Administration Tests Reaction to Idea
For Keeping Peace in Middle East
WASHINGTON WV-The Eisen
hower Administration tested the
wind of congressional and public
reaction Saturday to a double
barreled idea for keeping Middle
East peace with military pressure
and vast economic aid.
Secretary of State Dulles, who
worked out the idea, was ready to
unveil it officially with President
Eisenhower at a New Year’s Day
conference with Democratic and
Republican leaders of Congress
at the White House.
Meanwhile, the suggestion was
allowed to “leak” to some news
men. In that way, the administra
tion hoped it would not come as
a complete surprise to the legis
lators on Tuesday and the public
would be prepared for possible
new U.S. policy moves in the
troubled Middle East.
The purpose of the idea—still
too tertuous to be called a propos
al—was understood to primarily
this: to put Russia on notice that
any Middle East aggression would
not go unchallenged.
Russia since the time of the
Czars has coveted the Middle
East's warm-weather ports. Now
the area’s vast oil resources are
an added lure. With British and
French prestige waning in the
Middle East, new and bolder So
viet economic and military intru
sions are expected.
Britain and France have been
urging the United States to step
into the power vacuum before
Russia does.
Eisenhower was reported ready
to throw the full force of his of
fice into a vigorous appeal to the
congressional leaders to back this
idea:
1. Specific standby authority,
similar to that voted him to deal
with the Formosa crisis in early
1955, and the use of U.S. troops
in the Middle East if he deemed
it necessary.
2. A far-reaching economic aid
program for the Middle East, per
haps totaling as much as a half
billion dollars. This would go to
both Israel add the Arab coun
tries on assurances from them
that they would end their bitter
rivalry.

Maid of Cotton
To Leave College
For Tour as Model
MEMPHIS, Tenn. Iff)—The new
Maid of Cotton, the lovely blonde
daughter of an Air Free general,
gave full credit to the potency of
her rabbit’s foot Saturday.
“Oh, I kept it in my purse,”
said Henel Landon merrily.” I
was tempted to take it out and
hold it in my hand but I told
myself, ‘Helen, you're not that
superstitious’.”
The 20-year-old University of
Tennessee coed won the title Fri
day night over 22 other Cotton
Belt beauties entered in the na
tion’s most decorous beauty con
test.
She’s the daughter of Mrs. Lou
ise Landon of Huntingdon, Tenn.,
and Maj. Gen. T. H. Landon, the
commanding general of the U.S.
Air Force in the Carribean area.
The 1957 maid left Sunday for
New York where she is being
outfitted with a flossy wardrobe
of cotton whipped up by fashion’s
top designers. Then, after school
ing in the arts of modeling,
comes a six-month tour of the
United States and Europe.
She is a junior at the univer
sity and would have been presi
dent of her dormitory next quar
ter if the judges hadn’t inter
vened.
