Israel Exposes Hussein's 'Conniving"; Files
Complaint With UN; Border Force Strengthened
(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)
JERUSALEM—Mrs. Golda Meir,
Israel's foreign minister, sum-
moned Monday night Gen. Odd
Bull, the UN Truce Supervisory
Organization commander, to in-
form him of the grave situation
created by the Jordanian attack
Monday on Jerusalem in which two
Israelis were killed.
The Israeli delegation at the UN
has been instructed to submit a
protest on the attack to the sec-
urity Council.
Premier Levi Eshkol postponed
plans to reply Monday night to
the debate in parliament on new
appointments to the cabinet and
held instead urgent consultations
with his staff on the shootings. The
Liberal-Herut bloc In parliament
submitted an urgent motion for
debate on the incident.
Official sources here stressed
that the Jordanian shooting was
planned. They noted that about
15 minutes before the attack Jor-
dan submitted a complaint to the
Israel-Jordan Mixed Armistitce
Commission, claiming Israel had
opened fire. They said the com-
plaint was a pretext for the at-
tack. The Israeli sources said that
there was no shooting from Israel
Monday, not even a return fire.
to the Jordanian shooting.
They warned that if the Jor-
danian attack was King Hus-
sein's answer to Israeli warn-
ings against "conniving" with
raids into Israel by Fatah com-
mandos from Jordanian bases
and to Israel's care "not to harm
Jordanian civilians, he is play-
ing with fire." Israel sent troops
into Jordan last Thursday, and
they wrecked three staging bases
for the Fatah infiltrators.
Funeral services were held Tues-
day for Yafah Benymina, the 14-
year-old girl killed in the shoot-
ings. The victim's school friends
participated in the rites.
In addition, a Christian car-
penter working at the Notre Dame
Monastery was killed, and two
nuns in the building were wound-
ed. An Israeli woman and a sec-
ond Israeli girl were hurt, as
well.

Nasser Complains of 'Inter - Arab Rifts
Jordan River Diversion Tactics a Failure

LONDON — President Nasser of
Egypt told the Palestine National
Congress Monday night that inter-
Arab rifts barred an Arab war
against Israel, it was reported
here from Cairo.
In an impromptu speech at the
opening session he said the Arab
world was dominated by suspi-
cions, mistrust and contradictory
interests and said "Arab revolu-
tionary action was needed." He
contended that "Palestine" could
be "liberated" only through war.
Among the conflicts he cited were
those in Yemen between Egypt
and Saudi Arabia and antagonism
between Syria and Iraq.
He urged some kind of boycott
by the Arab countries against Tu-
nisian President Habib Bourguiba
because of his calls for Arab
recognition of Israel and for talks
with Israel for peace.
Syrian Premier Amin El Hafez
has become the first leader of an
Arab country bordering Israel to
state publicly that efforts to di-
vert the Jordan River to deny
its waters to Israel were a
waste of time, the Guardian of
Manchester reported Tuesday
from Beirut.
The Syrian premier's views
were expressed in an interview
with a Beirut newspaper Monday.
The Guardian correspondent also
wrote that the absence of prog-
ress in the recently concluded
talks in Cairo by Arab premiers,
together with the lack of Arab re-
sponse to the retaliatory Israeli
raid on Ebjan, "brought home the
bitter truth that the Arabs are in
no shape to risk a war with Isra-
el."
The Guardian reported that Sy-
-
0
ria said that an Israeli attack
took place against its diversion
project, on May 13, and that the
Syrians made the "unusual ad-
mission" they did not return the
fire. The Guardian said that,
since then, the Syrians apparently
had stopped work on the project,
having concluded that it was al-
most impossible to protect the
work from limited Israel bom-
bardment.
The development provoked con-
siderable speculation, it was re-
ported, especially in Lebanon,
where it was pointed out that "if
Syria cannot protect the project,
Lebanon can hardly be expected
to protect others."
King Hussein of Jordan was re-
ported as having called on Jorda-
nians to join the army and thus
"have the honor of playing your
role in the forthcoming battle for
Palestine." The king made the
remark in presenting colors in
Amman to newly formed brigades
of the Jordanian army.
The Arab premiers ended their
five-day conference in Cairo
Monday still unable to reach
agreement on a unified stand
against Israel. This was the
second time this year that the
Arab leaders had attempted to
work out differences concerning
the deployment of Arab troops
under a unified command in
countries bordering Israel.
Tunisia boycotted the conference
claiming that the Arab League is
being used as a means of dis-
crediting Tunisian President Ha-
bib Bourguiba.
The ruling Baath Party in Sy-
ria has denounced President
Nasser for warning the Arab
countries against an attack on
Arab Links to European Anti-Semites
Reported at Jewish Group Parley
GENEVA (JTA) — The "close
working links" between Arab rep-
resentatives and anti - Semitic
groups in western Europe was dis-
cussed here at a two-day meeting
of the Conference of Jewish Or-
ganizations, the coordinating body
of 10 major Jewish groups.
A report was presented by Dr.
Stephen J. Roth, European direc-
tor of the World Jewish Congress.
He told the session that anti-Jew-
ish activities in Europe were being
conducted by Arab diplomatic
representatives, Arab League of-
ficials and Arab students at many
European universities.
He reported that, among the
four European offices of the
Arab League, the one in Bonn

