UN Told of New Syrian Threats
(Continued from Page 1)
officer replied that, besides the
wing and undercarriage salvaged
by Israel, there was no plane left,
just "bits and pieces."
Israel had avoided any announce-
ment concerning the fate of the
Soviet-built MIG while it was ne-
gotiating with UN officials on pro-
cedures for the removal of the
coast guard cutter. It is the man-
ner in which Israel conducted
those negotiations, mixing. tact to-
ard' the United Nations with firm
afusal to bow to what members
f the Cabinet called Syrian
"blackmail." that earned for both
the Premier and the Foreign Minis-
try the plaudits of the entire
Cabinet.
Salvage work on the cutter be-
gan Friday after United Nations
officials persuaded Syria to end
its opposition to the operation.
The Syrians had massed troops
and armor at the site on the north-
eastern shore of the lake to back
their warnings to Israel against
the salvage attempt.
An Israeli spokesman, announc-
ing that the salvage work had been
started, said: "We have succeeded
in what we sought: to reassert the
principle that Israel sovereignty
alone covers the entire Lake Ti-
berias."
The spokesman said that Israel
could not accept Syria's implied
claim to decide whether Israel
could carry out the salvage work.
However, he added, Israel agreed
to continue suspension of such
work while Lt. Gen. Odd Bull,
chief of staff of the UN Truce
Supervision Organization, pushed
his efforts to obtain an agreement
with Syrian authorities to avoid
any action that might cause a new
clash.
Israel accepted Gen. Bull's re-
quest for an additional short de-
ferment on Aug. 25, but Premier
Eshkol issued orders for salvage
work with or without Syrian agree-
ment and visited the site person-
ally to supervise preliminary ar-
rangements. Gen. Bull finally ob-
tained Syrian agreement and
Premier Eshkol ordered the work
to start.
An Israeli speedboat, carrying
three UN officers and an nraeli
representative to the UN Syrian-
Israeli Mixed Armistice Commis-
sion, reached the stranded vessel
and 15 minutes later, more boats,
carrying salvage equipment and
more UN and Israeli officials,
reached the spot, and work began
immediately.
A special UN team was posted
on the • northeastern shore to en-
sure that the salvage activity was
carried out in peace.
tions that Syria was engaged in
"doctrines and activities that are
calculated to keep the border area
in a state of tension and up-
heaval" which might "endanger
the whole region." The warning
was contained in a letter from
Ambassador Michael Comay, Is-
rael's permanent representative at
the UN, to the president of the
Security Council. Comay did not
ask for a Security Council meet
ing.
Summarizing all of S'yria'si
claims, and Israel's counter-claims,
in relation to the Lake Tiberias
incident of Aug. 15, Comay told
the Council: "The stream of war-
like threats against Israel by lead-
ers and spokesmen of the Syrian
government and its armed forces
has continued unabated since the
incident of Aug. 15." After listing
many such statements, Comay not-
ed that Damascus has emphasized
several themes, including plans
for "people's war of liberation"
against Israel by use of armed
force; a policy of armed- "punitive
or reprisal" attacks on selected
targets inside Israel; a proclaimed
refusal to have recourse in the
future to the Security Council or
any other UN agency; and an un-
dertaking to give "unqualified sup-
port to sabotage raids into Israel."
"Formal denials in letters or
statements" by Syria to the Se-
curity Council "carry no weight,"
Comay stated. "What matters is
that Syria should implement its
obligations under the armistice
agreement to ensure that there
should be no illegal crossing of
the border." Not only Israel but
the United Nations and all govern-
ments concerned with maintaining
the peace and security of the'
Middle East are confronted with
Syrian doctrines and activities that
are calculated to keep the border
area in a state of tension• and up-
heaval, and that may endanger the
whole region."
France Asks Israel for Details
About Surrendered MIG•21
PARIS (JTA) — France report-
edly asked Israel about the possi-
bility of French experts obtaining
detailed information about the
Soviet-made MIG-21 which a de-
fecting Iraqi pilot flew to Israel
recently. The request' reportedly
asked either for permission to ex-
amine the advanced Soviet jet
fighter, or at least for detailed in-
formation about it. The MIG is
the first to land in a non-Com-
munist or non-Arab country. The
request was sent through "normal
official channels," it was report-
ed here.
The French apparently are in-

Seek 100,000 Signatures to Petition
orrection on Israel Mail Inequity
The Far Rockaway Jewish Com-
munity Council, Far Rockaway,
N.Y., has started a campaign to
collect 100,000 signatures on a
petition to Postmaster General
Lawrence O'Brien to correct an
inequity with regard to air mail
postage to Israel.
Rubin R. Dobin, council chair-
man, explained that a hakounce
air mail letter costs 15 cents to
Egypt and 25 cents to Israel,
while both countries are in just
about the same geographic loca-
tion.
In answer to Congressional in-
quiries the postmaster general's
office replied that the difference
in rates resulted in the drawing of
an arbitrary line of demarcation
between these two Middle Eastern
countries.
The campaign for the 100,000
petition signatures is a result of
the vast outpouring of interest
that greeted the initial protest of
the Far Rockaway Council when
it first called attention to this in-
equity. Many members of Congress
feel they want support in their
demand that this arbitrary_line of
demarcation should be shifted so
that Israel should be in the same
15-cent zone as Egypt. They feel
that our government should cer-
tainly give greater consideration
to our relationship with a friendly
nation such as Israel and encour-
age greater communication with
it. •
It was announced that free
copies of the petition to collect
signatures can be obtained by
sending a stamped, self-addressed
envelope to the Far Rockaway
Jewish Community Council, 1295
Central Ave., Far Rockaway, N.Y.
a test pilot to examine the plane.
(Israel's position is that the
plane is exclusively Israeli pro-
perty and may be examined only
by Israelis, a stand which has
evoked political debate in Israel.
Many other countries, on both
sides of the Iron Curtain, have
tentatively approached Israeli
authorities about an inspection of
the MIG.)

The problem is that a lot of men seem to be having a little diffi-

don't understand why. After all, we're not on the other side of the
world, just the other side of Northland. The quiet side. Where you
can always find a place to park. (In Lots ."G" or "H.")

So come on. Give it a try. Find us. (And find a selection of Florsheim

need any more shoes now.
But let's not even discuss that.
