the "entire Arab nation" as well
as the representative of Jordan.
Egyptian President Anwar Sadat
sent Hussein an urgent appeal to
"put a final end" to animosity
between the Jordanian army and
the Paletsinian guerrillas, Al Ah-
ram, the Cairo newspaper, report-
ed. The note said further fighting
in Jordan "continues to drain the
eastern front at a time when the
moment of decision is approaching
with the end of the current cease-
fire period."
Sadat also sent messages to
leaders of Syria, Libya and Sudan
calling for joint federation action
to solve the Jordanian problem.
Political sources said the French
government is trying to cultivate
the moderate Arab states, such as
Jordan, after being disappointed in
its attempts to court the more ex-
tremist governments.
Earlier, U.S. Secretary of State
William P. Rogers advised the
Senate Foreign Relations Commit-
tee that the proposals for resump-
tion of the Jarring peace talks
were "very good" and that there
was "a glimmer of hope for a set-
tlement." But the committee chair-
man, Sen. J. W. Fulbright, Demo-
crat of Arkansas, disagreed, ob-
serving that the prospects "don't
appear to be as good as a year
ago."
Secretary Rogers testified as the
committee opened hearings on the
administration's military assist-
ance recommendations, which in-
clude $500,000,000 for Israel, $30,-
000,000 for Jordan and $5,000,000
for Lebanon.
Asked by Sen. Jacob K. Javits,
New York Republican, whether
the U.S. was taking sufficient ac-
tion against "Russians cheating"
in the Middle East and whether it
was keeping its "deal" with Is-
rael, Rogers replied that the U.S.
was pursuing a "wise" policy in
the Mid East.
He said Washington has "work-
ed very closely with Israel" on
the matter of her defenses, and
that "the thrust of our effort" is
to resume peace negotiations and
seek a "reasonable settlement."
Regarding an eventual peace
treaty, Rogers said, that "We are
going to play a large'role in this
settlement—not in imposing a
settlement but in getting one."

Secretary Rogers said he favored
the administration's aid recommen-
dations for Israel, Jordan and Le-
banon in order to help "friendly
governments in the Middle East
preserve their independence and
integrity." In addition, he said, the
U.S. wants to help relieve Israel's
"impossible financial burden,"
and is thus providing her with ma-
teriel, "some at concessionary
rates."
The House of Representatives
Dec. 10, approved the $500,000,-
000 In additional aid to Israel.
In support of this measure, Con-
gressman William Broomfield of
Oakland County commented:
"The $500,000,000 in aid to Israel
which this bill appropriates is es-
sential to the continuation of that
balance of power.
"There can be no military reso-
lution of this conflict; our only
hope is for a political settlement
of the territorial dispute, agreed
upon in negotiations between both
parties.
"I can assure you, Mr. Speaker,
that the Arab nations will be quite
willing to seek a diplomatic solu-
tion if they realize that they will
never be able to wipe out our ally
in a single attack.
"We must insure that Israel is

He added: "The Arabs have prov-

sure, however: no Arab nation is
going to risk another Six-day war
with Israel unless It has a com-
manding superiority in arms. We
can deny them that superiority

peace in the Mid East and we will
be guaranteeing the security of
our most Democratic, most stal-
