Ike Advisor for ' Blockade Stop Washington: (JTA)—Dr. Arthur Burns, economic advisor to President Eisenhower, was quoted here this week as declaring that t h e Western Powers know they cannot consider the Arabs as a serious factor in the struggle between East and West nnd that the Western Powers must take a stronger stand to Influence the Arabs to halt their blockade of Israel. The appraisal of the situation ascribed to Dr. Burns, whicb conflicts with State Department jwlIcy in arming Iran, as a bulwark against Communist aggression, appeared in an interview with Dr. Bums by Bclncsh Epstein, of the Republican National Committee, circulated to the Jewish press by the committee. "Dr. Burns, believes," the Interview asserted, "that America and our democratic allies must take a stronger stand to Influence t h e Arabs to cease their blockade'of Israel. He also hopes (hat this will happen very toon. "The" Western Powers, he remarked; know that they cannot depend upon the Arabs as an earnest factor In the.struggle between the East nnd West at a time when they have full assurance that Israel will fight effectively for her Independence and for democratic freedom and security In the Middle East. He is, therefore, convinced t h a t the Western Powers will ultimately, in their own interests, take steps against the Arab blockade of the State of Israel," the Interviewer reported. *

U.N. Hears of Jerusalem Incidents United Nations, N . Y . (JTA)— Israel and Jordan, in communications to the president of the United Nations Security Council, traded c h a r g e s and countercharges as to who precipitated the three-day "small war" In Jerusalem. However, neither of them asked* for a meeting of the Security Council. Thoir communications will merely be distributed among the Council members. Mordecal R. Kldron, Deputy P e r m a n e n t Representative of Israel at the United Nations, charged in his communication that the Arab Legion of Jordan started the fighting by opening fire from Its positions in the Old City of Jerusalem on the Israeli section of the city. "There wus not tho slightest provocation for this deliberate attack," ho stated. "It was obviously planned In advance and centrally directed."' Issa Bandak, Acting Foreign Minister of Jordan, in a cable to the United Nations, said that "armed forces of the Israeli Army have showered the Arab section of Jerusalem with bullets and shells of their automatic guns." Mr. Kldron emphasized in his communication that the Israeli forces were under orders not to return the fire when tho'Arab Legion started to lob mortar shells into the Israel part of Jerusalem." No fire was returned for two hours," he stressed. "Eventually, however, as tho Arab firing continued to gain in Intensity and striking power, it became necessary for Israel forces to react," he pointed out. "These latest attacks," Mr. Kldron said In his communication, "constitute a new deliberate act of repudiation by the Jordan Government of Its obligations under the Armistice Agreement. It would seem that the absence of any international reaction to Jordan's flouting of the Armistice Agreement in the past has served to encourage the Government of Jordan to commit this outrageous disturbance of tho peace of Jerusalem, which constitutes an offense against the entire civilized world, ho less than against Israel."
