BY DAVID L. BOW3EN Associated Press Newsfeature Writer Just a few months ago the Medi- terranean region appeared rela- tively tranquil. If not a com- pletely satisfactory link in the chain of Western defenses around the Communist world, at least it seemed one where great progress had been made and future pros- pects were bright. Now, since the Soviet Union has begun its campaign of smiling in one direction while it sows discord in the other, the Mediterranean has been transformed from a source of Western strength into a- source of acute danger. The French are hard put to hold their position in North Africa, Greece has refused to associate with Tur- key in a NATO exercise, natives of Cyprus are violently agitating. for departure of the British, and United States diplomats are call- ing the eastern end of the Medi- terranean the most critical thea- ter of worldwide Cold War. Great Britain and. the United States declared they would act to prevent aggression by either side. Since then they have attempted to maintain a balance between tie hostile camps. Success Uncertain With Russia furnishing Egypt with the means of altering this condition, the West has no course of action, certain of success. Among suggestions so far advanced are: (1) match the Communist arms to Arabs with Western equipment for' Israel, (2) assert in forceful terms a. Western guarantee of present borders, and (3) redouble efforts to halt the increasing Russian in- fluence by stepping up American, aid to Arab League members for irrigation and other development projects. Unfortunately, the first two of these suggestions would probably drive the Arabs into the Russians' embrace. The third might well' prove ineffective. Some Western diplomats at Geneva have said they expect the Russians to cap their adventure in the strategic area by offering to join with the West in organiz-, ing a new collective security alli- ance which would bind' all the states of the Middle East to act in unison against aggression. This would give the Russians a voice in Middle Eastern affairs, which they would undoubtedly use to wreck the Western plans for a regional grouping pledged to stand together against Communist expansion. Mlke Most of Chance ThehSoviet Union has no direct hand.in the second Mediterranean zone, the quarrel over Cyprus, but the Communists are making the most of their chance to create trouble for Greece, Turkey, Britain and NATO. The situation there is this: Al- though Greece has never owned the island of Cyprus, four-fifths of its one-half million population are members of the Greek Ortho- dox church and consider Greece their cultural home. They are. clamoring for a chance to decide their own future. If given a choice, few doubt they would. choose un- ion with Greece and removal.of the British, who have been in con- trol since 1914. With the evacua- tion of Suez, Cyprus became 'the- principal British base in the eas- tern Mediterranean and so Britain, is unwilling !'to depart. Turkey; which ruled Cyprus long ago; sides with Britain and, does not want to see the island go t the Greeks. These conflicting desires- have erupted into a potentially danger- ous squabble. The tug-of-war has rekindled old bitterness between Greece and Turkey. Moscow Supports Violence At the other end of the Medi-; terranean, the French are far from satisfying the demand of Arab na- tionalists for self-determination. Moscow has openly supported the anti-French violence in North Africa and the Red bloc fans thej flames with inflammatory broad- casts from the satellite European capitals. No one in the West knows exact- ly how great a part Red agents are playing in the native revolt against the French. However, it is cer- tain the Communists are in the background ready to move for con-. trol if law and order disappear. The French have long maintain- ed that Egypt has sent arms into North Africa across Libya. dome have claimed that many of the guns arriving in Egypt now froxg Czechoslovakia will turn up next in Algeria and Morocco. Nisei Like A enicans, Americans born of Japanese parents are generally indisting- uishable from a. general cross sec- tion of the American public," Prof. George A. DeVos of the psychol- ogy department says. "There are. certain personality characteristics that could betrac- ed back to Influences of Japanese culture," he continued.' A study started in 1947 by Prof. DeVos and ,a group of psycholo- gists, psychiatrists, and sociolog- ists has proven that acculturation (acquiring new culture) of the Japanese ' Americans is almost complete. The study was intended to show host the ,Nisel, as Japanese-Ameri- cans-are-called,were .changing in personality and to discover what personality characteristics they inherited from their parents who Were born 'and brought , up in lJapan. One important finding shows that Japanese-Americans tend to white-collar jobs, Prof. DeVos said. A survey also shows that Nisei have an average of one and: a half years of college as compared with Americans'who have an average education of three years of high school, "These findings imply that AM- bition and respect for education, two basiccharacteristics ofsJapa- nese eultureinfluence American- born Japanese the lecturer in the psychology department re- marked. Prof. DeVos said that family conflicts are a main source of dif- ficulty in the new culture. Nisei accept values as Americans do. This, then, conflicts with values held by their parents, he asserted. This study was conducted in two large cities, Nagoya and Okay- ama, and three small villages, Niiki Buraku, Nagura Mura and, Saku No Shima, all located in cen- tral Japan. The random sample was based on age, sex and social class char- dteristics in the urban areas. Rural areas were chosen accord- ing to their functions such, as farming, forestry, and fishing. - " -- More SDAYS* if you wish to select PERSONALIZED CHRISTMAS: CARDS ChesterRoberts Gits 312 S.

By arranging for shipment of MIG jet fighter planes, tanks and other heavy equipment from Red Czechoslo- vakia to Egypt, and seeking to ar- range similar deals with other na- tions in the area, Russia Is jar- ring the delicate balance of power between the Arabs and the Israel- is. American officials have not been optimistic that talks between Western foreign ministers and Molotoy at Geneva will cause the Russians to halt their program in the Middle East. Instead, they ex- Pect the Kremlin to increase its pressure and try for. even closer ties with Arabs by offers of econ- omic aid. The skillful Soviet offensive has put the West on the spot. In the United Nations and outside it, the Western Powers have backed the right of Israel to exist on a part of the ancient Jewish homeland.
