Robbery Suspect
Seized at Work

Police had ample help from
two interested citizens in grab
bling an 18-year-old housebreak-
ing suspect early today.
The suspect. Arthur George
Graham. colored, of the 600 block
of @ street NV, was taken
to District General Hospital fol-
head cuts and bruises before
going to the central cell block
OF Municipal Court to await &C.
ton on HOUSEKEEPING charges
Graham ran into rough going
after he had awakened Mrs
Martha Witherspoon, SIS, of 1907
Fifteenth street NV, and de-
manded her purse. He held q
toy pistol taken from a drawer
in the house. police said.
The noise aroused Mrs. With
erSpoon's daughter, Mrs. Martha
johnson, who lives at hel
mothers home with her hus-
band. Edward Johnson, 81. Also
responding was Mrs. Wither-
spoons son John, 80.
They had Graham pinned
down and helpless by the time
police arrived. He had entered
the house by placing a ladder
against an open kitchen window,
police said.

they objected to assessing the
death penalty. Twenty were
dropped when they said they had
fixed opinions. Various reasons
were given by others excused fol

The States examination of the
jurors emphasizes it will seek tc

was that Russia as well as the
United States wants to avoid a
Middle East War.
The present crisis dates from
the revelation late last summer
that Communist Czechoslovakia
was ready to ship considerable
amounts Of weapons to Egypt.
Trouble for All
The belief is that the Soviet
saw this as a means of stirring
up trouble between Arabs and
Jews, and thus causing trouble
for the West, too.
But it is believed that the So
Wet never intended to provoke
Middle East war--a war which
could grow into a major East
West conflict. Western diplo-
mats have felt that Russia does
not want a world war at this
time.
The latest Soviet peace
statement on the Middle East
therefore, is taken in some quar-
tiers as an indication that the
Soviet feels that its Middle East
trouble-making has gone toe
far, so brakes should be applied
before the area plunges into
open warfare.
A wary attitude was mani
tested at the White House where,
after consulting President Eisen-
hover, Assistant Press Secretary
Murray Snyder made this COM
ment:
THE President on April 8
called on all members of the
United Nations to support the
administrations effort to achieve
peace in the Middle East.
THE administration is, of
course, still studying the Soviet
statement. but if it demonstrates
a real desire and determination
on the part of the Soviet Union
to back the United Nations
effort, the President welcomes
this support"
The Soviet declaration, issued
yesterday by the Moscow For
eign Office, said peace should be
established taking due consid-
Grafton of the just national
interests of the interested par
ties" Israelis and Arabs may
interpret that phrase differently
but most will agree that it is
far less pro-Arab than other
Soviet statements of the last
year.
May Chill Arab Hopes
This may chill any of the
Arabs hopes that Russia auto
matically would go to their aid
in case OF large-scale fighting
against Israel.
The Soviet statement opens q
whole new area of diplomatic
maneuvering which the Western
powers will have to face in
months to come. The Vests
diplomatic ordeal starts today
with the arrival of Soviet Pre-
mier Nikolai Bulganin and Com
munist Party Secretary in
London.
The Russians are expected to

try to line up the British in q
Iholier- than-Americ attitude to-
ward the Middle East. The Brit
ish will try to avoid being
trapped into a position that
looks as if the United States and
Britain are divided on the
Palestine issue.
The Moscow statement has
dealt the Soviet into the Middle
East dispute. This does not sur
prise American diplomats, who
have been preparing to handle
such a Russian bid. They placed
the issue before the United Ma
tions-which meant automati-
cally that Russia will participate
in the discussions.
Direct Warning to U. S.
The Soviet statement warned
that Moscow would consider il
legal and inadmissable any at
tempt to use the Arab-Israeli
conflict as an excuse to interfere
in internal affairs of Arab states
or to introduce foreign troops
into the Middle East.
This was direct warning to
the United States. President
Eisenhower and Secretary OF
State Dulles have spoken of using
American forces against the ag-
gresSor in an Israeli-Arab war
Such a move might include
the landing of United States
soldiers in the area. The Soviet
Union might be nearly as upset
at this as the United States
would be at the introduction OF
Soviet soldiers into the area.
