feb. 19 President Eisenhower offered today to use part of the huge United States farm surpluses to relieve suffering in Western Europe caused by the worst winter in many years. Vacationing here under a warm sun that sent the temperature over 80 degrees, Mr. Eisenhower issued a formal statement expressing the American intention to aid Europeans who have suffered from unusual cold, heavy snows and in some areas floods. These winter-produced disasters have sharply reduced anticipated crop harvests in Europe, the White House noted.

1 "The I'nited States stands ready to make supplies of agricultural commodities which we have in abundance available for i relieving the distress of the people In these areas," Mr. Eisenhower said. FRANCE'S LOSS HEAVY "I have consulted with the Secretary of Agriculture, and while it is now too early to assess the damage realistically, both the present and the immediate future, there is every indication that there will be need for such supplies. It has been reported, for example, that France alone has lost about one-third of her current wheat crop." The President said he knew the American people would "deem it a real privilege to put these agricultural commodities to the great service of relieving the suffering of our Western European neighbors." Whether the food would be given, bartered or sold to the European countries in need has not yet been worked out, according to James C. Hagerty, White House press secretary He said this would be subject to future g.o i a i and discussions among officials of this government and between them and European leaders.

Al'THORITY ESTABLISHED The presidential statement noted that authority for making available the surplus commodities to persons in need already had been voted by Congress. Mr. Hagerty said the necessary legislative authority had been granted in the Agricultural Trade Development Act enacted by the 8Srd Congress. President Eisenhower said he had "observed with growing concern the reports that have come from Western European countries regarding the suffering and damage that has been caused by one of the worst winters in that area possibly the worst in the past two or three decades." "I want to extend my country's deepfelt and sincere concern for the suffering peoples in the afllicted areas," the President added. Because of heavy snow and flood damage in Italy, emv-gency aid and supplies already have been sent to that country, through both civilian and military agencies.

On the basis of mounting returns from Sunday's general elections, Ka ramanlis' National Radical Union was expected to elect 160 deputies in the KARAMANLIS 300-member parliament, compared wilh 140 for a coalition of Nationalist and Democratic forces who joined in an effort to defeat the premier. It was not regarded a strong-enough margin to guarantee a stable government.

The coalition was running ahead of the Karamanlis party in the popular vote, but not in the distribution of parliamentary seats. This was due to the complicated election Jaw governing the allotment of seats. The final outcome will be known after tabulation of the big-city vote, which best re? fleets the way seats will be apportioned. But Athens newspapers already were giving Karamanlis 1H0 seats, to HO for the coalition, on the basis of incomplete returns from more than a third of the precincts. Karamanlis retired early today without making a victory statement.

But friends said the premier apparently was satisfied he had won a majority. Votes and 156 to 159 parliamentary stats. The strange coalition known as the Democratic Union, unites-Nationalist and Communist forces who, barely five years ago, were fighting on the field of battle for control of the nation. The pro-Communist elements demand that Greece withdraw from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Three former premiers in the coalition all of them anti-Communist, do not go so far, and insist this strange union is one mainly of convenience.

The former premiers demand a review of Greece's foreign policy. In brief, most of Greece resents United States and British policy which denies union of the island of Cyprus with Greece. Premier Karamanlis, while piantcd firmly with the West, likewise has announced he is determined to "further the interest" in such issues as Cyprus. A spokesman for the government predicted early this morning that Karamanlis' party would gain a majority on the basis of returns so far probably 155 seats. It had 214 seats in the last parliament.

The first trend reported had favored his National Radical Un- rf ion, even in the normally Leftist stronghold of Salonika, Greece's northern capital. To Explain Flow Of Weapons To Arabs Secretary To Be Greeted By Rumblings When He Returns Wednesday ICmjrHht. 1BSS. Tlmfi Col WASHINGTON, feb. 19 State Department officials gave consideration today to the sale soon of at least part of the major weapons Israel requested three months ago.

