Jordan to give up land By United Press Internationaj King Hussein has announced plans to overhaul the Jor danian constitution to give Palestinian guerrillas, once his bit ter enemies, the right to the Israeli-occupied half of his divided kingdom. Hussein said Tuesday he would call both houses of parliament into special session to fulfill his promise aVlast week's Arab summit conference to recognize guerrilla authority over the West Bank region. Political sources in Amman said parliament would be dissolved after Saturday's session approves a new constitution excluding the West Bank from Jordanian sovereignty. . The sources said all officials of the new parliament and cabinet will be East Bank residents. Half the current ministers and members of parliament come from the West Bank, where some 670,000 Palestinians The move will be Hussein's first step in fulfilling his agreement with other Arab leaders last week to renounce Jor dan's claim to, West Bank lands seized by Israel in the 1967 Middle East War. The Arab summit in Morocco called for the Palestine Liberation Organization to set up a state on the West Bank and Gaza strip if Israel gives up the regions. - Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin Tuesday rejected any dealings with , the PLO, which he branded a terrorist organization ''whose avowed policy is to strive for Israel's des4ruction and whose method is terrorist violence." Rabin told parliament in Jerusalem that the Arab decisions were "designed to disrupt any progress towards peace, to en courage the terrorist elements and to foil any step which might lead to peaceful coexistence with Israel." He said IsraQl has enlarged its army and has embarked nn a massive weapons procurement program. Diplomatic sources in Washington said the United States is speeding up its weapons shipnients to Israel. Incompatibility may end 'marriage' New Congress may fight Ford WASHINGTON (AP) That good marriage President Ford proposed tik, , Congress may be headed for a quick divorce. The election returns point to incompatibility as the likely grounds. The voters have confronted the Republican President with the most heaVily Democratic Congress since Lyndon B. Johnson's landslide election a decade ago. And while Ford said he is confident he can work with the new Congress to deal with in flation and the economic slump, all the signs signal a heightened struggle over economic measures. Against the background of Tuesday's election outcome, it is likely to begin almost im mediately, when the current 93rd Congress returns for its from the world and the nation U.N. pledges MIA search aid UNITED NATIONS (UPI) The U.N. General Assembly took an unprecedented step yesterday in appealing for help in accounting for the dead and missing from "armed conflicts. regardless of their character or location." • Adoption of the American-sponsoired resolution was 85-0 with 32 abstentions. It was the first time the United Nations has made a formal declaration ou those missing in action. The Assembly action was laimed at putting pressure on the Vietnamese Communists to fully account for •Americans missing.in Indochina. The Department of Defense lists 954 Americans as missing and another 1,446 dead, but whose remains have not been recovered. The United States has blamed the Viet Cong and Nortli Viet namese for their refusal to allow American search teams behind their lines despite the Jan. 27, 1973 peace agreement providing for cooperation on the issue. The Assembly said the lack of information on the fate of combatants and civilians is "one of i the tragic results of armed conflicts." OAS may end Cuba embargo QUITO, Ecuador ( UPI) The Organization of American States, with tacit approval of the Ford administration, is ex pected to reopen the hemispheric door to Cuba when its foreign ministers meet here Friday to decide the fate of sanctions im posed on the Fidel Castro regime 10 years ago. Diplomats said yesterday the final vote will be close but most expect the Cuban embargo will probably be lifted when the five-day OAS conference ends next Tuesday. Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger, now in the Middle East, will not attend and the United States delegation will be headed by Deputy Secretary of State, Robert Ingersoll. Diplomats said the U.S. delegation'will not oppose ending the Cuban ban, which has overshadowed almost every aspect of inter-American relations in recent years. The three nations thatasked the OAS to call the meeting Colombia, Costa Rica and Venezuela argue that the sanc tions have become - obsolete cold war relics that have no place in an era of detente between the supei-powers. lame duck session beginning Nov. 18. For one thing, any slim prospect that Congress would act this year to give Ford the middle and upper income tax AP mews analysis surcharge he proposed as an anti-inflation measure ap pears to be gone now. And given the shape of the new Congress that will convene in January, if Ford ever gets the surtax through, it likely will be altered, so as to apply only to high income brackets. The new Congress will be more, aggressively liberal, more likely to challenge Ford on foreign and defense spending, more attuned Co domesticyrograms. House Speaker Carl Albert of Oklahoma, an old friend of Ford's but a Democrat first, said his party had a mandate, not just a victory. Albert said the Democrats now Can move with more con fidence oh such programs as national health insurance, tax reform and public service em ployment. Hei also said the White House had focused on in flation while neglecting the problem of recession. "We believe we can meet both problems simultaneously," Albert said. Ford said there was no argument that inflation was the No. 1 issue. "The mandate of the elec torate places upon the next Congress a full measure of responsibility for resolving this problem," he said. "I will work with them wholeheart edly in this urgent task which is certainly beyond par tisanship."

The. Libyan news agency said the hijacked Royal Jordanian Airlines Caravelle with its 18 passengers and crew members, minus the hijackers, left the Libyan port of Benghazi later in the day to return to Jordan. The agency, quoting a Libyan foreign ministry statement, said the hijackers requested political asylum in Libya. The Libyans did not disclose the number and identity of the - hijackers. Libya has never refused asylum to Arab hijackers. The Libyan leader, Col. Moammar Khadafy, is an outspoken critic of Jordan's King Hussein. Jordanian officials said the plane's passengers were six Jor danians and two Italians They said the plane also carried a crew of six and four security agents. It was only the second case of Arab vs. Arab hijacking this year and the first time since 1971 that a Jordanian airliner had been hijacked Argentina dec'ares seige BUENOS AIRES ( UPI ) The Argentine government, plagued by leftist guerrilla attacks and politic,?l assassinations, yesterday declared a nationwide state of siege for an indefinite period after seven school children vet threatened by violence. The move was announced by Interior Minister Alberto Rocamora five days after the terrorist killing of federal police Chief Alberto Villar and his wife and the murders of four leftist activists over the past weekend. Rocamora said the state of siege was declared for an in definite period to combat a wave of violence that has threatened even school children. Education Minister Oscar Ivanissevich said yesterday that some teachers and school children had received threats in the past few days. Rumors of widespread threats against teachers and children caused large absenteeism in "Buenos Aires schools in the past two days. Rocamora said the threats and rumors were part of a cam paign "against the family in its most sensitive area."

Jackson, D-Wash., who is vir tually- certain to seek the White House in 1976, and,who said the election outcome will push up his time-table for an announcement, argued that the voters are fed up and want action now. Another Democratic prospect, Sen. Lloyd M. Bent sen of Texas, said Ford had better change some of his economic policies. "If he doesn't we will win the White House in 1976," Bentsen said. The economic argument can only escalate as the maneuvering begins for presidential campaign position in 1976. If the economy was the overt issue, Watergate was the undertow for Republicans in the Tuesday balloting. Republican National Chair man Mary Louise Smith said the backlash of scandal led to GOP defeats. "I think this election is probably a final chapter of those difficult times." she said. It also was a final chapter for Republicans who had, until the waning days of his presidency, defended Richard M. Nixon. Charles W. Sand man Jr. of New Jersey, Earl F. Landgrebe of Indiana, Dan H. Kuykendall of Tennessee, those congressmen-and many more will be missing when the new Congress assembles. All told, the Democrats won 276 House seats, led for 15 more, for a new total of up to 291 seats. In the Senate, they picked up four seats and boosted their strength to at least 62. . The Democratic House gains compare with a post war average in off-year elec tions of a 30-seat loss from the party of the President. In the Senate, the President's party has lost an average of four seats.
