WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington U.R The pres idential candidates were looking down the barrel of a loaded poli tical problem today with the election almost upon them. Violence i n the Middle East, many t h ousands of miles from the A m e r i can grass roots, has put politicians on a campaign hot spot. Jewish and Arab armed forces were engaged in Egyptian soil today by instant reason of Mon day's Israeli move against Egypt. That distant incident could spread and lead to World War III or in lesser impact, it could bear directly on the outcome of the U. S. presidential election by vitalizing suddenly urgent and angry issues. Demands that the United States aid Israel in its years long armaments race with Arab neighbors has been a substantial eubsurface factor in American politics. Large Jewish Vote From large urban areas In large states with large electoral -ote quotas there has been de mand for such aid. The Jewish population of the United States is large, an estimated 5.5 million, and strategically concentrated with approximately half the tqtal living in Nw York. Its ties with the battling Israeli nation would indicate an emotionally grateful payoff to any responsible words of action furthering the Israeli cause in the Middle East. The United States is committed with France and Great Britain to act within or without the United Nations to oppose ag gression in the Middle East. Through James C. Hagerty, his press secretary, Mr. Eisenhower Few Rifle Shots Touched Off Cafile Jerusalem (I. K Ti c bat' V: which touched i ff the full scale push by Israeli troops into Ek"lh began Monday ,v!i, a tew title shots, an Israeli spksman said Tuesday. He said an Israeli f.iii.'si on the lookout for intruder froi"; Egypt came across - j: ..ap of shadowy figurps muv.iit ' iietly through the darkner i.rc the Gaza Strip. The Israelir rhal lenged the band, which immedi ately opened fire. In the short, sharp clash that folowed, two of the Fedayeen commandos fell wounded and two others surrendered. Blood stains indicated that several oth er wounded Egyptians escaped. The Israeli soldiers confis cated arms, including a German made submachine- gun, and a large amount of ammunition and explosives, the Israeli source said. said Monday night after a White House policy huddle: "We shall honor our pledge." The U. N. Security Council was being asked today by the United States to consider the Middle East situation and, spec ifically to determine whether Israel was guilty of aggression. If tne verdict is guilty, it will be Mr. Eisenhower's next move. He is committed to constitu tional processes in any use of U. S. Armed forces. There al ready is speculation here that the President may shortly sum mon a special session of Con gress to authorize the use of Sorce against Middle East ag ; session. Political Dynamite - 3o far there is no indication ' thut the administration hopes or ! mends to appease U. S. Jewish j voters if Israeli is formally j charged with aggression and re ) fuses to cease fire. How the mil lions of American Jews would react on election day to armed U. S. intervention in the Middle East, however, is a matter which will concern politicians of all parties. The reaction could be a block buster, affecting not only the election but the delicate balance of minority relations in the United States. It already is be ing suggested that a firmer U.S. policy in the Middle East dur ing the past four to six years would have prevented Monday's flash heard around the world shortly after 11 a. m. PST from Jerusalem: "Israel has invaded Egypt!"
