He flew in from Jeru- salem after announcing a nuclear sales program for the Israelis to match a similar pledge to Egypt last week. "It is only the beginning of the journey for peace," Nixon told Jor- dan's King Hussein of his travels in the Mideast. AS HE has in other Arab capitals, Nix- on received from Hussein a catalogue of conditions for permanent peace be- e the Arabs and Israelis. Hussein told Nixon at a state dinner he wants Israeli withdrawal from the Jor- dan Valley, the return of Jerusalem to Arab sovereignty, restoration of the legi- timate rights of the Palestinians and an end to Israeli occupation of Arab lands. Nixon gave the same form of response he has given at other stops in his week of diplomatic hopscotch. "I WISH I could have brought a brief- - case fall of solutions," he told Hussein. Hesaid he didn't - although he spoke of unspecified "new developments that have reason to give us hope." "War is not a solution," Nixon said at the dinner after receiving cheers of wel- come from tens of thousands of Jordan- tans and Palestinians along his motor- cade route. "We must try another way, we must try the path of peace." Hussein laid down his conditions for a permanent Middle East settlemnent after wruing that if the U. S. initiative loses momentum "the days of no peace, no war, will be with us again in anpoten- tially more dangerous and explosive ... situation."

S. officials insisted that safeguards Council defeats Gay Pri*de Week during sormy session Nixon built into the agreement to be negotiated would prevent the conversion of the nu- clear material or technology to military use. They made the same promise in re- sponse to Israeli criticism of the Egyp- tian plan. The communique issued by Nixon and Rabin in Jerusalem also disclosed plans for a long-term military sales program with Israel, reportedly totaling $5.5 bil- lion over five years. Previous U. S. mili- tary sales to the Jewish state have been on a year-to-year basis. LIKE ITS NEIGHBOR across the Jor- dan River, Jordan has received exten- sive supplies of U. S. military hardware in the past. Much of it was at Amman airport in the tightest security shield Nixon has seen in the four Arab nations that formed the greater part of his Mid- dle East tour. As the presidential jet Spirit of '76 touched down, armored cars with light machine guns stood about the tarmac and tanks and heavy machine-gun em- placements were standing watch on hills overlooking the airport. Nixon and Hussein strolled down a red carpet beneath a low-flying formation of eight U. S.-built F104 jet fighters. The Jordanian honor guard passed in review carrying American M16 rifles as a band played John Phillip Sousa's "Washington Post March." AFTER THE airport ceremonies, Nix- on and Hussein. with their wives Pat and Queen Alin, rode in a motorcade to Am- man to be hailed by thousands of rhythmically chanting and applauding Jordanians, repeating on a smaller scale the greetings Nixon received earlier in Israel and three Arab countries-Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Syria. In his remarks later at the state din- ner, Hussein warned that if the U. S. initiative for peace loses momentum, "the days of no peace, no war will be See NIXON, Page 10 By CHERYL PILATE During a noisy session punctuated by frequent booing and verbal taunts from the audience, City Council last night de- feated 6-5 a resolution calling for the declaration of Gay Pride Week. The Republicans-who accounted for all six votes against the measure-sat quietly while members of the gay com- munity made rallying speeches and waved picket signs proclaiming "Deto- nate City Hall" and "Smash Straight, White, Male Rule." ABOUT 60 GAYS-many of them in drag-employed hand-clapping and foot- stomping to drown out Mayor James Stephenson as he explained that council meetings "should not be used as a forum for philosophical debate." The raucous demonstration forced the council to adjourn before the last item on the agenda was voted upon. The Gay Pride Week resolution was submitted by Human Rights Party (HRP) Councilwoman Kathy Kozachen- ko, a self-proclaimed lesbian. "IN THE PAST we have declared such occasions as Poison Prevention Week," she said. "Just think of this as Prevention of Homophobia Week." Two other measures pertaining to gays were also submitted by Koza- chenko. One of them-a resolution urging other communities to adopt legisaltion similar to Ann Arbor's human rights ordinance which prohiibts discriminaton on the basis of sexual preference-was passed 8-3 with Mayor Stephenson and Council- men Richard Hadler (R-Fourth Ward) and Louis Belcher (R-Fifth Ward) ac- counting for the no votes. ALTHOUGH Kozachenko termed the resolution merely a re-affirmation of the human rights ordinance, she ex- pressed surprise when three Repubti- cans cast their votes in favor of the measure. "I have always supported the human rights ordinance and I've never attempt- ed to amend it," said Councilman Rob- ert Henry (R-Third Ward). "I also sup- port this resolution." "I really don't think the Republicans would have voted for it if there hadn't been all these people here," Koza- chenko said. ANOTHER proposed resolution aimed at ceasing alleged police harrassment of gays was replaced by a Republican- sponsored motion which directed the city's grievance officer to study all in- cidents of alleged police abuse of homo- sexuals. Democratic opposition to the substitute resolution stemmed from the fact that See GAY, Page 10
