EGYPT TO CONTINUE SUEz ANTL|SRAEL BLOCKADE
Arizona Stat ta Library

Phoenix, Ariz.
War IS Still
On, Declares
Envoy TO UN

UNITED NATIONS, NY,
(JTA) = Egypt insisted at
the United Security Council
last week that it has the
right to search Israel-bound
ships passing through the
Suez Canal and the Gulf of
Eilath, and charged the
Israel complaint against the
Egyptian restrictions lacked
Seriousness"
Mai. Gen. Abdel Hamid Ghaleb,
member of the Egyption delega-
ton. told the Security Council that
although Israel and Egypt have
signed an armiStice agreement, a
state of war still exists between the
two countries.
"A state of war gives belliger-
ants certain rights" he said.
Foremost among them is the un-
contestable right of visit and search
of ships in territorial waters, in
ports, in mid-ocean and in enemy
waters, with a view to confiScating
what is. legally considered war
contraband.
Claims Israel Menace
Emphasizing that he bases his
argument on ''ruleS of internation-
al law" the Egyptian representa-
tive claimed that nowhere in the
UN Charter could provision be
found to modify these rules. He
emphasized that Egypt will con-
tinue it's practice of searching
ships bound for Israel through the
Suez Canal until state of peace
is established and as long as our
very existence is threatened by ag-
gressive and hostile ZiOnism.
Gen. Ghaleb insisted that the
Egyptian blockade against Israel
does not violate the ConStantinople
Convention of 1888. He claimed
that this international pact which
safeguards the free use of the Suez
Canal in peace and war, without
distinction of flag, reserved to
Egypt full defensive rights" ("
'Self-PreservatiOn' Cited
with Zionist expansion growing
from a nightmare into an ugly
daylight fact, with the threats OF
Israel to force her flagships
through the Suez Canal and Egyp-
tan territorial waters, could the
United Nations organ established
for the preservation of peace deny
Egypt her right of self-preserva-
ton? ''the Egyptian representative
argued.
Israel Ambassador Abba S. Eban
told the Security Council that "a
very grave turn" had been taken
I'm what was already a serious
situation" He said the Security
Council had heard "a firm and
defiant inSistence" on the blockade
measures which the Council had
vigorously denounced" Egypt up
held it's contention that it could
wage unilateral war" four years
after the hostilities had ceased,
said Eban.

Plan Is Adopted By
The Majority.

The Republican minOrities in the
senate and house of the 1855 Cen
eral Assembly probably viii have
attaches Of their own appointment.
It was disclosed on Wednesday Of
this week as prospective legislative
leaders met with Governor Boggs
at Dover.
This would be fair plav bv the
Democratic majorities in botb
houses since in recent sessions
IN which the Republicans have held
he majorities they have permitted
minority appointments.
AT least two minority attaches
would be permitted by the DEM
lcrats in the session starting Tues
lay. Possibly. there would be a
third. If there is third then each
county would be represented by
persons, to be appointed by the Re-
publican side, who have had Iegis-
ative experience.
The Republican position is that
any minority attaches appoint
nents are to be made the appoin-
ees must be experienced and eff
;ient.
Tentatively, the appointments
would include a secretary for the
Lieutenant governor, an assistant to
