Kibutz Children Evacuated irn

(Continued from Page 1)
the zone as an accomplished fact
when the MAC session was re-
sumed.
Children of the Dan settlement
spent over four hours in shelters
Tuesday when Syrians directed fire
on kibutz houses. They were taken
to safety when bullets began fly-
ing between the houses of the
settlement. Bullet marks in several
houses in Dan bear testimony to
the Arab attack.
Joseph Tekoah, director-gen-
eral of the Israel Foreign Minis-
try, asserted here that the "fail-
ure" of the United Nations and
the major powers to act to dis-
courage Syrian aggression was
contributing to current Middle
East tensions.
Tekoah, who is chief adviser to
Israel's delegation to the current
session of the Israeli-Syrian Mixed
Armistice Commission, made the
charge in a speech at the Commer-
cial Club Sunday. The MAC session,
the first in eight years, was arrang-
ed at the initiative of UN Secre-
tary-General U Thant, who stepped
in when Syrian-Israeli border ten-
sions reached a dangerous level last
month. The fourth meeting of the
MAC session, scheduled for Feb. 9,
was postponed until the following
week at the request of Syria.
Tekoah declared that, as long as
the UN was unable to guarantee
Israel's rights in accordance with
the UN Charter and prevent Arab
attacks, the UN was not entitled,
either morally or juridically, to
criticize Israel's actions in defense
of its independence and territorial
integrity,
The Foreign Ministry official
also expressed the belief that UN
resolutions with an anti-Israel
character might be contrary to the
UN Charter, which guarantees
equal rights to all member states.
He expressed "deep regret" that
the major powers, particularly
those with close links to Syria,
were not using those ties to coun-
sel the Syrian regime to modera-
tion in its attitude toward Israel.
By such lack of action, he de-
clared, these powers indirectly
contributed to Arab aggression
and border tension.
He declared that the MAC talks,
even though they may not ulti-
mately reach a successful conclu-
sion, have nevertheless been high-
ly important. He said that, at first,
the talks had shown that the Sy-
rian regime was capable, if and
when it wished to do so, to con-
trol its border with Israel to halt
infiltrations by Arab guerrillas.
He noted that the talks also had
brought about a joint Israel-Sy-
rian declaration, at the first meet-
ing, on Jan. 25, in which both
countries reasserted their desire
to respect the general armistice
agreements.
He said the situation was not
all bad, declaring that so far, Is-
rael had managed "to convince
three neighbors that it is prefer-
able to respect peace with Israel
and we hope eventually to con-
vince the fourth." He referred to
Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon as the
three Arab countries, and to Syria
as the fourth.
Israeli circles noted that Sy-
ria had used the period during
which the MAC talks were under
way to penetrate into the de-
militarized zone at the northern
tip of Lake Tiberias, over which
Israel has complete sovereignty.
They said that UN observers ar-
rived in the locale only after
Syrian farmers had completed
their cultivation work in the dis-
puted zone, but that Israel had
deliberately refrained from tak-
ing any action against this Sy-
rian incursion while the MAC
discussions were under way.
Lt. Gen. Odd Bull, chief of staff
of the United Nations Truce Su-
pervision Organization, chairman
of the special ISMAC meetings,
abrutly adjourned the Feb. 9
meeting because the Syrians had
insisted on going beyond the fixed
agenda with demands that Israel
withdraw its military forces and
dismantle its alleged fortification

