(JTA)—Israel con- tinued to press for the right to full membership in the largest United Nations bloc ever organized, the "Group of 77" developing countries, after be- ing denied that right again last Friday through Arab and Moslem tactics which UN Secretarist observers called privately "sheer hooliganism." The group held a scheduled meeting after Ambassador Syed Amjad Ali, of Pakistan, tem- porary chairman of the group, had notified Israel that only signatories to a declaration on develop- ing countries would be admitted to the "private" meeting. That declaration was issued in Geneva last June at the conclusion of a three-month United Nations Conference on Trade and Development. The Arab and Moslem states pushed that declara- tion through without giving Israel an opportunity to sign it. As soon as Ambassador Ali opened the meet- ing last Friday, he announced that countries that did not sign the Geneva declaration last June "cannot participate." Ambassador Michael S. Camay, Israel permanent representative at the UN, immediately sought to address the chair on a point of order. Arab representatives and their supporters im- mediately started pounding their desks, staging an 11-minute noisy demonstration and drowning out all efforts by Comay to speak. Evidently showing extreme partisanship to the opponents of Israel's participation, Ambassador Ali sat silently and did not recognize Israel or rule on Comay's point of order. Ambassador Comay, openly accusing the chair- man of an "attitude lacking a minimum of fair- ness," said he would withdraw from the meeting "under protest." He made it clear, however, that he was withdrawing only from that particular ses- sion and that he would continue to insist on Israel's full right to membership in the group when the bloc elects a new chairman. Such an election had already been scheduled by the group.

If action for protection of American personnel is found necessary, "appropriate arrangements will be made," said Col. Donald W. Paffel, USAF, in a letter to Sen. Jacob K. Javits, New York Republican. Col. Paffel said, however, that as a result of previous inquiries to the local commander and reports through State Department channels "we have not found any basis" for American Jewish personnel to feel insecure among the Libyans. He said "We have carefully watched the situation and in each instance concluded that there was no immediate concern for the safety of our personnel." But on the question of censorship of pro-Jewish material and deletions from broadcasts by the U.S. armed forces radio and television station at Wheelus Air Base, Col. Paffel announced anew that "we have a self-im- posed program of deleting items which are considered objectionable to the country concerned." Explaining the deletions, the colonel said that "in order to prevent embarrassment to our government we must respect the views of our host nations and avoid placing our own people in a position opposed by those among whom they must live. He conceded that "it is possible that confusion may exist on the sub- jects of the state of Israel, Judaism, and those of the Jewish faith. The Air Force is taking action that these restraints are not being , improperly- applied," he said. We Salute Our Chief Executive On the great Day of Decision, the American people has rendered its' judgment the American way, with ballots : Lyndon Baines Johnson is to remain in the White House as our Chief Executive. We heartily acclaim the decision, and we join in blessing our President and in praying that he be granted the strength to continue his duties as the guide of our destinies at home and in all matters affecting us abroad. May he be blessed with the courage he already has displayed in pursuing his sacred duties, and may his hands be strengthened in leading our people to new heights of moral and diplomatic dignity.
