Neo-Nazis Ask
12-point manifesto issued by the extremist National Democratic Party disclosed Tuesday
that the party wants an end to the Nazi war crimes trials and to West German compensation payments to
victims of the Nazi period. NDP, which shocked world opinion by winning parliamentary seats for the first
time in elections in Hesse and Bavaria, has never issued a detailed program, only the manifesto.
Point 9 of the manifesto reads: "Twenty years after the war, we demand an end to one-sided trials
which aim at wiping out that past, while in other countries millions of war crimes against German men,
women and children go unpunished."
Point 10 puts the NDP on record as "demanding an end to the lie about sole German responsibility
whereby thousands of millions of money has been extorted from our nation." The party has called for an
immediate end to such compensation payments.

Explosive Middle East Situation
Closely Watched by Sixth Fleet;
New Jordan Skirmishes Erupt
(Direct JTA Teletype Wires to The Jewish News)
TEL AVIV—A Jordanian police station, which was one of the targets
of the Nov. 13 Israeli action, was the source of shooting Tuesday at Israeli
workers south of the Hebron Mountain near Hirboth Yatir.
Jordanians in the Rujum el Madfa police station began shooting at the
workers who were well inside Israeli territory. Members of an armed escort
returned the fire.
The exchange lasted only three minutes, and no casualties were
reported. Israel lodged a complaint with the Jordanian-Israeli Mixed
Armistice Commission.
Two Egyptian Soviet-made MIG jet interceptor planes were shot down
Tuesday by Israeli jets in a brief air clash over Israeli territory near the
Israeli-Egyptian border. The Israeli planes were not hit.
The Israel army spokesman said that the two MIGs tried to intercept
an Israeli light plane which was on a routine reconnaisance flight about
three miles inside Israel. Two Israeli Mirage jets were sent up and sighted
the MIGs over Israeli territory in the Beer Otayim region. Both MIGs
crashed near the Egyptian border. The Israeli planes returned safely to base.
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Israeli observers maintained a close watch on the
unrest in neighboring Jordan where local Arabs, incited by strong anti-Israel propa-
ganda, demanded arms from King Hussein to be used against Israel in retaliation
for Israel's reprisal raid into Jordan on Nov. 13.
It was felt here that the situation in Jordan is nearing some kind of a climax,
as troops from Saudi Arabia were reported to have arrived in Jordan to strengthen
the position of King Hussein against the growing restlessness in the country. A
spokesman for the U.S. Sixth Fleet, which is stationed in the Mediterranean, was
also reported to state that the fleet is keeping an eye on the explosive situation
in the Middle East and is ready to intervene, should Washington give the command.
The spokesman for the 50-ship fleet refused to state whether the fleet has
already been placed on the alert.
The question here is of what possible action Israel could take if King Hussein's
regime should fall under pressure of the Palestinian Arabs on the West Bank of
Jordan, and be replaced by a military junta linked either to the Ba'ath regime
in Syria or to President Nasser's regime in Egypt.

Marshall Criticizes Anti-Israel
Action by Security Council
IIANUKA . 5727
Maccabean Message of Courage to Jewish Communities Everywhere
Military analyst Brig. Gen. S. L. A. Marshall took the UN Security
Council to task on his television show last Saturday for its censure of
Israel's reprisal raid against Jordan.
Calling the U.S., and Soviet Union's role in the censure a case of
"two large pots calling a small kettle black," he cited U.S. troops' reprisal
raids in North Vietnam and Russia's "monstrous st;itle7against Hungary"
during the Hungarian revolution.
Marshall said the public, in condemning
Israel's action, "tends to forget how the case
started. For months, Israel refrained from
reprisal. Now that its policy of going to the
UN with its complaints had failed, Israel had
no other recourse but to respond with force."
Marshall called the two charges against
Israel invalid: first, that it hit the wrong target
—"This is not true; Jordan was giving refuge
to the Syrian raiders, so of course Israel had
to strike Jordan," and second, that the punish-
ment didn't fit the crime—"When it comes to
reprisals, you can't answer a blow to the jaw
with a slap on the wrist.
"Hitting Israel with a stick has always been
a game in the UN," Marshall added.
The general, who is leaving today on an
Gen. Marshall
assignment in Vietnam, said he does not agree with observers who
predict a war in the Middle East will result from this new crisis.
"I was having lunch with (Admiral) Arliegh Burke just the other
day," he said, "and he bet me 50 cents there would be a war in the
Middle East before Christmas.
"I do not expect war in the Middle East simply because no Arab
country is in shape to take on Israel. The army of Syria is in great
disorder. Nasser is too tied down in Yemen. And the army of Jordan
can't risk war now; they'll side with Hussein all through this."

JERUSALEM (JTA)—Premier Levi Eshkol, addressing a session of
the Israel Cabinet, criticized the resolution of censure adopted last Friday
by the United Nations Security Council against Israel for the retaliatory
raid on a Jordanian village on Nov. 13.
The Premier expressed regret that the majority of the Security
Council ignored the cause which provoked the raid and which generates
tension on Israel's borders. He also regretted the fact that the Security
Council dealt with the results of one incident only without taking into
consideration the series of similar incidents directed against Israel.
The reason for the border tension, he pointed out, is the policy of
hostility and aggression conducted by Arab governments against Israel.
Israel, he stressed, only defends herself against repeated aggression.
It was a disturbing fact that the Security Council has once again ignored
the Arab policy which constitutes a violation of the United Nations
Charter and the existing armistice agreement, he emphasized, He reaffirmed
Israel's right to defend herself under the UN Charter so long as the Security
Council does not act to halt the aggressors.
