National Black Political Convention, meeting in
Washington March 24, unanimously reaffirmed the.
condemnation of Israel approved by a voice vote in the
closing minutes of the convention held in Gary. Ind.
March 12. The steering committee meeting was at-
tended by Mayor Richard G. Hatcher of Gary. who had
previously condemned the convention resolution, and
by Rep. Charles C. Diggs Jr. (D, Mich.), one of 13
members of the Blade Political Caucus which on
March 21 had issued a unanimous statement in defense.-
or Israel's existence. A spokesman for the committee
said the committee had approved a "revised" and
"softened" version of the convention resolution which
had called for the dismemberment of Israel. The
"revised" resolution condemned Israel for the "for-
roful occupation'' of Arab territory but eliminated the
call for Israel's dismemberment.

U.S. the only dissenter) and IS abstentions, approved a
resolution asking theSecretary General to place on the
General Assembly agenda next fall a report which, in'
its preamble, charges that certain acts by'Israel in the
.occupied territories constitute '"war crimes and an
affront to humanity." In another action. William E.
SchaufcIc.-llS. Commission representative, charged
the Soviet Union with violating the freedom of
movement of Soviet citizens, especially Jews, in
restricting their emigration.

JERUSALEM (JTA) -
Egypt's official Middle East
New Agency,; quoted by
Beirut radio, announced
April 6 that Egypt had
broken, off diplomatic
relations with Jordan. It said
the decision had been taken
at a Cabinet meeting that -
afternoon presided over by
President  Anwar  Sadat.

Hussein's "Open City" Idea

lost them in the Six-Day War
into which he plunged in the
expectations of easy gains
: despite Israel's message
that Jordan would not be
harmed if it stayed out of the
fight," Mrs. Meir said: She
stressed that Israel had
neither the pretension nor
the ambition to administer

Premier Golda Meir
responded angrily April 4 to
King Hussein's suggestion
that Jerusalem could
become an "open city"
jointly administered by
Arabs and Israelis. The
Jordanian'ruler made that'
point April 2 when he ap¬
peared on the NBC "Meet
The Press" television
program in Washington.
Mrs. Meir asserted that
"there will be no territorial

B.B. Caplan Presented Ohio
"Physician Of Year" Award
Dr. Benjamin B. Caplan
was presented the 1972 Ohio
'Physician of the Year"
Award by the Ohio Nursing
Home Association during
their annual convention at
the   Sheraton    Hotel    in
Columbus on Apr.  5.  The
award   was   given   to   Dr.
Caplan for his conscientious
care   and   treatment   of
patients in nursing homes
and his involvement in the
community in regards to the
Geriatric patient. Dr. Caplan

that they would not be re-"
admitted to the West Bank if
they attended. /
Observers here viewed the -
break with Amman as more
of a demonstrative gesture ;
by Egyptthan a permanent
rupture between the two
countries. They said its
apparent motivation was to
show the Arab world that the
initiative for solving Arab
problems remains with
Egypt and cannot be usurped
by anyone else. The ob¬
servers said HUssein ob¬
viously irritated. Cairo "by
advancing his federation
proposal without prior
consultations With: Egypt.
They said that just as
Hussein fears  that  Egypt
may conclude deals over
Jordan's head. Cairo fears
that Hussein may conclude
deals behind Egypt's back.
Relatifthsjjetween the; two
countries deteriorated in-the
past-almost to the point; of
rupture but diplomatic
relations were never, broken
by; either side. Most of the
serious_ differences' in the
past occurred before the
June 1967 Six-Day War. Last
" summer.' however, Egypt
and Iraq sided with the
Palestinian guerrillas who
were being driven out of
Jordan by Hussein's troops.'
Egypt did not sever relations
but sought fo play a
mediator's role between
Hussein and 'the terrorists.
