Symington Criticizes
u. S. Middle East Policy

NEW YORK, May 4 R.-
Senator Symington. Democrat OF
Missouri, says the Eisenhower
administration should start es-
tablishing foreign policies (which
create events instead of continu-
ing to let events create our
policies.
The Senator specifically criti-
cized recent administration policy
in the Middle East. He spoke
last night at dinner of the
Brand Names Foundation, Inc,
an organization devoted to the
sale Of nationally advertised
products.
''Is it not paradoxical," asked
Senator Symington, that. as
today Congress is faced with an
unprecedented hue and cry to
cut the budget, is it clear the
NATO shield may well turn into
q paper shield, unless the United
States contributes even more Of
its wealth to the protection Of
those nations who were so
severely damaged by the posi-
ton this Government took in the
Middle East?"
Senator Symington said the
Nations allies had questioned
the shift Of the United States
Sixth Fleet to the Eastern Med
iterranean in the Jordan crisis
without first consulting the
United Nations.
In the Senate. q member Of
the Armed Services Committee,
said Of Secretary Of State Dulles:
1T is ironical that the man
speaking for the United States
tonight in Boon, Germany-the
frontier Of NATO-is that Amer
lean in whom these nations. our
allies, have the least confidence.
Perhaps when Mr.. Dulles en-
phasizes the Importance of first
taking things up with the United
Nations, he will also explain a
statement this week by one Of
our highest officials that our
troops were all ready to enter
Jordan. completely ready and
that our airlift was ready, watt
ing for that purpose.
He did not identify the official.

Mccarthy Loshed Beck

Senator Mccarthy, whose po-

fiict, had his last brief moment
in the spotlight in a verbal battle

doughty Teamster Union boss
Dave Beck.
Clearly. the ailing Senator was

Beck said II might.
Later. the Wisconsin Senator
in high dudgeon blasted Beck
again In his familiar sonorous,
nasal tones. After the unionist
had pleaded his constitutional

Priest Tells
Church View
|On Aid Abroud

Catholic attitudes toward for

by the Right Rev. Edward E.
Swanstrom before the Catholic
Laymen's First Friday Club.
Msgr. Swanstrom, executive
director of the Catholic Re-
lief Services of the National
Catholic Welfare Conference.
addressed the group Of $50 ct
the National Press Club. :
1T has been one of our prin-
cipal aims to enlarge the con-
Icept Of charity into something
far more than simply giving" he
said. 1--WE have tried to show
that there is q very real and
deep charity in sharing our Ma
ton with those who are nation
less. We have also helped to
show the people Of the United
States that we have a great
moral responsibility to share our
American abundance with those
overseas who suffer endemic
hunger or who have been up-
rooted. :"
Msgr. Swanstrom chided these
who criticize foreign aid as
being q rat hole"
II have to smile sometimes
when / hear Americans say that
our tax dollars are going down
the drain in our foreign aid pro-
gram. What we are really doing
is trying to save the world for
its people. and this includes our.
selves.
1T seems to me-" the priest
went on. "that the role Of charity
In all its limitlesSness and uni.
versatility is crucial in a time when
men are suffering in their bodies
and suffering also in their spirits.
They are whitening away for fear
of the future"

duced by the Most Rev. Patrick

tor Of CRS. organized in 1913,

There the United States took
note Of Israeli views with refer.
ence to the GAIA Strip and the
Straits Of Aqaba and made clear
what the United States would
do. after Israel's withdrawal. to
help solve the problems that
preoccupy Israel. Our declara-
ton related to our intentions
both as a member Of the United
Nations and as q maritime power
having rights of our own.
The United States believes
that the action of the United
Nations Of February Q and the
statements of various govern
ments, including the United
States memorandum of Febru-
airy IL. provide Israel with the
maximum assurance that 1t can
reasonably expect at this juno
ture. or that can be reconciled
with fairness to others.
Plea Is Renewed
Accordingly, the United States
has renewed its plea to Israel
to withdraw in accordance with
the repeated demands Of the
United Nations and to rely upon
the resoluteness Of all friends
OF justice to bring about a state
of affairs which will conform to
the principles of justice and Of
international law and serve i'm
partially the proper interests of
all in the area. This, we believe.
should provide a greater source
OF security for Israel than an oc-
cupation continued contrary to
the overwhelming judgment Of
the world community.
The United States, for its part.
will strive to remain true to. and
support. the United Nations in
its efforts to sustain the purposes
and principles Of the charter, as
the worlds best hope Of peace.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-02-18

The Department Of State is to-
day making public a memoran-
dun which the United States
gave TO the government of Israel
on February IL. It relates to
Israeli withdrawal to within the
armistice lines as repeatedly
called for by the United Nations.
The memorandum outlines the
policies which the United States
would thereafter pursue in rela-
ton TO the two matters-the Gull
Of Aqaba and the GAIA Strip
which so far lead Israel not to
withdraw.
Israel would prefer to have the
future status Of the Gulf Of
Aqaba and the GAIA Strip def
initely settled to its satisfaction
prior TO its withdrawal. and as
q condition thereto. But all
members Of the United Nations
are solemnly bound by the char
ter to settle their international
disputes by peaceful means, and
In their international relations
TO refrain from the threat or use
|of force against the territorial
integrity Of any state. These un-
|dertakings seem to preclude us
ing the forcihle seizure and oc-
cupation Of other lands as bar
gaining power In the settlement
or international disputes.
The United Kingdom and
France, which occupied portions
|of Egypt at about the time Of
Israel's attack upon Egypt Of last
October. withdraw promptly and
Internationally in response to
the same United Nations resolu-
Ition that called for Israeli with
|drawal. They deferred to the
overwhelming judgment Of the
world community that a solution
of their difficulties with Egypt
|shoeld be sought after with
|drawal. and not be made a con-
|dition precedent to withdrawal.
The United States believes that
Israel should do likewise.

Israel Of November 8, 1856, urged,
as q matter Of highest priority
that Israel forces be withdrawn
to the general armistice line"
After which," the President
said. new and energetic steps
should be undertaken within the
framework Of the United Ma
tons to solve the basic problems
which have given rise to the
present difficulty"
Prime Minister Ben Gurion In
his reply said: "In view Of the
United Nations resolutions re-
Igarding the withdrawal of for
Ieign troops from Egypt and the
creation Of an international
force, we will. upon conclusion
|of satisfactory arrang Q mentS
with the United Nations in con-
nection with this international
force entering the Suez Canal
area, willingly withdraw our
forces"
The international force re-
ferred to by the Prime Minister
has been created and, pursuant
to arrangements which the
United Nations has deemed sat-
isfactory, has entered into and
Is now within the Suez Canal
area. But while there has been
q partial withdrawal Of Israeli
forces from Egypt. Israel persists
in its occupation of Egyptian
territory around the entrance Of
the Gulf Of AQaba and Of the
GAIA Strip.
Legitimate Grievances
The United States is aware Of
the fact that Israel has legiti-
mate grievances and should, in
all fairness, see a prospect Of
remedying them. The United
Nations General Assembly by its
second resolution of February 2,
indorsing the Secretary Generals
report. gave such a prospect. We
believe that that prospect is fur
ther assured by the views which
the United States has formulated
and communicated to Israel in
Its memorandum Of February IL.
