Syria and Egypt, for instance,

The backbone of the Israeli air

On land. where technological
changes have not come so fast.
Israel is not SO bad of. Mr.. Peres
said. although newer tanks. for
instance, will be needed to re-
place current World War II
American Shermans. The navy
is a different problem: Ships are
tremendously expensive, their
operation is vast technical
problem and naval defense is
more Of a Mediterranean Red
Sea area problem than strictly
Israeli responsibility.
Therefore. Mr.. Peres indicated.
it will be up to other MideaSt
maritime powers to counter
Egypt's made-in- Russia under
sea navy.
Expects Arms From France
Where will Israels modern
arms come from?
only four nations produce
these weapons. The United
States. Britain, France and Rus

Will Israel go to Uncle Sam?
Mr.. Peres pointed out that
prior to the Sinai campaign, the
United States had declined to sell
arms to Israel. Perhaps America
will change her policy-it is Civ

But 1 wouldn't be too opti-
mistic."
He said no formal approach
has been made to the United
States for a change in its arms
sale policy, but he is hopeful
that at least the ban on spare
parts imposed at the time of
Sinai will be lifted here. Mr.
Peres apparently believes France
may be the best source for arms.
We're on quite good terms with
France" he said with a smile.
Did captured Egyptian equip
ment help Israel?
I'VE gained less than Egypt
lost. Mr.. Peres said. Egypt
suffered through loss of equip
ment, but we did not pick up too
much that can be used by us.
For instance, We captured am
munition for Stain tanks, put
no Stain tanks. That deprives
Egypt of ammunition but doesn't
give us anything disable.

Drone Knocked Out
OF Sky by Terrier
BY GARNETT d. HORNER

EN- ROUTE WITH PRESI.
DENT EISENHOWER. Mar. l8
President Eisenhower watched
IA Terrier" guided missile free
from the cruiser Canbelra knock
an unnamed World War II
Hellcat fighter plane out of the
sky into tropical Bahama waters
today
Two of the 27-foot-long Ter
riers left the cruisers battery
with tremendous roars two and
a half seconds apart. leaving
brilliant trails Of orange flame
behind.
Mr. Eisenhower watched the
firing from the after missile con-
troll station, some rs feet forward
and slightly above the missile
launchers.
Then he hurriedly picked up
a pair Of binoculars and fol-
lowed the missiles as they hur-
tied through the sky in a south
erly direction toward the drone
plane. flying toward the Cam
berra some ~ miles away at
10,000-foot altitude.
First Missile Is Premature
With a big flash, followed by
"a cloud of white smoke, the first
missile exploded prematurely too
far away from the drone plane
to do any damage.
But the second Terrier closed
to within SO feet of the target
swell within lethal range-and
exploded to send the drone
plunging into the sea.
The President and other OBJ
servers saw a big splash as the
wrecked plane plunged nose first
into the water.
Correspondents Watch
Mr.. Eisenhower wore Stacks. a
sport short and red golf cap as
he stood watching the test firing
After be went back to his quar-
tiers. he telephoned Capt. Charles

Prime Minister Mollet during
his recent visit here.
Narrow Escape from Disaster
But it is my judgment that
the meeting at Bermuda should
BE- followed by consultations
with our friends and allies
everywhere. We should do this
for two reasons;
First. we need to restore the
machinery of continuous. close
consultation so that we do not
risk again the dangers of divi-
sion among US.
Second, we need constantly
to review and reappraise our
methods and measures for deal
ing with international COM
muniSm.
/ hate to think how narrow
was our escape from disaster in
the Middle East when we be-
came separated from our allies.
However. we have gained a little
time there. and United Nations
emergency forces are on patrol.
The Russians have been duly
warned. But. as yet. we have
solved nothing fundamental, and
the threat of war still remains
Until the causes that led to
the recent crisis are promptly
and wisely dealt with. there will
be no peace in the Near East or
elsewhere around the world.
Skilled Troublemakers
The Russian communists are
skilled troublemakers and are
ceaselessly engaged in fomenting
and exploiting fear and trouble
everywhere.

cially vigilant in Germany. The
ruthless crushing of Hungary's
bid for freedom shows that Rus

will embark on military inter-

its obligations to the United Ma
tons and world opinion.
This points up the danger that
exists to the West in similar
moves the Kremlin can make
at any time it suits its purpose
in East Germany.
If the Russians should launch
a military operation in East
Germany, similar to the one in
Hungary. then the security Of

IsraeIs Minister Sees
Dulles on GAIA Issue
Mrs. Meir
Wants U. S.
Showdown


is comforting with an anxious
lady Foreign Minister from
Israel today in the hope of re-
straining her government from
forcibly returning to the GAIA
Strip.
Mrs. Coda Meir of Israel flew
into Washington from Jerusalem
yesterday at about the same
time that Secretary Dulles ar
rived from Canberra, where he
had attended the annual meet
ing of the Southeast Asia Treaty
Organization foreign ministers.
Mrs. Meir, accompanied by
Ambassador Abba Eban and two
aides, was ushered into Mr..
Dulles Office at 10 am.
Mrs. Meir wants to hear how
the United States plans to deal
with Egypt now that President
Canal Abdel Nasser has precipi-
lately restored his civil adminis-
traitor to power in the GAIA
Strip, against United States
and United Nations advice.
Her advance men have warned
that she will not be satisfied to
hear what American policies are.
She knows what they are and
acknowledges they are SatiSfac-
tory to Israel.
Wants Plan of Action
Now she wants to know what
the United States plan OF action
will be. since the mere indica-
Ition of policy has not been
enough to keep Egypt out of
GAIA, as Israel assumed.
In a brief stopover in New
York yesterday Mrs. Meir told
reporters Israel would wait a
day or two" before she takes her
next step.
Premier David Ben Gurion has
said he reserves to Israel it's
i freedom Of action" and he does
not plan to give advance notice
OF his intentions.
The most drastic action he
could take would be to order
Israeli troops back into GAIA.
This might involve overrunning
the United Nations Emergency
Force, now being stationed along
the GAIA Israel border.
Keeps Her Bargaining Power
Mrs. Meir refused to rule out
this possibility as she arrived
yesterday reporters asked if
Israel would fight again if Egypt
assumed too much authority in
GAIA.
4 can't say at this time," she
replied.
Posed with this threat. Mr..
Dulles does not come to his
meeting with Mrs Meir empty
handed.
FIRST, ne can warn the Israeli
OF the grave consequences that
would follow any attack on
UNEF.
Second, he can remind Israel
that her prospects for obtaining
resumption of United States
economic aid will not be en-
HANGED by any rash reaction to
Egypt's return. This country
suspended its S20-million-a-year
development assistance program
when Israel attacked Egypt last
October 80.

posted in the Washington area
yesterday. a 4;06 for a new At
Ilantic Coast Conference record,

old rival from North Carolina, by
three or four yards in Byrd Sta
dium.

edge over Grim, was timed in
