Opln By ROBERT E. SEGAL These past few days, the big news about the Middle East is not what is actually happening in that tinder, box of an area but what is happening in America to that nebulous something often referred to as "the Climate of Opinion" about the Middle East. Yesterday, the question was: "How goes the battle for the procurement of armaments and for strengthen-, ing defenses on both sides of the Israel-Arab States line?" Today, the question is "What has happened suddenly to editorial expressions and reportorial accounts about the Middle East?" The people read Life and rub their eyes. Life cries: "Israel Is Here To Stay" and adds: "Unless the Arabs accept this, there can be no peace." This is an editorial that lays it on the barrelhead in the old-fashioned way. "The time has come for friends of the Arabs to tell them . . . something they seem unable to understand . . . The American people, who' helped create Israel, who were the first to recognize her, and who hold warm feelings of friend- ship for her, are going to see to it that she stays ...

Khrushchev made these charges in a recent address attacking the Stalin myth at the Communist Con- gress in Moscow. The fiery Communist boss also charged Stalin with deliberately or- dering the murder of two promin- ent Jewish generals of the Red Army, Gen. A. Yakir and Gen. Jan Gamarnik. The latter was a brother- in-law of the late Chaim Nachman Bialik, Jewish national poet. The Soviet party chief stated that Stalin was personally responsible for the mass executions of Soviet army and navy officers and industrial man- agers. He declared that Josef Stalin had attempted to blow up the "Jew- ish doctors" anti-Semitic plot to major proportions in order to move against Nicolai Bulganin, the present Premier, Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov and other highly placed Soviet officials. After Stalin's death and Lavrenti Beria's execution by the present leaders of the USSR, it was announc- ed that the "doctors' plot" had been concocted by officials in Mr. Beria's Ministry of State Security. The doctors, most of whom were Jews, were released at the same time that the government publicly announced their vindication. Bernard Landers, is chairman of the affair.

Three shipments worth about $165,- 000 have been released to Israel and two others are still under advise- ment, the Prime Minister revealed. This action, taken by the Cabinet, follows the release a fortnight ago of 12 Harvard trainer planes for Egypt. Political observers here consider the approval of the Israel ship- ments as extremely significant in view of the Canadian Govern- ment's earlier announcement that it was coordinating its arms supply policy on the Middle East with that of Washington and London. The Canadian Premier said that the three arms applications released for shipment were: spare parts for Sherman tanks, worth more than $136,000; less than 2,000 rounds of 25-pound artillery ammunition worth $30,000 and 40 electronic devises, worth about $1,250. He said the shipments were Hie remainder of a $565,000 order placed in 1954. The other items had been delivered. If and when a decision is made on the two new Israeli applications currently under consideration by the Cabinet, "an immediate announce- ment will be made," the Prime Min- ister pledged.
