NEW YORK (Ar>-Slatc Secretary Dulles arrived here by military plane from Washington Sunday to outline to United Nations officials the now U.S. economic military plan for blocking any -Soviet imperialism in thc Middle Ea.st. Dulles, wbo will return b jiin President Eisenhower nt Ibe While Houpp Tuesday in lay in a tv" plan before congrcssi-vetl leaders, will eon fcr wilh DN Secretary - general Dag Hammnr- sk,icld today. On his arrival at noon, Dulles declined to comment on his mission. As explained to Washington newspaper non, the plan would call foy cither a congrcsicnal resolution or a White House policy ] declaration concurred in by ccm- ' gress, lu main parts: 1 TWO MAIN POINTS ■; 1. Specific standby authority '. »r ; Eisenhower to use U. S. troops I i l'o tliouglit this necessary to fieht I Soviet aggression . in lhc Middle ! East. 2. A Iw[i-year program of ec<m- to mi? aid totalling more than S4IX j 000,000, available lo any Middle ; Ea!*t country from the Strait* ,;f ; Gibraltar to the Arabian sea. i Dulles is espeet-otl to make elcir i Id Hammarskjold that this U. S. | plan is directed exclusively I against Soviet attack or subver- ; sion. He is understood to be ready ; In emphasize lhat it is n:jt in j landed to undercut United Nations ! efforts 1o achieve peace in 'ho I Middle East and reopen the S-j-v, Canal. Tho American aim is to blorrk any expansion by Russia into lh? region, The United Nations would still have the primary task of arranging' a peace settlement between Ihc Arab countries and Israel and acting as continuing guardian for peace between the countries in the area, with V. S. -suiiport in' this role. The overriding idea. Dulles is expected to toll Ilammarskjnkl, is thai the UN cannot c^al wilh S;j-.. let intrusion into the Middle Ed."I because of Russia's veto power :n thc Security Council. The United States is economically and militarily strong enough to step into lhe vacuum rr;zted by tlie dimin- tshment of i'ntish and Frencli :n- nuencc and prestige in the area. Subject To Congress Approval Rv JOHN scam WASHINGTON (AP) - Tlu- Eisenhower administrationwas '*e- porltd ready Sunday lo unveil h special two-year Middle East aid program totalling more than S40V 000.000, Officials said thc program, sub ject to approval of Congress, would be anchored on a pledge lo fight if necessu-y to slop "Russian aggression in the area.
