Although a United States de-

.Iraq Tells U. n.
Israel Defiance
Threatens War
Russia Supports
Arab Demands for
Troop Withdrawal

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y.
Jan. 20 (P).-A leading Arab
spokesman, Fadhel Jamali of
Iraq, warned today that Is
raeli defiance of the United
Nations decisions will lead to
war in the Middle East.
Mr. Jamali demanded that
Israel comply at once with the
General Assembly's repeated de-
mands for complete withdrawal
of her troops from Egyptian ter
ritory.
IF Israel doesn't heed this
body" he said, 1--WE are headed
for another war in the Middle
East. That war would prob
ably involve the whole world"
Mr.. jamali urged the Assem-
bly, to make Israel bow" to
U. MS will by whatever steps
are necessary. He specifically
mentioned the possibility of ex-
pulsion of Israel from U. N.
membership and possible eco
nomic and financial restrictions.
Debate to Be Suspended
The Iraqi delegate spoke as
the 80-nation Assembly prepared
to suspend its debate tempo
rarily to permit private consulta-
tons on the next step in the
critical Middle East situation.
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minis
ter VASTLY v. Kuznetsov threw
his support behind the Arab de-
for immediate Israeli
withdrawal.
At the same time, he criticized
the United States for advocating
the use of U. N. emergency forces
to replace Israeli forces now in
two areas of Egypt-the GAIA
Strip and the Sharm Ell Sheikh
area, near the Gulf of Aqaba.
He called the United States
policy "a new plan of interven-
ton into the internal affairs of
Egypt"
Assails Israeli Plan
Mr.. KuznetSov opposed Israel's
plan to set up her own admin
istration in the GAIA Strip.
ANY attempt to change the
juridical status of any part of
Egyptian territory would be a
violation of the armistice agree
ment and the U. N. Charter" he
said.
U. N. circles predicted the AS
sembly would let the Middle East
dispute cool until Thursday or
Friday as diplomats continued
behind-scene maneuvers.
Several British Commonwealth
nations were reported seeking
support for a plan to bolster
Secretary General Dag HAM
marskjold's efforts to get Is
raeli troops out of Egypt and
broaden the duties of the U. N.
force.
The plan gained impetus when
the United States threw its sup
port behind Mr.. Hammarsk jold S
efforts as spelled out in his de-
tailed report.
United States Chief Delegate
Henry Cabot Lodge. jr.. did not
offer any resolution mapping out
these moves. But informed dip
lomats said he has been dis
cussing such a proposal with
Canada's Foreign Secretary Les
ter B. Pearson and others.

Cut by Exports
By the Associated Press

Record wheat exports during
the last marketing year cut the
Nations surplus of that grain
to 905 million bushels as Of
last July 1.-the Agriculture De-
paitment reported today.
The record exports during
the year ending last June 80
amounted to SAT million
bushels. the department said. 1t
added that the COS million
buShel surplus was 1913 million

record SURPRISES on hand q
year earlier.
A further reduction in the
wheat carryover is in prospect
by next July /, the report said,
With the 1857 crop yield under
that of 1856 and with exports
expected to continue at a high
level.
Last years exports compared
with 346 million bushels the
previous year. and broke the
S04 million bushel record set in
1859.

programs.
The department said use of
wheat in this country IN 1867
dropped to SGT million bushels
Ia millions less than in the
previous year and the smallest
since 1922. The reduction
was mainly due to use of
smaller quantities for feed and
seed.

ment said the Commodity
Credit Corp. owned more than
$50 million bushels and another
% millions were under loan.
