GAD OTH, Israel—Work on
the southern Huleh drainage
canal, scene of sharp clashes
touched off by Syrian attacks
Monday and Tuesday, was sus-
pended by Israel Tuesday at
the request of United Nations
observers, to enable them to
complete their investigation in
the area.
- While Israeli officials took all
necessary steps to assure re-
sumption - of work Wednesday,
settlements in the affected area
took stock - of damages of two
clashes. Besides damages and
casualties in Gadoth, the Syrian
gunners scored a direct hit on
a cowshed at Halatha, killing
a number of cows and another
hit on irrigation equipment.
Other buildings were slightly
damaged.
In Gadoth, a barn caught fire
and a number of buildings, in-
cluding a cowshed, were dam-
aged. Israel officials reported
that Syrians for the first time
in their attacks on Israel settle-
ments used long range Russian-
type 122 milimeter guns.
Conditions appeared normal
after the UN arranged a cease-
fire, but tension was great. Field
workers of settlements contin-
ued their regular chores and
road communication was main-
tained, but extensive precau-
tionary measures were taken
by the settlements.

Israel Cabinet Discusses
Implications of Attacks
JERUSALEM — The Israel
Cabinet met in extraordinary
session Tuesday to review the
implications of recurrent Syrian
attacks on Israeli workers in
the area south of Lake Huleh
along the Israel-Syrian frontier.
Monday's attack, which resulted
in a two-and-a-half hour tank
and cannon duel, left one Is-
raeli dead and three wounded
in the frontier Kibbutz Halatha
to which the Syrians spread
their firing.
It was reported that the
Cabinet unanimously decided
to proceed with drainage
work in the Lake Huleh area,
though the official communi-
que following the session did
not reveal any decision. Pre-
mier David Ben-Gurion re-
viewed the situation and
Foreign Minister Golda Meir
reported on her conversation
with United Nations Truce
Chief Maj. Gen. Carl C. von
Horn, whom she summoned
to the Foreign Office Monday
to explain the gravity with

which Israel views the latest
border outbreak.
In a statement to the press
foreign minister Golda Meir
expressed the hope that the
United Nations will succeed in
influencing the Syrians to end
their shooting at Israeli workers
in the Lake Huleh region. She
emphasized that drainage work
which the Syrians are attempt-
ing to disrupt is being carried
out on Israeli soil which is not
even in the demilitarized zone.
Noting that the Syrians might
have stirred up the incidents
of the last few days in an at-
tempt to scare away tourists
during Israel's tenth annivers-
ary celebrations and thus deal
the Israeli economy a major
blow, Mrs. Meir predicted this
attempt would fail. Visitors to
Israel, she pointed out, "are
not easily frightened."
An uneasy ceasefire, enforced
after several false starts Mon-
day, continued in the Lake Hu-
leh region Tuesday. Tension,
however, continues high as Is-
raeli settlers clear away the
debris at Kibbutz Halatha where
shell bursts took their t oll
among the settlers who had
taken shelter in previously-pre-
pared entrenchments.
Meanwhile, Dr. Francisco Ur-
rutia, UN Secretary General
Hammarskjold's personal repre-
sentative, explained his latest
visit to the Middle East as fol-
lows:
"I have come to see what
has been accomplished after
the Mt. Scopus agreement.
There are things that were
not even begun and I hope
that with my visit they will
make a start."
Dr. Urrutia refused to dis-
cuss with newsmen what por-
tion of the Mt. Scopus agree-
ment had not been put into
effect. He was not able to say
how long he would remain in
the area shuttling between Je-
rusalem and Amman.

