A second American tanker, loaded with oil, has reached the Israeli port of Elath, according to a cable from Amman, Jordan, published in the afternoon press here. The report originated in Akaba, Jordan, which is a short distance from Elath at the head of the Gulf of Akaba.
A report from Damascus said that the Arab League boycott headquarters there yesterday officially announced the blacklisting of the American oil tanker “Kern Hills” for carrying oil to Israel. The “Kern Hills” will henceforth be barred from all Arab ports, the announcement said, adding that any other American ship calling at Elath will be dealt with similarly.
