War Dangers Believed Receding;
Guerrillas May Yield on Peace
Israel's Peace Proposals
Jeune Afrique, the news magazine published in Paris, printed what
it claims to be the set of peace proposals Israel presented to Dr. Gunnan
V. Jarring, the United Nations mediator, when be was in Israel twq weeks
ago. The French magazine published the text in French and in English, and
it was reprinted in the New York Times on Tuesday. The reported 14 points
in the Israel position are:
1. The declared and explicit decision to regard the conflict as finally
terminate&
2. Respect and acknowledgment by the parties in explicit terms of each
others' sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence.
3. Establishment of secure, recognised and agreed haundarlees-
4. Other additional arrangements for insuring security.
5. Withdrawal of military forces from territories lying beyond positions
agreed in the peace treaty.
6. Termination of all states of war and acts of hostility or belligerency.
7. The responsibility for insuring that as warlike act, or violence, by
any organization, group or individual originates from or Is committed in its
territory against the population, citizens or property of the other party.
3. Termination of all discrindnatens or interferences, economic warfare
in all its manifestailons, including boycott. This obligation is not dependent
on anything except the conclusion et the state of war.
9. Provisions laying down the obligations accepted by the parties
toward the settlement of the refugee problem, after which neither party
shall be under claims from the other inconsistent with its sovereignty.
10. Arrangements concerning places of religious and historic
significance.
11. Arrangement for free port and transit facilities.
12. Nonparticipating in hostile alliances and the prohibition of stationing
of troops of other parties which maintain a state of belligerency against the
other.
13. Noninterference in domestic affairs and noninterference in the
normal foreign relation in the other party.
14. Peace must be expressed in a binding treaty in accordance with
normal law and precedent.
All of the points except 10 and vv also apply to Egypt, and only 10 of
the 14 apply to Lebanon, with which Israel has no territorial disputes, the
New York limes comments.

Detroit Israel Trade Fair
Detroit will have an Israel Trade Fair, and the period of
April 22 through May 2 has been selected for it. It will be held
at the Jewish Center, and the event will conclude with the annual
observance of Israel Anniversary Day—Yom HaAtzmaut.
The fair, sponsored by the Detroit Zionist Federation, Israel
Chamber of Commerce and the Jewish Center, will have as co-
sponsors all the local affiliated Zionist groups and many other
local movements, congregations and fraternal organizations.
Appointment of Jerry Malamud as coordinator of the fair
was announced this week by Carmi M. Slomovitz, president of
the Detroit Zionist Federation.
The fair will inaugurate a continuing movement to encour-
age the purchase of Israel-made goods. Many products will be
brought to Detroit from Israel for display at the fair, and Detroit
merchants _ who already sell Israel-made merchandise are being
enrolled as participants in the fair.
Rabbi Moses Lehrman, vice president of the Zionist Federa-
tion in charge of programing, announced a public assembly for
the enrollment of organizational participants as corporate mem-
bers to be held at Cong. Shaarey Zedek on March 14. Rabbi Israel
Miller, president of the American Zionist Federation, will be
gad apoalker at the assembly.
Enroihnint - of corporate members is being conducted under
the chairmanship of Rabbi Leo Goldman.
Reports that the Palestinian guerrillas may cooperate in arriving
at a peace settlement between Israel and the Arab states and that polit-
ical moves now. in process may not be oppose d; and indications that
Egypt is receding in its war threats, thus giving an assurance that the
cease fire will be extended after Feb. 5, gave some hope for a possibility
to an end to the Middle East conflict.
TEL AVIV (JTA) — The prospect that Egypt would resume hostilities in the
Suez Canal Zone next month seemed to recede Wednesday as some details of Cairo's
reply to Israeli proposals became known here. According to informed sources, the
Egyptian memorandum which was conveyed to Israel through United Nations media-
tor Gunnar V. Jarring, contained no hint of an intention to renew warfare when the
current cease fire expires on Feb. 5. Nor did it contain any hint that Egypt woule
ask for a meeting of the Security Council before Feb. 5 to revise the Middle F.st
resumption of hostilities on Feb. 5.
The Egyptians are known to have reiterated their demand for an advance
timetable of Israeli proposals. Their reply did not yield on that matter and did not,
contain references to the future rights of the Palestinians. But-sources familiar with
the memorandum said it did not constitute an outright rejection of Israel's proposals.
Some officials here saw in the Egyptian reply some evidence that Egypt may
now be ready for the first serious peace negotiations with Israel since the 1967 Slx-
Day •War. Israeli 'officials report that the feeling in the United States is that there is
small chance of an early solution to the Middle East conflict because the two sides
are still as far apart as ever. But Washington is said to agree that there will be no
resumption of 'hostilities on Feb. 5.
Thant: U. S.-USSR Peace Force Would Be Problem, but Not Anglo-France Force
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (JTA)—Secretary General U Thant asserted Monday
that "active participation" of the United States and the Soviet Union in a Middle East
peacekeeping force would "create more problems" than it would solve, but that
such participation by the other two members of the Big Four—Britain and France
—would present no difficulties. Speaking at a press conference here, Thant said he
had "personal doubts about the wisdom" of a Big Four peacekeeping presence in the
Mid East in the foreseeable future, but that by 1980 or 1990 it "may be desirable and
even essentiaL" The Big Four, Thant added, "will have a major role to play (in the
Mid East) sooner or later," but they "should not be too active" in working on peace-
keeping guidelines for the Security Council. The council, he said, "is the master of its
own decisions" and has a "very important role to play" in the Mid East, including the
determination of a peacekeeping force.
The secretary general would not go beyond his view of "cautious optimism,"
contending it would be "damaging" to the peace talks for him to make any substan-
tive" comments," as Dr. Jarring is now "in a very delicate stage of discussions with

