Pontiff approved the use Of
drugs to relieve pain even though
they shortened life. But he said
the drugs must not prevent
the carrying out of other moral
and religious duties"
The Pope based his 45-minute
address on questions posed last
fall by the Italian Society of the
Science Of Anesthetics. He said
particular circumstances can
impose another line Of conduct,
but the christians duty of re-
nunciation and Of interior purif-
icatian is not an obstacle to
the use Of aneSthetics."
Sales Curbs Urged
Calling on public authorities to
regulate the sale and use Of
Itranquilizing drugs. he said that
a person who uses them improp-
erly cannot complete his
daily work if he remains con-
tinually submerged in a twilight
state" He added:
'It follows then that he cam
not upset or suppress his con-
seriousness only to obtain pleas
ant sensations ). even If he
seeks only a certain euphoria
(sense Of well-being) i. facts
show that the abuse Of stupe-
fiers (narcotics) leads to total
oblivion Of the most basic needs
of personal and family Hfe."
Regarding anesthesia, the Pope
said that "the doctor who ac-
|cepts it's methods enters into
contradiction neither with the
natural moral order nor with the
specifically Christian ideal. He
Is seeking, in accordance with the
ordinance of the Creator, to
bring suffering under mems con-

lem. Mr.. Dulles emphasized in
his February IL memo to Mr.
Eban that only the parties to
the Palestine truce could change
it. and that left out the United
States. The truce gave Egypt
the right to administer GAIA.
Mr.. Ben-Gurion said in a
speech last Thursday that Israel
never will agree to giving GAIA
back TO Egypt. He is known to
be trying to get some sort Of de
facto U. N. control which would
leave Israeli civil administration

a substantial start on rehabili-
tating the. 200, 900 refugees there.
This is the proposal Mr.. Eban
was expected to lay before Mr.
HammarSkjold.

U. N. secretary generals job to
obtain Egypt's consent.
Israeli Foreign Minister Coda
Meir said in a television broad
cast from New York that 1.-THE
threat of sanctions would not
influence ISraeli's decision. She
said imposing economic and
military pressures. as proposed,
would damage the United Ma

predicted sanctions would not be

/ 1t would be difficult under
such conditions to consider the
U. N. impartial or neutral" he
added. But he declined under
Questioning to say that all U. N
bodies would be barred from
acting there.
After Mr.. Dulles meeting with
the eight Senate leaders, Sena-
tor johnson said 1.-THE Ques-
ton Of sanctions was discussed,
and added:
"The administration seems to
be exploring every possible
means to bring about a settle

johnson served as spokesman
for the group. and others de-

Senator Mansfield, Democrat

that he thinks the Eisenhower
administration will vote for sane
lions against Israel "if it is forced
to-" He said the administration
has gone about as far as it can
go" In offering assurances.
But ne told a newsman later
he expects no announcement of
a United States stand until after
several days of debate in the
U. N. Assembly. He said he
thinks that debate may require a
week during which he added
some agreement may be reached
with Israel.
Senator Saltonstall, Repub-

Knesset Group
Soothes Foes

JERUSALEM. Feb. rs CR.-A
committee of the Israeli parlia-
ment tried today to find a way
to soothe mounting opposition
within the governing political
coalition to any compromise on
occupation of the GAIA Strip.
The KneSSet's foreign affairs
committee met to draft a GAIA
policy amid reports that two OF
the five coalition parties in
Prime Minister Ben Gurion's
government might quit the cabi-
net because of suspicion Mr..
Ben-Gurion would bow to United
States and United Nation de-
mands that Israel withdraw
from the disputed coastal strip.
Such action by the left wing
Achdut Avoda unity of labor
and Mapam united workers.
Parties would seriously peril Mr..
Ben-Gurion's government. II
they left the cabinet and all par
ties outside the coalition COM
bined. the government would
have only a two-vote majority in
the l20-seat Knesset.
The Achdut Avoda has 10 seats
in the Knesset and the Mapam
8. They demand close economic
ties with GAIA in the future and
repeatedly feel that this would
be prejudiced by even q. N. par
ticipation in the administration
of the disputed area.
The governments latest pro-
posals to the United States and
the U. N. on GAIA and the Gulf
of Aqaba have not been dis
closed. But reliable sources said
much transformation" has been
circulated regarding Isra e is
terms for withdrawing from the
two areas, seized in last October's
invasion of the Sinai Peninsula.
A basic Israeli condition for
settlement Of the GAIA problem
is believed still to be that Egyp-
tians should not be allowed to
return to the strip. It is believed
Ambassador Abba Eban, who re-
turned to the United States over
the Week end after consultations
here, was authorized to suggest
that U. N. investigating COM
mittee go to GAIA to consider

