Israel To Get Arms If Stevenson Wins, Says Col. Arvey TEL AVIV—The Jerusalem Post quoted Jacob Arvey, one of the top leaders in the Democratic party, to the effect that if Stevenson wins in November, Israel will get defensive arms. Col. Arvey told a press conference here that he had first been drawn to Stevenson when he heard him make a brilliant speech in favor of the Jewish home-

land. AEVEY SAID Stevenson supported Israel’s claim for arms and opposed territorial changes except by mutual agreement. “He will make a better President than a candidate,” Arvey said, predicting his nominee will win in November. Accompanying Col. Arvey on his two-week visit in Israel was Judge Henry L. Burman, who told the reporters that Stevenson’s running mate, Senator Estes Kefauver, was “one of the most outspoken men for Israel in the United States.” COL. ARVEY said that the Democratic Party will not make Israel an issue in the election, although some Democratic spokesmen in some parts of the country will no doubt point out the difference between the two parties in their approach to Israel. Arvey said Stevenson’s impression after his visit here of three years ago was that some Israel officials were then a “little stubborn” in their approach to peace negotiations with the Arab states.”

STEVENSON EVADES REPLY ON ARMS FOR ISRAEL NOW By LILLIAN LEVY National Jewish POST Correspondent WASHINGTON, D.C.—At Stevenson’s first Washington press conference of this campaign, the question of arms for Israel was raised by this reporter.
