Israel Charges Jordan Repudiates Armistice
Riley Reports Deteriorating
Relations Between Jews, Arabs
LAKE SUCCESS, N.. Y.— (ISI)--The charge that the
government of Jordan is attempting to repudiate the Israel-
Jordan Armistice Agreement was levelled this week by Am-
bassador Abba Eban in a complaint to the .Security Council.
The Israel Representative rejected as groundless the
claim of Jordan that Israel had occupied territory in the
vicinity of Naharayim in al-
leged violation of the Armistice
Agreement.
Mr. Eban declared that the
maps -delineating the Armistice
Demarcation Line prove clearly
that Israel forces are entitled to
be where they are. Realizing
this, he said, "the Jordan au-
thorities take refuge in the ab-
surdity that the document is
.'forged'."
He pointed out that members
of t h e Egyptian government
also have made public state-
ments recently containing the
unfounded implication that their
government, despite the Armis-
tice Agreement, is free to em-
bark on a r m e d intervention
against Israel at such time as
it may • deem necessary.
Referring to the "persistent
tendency on the part of the
t0 ► ' Arab governments to violate the
Armistice Agreements," he em-
phasized th a t the Egyptian
blockade has recently elicited
protests from several UN mem-
bers whose legitimate commerce
has been molested.
In addition, Article 8 of the
Israel-Jordan Armistice _ Agree-
ment which refers to access to
Mount Scopus and other ques-
tions unsettled in the Agree-
ment, has remained unimple-
mented by Jordan for over 18
months and Israel is still striV-
iing for its implementation.
Mr. Eban notecl, also that
unauthorized flights by Arab
aircraft over Israel territory
and count less infiltrations
from Jordan territory have
occurred with "disquieting fre-
quency."
He declared that in present-
ing their complaints directly to
the Security Council, the Arab
governments "seek to evade the
scrutiny of the Mixed Armistice
Commissions, which were estab-
lished under United Nations
chairmanship to investigate all
problems arising under the
Armistice Agreements."
On the other hand, Israel as
a rule has sought redress for
violations through appeal to the
Mixed Armistice Commission "in
which it has full confidence."
Mr. Eban called attention to
the Arab Governments' ignoring
the Security Council Resolution
of Aug. 11, 1949 which called for
final peace negotiations between
Israel and the Arab States. He
pointed out that the Arab goy-
s., ernments had unanimously re-
jected the Memorandum of the
Palestine Conciliation Commis-
sion which suggested the pro-
cedures and principles whereby
a settlement should be sought.

Grave View of Jordan's
Threat to Use Force
• TEL AVIV, (ISI)—The Israel
government is taking a grave
view of the Jordan government's
attitude toward the Armistice
Agreement, as shown by Jordan
For e i g n Minister Muhammed
Shureiki's threat to use force in
the Jordan-Yarmuk Rivers in-
cident, Dr. Walter Eytan, di-
rector-general of the Israel Min-
istry for Foreign Affairs, de-
clared this week.
In a cable to the Security
Co u n c i 1, Mr. Shureiki had
charged Israel with violating
the Armistice Agreement after
Israel plowed one square kilo-
meter of land near the Nahara-
yim hydroelectric plant a fort-
night ago.
The territory was awarded to
Israel by the Rhodes Armistice
Agreement in 1949, which was
signed by Colonel Jundi of Jor-
dan and Alouf Dayan of Israel.
Dr. Eytan declared.
Terming. t h e Jordan com-
plaint ''a tissue of lies," Dr.
Eytan said Mr. Shureiki "did
not know what he was talking
about" when he spoke about Is-
rael forging a map.
Brig. Gen. Yigal Yadin, coin-
mander-in-chief of the Israel
Defense Forces, declared that
mines are being laid by citizens
or soldiers of Jordan, Egypt and
Syria, resulting in the death of
I s r a el soldiers and civilians.
Therefore, the Israel Army has
no other recourse but to in-
crease its patrols and drive off
the infiltrators by force if neces-
sary, he said.
Replying to a question as to
the timing of the plowing of the
Naharayim area, Yadin said: "If
the plowing of this area 18
months after the Armistice
Agreement is a violation of any-
thing, then we are violating the
agreements 50 times daily. Every
day we are plowing new areas
and when we finish plowing one
we go on to another."
Asked about the Egyptian al-
legation that 6,000 Arabs were
recently driven out of Southern
Israel. Yadin estimated that 400
to 500 infiltrees were found in
border areas, following recent
mining incidents in the South,
and were returned to their
places of origin. He stressed
that these measures affected in-
filtrees only and not Israel's
Arab citizens.
Relations Deteriorating;
Number of Disputes grows
JERUSALEM, (JTA)—"The re-
lations between Israel and Jor-
dan are steadily deteriorating
due to the growing number of
border incidents and disputes
which make our work extremely
difficult," Brig. Gen. William E.
Riley, head of the United Na-
tions truce supervision staff in
Palestine, declared here.
General Riley returned from
Amman, capital of Jordan,
where he exchanged views with
the Jordanian Foreign Minister
regarding the latest border dis-
pute in the northern part of the
country. The Minister reiterated
the charges which were con-
tained in a cable sent by him
directly to the UN Security
Council 'in which he stated that
Israel forces had moved into the
Rutenberg hydro-electric works
with the purpose of controlling
the confluence of the two riv-
ers Yarmuk and Jordan."

