An Israel military spokesman on Tuesday announced that Jordan troops have been

Legion movement.
Meanwhile, the Commission on Tuesday held an "informal" meeting at which it

Century, A. D.) was
moved into the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City,
by a special crew of riggers who had to uncrate the statue in
order to get it through the doors of the Museum. The statue,
2 1/z times life size, discovered in Caesarea, Israel, by work-
men clearing a field, was shipped to this country as part of
the "From the Land of the Bible" Archeological Exhibit to
be presented at the Museum by the American Fund for Israel
Institutions, in cooperation with the Association for Israel
Museums. Dr. S: -Yeivin, director of the Department of An-
tiquities, Israel, has stated that this statue is one of the most
outstanding monuments ever uncovered in Israel. The open-
ing of the exhibit has been postponed. to June 14, according
to a joint announcement by Dr. Francis H. Taylor, director
of the Metropolitan Museum; Louis M. Rabinowitz, exhibit
chairman; and Edward A. Norman, American Fund president.

German Sailors Sabotage
Oil Tanker in Haifa Port

TEL AVIV, (JTA)—Israeli authori-
ties began investigation of the
sabotaging of an oil tanker in the
port of Haifa by German sailors on
the vessel. The Germans, who had
been at sea six months when the
vessel entered the port, were re-
fused permission to land. In repris-
al, some of them opened an oil
pipe and permitted many tons of
fuel to run into the water.

Gen. Riley said that he would not leave Pales-
tine until the present Israel-Jordanian difficulty
was settled. "I am not accustomed to abandoning
work which I have started," Gen. Riley told news
men.

In Israeli political circles it was suggested that
Gen. Riley should be asked to remain at his post
until a successor satisfactory to all interested par-
ties is selected. These same circles stressed that Gen,
'Bennet de Ridder, Belgian assistant to Gen. Riley,
should not become his successor. Recently the Is-
raelis have sought to have Gen. de Ridder removed
as UN chairman of the Israel-Jordan Mixed Armis-
tice Commission, charging that his administration
of the post was aiding the Arabs.

Asked by newsmen whether he would recorn-
mend a successor for his post, Gen. Riley had
said "definitely not." To a question whether Gen.
de Ridder would serve as acting chief of staff after
May 15, Gen. Riley said, "not necessarily."

Although he gave no reason for his action in
his short cable to the UN Secretariat, Gen. Riley
told newsmen here that his reasons were "purely
personal" adding that he had contemplated such
action for a long time but that up to now his resig-.
nation had been rejected.
