Air Force Cites Code
In Toth Habeas Fiqht
BY the Associufed Press

The Air Force says it has au-
thority to transport a former
serviceman to a foreign country
for trial under the new military
justice code-and the armed
forces have had such power for
80 years.
The Air Force advanced this
view in a 92-page brief filed yes
terday in the case of former
Sergt. Robert w. 10th. It asked
the United States Circuit Court
of Appeals to dismiss a writ of
habeas corpus issued by a lower
court last summer.
10th. %, had been honorably
discharged from the Air Force
and was working in a Pittsburgh
steel mill last May when he was
arrested by Air Force Military
Police. He was flown to Korea to
face a court-martial trial on
charges of numbering a South
Korean civilian.
The U. S. District Court for
the District of Columbia later
ordered 10th returned to this
country. Judge Alexander Holtz-
of issued a writ of habeas
corpus on September 3, but
stayed its effectiveness pending
the Air Forces appeal.

Informants said Mr.. Eden as
serted the Israel attack Wednes-
day night endangered the peace
of the Middle East, and recalled
a 1850 declaration pledging the
integrity of existing frontiers
in the region.
Mid-EaSt Review Awaited.
The ministers decided to dis
cuss the matter again during to-
days review of all Mid-East
questions, including the Iran
ian oil problem and the long
British = Egyptian negotiations
over the future of the Suez
Canal zone.
AS the Iranian oil issues came
up, rumors circulated in Britain
that the London government
already has contacted the new
Iranian regime headed by Pre-
mier Fazollah Zahedi in a bid to
get oil started flowing again
from the noW-nationalized con-
cesSionS of the Anglo -Iranian
Oil Co.
On Trieste, the ministers had
before them Yugoslav President
Tito's proposal for an American,
British, Italian, YugoSlav parley
on the future of the whole free
territory.
Despite their reported agree
ment to stand on the previous
decision to turn over Zone Ain
cluding the port city of Trieste
to Italy, they were said to have
decided that British-American
occupation troops must stay in
the zone until tempers cool.
The original idea was for the
1000 allied troops to withdraw
by about the end of November.
Advice to Italy Delayed.
The ministers held over a de-
cision, however, on whether to
advise Italy to give up her claims
on Zone B of Trieste, which
Yugoslavia now occupies. This
would mean formal remuneration
of the British French
1948 declaration favoring return
of the whole free territory to
Italy. Such a move might bring
weakened Italian support for
Allied foreign policies.
The ministers also did not de-
eide how to cope with Marshal
Tito'S threats to march into

equally critical of Jordan.
A Foreign Office spokesman
said Israel expected that the

will address their attention to
the nightly incursions from
Jordan into Israel by armed
bands perpetrating brutal mur-
ders, attacking traffic and COM
pletely undermining security of

Israeli newspapers have ex-
planned last Wednesdays raid on
the Jordan border village of
Kibya as a reprisal for the kill
ing of a woman and two children
on the Jewish side of the border
earlier this week.
The Foreign Office spokesman
told neWSmen the Big Three
should look into "the intoler-
able course and state of affairs
along the Israel-Jordan border

unwillingness or inability of the
Jordan authorities to stem this

y. 5. Believed Ready
To Blame Israel
For Attacks in Jordan
BY IN. Associated Pres.

The United States is reported
planning vigorous action blaming
Israel for a surprise army at
tack on three Jordan villages
labelled ''cold blooded murder"
by a United Nations observer
team.
Possibilities included:
l. A strongly worded denunci-
alton by this Government of the
midnight assault.
2. A demand, issued jointly by
the United States, Britain and
France, that such attacks must
stop.
3. An appeal to the U. N. Sc
curity Council backed by the
United States or the Big Three.
AZ Arabs Killed.
At least AZ Arabs, including
women and children, were killed
and Is wounded in the incident
Wednesday night in Jordan

miles from Jerusalem.
Top State Department officials
took an extremely grave view of
the attack, regarding it as the
most serious breach to date of

Mr.. Johnston, film industry
leader and former Government

ton in which an Arab nation

the Security Council yesterday
against Israel's project to divert
the Jordan River for irrigation.
Mr.. Johnston has been asked to
look into possibilities of regional

Mr.. JohnSton's mission came

Both Jordan Border
And River Issues
Likely 10 Go 10 U. N.
BY the Associoted Press

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Oct. 1.-THE United Nations
Security Council, already con-
fronted with an Israeli-Syrian
dispute over the waters of the
Jordan River, may be asked to
try cooling off a hot border
issue between Israel and Jordan.
Britain last night asked the
Big Three foreign ministers
meeting in London to haul Israel
before the Council on charges
of endangering peace in the
Middle East.
The move came shortly after
the British government accused
Israel of an apparently calcu-
lated attack" on three border
Jordan villages.
Earlier yesterday Syria fired
off a protest to the Security
Council that Tsrael's diversion
of the River Jordan constitutes
a threat to Middle East peace.
U. S. and Britain Alarmed.
The alleged Israeli assault
Wednesday night repeatedly cost
Sc Arab lives. It brought ex-
pressions of alarm from official
quarters in Washington and
London.
Britain, in a strong protest
on behalf of Jordan, demanded
that Israel punish those reSpon-
sible and provide compensation.
The United States State De-
partment also was reported con-
sidering a public denunciation
of Israel.
In Baghdad, Iraq Premier
Fadhil Jamali asked the United
States and Britain, through their
Ambassadors, to take serious
measures against Israel for the
attack.
In Jerusalem, the Israeli For
eign Office, piqued by the West
ern Big Three criticism, blamed
nightly incursions from Jordan
into Israel by armed bands" for
melting the attacks on the Jor-
dan villages.
Syria Spokesman in q. N.
Observers at the United Ma
tions said anger over the Jordan
village incident undoubtedly
gave impetus to Syria's protest
over the Jordan River. Jordan
is not a U. N. member, but Syria
is looked on as her spokesman
here.
Although Syria is the sole
plaintiff, her stand will have
support of other members of the
Arab League who belong to the
United Nations.
Security Council President
William Borberg of Denmark has
scheduled the protest for next
Thursday and United Nations
observers expressed confidence
it would be approved for discus
sion.
Israel sources here said the
Tel Aviv government was ready
to have the Security Council ad-
judicate the water dispute and
has so indicated to Danish Maj.

Mrs. Eisenhower Says
u. N. Deserves U. 5. HeIp
BY the Associated Press


Mrs. Mamie Eisenhower said
today the United Nations is an
instrument of peace and deserves
the patient understanding and
steadfast support" of the Amer
ican people.
In a message to Clark M.
Eichelberger, director of the
American Association for the
United Nations, in connection
with the opening of United Ma
tions week tomorrow, the Presi-
dents wide said:
"On the occasion of United
Nations Week, I am happy to
join the many other Americans
who are making of this observ-
ance the occasion for a reaf-
firme lion of faith in this great
organization.
The women of this country
know how great is their stake in
peace. They know too we'll the
anxiety and the anguish that
war brings. That is one reason
why the United Nations is so
deeply meaningful to them for
it is an instrument of peace.
Beyond this, they know that
peace itself is more than the
mere absence of war, It Is the
condition of life, ever to be
guarded and fortified, in which
freedom itself thrives and grows
strong.
In this sense, the United Ma
tions serves at once the peace We
seek and the freedom we cher
iSh. AS such, it summons and
deserves the patient understand
ing and steadfast support of all
of u.s."
