“COURAGE MOUNTETH WITH OCCASION”
More than three hundred years ago the great
Francis Bacon wrote: “The virtue of prosperity is
temperance; the virtue of adversity is fortitude; which
in morals is the more heroic virtue.”
Directly following the failure of this country’s
first attempt at launching an earth satellite, Vice
President Nixon held a press conference. Mr. Nixon
said: “Sure we failed. We have before and we will
again. Bui we need to keep our sense of proportion.
We haven’t overnight lost our scientific know-how, our
ability to get things done . . . Let’s get away from our
weeping walls and act like Americans. We’ve got work
to do. Let’s get on with it like Americans.”
There is a great gulf of time and language between
these two quotations. But both of them stem from the
same attitude—the same outlook on life and the de
mands of life.

Mid East Nations
Told of Increasing
Red Imperialism
By ARTHUR GAVSHON
ANKARA, — The Baghdad
Pact powers said Thursday “Com
munist imperialism" is increas
ing its efforts to dominate the
prized oil-producing Middle East.
In a communique winding up
i a meeting of ministers, the allies
and a U.S. team led by Secretary
of State Dulles asserted Russia is
directing these attempts by ex
ploiting the fear of war, econ
omic distress and regional ten
i sion.
[ The communique said Com
munist “infiltration and subver
sion continue to be a menace and
calls for constant vigilance and
increased solidarity.”
In the past half year, the allies
said, “Communist imperialism
had increased its efforts. These
efforts, in the form of pressure
threats and false accusations,
were particularly directed by the
Soviet Union against Turkey.”
( The ministers in their four-day
meeting expanded the Middle
East Alliance’s military planning
staff and heard U.S. pledges of
10 million dollars more in aid and
“mobile power in great force” to
meet any aggression.
New Jersey’s Gov. Meyner
Says Amateurs Cause
Nation’s Difficulties
WASHINGTON, UP)—Gov. Rob
ert B. Meyner of New Jersey to
day saitf amateur administrators
and politicians in the Eisenhower
administration have caused many
of the nation’s present difficulties.
Meyner, in a speech prepared
for delivery before a National
Press Club luncheon, spoke out
on national issues and criticized
the Eisenhower administration,
two things he has rarely done in
the past. The governor is con
sidered a possibility for the
Democratic presidential nomina
tion in 1960.
Meyner said the nation’s de
fense policies have been hurt by
a lack of professional politicians
in Washington. And he said he
was concerned about a lack of
federal leadership in domestic
fields.

Hard Time Seen In Congress For
President’s Request For Extension
Of The Reciprocal Trade Program
WASHINGTON, —President
Eisenhower Thursday asked Con
gress for a five-year extension of
the Reciprocal Trade program
with increased power for him to
negotiate tariff ,cuts. He said it j
“is essential to America’s vital
national interests.’’
In a special message, Eisen- J
hower said of the trade program:
“It will strengthen our econ
omy, which is the foundation of
our national security. It will en
hance the economic health and
strength of the free world. It will
provide a powerful force in wag
ing total peace.”
The requested legislation is ex
pected to stir up one of the
major controversies of this Con
gress session.
The administration ran into
trouble in lining up a Republican
sponsor for the bill. Rep. Reed of
New York, senior Republican on
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee, is the party man to whom
the administration normally
would look for sponsorship of the
measure. But Reed declined to
put him name on it.
Rep. Kean (R - NJ) agreed to
take on the task.
The trade program dates back
to the Franklin D. Roosevelt ad
ministration. Under it, the admin
istration can lower tariffs on im
ports in return for concessions
by other countries as to their
tariffs on U.S. products.
The argument by backers of the
program runs that lower tariffs
stimulate world trade and are
helpful all around. On the other
side, the contention is made that
increased imports hurt American
producers and cause U.S. work
ers to lose jobs.
