USSR Missile Shifts Protested to UN (Continued from Page 13) Canal can he expected as a result of Israel's complaints. Israel is convinced the U.S. knows the vio- lation charges are true but that it does not want to acknowledge the fact for fear of torpedoing Secre- tary of State William P. Rogers' entire peace plan, sources told the JTA. Israel will react, but the de- gree of vehemence will depend to 'some extent on American reassur- ances in other fields, they said. Gen. Rabin said Tuesday night that he had pointed out to the Americans that the situation on the Suez Canal would be far more serious than before if hostilities were to resume because of the Egyptian violations. He declined to comment on arms supplies from the U.S. or to say where the Amer- icans were conducting truce sur- veillance flights. According to Rabin. the American peace initia- tive had its genesis in the worsen- ing situation on the Suez Canal front, which convinced the U.S. that Israel could not hold its de- fense line long in face of increased Soviet intervention. In order to prevent the situation from escalat- ing, the U.S. made its proposal in an effort to effect political solu- tion, Rabin said. Laird's Statement Doubt of Israel Charge WASHINGTON (JTA) — Secre- tary of Defense Melvin Laird said that the United States would offer "protection" to both sides during the 90-day cease fire in the Middle East. He said, however, that it was "very difficult to prove or dis- prove" Israel's charges that Egypt violated the cease fire by moving Russian-made SAM missiles into the prohibited zone hours after it went into effect. Laird appeared on "Issues and Answers," an ABC television net- work program, Sunday. His offer of "protection" implied that the U.S. was maintaining surveillance of both sides in the cease fire. He said the U.S. was studying the situation, "very carefully and very thoroughly." Laird hinted that the administra- tion was impatient with Israel's charges. He said it would serve "no useful purpose to have a pub. lie debate on what went on 12 hours before or 12 hours after" the cease fire began. A few minutes later Mr. Laird made the statement that it was difficult to prove missile move- ments "up to 18 hours either side of the cease fire." He insisted the the United States possessed the "best means of verification." Ask- ed if U.S. intelligence was better than Israeli intelligence, Laird re- plied, "Our intelligence is better.'' 25 Students Spending Summer Learning Yiddish NEW YORK — Twenty-five stu- dents from the United States, Can- ada and Mexico have been spend- ing the summer in the intensive study of Yiddish language and lit- erature. This third annual Uriel Weinreich Yiddish Language Pro- gram is sponsored by Columbia University in cooperation with YIVO Center for Advanced Jewish Studies. The program includes three hours of formal classroom instruction Monday through Friday; individual language laboratory sessions twice a week; an afternoon program of supplementary lectures, folk sing- ing and visits to places of Jewish interest three times per week; and an average of five hours per day of homework. The students will re- ceive four college credits upon completion. Most are graduate students or upperclassmen at universities and colleges. There are also two high school seniors and one college pro- fessor in the group. Ranging from campus radicals to Orthodox Jews, Zionists and non-Zionists, they were brought together by a com- mon desire to acquaint themselves with Yiddish culture. He refused to comment on reports that high altitude U-2 planes were carrying out aerial reconnaissance over the cease-fire zone. Asked if the Soviet Union was performing reconnaissance in the region, he replied, we must "assume" they are. Laird insisted that the "im- portant thing is for us to move for- ward" with negotiations. "We need to get on now with the business of a settlement in the Middle East," he said. Asked if the U.S. is send- ing more jets to Israel, he said the U.S. will "continue to maintain the proper balance in the Mid East," adding, on that "we have made our position clear." Disclosure by Eban: Egypt Still Violating JERUSALEM (JTA) — Foreign Minister Abba Eban said Egypt was continuing to violate the cease- fire agreement and that Israel lodged a complaint with Maj. Gen. Ensio Siilaysuo, the chief of staff of the United Nations Truce Super- vision Organization. The foreign minister said "a site that had been empty on Aug. 13 was seen to be occupied by mis- siles and auxiliary equipment." The formal complaint to UNTSO stated that "Work was under way for the preparation of a number of missiles and auxiliary equip- ment." Israel was reported to be de- liberately delaying the appoint- ment of a representative for peace talks with the Arabs under United Nations special envoy Gunnar V. Jarring until action is taken to restore the cease fire status quo ante in the Suez Canal zone. There is mounting consternation over what is regarded as a less than vigorous response by the United States to Israel's complaint. Minister of Tourism Moshe Kol said the credibility of the 'U.S. government has been called into question by recent events. UN Gets Israel's Complaint of Missile Site Construction UNITED NATIONS (JTA) — Secretary General U Thant was reported Tuesday to have received Israel's complaint that Egypt was continuing to