Security Council Weighs Decision
As Israel, Syria Pour Out Woes
Hussein Sees No Chance
of PLO Cooperation
(Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The JeWish News)
LONDON—Jordan's King Hussein de-
clared here that "under present conditions,
there is no possibility of our cooperation
with the leaders of the Palestine Liberation

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (JTA)—The Security Council continued its debate this week on Israel's
and Syria's charges and countercharges of aggression, before hearing reports from Major General Odd
Bull, chief of the UN Truce Supervision Organization, on what had actually taken place.
Two reports from Gen. Bull—one on Arab terrorist raids in Israel and the other on Israel's
air attack on July 14—were due to arrive here Thursday. The delegation at the UN representing the
United States, Britain and France were expected to join the Security Council's debate only after Gen.
Bull's reports had been received and digested.
At Tuesday's session, the Security Council was addressed by representatives of Iraq and Jordan,
each of whom repeated all the usual Arab arguments against Israel.
(In Jerusalem, Israeli officials were reported as not expecting any major result to develop' from
the Security Council hearing either from its complaint to the council or from the Syrian complaint
(The view here was that any just and objective resolution in the council would almost certainly be
vetoed by the Soviets and that a pro-Syrian resolution had no chance of adoption. The slight importance
Israel attaches to the Security Council debate was apparent from the delay with which Israel lodged
its counter-complaint to the council.)
Meanwhile, the council heard bitter charges against what was termed "Israeli aggression" by
Ambassador George J. Tomeh, Syria's permanent representative here.
Tomeh was given the floor after a bitter two-hour battle aimed at keeping Israel's Ambassador
