WASHINGTON, D.C.—State •De-
partment officials often find them-
selves in a quandary over the situ-
ation in the Middle East. Our gov-
ernment is committed to a binding
friendship with Israel, but there is
such fear over the communist
propaganda in the area, there is
so much concern lest the Kremlin
gain a stronger foothold in Arab
countries. that the spokesmen for
our government's policies often
play" double roles: emphasizing an
interest in Israel's security while
providing her antagonists with aid
that mad undermine that safety.
On sevyral occasions during last
week's State Department National
Foreign Policy Conference, the is-
sues revolving around the Middle
East's situation cropped up. Well
trained and excellently briefed
members of various departments
in the State Department approached
the issues with caution. There was
every effort to avoid being charged
with favoritism one way or an-
other. Yet conference participants
were puzzled by some major de-
velopments. primarily the one that
caused our government's chief UN
spokesman to be so severely criti-
cal of Israel without having suc-
ceeded in censuring Arabs for
having provoked the current crisis.
There was one special question
that was intended for the perma-
nent U. S. delegate to the United

a pledge has been made to pro-

sions. In the Middle East—so the
State Department spokesman
argued — two parties are in-
volved, both of which are being
treated equally as elements to
whom this government appeals
to strive for peace.
