Kosygiut Atvebills Israel IVithdrairwal Timetable
LONDON (JTA) — Soviet Pre.
mier Alexei N. Kosygin demanded
Monday that Israel withdraw from
the occupied Arab territories a.
stipulated by the Security Council's
Resolution 242 of Nov. 22, 1967.
But Kosygin stopped short of en-
dorsing Egypt's demand that Israel
submit a withdrawal timetable in
advance of peace talks as a condi-
tion of extending the present cease
fire.
Kosygin spoke at a luncheon in
Moscow honoring a visiting Egyp-
tian delegation headed by Vice
President Aly Sabry and number-
ing among its members, Foreign
Minister Mahmoud Riad and Min-
ister of War Mohammed Fawzi.
The Soviet leader warned "Is-
raeli extremists" to be "under no
illusion" that they will gain con-
cessions from agreeing to a peace-
ful settlement in the Mid East. He
warned that nobody was begging
Israel for "peace at any price."
His remarks were less vehement
than those of Sabry, who seemed
to reflect growing Egyptian bitter-
ness over the present Mid East
stalemate.
In Washington Monday, State
Department spokesman Robert J.
McCloskey said the U.S. "would be
satisfied" if Israel returned to the
Jarring peace talks by Jan. 5, the
date on which United Nations Sec-
retary-General U Thant is sched-
uled to report to the Security Coun-
cil on the progress of Mid East
peace moves. McCloskey indicated
that the government is certain that
Israel will agree to resume the
talks shortly. He declined, however,
to be drawn into a warning that
further delay by Israel would jeo-
pardize the current cease fire.
Sen. Henry M. Jackson, Wash-
ington Democrat, urged the
Nixon administration Monday to
abandon the Mid East peace
proposals advanced by Secretary
of State William P. Rogers a
year ago which would have Israel
withdraw to its pre-June 1967
borders with only minor territor-
ial adjustments.
Jackson endorsed Israel's objec-
tions to the Rogers plan on grounds
that it "diminishes the Israeli bar-
gaining position and encourages
the Arabs to adopt a rigid rather
than flexible position." The Israeli
government apparently failed to
persuade the Nixon administration
to dissociate itself from the Rogers

formula. The President reportedly
told Premier Golda Meir in a re-
cent message that he considers the
Rogers plan a good one but doesn't
intend to force it on anyone.
Kosygin and Sabry condemned
the U.S. for supporting Israel,
though Sabry was more vehement
than the Soviet leader in his
speech Monday. He declared that
Egypt "will not allow the aggres-
sors to freeze the Middle East prob-
lem by using cold war methods
aimed at making the Israeli occu-
pation of Arab territories an ac-
complished fact."
He said his country "is prepared
to make any sacrifices for the lib-
eration of our lands and the return
of our legitimate rights."
Some observers here thought it
was significant that Kosygin failed
to demand a withdrawal timetable
from Israel, especially as such a
demand was made only two days
ago by a Soviet Communist Party
delegation visiting Cairo. According
to one source, the Soviet govern-
ment will avoid endorsing any
such specific condition by Egypt
for extending the cease fire beyond
its Feb. 5 deadline.
The source said that Moscow
does not want to commit itself In
advance to military support of
Egypt should warfare be re-
newed in the Suez Canal zone.
But Kosygin nevertheless guar-
anteed a steady flow of weapons,
money and Soviet expertise to
help Egypt thwart the "Israeli
aggressors."
The Soviet Union reportedly has
increased its manpower in Egypt
to more than 20,000, possibly be-

several thousand more soldiers
and technicians have arrived in
recent weeks, adding to the pre-
vious estimate of 17,000 men.
The Israel cabinet debated Is-
rael's return to the Jarring peace
talks for two hours Sunday but
reached no conclusions. An official
communique said the debate would
be resumed at the next session,
meaning next Sunday.
Official sources said that "at
the present stage there is no plan
to hold an extraordinary meeting
in mid-week, there being no extra-
ordinary political reason for it."
The debate is believed to have
focused on whether the latest mes-
sages from Washington clarifying
the U.S. position were sufficient
to meet Israel's terms for return-
ng to the peace talks.
The U.S.' reportedly gave satis-
factory replies with regard to
Israel's request for military aid
but refused to commit itself to
a possible renewal of warfare
along the Suez Canal after the
cease fire ends Feb. 5 "or perhaps
even earlier." Bar Lev spoke after

were: No Arab-initiated resolu-

none of the resolutions that
passed, though "unfriendly to
Israel and in fact pro-Arab," ac-

Aguda Rabbi Rosen Raps
'Secular' Public Schools
(JTA)—A charge
that "the restlessness of America's
youth" can be traced to the fact
that the nation's public schools
"are not religiously neutral but
teach a new religion of secular
humanism," was leveled at the
White House Conference on Chil-
dren by Rabbi Moshe Sherer, exe-
cutive president of Agudath Is-
rael of America.
The Orthodox leader urged the
conferees to "pin the guilt where
it belongs: on the modern educa-
tors who consider it a sign of their
modernity to demonstrate to their
pupils that they have broken all
links with eternity."
Rabbi Sherer called upon all
Americans to "appreciate the
necessity of keeping alive religious-
ly-oriented schools which prepare
their students to cope with a jungle
society." He urged the conference
to support efforts of non-public
schools for increased governmental
aid.
