Syria's President Shukri Kuwat- ly arrived yesterday. Saudi Arab- ia's Kind Saud and Jordan's King Hussein are coming today. The formal conference is to take plac 1 tomorrow or Tuesday. King Saud will report to the meeting on his mission to Wash- ington, with emphasis on his an- alysis of what the F bhowe doctrine for the Middle East means to the Arabs. Common Bonds The wealthy Saudi Arabiar monarch has been visiting Spair and the Arab nations of Nort. Africa since he left Washingtor two weeks ago. Common bonds of Egypt, Saud: Arabia, Jordan and Syria includ opposition to Israel and the pro- Western Baghdad Pact. But a strain on their unity is sh wing up in differences over the Eisenhowei doctrine. Saudi Arabia and Jordan have responded favorably to the new 4 American policy. Egypt and Syria still preach Arab neutralism. Saud's visit to Washington re- sulted in agreement for continued use by the United States of the Dhahran Air Base in return for United States military-economic aid to Saudi Arabia. Syria Pro-Soviet Hussein has directed his govern- ment to take an anti-Communist " line ante is reported "to hav. #p- plied for United States assistance for Jordan, which is soon cutting the last of its old ties with Britain. Dominated by a clique of pro- Soviet army officers, Syria has been the most hostile of the Arab nations toward the Eisenhower doctrine, although Kuwatly's gov- ernment officially adopted a wait- and-see attitude pending Saud's return. Some leaders of Syria's strong Socialist party are reported to have threatened to stir up a re- volt in Saudi Arabia if Saud com- mits himself to a pro-Western pol- icy that they would consider hos-' tile to Egypt and Syria. Nasser has refraiied from de- claring himself publicly, though the government-controlled press' has been generally unfriendly to- ward the Eisenhower doctrine. His friends say privately the Egyptian leader views the doctrine as an effort to isolate him fr.om his allies.

Auto Plates Change Near WASHINGTON (A')-The Israeli troop crisis raced toward a climax yesterday with the prospect that President Dwight D. Eisenhower would decide today the United States stand on proposed United Nations sanctions against Israel. Here are the developments: 1. Secretary of State John Fos- ter Dulles invited congressional leaders to an extraordinary Sun- day conference at which he would tell them what line the United States will take toward Israel in the United Nations General As- sembly debate tomorrow. Eban En Route 2. Israeli Ambassador Abba Eban was en route to Washington from Jerusalem with a detailed report from Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion for President Eisen- hower on the Israeli government's present position on the troop with- drawal dispute. Eban will meet with Sec. Dulles today in advance of the congressional conference. 3. President Eisenhower has re- ceived a new personal and secret message from Ben-Gurion, The White House confirmed that it reached the President Friday. It is understood to make a new ap- peal for United States guarantees of Israel's security interests in the Gaza Strip and Gulf of Aqaba be- fore Israeli troops are pulled out of those areas. 4. The Israeli government was reported seeking British and French support for its terms in an effort to bring pressure against the United States and thereby break down President Eisenhower's in- sistence that Israeli troops must be withdrawn from Egypt uncon- ditionally. 5. Strong opposition continued in Congress to any move to impose sanctions on Israel. Latest manifestation of this op- position was a statement by Sen. George Humphrey (D-Minn) that he would seriously consider resign- ing from this country's UN dele- gation if the UN votes for sanc- tions. Americans for Democratic Action wired Dulles that "sanc- tions can only increase war ten- sions throughout the world." Actually no officials here seem- ed to think an Israeli reversal was World News Roundup Franco Fires.' MADRID, Spain (P)-A reliable government source said today General Francisco Franco dismiss- ed his cabinet ministers Friday night and told them "a new period" of Spanish political history is be- ginning. No public announcement of the cabinet crisis has been made. The Informant, who was present at the meeting of the cabinet, said Franco told the ministers their tasks had ended. He thanked them for their col- laboration and asked them to con- tinue in their posts until the new cabinet is appointed. This is ex- pected in the next few days. * * * in, the cards but they remained hopeful that Eban might come up with some idea from Ben-Gurion which would move the situation forward. Sec. Dulles was reported pre- pared to tell Eban that the United States was absolutely firm in its determination not to enlarge its assurances and to emphasize that unless Israel withdraws its troops promptly the United States will support a UN move to "exert pressure" on Israel to force the troops out. Administration authorities were reported considering measures- for use if necessary-which would cut off most of the private funds which Israel receives from the United States. The State Department estimates these at about 100 million dollars a year in the form of Israeli bond purchases or outright contribu- tions. Doctrine Opposition The total U.S. government aid to Israel was valued by the same of- ficials at about 50 million dollars a year, but the bulk of aid ship- ments has been suspended since last October. In Washington yesterday two Democratic senators c r i t i c i z e d President Dwight D. Eisenhower's WASHINGTON (A') -- Presi- dent Dwight D. Eisenhower's international broadcast tomor- row will be a 10-minute talk, the White House said yesterday. It is being made on the lth anniversary of the Voice of America. It will be made at 11:30 a.m. EST. Middle East resolution as "dan- gerous" and a tragedy of "wasted effort and energy." Sen. A. J. Ellender (D-La) called the administration's record in the Middle East "a gigantic failure" and the Eisenhower resolution "about as useless as a wart on1 one's nose." He said he would oppose it as "unnecessary, dangerous and shortsighted" when it comes up for a vote in the Senate. Kennedy Criticizes While Sen. Ellender spoke out in a radio address recorded for broadcast over Louisiana stations, Sen. John Kennedy (D-Mass) gave his views in milder speech in Springfield, Mo. Sen. Kennedy said he would vote for the resolution because it would help assure the world of "Ameri- can concern" over what happens in the Middle East. But he questioned what "all the fuss and the furor" has been about when, he said, the resolution has nothing to do with the crisis "that threatens a new Arab-Israeli war over the Gaza Strip and the Gulf of Aqaba." Hold West Awaits U.S. Action In Mid-East Assembly Recesses; Expects Israel Reply UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (A)- Canada, Britain and France yes- terday stepped up their drive to avoid United Nations sanctions against Israel. But they held up definite ac- tion to see what the United States will do in the Middle East crisis. Foreign Secretary Lester B. Pearson of Canada, conferred with European delegates during the day. He has had conferences with delegates of Br:t ain and France and expects to check with them today. Hinges on Ike These three powers and virtual- ly all other countries in the 80- nation Assembly acknowledge the issue of effective sanctions *iinges on the decisions of President Dwight D. Eisenhower after he has weighed the latest word from Israeli Prime Minister David Ben- Gurion. The Assembly is in recess until tomorrow to give the President a chance to see what Israeli Am- bassador tIbba Eban is bringing back from Ben Gurion. Pearson and other delegates hope that United States Chief Delegate Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. will give an indication of the American attitude tomorrow. Rejection Ben-Gurion earlier had rejected the President's appeal to with- draw from the Gulf of Aqaba sec- tion of the Sinai Peninsula and from the Gaza Strip but moved to keep the door open for more negotiations. Foreign Minister Charles Malik of Lebanon put before the As- sembly Fridaypatresolutioncalling on the Assembly to condemn Is- rael for failure to comply with As- sembly requests to withdraw from Egypt and to punish Israel with economic, military and financial restrictions. The resolution was sponsored by Afghanistan, Indonesia, Iraq, Leb- anon, Pakistan and Sudan. Its backers said the entire 27- nation Asian-African bloc was supporting it. However, word came from Manila that the Philip- pines, one of the 27, will abstain. German Club Presents Play The first meeting of the Deut-1 scher Verein at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow in Room 3G of the Union, will feature "Mord in der Deutscher Abterlung," a faculty-student play.

