participate in the planned sym-
posia. Arabs did not budge. The
Israeli suspicions proved correct.
There was no response from
enemy ranks, although Jacobs
did meet with Arabs and New
Leftists and their associates on
numerous occasions.
Jacobs' depressing story, his ac-
count of a failure to get the two
sides together, is told in "Between
the Rock and the Hard Peace,"
that the Beirut American Uni-
versity is a source of much trou-
ble: it is the best where the anti-
Israel propagandists get their
training and many of them
spread the venom in this country
and elsewhere.
While Jacobs exposes the ex-
tremism of some Israelis—his re-
port of the symposium in Tel Aviv
is one of the revealing indications
of the concern in Israel among

Nasser Again Rejects Cease Fire
GENEVA (JTA) — United Na-
tions Secretary General U Thant
announced here, after a meeting
with Gunnar Jarring, that the
UN special representative would
not resume his Mid East peace-
- seeking mission, at least in the
immediate future.
The UN official noted that Dr.
Jarring was reluctant to return
to the region simply to resume
his "fruitless" rounds of visits to
Jerusalem and the Arab capitals.
The secretary general said he
was optimistic about posibilities
of Four Power agreement, declar-
ing he had studied the United
States, Soviet and French pro-
posals and that he' had found
"common denominators" which
could be translated into guide-
lines.
PARIS (JTA)—President Gamal
Abdel Nasser of Egypt rejected
proposals to restore the cease fire
along the Suez Canal but decalred
that he was ready for peace with
Israel if Israel withdrew from all
occupied Arab territories and
agreed to accept or compensate
Arab refugees. Nasser's stipula-
tions for peace were contained in
an interview published by Le
Monde. The interviewer, Eric Rou-
leau, reported that during the
interview the Egyptian leader
claimed that he never wanted war
with Israel and that the two coun-
tries could eventually have normal
economic and diplomatic relations
although that was a very long-term
prospect.
Nasser's rejection of the cease
fire in the canal zone was re-
garded as Erivnt's reply to Pre-
mier Golda Meir's statement in
the Knesset that Israel would halt
military activities if the Arabs did.
With respect to the status of
Jerusalem, he said the Old City
must be returned to Jordan but
the entire city could remain open
and unified by agreement of both
sides. Nasser claimed that the
only issue outstanding between
his country and Israel at the time
of the latter's independence in 1948
was the refugee problem. Had
Israel accepted the United Nations
resolution to permit the return of
the refugees or to compensate
them for their property "We would
have established a genuine peace
20 years ago." Now, he added, the
situation has been complicated by
Israel's occupation of Arab ter-
ritory.
TEL AVIV (JTA) — There must
be no territorial concessions what-
ever to the Arabs, Gen. Ezer
Weizmann, Israel's minister of
transport, declared at a United
Jewish Appeal fund-raising dinner.
He told his audience, "We must
be suffering from some psychosis
to think that we have to give
back territory." He maintained:
"Once the ancestral Israel is on
our hands, any talks with the
Arabs must be centered on Israel's
rights with no territorial conces-
sion." Gen. Weizmann, a nephew
of the late Dr. Chaim Weizmann,
Israel's first president, did not
specify what he meant by "ances-
tral Israel."

Suit Against Israel Seeks
to End Army Exemptions
of 5,000 Yeshiva Students
intellectuals as well as the fears—
and the feelings as they exist be-
come a matter of the record of
what is transpiring today.
Jacobs certainly can not be con-
sidered a propagandist for Israel.
He can not be viewed as a Zionist.
But in his report he admits to a
reality: when the Arabs speak of
hatred for Zionism they really do
not mean it: their hatred is for the
Jew.
JERUSALEM (JTA)—An army
reserve officer has brought suit
against the government to end the
exemption of yeshiva students
from military service. The suit
named Defense Minister Moshe
Dayan.
The Supreme Court opened hear-
ings and will decide whether Gen.
Dayan will be required to answer
the suit. Yeshiva students in Israel
have been exempt from military
service since the state was estab-
lished in 1948. They remain one
of the few draft exempt groups in
a country where every able-bodied
male and female faces military
conscription.
The plaintiff in the case, a
mathematics student, claimed that
the policy was politically motivated
and therefore invalid. He sal the
exempt status of some 5,000 yeshi-
va students imposed undue hard-
ship on reservists who must serve
for longer periods owing to the na-
tion's mounting defense needs since
the Six-Day War.
He said his own studies had been
intreferred with and that the draft-
ing of yeshiva students would ease
the burden somewhat for all.
There are several instances of
his quotations from assertions by
Arabs in which it is the Jews
who are the objects of their hate,
and the Jews are blamed for
everything. The Zionist bogey
emerges merely as a ruse.
