Israel Foreign Office
in Tiff over Regulations
TEL• AVIV (JTA)—The Israel
Journalists Association and the
Editors Guild instructed their
political correspondents to con-
tinue an unofficial boycott against
the Israel Foreign Ministry after
the failure of efforts to ease reg-
ulations which the groups
charged jeopardized normal jour-
nalistic work.
The disputed regulations pro-
vide for special advance an-
nouncements of intended visits
by reporters to Foreign Minis-
try officials, special security of-
ficials to accompany reporters
to and from interview sites and
similar requirements.
The Journalists Association
also announced its intention to
return all official press cards as
a protest. Its 500 members also
asserted that the cards proved
to be worthless even in govern-
ment offices.
Mrs. Golda Meir, Israel's For-
eign Minister, who is at the
United Nations General Assem-
bly, cabled the journalists' groups
asking them to comply with the
new regulations temporarily and
to review them with her on her
return later this month.
Her request has been refused
by the executive board of the
Editors Guild and the Journal-
ists Associations of Tel Aviv and
Jerusalem.

WASHINGTON, (JTA) — A
warning of the Soviet threat to
Israel and charges of United
States appeasement of the Arabs
at Israel's expense were con-
tained in an extensive report
issued this week by the Public
Affairs Institute of Washington.
The Institute, founded in 1947
by 54 American leaders who felt
the need of a non-partisan, non-
profit organiation in the nation's
Capital doing original research
and promoting wider public
knowledge of important prob-
lems, urged a new Middle East
regional resources development
agency, capitalized at $1,000,000,-
000 as the - cornerstone of a
dynamic U. S. policy.
The development agency would
be financed jointly by the royal-
ties of oil-rich states, the oil
companies of member states and
the United States. Membership
would be open to Israel and the
undertaking is envisaged as a
force for Arab-Israel peace.
The report urged abandonment
of what it termed the present
U.S. policy of "ambivalence, un-
certainty, appeasement and par-
simony." It called for priority
to the needs of the peoples of
the region through a long-range
development plan, a final set-
tlement of the Arab-Israel con-
flict, and the resettlement of
Arab refugees in Arab lands.
Inadequacies in the Eisenhow-
er Doctrine were charged, and
alarm was expressed over con-
tinuing Soviet success in pene-
trating the region.
The Institute warned that the
Kremlin is ready "to engage the
force of its arms in support of
the Arab states "to destroy Israel
to advance Communist ends in
the Moslem world.
Israel's Sinai campaign was de-
scribed by the Institute as a leg-
itimate a c t o f self-defense.
Israel's efforts to obtain help
from America when Russia joined
the Arabs were fruitless, the re-
port indicated.
It was charged that the Ad-
ministration took no action to
halt the Arab League's anti-
Israel boycott despite boycott
threats to American firms. The
institute also reported that "the
U.S. submitted to Saudi Arabian
insistence on the right to bar
Jews from serving with American
armed forces sent to Saudi
Arabia."
Stressing the fact that "at no
time" did the U. S. register a
formal complaint in Arab capi-
tals against Arab threats of a
second round against Israel, the
report stated:
"This lack of reaction has only
encouraged the Arabs to believe
State of Israel in its infancy."
