in Amman Sunday after Hussein
formed a new military - civilian gov-

weeks ago.
Although guerrilla resistance
was reportedly broken in the capi-
tal and Husein's forces succeeded
in driving Syrian armored.invasion
forces out of northern Jordan, the
Palestinians apparently still exert-
ed some leverage.
In a taped televesion interview
broadcast, by the BBC, Hussein
castigated Syria which intervened
on the guerrilla side last week.
"Syria's intervention was unpar-
donable," he said. "They left their
frontier with Israel open and sent
their tanks into Jordan to fight
us," he said.
Holiday Values Depicted in Jewish Art at Church
NEW YORK. (JTA)—The spiri-
tual values of the Jewish holidays
are depicted in montage and paint-
ings by seven artists that will be
exhibited to the public until Oct.
9 at the Interchurch Center in
Manhattan. The exhibit was com-
missioned by Sam Sobel, founder
,and president of the American

which Jordan had when the
fighting broke out last week.
Although he declined to specify
whether the U.S. might supply
more jet fighters, he noted that
the U.S.. had previously supplied
Jordan with F-104 jets.
Packard, in his interview with
newsmen, also stated that "cheat.
ing" by the Soviet Union along
the Suez Canal during the cease
fire, which involved movement of
missiles in the -stand still zone,
called for a reappraisal of Soviet
intentions that could affect other
potential agreements.
"If you can't have an agreement
where people go ahead in good
faith, it raises questions whether
you can have an agreement on
anything else," he said.
Packard also noted that Israel's
massing of strong armored forces
near the Jordan-Syria border has

West Bank Arabs, who made no

Palestinian guerrillas battling Hus-

civil war, were shocked by the
announcement that Ahmed Tou-
quan accepted the appointment of'
premier in King Hussein's new
civilian government.
Touquan has anti-Hussein rela-
tives in Nablus. His sister, Fadoua
Touquan, is a Palestinian zealot

According to neighbors, she shut
herself in her flat saying she was
mortified by the news from Am-

He said it was his opinion
that Israel would welcome a
strengthening of Jordan's defen-
sive powers since it is is in Is-
rael's interest to have a "stable
country on that side of the line."
Packard expressed criticism of
U.S. allies in Europe for failing
to help police Middle East affairs.
"The Middle East and its oil is
much more important to Europe
than it is to us," he asserted.
He said he personally supported
a proposal made recently in a
Chicago newspaper to let NATO
have a role in policing the Middle
East but doubted this proposal
would find much support.

Israeli Govt. 'Supplies 145 Tons
of Food for Victims of Civil War
JERUSALEM (JTA) — A 19-
truck convoy carrying 145 tons
of food supplied by the Israel gov-
ernment for the victims of Jordan's
civil war crossed the Allenby
Bridge Sunday into Jordan.
The trucks, whose drivers are
West Bank Arabs, carried among
other items 80 tons of flour, 35
tons of sugar, 25 tons of oil and
five tons of powdered milk.
Defense Minister Moshe Dayan,
who was at the bridge to watch
the trucks roll into Jordan, said
the mere fact that the Jordanian
authorities accepted the gift from
Israel indicated that they were
appreciative.
He said more food supplies would
be donated if needed.
Gen. Dayan also ordered Israeli
guards on the Jordan River spans
to admit any Jordanian civilians
coming to Israel for medical treat-
ment. Israeli hospitals were pre-
pared to admit wounded civilians
brought over from Jordan, he told
a group of . West Bank residents
who were preparing to go to Jor-
dan to visit relatives for the first
time since civil war broke out in
the Jordanian kingdom.
Gen. Dayan said Israel was per-
mitting movement from the West
Bank and expressed the hope that
normal trade would soon resume
between the West and East banks.
Beautician's classes, once a
rarity in Israel, have become one
of the major trends in the network
of vocational high schools for girls

the new undersecretary of state,
John N. Irwin II, to take charge

The aim of the replacement pro-

There was some hint here
that the U.S. would provide Jor-

Packard suggested that weapons
