To the Editor: WISH to commend the Inter- national Students' Association for sponsoring a very interesting and stimulating discussion of the Suez Canal crisis. This new ven- ture is one of which the association should be extremely proud and I am certain that their future pro- grams will be awaited with eager- ness by a large segment of the student body. It seems appropriate to mention that the president of the Interna- tional Students' Association, Andy Chaudhry, proved himself to be amusing, charming, and totally unaware of the role appropriate for the "moderator" of such a panel discussion. He persisted in answer- ing questions himself and his per- sonal basis on the issue was obvi- ous to all those present. The pur- pose of having a chairman is not to have him voice, or give evidence of, his opinions. If it were, he would be selected as a member of the panel. May I suggest that Mr. Chaudhry might benefit from some study of appropriate authorities in the field of parliamentary proced- ure and skillful chairmanship? -Barbara Mattison, Grad. Sympathetic Chuckle... To the Editor: I DON'T know of anyone who did fail to get a sympathetic chuckle from John Wrona's recent inci- dent,, nor do I know of anyone who would fail to see true humor in the indignation of a scandalized few who seriously might express shock at the affasir, which in no manner detracts from Mr. Wrona's own effectiveness as a member of SGC, nor stifles the fife and drum accomaniment to the forward march of our student government as it fights for right and good. -Gordon L. Black, '57 , etered Bike Racks?.. .. To the Editor: THERE are over 4,000 bicycles on the University campus. One of the city ordinances makes it mandatory for all bicycles to be li- censed, lest they be impounded. The revenue received from these licenses undoubtedly aids the city of Ann Arbor; however, these reve- nues are not enough, so the Ann Arbor Police have begun to gain! additional revenue through funds received from bicycle parking sum- monses. Tuesday afternoon, I parked my bicycle on South State Street in front of the Virginian Restaurant. Upon returning, I found a patrol- man writing out a summons for my bicycle. With a smile, he hand- ed me the summons and said that he did not like doing this any more than I; however, he had three more books of twenty-five tickets each to dispose of. It seems to me that this protector of our city had a difficult task to per-! form-that of writing out parking violations to bicycle owners. My sarcastic reply to the officer was, "What next? I guess that we'll have to put our bikes in metered racks." The funny thing was that he didn't think my comment was very funny. Actually there is a great short- age of parking space on State Street. A solution to this problem might be the installation of more bicycle racks on State Street rath- er than the handing out of park- ing violations. -Joel Koenig, '59 Letters to the Editor must be signed and limited to 300 words. The Daily reserves the right to edit or with- hold any letter. Sometimes it looks as if British diplomats just aren't smart. They have at least two secret wea- pons up their sleeves with which they could play ring-around-a- rosy with the Russians and the Egyptians. But they don't use them. T h e Montreux Convention, which gave Russia free passage through the Dardanelles to and from the Black Sea, could be de- nounced at any time in the next three weeks. Russia doesn't want internationalization of Suez, but does want internationalization of the Dardaneeles. The British could denounce the Montreux Conven-" tion and throw the entire Russian "access-to-the-sea" position into the diplomatic soup. The British could build a few feet extra on their dam at Owen Falls in Uganda on the Upper Nile and shut pff priceless irrigation water to Egypt on the Lower Nile. Less irrigation water would throw the Egyptian economy seriously out of whack. Britian has a treaty with Egypt, dated 1929, forbidding dams or projects which take additional water from the Nile. But since Colonel Nasser abruptly seized the Suez Canal company without au- thority, the British have diplo- matic precedent for operating against Egypt with equal vigor. The Nile and its tributary, the Kagera, flow for 4,037 miles through Uganda and the Sudan, so the British have considerable river mileage in which to upset the flow to Egypt. Denunciation of the Montreux Convention would chiefly harass Russia, now Egypt's chief backer in the Suez dispute. The Conven- tion expires Nov. 9, 1956, though it continues automatically unless notice is given by one of the sig- natories. Britain is a party and could give such notice. The Montreux Pact gives Rus- sia and other signatories a right of free access to and from the Black Sea, which is something the Czars of Russia wanted to get ever since Peter the Great. Most of the wars of Russia prior to World War I were fought for the purpose of getting an outlet to the sea for the great land-locked mass of Rus- sia and Siberia. TURKEY, on tne other hand, has vigorously opposed giving this free access to Russia. As the Suez Canal runs through Egypt, so the Dardanelles and the Bosporus run through Turkish trritory. And when the Allies first forced Turkey to give free access to Rus- sia it came about not because they wanted to help Russia, but because the British fleet wanted free access to the Black Sea in order to inter- vene against the Bolshevik govern- ment. That was the origin of the treaty of Lausanne in 1923. At that time Russia had no navy, didn't care much whether she had free access through the Dardanelles or not. A decade later, however, she had built a navy and demanded in the Montreux Convention continuation of the right given under the Lau- sanne Treaty. Today Russia has a submarine fleet even greater than that of the USA and would scream to high heaven if the Mon- treux Convention were ended. Foreign Minister Shepilov, who now opposes internationalization of Suez, would find himself arguing just as vigorously for interna- tionalization if the Montreux Con- vention was suspended. Turkey would like nothing better than to recapture her former juris- diction over the vital waterway that runs through her territory. Meanwhile neither France nor Britain, which have the right to give two years' notice have made a move toward ending this treaty, so important to Soviet Russia. * * * EZRA BENSON'S acting Sec- retary of Agriculture abruptly re- neged on a television program in Missouri last weeK when he learned that a lawyer who had opposed Benson's soil conservation policies was going to be on the program. The lawyer was Frazier Baker, Fulton, Mo., attorney who had defended some of the farmers' committees supervising soil conser- vation in the past, but which were ousted under Benson. Baker was the chief member of 'the TV panel who might have been critical to Secretary True Morse. The others included George Spencer, Demo- cratic State Senator, plus two staunch Republicans: George H. Miller, Republican who is running for Congress against Rep. Morgan Moulder; and Olen Monsees, a Republican and Vice President of the Missouri Farm Bureau. However, one day before the show was to be filmed on station KOMU at Columbia, Mo., GOP publicity director John Ellinger spoke to KOMU news director Phil Berk, learned to his dismay that attorney Baker would be one of Morse's questioners. Next day Baker and Spencer arrived at the studio and sat cool- ing their heels. Morse and the two Republican panelists didn't appear. Morse's schedule had been "rearranged." He couldn't make the TV date, though he did make a luncheon at the nearby Daniel Boone Hotel the same day. (Copyright 1956, by Bell Syndicate, Inc.)

ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst SOME POLITICIANS are displaying a ten- dency to forget that generalized criticism of foreign policy can do the nation a disservice. Almost every day someone criticizes the ad- ministration for not settling world tensions which nobody knows how to settle, and attri- butes Communist successes to bad policy. These criticisms are seldom accompanied either by a bill of particulars or constructive suggestions. They can be picked up by America's enemies abroad and used more effectively as propa- ganda than can any criticism from outside. rfH E COMMUNISTS know well how to take such statements out of their context as campaign generalizations and make it appear there is widespread division in the United States. The generalizations come about because there is no fundamental difference between the par- ties and the men who have administered the policies. Editorial Staff RICHARD SNYDER, Editor Incidentally, it is rather odd that, at this stage of the campaign, there has been no major speculation as to who might be Secretary of State should Stevenson win. But whoever is Secretary will be adminis- tering a policy which has not been hand- tailored to a preconceived theory, but which has developed along with a world situation which has not been of American making. 1HE REASON the politicians talk generalities about foreign affairs goes back to this fact. Constructive policy changes only can be pro- duced by changes in this world situation. Unless criticism is accompanied by sugges- tions which bring about such changes, it is dangerous.

Accounts Manager By LARRY EiNHORN Daily Television Writer The smell of the green stuff has changed many a TV performer from artist to pitchman. This does not include the stars who sell their own sponsor's products on their own shows, for this is a natural situation. Some real old-timers may re- member Vaughn Monroe when he was a bandleader. Some may re- member him as a singer. Those with real good memories for short- lived occurences may remember him as the star of the first tri- weekly national compatible color television program. But today Vaughn Monroe's fame and fortune reay on the com- mercials he does on other artist's shows. Joe E. Brown never quite made it as an artist in television. But you can see him now on all the big shows pantomiming commer- cials for "you know - the stuff Very few people realize that Bet- ty Furness started out wit haspi- rations of being a great dramatic, actress. She really wasn't think- ing at that time about refrigera- tors, stoves and air-conditioners. Add Barbara Britton, Bill Lundi- gan, Jimmy Nelson, Danny O'Day, Farfel, Red Barber and The Sportsmen to this ever-growing contingency. You don't have to confine this artist-pitchman transformation to performers. It has spread to the other arts. A baseball player now, reaches the pinnacle of success when he has pitched a no-hit game, batted .400, hit 60 home runs or talked to Mel Allen about the light, regular or heavy. Something here should be said about Dorothy Collins. She went from artist to pitchwoman to ar- tist. If this starts a trend Miss Fur- ness might someday be playing Lady Macbeth in a giant TV spec- tacular (not the "General Elec- the showing of unsold pilot films. A pilot film is a sample show of a projected series which is pro- duced to be presented to advertis- ing agencies and sponsors with the intent of selling the series. Pilot films can cost anywhere from $30,000 up because of the tremen- dous expenses of writers, sets and other production costs which has to be spent on one half-hour film instead of being amortized over 39 half-hour shows. There are hundreds of these pi- lot films which have been made and are still unsold and unfor- tunately the ones seen this summer needed no explanation as to why they were still unsold. However, the idea of showing a different pi- lot film every week is an excellent one, for it can provide good enter- tainment while at the same time possibly create a sale.

This is a feat which the filmed Glea- son of last year couldn't perform. Lawrence Welk continues to dominate his Saturday night time slot this year. He even managed to edge out the strong competition of Sid Caesar and the "Salute to Cole Porter" last week. Another ABC triumph, even more surprising than Welk's, was that of "Conflict" over Phil Sil- vers. INFLATION HAS hit the quiz shows. Two new shows will offer $250,000 as their top prize. The new "Break The Bank" has already started and it will take a contestant about 25 successful weeks to take home the quarter million. :.
