Israel Denies ItDefies
u. N. in Jordan Plan
BY 'hs Associated Press

Israel has denied it is defying
the United Nations in it's de-
velopment Of Jordan River re-
sources.
A statement released here and
in New York yesterday by Is
raeli diplomatic missions also
declared: 1T would be unfortu-
nate If any government called
upon to consider this intricate
and important matter (of Mid
die East water development) did
not enter the investigation with
a completely open mind"
Secretary of State Dulles has
suspended ALLEGATION of an aid
program to Israel, estimated at
about $50 million, because the
Israel government was pressing
it's water development plan in
defiance of a u. N. truce team
decision following a complaint
by Syria.
The Israeli statement recog-
nized that Gen. Vagn Bennike,
chief of the U. N. truce agency,
had recommended that there be
no water diversion at this time
but made the points that Cd
Israel can appeal to the U. N.
Security Council on any inter-
probation of the armistice agree
ment, and ca "in the mean
time, no water diversion is TAX
ing place"
The statement concluded:
Therefore, any suggestion
that Israel is 'defying' the U. N.
would not be either legally or
factually accurate"

Israel Aid Suspension,

The State Departments de-
cision to withhold American aid
to Israel was protested today by
B'nai Birth which charged that
the government had "prejudged'
the CASE against Israel.
Philip M. Klutznick, president
of the organization, urged the
United States to rescind it's de-
cision in a letter to Secretary of
State Dulles. He also called at
tention to "the effect of this ac-
ton upon the welfare of Amer
lean Jews"
1T seems clear to u.s." he
wrote, that the cause of peace
in the Middle East has been Sc
verely retarded by the abrupt
action of our State Department
this week"
Mr.. Klutznick deplored what
he called "the unusual sharpness
of the charges leveled against
Israel in the public press. The
departments action "at time
when the United Nations Sc
curity Council is considering the
dispute, indicates that it has
prejudged the case against
Israel" the letter declared.

British Guiana Rivals
In London 10 Plead
Case 10 Government
By the Associated Press

LONDON, Oct. 22.-British
Guiana's rival political leaders
met here today to argue their
respective cases before the Brit
ish public and members of Win
ston Churchill's Conservative
government.
They went into action only a
few hours before the opening of
House of Parliament debate on
the British Governments sus-
pension of the constitution of
the South American colony and
custer of the leftist ministers in
order to smash an alleged Com
muniSt plot to seize power.
DR.. Cheddi Jagan, deposed
Prime Minister of British Gui-
ana, charged in a statement
that the Churchill government
deliberately invented a story of
Red plot.
"A plot has been invented
where there is none." DR.. Jagan
said in statement read at
news conference. 1.-The issue of
British Guiana today is not
communism. What is chal-
lenged is the very right to vote
the basis of democracy"
Cites Use of Force.
Referring to the landing of
British troops in the colony, DR..
Jagan added:
1T has always been pointed
out to us that communism is
sustained by force and violence.
Now we see, in the name of
democracy, democracy itself be-
ing destroyed by force"
DR.. Jagan denied his Peoples
Progressive Party was Com
munist, but stated that it
definitely is not anti-Com-
muniSt."
1T is democratic alliance of
all progressive forces who are
prepared to struggle for self
government and for the well-be-
ing of all Guianians. The party
does not dictate to individuals
their political ideology."
Opponent Tells of Fight.
At the same time John Car
ter, DR.. Jagan's political rival
and leader of the United Demo-
cratic Party of British Guiana.
arrived here. He said in an air.
field interview:
"Jagan and company have led
the world to believe that this is
a fight between the Peoples
Progressive Party and the gov
ernor and officials.
I'VE are here to tell people in
Britain that it is not only a fight
between the party and the gov
ernor, but between the party
and democratic forces in British
Guiana consisting not only of
one class, but a whole cross
section of the community"
COnfers With Attlee,
After a two-hour talk with DR..
Jagan last night, Labor Leader
Clement Attlee introduced an
amendment condemning totaIi-
tartan methods in a British COL
ony. The amendment added that
Labor "is not satisfied that the
situation in British Guiana was
of such a character to Justify the
extreme step of suspending the
constitution"
The London government
moved against DR.. Jagan Octo-
Der 9 on grounds the leftist poll
tlclan was Matching Red plot.
The colonial Office said he
planned to stage an arson coup
and seize the colony.

Arrives TO Report
On Palestine Strife
BY the Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, Oct.
22.-The United Nations truce
supervisor in Palestine, Maj. Gen.
Vagn Bennike, came here today
to report to the Security Council
On border killings in that strife
torn land.
Gen. Bennike told reporters the
situation was critically tense, but
not likely to cause a major world
conflict.
British and American sources
said Council session would be
summoned Monday to hear the
/ generals report and decide what
U. N. action is necessary to re-
store calm.
Gen. Bennike said direct nego-
tiations between hostile ISraelis
and Arabs would be unproductive
but he hoped the Security Coun-
ell could bring peace to this
dangerous part of the world"
The Danish soldier rushed here
direct from the plane which
brought him from Jerusalem. He
conferred Immediately with high
U. N. officials.
Three-PrOnged Issue.
Gen. Bennike's report is ex-
pected to shed light on the
three-pronged issue before the
council.
l. A United States request
backed by Britain and France
). for full inquiry into border in
cidents between Israel and her
neighbors, including the recent
Kibya attack in which Jordan
claims Israeli troops killed sc
persons and destroyed the vii
lage.
2. A Syrian complaint that
Israel is endangering Middle
East peace by diverting the
waters of the River Jordan.
3. An Israeli counter demand
that the council take up a
charge that the Arab states vio-
lated the 1949 armistice agree
ments, engaged in illegal block
ade measures and refused to ne
gotiate a peace.
The six Arab states made an
other effort today to force the
council to condemn Israel in ad-
vance of debate. They circulated
a complaint labelled aggression
by the armed forces of Israel
upon Jordan at Kibya, Shukba
and BudruS, which led to great
destruction of property and
slaughter of at least 66 innocent
people on Oct. 14-15, 1858, in
violation of article 5, paragraph
2, of the Jordan-Israel general
armistice agreement"
The council has always re-
fused to list subjects for debate
in such a manner. However, it
is expected to lead to a lengthy
procedural debate.
