Clear
Will Attempt
To Localize,
End Strife
WASHINGTON, Oct. SI </P)
—President Dwight D. Eisen
hower said tonight the United
States will steer clear of “in
volvement” in the Middle
East fighting, will strive to
localize it and end “this torment
ing problem.”
; In a television-radio address to
the nation, the President said it
; was an “error” for Britain, France
; anctTsrael to launch their attacks
: on Egypt, though he asserted they
I had “grave and repeated provoca
tions.”
To Go to General Assembly
He announced that the United
States, having been vetoed by the
British and French in the United
Nations Security Council, would
now turn to the UN General As
sembly, “where the opinion of the
world can be brought to bear” m
an effort to stop the hostilities.
Even as the President spoke,
the Security Council voted to call
the General Assembly into ses
sion within hours. The vote was
7-2, with Britain and France dis
senting but unable under the par
liamentary circumstances to
wield a veto again.
Stevenson Telegram
Shortly before the President
broadcast bis pledge of no Ameri
can “involvement” in the hostili
ties, Adlai E. Stevenson, Demo
cratic presidential nominee, an
nounced he had telegraphed Eis
enhower expressing the hope
“that you will- not commit us to
any precipitate mili’.ary action.”
White House press secretary
James C. Hagerty told newsmen
the President’s “no involvement’*
remarks were not dictated in any
way by Stevenson’s wire because
the President “nevef_heard” of
the telegram before beginning his
speech at 7 p.m., EST.
No Congressional Session
Eisenhower ruled out any spe
cial session of Congress to deal
with the Middle East emergency
but promised to keep in close con
tact with congressional leaders on
the swift developments.
The President, seemingly grave
and tense, laid down this govern
ment's policy in a 15-minute ad
dress from his office which was
beamed simultaneously around
the world by the Voice of Amer
ica.
Reported Angry, Shocked
The President had been report
ed angry and shocked at the Brit
ish-French decision to attack
Egypt, but his speech tonight
avoided any harsh denunciation
of them or Israel. He did make
clear he opposes this resort to
force.
“We believe these actions to
have been taken in error,” he
said, “for we do not accept the
use of force as a wise or proper
instrument for the settlement of
international disputes.”

The results of the "vote" are
to be printed in Tuesday's Col
