Richards Leaves for Mideast Former chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee James P. Richards, now retired from Congress but a special assistant to the President, has left for the Middle East. As soon as the Senate had passed the President's Middle East plan, early this week. Sec retary of State Dulles, President Eisenhower and Richards got to gether in the White House to discuss the Richards' mission.

In short. Richards will have to be content to get the Middle East program accepted by the various leaders of that area and to erase suspicion and Soviet-planted propoganda that the Eisenhower Middle East plan is designed to that part of the world. Richards will stay in the Middle East for some time, and the success of his efforts have a major bearing on the future peace of the world.

R MEAL 29c THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS President Eisenhower’s new Mid dle East plan for keeping peace in that vital area of the world. The Senate vote was 72-19. Congress actually had no al ternative if the United States were to present a solid front to the rest of the world. After Mr. Eisenhower had come before Congress and asked, in a special plea, for congressional support of a new policy in the Middle East, it would have been highly awkward for Congress to have refused the request. The result would have been chaos and wide - spread misunderstanding I in the Middle East. Likewise, that part of the new i program which authorized tile President to spend up to $200,- 000,000 in supplying arms aid and economic assistance to Mid dle Eastern nations, was also left intact. The move to eliminate the economic aid feature of the new program had' considerable support but not enough to suc ceed. Now that the United States is officially embarked on a pro gram which will allow President Eisenhower to use the military forces of the United States, if necessary and if requested, to defend any Middle Eastern coun try, the United States has re versed its historical role. The most powerful part of the new plan is congressional approval of the President's request that he be allowed to employ military forces if he deems it necessary. While this action serves clear notice on the rest of the world that the United States is willing to fight, if necessary, to preserve peace in the Middle East, it also places a tremendous responsi bility upon the President of the United States, who will now have i to decide between war and peace if a genuine crisis breaks out in that area. A Car and a Helicopter President Dwight Eisenhower was recently surprised when his old command car, which he used during World War II in Europe, was brought to the White House and presented to him. Many Gl's will remember that car—a 1942 model —in which President Eisenhower traveled extensively in both England and on the Continent. No doubt con siderable sentiment is attached to it by the President and by cer tain others, including Sgt. Leon- , aid Dry, who was Eisenhower's chauffeur during World War II and now drives for Mrs. Eisen hower. Replacing a car for Mr. Eisen hower in the next few weeks will be a helicopter, termed a 47-J model by the Bell Aircraft Com-1 pany. Two of these have been selected for the President's use and will transport him in and. around Washington, avoiding the traffic on the streets. The heli copter will seat three persons । and the pilot. The President has traveled a memorable and historic road since the war years, in his | transition from the old 1942 sedan comand car to the 1957 model helicopter. Perhaps, now । that Sir Winston Churchill has. retired, President Eisenhower । ranks tops among the leaders of a major country who have held | continuous vital and top-ranking assignments for the past fifteen years, including such posts as Su- | preme Commander during World War 11. Army Chief of Staff, Su- , preme Commander of NATO and : President of the United States. i TV Commercials Face Curbs The Federal Trade Commission has been reviewing television commercials in recent months and is preparing a number of cases against firms responsible for fraudulent advertising.

Across the Street from Post Office HERMAN TALMADGE n Reports From WASHINGTON .PE« ■ (Editor's Note: The following is the third and last in a series of three columns dealing with the civil rights proposals pending before the 85th Congress.) AMONG THE CIVIL rights measures proposed by the Eisen hower Administration is one to au thorize the Attorney General of the United States to seek injunctions to restrain persons who “are about to engage in any acts or practices which would give rise to a cause of action.” An adjunct of that pro posal is to allow the At torney General to file injunc tive proceed ings and civil suits in the names of pri- HHHe vale individuals whom he considers to have been deprived of their civil rights whether those individuals desire to go into court or not. He would be permitted to initiate his suits “without regard to whether the party aggrieved shall have ex hausted any administrative or other remedies that may be pro vided by law.” « * * NOT ONLY DOES such a pro posal presuppose the existence of an Attorney General with the wisdom of Solomon but also it anticipates making him a glorified nationwide public prosecutor and protector and the de facto legal guardian of 170-miilion Americans. Neither is it possible to see how such a statute could be enforced without hiring mind readers to ad vise the Attorney General when (Not prepared or printed at government errense) mislead in some cases. A number of complaints have been made to the Federal Trade Commission | and while the FTC has not named firms, as yet, it is known that certain forms of fraudulent and deceptive practices em ployed in television advertising are highly frowned upon by that body. Some of these include mis statements as to the professional. status of the sponsor, misrepre- । sentation of price, the use of so called ‘ bait” advertising to lure customers by offering bargain-1 price products which the spon sor actually will not sell, and I other practices. It is highly important that the public be protected from such advertising and that the FTC keep a close check on television. Monitoring television advertis ing is an especially difficult job and it may be that some easy, effective method of protecting the public from fraudulent ad vertising will yet be devised In, the meantime, we hope the FTC | will crack down sharply on vio lators of Government rules | against fraudulent advertising. States and Farm Relief The Eisenhower Administra-1 tion has proposed that states be' required to pay at least twenty-, five per cent of the cost of I drouth and form disaster relief I programs. We are in full accord' with this proposal, for it is, in effect, a state’s rights proposal which takes the Federal Govern ment out of the position of being i Santa Claus, doling out untold sums of money to various states when the states are often not helping themselves. The Federal proposal means that the U. S. Government will pay as much as seventy-five per cent of drouth and disaster re lief program costs, but it makes and where violations of civil rights are being contemplated. The most alarming aspect of this proposition is the portion to per mit litigation without exhaustion of administrative and legal rem edies on the local level. Such an enactment would be the death knell for state ami local self-gov ernment and indicate that the Tenth Amendment no longer is considered an integral part of the Constitution of the United States. * * # THE OTHER FACETS of the President’s four-fold civil rights program are the recommendations for the creation of a Special Civil Rights Division in the Department of Justice and the strengthening of vote laws by authorizing the Attorney General to initiate in junctive proceedings against per sons thought to be “interfering with the right” of others to vote. The former would mean a further expansion of the federal bureaucracy and the hiring at pub lic expense of a small army of lawyers and investigators to harass and intimidate the officials and governments of our slates, , counties, cities and other political subdivisions and public institu tions. The latter is totally without constitutional authority as the Federal Courts have held re peatedly that Congress can im plement the 14th and 15th Amend ments only with respect to state action and only then in cases where the franchise is denied due to unlawful discrimination on ac count of race, color or previous , condition of servitude. 1 it clear that the states affected should move to help their own citizens when drouth or other WATCHING YOU?

One the the disappointing things discovered when Presi dent Eisenhower and other members of the Administration toured the Southwest recently, inspecting drouth conditions, was the fact that some states in that area were doing very little to help their citizens, even though they were in dire need of relief. The new farm relief program is parly a result of this tour and while we realize that the Federal Government has some responsi bility in moving to relieve an emergency which aflicts farmers in a drougth or other disaster area, the states also have some responsibility. If the state is not willing to put up twenty-five cents of every dollar for relief of its own citizens, then that state is not entitled to the other seventy-five cents being fur- ¥ and comfort to your home WITH H ORI*° NTAL design i j " Discriminating home owners are demanding the long low look in today’s modern homes.
