Lawton to Sub for Ike
at Anniversary Fetes

WASHINGTON — Presi-
dent Eisenhower designated Ed-
ward B. Lawson, U.S. Ambassa-
dor to Israel, to represent him
at Israel's tenth anniversary
celebration.
White House spokesman
James Hagerty told newsmen
that there had been considera-
tion of sending a special offi-
cial delegration from the United
States to honor the Israel anni-
versary, but it was decided to
designate the Ambassador who
is already in Israel. Hagerty
pointed out that other countries
are doing the same thing.
The Israel Embassy here said
the government of Israel wel-
comed President Eisenhower's
action in appointing Ambassa-
dor Lawson to represent him
at the anniversary celebrations.
"The government of Israel has
deep admiration of Ambassa-
dor Lawson's qualities and of
his services to international un-
derstanding," said the Embassy
statement.
It was learned from official
U.S. sources that the State De-
partment thought too much
American recognition of the
Israeli event would jeopardize
U.S. diplomacy in the Arab
world.
