We can be sure there would be a great outcry if this were to occur. Yet, to millions of the Buddhist faith in Ceylon, Nepal, China, Japan, Thoiland, Burma, Indo-china, and elsewhere in Asia, Lhasa is holier than Vatican City or Jerusalem. The Chinese Communists will lose the respect they had been gaining in these countries if they crush the re-volt in Tibet. Yet the Free world and particularly the U. S., to whom free Asia looks for leader-ship, is gaining no great respect for its inaction during the revolt. The most vocal condemnation of the Red Chinese suppression of the revolt in Tibet is being The tragedy of the Hungarian anti communist revolt in 1956, which the Free World vowed would never again be allowed to occur, is happening all over I again in Tibet. j And, except for periodic con demnation by the State Depart-ment of Red China's ruthless suppression of the revolt, vir-tually nothing else is being done about it. Yet, without even con-sidering the possibility of armed intervention, which would be fool hardy, there is a whole series of steps the administra-tion is being called upon to take as the revolt rages on. . The rebellion against the Chi-nese Communists in Tibet, hold-ing the world's attention, is not new. This colunmist was one of the first to report the developing tragedy there more than six months ago. Then again, during heard from the discredited Ching Kai-she- k regime on Formosa. Chiang has pledged Tibet its in-dependence if Tibet will continue to resist the Red Chinese until Chiang recaptures the China mainland, which he could not hope to do without American aid. There are few here or else-where who would commit the U. S. to an invasion of Red China in support of Chiang, to crush the revolt in Tibet. There may be many who wonder why the United States can supply such the week of December 7 last year when reliable sources told of the heroic, heart-breakin- g resistance to the Chinese Reds, the United Nations was called upon to act. However, the UN then in its haste to adjourn for Christmas, took no action. These and subse-quent appeals still are being vir-tually ignored, and Tibet is de-scribed as a "situation too touchy to talk about" at the UN. A double tragedy of the revolt in Alaska-size- d Tibet is that the Red Chinese should have an-nounced during the Easter holy a pro-commun- ist regime is Indo-nesia with military aid but re-fuse to smuggle in supplies to the 1959 Freedom Fighters in Tibet. Yet it is easy to understand that an armed intervention in Tibet would be virtually impos-sible. It could be done by air from Pakistan, which is pro-weste- rn and anti-communist.- India, appeasing Red China, will days that Lhasa, the capital, was "being restored to order." We have no clear idea of what great cost of life and bloodshed the revolt ni Lhasa may have been crushed. But we know that it must have been enormous. Even the Indians, who have re-peatedly appeased the Red Chi-nese in Tibet, have reported a "great loss of life," and admit that the revolt is raging more furiously in the provinces out-side Lhasa. Lhasa, the Great Golden City, and roof of the world, is a "Vati-can City" to the Buddhist faith. The stories of airplane bombings and great fires raging in Lhasa suggest that it is being system-atically destroyed by the Reds in crushing the revolt. To Bud- - continue to refuse any access to Tibet through India or Nepal, which are the principal routes to the remote Himalayan Mountain kingdom. In any event, there does not seem to be any great enthusiasm in the U. S. for risk-ing war to aid Tibet. But it expressed public opinion is any guide, there are demands that the U. S. should be "doing Salt Lake Appraiser Cains High Honor B. Saunders Brooks, SRA of 455 East Fourth South St., has been approved as a senior mem-ber of the Society of Residential Appraisers by action of Board of Governors of the Interna-tional Society. A professional organization for appraisers of residential real es-tate, it numbers over . 12,000 members of whom about 2,500 are in the select senior classifi-cation which carries the profes-sional endorsement of the or-ganization. Mr. Brooks will be listed in the annual roster recommending qualified appraisers to thousands of clients among insurance com-panies, mortgage lenders and the investing public. Their ap-proval is based on their experi-ence, abilitv. knowledge of cur-- rent real estate conditions and ethical standards. A graduate of Southern Meth-odist University, Mr. Brooks is District Manager Mortgage Loan Department of Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company. He is a member of the Utah Chapter of the Society of Residential Appraisers. The Society sponsors 127 chap-ters in citeis throughout the U.S., Hawaii and Canada, where mem-bers meet monthly to exchange ideas of appraising problems, learn the latest market trends, keep track of changing con-struction costs and develop a broader knowledge of economic changes and appraisal regula-tions. something." Although neither Tibet or Red China are UN members, the U.S. is being urged to call an im-mediate emergency session of the UN to at least "study" the revolt in Tibet. What ever else this might accomplish, it would ally the US with the neutralist na-tions of Asia, each of which have heavy Buddhist majorities, and woudl emphasize the propaganda religious defeat Red China suf-fers even though it may crush the revolt. The U. S., through the Inter-national Red Cross, could offer emergency economic aid and medical supplies to Tibet. India, while refusing military aid to flow through Nehru-lan- d to Tibet would not be expected to oppose a flow of nurelv medical relief. I President Eisenhower could immediately call the brother ofl the Dalai Lama, Thumoten Jime Norbu, to a White House confer-ence of Asian experts to discuss the Tibetan crisis. Norbu is now visiting friends in Washington state. The forthcoming SEATO con-ference in New Zealand could convene a week earlier, inviting the Buddhist neutralist countries of Asia, as observers, specifical-ly to discuss the crisis in Tibet. The White House could put Krushchev on the spot with Red China by demanding that Moscow, through its "good of-fices" with Peiping, intervene to stop , the bloodshed, or if not, to permit a UN investigation team. But alas! The likelihood is that as in Hungary, the U. S. will do nothing really effective again. And the anti-Communi- sts in Ti-bet, like Hungary's anti-Re- d re-volt, will also be betrayed. Rep. King Gets Word On Lead-Zin- c Quotas Rep. David S. King Thursday received personal assurances from Interior Secretary Fred A. Seaton that his department is seriously considering Mr. King's recommendation that the Presi-dent extend important quotas on lead and zinc to include products of the two minerals. In a one hour meeting with the Secretary, Mr. King, along with Reps. Charles Brown of Ohio, Denver Hargis of Kansas, and Ed Edmondson of Oklahoma, urged Mr. Seaton to use his de-partment's influence to tighten existing quotas. Mr. King and his Congression-al colleagues charged that do-mestic buyers were stepping up their imports of lead and zinc products as a way of getting around the import restructions which Mr. Eisenhower placed in the fall on ore concentrates and slabs of these metals. Imports, the congressmen said, which are not covered by the present quotas include zinc dust, sheet, oxide, lead pipe, sheet and shot, white lead, red lead, and litharge. "With this gap in the import restrictions, the plight of the domestic miners is more critical than ever," they said. ' Mr. Seaton told them: "We are keeping a close eye on im-port trends in such items as zinc oxide and litharge, and such items may have to be included in the quotas." The secretary emphasized, how-ever, that this would be a matter for residential HpHsinn frt h made in the light of the over-a-ll picture. He said he believed the import quotas imposed last fall has already improved the do-mestic lead and zinc picture. Mr. King said first hand re-ports from the Utah mining in-dustry convinced him there had been no improvement in the Utah outlook since the Sepetm-be- r quotas were imposed. The present quota system appeared to offer little hope for domestic producers without additional re-structions on allowable imports.
