A-14 THE EVENING STAR, Washington, D. C. WEDNESDAY. IAXCAKV in. 1»«7 “ More Arab-lsrael Debate Due at Mideast Hearing By ROBERT K. WALSH Arab-lsrael troubles seemed likely to monopolize discussion by , witnesses again today at House Foreign Affairs Committee hear ings on President Eisenhower’s plan for promoting economic sta- , bility and security from Soviet aggression in the Middle East. Rabbi Philip S. Bernstein, chairman of the American Zionist Committee for Public Affairs, and Salem Bader, representing the United States Arab Asian Institute, were scheduled to be 1 heard. Others invited to present 1 views on the administration's pending resolution included three House Democrats—Represents- , tives Celler and Multer of New i York and Roosevelt of California | Although the committee’s ses- i sion yesterday covered numerous i aspects of the Middle East prob- i lems and of the resolution in-1 tended to cope with them, many 1 comments and a few sharp ex- ’ changes dealt largely with Israel and the Arab countries. j i Cites Dangers in Arms The most detailed analysis of" the Middle East situation and ' criticism of the resolution were ; presented late in the afternoon' by Paul B. Johnson, speaking for the Society of Friends’ Com- , mittee on National Legislation. ’ Mr. Johnson explained he did , not speak for all Quakers but believed the FCNL reflected their general attitude. As for the pending resolution.; Mr. Johnson cautioned against giving the President "an undated declaration of war.” The mili tary assistance program designed to arm Middle East nations against possible Soviet aggres sion, he warned, could amount to arming "both sides in the Arab lsrael conflict. He said he was apprehensive lest the resolution in other ways "would seem to reinforce rather than dispel misconceptions cur rent in the Arab world as to the purpose of the United States there.” Peoples of the Middle East, he said, should not be given reason to suppose that “we place most of our reliance upon sterile military agreements.” "Economic development,” he declared, “is valid as an end in Itself and must not be either a prize for co-operation with United States policies or a polit ical Instrument of the United' States Government or a secon dary partner in some emergency JANUARY CLOTHING SALES % wMm WHY BUY NOW?

Veterans Leader Speaks The third witness yesterday, National Commander William Carmen of the Jewish War Vet erans, said his organization favors the proposed resolution. He added, however, that the resolution should be revised and strengthened so that it will not merely preserve the status quo in the Middle East and fail to deal with the basic need for achieving an agreement between the Arabs and Israel. “The resolution, in the sense (fjf/ . / # FOR YOUR INAUGURAL ENTERTAINING!
