Apathy Marks
Senate Debate
On Nideast
BY MARY McGRORY


The faltering debate on the
Presidents Middle Eastern reso.
luton was almost certain tc
come to a full stop in the Senate
today.
Majority Leader johnson has
announced that any Senators
who wished to might speak after
the ritualistic reading of George
Washington's Farewell Address
which will be given this year by
Senator Goldwater, Republican
of Arizona.
So far, no one has volunteered
The third day of debate was
marked by the apathy ano
scanty attendance that has beer
its outstanding characteristic tc
date.
it seems possible now that the
vote on the resolution may come
earlier than next Thursday
which was the tentative date
given at the outset of the dis
cusSion.
Some Changes Proposed
Several amendments were pro-
posed yesterday.
Senator Mansfield, Democrat
of Montana, suggested these
three:
/. To encourage the President
to seek international cotnrol over
the flow of ornaments into the
Middle East from Soviet ano
other sources.
2, To strengthen the United
Nations Emergency Force arounc
the SueZ area.
3. To apply economic aid to
settle the Suez dispute and the
Arab-1sraeli conflict.
Senator Flanders, Republican
Of Vermont introduced an
amendment looking to restora-
ton of the original language of
the resolution. This would "au-
thorize" the President to use
force if necessary.
He said the committees have
added the vaguest kind of Ian
guage which seems to deny our
responsibility but which leaves us
free to criticize"
/ Causes No G. o. p. Rally
| Minority Leader Knowland told
reporters that Republicans are
not being modified behind the
Flanders amendment.
Senator Knowland said he will
not support the Flanders move
and added:
LAS / understand it. the reso-
luton as reported by the Foreign
Relations and Armed Services
Committees is satisfactory to the
administration and l expect to
support it.
Senator Humphrey. Democrat
Of Minnesota. told an empty
Senate chamber in an exhaustive
review of the Middle East stu
alton that the administration
had been taking political tran
quili7ers" in dealing with these
events.
The President picked up some
additional support in his stand
on sanctions. Republican Sena-
tors Case of New Jersey. and
Cooper of Kentucky. indicated
full approval Of his speech
Wednesday night.

not interested in trying to pun
ish Israel or impose penalties.
Its sole concern. they added, is
the removal of Israeli forces
from the disputed regions.
Senator H. Alexander Smith,
Republican of New Jersey, said
today Israel appears to have
left the door open for the con-
tinuation Of negotiations by its
reply to President Eisenhower.
Further United Nations con-
sideration of the Middle East
problem should await the return
of Ambassador Eban," he said.
Continuation of negotiation
should strive to couple the with
drawal Of Israeli troops from
the GAIA Strip and the Strait
Of Aqaba with resolutions
strengthening the United Nations
Emergency Police Force and de-
filming its role and status in the
area"
The Senator stated that the
best chance for a peaceful settle
ment lies in the immediate with
drawal Of the Israeli forces, put
that this should not occur with
out United Nations assumption
OF correlative obligations in the
area.
Zionist Jews Meet Dulles
Meanwhile. the Eisenhower
administration tried a new tacti-
cal maneuver. A half dozen
American Jews who strongly
support Israel met with Secre-
tary Dulles and with Presidential
Assistant Maxwell Rahb at
Dulles Office yesterday.
Mr.. Dulles was reported to
have urged this group to support
United States policy. with the
purpose of getting it to use its
influence on the Israeli govern
ment. The group included Bar
ney Balaban. president of Para
mount Pictures, and Philip
Klutznick OF Chicago, head of the
.B'nai Birth service organization.
Mr.. Balaban said after return
ing to New York. however, that
the group was not asked to exert
pressure on Israel to withdraw
her troops.
mo such request was made
of u.s." he said, but declined to
comment on what did happen.
The Israeli government is de-
pendent to a large extent on the
backing Of American jews who
send about 500 million a year
to Israel in the form of contri-
buttons and bond purchases.

ficially, however, the United
States withheld its reaction
pending a detailed study Of Mr..
Ben-Gurion's declaration to the
Israeli Parliament.
, Mr.. Eisenhower's first business
today was a conference with
Secretary Of State Dulles on the
latest Israel decision. There
was no indication of any state
ment Immediately. however.
Actually Mr.. Eisenhower and
Secretary Dulles are awaiting
"a new message from Mr.. Ben
Gurion in response to Mr.. Eli
senhower's latest personal ap-
peal, also made on Wednesday.
The Ben-Gurion reply ap-
parently is being brought back
here by Israeli Ambassador Abba
Eban. who is expected some time
tomorrow.
Jerusalem reports said Mr.
Eban was carrying new instruc-
tons for talks with United States
Government leaders.
In the circumstances, Mr.. Ell
senhower and Secretary Dulles
were described as reluctant TO
accept the Premier's parliament
taiy statement as the last word
on his position. They thought he
may have sent by Mr.. Eban some
notifications which would in
some manner change the situa-
ton.
Ben-Gurion Afiirms Policy
But Mr.. Ben-Gurion strongly
reafiirmed in his speech the pol
icy that Israeli troops cannot be
withdrawn from Egyptian terri
tory bordering the entrance to
the Gulf of Aqaba or from the
GAIA Strip until Israel's interests
in the gulf and the strip are
guaranteed.
On these fundamental points
what Mr.. Ben-Gurion said
clashed head-on with what Mr.
Eisenhower had said Wednesday
night. The President asserted
that Israel must get its troops
out OF both places without in
Isisting on guarantees.
Mr.. Eisenhower pictured the
issue as one which now involve.
the prestige and effectiveness OF
the United Nations. and he said
that the U. N. has no choice but
to exert pressure on Israel tc

and in knowing what our Gov
eminent is going to do in this
area" Senator O'Mahoney said.
"They show that these COM

Senator O'Mahoney heads an
investigation by two Senate sub
committees of recent oil price
rises and the effort to supply
petroleum products TO Western
Europe.
Some documents subpoenaed
from files of oil firms already
have been disclosed in the hear

others would be made public

The hearings now are in recess
until next Wednesday. Most OF
the oil companies remain TO be

Senator OMahoney said that
the plan ito provide substitute

out, and they have been given

New Theory on Coneer
Exploined BY Doctor

Cancers may be made to kill
themselves.
This possibility was reported
at the closing sessions Of the
association yesterday by DR..
s. Meryl Rose Of the Univer-
sity Of Illinois.
Research with extremely
primitive organisms. he said.
has shown that they have great
numbers Of undifferentiated
cells which are capable Of
forming any organ Of the body.
But they never duplicate an
organ already in existence
for example. there never are
two hearts or two brains. The
apparent reason for this. he
said. is that an organ once
formed secretes something
which inhibits undifferenti-
ated cells from duplicating It.
Thus it has been possible by
culturing eggs in water con-
tanning bits Of heart or brain
Of tadpoles to produce heart
less and brainless tadpoles.
Apparently this is one Of ma
ture's major safeguards against
unrestrained growth.

Leading educators Of the United
