JORDAN WILL PLAY BIG ROLE IN GENEVA TALKS

AMMAN, Jordan (AP)--Jordan's key role in a Middle East peace settlement was overshadowed in the fury of the October war and subsequent emphasis on the Suez Canal and Golan Heights positions. But it will become increasingly clear in 1974 as the Geneva talks progress. Jordan now has the best chance it has ever had of regaining the major Arab territory lost in the 1967 war--the rich and populous West Bank of the Jordan River. It is also struggling to avert the possibility of losing it again to a Palestinian state established in an overall peace settlement. Coincidence of interests makes Israel its unwanted ally in Jordan's struggle against the rest of the Arab world to see that this Palestinian state does not come into being. In this, the two nations may have the support of influential western nations, whose officials here see a Palestinian state as internally unstable, a focus of powerful outside interests and the potential trigger of new Mideast dramas. Jordanian and Israeli military experts will sit down in Geneva in January to start negotiations on dis- engagement of forces. Essentially, this means an Israeli pull-back in the West Bank, along the Jordan River. Authorities here say that as the Israelis withdraw, Jordanian civil administrators, and presumably police, will return to their duties, though in the presence of United Nations observers. But the first steps of Jordanian officials back into KING HUSSEIN the West Bank are sure to raise new protests from .,,wants West Bank (See JORDAN, Page 2)

POPE PAUL STRESSES NEED FOR PEACE

ROME (UPI)--Pope Paul VI said yesterday the urgent need for world peace takes precedence over energy and economic crises and urged every individual to help so "this nightmare, this fear" of war can be forever silenced. Marking the seventh annual Vatican-sponsored World Day of Peace and speaking without notes, the 76-year-old pontiff made one of his most ringing cries for peace during a New Year's Day sermon at St. Anthony's Church in south Rome.

"We all know peace is an extremely important theme," said the spiritual leader of more than 600 million Roman Catholics. "It is not superfluous or ornamental in the life of the peoples. It is substantial. It deals with life itself, more than the physical safety of populations, or their honor, or their history." "Peace must guarantee the life of nations," the pontiff said. "It is an urgent theme. It weighs on our destinies. It presses on our human and civil conscience. Indeed, it knocks on the doors of our own interests."

"These daily and domestic interests which today disturb ordinary daily family life--such as inflation, the shortage of consumer goods, the bans on driving--are indeed nothing in the face of this theme (of peace) and which indeed has tremendous urgency." He posed this question: "Will peace last? Yes or no? Will we be able to guarantee to our children, to generations to come, the tranquility, the peace, the order .calls for peace and the joys of this life? Or will we instead have to continue under this nightmare, this fear of the imminence of a terrible tragedy?"
