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'

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

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.

Arabs hijack Jordanian plane
BEIRUT (UPI) Arabs claiming to belong to a "Jordanian
Free Nationalist Officers 'movement hijacked a Jordanian
airliner from Jordan to Libya yesterday about 14 hours before
Secretary of State Henry Kissinger's scheduled arrival in the
IJordanian capital.
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."
The state of siege limits civiPliberties and gives police in

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

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

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

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

Senate, the President's party
has lost an average of four