Arabs Bring Issue to
UN Security Council
UNITED NATIONS — The
United Arab Republic was re-
ported here Tuesday morning
to have sent a request directly
from Cairo for a meeting of
the Security Council on a com-
plaint of alleged Israeli "ag-
gression" in the Lake Huleh
region along the Syrian border.
It was formally announced
here that Secretary General
Hammarskjold, who is now in
London, will go to Geneva
where he will meet with UAR
Foreign Minister Ma h m o u d
Fawzi probably Friday.
Emphasizing that Hammarsk-
jold's discussion with Dr. Fawzi
is not connected with Syrian-
Israeli fighting in the Huleh
Region, a spokesman for the
Secretary General said that the
UN chief and Dr. Fawzi will
discuss the entire Middle East
situation. Among the subjects
on their agenda will be the
status of the UN Emergency
Force and the issue of free-
dom of shipping through the
Suez Canal and the Gulf of
Aqaba.
All of the Middle East issues
affected by the Egyptian-Syrian
federation will be taken up in
the Geneva talks. From the
viewpoint of the UN it is un-
derstood these talks will be a
continuation of conversations
regarding the Middle East held
within the last two weeks by
Hammarskjold with Soviet For-
eign Minister Andrei Gromyko
and Britain's Foreign Secretary
Selwyn Lloyd.
Hammarskjold is expected to
return here Saturday. The Sec-
retary Genera l's spokesman
evaded direct answer to the

question whether Hammarsk-
jold is planning to go to the
Middle East.

Accurate Delineating of
Zone Suggested by Dulles
WASHINGTON—Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles Tues-
day told a press conference of
plans to delineate the boun-
daries of Syria and Israel where
shooting incidents are taking
place.
Dulles said the current trouble
arises from irrigation w or k
being carried out by Israel in
the disputed zone. The ques-
tion, he said, is whether the
Israeli project impinges on the
demilitarized zone. The limits
of this zone are not clear, he
said.
The Secretary said he knew
of no consideration at present
of stationing United Nations
Emergency Force Units at the
trouble spot on the Syrian-Is-
raeli border. He said he had
considerable reason to hope
that the problem could be
settled through the existing UN
machinery already there.
Telling of a plan to define
the disputed boundary lines,
Dulles said there was a willing-
ness of Israel to comply. He
hoped the solution could be
worked out in an amicable way
without such drastic measures
as dispatch to the scene of
UNEF units.

NEW DELHI, India, (JTA)-
Iraqi Foreign Minister Fadhil
Jamali has made an approach
to Indian Prime Minister Neh-
ru to intervene in an attempt
to settle the Arab-Israel con-
flict, the Times of India re-
ported.
In an interview with Dr. Ja-
mali in Baghdad, the Times
was told that the Iraqi govern-
ment believed that Nehru
could be most helpful in the
matter because: "He wants a
solution of this problem. He
is friendly with Nasser. The
Israelis respect him."

.

Dr. Jamali suggested that the
Iraqi were "realistic" and "do
not want to throw the Israelis
into the sea." He underlined
this "realism" by suggesting
a solution of the Arab-Israel
conflict on the basis of halting
all further immigration into
Israel and having the Jewish
State withdraw to the 1947
United Nations partition boun-
daries.
He added that Iraq would
seek a solution of the refugee.
problem with an overall settle-
ment of the Israeli issue.

Jewish Students Not
`Running Away' from
Judaism, Says Haber

LOS ANGELES—The Jewish
college student has lost his neg-
ativism and "that period of run-
ning away from Judaism ap-
pears to be over," says the
national chairman of Bnai
Brith's Hillel Foundations.
Dr. William Haber, of Ann
Arbor, Mich., speaking at the
formal opening of a new Hillel
House at the University of
Southern California, says Jew-
ish youth are expressing a new
attitude. "They are saying
`That's what I am; no use try-
ing to be somebody else; no
use apologizing,' " the Hillel
leader said.
A new dimension, Dr. Haber
added, is that Jewish college
students are seeking knowledge
about their Jewish background
to assure a sense of pride.
"They are still saying, 'Show
me.' But are not putting it in
the cynical way of a decade or
two ago. They're seeking affir-
mative, positive answers," Dr.
Haber declared.
