The Council met again Wed-
nesday afternoon, while efforts
were made to get both the So-
viet Union and Syria to agree
to the Western resolution, as
amended by Dixon.
Another resolution dealing

ern Powers. Syria ,.suggested

with the entire problem.
A vicious attack against Is-
rael was made earlier by Ar-
kady A. Sobolev, head of the
Soviet delegation. He said
that Israel had "committed a
deliberate and sudden attack"
on Syrian territory and that
this attack had been "careful-
ly prepared in advance."
The action by Israel, the So-
viet delegate declared, was "a
grave violation" of the armistice
agreement and of the UN Char-
ter.
Dixon commended Syria for
the "restraint" it had shown fol-
lowing the attack. He pointed
out that Israel had already been
condemned for previous attacks
at Kibya, Nahalin and Gaza, all
of which were "calculated mil-
itary operations" involving in,.
some instances loss of life "on
an appalling scale."
Sir Pierson said that Israel's
whole principle of retaliation is
"morally and politically wrong,"
is "unworthy of her," and furth-
ermore "does not pay."
Henry Cabot Lodge, head of
the American delegation, said
the United States, in sponsoring
the three-power resolution, had
underlined 4s grave concern
over the question. The main ob-
jective, he said, was to prevent
the recurrence of such actions
and he felt the Council could
not fail to condemn the Israeli
action.
Herve Alphand of France
was the first of the speakers
to say anything of a friendly
nature as far as Israel was
concerned. The French • dele-
gate was the only one to point
out that UN truce chief Gen.
Burns himself had reported
that Israel had seized Syrian
Army, documents proving that

tions in violation of the armis-
tice agreement.
Other speakers who condemn-
ed the Israel attack included
the representatives of Yugosla-
via, Iran, Belgium, China, Aus-
tralia, Cuba and Peru.

Concluding, Eban told the
Council that Israel "will give
serious consideration" to its
views but he expressed hope
the Council "in turn will make
an imaginative effort to com-
prehend the difficulties and
burdens of a small people
which has no other aspiration
but to be left alone to culti-
vate its garden, to pursue
ways of peace, to develop its
society and culture within its
modest domain of sovereignty,
to be free from illicit hostility
which has besieged it for sev-
en years and to testify in • its
new independence to deep vi-
tality and grandeur of its im-
mortal traditions."
