Javits (R.-N.Y.) charged in the House Tuesday that the State Department is waging an "elaborate campaign" to lull the American people into thinking there is no danger of renewed hostili- ties in the Near East. He cited the assurances given by Federal Security Administrator Oscar R. Ewing Monday night in an add- • ress before the Histadrut Third Seder in New York City. Ewing spoke as an administration spokesman, saying that he represented not only himself but also President Truman. Javits said; "An elaborate campaign is being waged by the State Department to reassure the American people that broad scale shipments of heavy arms like jet fighter aircraft, tanks and gun boats, by Great Britain 'to • Near Eastern Arab states, notably Egypt, Jordan, and Iraq, is not an incitement to a renewal of the Arab-Israel war." Addressing the meeting Monday night, Ewing said: "In Israel there is real concern about reports of a sizeable shipment of arms to some of the Arab countries. Every nation has a right to its military establishment for the purpose of self-defense and security against attack. If that is the purpose of these arms imports, there can be no valid reason for any one to object. On the other hand, it would obviously be a serious matter to all free. peoples if it were to become clear that these arms shipments were intended not for defense but for attack. "It is hard to belieVe that any of the nations of the Middle East could seriously consider any further military adventures in this tense period in international relations. I know from my personal observation, that the government of Israel is intent only on peaceful development within its own frontiers. I am sure that Israel's neighbors 'have the same intentions and that they will not be misled into taking any kind of action which they and we would regret." Peace Plea: The proposal of United Nations Secretary General Trygve Lie for a special meeting of the Security Council as the first step in a 20-year peace plan, "merits the most serious consideration" by the world powers, General CARLOS P.