the parties primarily involved."
News Blackout
on Riga Trial
NEW YORK JTA)—Once again, a news
blackout has descenced over a trial of Soviet
Jews. The Jewish Telegraphic Agency reported
Tuesday that four Jews of Riga, Latvia, were
to be tried Wednesday, but no sources could
confirm by midday Wednesday whether the
proceeding has actually gotten under way.
Jewish sources reported conflicting dates for
the start of the trial. The local office of TASS,
the Soviet Press agency, told the JTA it had
received no word on the matter from Moscow.
The JTA report of the start of the new
trial was based on information obtained from
a Muscovite Jewish family by the Israel Broad-
casting Service. The defendants were said to
be Ruth Aleksandrovich, 23, a nurse; Arkady
Shpilberg, 23, an engineer, and Mikhail Shep•
shelovich, 27, and Boris kfaftsier, 23, occupa-
tions unknown. They were said to be charged
with anti-Soviet activities.
Meanwhile, it has been learned that Leonid
Rigerman, the Russian-born computer pro-
gramer recently granted American citizenship

Kahane Pledges
JDL Moratorium
on Harassments
NEW YORK (JTA)—Two major Jewish
organizations expressed satisfaction Wednes-
day with Rabbi Meir Kahane's promise of a
moratorium on the harassment of Soviet offi-
cials by the Jewish Defense League. Philip E.
Hoffman, president of the American Jewish
Committee, said. "While we share the league's
concern for 3,000,000 Jews in the Soviet Union,
we have consistently deplored its illegal
methods of expressing this concern."
Hoffman said that he assumed Kahane was
referring to the AJCommittee as well as other
Jewish organizations when he said the mora-
torium was called at the request of Jewish
leaders. "We and all major Jewish organiza-
tions have expressed keen dismay with his
tactics," Hoffman added.
Kahane announced the moratorium Tuesday
after he and seven other JDL members were
indicted by a New York County grand jury on
various charges of harassment and disorderly
