He cited Egyptian Premier Ga-

DEPLORE ATTACK
Even before hearing from Syria

They were Turkey,  the  United

UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold said he expected one
next week. The council broke off
the discussion after two hours with
the intention of resuming it then.
WILL PRESS DEMAND
Shukairy charged that Israel bad
made a treacherous aggression "<f
unspeakable brutality" in violation
of the UN charter, the 1949 Israeli-
Syrian armistice agreement and I*
ternational decency.
He quoted a provision of tilt
charter saying that any member
consistently violating its principles
might be expelled from the UN
by thc General Assembly on the
Security Council's recommendation.
"Alternatively, and on the same
grounds, we respectfully urge the
Security Council to decide economic sanctions provided for in
thc charter."
Thc charter says that, in case
of aggression, the council may call
upon UN member countries lo interrupt economic relations, and
even diplomatic tics and commun
ications, with the aggressor nation.
Sliukairy's speech did not make
clear whether what he said on this
was a suggestion or a demand.
But he told correspondents afterward: "It is a demand, and wo
will press it."
