Arab desire for progress than
the purchase of rockets.
Keating declared that. prior
to Arab agreement • to re-
gional water undertakings,
the United States should with-
: hold rocket shipments to the
• UAR which might increase
tensions. He said the whole
matter would be raised in
the context of the Foreign
Aid Bill now pending before
Congress.
Representative Seymour Hal-
pern, New York Republican,
said in the House that "the
State Department is apparently
attempting to woo Nasser, the
Castro of the Nile, in an at-
tempt to buy his favor as he
craftily plays off East against
West."
Halpern raised an issue of
application of the Battle Act,
revealing that he has asked the
Department of C o m m e r c e,
charged under law with keep-
ing strategic information and
material out of Communist
hands, to delay issuance of ex-
port permits pending reconsid-
eration.

Halpern pointed out that the
UAR, "a regime that has col-
laborated closely with the Sino-
Soviet bloc," has attached to
its army various technicians and
instructors from Czechoslovakia
and other Communist nations
who would have access to any
vital data.
Asserting that the State De-
partment is rewarding the

boycott and blockade tactics.
His bills would amend both the
foreign aid authorization and
appropriation acts.
Halpern told the House his
bills would "write into the act
unqualified, unequivocal lan-
guage and would serve notice
to the world that the United
States expects the recipients of
its foreign aid to adhere to
morality and justice."
He said that a weak provi-
sion in the preamble to the
pending Administration bill,
now facing entire elimination
by Chairman\ Fulbright of the
Senate Foreign Relations Com-
mittee, with concurrence of the
State Department, was incon-
sistent with "the high princi-
ples set forth by President
Kennedy in his foreign aid mes-
sage linking social justice and
morality with American assist-
ance."

Halpern cited what he termed
a "disgusting" situation in
which American citizens, in-
cluding even government offi-
cials, were barred on a basis
of religion from Arab states

(In Cairo, an Arab League
spokesman depicted Israel's
rocket launching as "proof"
that "Israel is still bent on
aggressive purposes" and as-
serted that the rockets were
"military" preparations against
the Arabs. One Cairo news-
paper .said the rocket showed
the Arab states must "attack
the enemy." According to the
Arab League office, the Arab
states "will certainly give the
most careful consideration to
the development.")

In his message to the Sec-
retary of State, Keating asked
for specific information on
