Mr.. Eban charged an Arab con-
Spiracy when he addressed a
press conference here in connec-
ton with the submission of Is
raeIs complaint to the Security
Council against Egypt's blockade

mentioned the Egyptian blockade,
the Jordan refusal to honor its
signature on the armistice agree
ments, the Syrian refusal to ac-
cept the verdict of the majority
of the Security Council, the Iraqi
arrests of innocent air passengers
forced down on Iraqi territory
and the threats of the King of
Saudi Arabia.

with a remarkable lack of alert
international counteraction."
Mr.. Eban declared it ''incon-
ceivable" that at the climax of
Areb hostility and lawlessness,
military aid should be given to
any member of the Arab League
whose governments threaten the
peace. He singled out Iraq which,
with Saudi Arabia, has been men
toned as possible recipient of
American military aid, as ''the
most extremist member" as leader
in the original aggression against
Israel and as the source of num-
erous irridentist moves in the
Middle East.
Memorandum Explains Israel's
Complaints
In a memorandum submitted
earlier to the Security Council
explaining Israeps complaint
against Egypt's extension of the
anti-Israel blockade at the Suez
Canal and at the mouth of the
Gulf of Aqaba, Mr.. Eban pointed
out that the Anti-Israel Boycott
Committee cited in the Egyptian
Legislation extending the blockade
to food shipments as requesting
Tightening of the blockade in

the Canal and the, interference
with shipping bound for the Is
raeli port Of Elath as violations
of the Security Council resolu-
tion of September !. 1851. and

were equally piratical and IL

Avowing the Israel Govern

this arbitrary violation of its in

PLAIN TALK
MY IMAGINARY RETREAT
BY ALFRED sEcAL

=
A few months ago las I report
ed herel ! went into weekend re-
treat with IS Catholics in the
Holy Cross Monastery; in order
10 observe how Catholics get
close TO their religion. Afterward
was asking. Why don't we Jews
occasionally do something like
that to discover our relationship
with God and how to behave as
His progeny? We Jews are always
50 busy with LOT Of other angles
of being Jewish.
Since then several letters have
asked me rather Indignantly:
Where have been in Jewish life
all this time? Didn't I know that
retreats of Jewish gentlemen are
being conducted all around the
country; in fact. in our own town.
"And you go retreating with
people Of another religion alto
gether." one letter said. Shame
on you. not because you went
with the Catholics but because
you. a journalist. don't seem to
know the resources Of. your own
religion"
Further, more detailed informa-
ton in the same direction from
the Union of American Hebrew
Congregations (Reform) tells me
that many of our congregations
have retreats for the purpose of
enlarging adult education in Ju-
daism.
So could feel properly humble
as a coIumnist who doesn't seem
to know what gives in our own
circle. Not that regret having
gone with the Catholics that
weekend: the visit with the
priests in the monastery contri-
buted to my education as a men,
ber of the human family. Thereby
I discovered that Jehovah also
was in the monastery. even as in
the synagogue. in the Hebrew
Union College and the Jewish
Theological Seminary.
/ suggest that to this Jewish re-
treat some Protestants and Catho-
lies be asked to come along. Bow
ing together-Jew, Catholic, Pro-
testant-at the Jewish altar
should be good for all of us. Not
that there would be the least eff
fort to make the Christians over
into Jews but it should help to
teach us and them that it's about
time we got to know each other
better. If we can't be brothers in
a brotherhood, we can at least be
good neighbors and friends. And
why should we be afraid of each
other? God looking down on a
scene of Jews and Christians in a
Jewish retreat together would
feel more hopeful of the human
race which has been making an
awful mess of itself.

experience gained in those games
will enable the rules committee
to decide on revisions for next
