Fulbright Praises Israel's Progress; Opinion Unchanged
TElL AVIV, (JTA) — Senator J. W. Fulbright, chairman ot tho Senate Foreign Relations C3ommltee, left for Paris after a SB-hour visit during wlidch he was obviously Impressed by Israel's achieve¬ ments. Political sources here Indicated, however, that the visit ap¬ parently had not changed the Senator's public position about the Israel.Arab conflict.
The Arkansas Democrat said In an Interview that his toUr had convinced   him   that   the   refugee
State Department In Spot Like Israel's Following Sinai
BY MOTON FRIEDMAN

WASHINGTON ~ The State Department, caught with Its U-2 down, finds itself In much the same situation as Israel after the Slnal cam¬ paign.
Israel then maintained that the Slnal affair should nob be judged by Itself but In the context of a wide background of Arab aggression, sabo¬ tage, espionage, and other abuses. Today the State Department feels that the U-2 fiasco should not be evaluated alone but as part of a necessary pattern of legitimate defensive re¬ sponse. State Department speechwrlters might do weU to Search their files for Israel's state¬ ments of 1956 at the United Nations and in Washington.
THE UNITED Arab RepubUc has forgotten how It was rescued by Washington In 1966. In the collapse of the summit conference, the UAR blatantly took the Soviet side. Khrushchev be¬ came CJairo's hero. Photos of the U-2 plane were displayed throughout the UAR as "proof" of American "aggression and imperialism."
Despite the Administration's many recent attempts to appease the UAR, Nasser's press and radio heaped abuse on America.
Even the presence in (3alro of CJhairman B\il- brlght of the Senate Foreign Relations Commit¬ tee failed to deter the Arabs. Sen. Fulbright went so far in (^Iro aa to rail against alleged pres¬ sures on the American: <3ovemment by his fel¬ low Americans of another religious faith. This from an American Senator In a foreign land that has Just suppressed "The Diary of Anne Frank!"
AMERICAN appeasement attempts were In¬ terpreted by the Arabs as signs of weakness. The Administration In Washington' lost face even more when President Elsenhower himself termed a Senate amendment against Arab blockade tac¬ tics "regrettable."
The State Department considered anti-Arab picketing in New York harbor "embarras^ng" to American foreign relations. But the same State Department remained silent when Lincoln Rock¬ well's neo-Nazis, wearing swastikas, and scores of Arabs, carrying hateful placards, picketed Israel   Premier   Ben-Gurlon.   This   occurred   on
Ben-Gurion's recent Washington visit. The Har¬ vard-bred State Department boys found the anti- Israel picketing dreadfully amusing.
While Ben-Gurion conferred In the White House with .Mr. Eisenhower, Nazis and Arabs marched outside In a picket line. The State De¬ partment apparently did not find this "embar¬ rassing" to America's foreign relations.
WHEN KHRUSHCHEV visited Washington, the State Deptirtment saw to it that police swiftly squelched pickets, who might embarrass the Soviet guest. It was permissible, however, to wear swastikas in front of Ben-Gurion.
The failure of the summit may bring Increased East-West tension with renewed efforts In Uie Middle East of both major powers to curry Araib favor. Will this be at Israel's expense? Israel hopes that America will finally Implement Its professed desire for coUectlve security. WIU Washington ever admit that Israel, surrounded by pro^Soviet Arabs, is worthy of some kind of NATO-like status?
Wiii pro-Western Israel remain ignored while Washington continues pursuit ot Ulusory Arab friendship?
KHRUSHCHEV IS expediting his drive to penetrate the Arab world and Africa. He Is al¬ ready scheduled to visit the dark continent. There is no doubt but that the Soviet Union haa been using the UAR throughout Africa as Its ad¬ vance agent.
Israel remains a strategic focal point. Unking Asia and Africa—separating Nasser from the Near East.
Ben-Gurion's main purpose here was to se- cure a reduction In the regional arms race and a lessening of Arab-Israel tension. The flow of Soviet arms to the Arabs will increase In the wake of the summit coUapse. There Is no sign whatever that the United States wlU budge from its refusal to provide balancing arms to Israel.
A NEW PERIOD of danger is Indicated for. Israel. Yet there remains the posslbUity that, recognition may ftaaUy come of Israel's value as a trustworthy friend of the Weat.
There may be references to "brave Uttle Is¬ rael" reminiscent of "brave little Finland" of other days. If such recognition is to come, let It not be too little, too late.

SENATOR FULBRIGHT voic¬ ed enthusiastid praise for Israel's resettlement and development projects declaring such projeots "can,be—already are—a model to other countries.
The Senator made that state¬ ment to an audience of Hebrew University professors and other guests when he visited the Uni¬ versity after spending a day tour¬ ing Israel by automobile and heU- copter. He had just returned from the LachlsH area, where Israel is implementing one ot Its most ambitious regional development schemes.
During his tour, he also visited Kahnanla, where a second group of 100 Burmese ex-servioeiuen had just begun a year's training In agricultural wort "Other peo¬ ple will leam from Israel's ex¬ periences," Fulbright told his Hebrew University audience, "I like to think that our country lias made some contribution to this work In Israel."
