Interpreting News
by J. M. Roberts

It begins to appear that Is
rael Will get arras ilf she really
needs them to insure her se
curity, and thereby lessen the
johances of war in the Middle
East Which could spread o war
in the world.
The hope that Russia could
be persuaded to call off ship
ment of Czech arms to Egypt
is fizzling out. Russian state
ments in Geneva Tuesday
made it clear that shipments
will continue. The Russian sta
tement that the arms will not
be used to hurt Israel is just a
nother Russian statement.
The Russians have finally
brought into the open, how
ever, an important factor in
the Whole Middle East situa
tion. Arming oif Egypt repre
sents counter-action against
the “northern tier” pact be
tween Turkey, Iraq. Iran, Pak
istan and Britain, say the Rus
sians. And this is partly true.
Brittain has stepped up her
aims shipments to Iraq, espec
ially.
Russia, choosing to accept
this as a threat, made it a race
Iby tying up with Cairo and try
inlg to work herself in wntn the
Arab countries which fought
the pact, Syria and Egypt, oi
which align themselves with
Egypt, as Saudi Aratoia and Le
banon.
.This is a douible dose of com
munist disruptiveness, heighten
inig .the trouble between Israel
and Egypt at the same time it
emphasizes the differences with
in the Arab world itself.
The American announcement
that Israel’s appeals for arms
will toe “considered,” however,
opens the door on an idea which
has been avoided in previous
consideration oif the program.
One thing that the United
States and Britain have kept in
mind since the crisis develop
ed is .‘.hat Israel had the edge
when Czech sales to Egypt
were announced1, and they have
been waiting to see whether
Egypt is actually going to de
velop the power necessary be
fore any attack.
Also, iLhey don’t want to give
Israel the power to implement
her talk of preventive war.
Such a policy in South Korea
prior to June, I960, eventually
proved very expensive, tout it
is one with which the demo
cracies are inherently stuck.
A controlled feeding of arms
Jo Israel might maintain the
balance while Egypt is still re
ceiving communist materiel.
But it iwould also intensify the j
dianger to the rest of the world
if a new War developed anyway
Beifore this thing simmers
down, the Western powers may
yet have ito say what the Unit
ed States once said in an effort
to (put a damper on Red Chin- j
ese ambitions in the Far East!
— that an aggressor will have]
to expect powerful retaliation j
I 1 J
It just isn’t in the cards for'
the (big powers to let these
small countries set off fuses
which lead to explosive situa
tions in many directions.

teens extended southward ov
er the Dakotas into Nebraska.
1 The freezing line covered sec

across the Rockies, over most
of Nevada and northeastward
into central Montana. Brisk
northerly winds were reported
in many areas.
The wet 'belt during the

tral gulf coast up the Mississ
ippi valley and over the east
ern Great Lakes region. Snow,

and. rain mixed with snow
dell in 'Michigan. The snow

Little houses moved
from in front of
Russian residence
GEMBViA (/P) The Geneva
police department — with a
cute embarrassment — today
removed two little wooden
houses from the front gates of
Soviet foreign minister M. V.
Molotov’s villa.
“It is unfortunate,” said
Brig. A. A. Gusson. “The little
wooden houses actually are
I sentry boxes, but someone
j complained that they resem
bled ano.her sort of little wood
en house and asked that they
'be removed.”
Pressed for details the Swiss
non-commissioned police offic
er said:
‘ Someone — I’m not sayinig
who — thought they resembl
ed the little wooden houses
hat stand behind farm houses
j in Russia and other agrioultur
|al areas of the world. There
Was a complaint and they had
to go.”
