Upheavals Mark Arab Relationships

By The Associated Press
BRUSSELS - In a clash with
West Germany, France insisted
yesterday on doubling the list of
items to be exempt from 50 per
cent tariff cuts on industrial
goods when the Kennedy Round
of talks opens Monday in Geneva.
The dispute came at a meeting
of European Common Market
economics ministers.
The plan to cut tariffs designed
to free the flows of world trade'
was one of the late President John I
F. Kennedy's proposals, hence the
discussions are named after him.
"The French want to exclude
some 33 per cent of the trade in
products subject to tariffs," a
West German official said.
The European Common Market
commission was attempting to
save the negotiations from a dead.-
lock. The joint list of products
prepared by the executive com-
mission for the six countries
covers 12 per cent of trade with
non-member countries on items

subject to tariff.
The ministers agreed at last to
ask the commission to try to work
on a compromise bringing the list
of excluded products to 19 per
cent. West Germany said even this
would be too long. .
The Netherlands economics
minister, J. Andriessen, com-
plained there was little move-
ment toward any concessions but
the Dutch were willing to give and

"Both thea gre French and the Ger-
mans refuse all compromise at
present," the Italian delegate, Am-
bassador Antonio Venturine said.
"'We too have products to add to
the original list but are willing to
come to a compromise."
France and West Germany al-
ready are embroiled within the
six-nation Market because Ger-
many refuses to lower grain prices
in the line with the other nations.
The problem arises because Ger-
many's farm prices, supported by

government subsidy, are higher
than those in France, Paris has
insisted that Bonn reduce the
prices, at least part way, and has
indicated that it might withdraw
from the Common Mar'ket's activi-
ties if there is no settlement.
The market is trying to get to-
gether before it meets with the
United States and other major
world traders in Geneva. The
traders have agreed to say what
items they are willing to see the
tariff cut 50 per cent and what
items they want to see exempt.
The items to be left out are de-
tailed by each participant in a
"list of exceptions" deposited in
Geneva with the organization
called the General Agreement on
Tariffs and Trade - GATT.

A basic list of 210 items has
been prepared by the Common
Market Executive Commission. It
would exempt from tariff cuts 12
per cent of the total Market im-
ports that now bear tariffs.
This figure would rise to 40
per cent if other items proposed
by five of the members were add-
ed to the commission list.-
While the United States is ex-
pected to accept the present 12
per cent list as a basis for nego-
tiations, a 40 per cent cut is de-
scribed as out of the question.
Against Additions
West Germany argued yester-
day against additions to the com-
mission's list. Germany as the
community's biggest industrial
exporter, has the biggest stake in
a successful Kennedy Round.

In these circumstances the
West Germans would in effect be
making the Common Market ask
for a postponement of the Nov.

get a better break in an end-of-

All have their problems as they

Arab world but bound to have
repercussions outside that feudal-

Sir El Khatim El Khalifa has pro-
claimed a policy of neutralism,
but the former dictator-president,

policy of neutrality, has been hav-

Ben Bella Challenge
But there is no apparent chal-

Bella, who is on friendly rela-
tions with the Chinese Commun-
ists and the Cuban regime of Fi-

Despite its internal difficulties,
Yemen is battling the British-
supported South Arabia Federa-

port of the Arab League nations,,
which bring constant pressure on
Britain at the United Nations on
the issue.
Dspite a United Nations Secur-

a peaceu soution of the po-
clashes between Yemenl and Brit-
ish patrols along the border of
Aden, which Yemen claims is part I
of its territory.
Despite individual differences
the Arab League is united in oppo-
sition to Israel. The biggest issue
right now is Israel's project for

diverting waters of the Jordan
river to irrigate the Negev desert.
At the summit conference of
Arab nations in Alexandria in
September It was decided to go
ahead with projects in Syria and
[Lebanon that would also tap the
Jordan waters before they reach
Israel.
The Arabs moved cautiously in
view of Israel's declaration that
any significant Interference with
~the water supply would be regard-
ed as equivalent to a military at-
tack.
Israel has complained to the
United Nations that decisions tak-
en at Alexandria were aimed at
liquidating Israel as a state. The
Arabs accused Israel of distorting
the decisions taken at the Alex-
andria meeting, but they have not
relented in their bitter denuncia-
tion of Israel -- tIlus far only
amounting to a war of words.

VATICAN CITY--A qualified
source said yesterday a phrase
clearing Jews of any implication
of deicide (God-killing) in the
crucifixion of Jesus Christ has
been restored to the Vatican Ecu-
menical Council's Declaration on
JThe phrase is expected to be
voted upon next week, though
promulgation is not likely before
1965 or 1966.
A member of the Vatican's
Christian Unity Secretariat com-
mented: "I think it is much
stronger than even the first draft
of two years ago."
This news followed action by
the council in accepting a much-
criticized schema on nuns and
religious orders for voting without
revision by a commission.
LONDON-Prime Minister Hiar--
old Wilson intends to ask Presi-
dent Lyndon B. Johnson's support
for a vast new system of interna-
tional credit, British informants
reported last night.
The plan being shaped up by
the Labor government alms at
staving off what Wilson sees as
the peril of a world slump.
The Wilson initiative for im-
proved world fiscal cooperation is
shaping up at a critical moment
in Britain's own economic situa-
tion. Soon after taking of fice in
mid-October the Labor govern-
ment slapped a 15 per cent sur-

United States and France are all
sending their foreign ministers.
United States Secretary of State
Dean Rusk is coming up from
Washington Nov. 30 to stay ten
or 12 days and talk with other
ministers in New York for the
session.
The Assembly's general policy
debate, in which foreign ministers
participate, is tentatively set to
open Dec. 3.
The United States has put it-
self down to speak second in the
general debate, right after Bra-
zil, Dec. 3.
President Lyndon B. Johnson
may arrive later. He told Secre-
tary-General U Thant in Wash-
ington last August he would like
to attend the Assembly if the
voters kept him in office.
The British say their new prime
minister, Harold Wilson, will at-
tend the Assembly "if he is in-
vited." He and Johnson both seem
more likely to show up in Jan-
uary than in December. As gov--
ernment leaders, they can speak
when they like.
Debate Communist China
By request of Cambodia backed
by some African countries, the
Assembly will debate whether to

seat Communist China in place of
Nationalist China.
The debate is sure to produce a
lot of talk about the atomic ex-
plosion the Chinese Communists
set off Oct. 16. The explosion will
be used as an argument both for
and against taking the Chinese
Reds in. It seems unlikely to
change more than a few votes, if
it changes any.
Other factors-big-power pres-.
sure, diplomatic activity by the
two Chinese governmnents and the
entry of new members with fixed
policies into the United Nations-
probably will reduce the margin
against the Communists from last
year's 31 votes to 12 votes or less.
But the change will not be big
enough to bring them in.
92 Items on Agenda
The Chinese issue is one of 92
items on the Assembly's agenda.
Communist China is sure to be
mentioned in the debates on some
of the other items.
The Philippines, El Salvador
and Nicaragua are getting the
Assembly to debate charges that
Communist China violates human
rights in Tibet. India is pushing
the subject of checking the spread
of nuclear weapons,

Faisal and the brother he de-
posed, the ailing King Saud, have
been at odds for a long time. The
new king is described as reform-
minded, and wanting to spend the
