Begin Insists Missile Site Withdrawal
Vital Before Peace Talks Resumed
NEW YORK (JTA) — Menahem
Begin, billed as the "leader of the
loyal opposition in Israel," warn-
ed, in remarks prepared for de-
livery here at the Zionist Organi-
zation of America's annual dinner
that Israel must not return to the
Jarring peace talks without the
withdrawal of Soviet missiles from
the Suez Canal zone.
He also warned that a return to
the pre-June 1Q67 borders would
put most Israeli cities and towns
within range of terrorist rockets.
Begin, a leader of Gahal, Is-
rael's second largest political fac-
tion, quit the coalition government
last summer in protest against its
acceptance of he American peace
initiative.
Speakine to newsmen before the
ZOA dinner, Begin said "wr op-
pose the Jarring talks on the basis
of the Rogers initiative. Those
talks are not peace n'gotiations
with the Arab countries. The talks
envisage almost complete with-
drawal of Israeli forces. We sug-
gest direct negotiations for a peace
treaty between the parties con-
cerned."
The remarks Begin prepared
for his American audience were
more temperate than his recent
Knesset .deminciations of the Jar-
ring talks and his demand that
Israel annex all of the Arab ter-
ritories it occupied in the Six-
Day War.
He indicated that he thought the
outcome of the Jarring talks was
doubtful because Egypt and Rus-
sia have already turned "a clear
undertaking (the cease fire) into
a scran of paner torn to shreds."
He said an Israeli return to the
Jarring talks without a missile
withdrawal would constitute a
serious politico-military achieve-
ment for the Moscow-Cairo axis.
"Who in the world," he demand.
ed. "has the right to ask Israel to

the lives of her men, women and
children, in such jeopardy?" Begin
claimed that by continuing to oc-
cupy the east bank of the Suez
Canal, Israel "renders real serv-
ices to the free world." The con-
tinued closure of the canal pro-
longs by 16 days the voyagles of
Soviet ammunition ships from Bal-
tic or Black Sea ports to North
Vietnam, he said.
Begin, said late Tuesday night
in a radio interview that Premier
Golda Meir was a very "strong"
head of the state who provides
"very effective leadership," and
that "I respect her very highly
indeed" despite "differences of
opinion."
He predicted that she would sur-
vive any vote of confidence. Begin

"The policeman who comes upon
an important paperback issued as a fracas may find it difficult or im-
said the relationship between the
Labor alignment and Gahal has
remained "friendly."
In one understated allusion to
American policy, he said that Is-
rael's chief exports included or-
anges and diamonds and that her
chief import is "all those utensils
necessary for our national secur-
ity."
He called on the Arab govern-
ments to solve the refugee prob-
lem "constructively, humanly",
and explained that Israel does not
draft Israeli Arabs into the army
because "From time to time, there
are hostilities between Israel and
the Arabs, and we don't like to see
Arab fighting against Arab."
On financial matters, Begin not-
ed that "We are the highest-taxed
people on earth and we accept it."
He said he expected Americans
would react with "astonishment"
to the fact that he and his wife
subsist on his Knesset salary of
$250 a month.
When his interviewer suggested
that his tone of voice belied his
reputation as a fiery orator, Begin
insisted that "I am one of the
quietest members of the Knesset."

Dayan: Israeli POWs
Are in Good Health
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Defense
Minister Moshe Dayan reported to
the Knesset that Israeli prisoners
of war in Arab countries were gen-
erally in good health and that
information about them was being
conveyed regularly to their fami-
lies through the International Red
Cross.
He said that according to infor-
mation from the Red Cross, some
Israeli prisoners were hospitalized
in Cairo and others were receiving
medical treatment without hospi-
talization. The rest were in good
health.
He said the prisoners' families
were getting mail from them.
Replying to a question on
another matter, Gen. Dayan said
sent such difficulties, It is hardly
surprising to encounter them in
international conflicts. The ques-
tion of initial responsibility, which
is the essence of aggression, may
be vexingly complicated, as the
Arab-Israeli hostilities abundantly
demonstrate."

Get Agency Assistance
LONDON (JTA)—About 12,000
of Romania's 90,000 Jews are re-
ceiving economic assistance under
a program conducted jointly by the
American Jewish Joint Distribu-
tion Committee and the Federa-

Romania, Chief Rabbi Moses Rosen
of Romania said here.
Dr. Rosen told the Jewish Tele-
graphic Agency that the needy
Jews received cash subsidies which
are mailed to them, as well as a
yearly grant for clothing and other
help.
Rabbi Rosen said infirm Jews
are given meals at their homes
and receive medical attention at
all times. He said there were nine
kosher restaurants which are used
daily by about 2,000 on the relief
program. Rabbi Rosen visited here
to attend a meeting of the Euro-

that according to Israeli intelli-
gence, 1,900 persons were killed
and 6,500 were wounded during
the Jordanian civil war in Sep-
tember.
The question was asked by Jo-
seph A. Tamir of the Gahal Party,
who quoted Brig. Shlomo Gazit as
having said that Israel fell into an
Arab propaganda trap "by swal-
lowing the lie that 20,000 people
were killed in Jordan." Gen. Dayan
said the Jordanian army suffered
500 dead and 1,500 wounded.
Terrorist casualties were 900
killed and 3,000 wounded, and
civilian casualties amounted to
500 dead and 2,000 wounded.

pay honor to the teachings of our Sages and Prophets and to strive
for liberty for all.
