CHICAGO, Mar. 10 Vice
President Nixon, militantly re-

policy of peace without sur
render" says the United States
has atomic weapons cached in
the Pacific and will use them if
necessary.
Tactical atomic explosives
are now conventional and will be
used against the military targets
of any aggressive force" Mr..
Nixon said yesterday.
The Vice President, in Chicago
for speeches at st. Patrick's
Day programs, also touched on
another question of United
States relations with the Com
munists-the 1945 Yalta pact.
Il don't believe there actually
was any deliberate attempt to
sell us out to the Communists, Z"
Mr.. Nixon said in answer to a
question.
The Yalta comment arose
after his speech to the Execu-
tives Club. An unidentified man
asked from the floors: What
about Yalta?"
And Mr.. Nixon voiced the
comment about a "Sellout."
He said there was no doubt
that concessions given to the
Russians in the pact were det-
rimental to the United States
and the free world.
"The reason the concessions
were made was that the leaders
of the free world simply didn't
know what the Communist an
imal was like" the Vice Presi-
dent said. Another reason was
that we badly needed Soviet
support at the time for the con-
quest of Japan"
The fall of China to the Reds,
he said. could be laid directly
to the door of the pact, and "of
course it naturally followed that
we had war in Korea and one
in Indo-China."

Burns BIames Israel
For Clash, but Cites
Egyptian InfiIiration
BY the Assoeiased Press


UNITED NATIONS. N. Y, Mar.
18-Security Council members
today studied a personal report
by the United Nations Palestine
truce chief on the February 20
GAIA battle in preparation for
further debate on the Egyptian
Israeli fighting.
The 11-nation group recessed
its formal discussion yesterday
after Canadian Mai. Gen. E. L.
M: Burns. head of the truce
supervision organization, made it
plain that he held Israel respon-
sible for the clash in which 80
Egyptians and 8 Israelis died.
But Gen. Burns report also
upheld an Israeli contention that
continued Egyptian inf1ltration
across the border is one of the
main causes of tension in the
Holy Land. He said Egyptian au-
thorities should take appropri-
ate measures" to stop such
moves.
Egypt Suggests Sanctions
The Council adjourned sub
je6t to call by its president,
Selim Sarper of Turkey. Its next
meeting probably will be Tues
day or Wednesday.
Egyptian Ambassador Omar
Loutfi called on the Council to
punish Israel as an aggressor. He
suggested it might even invoke
sanctions-economic, political or
mnitary-to prevent another
such incident.
Israeli sources indicated they
expect the Council to limit itself
toslesser action.
The U. N. truce chief told the
Council his investigators found
that Israeli army troops launched
the attack on an Egyptian mill
tafy camp near GAIA and a
truckload of Egyptian REIN
fotcements. He termed the clash
the most serious between Egypt
and Israel since the 1949 armis-
tice.
COntributory Causes Cited
But Gen. Burns said it was
most important to assess the
causes contributory to this grave
incident. Citing Israeli charges
of Egyptian spying, murder and !
sabotage inside Israel, he added: |
1.-THE GAIA incident could ap- !
pear in this context as retalia-
tien for the spying, sabotage and |
murders for which the Egyptian !
military intelligence service was
said to be responsible"
The truce chief said tension /
between the two countries also
had been heightened by Egypt's |
seizure of the Israeli freighter
Bat Calm at Suez last Septem-
Der 20 and her execution of two
Jews in Cairo in January as
Zionist spies.
Mr.. Loutfi. without referring
to: Gen. Burns report. asked the
Council to move against Israel
under chapter seven Of the U. N.
charter. This section provides
that, to enforce its resolutions,
the Council may call for sever
arce of diplomatic relations,
economic blockade or even mill
tary action against a recalcitrant
nation.
:Eban Throws Away Speech
Israeli Ambassador Abba Ehan
threw away a speech he had
for the meeting. He
planned to study Gen. Burns re-
port before writing a new one.
The Russians, however, fatty
blamed Israel. In his first address
tothe Council as new permanent
Soviet representative to the
U.=N., Arkady A. Sobolev said
the facts showed Israel to be re-
sponsible for the GAIA incident.
But Mr.. Sobolev also said
1sraels talk about tension in the
Middle East could not be ignored.
He declared this came from q
policy of certain states"-pre-
the Western powers
to yet up military blocs there.
