Israel Tightens Security, Keeps Check on Agitators, Criminals; 500 Jordanians Returning Daily Confronted by repeated threats by heads of Arab states that the war in the Middle East is to be renewed, faced with the problem of both a threatened guerrilla war and an underground aimed at its destruction, Israel's cabinet this week nevertheless proceeded with I plans to welcome back many thousands of Jordanians who had fled from the West Bank of the Jordan when Hussein's army was de- feated on June 6, and to extend religious freedom to all sects, in- cluding the Egyptian Coptic Christians, granting to all free access I to sites holy to their faiths. At the same time a Jordanian official warned those who are offered the freedom of return to the Israeli- held territory that if they refused they would be denied further aid by the Jordan government. Israel's Foreign Minister Abba Eban has rejected Yugoslavian President Marshal Tito as a suitable proponent of peace plans in the Middle East. The UN cease-fire observers' force at the Suez has meanwhile been increased to 50 under the direction of Gen. Odd Bull. JERUSALEM (JTA) — Israel's Cabinet is currently discussing "the map of the Middle East, according to Israel's ideas, when peace with the Arabs is achieved," Foreign Minister Abba Eban declared Monday. But, he added, the government will not make its views on that subject public at this time, "keeping these views to itself until the time when direct negotiations with the Arab states begin." Making the announcement at a press conference. Eban declined to answer questions as to whether Arab statesmen had already put out feelers regarding peace talks with Israel. However, he said, the Arab statesmen are not yet ready to negotiate at this time. Such tendencies, he declared, will develop in the future because of pres- sures in an existing situation. "If faced with the alternative of nego- tiations or the prospect that Israel will not budge from the territories she now holds." he observed, "they will eventually realize that they have to negotiate." Concerning the United States embargo on arms shipments to Israel, Eban said that "a dialogue with the United States is a neces- sity and is continuing in order to keep the Israeli army strong." Eban said that the Aug. 31 deadline for the return of Arab refugees from Jordan to the Israeli-held west bank of the Jordan River, "should suffice, even for the stringent processing of the app li- cations" from the would-be returnees. The first batch of applications from those refugees are already in Israel's hands, he said, and processing of the applications has begun. Jordanian efforts to incite against Israel the West Bank refugees who wish to return to their homes is "intolerable," an Israeli official told Nils-Govan Gussing, United Nations Secretary-General U Thant's special representative for humanitarian affairs, it was learned here today. qndicated that thousands of the re- Yosef Tekoah. the assistant di- fugees are now gathered in camps rector-general of the Israeli For- at or near the East Bank. filing eign Ministry, raised the issue with their applications for return west- the UN official.

Israel was reported to have captured, during the June war, Arab intelligence reports giving the names of possible trouble makers who are counted upon by Jordan to set up resistance or possible overt actions by Arab refugees who would return to the West Bank of the Jordan River. Under the new cabinet decision for continuance of the policy of readmitting to the west bank those Arabs who had fled to the Jordanian east bank, Is- rael will screen the would-be returnees to keep out those po- tential trouble makers. The cabinet decision to continue the readmission policy, but under strict screening procedures, was adopted by the government Sun- day after a lengthy meeting 'in which some of the ministers in- sisted that the readmission policy be reversed. They based their posi- tion on the increased and open calls by Jordan for resistance by the returnees. The cabinet's new decision also made it clear that Aug. 31 would be the deadline for the return of the refugees. Israeli authorities have estimat- ed that about 150,000 refugees plan to return from the East Bank to the West Bank. The Jordanians have claimed that the number Is 250,000. Reports from Arab sources • THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS According to information receiv- ed here from American sources, Marshal Tito has in mind some scheme of gradual withdrawal of Israel's military forces frcm oc- I cupied Egyptian areas, accompani- ed at each phase by some Egyp- tion concession. For example, if Israel withdraws to a point 20 miles from the Suez Canal. Egypt would reopen the canal to all ship- ping, including Israel's. At a later stage, Israel would withdraw from the Sinai Peninsula and this would lead to Egyptian recognition of the State of Israel, according to information from the same sources. International guar- antees are also part of the Tito scheme. But, Israelis point out, Egypt has insisted on unconditional withdrawal of Israel's forces and that only then would Egypt decide when and if to talk with Israel. This position, it was asserted here, is unacceptable to Israel. Israel has received no peace pro- posal from Yugoslavia's President Tito, and will not be bound by any agreement that had not been sub- mitted to Israel, Eban informed the cabinet. Yugoslavia's position re- garding Israel at the United Na- tions and elsewhere, he pointed out, does not take account of Is- rael's fundamental rights. Mr. Eban implied that Mar- shal Tito, who went first to Cairo, has proceeded to Damas- cus and Baghdad, is not accept- able to Israel as a mediator in the Middle East crisis. Yugosla- via broke diplomatic relations with Israel in June, along with all the other East European Communist states except Ro- mania. Tito returned to Cairo Tuesday for another visit. S.
