French War
Displayed
TEL AVIV, Israel, April 16 (IP)—French artillery and jet
fighters were paraded at Haifa today in a show of strength
on Israel's Independence Day.
The air force put on display for the first time 12 Ouragan
fighters as part of Israel's eighth celebration as an inde
pendent state.
The show of military might,
came as the country's leaders are,
warning of the critical danger of
a second round of war with the
Arab states.
Advanced Jet Absent
But the more advanced French
Mystere jet fighter did not make
its appearance. There was no con-'
firmtion of a report from Israeli
military sources that 12 Mysteres
had been received. These infor
mants had said yesterday the
Mysteres would make their debut
in today's air show, and had in
dicated they would help balance,
MIGIS jet fighters Egypt is get-1
ting from the Communist bloc.
The 12 Ouragans, a prototype
of the Mystere and said to be,
capable of a top speed of 600
miles an hour, roared overhead
as a batter of 155 mm French ar
tillery passed the reviewing
stand.
U.S. Rules Out
Baghdad Pact
Membership
TEHRAN, Iran, April 16 (/')—
The United States ruled out
American membership in the
Baghdad Pact todaj despite direct
appeals from two members for it
tojoin.
Loy Henderson, deputy under
secretary of state who is attend
ing a council meeting of the al
liance as an observer, promised
the delegates the United States
would cooperate closely with the
pact members. But he pointed out
that "it is our sincere desire to
retain close, friendly and effec
tive ties with other nations in the
area."

of diplomats at the meeting that
the United States is staying out
of the alliance in order not to
offend Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Syria
and other Arab nations in the
present Middle East crisis.
The council, holding its second
meeting in the ornate reception
hall of the Foreign Ministry, heard
direct appeals for U.S. member
ship from Premier Hussein Ala of
Iran and Premier Nuri Said of
Iraq. The pact nations are Tur

Iran.
Premier Said, who heads the
only Arab nation in the pact, also
called for U.S. adherence, to fur
ther the "peaceful and defensive"
objectives of the alliance.

The Ouragans, mounting four
guns and equipped with rocket
launchers, were received from
France some time ago. They fol
lowed five formations of World
War II type Harvards, Spitfires,
Mosquitos, Mustangs and British
Meteor jet fighters.
Thousands cheered the 40-min
ute parade of representative units
of frontier police, paratroopers
and other forces which passed in
review before President Izhak
Ben-Zvi, Premier David Ben-Gur
ion and Maj. Gen. Moshe Dayan,
army chief of staff.
Display Curtailed
It was obvious to spectators
that the military display had been
curtailed because Israeli forces
were mostly engaged in manning
the frontiers.
Israel celebrated its indepen
dtnce on the eve of UN Secretary
General Dag Hammarskjold's ar
rival here.

Resignation
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, April
16 (W)—Vulko Wolf Chervenkov,
accused by his Red colleagues of
aping Stalin's one-man rule, re
signed today as premier of Com
munist Bulgaria.
The Moscow-trained strongman,
55, submitted his resignation at a
special session of the Bulgarian
Parliament in Sofia.
He is the first high-ranking
Communist to hit the skids as a
result of the Kremlin's recent
campagin against the "personality
cult" of Stalinism.
A man familiar with terrorist
Methods, he was an active expo
nent of the political and economic
drive of the Soviet bloc against
Yugoslavia that grew out of Sta
lin's split of 1948 with President
Tito— a split the new Russian
leadership wants to patch up.
His successor is expected to be
chosen tomorrow.
Speculation centered on two
men—Gen. Ivan Mikhailov and
Anton Yugov.
