Israelis _Belittle Reported Soviet Peace Plan'
While White House press secre-
tary George Christian refused to
comment on reports that the USSR
had approached the United States
with a peace plan for the Middle
East, the reaction in Israel was
that the reported proposal contain-
ed nothing new. Israel insists on a
basic policy requiring direct talks
with the Arabs as a prior condition
to any withdrawal from occupied
ares.
Meanwhile it has been indicated
that President Johnson is prepar-
ing for a summit meeting with
USSR leaders to discuss the Mid-
dle East problem in what is feared
by Congressional spokesmen to
mean concessions on Vietnam.
The resignation of George Ball
as U.S. ambassador to the UN to
join the forces supporting presiden-
tial candidate Hubert H. Humph-
rey is believed to have some rela-
tion to the developing situations.
Ball's successor is J. Russell Wig-
gins, editor of the Washington
Post.
An Israel fore i g n minister

London Daily Telegraph t h at
Foreign Minister A b b a Eban
would present Israel's plan for
ideas and views that may pro-
mote peace in the area. Observ-
ers here took the denial to mean
that territorial requests will not
be touched on by Eban.
Ebarr, said in London he would
outline a plan before the General
Assembly based on peace originat-
ing in the Middle East, not engi-
neered by outside parties. His ref-
erence was obviously to the Soviet
four-point peace proposal offered
to Washington which Israel has re-
jected.
Critical of the Sept. 25• warning
from Moscow that Israeli policies
are endangering peace in the Mid-
dle East, Eban termed it another
"in a series of sterile warnings,
always unilaterally supporting the
Arab position and threats." He
charged that Soviet rearmament
and support of the Arab states
were responsible for the increased
tension in the area.
Israel's Deputy Prime Minister
Yigal Allon„ addressing the For-
eign Press Association in London,
said, "This is but another contribu-
tion to the tension in the Middle
East and is irrelevant to the actual
situation," because Israel plans no
crossings of the cease-fire lines.
An official statement issued by
the foreign ministry in Jerusalem
denounced the Soviet warning as
"slander" and "the clarion call
with which the Soviet propaganda
machine heralds its 'fall offensive'
on the occasion of the opening of
the 23rd General Assembly." The
statement accused the Soviet Uni-
on of issuing its warning to Israel
to divert world opinion to the Mid-
dle East as a "smokescreen" to
cover its invasion of the territory
of Czechoslovakia.

Israel would retain a corridor
to the Allenby Bridge, near Jeri-
cho, and a salient of Jordinian
territory near Latruxi which com-
mands the Jerusalem-Tel A v i v
highway, Loshak reported. He said
that the "Allon Plan" was formu-
lated as an alternative to a plan
advocated by Defense Minister.
Gen. Moshe Dayan which envis-
aged the West Bank. as an autono-
mous region containing Israeli
bases. An advantage of the "Allon
Plan," Loshak wrote, is that it
would give Israel additional se-
curity without bringing more than
about 6,000 Arabs under permanent
Israeli rule.
Another w a r in the Middle
East appears more likely now
than it did a few months ago,
Gen. Dayan said in a speech.
He declared that the situation

deteriorated. He also declared.
without elaboration, that if a
permanent p e a c e settlement
was not reached, Israel might
have to modify its policy in the
occupied areas. In London, Eban
said he did not see war as likely.
The four-point So v i e t Middle
East peace plan was angrily de-
nounced by Menachem Beigin,
leader of the Herut Party and a
minister-without-portfolio in t h e
national coalition government. Be-
igin called the proposal a "Com-
munist plot that threatens geno-
cide" and urged U.S. opposition
to it.
The Soviet plan, now under study
by the U.S. State Department, stip-
ulated complete Israeli withdrawal
from the occupied Arab territories
in return for a declaration of non-
belligerence by the Arabs, a four-
power guarantee of peace in the
region and the establishment of a
United Nations force in the evacu-
ated territories.
Sources close to the British For-
eign Office, in London said that
"this plan would suit the Arabs but
will not suit Israel since it does
not guarantee her peace or equali-
ty in navigation. The Arabs will
like it because it offers them evac-
uation by Israel without humilia-
tion and absolves them of the need
to negotiate." There was no official
British comment on the plan.
The Israel cabinet agreed to ac-
cept a United Nations emissary to
study conditions of Arabs in the oc-
cupied territories but only on con-
dition that the emissary be
permitted to inform himself on the
condition of Jews in the Ara b
countries.
The cabinet's decision was a re-
iteration of Israel's previous stand
on the s o-c a Iled humanitarian
mission which has been criticized
by United Nations Secretary Gen-
eral U Thant. The Security Council,
by a 12-0 vote last Friday, adopted
a resolution asking the Secretary-
General to send another emissary

The Daily Telegraph's Jerusa-
lem correspondent David Loshak
reported that Israel would offer
the so-called "Allon Plan" to the
General Assembly which, the writ-
er said, A r a b and Palestinian
sources indicated may be accept-
able. According to Loshak, Israel
would offer to return most of the
West Bank to Jordan, with the ex-
ception of East Jerusalem, and
would offer Jordan access to a
all along that it had no objec-
tion to anyone studying conditions
in the occupied territories. But
Israel considers the pr es e n t
plight of the Jews in Arab coun-
tries to be a direct result of the
June 1967 war and therefore has
demanded that an investigation
into it be included in a second
emissary's terms of reference.
They pointed out that the first
such emissary, Nils Goran-Guss-
ing, who visited the area last year,
was admitted to Egypt, Syria and
Lebanon but was unable to say
anything about the condition of
Jews there in his report because
he was not given sufficient infor-
mation.
The Oct. 25 resolution, presented
by Pakistan and Senegal, regretted
the delay in carrying out a June
14, 1967, resolution which called for
a humanitarian survey of the Arab
territories occupied by Israel in
the Six-Day War. It deplored the
failure of Israel to carry out the
resolution "because of the condi-
tions still being set by Israel for
receiving a special representa-
tive." Thant, in a statement last
summer, held that Israel's demand
for a survey of Jewish conditions
in the Arab countries was outside
the scope of the June 14, 1967
resolution.
Prime Minister Levi Eshkol took
sharp issue with statements made
by UN Secretary General U Thant
in his report to the 23rd session' of
the General Assembly which was
published in New York last Oct.
24. Eshkol, acting foreign minis-
ter while Eban is abroad, voiced
his criticism in a report on inter-
national affairs to the cabinet.
The Thant statements, in the
preface to, his report on UN activi-
ties bet w e e n June 16, 1967 and
June 15, 1968, were criticized
earlier in Israeli circles as a slap
at Israel's insistence on face-to-
face peace talks with the Arabs.
Eshkol said Sunday that Thant's
assertation that the 1949 Israel-
Arab armistice talks on Rhodes
had begun as indirect talks was
false and therefore a cause of con-
cern to Israel.
He said it was also wrong for
Thant to have implied that by in-
sisting on direct peace talks, Is-
rael was placing obstacles in the
way of UN Ambassador Gunnar
V. Jarring's peace mission.
Eshkol said Thant was incorrect
when he observed that incidents
must be expected whenever a re-
gime of occupation exists. Inci-
dents in the occupied areas do
not arise from the local population,
Eshkol maintained, but are cre-
ated by the governments across
