Israel Cabinet Crisis Averted

(Continued from Page 1)
ported that the Saudians were
exerting pressure on the 'U.S.
through American oil companies
operating in Saudi Arabia.
The Foreign Ministry said that
Israel informed the U.S. that Tiran
had been captured from Egyptian
forces during the Six-Day War and
is vital to Israel's security as are
other occupied Arab territories in
the absence of a formal peace
agreement. Egypt's closing of the
Tiran Straits last May was the
immediate cause of the Six-Day
War.
No strikes or demonstrations oc-
cm.red in East Jerusalem or in
any West Bank towns May 15
despite widely circulated leaflets
exhorting Arabs to protest on the
20th anniversary of Israel's inde-
pendence, according the Gregorian
calendar. In Ramallah, where a
'otest strike was organized on
`ay 2, Israel's anniversary ac-
')rding to the Hebrew calendar,
ousinesses opened earlier than
usual and the town council held
its regular session. Ramallah
Arabs who temporarily lost their
travel privileges as a result of the
May 2 demonstration were ap-
parently eager to show that they
had no intention of violating the
rules this time. In some West
Bank towns, however, large num-
bers of students stayed out of
school.
(But if the situation was virtu-
ally normal in the occupied re-
gions, it was not so in the various
Arab capitals. The Times of
London reported from Beirut that
some 5,000 students paraded
through the streets, demanding that
Lebanese Prime Minister Adbullah
Yafi provide arms for villages
near the Israel border. Yafi told
the demonstrators that "we are
ready to sacrifice ourselves for
Palestine," the Times dispatch
said.. In Amman, according to the
newspaper, lawyers took five-
minute recesses in courts as a
gesture of protest. In all Arab
countries, citizens observed min-
utes of silence and Israel was
denounced in special radio pro-
grams, in school lectures and in
newspapers which appeared with
black borders. In Baghdad, the
Times said, commando organiza-
tions held rallies. In Amman, Pre-
mier Bahjat Talhouni called for
unity and sacrifice in an "historic
confrontation" with Israel. Most
A r a b commando organizations
issued proclamations rejecting a
peaceful settlement with Israel.
El Fatah pledged to continue the
struggle until the "Zionist occupa-
tion" was liquidated, "militarily,
socially, politically and economic-
ally," the Times reported.)
West Bank Arab leaders held
a closed meeting in Nablus to try
to map a common stand on the
future of the occupied region. But

their opinions were so divergent
that no concrete proposals were
, expected to emerge from the meet-
ing, according to observers here.
The meeting was called following
the return from Amman of Mayor
Hamdi Canaan of Nablus.
About all ,the principals can
agree on is that Israel should
withdraw from the West Bank and
most have expressed that opinion
before. But differing views were
reported on what should happen
after an Israeli withdrawal. Some
of the Arab leaders favor an
autonomous Palestinian state in
the area. Others want re-unifica-
tion with Jordan and still others
favor a passive policy while Israel
and the Arab states resolve their
conflict„one way or another.

2 Dead, 5 Hurt Near Gaza
as Jeep Hits a Mine

(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)

