Interim Solutions Sought in Jarring's Absence
JERUSALEM (JTA) — The
Israel government believes there
is no chance at present to get the
stalled Jarring talks going and is
considering "i n t e r im solutions"
short of a formal peace treaty.
Several such plans are being dis-
cussed on the cabinet level. One
plan calls for re-opening of the
Suez Canal on the basis of an
agreement with Egypt but without
any evacuation of territories or
reduction of troops.
Defense experts are reported to
be examining a proposal by United
States Assistant Secretary of State
Joseph J. Sisco for an Israeli with-
drawal to a line 26 miles east of
the Suez Canal and another plan
for a unilateral pull-back only a
few miles from the canal bank.
Defense Minister Moshe Dayan
is reportedly opposed to any uni-
lateral pull - back. Israeli circles
also take 'a dim view of the Sisco
plan. They say that without a for-
mal peace settlement it would be
foolish for Israel to give up its
Suez Canal line which provides the
greatest in - depth security for
Israel. According to these circles,
a line 26 miles east of the canal
would be more difficult to defend,
would require more manpower
and would lack the natural barrier
provided by the waterway.
The government also is report-
edly considering a plan that would
convert the current de facto cease-
fire into an armistice. This would
necessitate a contractual obliga-
tion by both sides not to resort
to armed forces in the absence of
a formal peace treaty.
Jarring conferred in Paris with
Egyptian Foreign Minister Mah-
moud Riad for nearly two hours
'here Monday. While Jarring re-
fused to make any comment to
the press, reliable sources said
he informed the Egyptian diplomat
that resumption of his Middle East
peace mission would have to await
Israel's reply to his question-
naire of Feb. 8, to which Egypt has
already replied. Jarring left for
Moscow to resume his Swedish
ambassadorial duties for the time
being.
Reliable sources said the Unit-
ed States is prepared to agree
to some form of Israeli control
over the Sharm el•Sheikh strong-
point in southern Sinai, short
of permanent sovereignty. The
sources said that in essence, the
the differences between Wash
ington and Israel over the future
Egyptian-Israeli borders have
been reduced to the form of
control over Sharm el-Sheikh and
a land connection between it and
Israel prcper.
The problem was discussed at
a meeting by Premier Golda Meir
and U.S. Ambassador Walworth
Barbour. The U.S. reportedly
favors a long term leasing of
Sharm el-Sheikh to Israel and con-
cedes that an area of undeter-
mined size adjacent to . Eilat should
be annexed to Israel for security
reasons. The U.S., however, is not
convinced that a land bridge be-
tween Israel and Sharm el-Sheikh
is vital. Mrs. Meir's meeting with
Barbour followed Foreign Minister
Abbe Eban's report on his meet-
ing in Washington with Secretary
of State William P. Rogers and
White House national security
affairs advisor Dr.,Henry Kissin-
ger. Mrs. Meir agreed to the re-
quest by the American officials
that Israel supply the U.S. with
more concrete details of the prin-
ciples that would guide Israel's
territorial claims once actual peace
negotiations get under way.
Mrs. Meir took pains to scotch
rumors that she gave Ambassador
Barbour a territorial map. Her
Golda, Confident
of Knesset, Meets
Begin Challenge
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Premier
Golda Meir, confident that her gov-
ernment enjoys overwhelming sup-
port in the Knesset, has called for
immediate debate on a private bill
introduced recently by Gahal oppo-
sition leader Menahem Begin for
dissolution of parliament and new
elections.
Mrs. Meir told her cabinet col-
leagues that she would welcome a
debate prior to the Knesset's Pass-
over recess, and that she has so
informed Knesset Speaker Reuben
Barkatt.
She also disclosed that she has
suggested to Gahal that Begin
cut short his current trip- abroad
in order to move his bill for de-
bate. Opposition circles charged
that Mrs. Meir was resorting to
trickery. They said that under
present circumstances the Begin
bill was sure to be defeated and
under Knesset rule, no similar
bill could be introduced until the
winter term begins next October.
That would leave the government
free from the threat of new elec-
tions at a time convenient to the
opposition while the government
could move for new elections at
any time it deemed favorable, they
said.
Furthermore, defeat of Begin's
measure would considerably
strengthen the government's posi-
tion in negotiations with foreign
governments.
Gahal circles said Begin had ex-
pected his bill to come up for de-
bate only in the normal order of
priority which would bring it to the
floor in May. Mrs. Meir's cer-
tainty about the outcome stems
from the 62-0 vote of confidence
won by her government in a Knes-
set debate earlier this month on
the issue of territorial policy.

Jewish Chaplains Back
Compulsory Cadet Chapel
NEW YORK (JTA)—The Asso-
ciation of Jewish Chaplains in the
Armed Forces endorsed the reten-
tion of compulsory chapel attend-
ance at service academies, in a
resolution passed at its 25th anni-
versary meeting.
The resolution stated, in part,
that "Jews in the armed forces
represent a scattered minority,
whose spiritual needs cannot be
adequately served by the limited
number of Jewish chaplains." It
also noted that "the experiences at
My Lai and elsewhere reflect the
need for an intensification of spiri-
tual training for the officers of our
armed forces, not its dilution."
The resolution also hailed the
decision of a United State District
Court for sustaining the constitu-
tionality of the compulsory chapel
regulation which had been chal-
lenged by three non-Jewish cadets
in a court brief.

DUSSELDORF — The newspap-

from Amman said that Jordanian at

Hussein has accepted it.
Arab affairs experts noted that
Tal has been one of the pillars of
King Hussein's tough policy
against the Palestinian terror or-
ganizations—a policy that has led
to the suspension of the annual
$105,000,000 subsidy to those or-
ganizations by Libya and Kuwait
and the alienation of Egypt from
Jordan.
The Cairo government recently
withdrew its representative to the
Pan-Arab Control Committee in
Jordan, Gen. Salim Hilmy, as an
expression of displeasure with
Amman.
Deputy Premier Yigal Allon
confirmed that he had asked Lord
George Brown, former foreign sec-
retary in the British Labor govern-
ment, to put out feelers to Egyp-
tian President Gamal Abdel Nas-
ser early last year in the chance
for top-level Egyptian-Israeli meet-
ings. Allon emphasized that he had
not asked Lord George Brown to
make similar contact with Jordan's
King Hussein. The Israeli official
made these disclosures in the
course of comments keyed to the
publication in London next Mon-
day of Lord George Brown's poli-
tical memoirs.
Restoration to the Palestinian
commandos of the right to broad-
cast radio messages from Egypt is
viewed with much concern.
In order to discourage political
activities in the West Bank area,
Israel has denied a petition from
Palestinians to meet in the Jordan
area to discuss the establishment
of an Arab university in terri-
tories occupied by Israel. This
move was taken to prevent spread
of anti-Hussein activities among
the Palestinians.
Sadat Says He Is Ready
to Accept International
Force at Sharm, el-Sheikh
PARIS (JTA)—President Anwar
-Sadat of Egypt said in an inter-
view published in LeFigaro that
he was ready to accept an inter-
national force at Sharm el-Sheikh
but not throughout the Sinai Pen-
insula. He added that Egypt would
not accept the demilitarization of
the Sinai "unless a similar de-
militarized zone is created on the
other side of the border in Israel."
Sadat repeated that Egypt was
"ready to conclude peace with
Israel" on condition that "all the
(occupied) territories be return-
ed," but cautioned that even then
there could not be a lasting peace
"unless the Palestinian issue is
solved."
