Amman, Nov. 8.
Israel has rejected a last- minute Jordan "humani- tarian" interim compro- mise to help solve the month-old "convoy dis- pute" between the two countries, it was authorita- tively stated today.
The dispute arose over the allcged refusal by Jordan to allow an Israeli convoy to pass over a mile of Arab territory to Mount Scopus. Jordan alléged that the Israeli authorities were abusing the privilege granted them 27 months ago by includ- ing unauthorised persons in the convoy, and by transporting forbidden material to "two non- functioning cultural, humani- tarian institutions."
The trouble first arose when Jordan's military authorities in- sisted that Jordan escort should accompany the convoy after ascertaining that it carried nothing besides foodstuffs and other essentials to sustain 80 Israel civilian policemen guard- ing the premises at Mount Scopus. Israel objected.
Under he new Jordan com- promise plan, which Israel has rejected, a truckload of food- stuffs loaded and driven solely by United Nations personnel would have been permitted to cross the Arab territory.
· THE RILEY PLAN.
The Israeli authorities insisted on the implementation of a plan defining procedure which was proposed by General William Riley, the chief of the United Nations truce supervision, organisation.
At a mixed armistice 'Com- mission meeting last Sunday,: the Jordan delegates argued that the Riley plan had not been agreed to by the com- petent authorities and suggested the old procedure should be followed in the meantime.
Israel subsequently lodged protest with the Security Coun- cil.
Under the old procedure; the
three. convoy was escorted by Jordan officers and eight other ranks. The Israeli authorities want to limit the Jordan mili- tary escort to an officer and one non-commissioned officer.
The convoy dispute has grown steadily in dimensions over the past month, placing a strain on Jordan-Israeli rela-- tions.
