Fan Saud Sees
Naval Academy
Game Today
BY MARY McGRORY

King Saud Of Saudi Arabia,
who has no navy of his own, will
see something of ours on a tour
of the Naval Academy today.
His Majesty will receive full
military honors at Annapolis.
In the afternoon, the King will
watch a basketball game be-
tween Navy and Duke. He is a
fan, who on an afternoon en-
joys watching a match among
his sons.
His favorite son, Prince NASH
hur ibn Saud, will remain in the
presidential suite Of Walter Reed
Hospital. where he is under
going diagnosis for an illness
suffered since birth which par
TALLY paralyzed his right arm
and right leg. The trouble has
been tentatively diagnosed as
cerebral palsy.
The King began yesterdays
Moslem Sabbath activities with a
call on Prince Mashhur, who
seemed glad to see his father but
refused to smile for photogra-
pliers. The King then joined
members of the 1slamic Center
congregation in worship at the
Mosque. On issuing forth, the
King gave orders to the Saudi
Arabian Ambassador. Abdullah
Al-Khayyal. that a fence should
be built around the mosque and
the bill sent to him. The exact
type of fence and the question of
whether 1t will pass coming regu-
Ilations remained up in the air
today.
The King had lunch with De-
Tense Secretary Charles E. Will
son at the Pentagon. and in the
afternoon had 55-minute con-
ference with President Eisen-
hover. Secretary Of State Dulles
and other high administration
officials. He entertained the
President at dinner last night.
Before the dinner, the King
suddenly Cancelled arrangements
to spend next week at a White
Sulphur Springs wv. Va resort
hotel. No explanation was given.
The State Department said
that as far as is known King
Saud intends to stay at Blair
House most Of next week. He
may see the President again
Thursday or Friday. A visit with
Iraq's Crown Prince, Abdul Illah,
may also be arranged sometime
next week.

on the authority Mr.. Eisenhower
asks to use up to 5000 million
in available foreign aid funds 10
bolster Middle East defenses and
economies. Secretary of State
Dulles was reported to have &C.
cepted two limiting amendments
during his sixth appearance be-
fore the committees yesterday.
We've been trying to get the
administration to establish def
mite policies in the Middle East
for more than 10 months" Sena-
tor Sparkman told a newsman.
Some Democratic critics want
the resolution amended to
pledge the United States to a
more active role in seeking a
settlement OF the Arab-Israel
and Suez Canal disputes, and
United Nations control over
arms shipments to the Middle
East.
Received Assurances
Time after time, in closed
sessions of the Foreign Relations
Committee" Senator Sparkman
said. I'VE have been hammering
away at the need for settling
the problems of that area. Dur
ing all this time we were being
assured everything was sweet
and pretty"
Senator Wiley said he did not
challenge either the fright or
duty" of congressional critics to
question the Eisenhower proposal
most carefully"
But. he said. they must not
seek political gain for them
selves or for party"
Senator Sparkman commented
that there are some people who
can't distinguish between getting
the facts and plain criticism.

less confident of Israeli compli-
ance than Mr.. Lodge is. Admit
ting that in its present form
the resolution is likely to pass
the Assembly by a comfortable
margin, there is no little con-
Germ about what the end result
may be.
The Arab stateS-who are ex-
pected to abstain on the vote
are making no bones about their
own views on the question. Their
Interpretation of the resolution
is in no way similar to that
of Mr.. Lodge. Their opposition
to any use Of U. N. forces to
secure the peace in GAIA and
Sharm FL Sheikh has been
vehemently repeated in the
course of the debate. And. by
the Interpretation Of U. N. Sec
rotary General Hammarskjold,
Egypt's agreement would be
necessary for any deployment
of U. N troops on Egyptian soil.
The Arabs, in fact. would not
be dismayed in the least by re-
fusal of Israel to accept these
u. N. assurances for its security.

