Israel and Egypt Asked
Bv U.S.. to Shun Force
Both Nations
Silent on
Border Offer
BY JAMES E. ROPER

Secretary of State Dulles dis
closed today that the United
States has asked both Israel and
Egypt to refrain from the use
of force in their border dispute.
Mr.. Dulles told a news con-
ference that the American rep
RESERVATIONS we're made in the
last 48 hours at Cairo and Tel
Aviv,
He said neither Israel nor the
Arab states had reacted to his
offer for the United States to
help guarantee an agreed Israeli
border and help finance resettle-
ment of Arab refugees from Is
rael.
| Mr.. Dulles made the offer last
week amid reports that Russia
was Offering arms to the Arabs.
Today Mr.. Dulles said there are
indications that such Soviet of
fers may have been made. These
indications, he said, are of some
reliability, but are not official.
U. S. Would Not Be Happy
Mr.. Dulles, under questioning.
said that any Soviet arms ship
ments to the Arabs certainly
would not contribute to relaxing
of tensions. He said the United
States would not be happy about
such a development because Of
the possible policy implications.
He said, however, that he had
no information that Arabs al
ready had received any Com.
munist arms. He believed they
were getting their military
equipment from non-Communist
areas.
Mr.. Dulles also offered the
following reports on these other
international problems:
Cold War-East-west disarma-
ment talks now going on in New
York provide the first test Of the
so-called new spirit Of Geneva.
The next big test win come at
the Big Four foreign ministers
meeting in October when Euro
pean security and unification
of Germany will be discussed.
THE important thing to remem-
Der, however, is that the spirit
lof Geneva was not an end In
itself but a means of achieving
concrete results.

be reflected until the Big Four

Need $40 Million
The national Red Cross has
been seeking a goal of So mil
lion for the relief of food suf-
|ferers in the Northeastern
States. Late estimates nave put
the fund need at $40 million.
The Red Cross launched the
special appeal for relief funds
because of the magnitude of the
food devastation, which created
needs far in excess of the regular
disaster budget. a spokesman
said.
OF the $85 million goal of the
nationwide campaign this year
about $40 million went to the

Mr.. Bell said of the local drive

ShigemitsuSees
Need for Plan 10
End Occupation
Fuvors Buildup
OF Jopun's Defense
On Gradual Busis

Japanese Foreign Minister
Mamoru Shigemitsu declared to-
day that Japan should rapidly
end its reliance on the United
States for national defense.
Japan and the United States,
he said, should work out a plan
Ito eliminate such frictions as
are bound to arise from the
presence of foreign troops on our
soil"
This was an implied call for
the gradual with drawal of
American ground forces from
Japan. He outlined his defense
ideas in a National Press Club
speech, after comforting this
morning with Pentagon officials.
Secretary of State Dulles told
a news conference that the ques-
ton of the eventual American
withdrawal may come up during
a late afternoon conference he
scheduled today with Mr.. Shige-
Imitsu. Mr.. Dulles declined to
comment on the troop problem
prior to the discussion with Mr..
Shigemitsu.
Mr.. Dulles said that his open
ing talk with Mr.. Shigemitsu
yesterday involved only a gen.
eral exchange, with more con-
crete problems being left over
for today. Mr.. Dulles said the
opening talks were carried on in
an atmosphere Of friendliness
which already has demonstrated
its usefulness.
Mr.. Shigemitsu gave no de-
tails in shis speech. but it was
understood that he had a six
year program for the gradual
build-up Of Japanese defense
forces and a corresponding cut
back In American infantry COM
imitments in Japan.
Favors Solid Partnership
II think the time has now
come" he said in his speech,
when our two countries should
review our defense relationship
and put it on a solid partnership
basis that will permit us increas-
Iingly to bear an equitable share
of the burden of responsibility
for keeping the peace in the area
of Our common interest.
1--WE should coordinate plans
and establish goals for our COM
mon defense so that we may
rapidly put an end to continued
reliance on a foreign power fol

succeeded in convincing Congress-
men that a light out on the shoals
was an absolute necessity in spite
of all of the difficulties of such a
venture. A bill was passed author
izing Eelts and his associates to
undertake the construction of a
lighthouse on Diamond Shoals
with the guarantee that the Fed
eral government would pay them
$750,0O0 for the structure after it
had stood the test of wind and
wave for period of five years. If
Capt. Eells' proposed lighthouse
proved failure he and his asso-
ciates were to be the losers.
The third lighthouse proposed
for Diamond Shoals was to have
been a steel tower built on con-
crete foundation and sunk deep in
the ocean bed off Cape Hatteras.
Elaborate plans were made and a
considerable amount of money was
spent surveying the location be-
fore Capt. Eells and his associates
were convinced that they couldn't
compete with the wrath OF the
Atlantic Ocean off Hatteras and
the project was abandoned.
No further attempts have been
made to build a lighthouse at sea
off Cape Hatteras and since that
time lightships have ridden the
waves off Diamond Shoals to warn
mariners of the dangers there.
Although driven ashore several
times during severe storms, sunk
by an enemy U-boat during World
War 1, lightships off Hatteras
have proven far more effective,
some say than a lighthouse ever
would in that dangerous and ex-
posed position.

ample space for operating a light
house so far out at sea. The main
floor of the new Diamond Shoals
lighthouse was to have $50 feet of
floor space for a watch and Ian
tern room containing signalling
equipment costing $4,000, includ-
ing a most powerful lens, lamp
and fog horn.
Everything went well for sew
eral days after the caisson was
sunk at the location off Diamond
Shoals; the weather was clear, the
sea calm, and it looked as though
the intrepid engineers from An
derson and Barr would be success
full in their difficult undertaking.
But they had to reckon with the
weather.
On July s came one of those sud-
den and violent storms that so fire.
quently sweep over Diamond
Shoals. Within an hours time the
great iron cylinder was torn apart
by the storm-tossed waves, men,
boats and gear were swept away
in the swirling currents, and what
was to have been the first light
house out on Diamond Shoals sank
out of sight beneath the raging
seas.
Determined that the failure of
1891 should not end the matter, the
U. S. Lighthouse Board decided
that a second attempt would be
made to establish light out on
the shoals. Accordingly, in May,
1894, more apparatus was as
sembled at Newport News, Va,
this time for boring holes deep in
the sandy bottom of the ocean off
Cape Hatteras with the idea of
finding out if a screw-pile struc-
ture could be safely erected there.
An expedition headed by julius
E. Rettig, superintendent of con-
struction for the lighthouse board,
set out for Diamond Shoals early
in June, 1894, where after consid-
cradle difficulty tests were made
and an iron framework left out on
the shoals which stood the terrific
pounding of the sea for almost
year before it was swept away by
a severe storm.
No further attempts were made
to build lighthouse out on Dia-
mond Shoals until 1904 when one
Capt. Albert F. Eells, a Boston
sea captain who had almost lost
his vessel in a storm off Hatteras,
