'Open Bridges' Policy Aids West Bank
Arabs; $5,100,000 War Damages Paid

Minister Moshe Dayan toured the
Jordan Valley and remarked that
the "open bridges" policy was
serving the Arab population well
and was being carried out in good
order. The "open bridges" policy
permits West Bank Arabs freedom
of movement to and from Jordan
across bridges spanning the river.

The Israeli finance ministry
paid out $5,100,000 in war dam-
ages during the last fiscal year
to border settlements that have
been targets of Arab attack, the
Treasury reported. The control-
ler of income and payments said
the sum was similar to that paid
during fiscal 1967.
Business circles noted that Is-
raeli merchants would have to pay
over $1.500,000 extra on cargoes as
a result of a special surcharge
planned by the various steamship
conferences serving Israeli ports.
The surcharges are imposed begin-
ning Aug. 25 unless measures are
taken to end labor troubles on
Israeli docks. Disputes at Haifa
and Ashdod, Israel's principal ports
have delayed the loading and dis-
charge of cargo resulting in worse
than normal congestion. The gov-
ernment-owned Zim Lines, itself a
member of most freight confer-
ences, failed to prevail upon for-
eign shipping lines to abandon the
surcharge.

LONDON (JTA)—A policy-mak
ing body of the World Council of
Churches Aug. 20 gave its support ;
to Arab demands that Israel with-
draw from the territories it occu-
pied in the June 1967 war. But it
also went on record in supoort of
the political independence and ter-
ritorial integrity of all nations in
the Middle East, including Israel.
Tne council represents 241 Protes-
tant and Orthodox Catholic denomi-
notions.
Its 120-member central commit.
tee. meeting in Canterbury, adopt-
ed a resolution supporting the Se-
curity Council's Nov. 22. 1967 '
resolution which calls for an Is-
raeli withdrawal as part of the
peace process.
The committee stated. "In sup
porting the establishment of the:
state of Israel without protect4ig
the rights of Palestinians, injustice
has been done to Palestinian Arabs
by the great powers which should
be redressed." It noted "with deep
concern the constant deterioration
of the Middle East situation and
the increasing threat of an ex-
plosion which could affect the
peace of the world."
It declared, "No lasting peace
is possible without respecting the
legitimate rights of the Palestin-
ian and Jewish people living in
the area and without effective
international guarantees for the
political independence and terri-
torial integrity of all nations in
the area, including Israel."
MAGEN DAVID ADOM
Magen David Adorn, Israel's first
aid organization, was founded in
Tel Aviv in 1930. By 1958, it had
some 50 branches organized into
10 districts, as well as first-aid
stations in around half of Israel's
villages.
however, according to the spokes-
man's comments.
McCloskey suggested that Mos-
cow and Washington were doing
whatever could be done to ease
tensions resulting from the El
Aksa Mosque fire, but the United
States would oppose "anything ex-
traordinary." It was not clear
from his remarks whether the
United States and Soviet Union
were cooperating to ease the ten-
sions of the last few days. He was
questioned about this.
McCloskey indicated that the So-
viet Union might not have done
everything it could have and that
some gaps remained. It remained
unclear whether this related to
Moscow's response to the mosque
fire alone or to her general poli-
cies in the Middle East. The
spokesman said he knew of no de-
velopment related to a reported
French proposal for renewal of the
Big Four Mid East talks at the
United Nations.
(McCloskey said Monday that So-
viet naval maneuvers in Egyptian
and Syrian waters, reported by
NATO headquarters in Naples, bore
watching and did not go unnoticed.
The State Department spokesman
said he did not want to raise an
alarm but he did want to give the
assurance that the general matter
of increased Russian naval activity
in the Mediterranean was being
observed.)

WASHINGTON (JTA) — Prime
Minister Golda Meir has accepted
an invitation from the American
labor movement to address the na-
tional convention of the AFL-CIO
at Atlantic City Oct. 2.
Mrs. Meir will go to Atlantic
City in the course of a tour that
will follow her official visit to
Washington in late September as
the guest of President Nixon.
The AFL-CIO decided to honor
Mrs. Meir, a veteran worker in the
labor movement, when it was
learned that she would be in the
United States at the time of the
Atlantic Ciy convenion. The AFL-
CIO has taken a strong pro-Israel
stand and maintains close ties with
Histadrut, the Israeli Federation of
Labor.
