West European Press
Hits Rayburn Warning
OF Soviet Troop Threat
By WiIIiom n. Stonemon
Foreign Correspondent Of The Stor and
the Chicago Dolly News

PARIS, April 10.-A wave Of re-
sentiment swept Western Europe
today as the result of what news
papers hint is deliberate attempt
by the American Government to
alarm the public by fake reports
of Soviet troop concentrations.
Papers of every color, including
many that are chronically friendly
to the United States and the At
lantic pact. have joined in casting
doubt on reports from Gen. Mac
Arthur's headquarters, the state
Iment by Speaker Sam Rayburn
and even the reference of Defense
Secretary Marshall to the ter
Irible danger" in which the United
States finds itself.
Today the British Foreign Office
was being widely quoted in sup
port of the theme that these re-
ports are purely and simply
Ialarmist.
If it is proved that these reports
are indeed without real founda-
ton, the United States will have
suffered irreparable harm at a
time when it is trying to rally
Europe to a serious and painful
rearmament program for it's own
defense. No quantity of exhorta-
tions will be able to undo the fact,
if it is fact, that the United
States has been shouting wolf.
If on the other hand the infor-
nation is correct and Soviet at
tacks are being mounted in the
Far East or the Balkans, then it
is urgent that the facts be pro-
duced to support the charges and
that the governments Of Western
Europe be informed.
In that case the British gov
ernment certainly should be cau-
toned to refrain from critical
comment on American reports.

u. S. Rebukes Israel
For Retaliation Raid

The United States, urging both
Israel and Syria to refrain from
further violence, has rebuked
Israel for bombing Syrian fortifi-
cations in retaliation for the kill
ing Of seven Israeli policemen.
American concern Is to prevent
the border dispute from flaring
into new war between the Jews
and Arabs in an area where only
communism could be expected to
profit from it. a...
Israel has been told, the State
Department disclosed yesterday.
that the killing of the Israeli po-
licemen in the Huleh border area
in no way justified" last weeks
retaliatory bombing.
Under an agreement made last
May Is to consult in the event
of any violation or threat to
United Nations plans for keeping
peace between Israel and neigh
boring Arab states, the United
States began discussions with
Great Britain and France last
Saturday, it was disclosed.
1t was also reported from Paris
and London that Britain and
France have urged Israel and
Syria to show restraint in thei1
troubles. Both Syria and Israel
have been asked to refrain from
further acts of violence, the State
Department said. f.
The latest clash between Israel
and an Arab neighbor is over the
Huleh border area where the
Israeli government has started
draining marshland. Part Of the
area is within a demilitarized zone
from which both countries agreed
last year to withhold military
forces.
The Israel government on We'd
nesday announced Syrian troops
had crossed the border into the
zone. occupied a village and killed
seven policemen. In retaliation,
Israeli planes the next day bombed
the village and Syrian fortiflca-
tions.
On Friday both complained to
the United Nations, and Assistant
Secretary of State George c. Nc
Ghee called in the Syrian and
Israeli ENJOYS to urge peace.
Both were told. the State De-
partment said. that such incidents
contribute to instability Gin an
important area of the world at q
time when the critical conditions
Of international affairs can i'll
afford such situation"
Mr.. McGhee told Israeli Am
bassador Abba Eban, the depart
ment said. that Israel's future de-
pends on friendly relations with
the Arab states, and incidents of
this kind "can only postpone the
achievement by Israel of sound
neighborly relations"
The United States also has in
structed its ENJOYS in Syria and
Israel to urge both governments
to withdraw forces from the de-
'militarized zone and "act in ac-
cord with the findings of the
United Nations"
The U. N. Security Council, Of
f1cials said, is expected to take up
the dispute this week or next.
