JERUSALEM (WNS) — IsraeU authorities ordered suspension of the program for the reunion of West Bank famlUes because of the Jordan Government's refusal to return to Israel the body of the Israeli pilot who was shot down over Jordan two weeks ago. Efforts to secure the return of the body, made through the International Red Cross, have been unavaUing.
TEL AVIV ~ Israel's press took a gloomy view cf the newly-gained independence of South Arabia which "adds another voice to the anti-Israel chorus," but predicted that tlie new Arab nation, wMch com¬ mands the entrance to the Red Sea, would n«: be able to carry out Its threat to blockade IsraeU shipping.
A bIghState Department official mlnlmlzedthe Soviet miUtary links with Egypt, stating that the sinking of the IsraeU destroyer, Elath, "seems to have been entirely an Egyptian affair." He equated the Israeli sheUing ofthe Suez refinery complex as a comparable vlolatlcn ofthe cease-fire.
NEW YORK (WNS) — President de GauUe's com¬ ments about the Jews and the State of lisrael have been described V the American Jewish Congress as "a reltipse Into near-racism that shames the French ideals of liberty, ecpiaUty and fraternity."

PARE, (JTA) -- French Fresideitt Charles de Gaul¬ le's severe denunciation both of Israel and the Jewish people stirred sharp criti¬ cal responses among the French people, in brael and in other countries.
The official translation of the French President* s com¬ ments, released by the French Mission to the Uni¬ ted Nati(»is, made it clear that his denunciation went well beyond a political at¬ tack on Israel \and that he had, impugned the Jewish people "through the ages" for having "provoked" and "caused" ill wUl "in certain countries at certain times." He also told the press con¬ ference hi Paris that it was "always feared" that once the Jews "gathered on the site of their former grand¬ eur," meaning Palestine, "they might come to change into a fbryent and concpier^' i^g and^ltionil tiie vej^t&ch- Ing hope's'ui^ had for 19 centuries."
HE SAID the creation of Israel had raised apprehen¬ sions "even among many Jews" that placement of "this community" inthe middle of "hostUe" Arabs would produce "friction and conflict" Nevertheless, he added, the Jews 'had "liiie capital that riesultedfromthe vast memory of, the Bible, nourished by aU the springs of the magnificeht liturgy, maintained by the commi¬ seration inspired by ancient: mlsfortunate and; poeticized on our own country by the legend of the Wandering Jew, heightened by the abominable persecution they experienc¬ ed during World War U, and

WhUe the emigration of Russian Jews to Israel, for purposes of family reunion had amounted over a two year period to only "a thin trickle," Mr. Eshkoltddthe Knesset, the Kremlin's com¬ plete stoppage of this emi¬ gration since June was "an inhuman measure, devoid of moral, political or practi¬ cal justification."
