Asked if the assurances were

plied, "Yes," adding, "But we
were never given assurances
that we would get everything

The Israeli prime minister was
pressed on what territorial con-
cessions her government would of
fer the Arabs. She was reminded
that Foreign Minister Abba Eban
said recently that the world would
be "startled"by the concessions
Israel would be prepared to make
at the final peace conference. Mrs.
Meir replied that at the very start
of the current peace talks Israel
made it clear that it would not

before June 5. 1967. She said she
didn't think Eban had that in mind
but rather intended his remark for
those people who try to picture
Israel as desiring territorial ex-
pansion.
"What we are really after." Mrs.
Heir said, "are agreed, secure and
recognized borders. The 1967 bord-
ers were not secure." She noted
that President Nixon has spoken
of "defensible borders" for Israel,
and that is what Israel wants.

Asked if Israel could give
United Nations envoy Gunnar V.
Jarring an "outline" of its with-
drawal plans, Mrs. Meir replied,

Black GI Buried
After Wide Protest

FORT PIERCE, Fla.—Following
the ruling of a U.S. district court

judge, a young black private was
buried in an all-white cemetery,
his 'mother's Bible on his berib-
boned chest.
When the Hillcrest Memorial
Gardens originally refused to bury
the body, protests came from many
sources, including the Anti-Defa-
mation League of Bnai Brith.

Seymour Graubard, national
chairman of the AM., strongly
urged Secretary of Defense Mel-
vin J. Laird to intervene if
necessary.

In a letter to Laird protesting
this discriminatory action, Grau-
bard stated that "at a time when
the civil rights struggle is of such
considerable concern and the war
in Vietnam has given rise to such
heated passions," it was "of par-
ticular importance that the Depart-
ment of Defense do all in its power
to overcome such flagrant actions."
A plot had been donated for the
serviceman's burial by a 72-year-
old white woman from the area.
