Allies Free to Sell Arms
To Isroe|is, Dulles Says

Dulles said. perhaps there would
be only consultations with the
congressional leaders.
Mr.. Dulles was asked whether
there was an expectation of an
emergency and whether the ad-
ministration had any plans for
asking Congress for a special
resolution.
No Emergency FOreseen
Mr.. Dulles replied that he did
not foresee an emergency and
the administration has no plans
to ask for congressional action
at this time.
He said he thought the Amer
ican resolution before the United
Nations Security Council today
will contribute appreciably to
minimizing the risk of a Middle
East war. Among other things,
the resolution provides for a
Middle East mission by U. N
Security General Dag Ham,
marskjold.
Mr.. Dulles was not alarmed
at the alleged anti-West state
ments by Egyptian Premier Mas
ser. Mr.. Dulles said he is not
disposed to believe there is any
irrevocable decision by Mr.. Mas
ser to repudiate his ties to the
West or accept vassalage under
the Soviet Union.

Secretary of State Dulles said
today the United States does
not object TO other Western
powers shipping arms to Israel.
The United States, however,
has made no change in its policy
Of refusing arms to Israel for the
present.
Both France and Canada have
moved recently to send limited
arms to Israel. Canada in par
ticular feels that Israel should
not get the impression it has
been forgotten.
Mr.. Dulles was asked at a
news conference today whether
the shipment of arms by other
countries contributes TO the
stability of the Middle East.
Mr.. Dulles replied that the
United States has no view to the
contrary that would lead us to
interpose objections.
Won't Try to Dictate
At another point, Mr.. Dulles
was asked again about other ma
tons who ship arms to Israel.
He replied that there was no
decision on the part of the
United States to dictate to other
countries what their policies
should be.
AS for the American policy, he
referred reporters to a state
ment he made to the Senate For
eign Relations Committee Feb
ruary "a. At that time. Mr..
Dulles said:
The United States does not
exclude the possibility of arms
as sales to Israel at a time when
it will preserve the peace. We do
not exclude the possibility of
arms sales to the other Arab
states under similar conditions. F."
Mr.. Dulles, in answer to an
inquiry, said President Essen
hover would not be disposed to
use American forces in the
Middle East without consultation
with and concurrence of Con-
greSs unless some emergency
arose that did not allow time
for such action with Congress.

State political leaders were at
odds as to what would constitute
a fair test of the relative
strength of Mr.. Eisenhower and
Senator Kefauver.
Philleo Nash of Wisconsin
Rapids, State Democratic chair
man, said any gain over the
1852 record. when Democratic
delegate candidates got only IS
per cent of the total State vote,
would show a shift in favor Of
his party.
Phil Kuehn of Milwaukee,
State G. o. P. chairman, said
he expects the Eisenhower slate
to carry at least so per cent of
the total vote. He said the
Democrats could not claim that
they had gained any ground un-
less Kefauver delegates got more

Democrat Gain Expected
Mr.. Kuehn added he expects
the Democrats to gain over their
1852 showing because hot con-
tests for Mayor in Milwaukee
and Madison-two Democratic
strongholds-will bring out the
vote.
Many political observers will
disregard the 1852 presidential
primary in their calculations to
figure the comparative strength
of Mr.. Eisenhower and Senator
Kefauver.
Mr.. Eisenhower was not en-
tered in the 1852 primary, but a
hot fight among three other Re-
publicans helped spark a record
turnout of more than million
voters. Senator Kefauver won
all the delegates against only
token opposition on the Demo-
cratic side.

There was no question that
