Nasser's 'Spit-in-the-Eye Tactics Assailed in Congress

(Continued from Page 1)
ministration spokesmen were ready
to link pro-Israel sentiment with
the amendment. there was enough
of a case against Nasser even if
Israel did not exist.
The line that "the Jews" were

behind the anti-Nasser amendment
was refuted by votes of three con-
gressmen of Jewish faith against
it. They were Representatives
Charles J o e l s o n. New Jersey
Democrat. and Joseph Y. Resnick
and Richard Ottinger, both New

York Democrats.
Many of the Democrats who
favored the amendment were from
districts with few Jewish resi-
dents.
Rep. H. R. Gross. Iowa Repub-
lican. spoke for many Republi-
cans when he voiced his views of
Nasser. The remarks of . Rep.
Gross. who is a non-Jew, had noth-
ing to do with Israel. He said that
"when Nasser recently told the
U.S. Government. in effect, to go
to hell. President Johnson should
have taken immediate action to cut
off assistance of every description.
It is senseless to supply Nasser
with any kind of aid while he buys
arms from the Communists and
supplies them to the rebels in the
Congo. thus helping to make possi-
ble the butchery of thousands of
whites and blacks."
An old friend of Israel. Speaker
of the House John McCormack. of
Massachusetts, found himself in
the position of administration
spokesman. He did not try to de-
fend Nasser. but urged defeat of
the amendment because it would
"tie the hands of the President
in connection with foreign affairs."
Rep. McCormack voiced confidence
in the' President's leadership and
wanted Congress to leave Egyptian
policy to the State Department.

Another voice from Massa-
chusetts was that of a liberal
Republican. Rep. Silvio Conte. He
felt "Nasser has been thumbing
his nose at the United States long
enough." He _ cited the Egyptian
relationship with Russia. In his
view. "we are now in a position
to tell these aggressors that. if
they want food. let them stop
threatening the peace of the
world. or let them go to Russia,
which is presently having a hard
enough time feeding her own peo-
ple. the Chinese, the Cubans."
lie said: "There are other peo-
ple and other countries who are
not so bent on destroying their
neighbors. not so flaunting and
biting the hand that feeds them.
who could use our aid and help us
Promote love and peace in the
world."
Rep. Robert Stafford, Vermont

Republican. told the House of his
recent visit to Egypt. He found .
that Egyptians "have no idea that
the wheat being distributed there
comes from the United States."
He said they were led to believe
"Mr. Nasser raised it himself.**

that he would support and fight
