Arabs carry the body of Anwar Nusseibeh. His funeral turned
into a nationalist demonstration, as some mourners shouted
anti-Israel and anti-Jewish slogans.

Ex-Jordanian Official
Anwar Nusseibeh Dies

Tel Aviv (JTA) — Anwar
Zaki Nusseibeh, a leading
Palestinian moderate who
maintained close ties with
both Jordan and top Israeli
figures,. died in Jerusalem
Nov. 22, after a long illness.
He was 73 years old. A
former Jordanian defense
minister, Nusseibeh came
from a prominent Jerusalem
family. He was born and edu-
cated in Jerusalem and
studied law at Cambridge
University.
Nusseibeh had served in
many posts in Arab organiza-
tions, beginning in the Arab
Office in London in 1945, and
two years later as secretary
of the Arab National Com-
mittee, set up in 1947 to suc-
ceed the Mandatory govern-
ment in Palestine. He helped
organize the Arab defense of
Jerusalem in 1948 and lost a
leg in the fighting.
He served as the Jordanian
governor of East Jerusalem
from 1961 to 1962, and as
Jordan's ambassador to Lon-
don from 1965 to 1967.
After the Six Day War,
Nusseibeh conducted secret
talks between Israel and Jor-
dan on the future of the West
Bank and maintained con-
tacts with a wide range of Is-
raeli leaders, including
Moshe Dayan and Jerusalem
Mayor Teddy Kollek.
Late in the 1970s Nus- •
seibeh appeared disillusioned
With Jordan, feeling the King
Hussein was indifferent to
the West Bank Palestinians.
From being a staunch sup-
porter of Hussein he came to
sympathize with the PLO
which lost him the Jordanian
monarch's support. Nus-
seibeh's last official position
was as board chairman of the
Arab East Jerusalem Electric
Co.
Nusseibeh was on record as
saying he felt the biggest
Arab failure was missing the

opportunity to establish a
Palestinian state in 1948,
proposed in the United Na-
tions partition resolution,
alongside the Jewish State of
Israel.

Court Urged
On Rights Law

New York (JTA) — The
Anti-Defamation League of
B'nai B'rith asked the U.S.
Supreme Court to uphold the
rights of Jews and Arabs to
seek protection against racial
discrimination under the fed-
eral Civil Rights Act of 1866.
The league urged the court to
reject arguments that the
statute only applies to mem-
bers of a non-white race.
The ADL filed an amicus
curiae (friend of the court)
brief covering two cases to be.
heard in tandem by the high
court. In one — Shaare Tefila
Congregation vs. John
William Cobb — a Maryland
synagogue used the act to in-
itiate legal proceedings
against vandals who desec-
rated it with Nazi and other
racist symbols. In the other
— Saint Francis College
(Loretto, Pa.) vs. Majid
Ghaidan Al-Khazraji — an
Arab college professor
charged, under the same sta-
tute, that he was denied te-
nure because of racial dis-
crimination.
The U.S. Fourth Circuit
Court of Appeals ruled
against the Shaare Tefila
Congregation of Silver
Spring, Md., on the grounds
that Jews are not members of
a "racially distinct group ...
commonly considered to be
. non-white." The Third Circuit
Court of Appeals upheld Mr.
Al-Khazraji's claim.
