Asylum-Seeking Terrorists Condemn El Fatah
(Continued from Page 1)
Hussein, though he vowed in
Zerqa, Jordan, to support Arab
commando activities against Is-
rael, has mounted a new drive
aimed at ousting the fedayeen
from north Jordan.
Israeli observers on the West
Bank reported seeing Arab Legion-
aires in jeeps and armored cars
criss-crossing the Jordan Valley
in search of guerrilla bands. Jor-
danian infantry was routing ter-
ritorists out of hiding places in
fields and orange groves, accord-
ing to Israeli sources.
The mass surrenders were on
the agenda of Sunday's cabinet
meeting, an extra-long session that
heard reports from Defense Min-
ister Moshe Dayan and Army Chief
Of Staff Haim Bar Lev. Details of
the reports have been classified
and publication of information is
forbidden under penalty of law.
It is clear to observers here
that this latest development
along the Jordanian frontier has
`created a headache and poten-
tial embarrassment for Israeli
authorities. The surrendering
terrorists pose problems. They
must be quartered, fed and
heavily guarded since most are
highly trained in terrorist and
sabotage techniques. Yet, deny-
ing them entry to Israel would
mean delivering them to almost
certain death at the hands of
Hussein's troops. Reports from
Amman told of mass executions
of guerrillas, many of whom
were reportedly flushed out of
hiding places with gas bombs.
The Israel government wants to
avoid any act that might be inter-
preted as interfering in Jordan's
internecine fighting. On the other
hand, it does not want to inhibit
Hussein's drive against the ter-
rorists. This has been going on
since the Jordanian civil war last
September, and it has taken con-
siderable pressure off Israel's long
frontier with Jordan. Once-daily
rocket, artillery and mortar bom-
bardments of Israeli settlements
in the Beisan and Jordan valleys
have become a rare occurrence.
An Israeli patrol Sunday en-
circled a band of 16 terrorists
crossing the Jordan River and or-
dered them to surrender. The ter-
rorists laid down their arm, which
included automatic rifles, hand
grenades and a machine gun, and
became willing captives. The fact
that they carried no food or explo-
sives satisfied the Israeli com-
mander that they were not on a
sabotage mission but were fleeing
Hussein's troops.
Seventeen armed Arab terror-
ists fleeing Jordan surrendered
to Israeli forces Monday bringing
to 80 the number that have laid
down their arms and begged
asylum in Israel since Saturday.
The terrorists have been surren-
dering in small groups or individ-
ually, carrying white flags. Most
were carrying fire-arms and gren-
ades although some dumped their
weapons to make flight easier.
Reports from Amman said King
Hussein's forces were "mopping
up" in northern Jordan. Guerrilla
bands have been encircled near
Kureima and Karameh, the latter
once the terrorist stronghold in
Jordan.
Baghdad radio announced that
in support of the Palestinian com-
mandos, Iraq was severing diplo-
matic relations with Jordan and
closing its border with that coun-
try.
The J o r d a n i a n government
charged that some of the guerril-
las surrendering to Israeli forces
were "Israeli agents."
In Beirut, a guerrilla spokesman
said that "criminal and treach-
erous acts" by the Jordanian
army had "forced a number of
commandos to cross Into occupied
territory to face the Zionist enemy
rather than such treacherous ac-
tions."

Govt. Seeks to Curb Illegal Strikes
as Israel Reels From Work Stoppages
JERUSALEM (JTA) — With al-
most 21,000 Israeli workers en-
gaged in various forms of strikes,
stopages and slowdowns, Labor
Minister Joseph Almogi proposed
4, .,;'- 41 two bills Monday night designed
to curb what he called "illegal"
‘)S.,-
strikes.
The proposals were made at a
meeting of the Labor alignment
- which, with the exception of the
Mapam faction, supported the
, :ineasures.
One of Almogi's bills would per-
:emit no strikes during a period:of
"Collective agreement: Any -. dis-
pute- would have to be;• settled
through mediation or binding arbi-
tration. The other bill deals with
strikes after collective agreements
have expired.
Mapam has indicated its opposi-
Con to both measures. Yitzhak Ben
Aharon, secretary general of His-
tadrut, Israel's labor federation, is
yet to make his stand clear.
The labor picture in Israel was
far from bright. Some 15,000
employes of the sick fund ad-
ministrative and medical auxil-
ry staff have adopted The prac-
of working their required
hours without breaks, which
means that clinics and: pharma-
cies close by mid-afternoon, pre-
venting many patients from re-
ceiving treatment or prescrip-
tions.
About 3,500 employes of govern-
ment hospitals whose strike last
month was ended by a back-to-
work- order from the Knesset, re-
newed it Monday when the order
was canceled. The hospitals were
expected to feel the effects in a
'day or two.
At the same time, 1,000 physi-
cians employed by government
hospitals are refusing to work in
outpatient clinics which have been
shut down as a consequence.
A partial—afternoon—strike by
120 International Telex and Cable
Exchange workers disrupted over-
seas communications for 7 1/2 hours.
of the surrendered terrorists were
members of El Fatah, the largest
of the Palestinian guerrilla groups
and that some belonged to the
Popular Front for the Liberation
of Palestine, a more extreme group
headed by Dr. George Habash..
Defense Minister Moshe Dayan
asked several of the captives why
they fled to Israel and not to Syria.
The reply was that the Syrian bor-
der was blocked and, anyway it
was "safer in Israel."
The commandos reportedly
pleaded with Dayan to let them
stay, promising to "do every-
thing we are told, even join the
Israel army." Sources here said
that "competent authorities"
would decide the fate of the sur-
rendered terrorists whom Is-
rael regards as civilians, not
prisoners of war.
An Arab terrorist was wounded
and captured Monday in an en-
counter with an Israeli army patrol
in the Jebaliya refugee camp in
the Gaza Strip. He was shot after
ignoring warnings to identify him-
self and attempting to escape.
Saboteurs demolished a high-ten-
sion pylon in the Arava region of
the Negev north of Groffit settle-
ment Sunday night. No casualties
were reported. The saboteurs were
believed to be infiltrators from
Jordan.
Eight terrorists crossed in-
to Israeli territory from Jordan
Tuesday and gave themselves up.
Three of them, including one in-
jured man, surrendered at El Ham-
ma after crossing the Yarmouk
River from north Jordan into the
Golan Heights. The others sur-
rendered in the Jordan Valley.
Official sources said the govern-
ment was still considering what
to do with the terrorists who be-
came voluntary captives.
Retraining Suggested for Social Science Graduates
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Labor
Minister Yosef Almogi said that
Israel has a plethora of graduates
in the humanities and social
sciences entering the country as
immigrants and suggested that
retraining programs were the
only viable solution to the problem.
Almogi spoke at commencement
exercises at the Hebrew Univer-
sity's Paul Baerwald School of
Social Work at which 23 new immi-
grants were awarded degrees. All
had completed a 13-month intensive
course at the school.
Almogi said that 40 per cent of
recent immigrants were profes-
sionals, with a substantial number
holding degrees in the social
sciences and humanities. This adds
up, he said, to an oversupply of
Science and Ignorance

Meanwhile, a strike of 300 postal