Israel to Ask Red Cross
To Intervene with Jordan
TEL AVIV, (JTA)—The Israel
government will approach the
International Red Cross to in-
tervene with the government of
Jordan against cruel treatment
of Israel war prisoners who have
fallen into the hands of the
Arab Legion, a spokesman of the
Israel army said. He emphasized
that the Army takes the most
serious view of the treatment of
Jewish prisoners in Jordan.
The announcement was made
after it was established that
four Jewish war prisoners, who
returned to Israel on Sept. 4,
were treated cruelly in prison
and during their interrogation
by officers of the Arab Legion.
An Israel spokesman has re-
vealed that Jordan has been
holding eight Israel civilians in
jail in Ramallah for varying
periods up to seven months. No
attempt has been made to either
try them or release them, the
spokesman said, adding that UN
personnel have intervened un-
successfully in behalf of fair
treatment for the eight.

U.S. Maccabiah‘ Quintet Rocks Brazil;
With Super Brand of Razzle Dazzle

Coach Bobby Sand of the
American I s r a e l i Basketball
Team led his charges into San
Paulo, Brazil, and after an
hour's rest, the American boys
took the court against the San
Paulo All-Stars. Sand writes us
that the first half was a mite
close, the score ending 25-20 in
our favor.
In the second half, the kids
began working the ball off Big
Ed Roman, City College star, in
the pivot. They moved and pro-
ceeded to make beautiful open-
ings to run up a 20-point lead.
With six minutes to go, Sand re-
ports : "I had them go into a
freeze. L.I.U.'s Eddie Gard put
on a wonderful ball handling
exhibition and the fans went
wild about it. We let them score
a few points and the game end-
ed with a thirteen point margin
in our favor for which they were
grateful.
"After having seen set of-
fenses such as used by Utah,
Brigham Young, and the West
Coast All-Stars, the voluble
South American spectators went
wild over the Eastern ball han-
dling.
The radio and newspapers
rave constantly about the way
the Israeli kids move the ball.
Artie Goldberg of Duquesne was
high man for the game with
fourteen points, followed closely
by Ed Roman. who had thirteen.
"The Jewish people in San
Paulo are very excited about our
trip. Their hospitality has been
wonderful. They take time off
from their business to show us
around the city and serve as in-
terpreters. They have planned
a party which is to be given in
the afternoon and a dance in
the evening.
We feel we are doing a great
deal for Jewish relationships
throughout this area. Here,
t h e r e is virtually no anti-
Semitism. The Brazilians have
been very nice all the way
around.
"Bowling Green College is
traveling in this area and they
have won their first three games
against local groups. An attempt
is being made to book our Isra-
eli team against Bowling Green
in Rio.' Naturally, the boys are
looking forward to it with
gusto."
Plans are going ahead for
sending the American Israeli
team to Israel for the Maccabiah
games commencing Sept. 23.
