deployment within 32 miles of the
canal on either side. The Israel
'government accepted the cease
fire, risking the walkout of the
Gahal faction and the breakup of
the three-year coalition, largely on
President Nixon's assurances that
military buildups would be pre-
vented by surveillance. The new
missiles were said by sources to
have been borne to the canal front
from 20 miles away in 30 trucks.
There was speculation that the
missiles may have been placed im-
mediately prior to the beginning of
the ceasefire, and that they were
not noticed by Israeli surveillance
until the sun started coming up.
The administration, however, prob-
ably - would deem the move a vio-
lation in spirit of the ceasefire
by Egypt, which, while not formal-
ly accepting the ban on buildups,
did not reject it either.
(Columnist Joseph Alsop said
SAM-2s and SAM-3s had been em-
placed in the "special combat
zone" west of the canal a few days
before the ceasefire in defiance of
Secretary Rogers' warning to So-
viet Ambassador Anatoly F. Dob-
rynin that Soviet penetration into
the 19-mile-wide strip paralleling
the waterway would be regarded
by the United States as an offen-
sive move. "The main point," Al-
sop wrote, "is that all these Soviet
forward moves were made after
the American government took its
famous initiative for peace. The
more wishful American analysts
are now claiming that the ad-
vanced missile emplacements in
the special combat zone have been
abandoned. They are probably
wrong, as they have been quite
regularly wrong in the past." Al-
sop, who has followed a hard-line
pro-Israel stance, said "simple
common sense ought to warn the
American policy makers that ap-
paling dangers may lurk in talks
with the Egyptians and their So-
viet masters because of the new
situation. -
(In New York, United Nations
spokesmen said Wednesday after-
noon they had no official word on
the reports They said they could
not say whether missile place-
ments or other cease-fire violations
had been observed by the UN
Truce Supervision Organization
(UNTSO), but added that if there
were any violations, UNTSO would
report them.)

Israel Disturbed by Letter
From Jarring to Thant
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (JTA )
—The sequence of events leading
up to the controversial letter from
Ambassador Gunnar V. Jarring to
Secretary General U Thant on Aug.
7 emerged here Wednesday. A
United Nations, spokesman admit-
ted that none of the three parties
— Israel. Egypt and Jordan—was
shown the text of the letter in
advance although it outlined the
basis and objectives of the Ameri-
can peace initiative which, accord-
ing to U. S. Secretary of State Wil-
liam P. Rogers, all three had ac-
cepted.
Israel was deeply disturbed by
the Jarring letter because it omit-
ted the key condition of Israel's
acceptance of the American plan.
The condition, contained in Israel's
official note of reply to the U. S.,
was that withdrawal of Israeli
forces from occupied Aral) terri-
tories and future boundaries were
to be determined by peace agree-
ments. Conditions and reservations
in the Egyptian note of acceptance
were also omitted from the Jar-
ring letter. Jordan's reply is be-
lieved to have been identical to
Egypt's. The UN spokesman said
that Rogers came to the UN direct-
ly from the San Clemente summer
White House on Aug. 3 and met
with Thant,. Jarring and Under-
secretary General Dr. Ralph
Bunche. On Aug. 5 the Four Pow-
