U.S. Favors Direct Israel-Jordan Talks, State Department Declares WASHINGTON, (JTA) — A State Department official said on behalf of Secretary John Fos- ter Dulles that the Department hopes Israel's action invoking the Israel-Jordan armistice agreement to force a face-to- face conference with Jordan "will bring about positive re- sults" -- "We will contribute to this end as best we can," Durward V. Sandifer, Deputy Assistant Sec- retary of State for United Na- tions Affairs, said in a letter written on behalf of Mr. Dulles to Rep. Samuel N. Freidel, of Maryland. Rep. Friedel made public the Sandifer letter which defended the recent U.S. action censuring Israel. The letter characterized Israel as having prejudiced chances for Near Eastern peace. It said the United Nations cen- sure resolution, supported by the United States against Israel, was justified by "the facts put before the Council by the chief of staff of the United States truce super- vision organization." With reference to the Israel action of Nov. 2, invoking the Israel-Jordan armistice to force talks, Mr. Sandifer said this was Israel's right. In making known that the Department would "con- tribute to this end as best we can,"- Mr. Sandifer added: "We earnestly hope that tensions will be reduced and both Israel and Jordan will demonstrate a readi- ness to establish a political at- mosphere which will make pos- sible progress toward a lasting settlement." Syria and Jordan. Presidential envoy Eric Johnson was cooly received by the Arabs when he asked them to consider the plan on a recent trip to the Near East. He expects to re- turn in February. Gov. Mechem, who headed the special three-man FOA commis- sion to study the Arab refugee question, made plain in the re- port that he feels an economic plan insufficient in itself to solve the problem. "The com- mission sees no permanent solu- tion to the refugee problem," he said, "until there is a more favorable political atmosphere leading to a workable peace es- tablished between the Arab states and Israel."
