WASHINGTON—A cautious and compromising Nixon administra- tion policy toward the Arab- Israeli issue has been indicated by Presiders, Nixon's closest ad- visers. The administration is deep- ly concerned about the fate of Is- rael. Dr. Henry Kissinger met pri vateiy with about 40 leading Am- erican Jews. during the early days of the Nixon administration. Re- publi...an Jewish leader .)fax Fish- er of Detroit helped arrange the !nee ing. Jewish leaders emerged from the dialogue pleased by the insight displayed by Dr. Kissinger on Israel's probrems. Even such sophistic-at-xi old-timers as Sen. Jacob K. ...avitr. New York Re publican, were elated. - It meanwhile became apparent that the Republican Party was reaching out to broaden its ap- peal among Jews. A leading Wash- ington public relations man. War- ren Adler. was named special assiAant to the Republican Na- tional Committee chairman. Adler w as entrusted especially with advising on matters of Jewish interest. Early in September, pro- minent Republican women of Jew- ish faith were invited to Washing- ton to advise the Republican Na- tional Committee on priority issues involving the American Jewish community. A Jewish Women's - Advisory Council was conceived. Assistant GOP Chairman Elly M. Petersen stated frankly that "we are interested in broadening the base of support for the Re- publican Party nationally." The delivery ahead of schedule of Phantom jet fighter-bombers to Israel fulfilled President Nixon's campaign pledge. The Presi- dent's invitation to Israel Pre- mier Golda Meir was another dramatic gesture of friendship for Israel. But a behind-the scenes response to the escalation of violence across the cease-fire lines emerged. It suggested caution. President Nix- on's remarks to the United Na- tions General Assembly stressing American - Soviet pursuit of a Middle East settlement included a reference To a possible Big Power arms embargo. His position showed understanding of Israel's plight, but it suggested that Wash- The 94-year-old master of world cellists had come to Israel to con- duct the two performances of his peace oratorio "El Pessebre," to- gether with associate conductor Alexander Schneider. ington was not totally identified with the Israeli cause. The Nixon policy continued to adhere to commitment to a per manent peace based on agreement of the parties directly concerned. An "imposed" peace sought by Moscow was rejected. Meanwhile, the White House response to the fire at the Al Aksa mosque leaked out. It disclosed ambivalence on the Jerusalem issue. Arab outrage over the fire was seen in high places as a reminder that the character of Jerusalem is Arab as well as Jewish. The President's closest advisers could see no peace unless Israel concedes enough of a role to Mos- lems and Arabs in the future of Jerusalem to satisfy them that Islamic interests are protected. Since the Arabs do not accept Is- raeli presence in Jerusalem, in either the old or neW quarters, this poses a problem. Nothing less than total Israeli withdrawal may sat- isfy the Arabs. A theme of compromise by Is- rael has been bouncing back and forth between Kissinger and Sec- retary of State William P. Rog- ers. Israel will not be sold out, ' but neither can the Israelis ex- , pect unconditional support from Washington. Dr. Kissinger has told confidents that Israel's reliance on military strength may provide only an 11- lusion of security. He takes seri- ously the Arab war of attrition and the danger of Soviet involvement. He feels Israel must eventually be more- flexible but is entitled for the time being to buy U.S. arms to maintain a power balance. The Nixon-Kisinger-Rogers philosophy has yet to take complete shape. But the faint prologue suggests a symphony marked by notes of caution and compromise.
