Creation Of UN Armed ForcesOn
Permanent Basis Being Discussed
By HILLARD A. SCENDORF
By Associated Press Writer
With the effectiveness c/ the
United Nations troops in the Mid-
dle East has not yet fully deter-
mined, already there is sentiment
in the IJN for creation of_ such a
force on a permanent basis.
It would fall considerably short
of the UN Army to fceep world
peace which the architects of the
United Nations envisioned. Itut it
would lie considerably better th,m
tlie* state of military paralysis in
which the UN found itself in 1947.
The Canadian Secretary of State
for External Affairs, Lester Pear-
son, urges in the forthcoming issue
of the Journal, Foreign Affairs,
that we not lose what we have
gained in Gaza, But that we. make
it permanent and then build on it.
The original planners of the Uni-
ted Nations, of course, ,-uiticipaled
that the International Organization
would have an Army of its own,
largely contributed by the five per-
manent members of the security
Council. And the Security Council
would have the main responsibili-
ty for keeping world peace.
The big five split, and the UN
Army was never organized. And in
1950, the General Assembly passed
a "uniting for peace resolution,"
by which it proposed to take over,
some peacemaking efforts, strictly
limited, however, by the fact that
the UN. charter jyiVe it no poorer
in this area.
Seven years later, it was on the
basis of the resolution' that the
General Assembly authorized the
Secretary-General to organize a
military force to supervise the
peace ip the Middle Bast. And it
was to be dope within 48 hours.
There was some precedent
UN intervention in Korea.... and
dispatch of UN Truce Observers
to troubled areas. But the Korean
intervention was limited to Ameri-
cans plus a division from the Rrit-
ingish Commonwealth and a scrat-
heriag of others. And the observers
in other places where scarecely
troops.
Now that the UN troops planned
a dozen years ago have at last
come into being, there is sentiment
to make them a permanent part
of the UN... .to have units in each
cooperating nations earmarked for
UN duty if required.
They would not be primarily
shooting troops, but police troops.
They would go into a country only
when that country agreed to ,ic
cept them, for only the Security
Council, deadlocked by vetoes, has
the power to dispatch an expedi-
tionary force against an outlaw
nation.
Wh,it ought the UN to do now,
to make its fledgling Aruiy strong-
er and more permanent ?
As Pearson sees it:
The UN should undertake to get
permanent contributions of troops
from as many member nations as
possible. And the non-permanent
members of the Security Coun-
cil, he observes, should be willing
to take the le.ad, since they have
indicated interest in world peace
by running for election to the Se-
curity Council. i
The UN Secretary - General
should have a permanent military
advisor , and wherever peace
brigade were called into use, there
•should be an advisory committee
to consult on that particdlar opera-
tion.
The UN force would be.- primarily
;i police unit, but it should be fully
equipped to defend itself against
any attack and to supply, itself far
from home or friendly hoses.
Ami the UN should~nuk> begin to
dravv.^up model agreements with
government^"unftef- UN
force would operate in ,♦ country.
Thus says Pearson, the desperate
need to improvise would be avoid-
ed in another crisis, and we would
have built for the future on the
painful gains of the past.

Libya To Receive
Mere U. S. Aid
TRIPOLI, (AP)— A joint U. S.
Libyan communique today said Lib-
ya will receive more American eco-
nomic aid under the Eisenhower
Middle East Doctrine.
The communique was issued af-
ter 4 days of talks between for-
— •T representative James-Richards,
"'resident"Eisenhower's specian en-
voy in the Middle Hist, and Libyan
officials headed by Premier Must-
afa Ben Halim.
The Premier endorsed the Eisen-
hower doctrine last week before
Richards arrival from Ixjbanon. Le-
banon ,-ilso approved the plan, de-
signed to halt Communist penetra-
tion of the Middle East.
ITie U. S.-Lihyan communique
said that the talks here "reveal-
ed an identity of interest" on the
President's plan. It called "the ag-
gressive intentions of international
Communism, .the greatest present
threat to national independence ,md
the peace and security of the world
community," adding:
"The government of Libya re-
ceived with approval Anibassador
Richards' .assurance that US Middle
East policy does not seek to estah
lish spheres of influence or a spee-
ial position of power in the Middle
East but is devoted to strength-
ening the Nations of the Area, so
they may be masters of their own
destinies.
"In support of these principals, it
was .agreed that additional econom-
ic aid to Libya is needed and will
be forthcoming from' the United
States."

