started out to be Arab Palestine.
This armistice. obtained by the
U. NJ. was supposed TO be only

Cured along the arrnistice line
between Egypt and her four Arab
neiqhbors: Lebanon. Syria. Jordan
and Egypt.
That arnistice line-besides the
Arabs hatred of the Jews and
their refusal to recognize Israel as
a state-was one of the sorest
points. While that line left Israel
in possession of most of what had
been Arab Palestine, Jordan held
a piece bordering on Jerusalem,
and Egypt had part called the
GAIA Strip. The U. N. armistice
also called for demilitarized zones.
Early this month fighting broke
out between the Egyptians and
Israelis in one of these zones =
called Ell Auja - on the frontier
between Egypt and Israel.
BY itself this would have been
bad enough. But the fighting
began shortly after Egypt report
edly had ordered 80 million dol
lars worth of arms from Commu-
mist Czechoslovakia. It meant Rus
sia was beginning to make solid
contact with the Arabs.
KEEP FRIENDSHIP
The West, but particularly the
United States, while helping Is

Arabs but to keep tn m away

Marines to Refiqht I'd Manassas With Air Cover
By ChorIes J. Yorbrouqh

There is something amiss
indeed when amateur military
tacticians gather and don't
wonder what air power would
have done to the Second Battle
of Manassas.
AS a matter of tactical fan
tasy, the limits of theory are
boundless but we'll bludgeoned
by discussion.
Not to alter history-pos-
sibly not even to answer the
Question-Marine Air ReserV-
lists are planning to superim-
pose air power on that savage
summer struggle at Washing
tons western door.
Marine Reserve fighter
squadrons from Anacostia,
Willow Grove, Philadelphia
and Norfolk will reflght the
noon phase of that battle
about August 30-the 93d an
niyersary.
They'll theoretically bomb
the vast Union stores on Aqua
Greek. They'll intercept ma
rauding Confederate aircraft
and they'll fly the reconnais-
sance which Gen. Porter could
so well have used when he
led his corps smack into
Thomas Jonathan Jackson's
stone wall.
For purposes of the opera
ton, the Norfolk squadron will
be attached to Longstreet's
Division of Lees Army.
Anacostia and Willow Grove
fighter planes will be with
Heintzelman'S Division under
Maj. Gen. Pope.
UnpIonned Outcome
Second Manassas wasn't ex-
actly an accident. but the
Union hadn't planned 1t quite
the way it came out. Gen.
Pope's forces were tinkefing
too much with Lees railroad
lines in order to draw the
Confederate forces away from
the highly vulnerable Union
Gen. Mcclellan who had ample
time to wish he had never
set foot on the Peninsula.
When the time came for his
withdrawal, the Union didn't
want Lee to be even near the
vicinity.
Another of many explana-
tons says that Lee was aware
that he had Mcclellan success
fully bottled on the peninsula
and wanted to move northward

cident Is o matter Of contro-
versy. The Israeli said it was
only the elimination of a long
series of border raids by
Egyptians. Israeli raiders,
they said. merely crossed the
border to protect Israeli citi-
zenS.
But the Egyptians said it
was an unprovoked attack by
Israelis on an Egyptian mill
tary outpost well within the
Egyptian frontier.
~ Killed in Fight
One thing was sure, how
ever. Some 80 Arabs and 8
Israelis were killed in a one
day battle.
The United Nations Security
Council called in representa-
tives of both countries for an
investigation Of the incident.
No formal decision was arrived
at, but statements by Security
Council members indicated
they thought Israel was to
blame. The Council said it
would summon the U. N. truce
supervisor in Palestine to re-
port on the incident. Both
sides we're urged to refrain
from provocation in the area.
Basic cause of the border
disputes was a matter for
argument. Some observers
say Israel has launched de-
liberate program of tough
ness" in order to pressure the
Arab countries into settling
the Arab-Israel dispute. Others
say the nature Of the hastily
drawn border around Israel
makes it inevitable that farm
ers will wander across the line
and spark incidents which can
easily grow to shooting pro-
portions.

to raises for servicemen and
postal workers.
1t was with considerable re-
lief that the congressional pay
bill was sent to the White
House. Congress had been re-
luctant to raise its own salaries
the voters might not under
Standard passage of the bill
was taking more time than
had been anticipated.
A last-minute argument over
a $3.50 tax-free expense &C
count for each Congressman
was settled last week when the
Senate had its way and threw
out the provision. The House
was disappointed. but the so
per cent increase in, regular
pay-from $4,000 a year to
$50, 500-was something Of a
consolation. The bill also in
cluded similar raises for Fed
eral judges and some Justice
Department officials.
The final compromise cleared
the Senate on voice vote, while
the House voted approval 223
to 113.
IS Pet. Increase
Meanwhile, the House Civil
Service ommittee recon-
mended pay increases for
postal workers and said it
would take up a civil service
pay bill later this month. The
Senate committee already has
approved pay raises for both
groups.
The House bill called for an
average boost of about rs per
cent. No one would get less
than 6 per cent and some post
masters and supervisory off,
Gals would get as much as 81
per cent.
Vote in the committee was
II to s. The minority indi-
Gated its only objection was
that the raise was too small.
They wanted 10 per cent. The
President. however, has re-
quested only 5 per cent-hence
the majority's compromise.
A House Armed Services
subcommittee last week voted
to raise the pay of career
servicemen. Increases would
range from 6 to Is per cent,
according to rank and length
of service. Rookie privates
and new second lieutenants
would get nothing-a feature
of the bill which may make it
politically unpalatable when
the measure comes to a vote.
