Jordan Defy UN (s. , , Fejo , 'Let e. 4 > . 6) 176V 10e a Copy — $3 Per Year e Be Light' s GENEVA—(Special) — Israel and Transjorclan refused to par- ticipate in the work of the UN Trusteeship Council which is try- ing to work out an international statute for Jerusalem. Aubrey S. Eban, Israel's repre- sentative, explained before the Council that the UN had abdicat- ed its responsibilities and urged the Council not to disturb the pesent political setup in Jerusa- lem. Eban told the Council that an agreement could still be reached if the UN would adopt the Israeli proposal of international super- viston of all holy places in Pales- tine without setting up an inter- national regime. Transjordan's delegate, Edmund Roch, also rejected the interna- tionalization plan. The Council then proceeded to dsicuss its appointed task. The Belgian Council member suggeit- ed that the boundaries of an in- ternational zone be determined that would fit the present demo- graphic position in the city. This proposal was strongly op- posed by Syria and Iraq. The Garreau plan is considered dead because it went beyond the specific Assembly resolution. Israel Invites 40 Countries to Maccabiad GENEVA—(JWNS)—Israel won a significant victory when the UN Trusteeship Council voted last Tuesday night to defer indefinitely a decision on the borders of an interna- tional area in Jerusalem. The majority of the Council's members agreed that it was necessary to find a solution which would make implementa- tion of the internationalization plan acceptable to all parties involved. The decision was made despite violent threats by the Iraq dele- gate who told the Council that this decision could not be accepted by the Arab countries and that the threat of a renewal of the war in the Middle East was now more real than ever. Iraq was supported by China add the Philippines who asserted that the UN Assembly's resolution on internationalization of Jerusa- lem was unchangeable. Among those who voted with the majority were Australia, Bel- gium and the Dominican Republic, the latter two reflecting Vatican opinion. From Rome, meanwhile, comes word that certain senior Vatican officials are anxious to come to an agreement with Israel. Although Vatican circles are reported being in favor of an internationalization of Jerusalem, they fear that an implementa- tion of the original plan would give Russia a foothold in JerusaleM. These officials therefore urge direct negotiations with Israel and advise the Vatican to notify its demands for complete inter- nationalization by accepting Israel's offer to provide guarantees for safety of, and access to the holy places.
