Morse Lashed By Arabian Leader UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. <UPD —Saudi Arabian Minister of State Ahmad Shukairy said today that Israel, through Zionist organizations and “mercenary” United States congressmen, had launched j a campaign against Arab economy. Shukairy specifically mentioned Sen. Wayne Morse <D-Ore.> as being involved in the economic warfare against the Arabs. * “Here in the United States,” Shukairy told the United Nations General Assembly, “Israel has become the sole business of American Jewry.” “Jews, whether they be American or Russians, should dedicate themselves devotedly and exclusively to their own countries,” | Shukairy shouted. “Their loyalty .and their flag should belong where they belong, but not in Israel." Shukairy said Morse, citing Saudi Arabia’s refusal to allow the Arabian-American Oil Co. to employ Jews in its country, formally proposed in the U.S. Senate last August that no economic assistance be extended to Saudi Arabia until such restrictions were removed. •“It requires no genius to discover the author of this move, he said. "It smells of Israeli instigation.” Shukairy said Morse’s charges against Saudi Arabia contained “insolent and abusive falsehoods not worthy of a Congress that represents a polite, courteous and dignified nation.” Shukairy followed the line set by U.A.R. delegate Farid Zeineddine before the assembly Thursday in replying to complaints by Israeli Foreign Minister Golda Meir against halting Israeli ship- ■ ment through the Suez Canal and i Arab war propaganda.
