State Dept. Silence on Mid East
Seen as Sign of Move to an Accord
WASHINGTON (JTA) — The
State Department is holding fast
to its policy of "quiet diplomacy"
in the Middle East.
Department spokesman Charles
Bray parried questions about pro-
gress toward an interim Suez set-
tlement at Monday's press brief-
ing. He refused to comment on
the impending visit to Cairo of
Soviet President Nikolai V. Pod-
gorny. At one point he told news-
men, "Let me not get into the
Middle East."
The official silence indicated
to some observers that there
may be serious movement at
this time toward an interim set-
tlement. Though Israel's Foreign
Minister Abba Eban character-
/– ized President Anwar Sadat's
latest speech as "negative and
extreme," Israel, according to
Bray, is prepared to continue
negotiations toward an agree-
ment that would reopen the Suez
Canal.
Bray gave no hint as to what
may have transpired at Sunday's
meeting between Eban and U.S.
Ambassador Walworth Barbour in
Tel Aviv or Israel's Ambassador
Itzhak Rabin's meeting here with
Assistant Secretary of State Joseph
J. Sisco. He said the Sisco-Rabin
talk was within the context of the
continuing series of discussions on
the Middle East.
Asked if the U.S. was "discoui.-
aged" by the slow pace of nego-
tiations, he replied, "We have yet
to be discouraged."
Observers here said the State
Department's "quiet diplomacy"
reflected caution not to undercut
the position of Sadat at a time
when he has succeeded in crush-
ing a coup aimed against him by
the pro-Moscow faction in Cairo.
Meanwhile, Dr. Gunnar V. Jar-
ring, the UN's Middle East nego-
tiator, returned to Moscow to re-
sume his formal duties as Swed-
ish ambassador to the Soviet
Union. His "limited duration"
stay in New York lasted one
week.
He met with the ambassadors of
Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon and
then had a "chat" with Israeli
envoy Yosef Tekoah.
The chief purpose of Dr. Jar-
ring's short stay was to confer
with Secretary General Thant and
to hear a report from Secretary of
State William P. Rogers on the
latter's Mid East trip.
Sources said Dr. Jarring believes
there is nothing he can do at this
time in regard to Mid East talks
and that he must wait until Amer-
ican efforts to secure a Suez
Canal-opening interim agreement
have run their course. He is ex-
pected to return at that point re-
gardless of the outcome of the
interim pac talks.
GAZA—The price of fish hardly
seems like a topic of discussion
for a defense minister, but Moshe
Dayan sees anything that has to
do with creating good will in the
Gaza Strip within his purview.
After asking questions in Arabic,
Dayan promised the refugee fish-
ermen that something would be
done to help them get a better
price for their fish and that Israel
would try to provide work for the
8- to 10,000 unemployed in the
Gaza Strip.
Dayan pointed out to newsmen
that since 1967 there have been
nearly 1,300 incidents and more
than 250 deaths in the Strip, attri-
butable to the activity of the Peo-
ple's Front for the Liberation of
Palestine, a guerrilla organization.
If the Arab refugees can find
work and get decent wages, the
terrorists will be unable to win
adherents, Dayan believes.

TEL AVIV (ZINS)—David Horo-
witz, director of the Bank of Israel,
declared that the downgrading of
the American dollar in terms of
European currencies will enable
Israel to defer any immediate re-
valuation of its own currency.
Last year, Israel enjoyed an in-
flux in foreign currency of some
200,000.000 deutschemarks, and an
even larger flow in that currency
is expected this year.
According to Bank Leumi's
chairman, Dr: Ernst Lehman, the
upgrading of European currency
at the expense of the American dol-
lar is tantamount to a devaluation
of the American dollar.
Meanwhile, in Stockholm, Joseph
Shrik,- an Israeli correspondent
from Haaretz needed to exchange
jsomeeAmerican dollars for Swedish
currency, and was told by a bank
official that Europe has lost its
confidence in the American dollar.
The journalist found an Israeli
10-pound note in his pocket, which
the bank official readily agreed
to exchange for local kroner.
Not without some amazement,
the reporter asked whether this
means that the bank has more con-
fidence in the Israel pound than it
does in the American dollar.
"Not exactly," answered the
Jewish banker, "but I do believe
• in God and feel that he will reward
me for having performed a good
deed."
