- WASHINGTON USecretary of
State Dulles said today there have
been reliable reports that Russia
has offered arms to some cuatrie
in the Middle East.
, Such an acuon by Russia—the
supplying of arms to nations in a
I troubled area—would not contri-
, bute to the relaxing of world ten-
sloes. Dulles said.
The secretary made clear to a
; news conference that be had no
: official information on the reported
i Russian offers of arms.
Reports of the offers have cir-
culated for several weeks in dip-
lomatic quarters here.
Dulles declined to name any
country as the target of the So-
viet offers.
But he responded to question
about whether he knew of offers
to Egypt or other states in the
Middle East, and said simply that
there are indications that such of-
fers may have been made.
Dulles said there was no
sisters, Mrs. May Riley and Mrs.

two half-sisters, Mrs. Tom

French Airman Is

Soldier’s Luggage
PARIS G — French airman
Jea Louis Tournier was held in
jil today, charged with stealing
luggage from fiveVs.seidiers.
Police said he wanted revenge-
not profit—because a thief had
. stolen his own bags in New York.
Tournier trained at a camp at
* Amarillo, Tex., and speaks Eng-
lish fluently. Police said he went
about his vengence in this man-
ner:
. He struck up conversation with
U.S. soldiers holidaying in Paris.
During the talk he would ob-
serve, “You know, in France we
consider the numbers between 1
and 10 or another set of figures
unlucky."
The GIs often would reply,
“Why, my hotel room is number
such-and-such," naming one of
2 the series Tournier had mention-
ed.
Tournier would then telephone
the hotel, pose as the American,
"and say a French airman was
going to pick up his luggage.
Once he had collected the bags,
he dumped them into the Seine.

The room also contained several
