“America’s current whirling dervish policy in the Middle East must go,” Senator Wayne Morse, of Oregon, told foreign policy exports, legislators and civic leaders gathered here this week-end at an “Emergency Conference to Propose a United States Policy for Palestine and the Middle East.”
Senator Dennis Caver, of New Mexico, said that he would oppose the sending of any American troops to keep order in Palestine. He expressed concern lest the killing of any American soldiers in Palestine “would place a dangerous weapon at the disposal of all the anti-Semi tea in America.”
