Beirut, Aug. 21.

The Lebanese Prime Minister, Sami el Sohl Bey, has called an emergency session of Parliament to ask for six months' special powers to introduce sweeping reforms demanded by public pressure.

The emergency session is fixed for next Thursday.

The Prime Minister, who has no majority in Parliament, will be forged to resign if he is refused the special power.

The Cabinet drew up a reform programme at meeting fast aight. It includes electomi re- form and early elections, a purge of the allegedly corrupt administration and reorganisa- tion of the judicial system.

Ito provides for the sale of State-owned land to fariners, construction of water and elec tricity projects and the starling of a health Insurance scherne,

Dr Fadhil Jamali, Iraq's Foreign Minister, told a Press conference here today that Arab de- mands for unified pressure to stop allcged Zionist frontier violations against her Arab neighbours were designed to make the Jews submit to the United Nations resolutions on the Palestine situn- tion.

"But for the latter, Israel would not have come into being," he said, and added that Arab' leniency towards Israel would only lead the Jews to continued aggression and defiance of United Nations decisions.
