Observers Along Demarcation tine Discussed

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (JTA)
—A proposal to station United Na-
tions cease-fire observers along
the Israel-Jordan demarcation line
was under disco--eion behind closed
doors as the Secerity Council re-
cessed in its second emergency
session on the Middle East in the
last 10 days.
The call for an. emergency ses-
sion came from both Israel and
Jordan Friday following a day-
long artillery del. and air strikes
along an 85-mile front. Each ac-
cused the other of having started
the fighting.
The proposal for UN observers
to stem the recurrent violence
"from wherever it comes." was
made by the U S. renresentative,
Ambassador Art'eer J. Goldberg,
who warned that Ulm envoy Gunnar
Jarring's peace mission was in

grave jeopardy. Secretary General
U Thant told the 15-nation body
previously that it was "practically
impossible for me to report on de-
velopments" because there was
"no United Nations observation in
the area."
Ambassador Goldberg said that
without UN observer teams like
those that supervise the Israel-
Egypti an cease-fire line. there was
nothing to prevent incidents from
ef, caleting. He said Friday's fight-
ing might have been prevented or
have ended sooner if UN teams
had be'n on the spot.
Igrnel charged at the Security
Council that Jordan and Syria—
with active aid from Egypt and
Iraq—were collaborating inten-
sively in recruiting and training
terrorists for raids against Is-
rael, adding that the King Ilus-

sein regime had opened an office
in Amman for mass recruitment
of El Fatah raiders.
The charge, spelled out in detail,
was made by Joseph Tekoah, Is-
rael's permanent representative
here.
Asserting there has been con-
stant guerrilla attacks and Jor-
danian shooting across the Jordan
River, rtekoah said "The opera-
tions of the terrorist organization
are coordinated between the gov-
ernments of Egypt, Jordan. Syria
and Iraq." He asserted that El
Fatah members were being ex-
empted from regular army service,
that the Jordanian Arab Legion
encouraged terrorists to open fire
against Israel from army bases
and provided El Fatah with mili-
tary information about Israel, that
hundreds of Syrian army regulars
'had been transferred to terrorist
units in Jordan, that Iraq was
taking an active role in terrorist
acts and that a regular Egyptian
ermy unit had been transferred to
inet and founding members of the ioin guerrilla units in Jordan. He

Label Katz Hits Policy
of Membershin Quota
at New Orleans Center

NEW ORLEANS (JTA) — Label
A. Katz, honorary international
president of Bnai Bnith, announced
that he had resigned from mem-
bership in the New Orleans Jewish
Community Center in protest
against the adoption of a quota
membership policy fixing at 20
per cent the number of non-Jewish
members to be admitted. He de-
scribed the decision to establish a
quota as "un-JPwioh, un-American
and undemocratic."

Katz said in a statement that
he had supported a policy requir-
ing a person to be a Jew to be
eligible for membership in the
Center. However, he said, if two-
thirds of the general membership
had favored an open membership
policy, he could have supported it.
"provided all non-Jewish applicants
would be accepted, irrespective of
race, color or religion."
He pointed out that in 1966 ap-
proximately 20 per cent of the
members were non-Jewish, only
one family being Negro. The Cen-
ter froze its membership list in
1967 and conducted a study of
membership policy. concluding that
non-Jewish members could not be
accepted in excess of 20 per cent
in each category.
Katz protested that the decision
had not been submitted to the
membership. He declared that the
National Jewish Welfare Board had
actively participated in the dis-
cussions leading to the quota pol-
icy and "cannot disassociate it-
self from this action." Katz as-
serted that "other Jewish commu-
nity centers covertly engage in the
same practice, but no Jewish com-
munity center has been so bold
as to state it so baldly."

Knesset Eligibility
To be eligible for the Knesset
(Israel's parliament), a candidate
must be over 25 and a citizen of
Israel, There is no district resi-
dency requirement.
