Reported Allon-Hussein Border Meetings, Israel's Readiness to Meet With Jarring Point to Easing Tensions in Middle East p JERUSALEM (JTA) — Deputy Premier Yigal Allon and King Hus- sein of Jordan met secretly for discussions that could lay the ground work for peace talks be- tween Israel and Jordan, it was disclosed here. The meeting took place during the second half of October on Israeli soil in a military compound south of the Dead Sea. Reports of the meeting were known to i:ewsmen here for almost a week but '.e -e suppressed by the cen- sor. Disclosure was permitted only after Time magazine, published Tuesday, reported that Allon and Hussein have held a series of se- cret border meetings to explore the possibilities of unilateral peace talks and that King Hussein has met at least once with Premier Golda Meir. The Time story was believed to have been smuggled out of Israel to avoid the censor. Protests by newsmen here led to permission to break the story within the limits of the report carried by Time, but there was no official con- firmation. Last month's Hussein-Allon meeting reportedly was limited to commitments by both sides that could improve relations be- tween Israel and Jordan. King Hussein was said to have promised Allon that he would cede no Jordanian enclaves to Pales- tinian guerrillas and that in the course of time he would suppress all terrorist activities against Is- rael from Jordanian soil. The king reportedly complained that talk by Israeli leaders of a Palestinian state with Amman as its capital was a virtual invitation to the Palestinians to try to take over his kingdom. Allon's reply is not }mown. It was noted here, however, that Israeli cabinet ministers recently have refrained from talking about a Palestinian entity and that cer- tain of them have advocated in- creased autonomy for the West Bank Arabs. It was reported here last week that Israeli leaders consider a se- parate peace with Jordan within the realm of possibility since the death of President Gamal Nasser of Egypt and King Hussein's vic- tory over the guerrillas in the Jor- danian civil war last September. According to Time magazine, Hussein has not yet agreed to uni- lateral talks with Israel but one result of the most recent border meetings "is that broader nego- tiations with representatives of other Arab states can be expected to follow." So far, Time said, Hus- sein and Allon agreed to cooperate in neutralizing the Palestinian com- mandos and expanding economic '70 & 71 DODGES' DART! 14;99;r /L CHARGER!

Meanwhile, new fighting was re- ported Monday between Palestinian guerrillas and the Jordanian army in Irbid and Jerash. On Tuesday night, Allon said that Hussein's regime, once con- sidered the shakiest in the Arab world, is now the most stable. Transport Minister Shimon Peres, who has been sounding out West Bank Arab leaders recently, dis- missed the idea of an autonomous "Palestinian entity" as "unrealis- tic." Allon, addressing the Engineers Club here, said the stable condi- tions in Jordan resulted from the breaking up of terrorist organiza- tions in that country and the up- heavals that recently occurred in Syria and Iraq. He described King Hussein as one of the central fig- ures in the Arab world and said that he was ready to continue the cease fire and, in fact, was respon- sible for the quiet conditions that now prevail along the Israel-Jor- dan border. Allon made no mention of the re- ports that he met secretly with King Hussein on several occasions. Peres, at the jubilee conference of WIZO, the Women's Interna- tional Zionist Organization in Tel Aviv, said that a new kind of re- lationship has emerged between Jews and Arabs for the first time in history in the occupied terri- tories. He said the seemingly un- soluable Arab-Israel conflict should be left to time to work out. He said the approach to peace should be gradual, allowing each country to attain that which it considers most important. For Is- rael, he said, it would be unhin- dered navigation through the Straits of Tiran and for Egypt, the resumption of normal life along the Suez Canal. Defense Minister Moshe Dayan proposed Tuesday night that Israel and Egypt renegotiate their Aug. 7 cease fire agreement on the basis of a mutual disengagement on both sides of the Suez Canal. Gen. Dayan made the proposal at a closed meeting of the Labor alignment's Knesset faction, from which the press and even minis- terial aides were excluded. The substance of his remarks was leak- ed to newsmen later by highly re- liable sources. Gen. Dayan said that the new cease fire agreement should super- sede the Aug. 7 agreement which was extended on Nov. 6 for an- other 90-day period and should go into effect before the extension expires Feb. 5, 1971. He said the new accord would THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS 16—Friday, November 20, 1970 Israel Stamps Bearing Hebrew Name for God Dropped After Protest TEL AVIV—Israeli postal offi- cials have withdrawn thousands of Labor MKs that a new situation Israel's return to the Jarring talks.

Knowledgable sources believe Gen. Dayan has in mind a mutual reduction of forces along the Su- ez Canal front. Two months ago, the defense minister reportedly suggested the creation of a de- militarized zone of 10 - 20 miles in width on both sides of the water- way. The report was subsequently de- nied but has persisted. Some press reports here last week said Gen. Dayan intended to present such a plan to high Nixon administration officials when he visits the United States next month. Such a develop- ment could lead to reopening the Suez Canal. The Jewish Telegraphic Agency reported Sept. 9 that a proposal by Gen. Dayan to renegotiate the cease fire was under consideration on the highest government levels and that it might be taken up in Washington by Premier Golda Meir, who was preparing at that time to visit the 'U.S. Nothing further was heard about the plan publicly until Tuesday night's meeting.
