Mid-East, Israeli Policy
Assailed by UN, Demos
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Feb. 11 (/P>—
Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold
warned the UN Assembly today against im
posing sanctions on Israel. He said collective
measures by the UN now may add new con
flicts instead of bringing peace toi
the Middle East, i i
In a special report to the As
sembly, Hammarskjold said his
efforts to create conditions of
peace in the troubled area have
been frustrated. He did not place
the blame direct y on any coun
try but the repor showed that he
regarded Israel’s :otal withdrawal
from Egypt as th: essential start
ing point on the long road to
peace.
Israel Stand
While Israel st 30d firm on de
mands for definite guarantees be
fore getting out (f Egypt and the
big powers, espetially the United
States, studied what to do. Ham
marskjold put the issue squarely
tip to the Assembly. He asked the
Assembly to indi:ate as a matter
of priority how it desires him to
proceed with further steps to car
ry out the Assembly decisions
calling for the withdrawal of Is
rael from Egypt.
Assembly Meeting
The Assembly will meet either
tomorrow or Wednesday to de
bate Hammarskjdld’s report.
In the report, written during the
weekend after several conferences
between Hammarskjold and Is
rael’ Ambassador Abba Eban. the
secretary general made these
points:
1. Israel has not made clear
whether its civil administration
would be pulled out of the Gaza
Strip with the military force if
the UN found a way to protect
Israeli interests there.
2. Israel has not answered Ham
marskjold’s question whether the
UN Emergency Force would be
permitted to occupy posts on the
Israeli side of the 1949 armistice
demarcation line as well as on
the Egyptian side.
3. Egypt has reaffirmed private
ly that it will observe fully the
provisions of the 1949 armistice.
NEA Suggests
School Grants
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11 (IP)—
The National Education Assn, to
day suggested to Congress a com
promise of conflicting formulas
for distributing proposed federal
school construction aid to the
states.
Earl J. McGrath, former U.S!
commissioner of education, urged
the lawmakers to take the “mid
dle ground” between proposals
for flat grants based solely on
school-age population and varia
ble grants based on state needs.
The NEA compromise would
distribute fixed grants to all
states according to the number of
children, with additional “equal
izing” grants going to states ac
cording to their relative financial
ability to pay for needed class
rooms.
Under such a formula, McGrath
said “wealthy” states like New
York and California would re
ceive $9.14 per child while “poor
er” states like Mississippi and
Arkansas would receive up to
$22.50 per child.

Knowiand Asks
Security Group
To Ban Veto
WASHINGTON, Feb. .11 (IP)—
Sen. William F. Knowiand (R. —
Calif.) tonight called on the
United Nations Security Council
to ban use of the veto by any na
tion involved in an international
dispute.
Knowiand, the Senate’s min
ority leader and a member of
the American delegation to the
UN, said that if the Soviet
Union walks out of the inter
national organization as the re
sult of such an action, "so be it."
“If the actions of the U.S.S.R.
during the Korean and Hungar
ian conflicts are examples of whati
we must contemplate for the fu
ture, the United Nations will have!
a better chance of survival with
out the Soviet Union than with!
it,” he declared.
Knowiand gave his views in.
a speech prepared for a George
town University lecture. He ex
pects to discuss them with other
UN delegates during a visit to
New York tomorrow. !
The . senator said there arei
plenty of “legalistic arguments”
why nothing can be done to
change the form of the UN.
He proposed, however, that Se-I
curity Council members put into
effect a provision of the charter
which says that “a party to a dis
pute shall abstain from voting.”
‘‘lf the Soviet Union makes a
point of order that they are ex
empt, let the point of ordef be
overruled by the chair and the
ruling sustained by the other Se
curity Council members,” he said.

