Eshkol !Would See Hussein in Amman to Talk _Peace A Roster of Fair Speakers, JERUSALEM—Premier Levi Eshkol offered Wednesday to negotiate peace with the Arab states "jointly or separately" and said he was prepared to meet at any time with King Hussein of Jordan, either in Jerusalem or in the Jordanian capital of Amman. Hussein replied in London that he "never feared talking to anyone" and said a "peaceful, just solution" was near. He added there were "more states involved in this than merely Jordan and Israel."

(In Bonn, Foreign Minister Willy Brandt stressed to visiting Jordan King Hussein the Federal Republic's humanitarian at- titude toward the refugee problem, noting its decision to give 50,000,000 marks toward alleviating the refugees' hardships.

He also said that West Germany would decline to serve as a mediator in the Middle East dispute if asked to do so.) TEL AVIV (JTA) — Egypt is building up what is "virtually an international army" along the Suez Canal, Col. Uri, commander of Israel's forces on the east bank of the waterway, said Sunday. He estimated that there are now 50,000 soldiers along Egypt's western shore of the canal, many of them wearing foreign uniforms which are obviously not Egyptian. The soldiers are from Kuwait, Algeria and the Sudan, and are equipped with large numbers of tanks and artillery pieces, he declared. I. Shargil, the JTA correspondent here, returned Sunday from a first-hand view of the situation along the Suez Canal area. He reported that, at the point where the Suez Canal enters the Red Sea, and the site of last week's thunderous Is- raeli attack against Egypt's oil refinery complex. "we could see clearly the de- struction wrought by Israel's artillery at Port Ibrahim and Port Suez. where Israel's guns destroyer 80 per cent of Egypt's oil refining capacity. On the Egyptian side. we could still see smoke coming from the ruined Egyptian installations and from Egyptian oil tankers knocked out by the Israelis." "On the Israeli side," he reported, "soldiers were going about their usual rou- tine affairs, but with one difference. It was Sukkot, and they had built a sukka for themselves midst the walls of old, demolished Egyptian warehouses. Even while the fighting was under way, the Israeli soldiers went to their sukka whenever they had a few minutes. A tumultous welcome was given Soviet naval ships that arrived in Port Said. Diplomatic sources asserted in London that the Soviet Union had supplied Egypt ' with a new type of ground-to-ground missiles to strengthen the Arab position against Israel. Meanwhile. in Washington, Rep. Edward J. Derwinski, Illinois Republican, a member of the House Foregin Affairs Committee. said the Soviet Union may have caused the sinking of the Israeli destroyer Elath and otherwise escalated tensions to establish "a second front in the Middle East, to take the heat off North Vietnam." In a weekend statement, the Congressman charged that Russia might have used guided missiles against the Elath "as an answer to the increased American aerial activity in North Vietnam. The sinking rekindled the Arab-Israeli con- flict and made Egypt more dependent on Soviet forces.
