Jordanians OK
to Cross River
on Family Visits

JERUSALEM (JTA) — Another
step to facilitate contacts between
West Bank residents and their
relatives in Jordan was announced
in the Knesset by Defense Minis-
ter Moshe Dayan. He said, in re-
ply to a question, that Jordanians
will be permitted to visit relatives
on the West Bank if those relatives
submit a request on their behalf.
There are already several requests
pending from Jordanians. Israeli
Arabs and Arabs living in Israel-
administered territories may visit
Jordan, Dayan said, for periods
of up to seven days if their visits
are private. No time limit is placed
on business visits.
(The Jordanian minister of re-
construction and development ac-
cused Israel of trying to force "the
trained and educated Arabs of
Gaza and the West Bank to leave"
and said Arab refugees were com-
ing to Jordan from Israeli-held
territory in a "continuing flow" of
4,000 to 5,000 monthly, the Chris-
tian Science Monitor reported from
Amman. The paper quoted the
minister as saying that "we must
find some way to prevent this.
Closing the Jordan bridges may be
the only answer." He complained
that the newcomers strained Jor-
dan's resources-)
Gen. Dayan warned that deposi-
tors in Jordanian banks in East
Jerusalem, closed by Amman au-
thorities since the June war, stand
to lose all but 10 per cent of their
money unless the banks are opened
soon. If not, he said, the banks
will be turned over to an official
receiver and 90 per cent of their
assets, held in Amman, will be
cut off. East Jerusalem business-
men have gone to Amman several
times in recent months to try to
arrange for the banks' re-opening
but have failed to reach an agree-
ment with the Jordanian au-
thorities.

Law Expert Absolves Israel of Charge of Aggression

LONDON (JTA) — Gen. de
Gaulle's "first shot" definition of
aggression which he attributed to
Israel in last June's Arab-Israeli
war, is not an acceptable defini-
tion of the term "aggression," an
expert in international law de-
clared here.

Prof. Arthur L. Goodhart, former
Master of University College, Ox-
ford, told members of the Anglo-
Israel Association attending his
lecture at the Royal Society of Arts
that Gen. de Gaulle's definition
would mean that "a man can do

forcibly closed the Strait of Tiran
to Israeli ships?"
Prof. Goodhart criticized the de-
cision of UN Secretary-General U
Thant to withdraw the United
Nations Emergency Force from
the frontier at Nasser's request
last May as "astonishing" and
said that the reasons subsequently
given by the Secretary-General
were "invalid and unconvincing."
He said that the implication of

State Dept. Staff Labeled Pro-Arab
by Newspaperman Drew Pearson

NEW YORK (ZINS) — Drew
Pearson, syndicated columnist, re-
vealed here that "almost all the
foreign service officers who work
on Middle Eastern affairs have
served in Arab countries and are
sympathetic to the Arab view-
point. Even the Israeli-desk offi-
cer, who handles the cables from
the American Embassy in Tel
Aviv, has a pro-Arab background.
"Until last year, the desk officer
was Michael Sterner, who studied
the Arabic language in Yemen,
served in Cairo and manned the
Egyptian desk at the State De-
partment before he was put in
charge of Israeli affairs. His suc-
cessor is Alfred Atherton Jr., who
has served in Syria and as country
director for Lebanon, Syria, Jordan
and Iraq before he was transferred
to the Israeli desk.
"The American ambassador in
Israel, Walworth Barbour, is sym-
pathetic toward Israel, but his
diplomatic dispatches have always
been processed by pro-Arab desk
officers.

PARIS (ZIN)—The Paris news-

ports that the French consulates
in Egypt, Iraq and Syria have
issued passports to the Jews of
those countries from which they
wished to leave. It also writes
that the French ministry of foreign
affairs had paid to the Arab gov-
ernments for each exit visa and,
in some cases, as much as $10,000
for an emigration permit. Till now
there has been no official con-
firmation, but it is known that a

TEL AVIV (JTA) — Special
identity cards will soon be issued
to West Bank residents and other
Israeli - administered territories,
Deputy Minister of Interior, Dr. I.
Ben-Meir told Jenin notables while
touring the West Bank.
The new cards will be distinct
from those of East Jerusalemites,
whose identity cards are the same
as all other Israelis, Ben-Meir
noted.
A population census was carried
out last year in Israeli-held areas.
Families who took part in the cen-
sus were given registration slips.
A bus service has been started
between the West Bank and Am-
man, without benefit of franchise
but also without interference from
Israeli or Jordanian authorities.
Some 7,000 West Bankers made
the round trip last week for which
the fare is one Jordanian dinar,
the equivalent of $2.80. The Mili-
tary Government of the West Bank
is issuing one-trip permits to the
busses on a day-to-day basis.
A new high school opened in
East Jerusalem Jan. 23 and two
more, one for boys and one for
girls, will open next week with a
total enrollment of more than
1,000 students.
The military government is fin-
ancing the operation of schools on
the West Bank which have an en-
rollment of 110,000 pupils com-
pared to 130,000 last year. Tuition
is free.
