JEK'USALEM:(WNSi)-TThe Security CouncU censure of Israel for an air attack on Jordan is not expected to change the nation's de- feiislve policy of-iishig afr- planes to" seek and destroy" Arab torrorist.bases in Jor¬ dan and wiU probably further aUenate the IsraeU public from the United Nations.
Diplomatic observers in Jerusalem noted thatthe Go¬ vernment recently publicly confirmed what eveiyone had known—that jet fighter bombers were being used against Arab terrorists in a soiddsticated versloa of the United States Army's "search and desfroy" oper¬ ations in South Vietnam. Un¬ der the Israeli method, jets attack suspected'terrorist bases as soon as they are identified without waitingfor some specific Arab attack on IsraeL
ISRAELI mUitaty spokes¬ men have said the move is designed to keep tiie terror¬ ists off guard and to force

i
them to move thefr bases deeper and deeper into Jor¬ dan away from the cease¬ fire Une, thereby maJcIng it more difficult for the Arabs to sheU IsraeU border settie¬ ments aiidto infiltrate across the Jordan River into the new territories.
Observers noted that re¬ cent public opinion poUs showed that only a tiny per¬ centage of IsraeUs incUcated any support forthe UN, whUe. the vast majority considered the world oiganlzation use¬ less and meaningless so Jiar_^ as, thefr. nation or peace In the Middle East was con¬ cerned.
THE SECURITY CouncU vote of 11 members for the censure motion with four, abstensions is not expected to enhance the stature of the UN, especiaUy In view ofthe fact that the 11 Included the Soviet Union andFrar.ceplus Hungary, Algeria, Pakistan, Senegal and Zambia.
