of which
are hard to foretell. Israel, a na-
tion of 1,700,000 people is surround-
ed by a number of Arab nations,
with populations totaling' 40,000-
000.
It has been obvious for some
time that as soon as Arab countries
became able to resolve their dispute
with Israel, they would wipe out
the recently-created new state. In
other words, it was only a question
of time until the Arabs built up
sufficient armaments, and trained
the necessary forces, before they
wiped Israel off the map.
The Israelis, of all People, were
well aware of this attitude. When
Russia became tied down in East-
ern Europe, with her troubles in
Poland and Hungary, and after
Egypt had alienated the support
of Great Britain, Israel no doubt
decided — like the Japanese In
November of 1941 _ that favor-
able circumstances and the .op-
portunity of the moment might not
return for Israel’s armed forces.
Just what the Israelis hope to
accomplish is hard to see. They
attacked Egypt only, at first, which
lends some weight to the suspicion
that they lioped their effort would
aid Great Britain in regaining con-
trol of the Suez Canal, which act-
ion would thereby immunize them
from the wrath of the British.
They also must have figured
strongly on the present troubles
being encountered in the satellite
countries by Russia — to keep the
Communism from giving large
scale, and Immediate, support i.o
the Arabs.
What they figured the United
States would do is herd to deter- i
.mine, but they must have taken'
I into consideration chat the prssi-1

■Whether --his is the main object
of the Bra -Iis attack, or whether
It is att all-out war against tile
Arabs, remains to bo seen. In any
event, Israel has taken u rather
wild gamble, the consequences of
which could be very grave. The
United States is pledged to protect
the defenders, in case of any such
attack. Therefore, events of the
next few days will be electric, and
will affect the peace and stability
of the entire world
MOSCOW AND THE REVOLTS
One observation which we reluc-
tantly make, as the result of re-
cent unheavals in Poland and
Hungary, is that the leaders in the
Kremlin were smart enough to
prevent a full-scale defection in
Poland.
Actually, Kremlin leaders appear
to be manipulating things fairly
smoothly, as far as Poland and
Hungary are concerned. They
managed to have Hungary's new
leader call for aid from Soviet
troops, and this was a key move
in the effort to crush rebellious
Hungarians.

And, in having the new Gov-
ernment in Poland admit that
Soviet troops would remain in
Poland as long as Allied troops re-
mained in West Germany, the
Russians have again succeeded
in maintaining their hold in these
countries. It is true that the hold
lias weakened, but Russia wisely
refrained from the use of force,
at least in the case of Poland,
iather than lose the support of
Poland’s leaders completely, and
thus bitterly and permanently
antagonize the Polish people.
AUSTIN—Farmers and ranchers
:n the 233 drought-stricken coun-
ties if Texas will save several mil-
lion dollars as the result of dra-tic
freight rate reducations put into
effect by the railroads on ship-
ments of cattle and on carload
lots of hay.
This is the third time in four
years Texas railroads have slashed
rates as their contribution to
hard-hit ranches and farmers. The
two previous rate reductions re-
sulted in a saving of more than
$22,000,000 to Texas agriculturists.
The freight rate reductions were
made at the request ot President
Eisenhower, A 50 per cent cut m
rates for hay in carload lots was
immediately put into effect.
Rates were also established for
outbound movement of livestock
from the drought-stricken areas to
we.-tern feeding grounds which will
permit free return transportation
to originating points.
President Eisenhower recognized
the fast action by saying:
"I know that I speak for our
people, especially those in the
areas affected, in saying that all
ot us are deeply grateful to our
railways for this public spirited
and prompt action."
Saving to farmers and ranchers
in 1953 was $20,000,000 when the
railroads reduced freight rates on
grains and dairy feeds. More than

There'll Always
Be An "Expert"
Drove out to see how they’re
getting along with the new super-
highway that’s going to pass
through town.
While I was there a fussy little
guy—a spectator, like me-came
up to the foreman on the job and
started making all sorts of sug-
gestions: “Shouldn’t it go a little
farther left there? ... Why don’t
you bank the curves more? . . .
Those ditches are awful close”
... and so, on and on.
The foreman took it as long as
he could, then asked politely,
“How does she look for length?”
From where I sit, free advice is
called “free” because it’s usually
not worth much. That little fellow
was typical of the kind of “expert”
who can’t resist getting in digs —
about how you work, what you
wear, why you happen to prefer a
glass of beer with yonr supper.
People like that don’t mean to be
troublemakers ... but the road to
real intolerance is paved with
their good intentions.

Altogether, then, the Russians
seem to have lescaped catastitj-
phies in both countries, although
tne old power maintained by Stalin
over the satellites Is obviously no
more. Yet, the Kremlin managed
tc retain its defense minister in
Poland and to use its troops, at
the request of the new Hungarian
Government leader to suppress re-
bellious Hungarians.
In n-.trospect it appears that ihe
Russians were shrewd in their
maneuvers in both Warshaw and
Budapest, and that they have
maintained enough of a hold on
these countries to maintain their
control on the geographical areas
involved.
