KARAMEH, Jordan, March 22—If the Israelis’ purpose in yesterday’s attacks across the Jordan River was to wipe out Palestine guerrilla commandos and their bases, it failed.

Karameh Camp was swarming today with men carrying Soviet-made machine guns and grenades and voicing pride over the fight they put up yesterday. [The fighting was hailed in many Arab countries as an Arab victory.] But the men here do not like visitors, and they would not talk to foreigners.

Some of them talked with Jordanians, who sometimes relayed the information to foreign reporters.
