Dayan Denies Suggesting Israel Pullback to Sisco
(Continued from Page 1)
reportedly made the suggestion in
a private talk with Sisco while Sec-
retary of State Rogers was on an
air tour over Sharm el-Sheikh.
Rogers: Israel Did Not
Ask U.S. for Guarantees
if UAR Violates Accord
WASHINGTON (JTA)—Secretary
of State William Rogers denied that
Israel has asked the U.S'. for
guarantees in the event of an Egyp-
tian violation of an interim agree-
ment sunder which Israel would pull
its forces back from the Suez
Canal. Rogers appeared on the
NBC television program "Meet the
Press," and was questioned twice
on Sunday about guarantees in con-
nection with his recent visit to Is-
rael and Arab countries and both
times replied with a categorical
"No." He said the "necessity for
peace is so great" that the U. S. is
prepared to play a "responsible
role" to achieve it but he would
not elaborate.
Rogers told the newsmen that he
saw "no signs of a slowdown" in
the discussions under way for a
Mid East settlement because of the
present political upheaval in Egypt.
He said that to date there was "no
indication that the government of
Egypt is not in control."
Rogers said after a 100-minute
meeting , Monday with Secretary
General Thant and Middle East in-
termediary Dr. Gunnar V. Jarring
that he was "somewhat encour-
aged" about an interim. Mid East
solution, which he called a "desir-
able first step" toward a final set-
tlement.
Rogers told a press conference
in the secretarial lobby, in front
of the Chagall window, that he had
had a "useful exchange" with
Thant and Dr. Jarring, and that
he favored additional such discus-
sions. Despite "difficulties," Rog-
ers said, he had "hope" for a
peace pact, which he said Israel
and Egypt both wanted.
Rogers restated his confidence in
Dr. Jarring and said the Swedish
ambassador was 'keenly interest-
ed in the possibilities" of an in-
terim plan to reopen the Suez
Canal. Rogers, flanked by Assis-
tant Secretary Joseph J. Sisco and
United Nations Ambassador George
Bush, cut the press conference off
after a few minutes, explaining
"I have to go now." A spokesman
for Thant said later that the sec-
retary general had found the dis-
cussion "very useful." The spokes-
man said Dr. Jarring, in New
York for "a limited duration,"
would continue to "seethe parties."
As usual, he provided no details.
Thant will meet separately this eve-
ning with Soviet Ambassador
Yakob A. Malik and Egyptian Am-
bassador Mohammed H. el-Zayyat.
Report Israel Prepared
to Dismantle Bar-Lev Line,
Rebuild Further From Canal
JERUSALEM (JTA)—The Jew-
ish Telegraphic Agency learned
from reliable sources Sunday that
Israel was prepared to dismantle
its Bar-Lev line fortifications on
the east bank of the Suez Canal
and build a new line further in the
Sinai interior as its contribution
to an interim settlement to reopen
the canal. The sources said that
this hinged on the willingness of
the United States to finance the
construction of a new line which
would run into hundreds of mil-
lions of dollars. According to the
sources, Washington has indicated
a willingness to consider the pro-
posal.
The present Bar-Lev line, a sys-
tem of in-depth fortifications be-
ginning near the canal's east bank,
would be blown up. There were no
indications where Israel proposed
to build the new line. If the U. S.
underwrites the scheme, it would,
in effect, give Israel the right to
retain part of the Sinai Peninsula
under an interim agreement pend-
ing a final peace settlement with
secure and agreed borders, the
sources said. In helping Israel im-
plement an interim solution, the
U. S. would be doing nothing more
"reprehensible" from the Arab
point of view than she did when
she supplied Israel with Phantom
jets before there was any such
agreement, the source stated.
