WASHINGTON — Israel Am-
bassador Abba Eban, Taesday,
called on Henry A. Byroade, As-
sistant Secretary of State for
Near Eastern Affairs, and David
Key, Assistant Secretary of State
for United Nations Affairs, to
ask that the United States use
its influence at the United Na-
tions and in any other way to
secure the release of the Israel
ship "Bat Galim" now held by
Egypt.
Eban told reporters that his
government considered it a
"grave matter because my gov-
ernment can no longer acquiesce
in the detention of the ship and
its crew." He said he had re-
ceived a definite impression that
the United States, as in other
cases, supports the United Na-
tions Mixed Armistice Commis-
sion.
Eban asked the United States
to take action upholding the
armistice commission and its
resolutions and reaffirming the
right of free passage through
the Suez Canal to ships of all
flags.

letter to the Security Council
requesting another meeting on
Israel's complaint against the
Egyptian Suez Canal blockade.
Gen. Burns' report was circu-
lated among members of the
council by Secretary General
Dag Hammarsjkold, Tuesday
morning, thus meeting the
council's request for the Burns'
report on the "Bat Galim" in-
cident before the end of Novem-
ber.
Israel's immediate request for
the Council meeting was also
necessary before the beginning
of December since Tuesday's re-
quest could be addressed to 0,4::
month's chairman, Henry Hop-
penot of France.
Dr. Charles Malik of Lebanon
took over the Council presidency
Wednesday, and there have been
some fears that he might man-
age to let the entire month of
December go by without Coun-
cil consideration of Israel's
grievance. Burns' report, a 16-
page document of complex legal
terminology, was very careful
merely to report to the Council
a summary of various meetings
of the Egypt-Israel Mixed Arm-
istice Commission and of the
special committee headed by
Gen. Burns himself which heard
Egypt's appeal from action
taken by MAC.
Cautiously, Gen. Burns ex-
pressed no opinion whatever on
any of the juridical or political
issues involved, leaving such de-
cisions to the Security Council.
