LONDON (JTA) — King Hussein of Jordan has called for the use of regular Arab troops in
support of Palestinian guerrillas active against Israel. the semi-official Cairo newspaper Al Ahram
reported Tuesday. The paper said that King Hussein, in Cairo for two days of consultations with
President Gamal Abdel Nasser, said it was "unfair to expect the commandos to liberate Israel-
occupied territory, although they are doing much."
The Jordanian ruler disclosed that troops of Syria. Iraq

reported that France handed a position
paper to Israel that no longer called for
complete Israeli withdrawal from the
occupied Arab territories.
The French paper, according to the
sources cited by Smith, spoke of "agreed
rectifications" or adjustments of the
1967 cease-fire line. "Although the
French paper thus moved toward Israel's
position on this point it fell short of Is-
raeli demands on a number of other key
issues and, according to well placed in-
formants, has been sharply rejected by
Israel," Smith wrote. He said Israeli
diplomats considered the French paper
"negative and hostile to Israeli interests
because it seemed to suggest two phased
negotiations requiring Israeli withdraw-
als before such fundamental problems as
the Arab refugee issue and the future
status of Jerusalem are settled."
The Israelis also objected to the
French failure to specify Israeli mari-
time rights in the Strait of Tiran and the
language of the paper "which employed
terms frequently used by the Arabs
not by Israel," he said. Smith said "the
U.S. reaction on the other hand has been
more favorable, though there is still a
considerable gap between the French
and American positions."
Reports reaching here from Beirut Monday said the new
right-leaning military regime in Syria was sharply critical
of the Soviet Union and was moving toward closer military
liaison with neighboring Iraq. According to. a Beirut dispatch
in the Manchester Guardian Monday, the new Syrian strong
man, Defense Minister Gen. Hafiz Assad, had agreed to the
stationing of about 6,000 Iraqi troops in Syria and may also
grant the Iraqi air force use of Syrian bases. According to
the dispatch by Guardian correspondent David Hurst. "Assad
has been vvorking for a rapprochement with Iraq for months."
He was interested in disposing of his chief rival, Gen. Saalah
Hadid, a left-wing, pro-Soviet isolationist, and the new align-
ment with the military regime in Iraq appeared to be one
way of doing so, Hurst reported.
The Daily Telegraph reported Monday that Gen. Assad
had accused the Soviets of interfering in Syria's internal
affairs. of inspiring policies detrimental to the country's
agriculture and economy, and of supplying Syria with obso-
lete and sub-standard military equipment. He also charged
Moscow with operating a Communist spy network in Syria
with money collected in Syria..
Foreign Secretary Michael Stewart informed an emis-
sary of Egypt's President Gamal Abdel Nasser that Btitain
reserved the right to supply arms to any country in the
Middle East, including Israel, unless and until an arms em-
bargo is placed on the region by the Big Powers. Mahinoud

Hebrew University's Arab Student Body Pleads
With Classmates: 'Don't Judge Us by Terrorist'
JERUSALEM(JTA) — Arab students at the Hebrew University asked their Jewish classmates and the
Israeli public Monday not to judge all Arabs by the acts of terrorists. The plea was made following the confes-
sion by two Israeli Arab students at the university that they were involved in the bombing of the library
cafeteria last week.
There are 170 Arabs presently :enrolled at the Hebrew University, 22 of them from the West Bailk and
the Gaza Strip and the rest Israeli Arabs. In their statement the Arab students praised the university as one of the