Gahal leader Menahem Begin
demanded that the government
resign "for having betrayed the
trust of the people." Presenting
a motion for the agenda on the
proposed interim agreement be-
tween Israel and the Egyptians,
and a possible pullback from the
Suez Canal, Begin stated that the
government has decided to re-
treat despite the fact that it does
not have the constitutional power
to do so. He said that the Knes-
set, and coalition factions them-
selves, have voted to remain on
the June 1967 cease fire lines un-
til a formal peace treaty is sign-
ed between the countries involved
in the Middle East crisis.
Foreign Minister Abba Eban re-
plied for the government and as-
sured the House that no decision
on withdrawal would be made with-
out the prior approval of the Knes-
set. He said that Israel would only
agree to a pullback from the canal
zone providing that the following
conditions were met: a total cessa-
tion of belligerency in the area;
that no Egyptian or other military
units be allowed to cross over onto
the eastern bank of the canal; that
Israeli defense projects which have
been constructed in the area be
protected; and that any pullback
from the canal zone must not be
used as a lever to pressure Israel
into further withdrawals.
Ex-Sec. McCarthy Challenges
Rogers' ContentiOn Geography
Not Important to Security
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (JTA) —
Former Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy
has challenged Secretary of State
William P. Rogers' contention that
geography is not important to se-
curity in the Middle East. The 1968
Democratic Presidential hopeful
from Minnesota addressed a meet-.
ing of the American Professors for
Peace in the Middle East here Sun-
day. He also questioned the wis-
dom of Rogers' suggestion that
Ti. S. troops participate in a Mid
East peace-keeping force.
McCarthy, whose outspoken criti-
cism of U. S. involvement in Viet-
nam was the basis for his Presi-
dential bid, said the gwernment's
record of support and commitment
to Israel "has been somewhat less
than clear and certain in the years
since 1967." He said there was no
chance for a speedy, comprehen-
sive solution to the Middle East
conflict but observed that an even-
tual solution could come about only
through direct negotiations be
tween the parties concerned and
must be arrived at with the as-
sumption that Israel cannot return
to its pre-June 1967 boundaries.
McCarthy chided his fellow critic
of U. S. Vietnam policy, Sen. J.
William Fulbright, for suggesting a
bilateral U.S.-Israeli treaty based
on the old boundaries. He warned
that "Sen. Fulbright's suggestion
would replace the situation of 1967
with an arrangement that might
turn any future conflict in the Mid-
dle East into a direct confrontation
between the United States and the
Soviet Union."
McCarthy said that Rogers' in-
tervention in the Middle East re-
flected the same confusion and lack
of clear commitment of previous
administrations. "Geography is im-
portant to us in Vietnam where
we talk of the need of controlling
at least two additional countries in
order to provide security for the
withdrawal of American troops,"
he said. "Geography—that is, bor-
ders and boundaries—has been
vital in establishing the area of the
United States • of America. And
geography—lands and borders--is
of vital consideration in the land
of Israel and in Israel's self-de-
fense." McCarthy thought a partial
arrangement could be reached in
the near future, mainly between
Israel and Egypt over the Suez
Canal and western Sinai, "but that
peace negotiations should proceed
on the assumption that Israel may
make some territorial concessions
but not go back to the pre-June
1967 borders."
An Illinois Congressman, Re-
publican Philip M. Crane, told a
Zionist Organization of America
meeting that "the fact that Is-
rael has seen the U. S. let it
down in the past with regard to
`guarantees' must carefully be
weighed in assessing the current
Israeli hesitancy to participate
in a withdrawal with nothing but
guarantees in return."
Crane added in his address to
thenearly 1,000 leaders and mem-
bers of the ZOA from the New
York Metrooplitan area attending
the ZOA public "support-Israel"
meeting that "the U. S., we must
remember, pressed Israel to give
up the Sinai in 1957, following the
Suez crisis. Now, nearly four years
after 1967 conflict, many in this
country are busy persuading Israel
to do it once again. The Israelis,
CARS TO BE DRIVEN
however, have not forgotten the
result of theisr previous acquies-
ence to this pressure."
