As Government Emissary
(Continued from Page 1)

Presidential spokesman James
Hagerty said Dr. Elson is
travelling with a personal letter
of introduction from President
Eisenhower, but that "in no
sense is he any government
emissary." Dr. Elson's name was
mentioned after Israeli Premier
Ben-Gurion said in Jerusalem
Thursday that the "head Of a
certain great power" had asked
a noted American associated
with a Christian religious or-
ganization to initiate contacts
with Nasser that might lead to
peace talks. Ben-Gurion said
the envoy returned "with empty
hands."
Dr. Elson met with Nasser
June 29 - in Cairo. He is en route
to Saudi Arabia, where he is
scheduled to have an audience
with King Saud. It was in-
dicated that after his return to
Washington he will tindoUbtedly
brief the President an his im-
pressions as has been the case
on previous extensive trips. he
has made to the area, but he
will be reporting purely as a
private citizen.

New, York Daily News said
Congressman a m Clayton
Powell, pastor of the Abyssin-
ian Baptist Church in New
York who bolted the Demo-
cratic Party to support - Eisen-
hower in 1956, "disclosed" that
he is the "religious -leader"
representing the "head of a
certain great power" who at-
tempted to mediate the Arab-
Israel dispute. 'Ile said that he
made this attempt before Is-
rael entered the Sinai area last
fall and hinted that he will try
again in- September. No one at
the State Department in Wash-
ington would comment on Rep:
Powell's statement in Paris.)