For More Trade
Between Countries
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11 (£>) _
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
commended today a national pol
icy of fostering mutually profit-!
able trade with other countries.!
He said it bolsters America’s
prosperity and our national se
curity.” 1
* He also said, in a message to
Congress, that international com
merce is conducive to bringing
“lasting peace” to the world.
He offered these ideas in a mes
sage from his vacation headquar
ters at Thomasville, Ga., accom
panying an annual report on op
erations of the reciprocal trade
agreements program.
It was the first report on the
program, under a new require
ment of Congress, although the
reciprocal trade law has been on
the books many years. In extend

Isehood” during the hot debate.
“ At issue was President Dwight
;D. Eisenhower’s request for au
thority to use U.S. armed forces
jin the Middle East if he deemsi
lit to repel Red aggres- 1
Ision.
The attack on Dulles was made
by Sens. George S. Long (D.-La.)
and Wayne Morse (D.-Ore.) Morse!
declared: “I know of no more de-i
ceptive person in public life than
John Foster Dulles.”
GOP’s Defend Dulles
Several Republicans went toj
l Dulles’ defense. Sen. Prescott |
Bush of Connecticut called Dulles]
“a very noble gentleman . . . a
man of high honor.” j
Other developments in the ex-1
panding Middle East debate: !
1. The Senate Foreign Relations!
and Armed Services committees
finished their combined hearings
on Eisenhower’s Middle East reso
lution. Amendments will be tac
kled tomorrow and a joint com
mittee vote may come on Thurs
|day. In addition to standby mili
tary authority, the resolution
]would empower the President to;
[spend 200 million dollars on eco-j
jnomic aid to Middle Eastern na-i
tions in the next four and one-'
half months. 1
2. A series of protests against:
singling out Israel for UN sanc
tion arose in the Senate and
jHouse. Members of both parties
| said any such policy in the Mid
idle East dilemma would be “gross
ly unfair” and “wrong.”
Long’s Criticism
Criticism of Dulles began with
Long saying Dulles told “a false
hood” to the two Senate commit
tees considering the Middle East
resolution.
Morse interjected that he has
so little faith in Dulles’ veracity
that if Dulles told him what time'
it was he’d check'with a clock.
Mediators Ease
Strike Threats
NEW YORK. Feb. 11 (/P>— The!
nation’s top labor peacemaker]
found some encouragement to
night in efforts to head off a,
threatened Tuesday strike of
45,000 longshoremen from Maine
!to Virginia.
“The talks have taken a more:
[encouraging turn for the better,”;
!said Joseph P. Finnegan, director]
lof federal mediation, shortly aft-j
|er he flew in from Washington.!
Finnegan got down to brass;
tacks with the top echelons of!
the Intemationl Longshoremen’s'
Assn. (Ind.) and the shippers. Hej
kept in touch by telephone with!
Secretary of Labor Mitchell as the
clock ticked away toward the 5
jp.m. Tuesday strike deadline. i
One of the stumbling blocks to]
agreement was a right-of-man
agement clause. Shippers demand-]
ed recognition by the ILA of their
right to final control of dock!
gangs. The ILA insisted that, in 1
some instances at least, employer]
decisions should-be subject to ar
bitration.
Redevelopment Plans Fail
T oOffset Employment Lag
WASHINGTON (/P) —A private study group says that re
development programs in Pennsylvania’s anthracite area
have falied substantially in efforts to offset the loss of jobs
in that region between 1946 and 1955.
But, said the National Planning Assn., yesterday, “the
redevelopment of the depressed anthracite communities has
recently been started in earnest”
and “the prospects are far from
discouraging.”
The NPA describes itself as a
nonprofit, nonpolitical organisa
tion devoted to planning in var
ious fields of economy.
| NPA Proposal
I It recommended that the federal
government extend to depressed
[areas in this country the same
[sort of technical aid it gives some
|foreign nations. Such a program
[should be carried out in coopera
tion with local and private agen
cies.
The NPA, a group of 20 indus
trialists and economists, suggest
ed other federal aids such as plant
financing through direct loans or
government guarantees of private
loans, and special types of tax ex
emptions to stimulate business ex
pansion.
Technical Assistance
A program of technical assis
tance “to explore and encourage
new business possibilities is the
[first kind of assistance to be giv
en,” the NPA said in a report by
a special committee headed by
William H. Miemyk, director of
business and economic research
at Northeastern University, Bos
ton.
• The report asserted that “al
though it is too early to tell how
[successful the development pro
gram might be in the long run,
[ Another proposal by the NPA
was a work relief program for
those who cannot find jobs else
where or who refuse to abandon
their homes to seek them. This
could be given either on public
I works or though government pro
icurement contracts to local firms.
[But the committee said even the
[more useful forms of work relief
are no true substitute for. "unsub
sidized employment, which must
be the main objective” of any aid
I program.
