Israel's maritime rights was
that it ought not to be as-
sumed in advance that the
Suez Canal would be closed
to Israeli shipping. He indi-

in the case of passage through
the straits of Aqaba, that
the United States took a de-
finite stand.
WASHINGTON — President
Eisenhower Wednesday told a
press conference that he sees no
objection if Israel makes a
peaceful test by sending a ship
through the Suez Canal.

A point understood to have
been brought up by Mr. Ham-
marskjold was his dissatisfac-
tion with the manner in which
the Israeli press has referred to
him. He indicated he felt he had
been depicted as anti-Israel and,
at times, anti-Jewish.
However, when the confer-
ences were over, all emerged
smiling. Ben-Gurion told cor-
respondents, while c r o w d s
cheered him, "the work is fin-

whether anything was accom-
plished, smiled and said: "Do I
look unhappy?"

Hammarskjold and Ben Guri-
on held two sessions, one on
Thursday, when Hammarskjold
arrived, and another on Friday.
Participants included Gen.
Moshe Dayan, Israeli Chief of
Staff and Israeli Foreign MM-
ister. Mrs. Golda Meir. Ralph
Bunche, and an advisory staff
were with Hammarskjold.
The background of the talks
was a series of contacts at lower
levels to determine whether
any purpose would be served
by a Hammarskjold visit to Is-
rael. When the UN official first
discussed such a visit, he pro-
posed an agenda on the issues
of reinstating the Israel-Egyp-
tian armistice agreement and
the stationing of United Na-
tions Emergency Force units on
Israel's side of the Gaza Strip
border, as well as evacuation of
Israeli troops from the demili-
tarized zone at El Auja on the
Israeli-Egyptian border.
The newspaper Al Shaab said:
"Thus Dulles begins to create
trouble in the area."
The newspaper Al Akhbar
suggested that Dulles meant the
U.S. would continue its freeze
of Egypt's dollar holdings and
"create further trouble" for
Egypt unless Egypt permits
passage of Israeli commerce.
Another attack on Dulles and
the U.S. was featured in Al
Ahram. This newspaper charged
that "at a time when Britain
permits ships to pass through
Suez Canal under Egypt's
terms, Dulles encourages Israel
to fish in troubled waters by
declaring he would not be op-
posed to Israel's sending a test
ship" through the Suez water-
way. _

After the brief and uncom-

was issued, an Israeli spokes-
man said that the Premier re-
peatedly asked the Secretary
General about his efforts to ob-
tain from Nasser an answer to
the all-important question on

Refusing to hold a press con-

REPAIRED
The Premier let it be
known t hat prospects of
peace, the question of Suez
Canal passage and the over-
riding issue of a reply from
President Nasser of Egypt on
whether he was ready to sur-
render claims of a "right to
belligerence" were the pri-
mary matters requiring UN
attention.
Unusual security arrange-
ments greeted the Secretary
General on arrival. Lydda
airport was surrounded like
a besieged fortress. Heavy
police cordons were set up
around and on the field.
Newsmen were barred from
the runways.
Hammarskjold Satisfied
With Talks With Israelis
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.,
(JTA)—Secretary General Dag
Hammarskjold was "very satis-
fied" with the talks he held in
Israel during a two-day visit
to Jerusalem from which he
returned here this morning. He
made that assertion upon re-
turning to headquarters, saying
he felt his entire trip — which
had taken him also to Rome and
Geneva — "proved a most use-
ful one, and the contacts in
Israel were no exception."
Asked upon his arrival at the
International Airport whether
he plans to continue his private
negotiations between Israel and
Egypt, Hammarskjold replied:
"I am not between anyone. I am
acting on behalf of all members
of the United Nations in discus-
sions with an other members."
