ISRAEL HOLDS UP WITHDRAWAL

UNITED NATIONS. N.Y. (CP) Israel's decision to hold up the withdrawal of hcr forces from the Gaza Strip and the Gulf of Aqnba area caused renewed fears here Sunday night over the future in the Middle East.

Hopes were high Friday night. following lsrael's announcement in the General Assembly that she was ready to carry out the with- drawal as ordered by the UN. that the movement would at least be started during the eekend. The assembly is due to reconvene this afternoon to hear a report on the withdrawal.

But on the eve of this meeting the deadlock appeared unbroken. Premier David Ban-Gurloifa Jer- llsalem government announced Saturday that thewitlidrawal was Mill 'lield up pending further talks with the United States seek- lnll "clarification" of the Amer-l. can stand on Iarul'a offer.

Renewed Fears Raised Over Mideast's Future

gency" by Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold of the UN to dis- cuss movement of the force into the positions vacated by the Is- raells.

Burns' force stood by all week- end ready to take over in Gaza and the Sbarm-cl-Shelkh area on the Gulf of Aqnba. But there was and the Sharm-el-Sheikh area on no sign as late as Sunday night that the Israelis were even pre- perlns to move out.

What caused this new holdup- and what its effect will be on the future of the troubled area-was the subject of intense speculation at. the UN. Two main reasons for the continued delay were ad- raced: tllhtbat Ben - Gurlon's

vernrnent in a inky. podtton and might fall if its troops-march back into their own country: 42) that Ben-Gurlon is dubious about the support he can eypcct from the U.S.

DENY SECRET DEALS American officials hotly denied that any secret deals had been made and when Henry Cabot Lodge. the chief U.S. delegate-. spoke in the UN Friday imme- diately after Israel's speech by Foreign Minister Golda Meir. he referred only to action by the UN in replacing the Israelis. He ex- pressed hope - but offered no promises-in his speech that the UN'a work "would usefully con. tinue until there is a definite settle-

Whether this letter would aid Ben-Gurlon in his cabinet crisis at home remained to be seen. The left-wing Herut party. major op- position to Ben-Gurion's coalition. has been agitating for a general election with the withdrawal as the issue. and has been attempting to line up support In the cabinet from parties other than Ben-Gur- ion's moderate socialist Mapal party.

This internal dissenslon was re- garded here as the priinala cause of the continued holdup. e feel- ing Sunday night was that if Ben- Gurlon considers that he can re- tain control of the ” of he will announce the beginning of the withdrawal today before the aft- ernoon meetiamopenl at the UN.

The Arab stood "Id! to press In the assembly withiits ree- olutlon ca Iling for sanctions against Israel if Ben-Gurion's an- nounccment is regarded by them as unfavorable. And if this should prove to be the case the UN would once again be back where It startcd on the crisis.

Egypt during the weekend threw even more uncertainty on the fu ture solution by reviving the old fears that Egypt might not allow the UN Emergency Force to stay in the Gaza Strip. Foreign Min- ister Mahmoud Fawzl. speaking in the assembly Friday. did not raise this possibility. But Saturday night an Egyptian delegation spokesman told reporters that Egypt should be enabled to return soon to Gaza. On the Aqaba question. he said Egypt still considered the Straits of Tiran at the entrance to the gulf as her own territorial waters.

Thus he brought into question the two "assumptions" made by Israel when she made her state- ment in the assembly. Mrs. Meir said Israel had based her decision to withdraw on the assumptions that the UN would take over civil as well as military control in Gasa pending a peace settlement of a definite agreement: and tint the UN force should stay at the en- trance of the straits until further

the majority of them are in jail. Our new militia would hit them without mercy and annihilate all of them."

Nepszabadsag warned that Com- munist summary courts, which have been sentencing hundreds of anti-Communists to death and im- rlsonment. would continue to ap- erate until all resistance is crushed.

SAYS LAW RESTORED Nepszabadsag cautioned, how-

. ever. that overzealous police and

courts should not "misuse the policy of the hard flat to violate legality." It said dtnstlnctlon should be made between "con- scious counter-revolutionaries and counter-revolui ice who were merely led astray."

it claimed law and order have been restored in Hungary and as- serted that 200,000 Hungarians have joined the new Communist party-called the Socialist Work- ers party-headed by Premier Janos Kadar. This is only about a fourth of the membership of the old Communist party. which virtu- ally disintegrated in the revolu- tion.

Meanwhile. Communist border controls have become so tight that Saturday night not a single Hun- garian refugee was able to reach Australa. ,

But Hungarian President Istvan Dobi said in a broadcast there is still a "counter - revolutionary" danger" in Hungary. This is so. he clalrned, because of continued Western agitation. He said police still uncover sporadic "counter- revolutlonary movements" find hidden weapons.

British Capture EOKA Leaders

security forces cornered EOKA's second in command in a cave in central Cyprus Sunday and killed him in an eight-hour gun battle. Four EOKA gunmen. two of them

was slain in the fight.

EOKA. led by former Greek army Col. George Grivas who calls himself Dighenls. is the un- dcrground fighting arm of the Cyp- riot organization which demands union of this British colony with Greece.

Grivas' second in command, slain Sunday, was Gregoris Afxen- tlou. 27.

A shepherd led two platoons of British troops to his hideout in the Troodos Mountains at dawn. The soldiers called on men in the cave to surrender and four emerged. The British sent one of them back in to get the fifth. Afxentiou. He refused to come out and the cour- ier also remained so the British threw a grenade into the cave and the gun fight began.

It ended eight hours later when the British set fire to underbrusb at the cave's mouth and smoked the survivor out. Afxentiou, also a former Greek army officer, lay dead inside.

Speed In Israel

WASHINGTON (AP) - Pres- ident Eisenhower told lsrael's premier in a new letter Saturday night he hopes for "utmost speed" in Israel's Sinai withdrawal and endorses the idea of turning over a new leaf in Arab-Israeli affairs. The letter dispatched to Pre- mier David Ben-Gurlon was made public by the White House after an urgent talk between state See- retary Dulles and Israeli Ambas- sador Abba Eban. A previous let- ter never has been made public. Eisenhower. obviously seeking to end Israel's delay in carrying out announced plans to withdraw. wrote:

"I was indeed deeply gratified at the decision of your govern- ment to withdraw promptly and fully behind the armistice lines . . . I venture to express the hope that the carrying out of these withdrawals will go forward with the utmost speed."

He then sought to reassure Is- raelis that the United States stood flrrnly behind its assurances that Israel would not be hit by Arab border raiders or blockadcd.

Dulles' statement to nine Arab envoys--that "no promises or con- cessldns" were made to Israel- also caused Israeli officials to catch their breath. It was obvious they considered what they called "assumptions" in amount to promises.

These assumptions. bascd heav- ily on President Eisenhower's Feb. 20 radio-television speech. primarily were that (1) UN forces would take over Gaza and Sherm- el-Shelkh until things got quieter. and (2) the United States and other nations would assure free passage in the Gulf of Aqaba. whose entrance ll controlled by the guns of Sharm-el-Shelkh.

Lodge. in the Israeli view. fell short of assurances that Gaza. once a base for Arab guerilla raiders. would be held indefinitely by UN forces. Lodge's "In the first instance" sounded to the Is- raelis like just long enough to hand Gaza control over to Egypt on the heels of Israeli withdrawal.

EDMONTON ICP)-Chief John Samson of the Hobbema reserve's Cree Indians says he would like to scalp Cltlzenships Minister Pick- ersgill.
