Arthur Goldberg Blames Extremists for Negro Anti-Semitism (Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News) LONDON= Arthur J. Goldberg, president of the American Jewish Committee, charged here Tuesday that publicity was responsible for exaggerating the extent of Negro anti-Semitism in the United States. The former justice of the U.S. Supreme Court and former U. S. ambassador to the United Nations addressed a meeting of the Anglo-Jewish Association. He said the Negro community in America is not an anti-Semitic community, that: "It is extremists who have shown anti-Semitic tendencies. The anger in this situation is that the Jewish community might relinquish its proven position of fighting Tor equal rights Negroes." Goldberg said Jews and Negroes were natural allies in the struggle for human rights. for (Goldberg told a press conference here that the UN Security Council's Nov. 22, 1967, Mid-East resolution which he helped draft . was a call for an over-all peace settlement between the parties directly concerned.

Fisher of Detroit as an informal adviser and liaison link with Jewry. Mr. Fisher, a leader of the United Jewish Appeal, United Israel Appeal and the American Jewish Corn- mittee, is a prominent Republican who took an important role in the re- cent election. After the President's press conference on the Middle East, a White House Spokesman clarified the Nixon-Fisher relationship. -The spokesman described Max M. Fisher Mr. FisAer as "a very close -friend ef the President" who would serve as a -"conduit" linking Mr. Nixon with the Jewish com- munity. The President will rely upon Mr. Fisher for a consensus of Jewish thinking. Also, White House views would be disseminated through Mr. Fisher, according to the spokesman. It would be "a two- way street," he said. Mr. Fisher would not be an adviser in the formal sense, it was explained. His advisory role would differ from that of Meyer Feldman, who served Presidents Kennedy and Johnson, or Maxwell Rabb, who worked for President Eisenhower. Mr. Fisher would enjoy a wider latitude, free from the disciplines of the official staff. The White House cited the designation of Mr. Fisher as a member of the official party that represented the President at the funeral of Israel Premier Levi Eshkol. This was taken to indicate that he would enjoy both an official and private capacity in his informal role as the President's confidant on matters of Jewish interest. Mr. Fisher meanwhile has aided Secretary George Romney of the Department of Housing and Urban Development on urban problems. The Jewish • leader was designated by Mr. Nixon during the :campaign to advise on urban affairs. He also headed the "Concerned Citizens for Nixon" and Other political groups. It was pointed out that President Nixon has already consulted in detail with Mr. Fisher and _Congressional leaders friendly to Israel as Ameri- can policy on Israel is formulated. Further meet- ings, to include various American Jewish leaders, ..ire anticipated in the near. future. . Peace suffered a setback and all-but-a-full-scale war dampened the spirits of Israelis who have been clamoring for accord with the Arabs as a result of the series of events resulting from a bomb ex- plosion at the Hebrew University, the renewal of fighting along the Suez and the continuing threats from Arab guerrilla forces that their activities will not be diminished. Efforts are being made in world capitals to speed negotiations through the intercession of the four powers—United States, Great Britain, France and the Soviet Union—at the United Nations, but ter- rorism may have aggravated and hindered rather than speeded deliberations. Three Israelis were killed and 14 wounded in the fighting that erupted last Saturday and Sunday when Egyptians, as charged by UN Truce Chief Gen. Odd Bull reported, opened the attacks. Heavy losses were suffered by the Egyptians when Egyptian oil refineries were set afire during the retaliation by Israel's forces. From Jerusalem it was reported that Hebrew University's hopes to attract Arab students from within Israel and from Arab countries may have suffered a setback and it is believed that terrorists re- sorted to bombing in the university cafeteria in order to lessen contacts between Arabs and Israelis and to create disaffection. Hebrew University President Avraham Harman stated, however, that the terrorists would not "close our hearts to the Arab students" by such tactics. In Cairo, Egyptian mobs cried for vengeance at the funeral of Gen. Abdel Moneim Riad, the Egyptian chief of staff, who was killed during Israel's shelling of Egyptian positions at the Suez Canal. Gen. Riad, who became Egypt's chief of staff after the Six-Day War, had directed the Egyptian-Jordanian command prior to the war in June of 1967. He reportedly received training in the Soviet Union. The murder on Tuesday of three veteran Israeli paratroopers by saboteurs who, shielded by an Arab woman with two infants, added to the indignation in Israel over the type of warfare conducted by the guerrillas. Israeli soldiers are under orders never to hurt women and children and the trap for the three victims of the latest assault resulted from adherence to this rule. New clashes on Tuesday were described as "at least as heavy" as Saturdays and Sundays artillery duels. JTA reports that Israeli sources said Tuesday's battle developed as a result of Egyptian sniping which escalated into an exchange of automatic weapon and machine- gun fire.-By late afternoon, big guns on both side were brought into action from Port Suez in the south to Qantara in the north. Israeli officials said Egypt had rejected a cease-fire request from United Nations observers. During a lull in the fighting Monday, Israeli positions along the canal were inspected separately by Defense Minister Moshe Dayan and Yigal Allon, who is acting prime minister of Israel until the appointment of Mrs. Golda Meir is confirmed. Both were accompanied on their tours by Maj. Gen. Chaim Bar-Lev, chief of staff of Israel's armed forces. Allon declared later that "if Egypt renews its aggression" along the Suez Canal, Israel "will reply in strength." The Israeli fortifications were reportedly far stronger than they were last Oct. 26, the occasion of another Egyptian artillery barrage that took 15 lives. (The semi-official Cairo daily Al Ahram reported Tuesday that "troops were being massed and new military preparations made. The paper referred to "a state of maximum alert" and said new fighting could break out momentarily.) On Sunday, an Israeli foreign ministry spokesman said that the artillery duel was premeditated and initiated by the Egyptian high corn- ' (Continued on Page 48) Nixon-Eban Meeting Set for Today (Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News) WASHINGTON—President Richard M.
