WASHINGTON. — Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, testifying
Monday before the House Foreign Affairs Committee on President Eisenhow-
er's proposals for the Middle East indicated that military aid for Israel was
ruled out in the Eisenhower plan.

Israel Under Mounting Pressure to Yield
Gaza; Embassy Calls Report of Cancelled U.S.
Support `Fanciful'; UN Warned on Fedayeen

Israel has been pressing the United States to back some kind of international guarantees which
would (1) assure unimpeded passagefor Israeli shipping through the Suez Canal; (2) keep the Strait
of Aqaba ()Pen for Israeli shipping to Elath, Israel's Red Sea port; (3) ban re-establishment of bases
by Egypt in Sinai for fedayeen raiders; and (4) forbid the Egyptian army to reoccupy the Gaza strip.
Israel officials also indicated to the U.S. State Department, according to the report, that they
wanted the United States to shield Israel from United Nations pressure if the Israel army refused to
withdraw from the Gaza strip and controlling positions on the Gulf of Aqaba.
The American rejection of Israel's pleas for some sort of international security guarantees was
made, according to the report, at a meeting between Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and Mrs.
Golda Meir, Israeli Foreign Minister, and at conferences between U.S. Embassy and Israeli Foreign
officials in Tel Aviv this week.
(A spokesman for the Israel Embassy in Washington called the Times story "a fanciful report of
. the conversation betWeen the Israel Foreign Minister and Secretary of State that was understood to
have been confidential." The spokesman added that the Times story "does not cover the subjects
discussed at the conversation in the course of which many problems were debated and the Mutual
desire of the two governments for friendship and cooperation was reaffirmed.")
There were conflicting reports as to whether the United States was adding economic to diplo-
matic pressures by freezing technical aid and economic funds and by suspending a surplus food
agreement.
One source said the reports were false, noting that the International Cooperation Administra-
tion is .planning to send back to posts in Israel, as well as in Egypt and Jordan, 185 foreign aid spe-
cialists who were evacuated after the start of the Sinai campaign.
In Jerusalem, headquarters of the UN Technical Assistance Administration announced that
permission had been granted for the return of families of UNTAA personnel who had been evacu-
ated with the ICA specialists.
However, JTA correspondents reported, the Export-Import Bank has not made any plans to
revise its Mission to Israel, which had been scheduled to depart for a study of a $75 million Israeli
loan request when the Egyptian military action started.
. Prior to President Eisenhower's report to Congress on his Middle East program. State Depart-
ment sources said that the economic phases of the plan were still fluid. Israel, it was said, was not
excluded and could apply for economic benefits if the Jewish State meets the developing prerequisites.
Some idea of the nature of the prerequisites was indicated in statements from the same source
that the State Department does not consider Israel passage either through the Gulf of Aqaba or the
Suez Canal to be issues of "primary concern" at ."this .time." It was emphasized that the primary
concern of the State Department was Israeli troop withdrawal behind 1949 armistice lines.
A JTA report from Washington quoted State Department sources as saying that the United
States could not accept any Israeli conditions for withdrawal on grounds that such acceptance
would weaken the U.S. position as the main force behind the Nov. 2 resolution. Asked about Egyp-
tian compliance with the same resolution, which Egypt has violated with openly-sponsored renewal
of fedayeen raids, State Department sources avoided comment.
Unofficial assurances; however, were given by these sources that if Israel complies with the
resolution in accordance with what was described as.a promissory note from Israel Premier David
Ben-Gurion to UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold, the United States would act to assure
that such problems as the fedayeen raids and Suez and Aqaba passage would be examined "in the
framework of the United Nations."
UN assurances were made to President Nasser of Egypt, the New York Times reported from
Cairo, that the international organization will use "utmost pressure" on Israel to speed its with-
drawal. A top UN official was reported to have told Col. Nasser that Mr. Hammarskjold was
"extremely eager to hasten the Israeli withdrawal from the Sinai Peninsula, the Gaza strip and
the' Gulf of Aqaba." -
From Jerusalem came reports that Israeli troops Were being steadily withdrawn from the Sinai
peninsula in a series of stages. The current stage is on a line which leaves Israel in control of Shaun

Turks Charge Egypt
With Having Caused
Recent Military Acts

ISTANBUL, (JTA)—Turkey became the first Mos-
lem state to charge that Egyptian provocation caused
the recent military actions against Egypt by Britain,
France and Israel.
The charge was made by Ethem Menderes, acting
Turkish Foreign Minister during a Parliamentary de-
bate in which the first public explanation was given.
for the recent recall of the Turkish Minister from
Israel.
(Maurice Fisher, the Israeli Minister in Turkey.
returned to Jerusalein on completion of his period of
service. Because of Turkey's decision to recall its
Minister from Tel Aviv, no replacement is planned for
Mr. Fisher.)
Premier Adnan Menderes joined with the acting
Foreign Minister in disclosing that both the military
action and relentless Arab propaganda emanating from
Egypt had forced Turkey to give up hope of mediating
the Israel-Arab dispute.
The Acting Foreign Minister said that Arab pres-
sures and a desire to save Iraq, a fellow-member with
Turkey in the Baghdad Pact, from the dangers of
"ridiculous and deplorable" Arab propaganda were
responsible for the recall. .
•During the debate, the two Turkish leaders de-
scribed the Israeli action against Egypt as aggression
and that of Britain and France as armed aggression.
The acting Foreign Minister asserted that "these ac-
tions were caused by Egypt's provocations, defiance
and arbitrary moves.
"We were hoping that by maintaining extensive
political contacts with both Israel and the Arab states,
we would have possibilities of doing constructive
work for the settlement of the Palestine problem," he
added. "Events have killed this chance."
