Catholic and United Church con-
gregations. has announced a pro-

demands stating that Israel has a
-fight to exist, urging direct peace
talks between the Arab states and
Israel, and condemning those Arab
leaders who have declared a "holy
war" against Israel. The group

tian Concern, including the above-
listed faiths as well as Baptists,

Direct Arab-Israel Talks
Urged at Chicago Rally
CHICAGO (JTA) — To a crowd
of more than 20,000 people here
Sunday, in a demonstration of
solidarity with Israel, Sen. Charles
proclaimed
E. Perry, (R.-111.),
that he would not give up a square
inch of the territory so hard-won
by the people of Israel, unless and
until a settlement guaranteed the
peace of the Middle East, and
guaranteed Israel's new borders
which he said were more geogra-
phically defensible.
The rally was sponsored by the
Illinois Conference of Jewish Or-
ganizations, representing 60 of the
major national and local Jewish
organizations. A resolution called
on ''the President and the govern-
ment of the United States, in the
interests of the United States and
rieace in the Middle East, to en-
-ourage face-to-face talks between
Israel and the Arab states."
The resolution also called on the
President and the Government to
"reject any plans for a truce, ar-
mistice or other temporary ar-
rangement which would prevent at-
tainment of a just and durable
peace. Israel must not be forced
to abandon its position."
Response of South African
Jews Termed 'Fantastic'
JOHANNESBURG (JTA)—The
esponse by South African Jewry

ties was called "fantastic" by E.
J. Horwitz, chairman of the South
African Zionist Federation, in a

Campaign and on the widespread

Typical among the South Afri-

President Johnson Offers
Five-Point Program as
Basis for Arab-Israel Peace
WASHINGTON (JTA) — Presi-
dent Johnson Monday outlined a
five-point program for Middle East
peace based on the recognized
right of national life, innocent
maritime passage, justice for the
Arab refugees, limits to the arms
race, and "political independence
and territorial -integrity for all."
Addressing the Foreign Policy
Conference for Educators, Presi-
dent Johnson stressed that the
main responsibility for a settlement
rested upon the Arab states and
Israel. He said that "clearly the
parties to the conflict must be the
parties to the peace. Sooner or
later it is they who must make a
settlement in the area. It is hard
to see how it is possible for na-
tions to live together in peace if
they cannot learn to reason to-
gether."
He said America had supported
the peacekeeping role of the Unit-
ed Nations and also recognized the
value of mediation. The President
stressed that in pursuing peace
America was ready to see any
method tried and believed that
"none should be excluded alto-
gether. Perhaps all of them will
be useful and all will be needed."
The President stated that "if
a single act of folly was more
responsible for this explosion
than any other, I think it was
the arbitrary and dangerous an-
nounced decision that the Strait
of Tiran would be closed."
He pointed out that "our na-
tion has long been committed to
free maritime passage through in-
ternational waterways, and we,
along with other nations, were tak-
ing necessary steps to implement
this principle when hostilities ex-
ploded." President Johnson listed.
"justice for the refugees" as a
"basic requirement for settle-
ment."
The President said that "in a
climate of peace, we here will do i
our full share to help with a solu- I
tion for the refugees. We here will
do our full share in support of re-
gional cooperation. We here will
do our share, and do more, to see
that the peaceful promise of nuc-
lear energy is applied to the criti-
cal problem of desalting water and
helping to make the deserts
bloom."
Swiss Red Cross Plane

Wounded Egyptian Prisoners
TEL AVIV (JTA) — The first

Egyptian prisoners of war now be-

tions.
