Rep. Samuel E. Stratton, New York Democrat, today expressed concern in the House over United Arab Republic boycott and blockade tactics against Israel. He said many Congressmen shared his concern about Arab campaign being waged “against the independence and survival of Israel.”

W. Fulbright of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for siding with UAR President Nasser against Israel.
