Arab Rulers 'Basically' in Accord
on Joint Action Against Israel

LONDON (JTA)—The Arab sum-
mit meeting at Alexandria, Egypt,
where 13 kings and other heads
of Arab states have been confer-
ring since last weekend, agreed in
principle on joint military opera-
tions against Israel.
But the participants differed
widely on the timing of such opera-
tions and on details of the forma-
tion of the command, according to
Egyptian dispatches received here.
The joint command plan,
which is being kept secret, is
based on the theory that Israel
would attack some of the Arab
states just as soon as the Arabs
started their project for divert.
ing the headwaters and tribu-
taries of the Jordan River, to
keep Israel from benefiting from
its new national water carrier.
That carrier is to use Jordan
River water, through Lake Tiber-
ias. for the irrigation of the upper
reaches of the Negev Desert.
The principal stumbling block
against implementation of the joint

Arab c o m ma n d has reportedly
come from Lebanon's new presi-
dent-elect, Charles Halou, as well
as from Jordan's King Hussein.
Both fear that a joint Arab
League command would result
in the placing of foreign Arab
troops in their countries under
the aegis of Egypt's President
Gamal Abdel Nasser.
While the secret plans for the
new command have been forWarded
for detailed discussion by the
Higher Arab Joint Defense Coun-
cil, Halou warned against prema-
ture execution of the headwater
diversion plan by the construction
of a dam in Jordan. •
He argued that, while Egypt is
strong enough to fight Israel, three
of the Arab states bordering on
Israel—Jordan, Lebanon and Syria
—might have to bear the brunt of
an Israeli attack "before the Egyp-
tians had time to defeat the
enemy."
In view of the fact that Leba-
non would not be strong enough
to resist an Israeli attack, he
said, the Arab summit should
first allow his country sufficient
time to build up its army.
The other Arab states, he in-
sisted, must help Lebanon by sup-
plying arms. before the water

Abdul Khalek Hassouna, secre-

had requested earlier that the sum-

An Alexandria correspondent for

"as the days pass, it be comes
clearer that the Arabs cannot dove-
tail their plans as to be able to pro-

water plan).
"The stationing of armies (on
non-Egyptian Arab soil) bristles
with too many difficulties. All in-
quiries on the exact nature and
technical details of the proposed
work on the Jordan River tribu-
