He said a direct meeting be tween Arab and Jewish repre sentatives was the only way to bring about a- general improve ment in Mid-East relations and renewed his proposal for a meet ing; with Egyptian Premier Ga mal Abdel Nasser and other Arab leaders. . ,. The white-haired premier said also that "without a balance of iorces between the Arab states and Israel it is difficult to be lieve there will be no outbreak of .war."

Jack Fitzgerald , TRANSFER & STORAGE CO. trii & Fir PhoiM 2-6273 Gen-Gurion received this cor respondent for the first inter view he had granted since U.N. Secretary General Dag Ham marskjold flew to the Middle East last month to try and pre vent war breaking out along the tense Gaza Strip. In an appraisal of the Kam marskjold mission Ben-Gurion said he hoped the "visit has been useful since he brought about, at least for the time being, a cease fire on the part of Egypt and also perhaps on the part of Jordan." . But Ben-Gurion charged that Arab attacks across the Israeli border since the forging of the cease fire "aroused doubt in either the willingness or the ca pacity of the Egyptian dictator to maintain order in the Gaza Strip." The premier said such inci dents as the blowing up of a house on the Isareli side of the Jordan border Sunday "raised skepticism as to the insecurity of the Jordanian forces." Ben-Gurion said he was "afraid . . .. that the basic dan ger of war still exists." Cites Balance of Forces "Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia and possibly also Jordan con tinue their fervent preparations to attack Israel, and Soviet arms are now flowing also to Syria," he said. "There is no sign what ever that any of these states Leon McDougail Elected 'Joe College 'at SOC Leon (Punky) McDougail, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. A.

"Without a balance of forces between Israel and the Arab states it is difficult to believe there will be no outbreak of war." Asked if the United Nations could do more to bring peace if the balance of power were re stored, Ben-Gurion said: "Bal ance of forces alone will prevent war, but it will -not restore peace." Ben-Gurion said the first step the United Nations should take toward the establishment of peace is to secure full implemen tation c.f the armistice agree ments of 1949.

MnMipaHiii 'Grass Roots' Drive Said Needed To Send Ike Back To Capital San Francisco (U.R) Gover nors Goodwin J. Knight of Cali fornia and Robert E. Smylie of Idaho told Republican leaders yesterday, they must launch a "mammoth grass roots cam paign" to return President Eis enhower to the White House for another term. "Reviving the enthusiasm of four years ago," Knight said, "will require renewed effort and experienced organizational ability.' "Since the record - breaking balloting of 1952, a spirit of lethargy has overcome our vot ing population, -and this wide spread lack of interest must, be changed to one of' positive con cern for the maintenance of the Eisenhower administration." Conference Addreiied " The two Republican state executives addressed a regional "Citizens for Eisenhower" con ference attended by party lead ers from the seven Western States. Knight spoke at a closed business meeting attended by 65 persons and Smylie addressed 100 delegates at a luncheon. Smylie said the GOP must make an "even greater effort" to get out the independent vote this year than it did in 1952. "We must be shoeleather poli ticians this year," Smylie said. "We must ring the door bells and tell the story. Complacency can be our biggest enemy in 1956." "We will win if, from this moment, we go to work to build a crusading organization of in spired and determined- men and women; determined to interpret and sell American principles and the Eisenhower program of dy namic conservatism to all the people." Idaho Vote Promised The Idaho governor promised his audience that his state will "deliver a greater vote for Mr. Eisenhower this year than it did in 1952." At a special election held dur ing the business meeting, the delegates elected William M. Brinton, San Francisco attorney, chairman of the groups' North ern California section.
