Arab Rejection of Talks Nothing New
(Continued from Page 1 )
spokesman, Dr. Esmet Abbel-
Meguid, in Cairo last week, were
sharply contradicted by Al Ahram.
The newspaper said that Riad had
rejected the suggestion for a gath-
ering in New York and had made
it clear to Dr. Jarring that he
would not accept any invitation
to visit some other site for in-
direct talks with Israel.
Rivlin told newsmen that Dr.
Jarring had proposed once in
1968 and twice this year that
the foreign ministers of Egypt,
Jordan and Israel come to
site where he could confer with
them simultaneously in order to
facilitate his peace mission. The
first locale proposed was Nicosia,
Cyprus, where Dr. Jarring main-
tained headquarters during
more than a year of shuttling
between Jerusalem and the Arab
capitals. Foreign Minister Eban
went there, Rivlin disclosed; the
second proposal suggested Dr.
Jarring's headquarters in Ge-
neva, Switzerland, and the third
site was New York. In each
case Eban stated that he would
go anywhere if conditions for ,
peace negotiations existed but
in all three cases Dr. Jarring
was turned down by the Arab
foreign ministers, Rivlin said.
He confirmed that Eban told the
UN representatives last month
that Israel wos ready to send a
delegation to Rhodes and asked
him to pass that information to
the Egyptian foreign minister. Ob-
server here believe that this sug-
gestion was the basis for Dr. Jar-
ring's invitation to Riad to come
to New York next month.
According to Al Abram, Riad
told Dr. Jarring that attempts to
revive the Rhodes talks formula
"undermine the main objective of
your mission in the Middle East
. which is to implement the
(Security Council's Nov. 22, 1967) ,
resolution." Riad reportedly stat-
ed that Egypt accepted the Jar-
ring mission on that basis and add-
ed, "at a time when we welcome
a continuation of your contacts,
we refuse to discuss the details re-
lating to procedure, which do not
concern the heart of the matter,"
Al Ahram said.
Israeli circles regard Al Ali-
ram's contradiction of the report-
ed willingness by Egypt to engage
in Rhodes-type talks to reflect
Egypt's true position and to be
Egypt's final and authoritative
word on the subject. A leader of
the Arab Socialist Union, Egypt's
only political party, said in Cairo
Sunday that Egypt stands firmly
by the position taken at the Arab
summit conference in Khartoum in
August 1967—no recognition, no
negotiations and no peace with Is-
rael.
Jordan announced Sunday that
identified itself completely with
the Egyptian position.
here last week that the U.S. was
sounding out the Soviet attitude to-
, ward Rhodes-style talks but that
there was no indication of the
results of the Washington ap-
proach.
There were no official reac-
tions to U.S. St^retary of State
William P. Rogers' announce-
ment in Washington last week
that the Soviet Union agreed in
principle that there should be
Arab-Israeli peace negotiations.
But the official view here is
that there is little point in the
U.S, and Soviet Union working
out a common formula while the
Arab states openly and em-
phatically refuse any and all
types of negotiations with Israel,
whether direct, indirect or in
line with the 1949 Rhodes armis-
tice talks.
Elian told a press conference
Jarring returned to his post as
Sweden's ambassador to the Soviet
Union. His departure does not mean
a suspension in his mission, a
United Nations spokesman said.
While in Moscow, Dr. Jarring "will
continue to keep closely in touch
with developments and intends to
resume his active efforts at an
appropriate time," the spokesman
said.
U Thant issued what a - UN
spokesman termed an "exceptional
statement" denying formally a
radio news report that Dr. Jarring
was abandoning his mission.
"There is no truth-lin this (report).
Ambassador Jarring wishes to be
associated with this denial" of the
report over the Columbia Broad-
casting System, the spokesman
said.
The
"exceptional statement':
was made, he said, "because it is
felt that this incorrect report
could be very damaging to Ambas-
sador Jarring's mission."
Prime Minister Tunku Abdul
Rahman of Malaysia proposed in
the General Assembly that "as
a temporary expedient. and
pending a final settlement, the UN
itself should assume authority and
jurisdiction over Jerusalem" in or-
der to protect the Holy Places.
In one of the most bellicose
speeches heard so far in debate
which began Sept. 18. lie warned
that unless the UN took action to
enforce its Jerusalem decisions,
"the pressure of public opinion in
the Moslem world will certainly
Syrian authorities according to a
report by an Arab guerrilla or-
ganization is Amman, Jordan. The
Popular Front for the Liberation
of Palestine claimed that Leila
Khaled. and her partner, Selii»
Al-Eisawa were set free at mid-
night and have returned to their
commando bases.)
Israel was reported to be mount-
isg a strong campaign against the
election of Syria to a two-year
term on the UN Security Council
on the grounds that a nation which
holds captive victims of aerial hi-
jacking cannot be seated on a body
entrusted with safeguarding world
peace and international order. The
election of new Security Council
members will be held Monday.
In a dramatic appeal at the ban-
quet session of Hadassah's national
convention in New Orleans, Mrs.
Samueloff, speaking for herself
and Mrs. Tilda Muallem, called on
the U.S. government and TWA to
"live up to their obligations and
not to abandon our husbands to
their fate."
Mrs. Samueloff said that the
men have no connection with the
Israeli army and were not poli-
ticians. Muallem, she continued.
was returning to Israel from a
family, visit "and my husband
was returning from a scientific
trip to England where he had been
working with a group of English
scientists investigating the clima-
tic effect of heat on different eth-
nic groups."
She added that "Almost two
months have elapsed, and the world
seems to have forgotten our prob-
lem. We ask ourselves hoW can
anything like this happen in the
20th Century, when people can fly
to the moon yet nothing can be
done to get the release of two in-
nocent civilians."
The two women received a

standing ovation.
Schenk, national president, in an
emotional response, told the two
women that Hadassah would con-
for adoption of a resolution urging
the U.S. government, the Interna-
tional Pilots Association and other
concerned bodies to take prompt
and effective action to prevent air
piracy and its "catastrophic re-
sults."
An international meeting of sci-
entists in a Soviet city has urged
the United Nations to make every
effort to secure the release of
Prof. Samueloff.
The resolution was reported by
Prof. Aharon Katzir of the Weiz-
mann Institute, who just returned
from a meeting of the Interna-
tional Council of Scientific Unions
in Erevan, capital of Soviet Ar-
menia.
At the United Nations, the Gen-
eral Assembly's steering commit-
tee agreed to place the subject of
aerial hijacking on the agenda for
a full-scale debate. The committ2e
acted on an 11-nation petition
which said it had become "urgent"
for the United Nations to devise
legal methods which might be un-
dertaken by member states to
prevent further air piracy.
The only serious objection to the
agenda item was raised by the So-
viet delegate, Jacob A. Malik, who
questioned the motivation behind
the issue at a time -when "some
circles engage in a noisy piopa-
ganda about some individual cases
of hijacking."
The hackers of the General As-
sembly debate submitted a draft
resolution calling on individual na- •
tions to provide for the prosecution
of hijackers and guarantee the
prompt release of the passengers, '
crew and aircraft involved. The '
nations are The Netherlands, Ar-
gentina, Belgium, Brazil. Canada,
Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Le-
sotho. Luxembourg. Madagascar,
and New Zealand.

quences on world peace."
