and denounced any plan that would
cede Israel-held territory to the
Arabs. They argued that such a
plan would forestall peace and
bring a new war with the Arabs
nearer. A delegation representing
the group met with Gen. Allon
Tuesday.
Three Arab judges have re-
versed a ruling by one of their
colleagues in Hebron which
barred Israeli lawyers from ap-
pearing on behalf of clients in
West Bank courts. The three
judges, comprising the West
Bank court of appeal in Ramat
lab, ruled Monday rejecting the
Hebron magistrate's argument
that the six Arab lawyers on the
West Bank who have not joined
in the general strike of lawyers
were sufficient to handle the
case load.
In a related development, Jor-
danian authorities in Amman have
cut off stipends to civil servants on
the West Bank who up to now have
been drawing double salaries—one
from Jordan to maintain the fa-
cade of Hashemite sovereignty in
the occupied area and one from
Israel for work performed. Some
5,000 civil servants involved were
"dismissed" by Jordan.
All former Jordanian civil serv-
ants on the West Bank, numbering
about 12,000, have reportedly been
ordered by Amman to stop working-
for Israelis. The order is said to
affect teachers, doctors and nurses
paid -by both Israel and Jordan.
King Hussein has issued a royal
decree forbidding any form of
Arab cooperation with Israeli
authorities.
Israel has cautiously embarked
on an experiment that will permit
Jordanians and visitors from other
Arab countries to spend their sum-
mer vacations with relatives or
friends on the West Bank.
The first such visitors, Palestin-
ian students enrolled at Arab uni-
versities, crossed the Allenby
Bridge near Jericho Sunday.
According to Col. Shlomo Gazit,
director of the military govern-
ment department of the Israeli
general staff, "the experiment is
for one month only" and "after
we see how it works we will con-
sider the next batch" of applicants.
An initial total of 3,000 applications
out of some 10,000 have been ap-
proved for the first month. The
applications are made by West
Bank -residents.
Col. Gazit said that the visitors
would be permitted to visit Jerusa-
lem in accordance with the govern-
ment policy of guaranteeing free
access to the holy places and that
they might apply for permission
to travel throughout Israel. He said
that one of the aims of the experi-
ment was to let the vacationers
see for themselves that conditions
on the West Bank are far better
than reported in the Arab press.
Permission will not be granted their guests, and that if there were

visitors from Egypt, Syria and
Algeria, the countries that have
taken the most militant stands
against Israel.
Col. Gazit said that about 40
per cent of the applications re-
ceived to date are on behalf of
people living in Jordan, 20 per cent
on behalf of Arabs from Kuwait
and Saudi Arabia, and the rest for
Arabs in 20 other countries. He
said that the applicants would be
