Israel Ambassador Abba Eban met this morning with Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., president of the United Nations Security Council for this month and head of the United States delegation. He conferred later separately with Sir Pierson Dixon, Britain’s permanent representative at the UN, and Herve Alphand, French representative.
A spokesman of the Israel delegation at the United Nations said Mr. Eban informed the delegation chiefs of the Western Big Three of Egypt’s latest armed attacks on Israel. Mr. Eban is understood to have indicted Egypt severely for "the murder of Israel children and their instructor in the sacred moment of prayer" and called that attack "a particularly revolting example of the consequences of Prime Minister Nasser’s international policy."
The national board of Hadassah today denounced the "wanton slaying" of three Israeli" children attending prayer services by so-called Egyptian suicide squads and called upon the U.S. Government and other Western powers for "firm and positive" steps to halt Arab aggression, including the immediate sale of defensive arms to Israel.
