Keyserling was chairman of
President Truman's Council of

nationwide headlines in 1944
when he won a $10,000 prize in
the Pabst Postwar Employment
Award.
From 1933 to 1937 Keyserling
was legislative assistant to Sen-
ator Robert F. Wagner of New
York. He served as consultant
to the Senate Committee on
Banking and Currency from
1935 to 1937 and from 1944 to
1946, also acting as consultant
to the Senate Pustwar Commit-
tee in the latter period.
A member of the New York
bar, he received his LLB in 1931
from Harvard aaw School, later
becoming an instructor in eco-
nomics at Columbia.
Sponsors of the dinner include:

UN Debates Israel's Protest
Against Blockade by Egypt

(Continued from Page One)

circles it is thought inconceivable that the USSR would follow
the precedent it set in the veto of the Big Three resolution in
the Israel-Syrian case and thus compromise its own position
and direct interests in free passage of waterways.
The Israel delegation at the UN called a meeting of eight
maritime states which are not members of the Council. At thtt
session the importance of free waterways was stressed. In addi-
tion, the Israelis are seeking support among Mediterranean and
African powers to whom an open Suez Canal is a lifeline eco-
nomically and militarily.
It is believed fairly certain that the Western Powers will back
the Israeli complaint with some action, but Israel wants more
than another resolution condemning the Egyptians. It wants a
resolution with teeth in it—not necessarily sanctions—but some
sort of control and regular reporting to ensure actual compliance
with Council instructions. The Israelis are pressing for complete
lifting of the blockade and for reaffirmation of the principle of
unhampered passage through such international waterways as
the Suez Canal.
UN circles describe Egypt as nervous over the current situa-
tion, far more so than in 1951 when it was rebuked by the Coun-
cil for the same type of action. This time, UN circles believe, the
Anglo-Egyptian dispute has made the Egyptians more aware
of the possibilities of world reaction to its aggressive role against
Israel.
United Nations Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold is
believed to be preparing to call the Israel-Jordan meeting
requested by Israel under the terms of the Israel-Jordan
armistice agreement.
The Secretary General pointed out that he was under legal
obligation to convoke an Israel-Jordan meeting unless Israel
withdrew its request.
Mr. Hammarskjold expressed concern over the situation re-
sulting from the Soviet veto in the Bnot Yaakov case. He said
UN truce chief Maj. Gen. Vagn Bennike was engaged in explor-
ing with Israel government officials the question of the Jordan
Hydroelectric project but emphasized that these talks were
"exploratory."
In a resume of the Israeli view of the legal position an
Israeli spokesman said this week that the Mixed Armistice Com-
mission "is not empowered to embark upon the general review
of the agreement at a political level" as requested by Israel.
