They say he simply travels from capital to capital without coming up with any new pro- posals--while Israel digs in deeper in the occupied areas. The Jordanians, pointing to recent Israeli moves around Jerusalem, are threatening to go back to the Security Council unless Jarring does something. ~~~-~~/ Since June the role of so~ viet advisers has progressed from test flying newly arrived planes to in- structing on tactics to flying opera- tional patrols. Egyptian officers are said to resent all this as a slur on their ability and Egypt's sovereignty. The military stalemate continues, despite royalist claims that Sana is surrounded, all roads cut, and "the ring closing tighter." The royalists admit that the republicans seem to have plenty of ammunition and that republi- can air strikes, although fewer, are still hampering royalist operations.
