WASHINGTON, (JTA) — Dr. Ahmed Hussein, new Egyptian Ambassador to Washington, said at a press con- ference that following a settlement with the British on the Suez Canal question, Egypt will "hear any fair proposals" to meet with Israel "without any party dictating conditions" and with the parties respecting United Nations decisions. The Ambassador indicated that "it would be difficult" for Israel and Egypt to join the same defense pact. How- ever, he said that there was nothing to pr event the strengthening of an all-Arab pact to prevent the West from having a separate agreement with Israel. He declared that "Egypt has no ambitions of aggression. but only wish- es sovereignty of its own territory." After British troop evacuation of the Suez Canal zone it would be possible to begin thinking about stability and harmony with regard to Israel, he stated. Asked about the Egyptian blockade of the Suez Canal against Israel-bound shipping and about the complaint against this practice by Sen. Alexander Wiley, chairman. of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Dr. Hussein. said that he hoped to see Sen. Wiley to explain the Egyp- tian point of view. He declared that Egypt was acting in accordance with international- law in stopping only war material. A resolution demanding an inquiry into the status of Palestinian Arab refugees, introduced in the Senate Judi- ciary Committee by chairman William Langer, has been referred by the rules committee to a standing subcommit- tee on Near Eastern Affairs of the Foreign Relations Committee. The subcommittee will decide if such additional in- vestigation of the refugee problem is needed. Subcommittee members include Senators Langer, Robert A. Taft, William F. Knowland, Guy Gillette, and J. W. Fulbright.
