General Strike Called by Arabs Over Israel Occupation
Arabs announced a general business strike in the Israeli occupied West Bank to coincide with the United Nations General Assembly opening in New York though no immediate effect was seen. In Amman church leaders protested Israeli actions in Jerusalem and urged liberation from Zionist oppression. Negotiations continued in Cairo as Adib El Amery flew to New York with a new peace plan to push Israeli withdrawal from Arab territory. In Cairo Al Ahram reported house arrest of Salah Nase and arrests of 182 officers and civilians after the June 5 Middle East war. Western oil sources anticipated Syria not blocking oil shipments to the West. A top line noted the death of Dr. Paul V. Sangeen, former president of Western Michigan University, in Kalamazoo.
