UNITED NATIONS—The entire
United Nations showed restiveness
over the Middle East crisis Tues-
day now that both Israel and the
Arab states have taken Security
Council positions deemed firmer
and more antagonistic then ever.
Israel Foreign Minister A b b a
Eban asserted firmly in the coun-
cil Monday that Israel would never
return to the 1949 armistice re-
gime, no matter what the conse-
quences.
Jordan's foreign minister hinted
that, if Israel did not withdraw
its troops from areas taken from
the Arab states in the June war,
the Arabs may be "forced" to re-
open the war. There was hence
much uncertainty Tuesday whether
the council would be able to adopt
either of the principal resolutions
before it — one a Soviet-Arab doc-
ument co-sponsored by India, Mali
and Nigeria, the other a United
States draft which falls short of
acceptance by the Arabs and may
not please Israel either. In the
background are moves by Japan,
a member of the council, to work
out a "compromise" which, it has
been indicated, would displease
Israel. The Latin American bloc
is hoping to get passage for a de-
feated resolution submitted by the
South Americans last summer, ty-
ing Israel's troop withdrawal to
Arab reunuciation of belligerence.
While all this was going on,
however, the General Assembly
was in recess, a hiatus called
over a month ago by the assem-
bly's president, Corneliu
nescu of Romania, to give the
Security Council another chance
to reach accord on a Mid East
resolution acceptable to all con-
cerned.
The council was due to meet
again Wednesday. Consultations
were continued among all the
principals Tuesday in an almost
frantic effort to get the Mid East
crisis off the debating floor and to
some form of agreement — not
only to help strive for a solution
of the Israeli-Arab crisis but also
so that the assembly might resume
its regular work.
In Jerusalem, Prime Minister
Levi Eshkol, scorning Arab "pre-
tensions" of moderation, reiterated
in the Knesset Monday that Israel
will never, under any circum-
stances, return to the borders of
June 4, confirming the statement
of Isreal's policy delivered by
Eban before the Security Council.
(The prime minister disclosed
that, in the Sinai campaign of
1956 and in the Six-Day War last
June, Israel captured Arab wea-
pons and armaments valued at
from $1,000,000,000 to $1,000,250,-
000. Now, however, Soviet Russia
is replenishing the Arab arsenal,
he said, and is again "besmirching
Israel's name with allegations that
we are planning new aggression,
the same false allegations that
prompted Nasser to begin his ag-
gression last June, which plunged
the whole region into war, with
the loss of thousands of lives.")
(By a vote of 76 to 7, the Knesset
adopted a resolution reiterating
the government's stand that only
direct negotiations between Israel
and the Afab states can lead to a
solution of the Middle East crisis.)
Eban told the Security Council
that it was Israel's "firm resolve
never to return to the danger and
vulnerability from which we have
emerged." He told the Council:
"This resolve will prevail over
every other consideration. To avoid
a return to any of the conditions
which prevailed on June 4 (the
day before the war erupted) is a
supreme national purpose, worthy
of every effort and any conse-
quence."
Eban was the first speaker
when the council resumed its
session Monday on the complaint
made by Egypt last week. A
procedural maneuver had de-

Eban referred to proposals that
the council authorize the secretary-
general to appoint a special Mid-
east representative to act as a
"channel of communication" be-
tween Israel and the Arab states.
He insisted that any such emissary
must not be given "discriminatory
directives" which would "preju-
dice" Israel's position. "It is our
absolute right," he said, "to ap-

A draft, handed in by the Soviet
Union, would authorize the secre-
tary-general to increase the num-
ber of cease-fire observers to 90
and to provide for the UN person-
nel additional technical and trans-
port facilities. While there may
be little opposition to such a step
here, it was noted that the Soviet
move would tie the cease-fire ob-
servation apparatus directly to the
Security Council, where any of the
reports from the force could be
rejected by the exercise of the
Soviet veto in the council.

but official sources disclosed that
the monarch's stand had hardened
during the course of his visit.

sein met with Secretary of State
