tax to 5 per cent and reinstatement of a flat rate tax of 7 per
cent on financial institutions.

Israel Welcomes Call;
Arabs Describe Move
As Abject Surrender
UNhITED NATIONS (A') - With
Union nagremnt, the Secuity
Council called unanimously last
night for an immediate cease-fire
as a first step to end the Israeli-
Arab war.
I'sraeli Foreign Minister Abba
Eban, fresh from scenes of fight-
ing in Jerusalem, declared his
country welcomed the appeal. But
the first Arab reaction was to de-
nounce the cease-fire call as an
abjedt surrender to Israel.
"Israel welcomes the- appeal for

U.S. Response
U.S. Ambassador Arthur J. Gold-
berg hailed the resolution ap-
proved by the 15-nation council as
an initial advance toward peace
In the Middle East.
Goldberg denied vigorously Arab
charges that U.S. planes from car-
riers of the 6th Fleet In the Medi-
terranean had flown support of
Israeli military operations.
To disprove the charges, he
called for U.N. inquiry and invited
the United Nations to station ob-
servers aboard the carriers in the
fleet to report back to the inter-
national community on flight ope-
rations.
President Johnson interrupted
the televised meeting of the Coun-
cil last night with an appeal for
warring Mideast nations to accept
a U.N. Security Council-approved
cease-fire as the first step toward
"a new time of settled peace and
progress for all the people of the
Middle East."
Eba sidtht oran had ben

defense pact, which Eban said was
an aggressive pact.
