CLEVELAND, (ZINS) Dr. Abba Hillel Silver charged Secretary of State Dulles here with a do-nothing policy in the Middle East even though it was clear from the very outset that the Arabs have been tightening a ring of steel and fire around Israel, and yet our government did not supply Israel with defensive arms. Dr. Silver pointed out that President Eisenhower warned Israel after its proclaimed mobilization, but didn't issue such a warning to the Arab states after they signed aggressive pacts aimed against Israel. The U. S. government didn't take any practical steps when the Egyptian dictator Nasser seized the Suez Canal, Dr. Silver added, and flatly charged the Administration with responsibility for the present Arab-Israel conflict.
