the Arab states to keep Israel out
of the group. At the November
meeting of the group, just , before
the Assembly was to convene.
Israel at last had the opportunity
to present its case openly.
The November chairman of the
group. Francisco Cuevas Cancino.
of Mexico, had seen to that. He
gave the floor to Israel's perman-
ent representative here. Ambassa-
dor Michael S. Comay—and Comay
delivered an address which put
most of the members of the group
on the defensive for having al
lowed the Arabs the leeway for
Israel's exclusion.
No sooner had Comay finished.
than one of the Arabs, Dr. Adnan
M. Pachachi, of Iraq, arose , to at-
tack Israel in typical, vicious terms.
Since Pachachi was appealing,
thus, to the Africans, all won-
dered how the Africans would
react. The guessing did not last
long. A holf-dozen African rep-
resentatives took up the cudgel
on Israel's behalf. The Africans
rejected every one of the Arab
arguments. The debate lasted
almost three hours. No definite
decision on admitting or reject-
ing Israel was reached by the
time the hour arrived for ad-
journment (the meeting could
not last too long into the night
because there were seven cock-
tail parties scheduled for that
evening!) But Israel had present-
ed a powerful set of arguments—
and the Africans and Latin
Americans (since the chairman
himself represented the Latin
American bloc) had shown their
fairness toward Israel.
Bull Report and the Council:
Next day came the report from
Gen. Bull. On first reading, it cer-
