(AP Wlrephoto) Contract Disputes Delay Ending Of Costly Pier Tieup NEW YORK Forty-five thousand striking dockworkers from Maine to Virginia remained idle today as disputes over contracts tn Baltimore and Norfolk prevented a general back-to-work movement. Union spokesmen were unable to predict an end to the costly pier tieup, now in seventh day.

The port-to-port situation was confused. William V. Bradley, president of the International appeared determined to withhold any general work resumption until contract agree- Dogs Not Needed Now, Army Says WASHINGTON The same Army officials who tried unsuccessfully to motorize military funerals have now decided to try to dispose of the Army's dogs. The Army mule and the Army carrier pigeon already have been abandoned in the modernization process. The need for economy is being given as the reason for demobilizing the Army's 950 dogs, now doing scout and sentry duty at home and abroad.

In addition to training and maintaining its own dogs, the Army at Ft. Carson, trains about 50 dogs each month for the Air Force. The Air Force says it is cheaper and more to use dogs in patrolling key air bases and bomb dumps. Some Army officials say Army has little use for dogs in peacetime, and suggest the Air Forcc can train its own. Weather Ostt kj wcatiicr Bureau.

Parolee Killed In Gunfight Near Briggs Stadium Peace Efforts In Middle East Double Dilemma 1 JAMES MARLOW Aaaociatcd Press News Analyst WASHINGTON The American efforts to get some peace and quiet in the Middle East are proceeding like a man walking down a freshly tarred street on a hot day. Every time he takes a step, stuck. Egyptian President Nasser is the biggest problem in the Middle East. But Israel is a problem too.

Nasser be tackled until there is some solution in Israel. The Israeli problem shows no sign of being cleared up soon. But when it is, if it is. the United States and the United Nations will probably have their hands full with Nasser. Mean- while, Nasser, keeping his mouth I shut, can sit back and enjoy watching the world sweat over Israel.

Change In Soviet Policies Denied MOULTRIE. Ga Eisenhower took off from Spence Air Force Base at 11:41 am. EST. today for Washington, apparently greatly refreshed by his vacation at nearby Thomasville. Ga The presidential plane was ex- to reach the capital by 2 30 p.m.

THOMASV11J Ga. OH -President Eisenhower was returning to Washington today to deal at closer range in new conferences with the tough problem of getting Israeli troops out of disputed territory. Reportedly much concerned about the Mideast stalemate, the President decided late Monday to cut short his south Georgia vacation and return to the capital. He had planned until then, the White House said, to stay on here until Friday. The President set up a White House conference with Secretary of State Dulles as the first order of business on his return.

TTiey planned a fresh evaluation of the Mideast situation. Wednesday morning Eisenhower will meet with Democratic and Republican congressional leaders for a full scale review of the entire Middle East picture and quite likely to give them a preview of what the next moves will be. Debate On Sanctions Against Israel Again Postponed In The U.N. UNITED NATIONS, NY With a General Assembly showdown on against Israel again postponed, U.S. representatives at the U.N.

pressed intensive efforts to find a solution to the Middle East deadlock. Rapidly moving events centering on the Israeli-Egyptian dispute brought the successful U.S. move for putting off the Assembly debate until Thursday. It had been scheduled to resume today. Linked with the U.S.

move to delay Assembly action were: 1. The desire to give Israel more time to reconsider its stand against pulling its troops out of territory formerly controlled by Egypt. 2. Israeli Ambassador Abba hurried trip to Jerusalem today for consultations with his government. 3.

President Eisenhower's dec! sion to cut his Georgia vaca tlon and return to Washington for conferences on the problem. 4. Mounting U. S. congressional pressure against the move to invoke sanctions against Israel.

Sources close to the U. S. delegation said the Americans wanted a chance to reappraise their position, but it was not clear what stanc the United States intends to take if Israel continues to refuse to get its troops out of the Gaza Strip and Egyptian territory along the Gulf of Aqaba coast. The move for sanctions against Israel is led by the 27-nation Asian-African natifm group, declares that anything other than immediate and complete withdrawal of Israeli troops would reward aggression. The Asian-African nations had called a meeting Monday night to draw up a resolution demanding sanctions, but they called it off when it was learned the Assembly session had been postponed.
