Congress Moves
To Cut Aid From
Some Arab Nations
WASHINGON (UPI) —Con
gress moved today to cut off all
foreign aid to Arab countries
which broke relations with the
United States during the Middle
East crisis.
The House Foreign Affairs
Committee planned to write a
provision into the $3.2 billion
foreign aid bill requiring the
President to withhold about $lO
million earmarked for several
Arab nations no longer on
speaking terms with the United
States.
In addition to slamming the
door on antagonistic Arab
nations, the provision places

assistance.
Aid to the Arab nations could
be resumed if diplomatic
relations are restored, but this
would not be automatic. The
President would consider each
request on a country-by-country
basis.
If U.S. relations with the Arab
nations improve, President
Johnson could decide to resume
American aid if he found it in
the national interest.

NEW YORK (UPI)—It was a
scene right out of a Hollywood
spy thriller. In fact, It was a
spy movie being filmed on the
streets of New York.
But no one bothered to tell
patrolmen David Mahan and
Melvin Schwartz about it.
Actor James (“Our Man
Flint”) Coburn, in the midst of
filming his latest spy movie in
Greenwich Village Wednesday
night, was racing down McDou
gal street with two Chinese
agents and two movie cops in
hot pursuit.
The make-believe policemen
were screaming, "stop, stop.”
That’s when Mahan and
Schwartz stepped into the
picture. They grabbed Coburn.
While the first policeman
grabbed Coburn by the arm, the
other thrust his nightstick into
the 39-year-old actor’s face,
cutting him slightly and ruining
his makeup. He refused medical
attention.
A Paramount Pictures spokes
man said the filming would
probably be delayed a day while

Israel Army Proves Value
Os Combat-Ready Reserves
By RAY CROMLEY
Washington Correspondent
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
WASHINGTON (NEA)
The efficiency and quick-reaction ability of Israel’s army
raises doubts about some of Defense Secretary Robert Mc-
Namara’s military cost-effectiveness methods.
These doubts are especially pertinent at this time when
McNamara is again attempting to remodel the Army Reserves.
The Israeli army that performed so well against Egypt
was largely an army of reservists. Israel’s standing army was
only 80,000 men. The 200,000-man army that swept into
Egypt and Jordan was almost two-thirds citizen reservists.
120,000 of whom were mobilized from their civilian jobs and
in action in a few days.
These reservists thus served immediately as integral parts
of the Israeli combat forces and, in fact, formed the bulk of
the combat troops.
In the Israeli army there is no differentiation of status be
tween reserves and professional soldiers, reports one U.S.
Army officer with astonishment.
Israeli draftees are called in at age 18. Then, after 26
months of service, they go into the reserve where they have
31 days of active duty a year, plus an extra day a month for
special training or security duty. This goes on until age 39.
Then, from 40 until age 45, the reservists have 14 days of
active duty a year. Reserve officers have even more training.
Israel’s reserve officers, noncommissioned officers and en
listed men thus are technically and tactically up-to-date.
Their reserve training is intensive. Promotion standards
are rugged.
One U.S. officer reports “mobilization exercises are held
frequently and all units can be assembled, equipped and
moved out, ready for combat, in less than 48 hours.
“Equipment for each reserve unit is maintained in such a
state of readiness that the unit can perform its wartime
mission immediately upon assembly.”
Thus up to 250,000 men can be’mobilized, equipped and
ready for combat in a few days.
Pentagon plans call for some U.S. units to be ready for
field combat in weeks—some in months.
McNamara regards the reserves, even the technical and
specialized reserves, as a last resort.
Most reservists are sincere, conscientious men who want to
do a job. But more than half of McNamara’s Army reservists
are given neither the training nor the equipment to keep up
with their specialties. In fact, about half the Army reservists
aren’t even in units. They’re in a “pool” or in the Standby
Reserve.
Under McNamara’s newest Reserve revision plan, most
combat veterans likely will go into this pool, where their
military skills will gradually deteriorate. Most will not keep
up their military specialties. Few will keep up with technical
advances.
It is common talk in the Pentagon that a heavy chunk of
Reserve officers will not be called up in any expected crisis
if the Department of Defense can prevent it. The Defense
officials quote case after case of officers so out of date in
their knowledge that they would be of little use in war.
This is not fair to the loyal Reserve officers, noncommis
sioned officers, enlisted men or to the country. The case of
Israel shows that this need not be so.
Little Progress On
Compromise In U.N.
By BRUCE W. MUNN
United Press International
UNITED NATIONS (UPI) —
Attempts by smaller nations to
arrange a compromise between
the U.S. and Soviet proposals on
the Middle East crisis have
made little progress, diplomatic
sources said today.
Italy, Denmark and Afro-
Asian nations working on the
compromise reported the going
slow and extremely difficult.
The sources said the com
promisers faced a hardening in
both the American and Russian
positions.
The effort continued as the

Parkway Extension
To Kennesaw
Backed
WASHINGTON (UPl)—Five
federal agencies have reported
favorably on a proposed SB7-5
million extension of the Blue
Ridge Parkway from Beech
Gap, N. C., to Kennesaw Moun
tain National Battlefield Park
near Marietta, Ga., according
to the office of Rep. John W.
Davis, D-Ga.
Davis and Reps. Phil M. Lan
drum, D-Ga., and Roy A. Tay
lor, D-N.C., are jointly sponsor
ing a bill providing for the 180-
mile segment. Forty-three miles
would be in North Carolina and
. 137 in Georgia.
A spokesman for Davis said
the congressman hopes for
hearings before the House In
terior Committee in late July.
He said the Interior Depart
ment reported that the park
way, begun in 1939, leads all
other units of the national park
system in number of visitors.
Other agencies approving the
extension were the Agriculture,
Commerce and Transportation
departments and the Budget
Bureau.

bly emergency session on the
Arab-Israeli war went into its
fourth day of debate. French
President Charles de Gaulle’s
attack Wednesday on U.S.
policy in Vietnam and his
linking that with the Middle
East crisis was expected to be
expanded today when French
Foreign Minister Maurice Couve
de Murville addresses the 122-
nation body.
Other speakers listed for the
day included representatives of
Belgium, Pakistan, Mongolia,
Turkey and Ukraine.
Russia has demanded the
assembly pass a resolution
branding Israel as aggressor,
ordering withdrawal of Israeli
troops from occupied Arab
territory and telling Israel to
pay war damages. The U.S.
proposed resolution would brand
no one and would set up
guidelines for a peace
settlement of the Arab-Israeli
conflict.
Smaller Western nations were
reported working on a com
promise resolution that would
demand—as the Russians want
—withdrawal from Arab lands
of Israeli troops. But it would
not condemn Israel.

because, in their view, it would
carry on Israeli territorial
gains.
The compromise path was so
rocky that neutral nations,
trying to write a compromise
resolution, were reported having
trouble on getting anything
down on paper.
In debate Wednesday, British
Foreign Secretary George
Brown appealed for a more
powerful U.N. military force to
keep Middle East peace. He
also urged Israel to give up all
conquered territory, stressing
that threatened Israeli annexa
tion of the former Jordanian
sector of Jerusalem would
prejudice the U-N. Assembly
against the Jewish state.
Italian Premier Aldo Moro
endorsed Brown’s call for a
special U.N. representative to
bring peace to the Middle East.
Moro also said the world body
should provide the “first
meeting ground” between Israel
and the Arabs.
Foreign Minister M.C. Chagla
of India however demanded
Israel immediately withdraw
forces from captured Arab land.
He backed Soviet and Egyptian
charges Israel struck the firs*
blow—a charge De Gaulle in
Paris also supported.
