the situation in the Middle East.
which he described as "heating up
most dangerously." He said that
his daily reports to the Security
Council had shown that the cease-
fire agreements which ended the
Six-Day War in June 1967 had
broken down completely and were
now completely ineffective, parti-
cularly in the Suez sector. Both
sides, he said, were committing
breaches which have increased in
number and intensity.
He described as "unprecedent-
ed" in UN annals, public an-
nouncements from both sides of
military actions in violation of
the cease fire.

discussing the supply of
arms to Israel. Rep. Ford said
the administration "w o u 1 d, of
course, prefer restraint in the ship-
ment of arms into this troubled
area. But we are aware of what
other major powers are doing.
We are maintaining a very care-
ful vigilance. We will not hesi-
tate to take the steps required."
The United States, he declared, is
"deeply engaged in trying to help
the people of the Middle East find
peace. But we will not do this
at the expense of Israel. Indeed,
we will not do this at the ex-
pense of any nation's legitimate
interests. No peace agreement
will be worth the paper it's written
on if either side ends up cheated
and bent on violent redress as
soon as it has adequate power."
He pledged that "This administra-
tion is not going to negotiate the
peace in the Middle East. There
is no question of our negotiating
away the basic rights and inter-
ests of the nations now at war.
They must negotiate the peace
themselves." He said that "the
Soviet Union or Egypt or anyone
else would be badly misguided to
conclude that the United States is
going to high-pressure Israel into
unilateral withdrawal."

The Republican leader sharp-
ly condemned the French de-
cision to provide Mirage jet
fighters to Libya, pointing out
that "the huge new Infusion of
arms into a hotbed of conten-
tion does not help reduce vi-
olence or fatalities."

The issue, he indicated, would
figure largely in talks in Wash-
ington during President Georges
Pompidou's forthcoming visit. Rep.
Ford disclosed that the adminis-
tration currently is "looking into
the broader question of the Medi-
terranean, the mission of the U.S.
Sixth Fleet and related factors."
He declared that "We do not want
a confrontation with the Soviet
Union or anyone else. But we have
commitments in the Mediterranean
and the right to maintain military
forces there."
The 1,600 communal, civic and
Zionist leaders at the meet-
ing were read messages from Presi-

NEW YORK (JTA)—Rabbi Mau-

"monumental hypocrisy in its

of the Four Powers and would
be on the agenda for the meet-
ing Thursday. One of the Big
Four, he said, had presented
"certain ideas" on the subject
which were to be discussed. The
secretary general said that he
had been concerned with the
cease-fire question and had ask-
ed Lt. Gen. Odd Bull, head of
the UN observation mission in
the Middle East, to return to UN
headquarters for consultations.

Meetings with Gen. Bull, he
said, had been "very fruitful" and
Gen. Bull would return to his Jeru-
salem headquarters.

The secretary general firmly
ruled out any new approach to
the Arab-Israeli issue which might
involve scrapping the Security
Council resolution of Nov. 22,
1967, the basis for present peace
efforts and for the Jarring mis-
sion. He emphasized that he would
not take a new initiative under the
UN Charter, as his predecessor
Dag Hammarskjold had done in
the Congo crisis.

CLOSING RALLY

Address by

Leon H. Keyserling

Chairman, Council of Economic
(
Advisers during the
Truman administration.

Internationally prominent
economist and president of
the National Committee for
Labor Israel.

Mr. Keyserling's topic will be:

Asked what would be the value
of a limitation on arms shipments
to the Middle East, Thant said
that, in principle, he favored arms
limitation, particularly of highly
sophisticated arms. But he warn-
ed it would be misleading to leave
the matter there, pointing out
that no restriction of arms ship-
ments was self-executing.

He said that he had reported
on the Egyptian demand and his
decision to withdraw the UN
forces to the General Assembly
within 24 hours. Not one of the
126 member states of the UN, he
said, had ever privately suggested
to him that a Security Council
meeting should be convened to
deal with the situation.

deems that necessary," Thant as-
serted. He stressed that he would
not take any initiative to super-
sede the Security Council's action.

The last part of the press con-
ference was devoted by Thant to
a long and frequently impassioned
defense of his policies and actions
in a number of crises going back
to the withdrawal of the United
Nations Emergency Force from the
. the
Sinai Peninsula in 1967
that largely precipitated
action
the Six-Day War.
