JERUSALEM—Alfred Atherton,
head of the Israel-Arab desk in
the U.S. State Department, who
accompanied United Nations Am-
bassador George Ball and Assis-
tant Secretary of State Joseph
Sisco on their tour of Arab capi-
tals, returned here for conferences.
The American diplomats had vis-
ited Amman, Beirut and Jeddo
after their call here and Ambassa-
dor Ball and Sisco then went on
to the Far East.
Atherton was to confer with U.S.
embassy a n d consular officials
here, and was also expected to
meet Israel foreign ministry ex-
perts who were expected to give
him their views on developments
in Iraq. Israel sources said that
Atherton brought no new proposals
and would not conduct any negotia-
tions here. It was believed pos-
sible, however, t h at he would
relay to Israeli officials and
American representatives here at-
titudes expressed in the A r a b
countries he has just visited.
(When Ball visited Beirut, Leb-
anon, last week, after he had con-
ferred first with Israelis in
Jerusalem and later with Jordan-
ians in Amman, he was greeted by
Demonstrators throwing stones and
chanting "Go home!" The car of
U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon
Dwight J. Porter was struck by a
stone. Ball was riding with him in
his car. There were about 100 dem-
onstrators who waved a banner
that said: "The Arab nations will
never forget U.S. support for
Israel!"
