should bring before the United
Nations Nasser’s aggressions in
Yemen, his w ar preparations a-
gainst Israel and his dealings
against the British in Aden. He
said that effort should be made
to halt Nasser’s collision course
and that if the Soviets vetoed
such action, “at least the United
States will have tried to act.”
He criticized the giving of
hundreds of millions of Ameri-
can aid dollars to Egypt which,
he said, enabled Nasser to de
velop missiles to use to destroy
Israel and to wage aggressive
war in Yemen. He said the
United States should make it
unmistakably clear “that the
United States will not tolerate

anti-Israeli and Western
speeches—continued to blossom
forth this week, hopes for trail
quility in the Near East were
somewhat dashed in W ashing
ton circles.
In recent months there had
grown the feeling in W ashing
ton that A ) The Soviets might
restrain some of their anti-Is
raeli attitudes, and B) That th,
USSR might at least tacitly co
operate in limiting the arms
race in the Near East.
Recent talk of “peaceful co
existence” has flown judiciously
from official Soviet tongues; in
Paris last month, Izvestia edi
tor, Alexei Adjubei stated that
the Soviet Union was ready to
support “a peaceful solution to
the Israeli problem.”
Apparently, however, the de
sire for “peaceful coexistence”
has not prevented the USSR
from trying to inflame senti-
ments in the Near East, inciting
not only threats against Israel.

made in Washington to assure
Israel’s Prime Minister Levi
Fshkol that he is really a wel-
come guest of President John-
son when he comes on his state
visit to this country . . . And
everything points to the fact
that the Eshkol visit will be
an event of major importance
in the American-Israeli rela-
tions not only for the near fu-
ture, but for a long time to
come . . . Important personali-
ties in Washington stress the
fact that this is the first time in
the existence of Israel that an
Israeli Prime Minister has been
officially invited by the Presi-
dent <>f the United States to
come to W ashington on a state
visit . . . They point out that,
while Israel’s former Premier
David Ben-Gurion has con-
ferred with President Kennedy,
it was a kind of “back door"
conference which was not of a
formal nature . . . This is not

Washington (JTA ) —Soviet
Premier Khrushchev’s free-
wheeling tour of Egypt, during
w hich he lined the Soviet Union
solidly behind Nasser’s anti-Is-
rael leadership, touched off
sharp debate this week in the
Senate for a revision of the
State Department’s support of
President Nasser of Egypt.
The debate was launched by
Sen. Ernest Gruening, Alaska
Democrat, who urged President
Johnson to call a meeting at the
highest political level of the
Arab countries “to reason to-
gether” to end the threats of
war by the Arabs against Israel.
Noting Khrushchev’s state-
ments of support for the Arabs
in Cairo, Sen. Gruening said
that if such efforts to bring the
Arabs and Israel for talks fail-

United States to the head of the

importance is attached to the
Johnson-Eshkol meeting be-
cause of the similarity in the
temperament of both statesmen
. It is noted in W ashington
that Premier Eshkol is, like
President Johnson, a person
able to negotiate matters quiet-
ly, with undue excitement, and
without provoking any irrita-
tion . . . They achieve their pur
pose not by throwing their
weight, but by understanding
the interests of all parties in-
volved . . . This being the case,
it is taken for granted in Wash-
ington diplomatic circles that
there will be a good deal of
sincere and long-standing per.
sonal understanding between
President Johnson and Premier
Eshkol when they get to know
each other during the Washing-
ton talks . . . This is consider
