Tense Situation With Rogers Smoothed Over by Dayan

Israeli troops would continue to
man the Bar-Lev Line even if
Egyptian personnel moved across
the canal.
According to most reports, con-
cessions offered by Rogers dealt
with American guarantees to Israel
against - possible Egyptian and So-
viet violations of an interim agree-
ment. Rogers reportedly backed
away from his previous insistence
that U.S. guarantees would be
valid only in the event of an over-
all settlement but not for an in-
terim agreement. There was no
indication however of what Rogers
said the U.S. 1,veuld do should the
Egyptians and Russians break
\ir word and cross the canal by
.,'ce. Apart from the questions of
an Israeli pull-back, Egyptian re-
occupation and American guaran-
tees, there remains the fundamen-
tal differences between Jerusalem
and Cairo over the nature of an
interim settlement.
Rogers' initial talks with Pre-
mier Meir last Thursday were re-
ported to have been abrasive. The
American diplomat was said to
have been sharply critical of Is-
rael's position while Mrs. Meir re-
fused to budge from her hard line.
Reliable sources said the turning
point occurred Friday when Dayan
held the lengthy talks with Sisco.
The Israeli government was
quick to deny that Dayan had pre-
sented a memorandum to Rogers.
The denial raised eyebrows since
no one ever claimed that Dayan
presented a memo to anybody.
Earlier, the foreign ministry is-
sued a written denial that Israel
had agreed to an Egyptian pres-
ence on the east bank of the canal.
The denial was gratuitous since
nobody claimed that Israel made
such an agreement. Ministry cir-
cles refused to comment when
asked if the term "military" in
this context also included police.
Israel's ambassador to Washing-
ton. Itzhak Rabin, left for the
U.S. Monday after participating in
the talks with Rogers.
Rabin was called for supplemen-
tary consultation with the State
, Department upon his return from
-Israel.
- Rogers conferred for half an
said that Rogers had summarized
to Mrs. Meir the impressions he
gained in his lightning tour earlier
in the week of Arab capitals. Mc-
Closkey said Rogers had not brought
any new proposals for his meetings
with Israeli leaders.
Finance Minister Pinhas Sapir
disclosed that he had submitted a
formal request to Rogers for a
$300,000,000 low interest loan from
the U.S. and a $200,000,000 grant.
He said -he made the request when
he met with Rogers here Friday
during the secretary's brief visit
to Israel. He said Rogers promised
to convey the request to President
Nixon.
Sapir made the disclosure in re-
ply to a question from a member
of an Israel Bond Organization
delegation from Los Angeles. He
noted that for the past 10 years
Israel has received no grants from
the U.S. and that even earlier most
American aid has been in the form
of loans, though on easy terms. In
reply to another question, Sapir
said he didn't think the U.S. gov-
ernment would exert pressure on
Israel by means other than those
customary between friendly states.
The $500,000,000 U.S. economic aid
for Israel was approved by the
Nixon administration last year but
the proportion between grant and
loan was not fixed.

Ben-Gurion in the King David
_Hotel. Also present were Sisco
1-, and Dr. Yaacov Herzog, director
general of the Israeli premier's
•
office. The meeting was conduct-
; ed under strict secrecy. Rogers
sought the meeting at the last
minute to discuss with Ben-
Gurion the Israeli's recent article
in the Saturday Review express-
ing territorial views similar to
Rogers'. Ben-Gurion also is
known -to favor total Israeli eva-
cuation from the Sinai Peninsula.
Rogers and Sisco, their wives
and their party of 40 attended a
memorial ceremony for the victims!
of the Nazis at the Yad Vashem,
the building dedicated to martyrs
and heroes in Jerusalem. Rogers
id a wreath in the memorial tent.
e chairman of the Yad Vashem,
nesset member Gideon Hausner,
conducted the Americans on a tour
of the permanent exhibit of Holo-
caust documents and relics.
Rogers recalled that after World
War II he was a member of a
Senate committee that induced
Germany to retry Buchenwald's use
Koch, who was given life imprison-
ment. Rogers said he was greatly
impressed by the Yad Vashem. "It
is important," he said, "that we
should continuously remind our-
selves of these horrors so that they
should never recur."
According to a press conference
statement by Robert McCloskey,
State Department press officer
here, Rogers and Mrs. Meir had
"a good animated exchange of
views" and also had agreed not to
provide any details of their talks
to the press. The press officer also

Rogers, Nixon Confer
on Mid East Mission
WASHINGTON (JTA)—As Secre-
tary of State William P. Rogers
reported Monday to President Nix-
on on his Middle East trip, White
House spokesman Ronald Ziegler
told newsmen that the administra-
tion does not "underestimate the
great problems that are unre-
solved." He added, however, that
the trip was "helpful to the even-
tual solutions in the area and help-
ful for maintaining the momen-
tum of the discussions."
Ziegler said that Dr. Henry A.
Kissinger, assistant to the Presi-
dent for national security affairs,
had joined the discussion 15 min-
utes after Rogers arrived at the
White House. Ziegler repeated
Rogers' statement on his return
to Washington that the trip was
"very worthwhile" and said that
there is some basis to the belief
that the differences between the
parties have narrowed somewhat.
Sadat's Terms to Rogers
the waterway and would have to
agree within six months to a time-
table for its complete withdrawal
from all occupied Arab territory.
On the issue of Israeli naviga-
tion through the canal once it is
reopened, Sadat said he told Rog-
ers: "We will first study it within
our political organizations before
giving you an answer." He report-
edly described Rogers' Mid East
visit as an effort to move negotia-
tions "from a standstill to an ac-
tive phase."
A 115-mile pull-back from the
canal would place Israeli forces
at El Arish, about 25 miles from
the old Israeli-Egyptian border.
Israel has not indicated the extent
it is willing to withdraw but has
made it clear that it would not
withdraw beyond a point that
would deprive it of military con-
trol of the canal's east bank and
that it would not abandon its Bar-
Lev Line of in-depth fortifications.
The Israelis would bar Egyptian
or Soviet forces from crossing the
canal but had indicated that it
might agree to a small force of
Egyptian police provided that Is-
raeli units also could patrol the
evacuated zone. Sadat said he told
Rogers that Egyptian military re
occupation of the east bank was
essential to reopening the canal
and "guarantee the safety of navi-
gation."
Lord Caradon, Britain's former
ambassador to the United Nations,
suggested that the UN Security
Council call a Middle East peace
conference to be attended by all
the states that have accepted the
Security Council's Resolution 242.
He characterized the present situa-
tion as one of "waiting and drift-
ing," and warned that "violence

LONDON (JTA)—President An- .
war Sadat of Egypt laid down
tough terms to Secretary of State
Rogers last week for an interim
settlement with Israel to reopen
the Suez Canal. Reports from Cairo
Tuesday said Sadat told the 360-
member parliament faction of the
Arab Socialist Union, Egypt's only
political party, that Israel would
have to pull back 115 miles from
will again take over in another
conflict which no one wants, sim-
ply because we have run out of
new ideas."
Lord Caradon suggested Geneva
as the site of a peace conference
and proposed that it be chaired by
Edvard Hambro of Norway, presi-
dent of the UN General Assembly
who is "universally trusted and
respected." He said the conference
would be attended by Israel, Egypt,
Jordan and Lebanon and by Syria
if the latter decides to accept the
principles of Resolution 242. In
addition, he said, "every effort
should be made to form a repre-
sentative Palestinian delegation."
Lord Caradon, the former Min-
ister of state at the foreign office
under the Labor government, pre-
sented this proposal in the form of
