THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
`Serious Discussion' Due 34—Friday, June 13, 1969
With U.S.—Mrs. Meir
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Premier
Golda Meier said Israel faces "ser
ious and difficult" discussions
with the United States over the
future of the Middle East but cau-
tioned that one should distinguish
between differences that must be
ironed out between friends and the
differences with Israel's enemies
who refuse any form of discussion.
Mrs. Meir spoke at a press lunch-
en marking the dedication of Boit
Agron, the new journalists' center
here. It is named in memory of the
late Gershon Agron, the American-
born former mayor of Jersusalem
who founded the Palestine Post in
the early 1930s. today known as the
Jerusalem Post, Israel's only Eng-
lish-language daily.
• The premier said she saw no lag
in support of Israel on the part of
world Jewry despite the promin-
ence given to the views of some
Jews who criticize Israel's policies.
She thought the latter were out-
side the "mainstream of Jewish
thought" and said their opinions
have not affected such bodies as
the World Jewish Congress, the
Conference of Jewish Organizations
(COJO) or the Conference of Presi-
dents of Major American Jewish
Organizations.
