Mrs. Meier also suggested the problem might be solved by:

2. A decision by the United Na- tions that it would maintain UN Emergency Forces along the Aq- aba Gulf until freedom of naviga- tion is certain.

3. A "peace treaty" between Ia- rael and Egypt.

MEMO MADE PUBLIC

Both Eisenhower and the state department made public the text of a memo which Dulles gavl Eban last Monday. This set forth Dulles' two-part plan for Israeli withdrawal. .

The memo called for Israelis "prompt and unconditional" with- drawal. In exchange, it prom-
