?. Gives the President a free
hand to spend 5000 million of
existing foreign aid funds for
military or economic aid to the
Middle East between now and
July. without adhering to re-
strictions in the foreign aid law.
Senator Douglas. Democrat of
Illinois. has an amendment
to require countries accepting
American military aid to agree
not to use it for aggression. and
to arbitrate disputes with their
neighbors.
Senators Balk at Wording
The House approved the
original resolution, which "au-
thorized" the President to use
the armed forces in the Middle
East. if necessary.
Senate Democrats baked at
authorizing" the President to
do something. which, they
argued, he already has the con-
stitutional power to do. They
substituted a declaration that
the United States lis prepared"
to use its armed forces to pro-
tect the Middle East from
Communist invasion.
Since the President indicated
this language is acceptable to
him, it is not likely the House
will delay final passage by try
ing to return to its version.
One verbal clash marked yes
terday's debate. when Senator
Mccarthy, Republican of Wis
consin, entered the chamber and
found only few Senators listen
ing TO speech by Senator Ma
lone. Republican Of Nevada.
ITS a disgrace to the Senate
that only five Senators are

AS a result of the Egyptian
action, the United States now
has hopes that the current Suez
deadlock is breaking.
A representative of United
Nations Secretary General Dag
Hammarskjold is now in Cairo
negotiating with egyptian au-
thoritles the interim formula for
reopening the canal.
Mr.. HammarSkjold is under
stood to favor a plan providing
for payment of tolls to q World
Bank agency. which would hold
a portion of them and turn the
rest over to Egypt.
No Egyptian Response
Mr.. Dulles told newsmen to-
day there had been no Egyptian
response to this plan. He said
there ought now to be an under
standing on how tolls should be
paid according to the six prin-
ciples agreed upon by Egypt.
France and Britain and approved
at the United Nations Security
Council last October.
One cardinal principle then
approved provided that the canal
should be insulated from world
politics.
Mr.. Dulles charge that by
reading between the lines one
could detect foot dragging on
Egypt's part in clearing the
canal may indicate some future
move to charge President Mas
ser with violating this principle.
The Secretary said this Gov
eminent has no reason to be-

ton against British or French
shipping in the canal.

tary Dulles said the United