in the zones. Israel has consistent-
ly contended that it has full sover-
eignty over the demilitarized zones
under the terms of its 1949 agree-
ment with Syria.
Gen. Bull was informed by Sy-
ria only late on Feb. 8 that it was
not yet ready to resume the talks
with Israel. A special courier had
come to no-man's-land here, where
UNTSO has its headquarters, to
notify Gen. Bull of the Damascus
request_ for a deferment of the
meeting. Gen. Bull immediately
informed Moshe Sasson, Israel's
chief delegate to the ISMAC, who
was, at that time, at Kibutz Aye-
let, near Mahanayim, ready to pro-
ceed to the site of the morning
session. Sasson consulted the For-
eign Ministry here, then notified
Gen. Bull that Israel had agreed
to the postponement.
Officially, Syria told Gen. Bull
that "our side is not yet ready
and needs more time to prepare
for the session." Political circles
here believe that the Damascus
decision to call for delay was the
result 'of a serious rift on the
Israeli issue within the Syrian
government's ruling junta. One
side is believed to insist that Syria
should show at least some willing-
ness to cooperate with the United
Nations and take no definitive
steps that would cause the ISMAC
talks to collapse. Another faction
presumably wants to push toward
insistence on Syria's anti-Israeli
views, thus possibly forcing Israel
to break off the talks.
Pointing to the latter attitude,
as seen here, was an address
broadcast Feb. 8 by Syrian Presi-
dent Atassi, who told a Damascus
meeting that the Israeli problem
can be solved "only through war."
In his speech, Dr. Atassi also
pledged further support to the
"Arab liberation movements," say-
ing that Syria would "not be the
guardian of Israel's borders."
The important factor regard-
ing disarmament in the Middle
East concerns not atomic wea-
pons—which do not exist in the
area—but conventionAl weapons,
Prime Minister Levi Eshkol told
the Knesset Monday.
Eshkol made that statement in
replying to a question in the house
based on an interview carried by
the British Broadcasting Corpora-
tion with Egypt's President Gamal
Abdel Nasser, in which the latter
discussed international supervi-
sion over atomic reactors.
Nasser, said Eshkol, has not yet
agreed to such nuclear reactor su-
pervision. But, even if he should
agree to such supervision in the
atomic field, the important issue
concerns conventional armaments.
There is little point, Eshkol
declared, in discussing atomic wea-
pons which do not exist in the re-
gion, instead of conventional wea-
pons ' which do exist and pose a
threat to the area's peace. Atomic
disarmament, he continued, may
follow, once an agreement is reach-
ed on conventional weapons.
Israelis Find Another
Mine Along Patrol Route
Near Jordanian Border
TEL AVIV (JTA)—The Israel
Army spokesman said on Feb. 9
that three saboteurs had crossed
the border from Jordan and plant-
ed an anti-vehicle mine on an Is-
raeli patrol route. The mine was
successfully dismantled without
causing damage.
Trackers traced the footprints
of the three infiltrators from and
to the Jordanian border. They also
picked up leaflets bearing the
signature of "El Ashraff," an Arab
Liberation Organization commando
unit.
Soviet Union Reported
Shifting Emphasis of Concern
BOSTON (JTA) — Indications
of a shift in Soviet Russia's Middle
East policy were seen Tuesday in
a dispatch by John K. Cooley, the
Christian Science Monitor's cor-
respondent in Lebanon.
These, he reported, include im-
proved relations with Iran, Turkey
and Pakistan, which apparently
stem from Sino-Soviet strife.
Other factors, he reported, are
the result of many complex is-

Attack

sues, including declining French
interest in Morocco and Tunisia,
growing Soviet influence in Al-
geria, and the economic rival-
ries in the Sahara between
Morocco, Mauritania, Algeria,
Spain and other Western powers.
The Soviet Union's recent sale
of _$100,000,000 worth of arms to
Iran has shocked Egypt's Presi-
dent Nasser. Washington observ-
ers believe. Now the Shah of Iran
is believed to be seeking modern
anti-aircraft weapons to defend
the country's seaports, and oil in-
stallations against possible attacks
by Nasser's aircraft.
U.S. Starfighters Arriving
in Jordan as Cover Against Israel
WASHINGTON (JTA) —Ameri-
can F-104 Starfighter jets, granted
by the United States to Jordan
after Israel's reprisal attack on
the Jordanian village of Es-Samu,
last November, began arriving in
Jordan Tuesday, according to re-
ports received here from Amman.
The Jordanian Air Force is cur-
rently training men to use the
planes in five squadrons, to pro-
vide air cover against Israel, the
Jordanian report stated.
The Egyptian government noti-
fied the United States only Mon-
day that it had canceled permis-
sion it had granted the U.S.A.
previously for overflights during
the delivery of jets and weapons
to Jordan.
Showdown Between 2 Factions
in Damascus Foretold

British Industrialists Tol d to Ignore Arab Boycott

LONDON (JTA) — British in-
dustrialists were urged here to dis-
regard the threats of the Arab
boycott and develop increased
trade relations with Israel which
"can well be a better market than
the Arab markets."
Marcus J. Sieff, chairman of
the Israel committee of the Brit-
ish National Export Council, said
that the Arab boycott of Israel-
does not apply where a company
is merely trading with Israel. He
said that, considering Israel's links
with third countries with whom
she has developed economic ties,
the potential of Israel's market
was "very considerable."

The committee aims at securing
as large a share as possible of the
Israel market for British firms.
British exports to Israel now total
more than 50,000,000 pounds ster-
ling ($140,000,000).

BOSTON—The Christian Science
Monitor said Wednesday that an
imminent showdown between two
factions in Damascus on the issues
of Iraq oil shipments and Israel
may bring about a new change of
government soon.
The paper forecast a clash be-
tween elements led by Defense
Minister Hafez Assad, who, it
said, wants a speedy resolution of
the oil dispute, and a faction led
by Maj. Gen. Salah Jadid. The lat-
ter group, the paper reported, "re-
luctantly accepts the need for calm
with Israel," but wants to hold out
for all its financial demands on
the Iraq petroleum company.
