The party leader. Adolf von Th.7 -1 1eii, said at a press conference that he was pleased withthe res , iiis and predicted oven greater success for the NPD in Baden-Wurtemberg elections. (A situation comparable to that which prevailed in Germany just before the Nazi Party won its first seats in the Reichstag in 1932, appears to be building .in the Federal Republic, according to Dr. Eugen Gerstenmaier, president of the Bundestag, West Germany's lower house. In a press intervic.v, Dr. Gerstenmaier predicted that the NPD is certain to win seats in the Bundestag in the 1969 elections.) In the Westphalian town of Unna, the NPD won 11.7 per cent of the vote while in Kamen its total was 7.5 per cent. Had the election been national instead of local, the right-wing party would have won four and two seats respectively, in the Bundestag, West Germany's lower house. In Hamm, the NPD polled 5.9 per cent. (The official East German news agency, ADN, reported in Ber- lin that members of NPD will no longer be admitted to East Ger- many. The ban includes party members traveling to West Berlin. Von Thadden said his party would get 10 per cent of the vote hl Baden-Wurtemberg where it is planning an all-out election drive. He said that NPD would hold 2,000 meetings throughout the state In and that it would distribute 7,000,000 electoral "newspapers." Von Thadden said he welcomed a purported statement by Chancellor Kurt Kiesinger that the NPD posed no threat to Germany democracy, (Related Story on Page 7) NEW YORK (JTA)—Yeshiva University has agreed to a request from rabbinical stu- dents in its Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Seminary to supend for one year the Orthodox semi- nary's participation in the Jewish community's self-imposed draft of newly-ordained rabbis for military chaplaincy duty because of student opposition to the Vietnam war. The student will instead have the option to volunteer for such duty. A spokesman for the Conservative Rabbinical Assembly disclosed that, because of similar opposition to the Vietnam war among some rabbinical studentg at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, the issue of Conservative participation in the chap- laincy program has been restudied by a special commission, and recommendations for future procedures will be submitted to the executive committee of the Rabbinical Assembly at its next annual convention March 25. The spokesman added that the issue as viewed in the Conservative rabbinate is not one of hawks versus doves on the war, but rather the proposition that if Jewish men are on duty in a war, however unpop- ular, the Jewish community has a responsibility to provide them with spiritual support through provision of chaplains. Opposition to United States involvement in Vietnam has been particularly sharp in Reform Judaism. However, Rabbi Sidney Regner, executive vice president of the Central Conference of American Rabbis, said there was no similar situation of widespread student debate on the war in the Reform seminary, the Jewish Institute of Religion-Hebrew Union College, and that the CCAR was continuing its participation in the Jewish chaplaincy draft program without change. Under long-established procedures, when a rabbinical student is ordained at each of the three seminaries, he is required to take a physical examination for possible chaplaincy duty before he can take a pulpit. Assuming he is physically fit, he is then available for assignment, through the Jewish Welfare Board's commission on Jewish chaplaincy. The Yeshiva University spokesman said that the one-year suspension became effective in January and that the issue will be reviewed at the end of the period. The one-year experiment in voluntary recruitment of military chaplains for rabbinic (Continued on Page 3) Egypt Rejects All Forms of Talks With Israel; U.S. Wants Israel and Arabs to Be ‘Flexible'; Controversy Over Blasting Terrorists' Homes JERUSALEM (JTA)—A completely neg- ative attitude by Egypt toward talks with Israel was communicated by Dr. Gunnar Jarring, the special United Nations emis- sary to the . Middle East, to Foreign Minister Abba Eban at a meeting here Sunday. It was learned, nevertheless, that Dr. Jarring, who brought his negative report from a five-hour meeting in Cairo last Thursday, did not consider his mission as having been forced to an end. He left Monday for Cyp- rus, where he has his headquarters, and from there will go to Amman, for more talks with Jordanian officials. Informed sources said that Dr. Jarring bad invited Egypt to send representatives So Cyprus for talks with Israel. However, Egyptian Foreign Minister Mahmud Riad was reported to have said, after meeting with Dr. Jarring, that Egypt rejected any form of talks, direct or indirect, with Israel. The Cairo newspaper, Al Abram, which often reflects President Nasser's views, re- ported Friday that Dr. Jarring was in- formed during his talks in Cairo Thursday that Egypt categorically refused to send representatives to Cyprus for such negotia- tions. There had been earlier unconfirmed Jarring to return soon to Jerusalem. He has LONDON— Palestinian Arabs on the occupied West Bank of the Jordan are angered by Nasser's apparent reluctance to negotiate a Middle East peace with Israel and many feel that a solution to their own problems must be something more than a handing back of the territory to King Hus- sein, Times correspondent Peter Nichols reported from Jerusalem Tuesday. France Stands Pat 'Refusing Release of Planes to Israel Nasser is thought here to be too weak either to renew the war with Israel or to- make peace, Nichols said while King Hus- sein, who is believed to be anxious for a settlement, must follow Nasser's lead. But there is a growing feeling among West Bank inhabitants that they are pawns in a power struggle. "Are we to be treated like grains of sand in the Sinai Desert?" they ask, reports that the Egyptions were willing to been visiting Cairo, Amman and Jerusalem participate in such talks with Dr. Jarring almost every week since he started his as a participant, a formula acceptable to mission. Official sources declined to con- firm reports that Israel had agreed to a Israel. Eban reiterated to the Swedish diplomat Jarring suggestion that "liaison officers" be that Israel would cooperate in any Jarring appointed at his Nicosia headquarters but invitation to face-to-face talks, but Israeli it was understood that such a proposal officials indicated they did not expect Dr. was in fact made and rejected by Egypt. PARIS (JTA)—Gen Zvi Tsur. Israel's deputy minister of defense, met with France's Defense Minister Pierre Messmer March 7 in talks which are believed to have centered around the -French government's continued embargo on 50 Mirage jet planes bought and partially paid for by Israel before last June's Middle East War. Gen. Tsur was accompanied by Gen. Mordechai Hod, chief of Israel's air force. Gen. Tsur said afterward that there was no change in the French position. Informed quarters here said that Gen. Tsur did not meet with a direct refusal to lift the embargo but was given to understand that deliveries of the planes would have to wait until some substantive progress had been made toward a Middle East settlement. Gen. Tsur and Gen. Hod were luncheon guests of the Belgian ministers of defense and economy in Brussels March 6. according to Nichols. There is no way to gauge the sentiment of West Bankers except to say that they are confused about Israel's intentions but are reluctant to return to the status quo ante, Nichols wrote.
