Sympathy for Israel Seen in Harris Poll; Most Doubt Nixon Peace Effort to Succeed NEW YORK (JTA)—American attitudes toward the Middle East conflict are overwhelmingly sym- pathetic to Israel but sharply di- vided as to whether the United States should send troops to de- fend Israel if its existence was threatened by the Arabs with So- viet backing, according to the lat- est Louis Harris poll. The poll results also showed that a majority of Americans give President Nixon a great deal or some credit for initiating the cur- rent 90-day cease fire in the Mid- dle East, but 57 per cent doubt the likelihood of a settlement resulting from the American initiative. The poll was described as an in depth survey of American attitudes toward the Middle East conflict. It is based on a survey of 1,437 households, representing a national Jewish Communal High School Explored in Seattle Mon Says Cease Fire Has Ended JERUSALEM (JTA) — Deputy Premier Yigal Allen said Tuesday that because of Egyptian viola- tions, the 90-day cease fire in the Suez Canal zone "no longer exists under international law." He add- ed, however, that as long as there was no shooting, Israel would con- tinue to observe the truce for an unlimited period and would "re- gard it as a blessing." •Allen, who was named acting prime minister during Premier Golda Meir's visit to the United States, addressed newsmen at a press luncheon. He said the Jar- ring peace talks in New York will not be resumed as long as the mili- tary situation in the truce zone is not restored to its statutivon Aug. 7. Referring to events that led up to Israel's acceptance of the cease- fire originally, Allon said "it is to- tally wrong to assume that we ac- cepted the American peace initia- tive because we feared that other- wise...the United-Stets.-might im- pose on us peace conditions of its own."

When the statement was re- versed to say, "Even if it looked as though Israel were going to be taken over, the U.S. should not send any of our troops to defend Israel," 41 per cent agreed and 38 per cent disagreed. Harris reported that interven- tionist sentiment on behalf of Is- rael ran strongest in rural areas and small towns centered in the South. He said that 43 to 24 per cent of the public does not believe that Israel should give back the Arab territories it captured in the June 1967 war. By 73 to 6 per cent, Americans agreed to the claim that "Israel is a small courageous country which is trying to preserve its independ- ence."

But a significant 25 per cent reported no sympathies with either side, and 23 per cent were not able to make a judgment.

The session was attend- ed by IFALPA top officers from Britain, Italy, France, the United States, Austria, Ireland, Canada and the Netherlands. The statement said that the prob- lem of the 54 hijacked hostages still being held in Jordan "by the Palestinian guerrillas" was "so delicate" that IFALPA was refrain- ing from comment "at this time," but it added that it was "making the statement today on the joint action with the transport workers as a further means of ending hi- jacking and airborne violence." Charles M. Blyth of London, ITWF general secretary, appeared with Capt. Forsberg and "under- lined the mutual interests of the quarter-million transport workers in ending air piracy throughout the World." The two officers said that "on the immediate problem, that of the hostages, the matter is in the hands of governments." IFALPA is not involved in these very delicate contacts and conse- quently refrains from comment in order not to run any risks of jeo- pardizing the situation.