construct missile sites and to deploy weapons close to the Suez Canal in violation of the cease-fire standstill agreement. The complaint had been sent Mon- day to Maj. Gen. Ensio Siilaysuo, chief of staff of the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO) and publicly disclosed by Israel Foreign Minister Abba Eban. The complaint charged that five sites in the standstill zone, which had been empty earlier , now revealed construction activity. Spokesmen for the UN said this was the second complaint of a cease-fire violation Thant had re- ceived from Israel through UNTSO. The previous one, Aug. 12, dealt with the firing of two shots across the Suez Canal. Spokesmen also stated that a third complaint had been registered by I,s r a el but termed that complaint "confiden- tial." At the same time, UN spokes- men denied that Maj. Gen. Siil- aysuo's trip to Egypt and speci- fically to the Ismallia area from where the two shots were fired last week was in any way con- nected with Israel's complaints of a missile buildup within the 32-mile standstill zone. His trip was described as merely routine and as part of his function as the chief of staff of UNTSO. Ambassador Gunnar V. Jarring, the UN's special Middle East peace negotiator, was reported "continu- ing consultations and is working on general problems." UN spokes- men declined to elaborate on this and on whether or not Dr. Jarring is still waiting for word on the site, time and level of negotiations from Israel, Egypt and Jordan. Although Egypt and Jordan named last week their respective UN ambassadors as negotiators and indicated that their site preference was New York, Israel has not yet named its negotiator and has in- dicated that it prefers to hold talks in Cyprus and on a minister- ial rather than on an ambassador- ial level. There was no confirma- tion here regarding reports that Dr. Jarring agrees with Israel that the talks should be held on a ministerial level nor that the negotiations are being delayed be- cause agreement on the level of the talks has not been reached. Spokesmen for the UN hinted that talks could begin and even continue if fighting resumed. They said there was no prior condition that a cease fire had to prevail for talks to take place. United States Ambassador Charles W. Yost, they said, had given Thant the cease-fire agree- ment "in confidence and it is go- ing to remain confidential." Asked if this cease-fire agreement was the same version as that released last Thursday by Israel Defense Minister Moshe Dayan, a spokes- man said, "Dayan is a knowledg- able person — in this case," but declined to elaborate. Mohamed H. el-Zayyat, Egypt's ambassador to the UN, told news- men Monday that Dr. Jarring ap- peared optimistic about the pros- pects for talks but refused to dis- cuss Israel's charges ab6ut the cease-fire violations. It was re- ported, however, that he denied these charges in his talks with Dr. Jarring. He also met with Thant and Yost. Dr. Muhammed H. el- Farra, the Jordanian ambassador, also met with Dr. Jarring and was later reported to be returning to Jordan Tuesday to consult with his government. UN officials are reluctant to offer an estimate of when the talks might begin. Arab delegates are reported not to have rejected the idea of meeting on the ministerial level but contend that the first stage of the negoti- ations should be conducted on the ambassadorial level. (During his press conference Monday. Eban stated: "If it (the talks) will be at the level of United Nations repre- sentatives, then this mountain of expectations will bring forward a mouse. The Arab governments must understand that this is to be a very specific and particular oc- casion, at which governments will get together at a level of com- mitment.") ROME (JTA) — Premier Emilio Colombo criticized the Soviet Union's attempt to gain a foot- hold in the Middle East as "not the way to serve peace in that af- flicted area." In reply to a request by a Com- munist Party speaker that his government support the Arab- Palestinian position and the idea of an "Arab-Israeli state," Pre- mier Colombo said: "Peace in the Mid East cannot come by one-sided superiority. This even the Com- munists know, who actually de- clared the right to existence of all Mid East states, and thus also of Israel." Vatican Denies It Planned to Ask Mid East Belligerents discover that they therefore are to Accept U.S. Peace Plan ROME (JTA) — The Vatican all brothers," the Pope said. denied reports that it had planned an appeal to the belligerents in the Middle East conflict to accept the peace proposals advanced by United States Secretary of State William P. Rogers. While accept- ance of the plan by Israel, Egypt and Jordan was hailed here, a spokesman stressed that the Vati- can never enters into the techni- cal aspects of international dispute and limits itself to "admonishing antagonists to meet and discuss their problems is a climate of mutual understanding." According to reports emanating from "usually well informed Vati- Israeli Cellist can circles," an appeal to Israel and the Arab states was on the agenda of a recent meeting chaired by Pope Paul himself. B'nai David The Vatican newspaper, "Osserv- Sanctuary atore Romano" welcomed the cease-fire in an unsigned editorial. DONATION $10.00 Pope Paul VI complimented Is- rael and the Arab states for their "statesmanlike decision."