With 134 accounted for as sur- vivors, the toll may reach 25. Five bodies have been recovered. From 17 to 20 men are missing and feared dead. "It is very doubtful they will be found alive," said an Air Force in- formation officer who visited the crash site, at the Han's mouth on the Yellow Sea only 11/2 miles south of the demilitarized zone separating North and South Korea. Tides from the Yellow Sea washed in and out over the wreck of the 90-ton transport, a C124C Globemaster.

However, New York Harbor still was beset by a strike of tugboat- men, now in its 23rd day. Commnittee To Employ Recordings WASHINGTON ()-Senate in- vestigators said yesterday they will use secretly recorded gangster conversations and testimony from prostitutes, gamblers and others to show whether some West Coast officials of the Teamsters Union had ties with the underworld. Chairman John McClellan (D- Ark.) said his special Senate rack- ets investigating committee has "pretty conclusive proof" about the relations between Seattle and Portland, Ore., racketeers and offi- cials of the union in both cities. The committee, conducting a nationwide search for evidence of gangster infiltration and corrup. tion in organized labor and indus- try, has selected the situation in Portland as the starting point for its public hearings, The Senate has voted $350,000 to finance the investigation. 'Muscle In' Sen. McClellan and Robert F. Kennedy, the committee's special counsel, said they expect to show that racketeers and Teamsters Union officials from Seattle have attempted to "muscle in" on Port- land rackets also involving team- sters officials and racketeers. Kennedy said the committee has gotten hold of some tape recorded conversation which will shed light jHe said "someone" not connected with the committee hid a micro- phone or "bug" in a room where the talks took place. "The situation was that on. group of gangsters bugged another group of gangsters," Kennedy said. He and Sen. McClellan said they have subpoenaed some 20 witnesses for days of hearings on Portland. The witnesses include some pub. lie officials, union officers and per. sons Kennedy described as."profi- cient in gambling and bootlegging who make it a profession, and persons proficient at prostitution." Nicoletti He refused to identify witnesses this far in advance lest, he said, "there be an attempt to intimidate them.", He said there already has been the case of a New York witness in another phase of the inquiry who was threatened with bodily harm if he gave information to the com- mittee. -e has named this man as An- thony Nicoletti, financial secretary of the Suffolk County, N. Y., Car- penters Union. Sen. McClellan said the Portland investigation has progressed to a point showing attempts from Seattle to "muscle in" on Port- land rackets, including efforts to "control" gambling, prostitution, pin ball operations and illicit after- hours drinking spots, "I think the evidence will show a public official involved," he said, and added that it also "involves teamsters union officials." The Portland City Council had requested the investigation. A grand jury in Portland already has handed down a series of on- spiracy indictments against Dist. Atty. William Langley of Multno- mah County and others. Another grand jury investigation is under way there. StudyGrant Petitions Due Petitioning for a year's study in England ends March 30, Joe Col- lins, '58, president of student government council, said yesterday. Two grants are being offered by the newly created Alumni Student Leader Fellowship in an exchange program with the University of Oxford by SGC. Eligible anlicants "must be ac- charged. Later he commented: "When I found out I was not. to be indicted or hanged, I began to' think about the rest of my life as a bonus to be spent wisely. "I had long reflections on the past and decided that Japan must have real democacy and never again adopt dictatorship by any- one - military or nonmilitary - and never yield to extremists-- Communists or Fascits." His stepup to be Japan's sev- enth prime minister since the war resulted from the resignation be- cause of Ulness yes:erday of Prime Minister Tanzan Ishibashi, 72 years old, after only 63 days in of- fice.
