Stories emanating from Cairo link the charged collusion with an attempt to sacri- fice the Arab refugees. Osgood Caruthers; New York Times correspondent, re- ported from Cairo: "Diplomats see in President Nasser's campaign an all-out effort to incite the half-million Palestine refugees in Jordan to open revolt." The Egyptian campaign also include- d accusations against Lebanon and its Foreign Minister Charles Malik. JTA reports from London that Lebanon had de- livered a strong protest to Egypt against the Egyptian press attacks on Malik which accused ''him of colluSion with the Israeli Ambassador Abba Eban in the United States. The charges in the Egyptian newspapers alleged that Malik was plotting with Israel and the United States against "Arab unity." The JTA report states that an alleged exchange of friendly messages be- tween Malik and Eban is quoted in the Cairo press. The Egyptian home service broadcast commented that "the Arab peoples will -not allow imperialism and its stooges to carry out their cunning plans." Ambassador Eban was quoted as hav- ing told Malik his attitude "has met with much satisfaction in Tel Aviv." Walter Eytan, director of the Israel Ministry for Foreign Affairs, in a Kol Zion broadcast, made this comment on the alleged correspondence: "Egypt and Syria produced this supposed exchange of letters between Mr. U.S. Calls Reports of 'Secret' Talks Egyptian Propaganda WASHINGTON, (JTA)—Egyptian reports of secret Israeli talks with Arab states friendly to the United States were described by. State Department spokesman Lincoln White as "self-serving propaganda which has no basis in fact." Cairo reports had alleged that the United States is acting as mediator in talks between Israel and Arab states opposed to Egypt and Syria. The purported talks were about "resettlement of Arab refugees in Iraq." White said the United States knows of no such talks. He noted, however, that the United States favors all peaceful efforts to resolve Arab-Israel problems including direct conversations. State Department sources said Egypt and Syria are attempt- ing to inflame the Arab masses against the anti-Nasser leaders of other Arab states by alleging that a plot is underway in col- lusion with Israel and the United States against the interests of Arab refugees now living in Jordan.

Another report originating with the Middle East News Agency in Cairo claimed that American ships "regularly" call at the Israeli port of Elath, at the head of the Gulf of Aqaba. The Arab news agency alleged that two Israeli destroyers and two torpedo boats maintain "round-the-clock" watches between Elath and the Tiran Straits. (The arrival of Soviet submarines in Egypt was believed among topics discussed Wednesday when Israel Ambassador Abba Eban met with William Rountree, Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs, in Washington). (From Jerusalem it was reported to the JTA that political observers there believe the Soviet submarine transfer and the dispatch of Russian vessels to the Mediterranean Sea were basi- cally anti-American moves to back up Syria and to convince the West that no matter how many Soviet notes it rejects the USSR is in - fact a Middle East Power. Nevertheless, informed Israeli quarters feel that while Moscow may have anti-American aims, Egypt's President Nasser will use the submarines and this new demonstration of Soviet support as anti-Israel weapons, the cable stated.)
