Middle East Crisis Cast Shadows Over Air Bases Of U. S. In Mediterranean By ROGER GREENE WASHINGTON <APi ? Amer ica's stake in the ominous strug gle for tilt Middle East is bigger and more vital than appears at first glanco. Fabulous deposits of oil and the Suez Canal are the obvious prizes Both of therh loom with enormous magnitude. American investors have hun dreds of millions of dollars in volved in such oil-rich Arab states as Saudi Arabia and Kuwaiti. Brit ain regards the Suez Canal as an indispensable lifeline to her em pire. Other nations also have a par amount interest in ketping the canal open to shipping at all times without depending upon the whim* of Egyptian Premier Nasser. Vital Bases But to American military author ities: the critical problems of Arabi^^^oil and unrestricted j transl^B-iiugh the Suez are ri valled^^iot surpassed by the po tential threat to this country's out-1 er perimeter of defenses against j Soviet Russia. At the moment, the threat is most acute in the Middle East. It could spread to other quarters of the globe. Fed by Egypt's open defiance of the Western Powers, the flames of anti - Western Arab nationalism have been whipped to new heights I of fury during the Suez crisis. The result, as viewed by Pen tagon officials, has been an upsurge of uncertainty as to "the future of U.S. air bases in the North African trouble zone. American bases in French Mo rocco and Libya, built on a "crash" basis at a cost running into scores of millions of dollars, depend for their existence?to a large degree ?on the temper of the Arab world whose land they occupy. Delicate Problem If the United States sided with France, fo rexample, in the dis pute with Egypt over the Suez Canal. Moroccans embittered by French "colonialism" would obvi ously be hostile to the continued presence of U. S. air bases in that Arab land. Therein, according to diplomatic authorities, lies one of the behind the-scenes reasons for this coun try's extremely delicate maneuver ing in the East vs. West flareup in the Middle East. Major U. S. air bases in the Mediterranean area include four in French Morocco?at Benguerir. Nouasseur, Sidi SIimane and Boul haut ? and one in Tripoli, Libya In addition, we have four bases in Spain ? at Madrid, Zaragoza. San Pablo and Moron ? which presumably would figure in any major conflict in the Mediterranean area involving the United States. Security Tightened Pentagon officials declined to give any estimate of U. S. air strength, either in planes or man power. at the bases. Security on such data has been tightened con siderably in ihe last few weeks. However, an Air Force spokes man emphasized that planes using these bases?including giant inter i continental bombers equipped with atomic weapons?"aren't kept on the ground like sitting ducks." Constantly shifted, the planes are kept ready round-the-clock wherever they migtit be. The bases themselves are strongly defended hy Air Force "security police." They would be used chiefly as stag ing area-- and for mid-air refueling in time of emergency, j "We haven't hit the panic but i ton yet." an ?\ir Force officer com mented. "Just say we're ready if ! the alarm does go off." Alaska is the largest United States territory, comprising more than 586,000. square miles. ?