TEL AVIV—Two veteran mem-
bers of Kibutz Nahal Oz were
killed Tuseday, and five were in-
jured, three seriously, when their
jeep struck a mine on a road which
is in daily use. The mine was the
sixth planted in the settlement,
which is east of the town of Gaza,
in recent weeks. One of the in-
jured persons was hurt by a mine
two months ago while driving a
tractor.
Israeli authorities imposed a cur-
few in Gaza's eastern suburbs, and
security forces were searching for
the marauders. The Arabs had set
fire to a Wheat field which was
nearing harvest time, possibly to
attract the Kibutz members to the
field and death by mining. The
jeep hit the mine as the seven
members were returning home
after dousing the blaze.
Four Arab saboteurs were killed
and a fifth was captured in a clash
with an Israeli patrol in an orange
grove north of Jericho Monday. An
Israeli bedouin civilian employe of
the army was killed and three
Israelis were wounded in the en-
counter, a military spokesman re-
ported Tuesday..The Israelis seized
four rifles, a submachine gun, 22
explosive charges, eight hand-gre-
nades and bazooka shells.
A military spokesman reported
that Jordanians opened fire Tues-
day morning on Israeli units south
of the Damiya Bridge and later on
fired on Israelis further north. The
fire was returned in both cases. No
casualties were reported.
Jordanian machine-gunners fired
Monday morning at an Israel po-
lice car and at a tractor working
the fields of Neveh Urr, a Beisan
Valley settlement. Israel returned
the fire. No Israelis were injured.
Four Israelis in a civilian pickup
truck fought off a group of El
Fatah marauders who tried to
ambush them near the villiage of
Fiq on the Golan Heights, again
with no casualties. The Arabs
hurled grenades at them.
Israeli authorities have obtained
evidence that El Fatah terrorists
had planned to attack the May 2
Independence Day parade in Jeru-
salem. The capture of a gang near
Ramallah disclosed that its mem-
bers had instructions to attack the
rear guard of the parade, which
was witnessed by an estimated
600,000 persons. The attack was
called off when the gang leader
was arrested.
An Israeli armored border po-
lice car was fired on from the
Jordanian side of the demarcation
line near Kfar Ruppin in the Beisan
Valley Sunday morning, a military
spokesman reported. The fire was
returned and the car continued on
its patrol. There were no casual-
ties. The incident was not con-
sidered serious inasmuch as Arab
villagers were seen working their
fields again Monday in an area in
Jordan that they had previously
evacuated. In general, military
authorities believe that this sec-
tion of the Israel-Jordan cease-fire
line will be relatively quiet for the
time being. Villagers began re-
turning last week to Shuneh, a
hamlet on the East Bank of the

Jordan River facing the Beisan
Valley, which the El Fatah took
over several months ago as a base
for operations against Israel. The
El Fatah have since withdrawn
and the villagers began to return
to their homes and resumed culti-
vation of their fields. Last Friday
night Israeli observers on the West
Bank noted that Shuneh was illum-
inated for the first time in months.
(A Communist Party newspaper
claim that Israel has designs on
the territory of Lebanon was pub-
lished in the Moscow Pravda,
which accused Israel of attacking
a Lebanese village last week after
"a campaign of threats and in-
timidation" against the Beirut
government. The allegation was
contained in an article by Kon-
stantin Visnevetsky, quoted in the
Review of the Soviet Press dis-
tributed at the United Nations by
the Soviet Mission. According to
the writer, "on a map of a 'future
Israel' published by the Zionists
as far back as 1919, the south of
Lebanon was cut off and included
in the 'Jewish state.' Perhaps Tel
Aviv has now decided that the
time has come to carry out this
aggressive plan.")
Glubb Pasha's Son A Chip
Off the Old Pro-Arab Block
LONDON (JTA)—The son of Sir
John Barggot Clubb (Glubb
Pasha), the British general who
organized the Jordan Arab
Legion and commanded it in the
1949 war against Israel, has be-
come the most shrill Arab propa-
gandist on the Amman radio, ac-
cording to a report published here
in News of the World. Young
Faris Glubb was hired as 'a free
lance correspondent by Amman
radio and graduated to political
programs, the paper said, and has
become "more Arab than the
Arabs."

Macmillan Issues Its New Bible Atlas

Two archaeologists at Hebrew
University in Jerusalem have pre-
pared a comprehensive Bible atlas
covering events described in the
old and New Testaments, as well
as relevant historical data from
3000 BCE to 150 CE.
"The Macmillan Bible Atlas,"
published by Macmillan Company,
contains 262 detailed color maps,
accompanied by text and illustra-
tions. The maps, which are pre-
sented chronologically are corre-
lated to germane Bible passages
and other historical documents.
The authors, Yohanan Aharoni
and Michael Avi-Yonah, both Bible
scholars, prepared the book in co-
operation with an outstanding Is-
raeli cartographic firm. Drawing
on the most up-to-date Biblical,
historical a n d archaeological

knowledge and research, they have
illustrated in full detail the bat-
tles, deployment of armies, con-
quests and settlements described
in the Bible.
