he, O40 (Rev. 10-26-57) ~_ @) rt a) Tele. Room V4 Holloma Lebanon is certainly having a hard time. The problem does Gondy — not seem to be as simple as who shall be elected to the presidency and whether there shall be changes in the constitution. Underlying this there seems to be interference from other Arab states, 80 the real problem is whether Lebanon is to be swallowed up by the United Arab Republic, through which President Gamal Abdel Nasser has spread the power of Egypt over Syria and Yemen. Every current gain for Nasser, because ef his clone Hes with the Goviet Union, Is a gain for the Soviets. The werds spoken between Soviet Premier Khrushchev and Nasser about non-interfer- ence by the Soviet Union in Arab affairs seem to be pure nonsense. This is serious business, and whether the presence of our fiect in the Mediterranean will be enough assistance to heip the Lebanese to resolve their difficulties in their own way is one of the things we can hope for while watching what goes on from day to day. In the New York Herald Tribune last Sunday there were two cartoons drawn by the Soviet Union's two outstanding cartoonists, Ivan Semyonov and Vitali Goryayev. The one by Goryayev gave that gentleman's Brst impression of New York City and its feverish peopie in their huge automobiles. I must say that Jt was an amusing impression and possibly one that any of us might have received. . ® | T am tok the House Un-American Activities Commiitee was an ed on oe troubled by Cyrus Eaton's criticism of the FBI.
