• WASHINGTON—Details of a
Massive flow of Soviet arms
into Arab states were revealed
Wednesday in a Senate speech
by Sen. Jacob K. Javits, New
York Republican.
Sen. Javits said he had ob-
tained administration statistic
revealing that about three
fourths of all Soviet bloc mili-
tary assistance to non-Com-
munist states—$580,000,000 out
of a total of $780,000,000—went
to the United Arab Republic,
Iraq and Yemen, from 1955 to
1959.
The largest recipient of
Soviet arms is the UAR, in the
amount of $443,000,000. Iraq
received $120,000,000 in arms,
while Yemen got $17,000,000.
New advanced planes, tanks
and other modern weapons are
pouring into Egypt in a "huge
F'oviet build up," said Sen.
Javits.
He said "these alarming sta-
tistics" were disclosed to him
by the administration in its
summary presentation of the
Mutual Security Program for
1961. He called attention to
Soviet economic penetration of
the Arab countries through aid
totaling $696,000,000. Of this
sum, $515,000,000 went to the
UAR.
The UAR was shown by Sen.
Javits to be the largest single
recipient of Soviet military and
economic assistance. He warned
that the UAR was adopting a
more aggressive policy. against
Israel and threatening the
peace. He urged that the United
States assist Israel to maintain
a balanee• of power.
Sen. Javits -called for re-
affirmation of _the 1950 Anglo-
French-American Tri p ar tit e
Declaration and, the deCision by
the three powers on action if
the _declaration is invoked by
aggression, or in the alterna-
tive giving Israel the military
equipment to maintain its own
defenses.
He said the Soviet Union
applies pressure in the Near
East whenever such pressure
seems attractive to their global
strategy. He said "it ought to
be made clear that such moves
will not be profitable." He
charged that the UAR now has
12 modern Soviet submarines
in operation, threatening the
Eastern Mediterranean. He said
intelligence reports indicated
crews of the UAR submarines
include Soviet bloc naval per-
sonnel.
UAR Protests 13-.C's _
`Behavior' on U.S. Trip
WASHINGTON, (JTA)—The
United Arab Republic protested
to the State Department against
the "behavior" of Israel Prime
Minister David Ben-Gurion in
the United States.
The UAR cited especially: a l
statement by Ben-Gurion on ,
March 16 before the Jewish -
Theological Seminary in which
he was quoted as saying: "/
want you to come to Israel to
live, and- to create, and to suf-•
fer with : us, and if, God forbid,
should .it.be necessary, to. fight
with us." - •
The -.TEAR termed this an at-,
tempt "to instigate a segment
of the people of the United
'States 'to - immigrate • to Pales-
tine to fight the Arab peoples:"
