Eban Says Goldmann Wrong in Advice on Peace
TEL Aviv (JTA) — Deputy
Premier Abba Eban expressed dis-
agreement with Nr. Nahum Gold-
mann"s contention that peace in the
Middle East might be achieved
more easily through mediation of
Jewish communities throughout the
world.
Addressing a Foreign Press Club
luncheon, the deputy premier said
that peace would come not via
New York or Buenos Aires but via
Jerusalem and the Arab leaders.
Dr. Goldmann suggested at a press
conference in New York on June
10 that Jewish communities could
help to create an atmosphere to
pave the way for eventual Israel-
Arab peace talks.
(In a lengthy article in the july
issue of "Foreign Affairs," the
quarterly published by the Coun-
cil on Foreign Relations in New
York, Eban stressed that the Arab
states had much to gain by a per-
manent peace settlement with Is-
rael in the fields of communica-
tions, tourism, agricultural and
industrial development, technical
progress and the development of
natural resources.)
(He called for a "revolutionary"
approach to the settlement of the
government, the deputy premier
said that Israel had continued dur-
ing that time to consolidate friend-
ly relations on all fronts of the in-
ternational arena.
Meanwhile, on the issue of Sov-
iet Jewry, Dr. Goldmann told press
representatives here that he con-
siders his way of dealing with the
problem as the right one and is
not afraid of criticism.
The world Zionist leader empha-
sized that whatever he said was
in his own name. He stressed that
he would have preferred that the
problem of Russian Jewry be dealt
with by Jewish organizations in
countries outside of Israel. "In Rus-
sia, they listen more to the voices
coming from New York and Chi-
cago," he stated.
In Geneva, Dr. Goldmann de.
clared Wednesday, in comment
on the address last week by
Eban, that he has always stres-
sed "the elementary fact that
only Israel could settle its dif-
ferences with the Arab States."
In his statement Wednesday, Dr.
Goldmann said he had never sug-
gested that Jewish communities
throughout the world should
mediate the deadlock.
He declared that what he did say
was that such Jewish communities,
especially in countries containing
important Arab minorities with
some influence on their home
countries, could help prepare an
atmosphere of goodwill and under-
standing which could pave the way
to direct Israel-Arab talks.
With regard to his assertion that
"the road to peace lies through
Moscow," Dr. Goldmann said he
wanted to make it clear that in that
comment he did not have in mind
any Soviet mediation between
Israel and the Arabs.
What he did mean, he added,
was that the Soviets could, if they
wished, make it clear to the Arabs
that they could not expect help nor
arms from the Soviet bloc in the
long run unless they were ready
to accept the fact of Israel's ex-
istence and to discuss with Israel
their differences.
NY State Assembly Appr oyes Bill for Sabbatarians
ALBANY, N.Y. (JTA) — The
New York State Assembly unani-
mously passed a bill which will
help remove any discrimination
that Sabbath-observing Jews may
suffer in seeking employment with
state or city agencies,
The bill, which was introduced
by State Senator Paul Bookson,
makes it illegal for any local or
city agency to refuse employment
or promotion or to discharge any
person on the grounds of his in-
ability to work on certain days due
to his religious observance, if he
is willing to make up the lost
time.
The bill had previously unani-
mously passed the State Senate and
is now in the hands of Governor
Rockefeller for signature.

Israel-Arab conflict which would
provide the Arab states with a
broad range of economic, social
and cultural benefits and create
a vast "open region" in the Mid-
dle East to serve all Mediter-
ranean nations.)
Eban also rejected another Gold-
mann thesis, expressed here sev-
eral months ago, that the road to
peace led through Moscow and
that Israel should cultivate better
relations with the Soviet Union.
The deputy premier said that
though the Soviet Union, like every
other major power, could greatly
influence peace developments,
peace itself, would be reached by
direct Arab-Israeli talks.
