UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.,
(JTA) — The Eisenhower Ad-
ministration appeared last week
to be working on the under-
standing that Israel would not
force any immediate test of
transit rights in the Suez Canal.
The basis of the American
position emerged in develop-
ments at the Security Council
session convened at the request
of the United States to consider
an Egyptian declaration on op-
eration of the Canal.
Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., chief
of the U.S. delegation, made
two key points as the firSt
.speaker.
The first point was that while
the Egyptian declaration "does
not fully meet the six require-
ments of the Security Council,"
the Eisenhower Administration
would go along with it in the
hope that during a "trial per-
iod," Egypt could demonstrate
that "in practice,' the Nasser
regime would operate the .canal
in a satisfactory way.
The' second point was a re-
affirmation of the Eisenhower
Administration "assumption"
that Egypt would not bar
Israeli shipping in the Canal.
The Lodge phraseology was
that the United States "as-
sumes" that "there will in
fact tie, as there should be,
free and non-discriminatory
use of the Canal at all times
by the ships of all nations."
Israel was informed in ad-
vance that Lodge would make
that statement.
Israeli sources responded, in
a statement issued during the
debate, that acting on this Am-
erican assumption, Israel would
.>
"in due course and time" test
the assumption.
The Israeli statement also
took note of the United States
"advocacy" of a "trial period"
for Egyptian operation of the
canal on Egyptian terms and
agreed the trial period was
"necessary."
The Israelis deScribecl the
need as arising from "the well--
founded apprehensions expres-
sed by the French delegation
that Egypt will give its own
illegal and discriminatory in-
terpretation to the 1888 con-
vention."
The Israeli statement also
dealt with a suggestion made
by UN Secretary-General Dag
. Hammarskjold that Israel's Su-
ez Transit rights would ulti-
mately rest on a ruling by the
International Court of Justice
Olo
at the-.Hague.
Hamniarskjold offered the
suggestion at a press conference
held the' day before the Secur-
ity Council meeting and on the
eve of an overseas trip which
he indicated might include a
stop in Israel.
He said he considered "bind-
ing" the Sept. 1, 1951 Security
C o u n c i l resolution ordering
Egypt to open the &fez Canal
to Israeli shipping. He also said
that Egyptian claims of "rights
of belligerence" were in con-_
flict with the 1949 Egyptian-
Israel armistice pact and with
the 1951 Security Council reso-
lution.
Having done all . he could
"through diplomatic means" to
obtain Egyptian compliance, the
UN official said, there was
nothing left but to turn the
1-11
issue over to the International
Court.
To this, Israeli sources re-
torted, in the UN statement,
that "the law does not need
confirmation. It requires im-
plementation. It is in • the
sphere of implementation that
the next developments in the
Suez question should be
sought.' '
Neither Lodge nor the Egyp-
tian declaration made any di-
rect reference to Israel. It was
Julliame Georges - Picot, the.
French representative, who
twice referred to the 1951 Coun-
cil order to Egypt to open the
Canal to Israel .shipping and
who expressed the fear that
Egypt would continue its ille-
gal blockade.
Meanwhile, the US dispatch-
ed the Sixth Fleet to eastern
Mediterranean waters and sim-
ultaneously cautioned both Is-
rael and Arab states against
any effort tog capitalize on Jor-
dan's internal convulsions in a
double-barreled move to keep
the tense Middle East situation
from getting worse.
While Israel kept a close
watch on the upheavals in the
neighboring Hashemite king-
dom, there was a general atti-
tude of calm, emphasized by
the disclosure that Premier
David Ben-Gurion had extend-
ed his vacation.
Washington sources indicated
the Sixth Fleet patrol was a
show of force to restrain Egypt,
Syria and Israel, although no
evidence was offered to indicate
that the warnings to Israel
were necessary.
Representatives of the Presi-
dent's Conference, representing
17 national Jewish organiza-
tions, reviewed with Secretary
Dulles the events in the Middle
East as they affect the U.S.
and • Israel. Philip Klutznick,
Bnai Brith president, spokes-
man, refused to elaborate on
the specific subjects discussed.
Also represented were the
Jewish Agency, American Zion-
ist Council, American Jewish
Congress and JeWish War Vet-
erans. The meeting was held at
the request of the Jewish lead-
ers.

National Jewish Groups Rip Dulles
`Excuse' for King Saud's Policies
(•rom JTA and Other Dispatches)
Secretary of State John Fos-
ter Dulles, who last week linked
Saudi Arabia's "continued ex-
clusion of American personnel
of Jewish faith" with New York
Mayor Robert Wagner's refusal
to greet King Saud on his ar-
rival here last January was at-
attacked in bitter tones by three
Jewish organizations.
The protesting groups were
the American Jewish Commit-
tee, American Jewish Congress
and the Jewish War Veterans.
In a statement by the AJ
Committee, its president, Irving
M. Engel, said that "Secretary
Dulles has employed an irrele-
vant circumstance rather than
acknowledge our own Govern-
*ment failure to prevent the
assaults on American citizen-
ship."
The AJ Congress went a step
further; stating that the remarks
made by Dulles were "incon-

sistent with the facts that are
known to Secretary Dulles him-
self." Dr. Israel Goldstein, Con-
gress president, was spokesman
for .the group.
National commander William
Carmen of the JWV commend-
ed the attitude of the city of
New York _toward King Saud
and characterized Dulles as
having made a deal with the
monarch that ' discriminates
against Americans on the basis
of religion.
All three organizations sum-
med up their statements by in-
sisting that by the countenanc-
ing of religious discrimination,
the State Department has not
only insulted American Jewry
but also the U.S. Constitution.
At his press conference,
Dulles had said that the matter
of Saudi Arabia's refusal to
admit Jewish servicemen to the
Dharan airfield was brought up
in January, but that King Saud
was not very receptive because
of the discriminatory treatment
he received in New York.
The conclusion reached by the
AJ Committee, AJ Congress and
JWV was that the Administra-
tion apparently then dropped
the matter completely.
