Plans To Strengthen Northern
Tier Alliance
ECONOMIC BOLSTERING OF JORDAN AND LEBANON
Washington, Nov. 15.
Plans are now being made to strengthen further the Northern Tier alliance in the Near East as the result of Soviet penetration in that area, according to diplomatic offi- cials here.
They understood that the Secretary of State, Mr John Foster Dulles, and the British Foreign Secretary, Mr Harola Macmillan, agreed at Geneva that the importance of the Northern Tier had not been diminished by present Soviet penetration into that area and the Mediterranean.

Language Of Scientists
The Duke Has An Argument
London, Nov, 15. Should scientists speak in a language that the man-in- the street can understand?
The Duke of Edinburgh and the Marquess of Salisbury, 82- year-old Lord President of the Council, had an argument about this here.
"Yes, they should,” said Lord Salisbury,
"No, they shouldn't," said the Duke of Edinburgh.
After 1, It was a bit unrea- sonable to expect scientists to express complicated scientifle ideas and concepts in the sort of language the ordinary chap can understand, the Duke of Edin burgh thought.
And it was a bit much to ask them to waste their time search- ing around for simple words to popularise what they had to say.
Powerful Support
