Close contact is being maintained here between the Israel Embassy and the State Department on the rapidly moving Middle East situation. The arrival of Ambassador Eban from Israel is expected tonight or tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Representative P. Morano, Connecticut Republican, announced yesterday that he had asked President Eisenhower to authorize the transfer of modern arms to Israel. If inclusion of Israel among the nations receiving such armaments involves a delay, the Congressmen wrote the President, Israel should be permitted to buy weapons on the open market.
