Hussein Discusses Plans For
Peace Settlement With Israel
WASHINGTON (JTA) —
Jordan's King , Hussein
suggested'March 29 that
Jerusalem be the capital of
both Israel and ''the,
Palestinian portion of Jot-.
daii". as "a unified, open
city" in'the context of a final
settlement with Israel. .The ;
remark, made to'newsmen
during ; his visit to
Washington to see President
Nixon, reversed Hussein's
opposition to a sharing of the
Holy City. The Arabs must
control the eastern sector, he
said, but.,''beyond that'-.vyet

Israel. And as has Israel, he
denied having met with
Israeli leaders, although he
commented cryptically that
the Israeli reaction to his
Jerusalem plan 'has been*
"violently negative."
Hussein twice chose not to
reject suggestions from
newsmen that a separate
Jordanian-Israeli peace'was
possible. .
T Earlier, the White House
refused to take any position
on Hussein's announced plan
for a United Arab Kingdom
. embracing the! Israeli-
occupied West Bank of the
Jordan River, bu't left an
impression that» President
Nixon is not unsympathetic
to it. MeeUng^jth. the, press
a fter the '.ji.Bjes'$eht had
conferred with HuSsem for so
minutes,, PressSecretary
Ronald Ziegler said: "We
are not commenting on the
substance of the plan at all.
This is an internal matter.
I'm not willing to enter into it
— one way  or  another."
