Mrs. Meir expressed the opin-
ion that peace between Israel and
the hostile Arab states must
come, sooner or later. "I am con-
vinced of that," she declared.
With regard to the revolt in
Syria, she said that Israel, while
being watchful over develop-
ments in Syria, is following an
old principle of non-interference
in the affairs of other countries.
Meanwhile, this year's Arab at-
tack against Israel in the current
General Assembly was delivered
Tuesday by Ahmad Shukairy,
chairman of the Saudi Arabian
delegation who, for several years
now, has been the self-anointed
principal anti - Israel spokesman
on behalf of the Arab bloc.

only "to leave Israel on its own."
What he demanded was that

Arab states "do everything in
our power to help Palestine re-

IT JEWISH NEWS -- Friday, October 6, 1961

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., (JTA)--The chances for
the Tunisian delegate, Mongi Slim, president of the cur-
rent session of the United Nations General Assembly,
to succeed the late Dag Hammarskjold as UN Secretary
General today continued to become weaker because of
his snubbing Israel's Foreign Minister Mrs. Golda Meir
at President Kennedy's reception last week.
More and more delegates from various countries
disqualified Slim from the neutral position which the
executive head of the United Nations must maintain.
The consensus among most of the delegations was that
the representative of Tunisia was out of the running
for Hammarskjold's post.
.
Mrs. Meir today continued her contacts with other
foreign ministers attending the current session. She met
with Ato K. Yifrum, acting Foreign Minister of Ethiopia.
Over the weekend, she conferred with the Foreign Min-
ister of Iran, Yadollah Azodi.
