Ford fearful of stalemate in Middle East drift toward war
United Press International reports Israeli Defense Minister Shimon Peres warns Arab nations are arming while President Ford cautions of a drift toward war in the Middle East. Ford says any renewed fighting could trigger a severe oil embargo and a more deadly conflict than 1973. Peres notes two trends: a push for peace in some Arab countries and a massive Arab arms buildup, with Israel ready to withdraw troops from Abu Rudeis if an interim Egypt accord is reached.
