Two Republican Senators,. Kenneth Keating of New York and Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania, issued a joint sarcastically worded statement which labelled the U. N. censure vote of Israel as “apparently the first move in the new policy of even-handedness in the Middle East which the State Department outlined to us in a letter last week.”

Asserting their “vigorous protest” over the action, the two lawmakers said that “it looks like the palm of the hand for the Arabs and the back of the hand for the Israelis.”