40—Friday, June 4, 1965
was "particularly involved in
promoting anti-Jewish propa-
ganda." Information bulletins
published and distributed by the
Bonn Arab League office quoted
at length "from anti-Jewish arti-
cles from the West German neo-
Nazi press."
The session also was told that
Dr. Hassan Awat Sakoussa, direc-
tor of the Bonn Arab League office
was "a frequent contributor or of-
fers interviews to neo-Nazi and ex-
tremist periodicals" and that he
maintained working contacts with
leading figures in the German neo-
Nazi movement.
COJO also reported that the
other European Arab League of-
fices, in London, Rome and
Geneva, focussed on anti-Israel ac-
tivities but that often their line
between anti-Israel and anti-Jew-
ish themes was indistinguishable.
Israel before their defenses were
completed.
Lt. Amin El Hafez said in a
statement widely publicized by
Syria that Syria would reject any
"solution" of the "Palestinian
problem" which did not provide
for the "elimination" of Israel. He
also assailed the Arab unified com-
mand, calling it ineffective.
He said that contrary to Nas-
ser's view he believed that the
Arab premiers' meeting in Cairo
last week made no progress
toward "liberation of Palestine."
He said that Syria had submitted
a detailed plan to "liberate Pa-
lestine" at the premiers' confer-
ence which called for opening of
all Arab fronts with Israel and set
a timetable for the destruction of
Israel. Details of the plan were
not disclosed.
It was believed that the call for
opening of all fronts embarrassed
Nasser because it would have
meant a demand for ending the
patrol of UN emergency force
troops from the Israeli-Egyptian
border. They have been on duty
since the 1956 Suez campaign.

Cooperatives
in Israel
The cooperative movement is highly
developed in Israel. All sections of the
country have cooperative enterprises in
many fields—in trades and industries,
metal work and electricity, woodwork,
building materials, printing shops and
binderies, textiles and clothing, food
processing, soap, and drugs. There is
practically no branch of the economy
in which cooperatives are not active.
There are large cooperatives whose
memberships number thousands. There
are branches of the economy where
the cooperatives have a monopoly, such
as the transportation of passengers
and goods. There are cooperatives for
operating ships, as well as cooperatives
for public services such as the distribu-
tion of meat, ice, and oil and for
restaurants, hotels, movie houses, har-
bor services, motor repairs, etc. The
business of each cooperative is con-
ducted by an independent management
elected at a general meeting of the
members. All members have equal
rights. They are paid in accordance
with the salary scale fixed by them-
selves, and they share in the profits
of the enterprise.
The Center for Cooperatives of the
Labor Organization (the Histadrut) is
the governing body for all cooperatives.
The Center deals with all the activities
of the cooperatives; it supervises them
and helps them to establish themselves
firmly and to develop. The Center also
deals with the attachment of new mem-
bers to existing cooperatives and with
the establishment of new cooperatives.
A new immigrant to Israel who re-
ceived housing in one of the towns or
settlements, can — if he is a skilled
workman and has saved some money
from his earnings — join a cooperative
in his own field by investing his capi-
tal in a cooperative enterprise, and
thus become a partner.
There is an agreement between the
Center for Cooperatives and the Jew-
ish Agency whereby prospective immi-
grants are organized into cooperatives
in their countries of origin before corn-
ing to Israel. Jewish Agency repre-
sentatives in the countries of the Dia-
spora inform each immigrant of the
opportunity to join a cooperative group
or enterprise.

Forces on Israel-Jordanian
Border to be Strengthened
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (JTA)
—United Nations Secretary Gen-
eral U Thant has ordered the
commander in chief of the U.N.
Truce Supervision Organization,
Gen. Odd Bull, to strengthen the
UN forces on the Jordanian-Israel
border in order to prevent in-
cidents.
Thant took this step after re-
ceiving a report from Gen. Bull
in which the latter was reportedly
informed that Israel would renew
its retaliatory measures if Jordan
did not put an end to Arab ter-
rorist attacks carried out by in-
filtrators from Jordanian territory.
An emergency meeting of the U.N.
Mixed Armistice Commission was
planned for today in Jerusalem's
neutral zone.
Israel submitted to the United
Nations Security Council a for-
mal complaint about "renewed
acts of violence and sabotage by
armed groups penetrating into
Israel from Jordan territory."
Ambassador Michael Comay,
Israel's permanent representative
to the UN, asked that the letter
concerning forays against Israeli
settlements near the Jordanian
border be circulated among the
members of the Security Council
but he did not ask for a meeting
of that body.
In his latest communication to
the Security Council, C o m ay
noted his letter_ submitted to that
body on March 1 in which he re-
ferred to a series of such incur-
sions and in which he stressed
that the attacks were gross viola-
tions of the Israel-Jordan Armis-
tice Agreement and stressing the
urgency and the inescapable duty
of the Jordanian government to
prevent such attacks.
Israel Conveys 'Grave View'
to State Department
WASHINGTON (JTA) — The
grave view and the possible seri-
ous consequences of further Jor-
danian acts of aggression were
conveyed here, in talks with S4'
Department officials, by Isra∎__;-Th
diplomats in discussions on the
wanton attack by Jordan in Jeru-
salem Monday.
It is understood that the Israeli
diplomats pointed out that re-
peated investigations have con-
firmed that, contrary to Jordan-
ian contentions, not one shot was
fired from Israeli positions in C.
Jerusalem. Allegations of Israel
fire were used by Jordanians in
an attempt to justify their attack
across the border.
A State Department spokesman
issued a statement Tuesday de-
ploring the latest outbreak of vio-
lence along the Israel-Jordan bor-
der.
Commenting on the Jerusalem
incident the spokesman said: "We
deplore the ignoring of the peace-
keeping mechanism and the at-
tack across the border with the
resulting senseless loss of life. We
are waiting for the report of this
incident from the United Nations
authorities which have the peace-
keeping responsibilities in the area
and to which the parties are re-
sponsible for referring their dif-
ference."