No decision has been reached yet, primarily becaune of reported differences within the Department on the issue, but the possibility of some arms sale to the Israeli government Is evpected to be placed before Secretary of State John foster Dulles this week. The Secretary is to return Wednesday from a fishing trip to the Caribbean area. He will be greeted not only by rumblings resulting from the sale of 18 tanks to the Saudi Arabian government, but by a request from the Senate foreign Relations Committee to explain the whole enisode. Sen. Waltor F.

deorge, committee chairman, said the group still wanted to learn the "full facts" on the tank shipment that had been delayed early Friday morning when President Eisenhower ordered an embargo on arms shipments to the Middle East. (Loral Comment, Payc 11) Mr. Dulles and Vndcrsecre-tary Herbert Hoover Jr. are expected to appear in closed session either Thursday or Friday. The embargo.

on Middle East arms shipments "was lifted yesterday, clearing the way for the delivery of 18 M-41 light tanks to Saudi Arabia and the sale to Israel of $110,000 worth of spare parts for airplanes, trucks and jeeps. Department officials had said yesterday that the lifting of the embargo, cleared with President Eisenhower by Mr. Hoover, had no bearing on the Israel request for permission to buy $50 million worth of jet interceptor planes and other major combat equipment. But officials agreed that the tank transaction would make It even more difficult to resist heavy pressures in this nation to sell Israel at least part of her request, pending since November 16. Israel has been seeking the weapons to offset Soviet-bloc shipments of fighters and bombers to Egypt.

"WE EXPECTED IT" The Saudi Arabian ambassador, Sheikh Abdullah Al-khayyal commented his government was extremely "pleased" that the arms embargo had been lifted, and added "we expected it." His government had the right to have the tanks for defense and training purposes, he said. He answered "of course" to a question of whether Saudi Ara bia would ask for weapons should the Israeli request for major weapons be approved. Protests from members of Congress against the tank sale Intensified meanwhile. Sen. Hubert Humphrey a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, said that in view of the shipment the Israeli request for arms now should he approved.

He accused the State Department of committing a "colossal blunder" in handling the transaction in a way that angered both thp Arab states and Israel. Rep. Emanuel Celler N. charged that "oil interests" were represented by Undersecretary Hoover, a mining engineer who, Mr. Celler said he believed, persuaded the President to lift the embargo on tanks for the oil-rich Arab nation.

Thirty of the ship's crew of SS earlier tonight signed a petition demanding a wartime bonus. One member of the group said the bonus demand was 75 per cent. WASHINGTON, Feb. 19 (UP) Israeli Ambassador Abba Eban said today the current one sided shipment of Communist Western arms to the Middle East can lead only to "war and disaster." Mr. Eban, bitterly protested the lifting of a short-1 iv Ameri-c a embargo on shipment of 18 tanks to Saudi Arabia.

F.BAX He said it could not be called a "general lifting" of an arms embargo because Israel was not receiving a "single item" that would strengthen Its security. Declaring that Israel's need for defensive arms is "desperately'' urgent, Mr. Eban appealed for approval of Israel's request for American arms. The ambassador was questioned on the CBS-TV "face The Nation" television program about Premier Gamel Abdel Nasser's charge in Cairo that Egypt expected Israel to open an offensive soon. "WILLING" TO PARLEY Mr.

Eban replied that bis nation was "willing to sit down with any Arab state" In an. effort to negotiate a peace settlement. He said peace would be nearer If Premier Nasser would make the same offer. "The current arms situation violates every principle of statesmanship and morality," Mr. Eban said.

He said he could not believe Israel's "great" friends would refuse his nation assistance in view of the "constant stream of lethal weapons pouring into the hands of the Arabs." Mr. Eban said talk of contributing to a "Middle Eastern arms race begins only when the Western powers are asked to "put something into Israel's hands." He said both Britain and the United States had sent military equipment to the Arab states. In New York 250 Zionist youths marched and chanted for nearly three hours on the Brooklyn pier where the 18 tanks for Saudi Arabia were being loaded aboard the freighter James Monroe. may you be as worthy if put to the test."