and elsewhere-began dumping
their pounds at cut rates in ex-
change for dollars.
A pound that is sagging in
value is no good on international
trade. Britain, to retain its bank
ing role, had to prop up the
value.
The government did so by
taking dollars which had been
socked away for a rainy day
and using them to buy pounds
for a high price wherever some
foreigner-of -little-faith offered
them for sale.
At the end Of November the
Treasury revealed the British
government had spent about
$270 million Of It's hard-earned
buying pounds. It said further
more that the government was
boosting its store Of dollars by
a $l.3-billion loan from the In
ternational Monetary Fund and
a $500 million American Export
Import Bank loan. II was pointed
out that the government held
about a billion dollars worth Of
American securities which most
people didn't even know about.
The clear implication was that
Britain would continue to buy
pounds at a high price until
those loans and her regular 50
billion reserve of greenbacks
were all used up. 1t was obvious
to spectators that the pound
would be worth whatever the
British Treasury said for the
foreseeable future.
Speculation Stops
In Der speculation
stopped abruptly. The Treasury.
having shown what 1t was will
ing to do. could stop buying
pounds. The value Of the pound
remains high.
Only 1851 million OF the INF
loan was actually drawn by Brit
ain and almost none Of 1t spent.
The $500 million export-import
loan, arranged for but not yet
signed, may never be drawn.

the az hour conference in a
palace formerly belonging to ex-
King Farouk. Towering King
Saud wore the traditional flow
ing white robe.
Saud. whose oil economy tends
to link him with the West,
agreed to accept United States
military aid and to extend an
agreement permitting the
United States to maintain an air
base at Dhahran while he was in
Washington. He also had good
words to say for the Eisenhower
doctrine for the Middle East.
He faced the task in today's

vincing the others that he has
not fallen into the camp of
"kept Arabs" - Arab countries

militarily to outside powers. The

insist that the four discuss some
kind Of federation to include
Syria, Egypt and Jordan.
Cana Situation Studied
The four heads of state also
were expected to discuss another
major problem--the refusal thus
far Of Israel to withdraw troops
from the Gulf of Aqaba and
GAIA areas. But any firm deci-
sion seemed likely to await de-
velopments at the United
Nations.
Whether to use the. Suez
Canal as political weapon may
be a crucial point in the talks.
Syria was expected to urge Col.
Nasser to keep the canal closed
as a means of pressure on the
big powers to get Israel's with
drawal. Saud, whose oil income
has dropped because of Suez
Canal troubles. may urge Col.
Nasser to keep the canal out Of
politics and rely on the U. N.
and the United States to get
the ISraelis out.

sterling bank was stopped at the
cost of $270 million. The banker
could turn to the second big
|post-Suez problem: How to pay
for the oil being squeezed out OF
the reluctant Texans.
Most Of the oil had to be paid
for with dollars. Britain gets hel
dollars by exporting to dollar
spending countries or by taking
them out Of the sock-the same
sock which must be kept full to
back UP the world value of the
pound.
January was q tense month
here. American oil was flowing
into the country. Could dollars
earned in current exports pay
for it? Would the sock have to
be raided? Could Britain in other
words. afford the post-Suez
crisis?
The figures are now in. Only
$50 million had to be taken out
of the reserve to pay for dollar
oil. And that Britain could
afford.
But better still, it seemed
likely Britain would never have
to spend more than $50 million
for extra dollar oil in any month
the Middle Eastern oil remains
unavailable and exports are ex-
pected to rise. covering even this
deficit.
More Surplus Needed
The current government pre-
diction is that the year ending
July l will show an overall sur
plus in dollar income over outgo.
OF course. industry won't get
all the oil it needs. Imports will
bring in only rs per cent of
normal requirements. There is
hope. but little official con-
fidence. that industry can get
along on this short ration with
out too many shut-downs.
The worriers also point out
that a slight surplus is not
enough for Britain. To pay of
an old American loan. to support
special foreign military COM
mitments and to provide as
sistance to some Common
wealth areas Britain needs to be
in the foreign exchange black
by almost $500 million a year
And an additional surplus is
needed on top Of that to re-
|plenish the sock.
II Suez had not happened the
bulk Of this surplus would in
deed have been earned. The fac,
that 1t now won't be earned
means Britons are in for more
belt-tightening at home and
abroad.
All Is not lost, however. AS
the Chancellor Of the Exchequer
said. "One does not 60 bankrupt
by breaking even"
