JORDANIAN ATTACK
ON CHILDREN'S
SETTLEMENT
.nCRUSALlSM, (JTA)-Le8S than 24 hours ftftcr the departure of United Nations Secretary General Ong Hammarakjold from Jordan two aggressive acts by Jordanians against Israel took place, violating the ceaae-fire Hammarskjold bo observed.
One of the incidents Involved an attack by Jordanian Infiltrators on an Israeli children's village near Jerusalem. The other was the planting by the Jordanians of a mine near Kaatel, In the Jerusalem area, where Jordanian troops had opened fire on laraells several times Monday.
UN Secretary General Hammar¬ skjold returned to Geneva from his flying trip to Israel, Jordan and Egypt Where he had talks with government leaders in each of the three countries, aimed at main¬ taining tranquility along the Arab. Israeli frontiers. He announced that ho would return to the Mld- <ilc East in October shortly before the opening of the next United Nations General Assembly in New York in November.
Israeli leaders indicated, how¬ ever, that in the light of incidents this week, they will ask Hammar¬ skjold what he accomplished re¬ garding implt>mentation of the cease-fire agreement during his stay In Jordan- "Israel will con- aider Its policy toward Jordan in the light of whatever assurances the UN Secretary General may have obtained from the Jordan Government," a Foreign Ministry spokesman gaid  here..
"At  the last meeting ot  the  Is¬ rael-Jordan Mixed Armistice Com mission," the Israeli official point ed out.  "the  Israeli  delegation  de- ; Glared that It saw no value in ad- '¦ ditional   condemnations  when  pre¬ vious   resolutions   adopted   by   the Commission     remained     unheeded by  Jordan.   Now,   with   aggression continuing,   the   question   la   again asked    whether    reliance    can    be placed    on    the    Mjxed    Armistice Commission aa an effective organ for  reducing border tension."
When UN truce chief Maj. Qen. E. L. M. Burns returned from Cairo, where he had gone with Hammarskjold, he waa summoned to the Foreign Ministry by Foreign Minister Golda Myerson to dis¬ cuss Jordan's "blatant non-com- pJJance" with its cease-fire pledge. Mrs. Myerson demanded a force¬ ful demarche to the Jordan Gov¬ ernment and asked that as UN Chief of Staff he Inform the Se¬ curity Council of Jordan's aggres¬ sions.
In the attack on the Israeli chil¬ dren's village, Jordanian Infiltra¬ tors threw a ha"d grenade into the hallway of a dormitory, but none of the sleeping children was hit. Then they sprayed a bus standing in the couryard with bullets. The attack occurred ut tlie Maaleh Hachamtsha aetllement. There were no casualties.
Syrian troops opened fire on group ot IsraeJJ workers In fields noHh of Hule^, but hit no one. An ¦ Israeli police patrol returned the fire, but the Israeli workers con¬ tinued at their jobs.

NEW YORK, (AJP)- Prof. Nas-j rollah Saifrom 'Fatemi, former delegate to the United Nations In behalf of Iran, on<?o again acored Arab leadera for their lack of vision Is not recognizing larael aa an accomplished fact in the Middle East.
Speaking at a meeting of the In¬ terfaith Committee for Peace In the Holy Land In the Presbyterian Labor Temple on New York's fam¬ ous old 14th St. landmark at the corner of 2nd Ave., Prof. Fatemi told an audience composed of Mos¬ lems, Jews and Christians that the Israelis can take any punishment dealt them from the air, sea or land, Biit the Arab mass, he cm- phaslzfKl, in Cairo, Damascus or Baghdad would go beaerk the very moment larael retaliated with the first bomb on those cities. They will not be able to take it, he de¬ clared,    and    revolutions    \yould
break out immediately. Nasser, added, senses this.
Prof.   Fatemi.   who  teaches  i Now    Jersey    University    and turea   In    various    universities,
lie miracle can explain the event, he i stressed. n a [ Prof. Fatemi also revealed that lee- \ when an Arab diplomat once ac¬ re- cusod him of being a Zionist he re¬ vealed that when he was a delugato I torted in tho negative, but added at the United Nations, the ^ then I that his ancestors, the famous representative of the United King- Cyrus who had favored the return dom, Sir Gladwyn Jobb-, had totd of the Jews to Palestine and who him that, when the British left the | facilitated the return which Jed Holy Land In 1948, London had ex-   to the building of th Second Tem-
pected a massacre of the Jowb in Palestine by the Arabs and that In order to meet the emergency the British Government had their ships ready to cvaet^te those Jews driv¬ en Into the sea to the nearby island of Cyprus.
Fatemi then declared that God had played a prank'on both the British and the Arabs by miracu¬ lously reversing the procedure as fas OS evacuation was concerned The Arabs were driven back by a handful    of    Israelis   and    only   a
pie, was the firat Zionist.
