Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Inc.) WASHINGTON—In a n a t- tempt to pacify Egypt's ever- hostile and brooding Colonel Gamal Abdel Nasser, Phillips Talbot, U. S. Assistant Secre- tary of State for the Near East and Southeast Asia, was sent to Cairo recently. While Talbot carried a mes- sage to Colonel Nasser from President Johnson, the initia- tive for the trip obviously came from the State Department. From Cairo has been coming pleas, as well as words of euph- oria, uttered by American Am- bassador John S. Badeau, who had been trying hard to con- vince the State Department that Nasser was really a "nice guy," and that it was truly unfortun- ate that the Arab leader was being rewarded with unpleasant United States speeches. Actually, in light of the out- come of last January's 13-state Cairo summit conference, Nas- ser had recently seemed like much more of a "nice guy" than the United States had been prone to give him credit for being. But, after all, he could hardly have begun to make true his aggression threats to Israel until he had succeeded in ob- taining Arab unity. However, soon after the Cairo summit had ended, Alexis John- son, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, made his Arab-shaking speech to let it be known the U.S. in the interests of peace, would tolerate neither Arab- Arab aggression nor that of Arab states against Israel — es- sentially a reiteration of a well- known U. S. position. Interest- ingly, Johnson had been invit- ed to talk by a private pro- Arab group; and Arab diplo- mats later commented privately that the speech had nothing in it. The general Arab outcry had mererly been made because the Johnson's speech immediately followed t h e Cairo summit Which had threatened action against Israel's Jordan River ir- rigation scheme. Then, in New York, at the Weizmann Institute dinner, President Lyndon Johnson, understanding the Jordan irri- gation problems, issued an offer to Israel for U. S. cooperation in a desalination project. The President's speech also stressed American willingness for simi- lar cooperation with all countr- ies. The Arabs apparently turn- ed a deaf ear to this offer and continued with a barrage of verbal attacks against the John- son Administration as being pro-Israel to the Arabs' detri- ment. Nasser began to thunder that war with Israel was "inevit- able." He also called for the liquidation of American and British Air Force bases in Libya. This last incident, though not of prime importance, cer- tainly appears to be one of the reason for Talbot's recent trip. But the present Egyptian cry- ing actually has also served as a cover-up for Nasser's refusal to withdraw his own forces from Yemen. UN Secretary- General U Thant had pointed out in his last report that not YOUR DICTIONARY FOR TODAY you think (m.) you think (f.) easy hard or we are glad (happy) to receive address man — men woman — women to know (become acquainted newspaper you (m. p1.) how many (how much)? of yours (m. pl.) Plant Pathologist Jacob Joseph Taubenhaus, a Palestinian-born American plant pathologist, was one of the pio- neers in the field in this country earlier this century. His major contribution was in the treatment of the diseases of the hollyhock. OV7V) THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS 13 Friday, June 19, 1964 only did Nasser not withdraw any of his troops (as he had promised the United States a year ago), but in the last two months Egyptian forces in Ye- men were actually increased by 2,000. Democratic Senator Ernest Gruening of Alaska urged Pres- ident Johnson to "ascertain all the facts necessary . . . to make the determination called for by the anti-aggressor amendment (to the Foreign Aid Act) with respect to Egypt." In a major Senate speech, Sen. Gruening noted "Nasser's constant threats against the very existence of Israel and her arms build up." The Alaskan Senator also disclosed that until the end of 1963 Egypt had re- ceived $807,000,000 in U. S. foreign assistance, diverting aid to engage in aggression against her neighbors; the money was to have been used for improv- ing the Egyptian economy. Asked Senator Gruening to- ward the end of his Senate-ap- plauded speech, "How long will the U. S. continue to finance Nasser's trouble-making in the Middle East? How long will the U.S. accept the excuses of Nas- ser's apologists? How long (will the U. S.) accept Nasser's pro- testations of neutrality when his actions really play the Commun- ist game?" Many Washington observers now realize that Nasser's apolo- gists in both Washington and Cario have so far had a rela- ttively easy job of explaining away to the American public Egypt's actions in such remote places as Yemen. But now that Colonel Nasser had called dir- ectly for the cancelation of Am- erican military base agreements in other countries, he has step- ped just a bit too hard on American toes. Like. BRANDY ?