prove" President Eisenhower's
Middle East resolution before it
passes the Senate. The House
already has approved the ad-
ministration's program pretty
much as it was proposed.
Senator Sparkman took issue
with Senator Wiley of Wiscon-
sin. senior Republican member
Of the foreign relations group.
Senator Wiley told the. Senate
yesterday that critics OF Mr..
Eisenhower's request for special
military-economic powers to
block Communist expansion into
the Middle East have the
burden of proving him wrong"

mittees took a recess until Mon
day IN their consideration Of Mr.
Eisenhower's request for advance
authority to use United States
military forces to combat open
Red aggression in the Middle
East.
There is little opposition to
this phase Of the resolution.
But the Senate committees
are trying to tighten restrictions
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-02-02

the thing in exactly the same
way.
The resolution is one of two,
sponsored by the United States
and six other countries. The
first raises no interpretive
problems. 1t amounts to another
strong demand for Israel to
withdraw her troops from
Egyptian soil. including the
GAIA Strip and Sharm Ell
Sheikh. at the southern end Of
the Sinai Peninsula.
The second resolution is the
critical one. 1t is supposed to
lay down the steps to be taken
after the withdrawal to assure
the continuing peace of the area.
Apart from this objective. there
is also an obvious connection be-
tween the two resolutions: The
second is supposed to supply
Israel with enough reinsurance
as to secure compliance with
the withdrawal order.
Accord on Assurances
In the preliminary debate, the
Western Observation-Disclosures
the United States-were in
agreement as to what these as
suranceS should be. Upon the
withdrawal of Israeli troops,
United Nations forces should
tnove into the GAIA Strip
and Sharm Ell Sheikh. Their
presence would ease border
tensions in the most critical
area and put an end to Egypt's
blockade of Israeli shipping in
the Gulf of Aqaba.
No such provision is spelled
out in the resolution. however.
The final version merely recog-
Mics that Israel's withdrawal
must be followed by action"
leading to peaceful conditions
and calls on both nations "scru-
pulously to observe the condi-
tons Of the l949 armistice agree
ment." 1t continues:
g. After the full withdrawal
of Israel from the Sharm Ell
Sheikh and GAIA areas, the
scrupulous maintenance Of the
armistice agreement requires the
placing of the United Nations
Emergency Force on the Egyp-
tihn-Israeli armistice demarca-
ton line and the implementa-
ton of other measures as pro-
posed in the secretary generals
report. with due regard to the
considerations set out therein
with a view to assist in achiev-
ing situations conducive to the
maintenance of peaceful condi-
tons in the area"
This, in the priyately-ex-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-02-02

pressed opinion of many dele
gates and observers here,
amounts to something of a
classic piece of diplomatic dou-
ble-talk. The dispute over
exactly what it means has al
ready caused a serious rift in
the Western camp. Canada
Foreign Minister Pearson who
originally proposed the idea OF
a double arrelled set of resolu-
lions. has declined to sponsor
this watered-down version. The
reason given is that Canada
wants to be free to propose
amendments in the course of
the debate. if this should seem
feasible.
The United States delegation,
on the other hand. is interpret
ing the resolution very broadly.
In the American view, it not only
assures Israel's withdrawal. but
also provides adequate butresSing
Of the armistice agreement. 1t
also - again in the American
view-makes it clear that the
U, N. force will have q role to
play in Sharm Ell Sheikh and the
GAIA area. And it is even
argued that the resolution could
play a constructive part in OBJ
tanning a settlement Of the Suez
Canal issue.
What this means. presumably,
is that Ambassador John Cabot
Lodge. jr., believes that the reso-
luton provides the basis for such
results and that he will press for
them in the future. Other dele
cations are somewhat less opti-
Split In Western View
The split in the Western posi-
ton stems from difference in
the problem. From
the beginning. the United States
held that it was necessary to
obtain as wide backing as pos
sible among the neutralist ma
tons. The co-sponsorship of
India to the resolution-consid-
cred as something of a diplo-
matte triumph by Americans
here-was bought at the price
Of watering down the language
to its present form. Other CO.
sponsors include members OF the
u N. military advisory commit
tee: Brazil, Columbia, Indonesia,
Norway and Yugoslavia.
Mr.. Pearson's view was that,
above all else. the resolution
should have the result of assur-
ing Israel's withdrawal from
Egypt. Along with other West
ern delegates, he is apparently
