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 M a x Mrs. 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.
