Arabs Ask Seamen To End Suez Fight New York (JTA)—The Arab ncamcn's union had urged the International Transport Workers Federation to drop the fight against Arab blockade of Israeli Bhlpping In the Suez Canal on grounds that this was a "political question" to be dealt with by the United Nations. The American maritime union Sfiid that the proposal was made in a letter to the ITF—of which the National Maritime Union is on affiliate—from Captain Hassan Afifl, president of the Arab Syndicate of Merchant Marine Officers and-Seamen. The letter contained assurances that "freedom of navigation In the Suez Canal is fully guaranteed". The letter was considered to be a stronger commitment than Arab representatives havo previously been willing to give on the question of security of American seamen in Arab-ports. However, when Captain Afifi was oslted as to whether the assurences in the letter included Israeli ships and seamen, he replied: "It must be. understood that o state of war exists between the United Arab Jtepubllc and Israel."