Army Is Firing
High Sky Rockets
FORT MONMOUTH. N. J. (AP)
—The Army announced today it is
firing rockets from deep in north-
em Canada to measure icy winds
as high ,-ts 80 miles.
Tlie experiments are expected to
lead to more accurate predictions
of cold weather during the winter
months. They were planned by
Army scientists of the U. S. Army
Signal Engineering Laboratories
at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey.
The Army said the first specially
equip perl "aeroboe" rocket was
fired Inst November 12th at Fort
Churchill, Manitoba. A series of
nine more launching* are scheduled
(lunng the 1957-58 international
geophysical ymr, the first on next
July 19th.
The tests employ a "grenade"
technique. The aerobee sprays 18
packets of high explosive into the
air at pie-set intervals during its
ascent.
When the 4-pound charges ex
plode, sensitive instruments on the
ground record the Ha rely audible
blasts.
Scientists measure the time lag
between each explosion and the
arrival of tlie sound at the earth.
From this data they compute im-
portant facts about the direction,
.speed and temperature of polar
winds,

From Autos to Tapioca, U.S.
Protects Overseas Ventures
BY PETER EDSON f'y
NEA Washington Correspondent
WTASHINGTON— (NEA)—What the United States faces in Middle'
• East economic development under the new Eisenhower doctrine
is perhaps best exemplified by a 20-year, six-million-dollar invest*
ment guaranty contract recently given by the U.S. government to
Edwin W. Pauley, Los Angeles independent oil producer.,
* Mr. Pauley is going wild-catting in the Hashemite kingdom
Jordan—just east of Israel. The U.S. government is insuring
•gainst loss of his investment through expropriation, which in
seizure by a hostile government.
► This Pauley deal was handled as a routine matter by the Inter-
nationa> Cooperation Administration's Investment Guaranty Pro-
gram, under Charles B. Warden. Before the Pauley contract could
be made, however, the U.S. government had to negotiate a treaty,
with Jordan, authorizing the U.S. to intervene and take over all
assets in case of seizure. All: this took over a year. -
>t to
JORDAN TREATY was signed in September/*. Then the;
Suez crisis developed.
The possibility of World War III developing in the Middle East
was high and the prospects for the Pauley deal went low. But on
Feb* 6 it was announced as closed.
r Pauley and his associates plan to spend up to a million and a half
dollars a year for two years, then three million dollars the third
year in their search for oil
The premiums tiiey will pay for expropriation insurance will be
one-half of one per cent on their investment. This would be S7.500.
the first year, $15,000 the second, $30,000 thereafter.
► If no oil is discovered; the loss will be borne entirely by Pauley.'
If he strikes oil and makes 30 or 100 million dollars, his 1CA'
guaranty is still limited to loss by expropriation of his.original
six-million-dollar investment.-'
^ The fact that this guaranty is given for Jordan is worth special
note, for Jordan is one of the poorest and least stable countries
in the whole Middle East.'
JORDAN CANT BEGIN to support itself or its thousands of Arab
refugees from Israel. Jordan has existed on British military sub-
sidies of about 30 million dollars a year in the past. Jordan is now
supposed to get a like subsidy from Egypt, Syria and Saudi Arabia.
Jordan's government is so weak there has even been talk of split-,
ting the country up among its neighbors.
t Into this bleak situation steps the courageous Mr. Pauley. * And
the U.S. government, eyes wide open, goes right along with him
to insure him against loss by expropriation.
• The gamble is that if Pauley strikes oil, he may be able to give
Jordan some honest income of its own. And if that happens, it will
be contributing stability to the Middle East. -
p. Over the past eight years, since Congress set up this investment
guaranty program as an incentive for private foreign investment,
treaties authorizing such contracts have been signed with 33 foreigc
countries—15 Europe, 10 Latin America, 5 Asia, 3 Middle East
AS OF DEC. 31. 1956, expropriation guaranties had been given
to 31 American companies for a face value of 31 million dollars.
Biggest is Ford Motor Co.'s eight million contract covering auto-
motive production in Germany. Smallest is a $150,000 guaranty,
covering tapioca production in Thailand.
► In addition, 101 contracts for a total of 02 million dollars nave
given American firms guaranties on convertabiltty of their foreign
currency earnings into U.S. dollars.
So far, the government has not had to pay out one cent of loss
on these guaranties. And it has collected $1,800,000 in premiums.
