Gov. Williams
a Signs Lifting of Arms Embargo Stirs
Absentee Ballot Act COniroversy in Middle East

TEL AVIV—(Special)—The decision o f the United States, Britain and France to lift
the arms embargo to Israel was greeted here as a step toward peace.
The three powers took the measure o n condition that the arms supplied would be
used for internal defense only, not for aggres sive purposes. The three-power statement de-
Glared that "assurances have been received fr om all the states in question ... not to under-
take any act of aggression against any other s tate."

"Defense of the Middle East"
is clearly meant as defense
against Soviet aggression. It was
pointed out by Israeli spokesmen
that Israel wants peace with
everyone and is not joining any
"# bloc at this time.

The spokesman also said that
the ''joint three-power declar a-
tion signifies the end of the dis-
crimination hitherto practiced in
the supply of war materials to
countries of the Middle East."

wire service story out of Beirut
which reported that the Israel
army drove out 12,000 Arabs
from the vicinity of Hebron on
May 4 has been rejected by an

Many Arab politicians feel that

As a rule, the Arabs feel that
the decision on arms deliveries

Arab Refugees
Attack UN
Relief Officer

BEIRUT, LEBANON — (Spe-
cail)—An area officer of the UN
Works and Relief Agency for
Palestine was attacked by Arab
refugees in the Palestine part of
Jordan, it was reported here.
The Arabs stoned his automo-
bile and beat the driver.
The agency has officially in-
formed Jordan that if such con-
ditions continue it could no longer
operate in that part of the king-
dom.
The disorders have ' been
ascribed to the reduction by one-
half of the Palestine refugee per-
sonnel employed in the relief dis-
tribution work by the Interna-
tional Red Cross.
A delay in the distribution of
rations because of Syrian inter-
ference with the transit of food-
stuffs to Jordan in UN trucks also
added to the refugees' irritation.
Syrian interference resulted in
a tie-up that caused a delay in
the distribution of this month's
ration.
