foreign power or by a combina-
tion of foreign powers. • "The
government," replied Heath,
"has no treaty commitments
with either Jordan or Israel. Of
course, we have our obligations
under the United Nations but no
treaty o bliga tion s." Erich
Fletcher, another Laborite,
warned that the new federation
"is likely to transform the bal-
ance of power in the Middle
East." He urged that the gov-
ernment issue a reairmation of
the Tripartite Declaration of
1950.
The engineering firm of Ken-
nedy and Donkin is submitting
designs for an atomic power
station which may become oper-
ational in 1968 in Egypt. The
contract was signed in Cairo
Monday. The plan is expected
to cost between $42,000,000 and
$56,000,000.
Israel Blackout
on Security Decisions;
Keeps Eye on Jordan
JERUSALEM- (JTA) — A
complete blackout is maintained
on the results of the delibera-
tions of the Cabinet meeting
during which a possible pro-
Nasser revolution in Jordan
affecting Israel's security was
discussed.
The blackout was prompted
by the consideration not to dis-
close details of whatever de-
cisions might have been reached
both in the field of security
preparedness and diplomatic ac-
tion. While Premier David Ben-
Gurion's oft-repeated statement
that Israel would not remain
idle if the status quo in neigh-
boring Jordan was radically
altered still held good, recent
developments had made the
exact definition of the meaning
of a change in the status quo
more complicated.
The view seemed to be that
although King Hussein of Jor-
dan had managed to control the
drive of Nasser elements against
his throne and that this had
brought some- relaxation of ten-
sio,n, Cairo's stepped-up anti-
Jordan radio campaign spread-
ing false reports about demon-
strations in Jordan- and openly
citing to revolt were considered
a grave omen.
The announcement by the
Dutch Foreign Ministry that
the Dutch government had
"promised to support Israel in
the event of an attack by the
Arab nations" was viewed as
the first of that kind which
might be expected from a num-
ber of European countries. How-
ever, the key to the danger was
viewed as being in Washington.
It is understood that Washing-
ton stressed in talks with Israel,
Egypt and Jordan that the
United States remains firmly in
support of King Hussein. How-
ever, Israel would like to see
the United States come out with
a more firm and public state-,
ment aimed at making as clear
as possible the United States
attitude and its support of Hus-
sein, accompanied by a stern
warning to President Nassar of
Egypt to leave no room for
any "miscalculation" on his part.
The Israeli Cabinet Tues-
day resumed discussions com-
mended a week ago about
the situation concerning Jor-
danian developments and the
threat to Israels security
posed by the newly created
United Arab Republic Feder-
ation.
After Prime Minister Ben-
Gurion reported to the Cabinet
about measures taken and about
diplomatic representations con-
cerning developments in the
area, the body heard a report
from Abba Eban, Minister of
Education and Culture, who vis-
ited both U.S. Secretary of
State Dean Rusk and United
Nations Secretary General U.
Thant. In E b a n s conference
with Rusk the Jordanian situa-
tion was discussed as well as
the respective attitudes toward
the new Arab Federation by the

U.S. and by Israel.
The Cabinet also heard a re-
port from Shimon Peres, Depu-
ty Minister of Defense. Peres
and the Israeli Air Force Com-
mander Gen. Ezer Weizmann re-
cently visited the U.S. to com-
plete negotiations for Israels
acquisition of the hawk ground-
to-air missile.
A spokesman for the cabinet
said that as far as concrete
news about the Cabinet's meet-
ing was concerned "the black-
out" imposed last week was
still on.
U.S Special Interests
in Jordan Developments
WASHINGTON (JTA) —
Acting Secretary of State
George W. Ball called in Israel
Ambassador Avraham Harman
for what was described as an
opportunity to express con-
dolences on the death of Presi-
dent Ben-Zvi, but which actually
involved a discussion of regional
developments including events
in Jordan.
The Washington Post reported
that the question of how Israel
would react if King Hussein's
Government in Jordan is seri-
ously endangered is a matter
of prime interest to the United
States. The newspaper said "the
uncertain situation • in Jordan
was being watched with special
attention by the White House

and the State Department."
Specialists on the area engaged
in a series
of conferences.
The United States govern-
ment is "deeply concerned"
over missile development in the
Middle East, the State Depart-
ment said yesterday, adding
that the Department was
"watching the situation" and
discussing the problem "with
the parties concerned." The
statement was made by Fred-
erick G. Dutton, Assistant Sec-
retary of State, in a letter to

Rep. Samuel S. Stratton, New
York Democrat.
Rep. Stratton sent telegrams
to the State and Defense Depart-
ments, protesting the work of
West German scientists on ad-
vanced weapons development in
Egypt. He asked both depart-
ments to "suggest possible
American courses of action to
prevent these developments."
Dutton also told the Congress-
man that the State Department
did not feel that the United
Arab Republic program of pro-
ducing jet aircraft would neces-
sarily affect the security in the
Middle East.
