U.S. Fears Pales

Communistic
WASHINGTON. . The new'
American efforts to restore peace
in Palestine were traced by diplo
matic quarters yesterday to Ours !
that continued fighting may de
liver the Middle East in.to com- I
munist .hands.
The state department d.scxstd
Wednesday that it has delivere i
“friendly” warnings to b >:h Israel
and Egypt in an atempt to curtail
the scope of Jewish-Arab hosti; -
ties and help bring an arm:stice.
The warnings followed Anglo
American consultations in which
British Middle-Eastern exper t s
warned that the present trend of
events in that strategic area would
inevitably lead to communism.
The British position, shared by
many American officials, is that
Russia is playing both ends against
the middle in order to create in the
Middle East the chaos on which
communism thrives.
On one hand, for example, com
munist propaganda has urged the
masses of the Arab nations to rise
against their “reactionary" 1c. d
ers.
On the other, through commun
ist-controllecT Czechoslovakia, Is
rael has been supplied vi h equip
ment with which to tan th-' £• ner

In its latest note to Israel, thp
United States asked the Jewish
state to withdraw troops which
had crossed the Egyptian border

Red Cross officials said more
than 2,200 persons fled from their
homes in the Columbus, Miss.,
area by flood waters from two
rivers. Columbus was virtually
isolated. Fifty thousand acres of
land were flooded. •
Another thousand persons were
I driven from their homes in Ala
| bama and Tennessee.
Rail and highway traffic in the
I Birmingham and Gadsen, Ala.,
| areas was curtailed by the surg
ing waters. More than six inches
of rain fell in Birmingham in 30
hours, a new January record.
In the storm-swept west, the
army and the Red Cross workers,
as well as hundreds of civilians,
joined in the efforts to bring re
lief to the thousands suffering
from cold and lack of food.
The army of rescue workers bat
. lied through the high snow drifts
in the blizzard area in efforts to
reach the thousands stranded by
the s orm which had lashed the
plains for three days. Military and
i civilian planes flew over the snow
i covered region, dropping food and
clothing to hundreds in stalled au
tomobiles and trains.
The known death toll in the
storm belt was five. However, fear
was expressed it might rise after
he drifts finally are celared.
Some trains started moving and
men got to work clearing tracks.
| However, 18 passenger trains with
j 2.240 aboard remained tied up in
'Wyoming. The Union Pacific plan
ned to start its eastbound trains
moving.
A Red Cross train picked up
' about 600 stranded persons at
: Rockport, Nunn and Lone Tree in
i Colorado and took them to Den
ver. Some in need of medical aid
were left off at Greeiey, Colo., and
others at - Cheyenne, Wyo.
Kilgore Charges
’Insidious* Lobbies
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Sen. Har
ley M. Kilgore. <D.-W. Vad called
yesterday for a Congressional in
vestigation of “insidious” lobby
ists who. he said, try to win favors
wifh whiskey and free Cadillacs.
Kilgore said he will ask the
Senate to authorize its judiciary
committee to make the inquiry. A
ranking Democrat on the commit
I tee, he himself probably would be
put in charge of such an investiga
tion.
The West Virginian said an in
quiry is necessary to lqv the
groundwork for a better lobbying
act than the one now on the sta
tute books.
“The worst offenders,” Kilgore
said, “include those lobbyists who
come here under the guise of be
ing a member’s constituent. They
arc no! registered as lobbyists and
nev*cr admit that they are lobby
ists. They pose simply as a resi
dent of the member's state. That’s
one group we want to expose.”
Kilgore emphasized #there are
“good lobbyists" who prove help
ful to Congress. He said these men
never hide their purpose, but rcad
; y admit it and explain the way
hey think a piece of legislation
should be written.
“Then there are others,” he said,
“who think they can win by offer
ing a case of whisky to a member
of Congress. And those who ore
offering you free Cadillacs or try
ing to get favors through costly
entertaining.”
