Soviets Again Accuse Israel
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., (JTA) - The Scivlet Union sent two messages to the United Nations last week denouncing Israel as the aggressor In the Middle East.
A Soviet letter to the Security Council declared that as long as the forces of the "aggressor" were on Arab ter¬ ritory and Israel, "with reckless insolence^, makes ter¬ ritorial and other claims on neighboring Arab countries, there  can be no peace in
the Middle East." '
THE LETTER reviewed the recent emergency sesr slon ofthe General Assemb¬ ly, which rejected all So¬ viet attempts to. force Is¬ raeli withdrawals, and said the Assembly had "fWed" because the  Uhited States
' and some of its allleei re¬ fiised to support siich Soviet proposals. The letter didnot request a meeting of tbe. CouncU.
In the second communi¬ cation, a letter to Secre¬ tary General U Thant, the Soviet Union said it saw "no need" to send aldtothe Arab refugees through the UN Re¬ lief and Works Agency and would provide aid "throui^ appropriate channels." The Polish Government, which
' like tbe Soviet Union, has never made a contribidlon to UNRWA, sent a similar
i^     statement to Secretary Gen-
suit of "the criminal action of Israel's armed farces."
THE LETTER said ending the consequences of that "aggression" could not be redui^ to "a single mat¬ ter of charity" and repeat¬ ed Soviet demands for un- conditlon al Israeli with¬ drawal and Israeli compen¬ sation payments.
The letter firom the Polish mission was In a similar vein. After declaringthatthe Polish Government felt Israel was responsible for "all damages and tragic con¬ sequences" of its "aggres- sl«i," the lett^ said that to ease the suffering ofthe Arab populations, the Government was sending; medicine, food, clothing and similar items directly to ^iordan, Egypt and Syria Worth about $400,000.
