U.S. Intervention in Near East Urged Washington (JTA)—The American Christian Palestine Committee told Secretary of State John Foster Dulles Monday that only llrect Intervention In the Near East can stem the threat of war there. The organization urged the United States to take the initiative to secure the integrity of existing demarcation lines between Israel and the Aral) Stnes and warned that "only an immediate guarantee by the United States of the territorial status quo can lead to an abatement of tensions In the ;a." It also recommended that the Western Powers Invoke the spirit of Geneva and call ujwn the Soviet Union to prevent an arms race.

While in Paris, Mr. Sharett will confer with the Israeli Ambassadors to London and Washington. Mr. Sharett's flight Is believed Indicative of the seriousness with which he views the situation in tiie Middle East. In two major pronouncements last week, one in Knesset and the other before a UJA delegation, the Israeli Prenier made It unmistakably clear that if war breaks out In the Middle East blame will rest on the Soviet Union. Although nothing lias been divulged about the nature of the talks he is to hold In Geneva, Mr. Sharett will, it is bcllevod, seek to secure arms from the West to counter the Egyptian purchase of arms from Czechoslovakia as well as a defense treaty. Soviet penetration in the MiddTC Kast through the sale of arms to the Arab countries will be discussed by the Western foreign ministers with Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov, but according to a London report the Big Three are expected to turn down Israel's plea for enough arms to balance Communist shipments to Egypt. While Soviet ships were unloading with arms in Alexandria, the Moscow radio termed as "a com-. plete Invention" a report that the Soviet Union had offered to tell arms to Israel.

The American Jewish Committee, at its national executive board meeting Sunday, urged the United States to take Immediate steps to prevent changes in the balance of arms between the Arab States and Israel pending security guarantees. It called for "Immediate" implementation of the Dulles proposals for Arab-Israel peace, warning that the Communist arms shipments "have drastically changed the timetable" and now ".nakc it Yale Gets Wise Award imperative to defeat the Intent of New York (JTA)—Dr. A.
