JERUSALEM (JTA)—Igrael is
trying to persuade the United
States to agree to use its veto in
the Security Council . against future
anti-Israel resolutions that might
be adopted by that body, official
circles said here.
They confirmed that this is one
of the issues on which Israel is
seeking further clarification from
the 'U.S. Ever since the inception
of the United Nations, the U.S. has
been reluctant to employ its veto
and it has been used only rarely.
The U.S. on the other hand, has
frequently criticized the Soviet
Union for resorting repeatedly to
the veto to kill resolutions it con-
siders opposed to its interests.
President Nixon stressed in his
most recent letter to Premier
Golda Meir, that the U.S. is op-
posed to any changes in the Se-
curity Council's Resolution 242 of
Nov. 22, 1967 from which Ambas-
sador Gunnar V. Jarring's peace
mission derives its mandate.
Other points contained in the
Nixon letter, according to reli-
able sources, were a promise
that the U.S. will continue its
policy of strengthening Israel
with the clear knowledge that a
large inflow of Soviet arms into
Egypt Is'in progress and that in
the U.S. government's view, Is-
rael does not have to withdraw
from any territories as long as
there is no peace agreement.
Nixon also reportedly promised
Mrs. Meir that the U.S. would not
interfere in the Jarring talks. Re-
plying to her query about U.S.
policy on the Arab refugee prob-
lem, he reportedly wrote that in
the American view the "Jewish
character of the state of Israel"
must be maintained.
An official source said Israel
was anxious to get a specific
American commitment of firmer
support in the Security Council
because "we are quite aware that
we can never win there. The Soviet
veto is always available to squash
anything that can be of use to us
—quite apart from the fact that
the Council, by its composition, is
usually weighted in our disfavor."
He said Israel felt handicaped
by America's extreme reluctance
to use the veto.
Premier Meir and Foreign Min-
ister Abba Eban conferred Monday
with U.S. Ambassador Walworth
Barbour, reportedly on Israel's re-
quest for a clarification of policy
from Washington. Mrs. Meir "had
asked for the meeting.
The Cabinet decided Sunday to
withhold its .decision on reactivat-
ing the Jarring talks pending fur-
ther clarification from the U.S.

I,
Is scheduled to hold his talks
with top Nixon administration
officials in Washington today and
Saturday. According to unofficial
reports he will also meet with
President Nixon. Gen. Dayan is
scheduled to address a United
Jewish Appeal meeting in New
York this weekend. His visit to
the U.S. at this time is officially
on behalf of the UJA and he will
reportedly address UJA meet-
ings before and after his political
talks in Washington.
The newspaper Yediot Aharonot
reported that some circles in Egypt
are showing interest in Gen. Day-
an's ideas for a mutual disengage-
ment of military forces along the
Suez Canal.
He told newsmen before his de-
parture that his political talks in
Washington would deal with Is-
rael's security problems. The main
question of which is the cease fire.
Gen. Dayan warned "the Arabs"
that if they attempted to cross the
Suez Canal "and attack our forces,
they will be severely beaten and
will leave physical evidence of
their defeat."
He denied that he had a "shop-
ping list" of Israel's military needs
to present to the U.S. "These
things are done through regular
channels," he said.
Diplomatic observers believe that
Moscow is prepared to install SAM-
2 and SAM-3 anti-aircraft missiles
in Syria to threaten Israel if it re-
fuses to return the occupied Golan
Heights, according to reports from
Beirut. The reports said Syria's
new strongman, Gen. Hafez Assad,
plans to send military personnel
to Egypt to train in the operation
of Soviet SAM missiles deployed
there.
Israel Charges UAR
Reconnaissance Party
on 'Intelligence Mission
TEL AVIV (JTA) — Egypt is
making a major effort to gather
intelligence on the Israeli side of
the Suez .Canal,-officials reported
here. The latest attempt was the
landing of a small reconnaissance
party on the east bank of the
waterway last Friday Alight, the
first such landing since the cease
fire went into effect last Aug. 7.
One Egyptian was killed when
an Israeli patrol intercepted and
drove off the landing party. A mili-
tary spokesman said equipment
found on the dead body included
a new transmitter and other com-
munications devices which indi-
cated that the Egyptians were on
ah intelligence gathering mission.
The landing -occurred between
the Great Bitter Lake and the
southern- entrance of the canal.

the United Nations Truce Super-
vision Organisation (UNTSO)

Israel Trying to Persuade U.S. to Use Veto
Both houses of Congress over-
whelmingly authorized credits for
Israel without specifying a ceiling
when they passed the military pro-
curement act last September.
Congress did not authorize the
remaining $535,000,000 in the
President's supplemental request,
which is earmarked mainly for
Korea, Cambodia and South Viet-
nam but also contains a $30,000,000
grant to Jordan and $5,000,000 to
Lebanon.
Sen. J. W. Fulbright, Arkansas
Democrat and chairman of the
Foreign Relations Committee, is op-
posed to the grants for the Asian
countries and tried, without suc-
cess, to have a ceiling put on
credit for Israel.
Sen. Fulbright's committee held
its hearing Thursday, two days af-
ter the Senate Appropriations
Committee's hearing on the supple-
mental budget request. Some ob-
servers here said that Sen. Ful-
bright was resorting to delaying
tactics inasmuch as the present
Congress will have relatively little
time to consider the measure be-
fore it goes out of office next year.
But most observers believe the
supplemental bill will be acted on
before this Congress adjourns.
One source on Capitol Hill told
the Jewish Telegraphic Agency
that "there is no doubt that the
credit for Israel will get out of
committee in time for -a vote even
if it has to be separated from the
rest of the supplemental budget
package."
A Senate-House conference com-
mittee is to meet to consider a
Senate-approved waiver of two an-
nual installments due from Israel
on a U.S. government loan to the
Weizmann Institute of Science.
The waiver, approved by voice
vote in the Senate, was in the
form of an amendment to a foreign
military and economic aid bill in-
troduced by Sen. Stuart Syming-
ton, Missouri Democrat. It relieves
Israel of making payment this year
and next on principal and interest
amounting to $2,000,000.
The U.S. has provided seven
loans to the Weizmann Institute
over a number of years. The bal-
ance due on them about $22,000,-
000—is not affected by the waiver.
