Jordan's Foreign Minister Ab dul Monem Rifa'i declared in a statement that Israeli Foreign Minister Abba Eban's lates "did not reflect any readines by Israel to change its positions." Riad and Rifa's complainec that Israel had refused to tel Jarring that it was willing withdraw from the Arab territo ries it occupied in the war June 5-10, 1967, and ready to im plement the Security Council's resolution of the following Nov 22, laying down principles for a settlement with Jarring's help. But Rifa'i did not say he was breaking off cooperation wit! Jarring. And Riad told his inter viewer he was ready to come back when there was a change in Israel's position. Diplomatic sources in Jerusa lem said Thursday that Jarring is expected to extend his Middle East peace mission beyond the end of November despite the ap- parent lack of progress in New York talks.

Grechko omitted the usual ceremonial attack on the United States and even avoided mentioning Vietnam. In the anniversary eve speech, Politburo member Kiril T.

There will be a two-month hiatus for the transition to take place between the Johnson ad- ministration and the Nixon re- gime.

What the Russians may be indicating with their pointed omissions and hints is that they are in a position to collaborate up to a certain point, possibly even on the question of Viet- nam, but that it depends on Washington.

USSR Shows Military Might At 51st Anniversary Parade Usual Direct Attacks On U.S. Missing NATO Diplomats Snub Celebration As Czechs Protest MOSCOW (AP) The Soviet Union paraded its military might in a traditional celebra- tion of the Bolshevik Revolution Thursday, but the featured ad- dress for the 51st anniversary was the mildest in years, omit- ting the usual direct attacks on the United States and even omitting mention of Vietnam. Marshal Andrei A. Grechko, defense minister, delivered the speech which diplomatic ob- servers interpreted to mean that he sought to avoid i chances of Soviet-American dia- logue under the incoming U.S.

administration of Richard M. Mixon. The cold war tensions slil were evident, on both sides of world, involving the East- West political contest and the quarrels within the Communist world. Grechko's address preceding he huge and impressive tradi ional Red Square military pa rade, dwelt as usual on Soviet complaints against "imperial- sm" and accused the West in general of "increasing tensions and creating the danger of a new world war." The defense minister said the Soviet Union is taking necessary steps to strengthen its defenses. This has been the general tenor af anniversary day speeches for years.

But Grechko refrained rom attacking any country spe- cifically by name. The existing tensions were im- nlicit in the absence from the iarade reviewing stand beside Benin's tomb of the ambassa- dors of the North Atlantic Trea- Organization nations.

As new shellings were report- in two towns and a village near Saigon, Gen. Creighton Abrams' U.S. headquarters charged the enemy with "indis- criminate" mortar and rocket attacks on civilians. Although military installa- tions of various kinds exist in al- most all South Vietnamese cit- ies and towns, the shelling of these areas is considered by some i i a observers to be a crucial issue tied to the sion of bombing of North Viet- nam.

talks UU 4, Vietnam peace started quickly, There was speculation iclenl-elect Nixon might Nixon May Hit Snag With Congress Despite Soft Words BV FRANK FT.F.A7ER him in a i By FRANK ELEAZER WASHINGTON (UPI)-Demo ratic congressional leaders romised Thursday to cooperate Richard M. Nixon when he becomes President, but obser- ers foresaw inevitable partisan ollisions between the Democra- Olst Congress and the epublican White House. Nixon, who won the election 'ith less than a majority of the popular vote, was the first andidate since 1876 to win his rst term without his party aking control of Congress. "We don't intend to hinder him in any way," said Sen. Mike Mansfield, the Senate Democratic leader.

"We'll be glad to cooperate with him when he is right, and when he is wrong we will oppose him in a constructive fashion." From the House, Speaker John W. McCormack tele- graphed Nixon his congratula- tions "with assurances of cooperation in the best interest of our people and the national interest." But these assurances were not seen as bridges across party lines and Capitol Hill observers predicted there would surely be partisan squabbles between the Republican President and the Democratic controlled Congress. One of Nixon's legislative proposals--lax breaks for busi- nessmen engaged in social programs--appeared to be in trouble only two days after the election. The Senate leader of his own parly, Sen. Everett M.

Dirksen, said Ihere were "drawbacks" to Nixon's proposal. "First of all," he said, "they would mean less revenues at a time when Nixon wili need all the revenues he can get." President Dwight D. Eisen- hower, with Nixon as his vice president, had a Democratic Congress for six of his eight years in the White House. But Ike was a war hero and was looked upon by many as a nonpartisan figure. On the other hand, Nixon has been in the past an extremely partisan politician and has had a knack for antagonizing Democrals.

Nixon knows he will not receive the reverence that Eisenhower got from the Democrats, who will be seeking to build a party record oa which Democrats can run in 1970 and 1972. But Mansfield told UPI n. VL "djuuui--wuma ne up to I i a that the Democrats to decide, Mansfield said. 'will not oppose him for the sake of opposition. We will place the country ahead of our party." He noted, however, that the GOP President "will have to depend on the majority parly to get his legislation through" and that he would "appreciate being consulted in advance." Whether or not Nixon consults with congressional leaders--as Eisenhower consulted with Sen- Pres- visit or send an observer team.

Diplomatic observers said the perseverance with which the outgoing Johnson administration was pressing ahead reflected Washington's i belief that Saigon ultimately will agree to attend the Paris negotiations. Xuan Thuy, the North Vietna- mese chief negotiator, was reported to have spent much of Thursday studying the impact of the election of Republican Richard M. Nixon to succeed.
