`Silent Man' Dr. Jarring Speaks:
Wants Israel to Pay for Peace
COPENHAGEN (JTA)—The for-
gotten man in the Middle East
deliberations, the UN intermediary,
Dr. Gunnar V. Jarring, said of
Israel that "the side that wants
peace must pay a price.'
In an interview at his summer
house in Sweden with an Israeli
journalist, the Swedish ambassa-
dor declared: "Israel cannot ex-
pect Egypt to accept all her con-
ditions. A settlement must be the
result of trust between the two
sides."
Dr. Jarring, whose public com-
mens since assuming his Mideast
role nearly four years ago have
been rare and noncommittal, said
of his aborted mission: "Although
did not succeed, yet I believe
the end of the matter will be peace
in the Middle East."
The diplomat, whose fulltime
job is as envoy to the Soviet
Union, told the Israeli journalist,
whose name was not revealed at
Dr. Jarring's request, that there
was very little difference between
his mission and the current Amer-
ican efforts toward a Mideast set-
tlement. 'Diplomatic observers,
contrarily, have characterized the
American efforts—like the recent
Mideast visits by Secretary of
State Williaim P. Rogers and As-
sistant Secretary Joseph J. Sisco
—as attempts to save the truce
in the wake of the apparent failure
of the Swedish go-between to bring
the parties to, the negotiating ta-
ble.

`Final Date':
Idle Threat
JERUSALEM (JTA) — One of
the strangest trial balloons of
Egyptian diplomacy — a warning
in an authoritative Cairo news-
paper on Friday that President
Sadat had set Aug. 15 as the
"final date" for settling the
Egyptian-iIsraeli deadlock — was
deflated when the appointed day
came to an uneventful close.
The report in Al Ahram, writ-
ten by its editor, Mohammed
Husanein Heykal, a confident of
President Sadat as he was Of the
late President Nasser, gave no
indication whatever as to what
action Sadat might order to im-
plement the purported deadline
warning. The Al Ahram report
said that the alleged fixing of
the date had been conveyed to
Washington by Sadat in an ex-
change of messages with Presi-
dent Nixon but one highly placed
Israeli source told the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency on Friday
that Assistant Secretary of State
Joseph Sisco had not informed his
Israeli hosts two weeks ago when
he was in Israel of any such
ultimatum.
(In Washington, the White
House and the State Department
denied any information from Sadat
to Nixon of an Aug. 15 deadline.
Presidential press secretary Ron-:
ald Ziegler said Nixon had not
received a letter from Sadat. State
Department spokesman Robert Mc-
Closkey said he could "confidently
say" that no communication had
stipulated "a nything like" the
purported deadline.)

Sabbath-Traffic Dispute
Stays Under Control
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Although
it was tense and noisy here, the
Sabbath passed last week without
violent demonstrations such as
those which occurred here Aug. 7
when religious zealots threw stones
at Egged buses, injuring a number
of persons.
Last Saturday, groups of ultra-
Orthodox demonstrators gathered
at the city's main thoroughfare,
Jaffa Road, and spat at passing
cars, including Egged tourist
buses. But restraining influences
were obviously working, for the
demonstrators did not actually in-
terfere with traffic.
A group of non-religious youths
gathered on the opposite sidewalk
jeering at the Orthodox. Police
kept the two groups apart.
A demonstration to protest the
actions taken by police in the
stone-throwing incident was
staged Aug. 9 in the Mea
Shearim quarter by some 500
followers of the Neturei Karta
movement. No arrests were
made.
(The 'movement does not recog-
nize the state of Israel because it
was not, in their view, established
by the Messiah).
During the clashes Aug. 7 the
Neturei Karta leader, Rabbi Am-
non Blau, denounced the police
as "Zionist pogromehiks."
Of the 64 persons arrested then,
11 were remanded to Magistrate's
Court and 14 were released on bail
after being charged with stone-
hrowing, interfering with traffic
and attacking policemen and civil-
ians.
The other 39, including Amer-
icans and Belgians, were released
earlier on bond. Their names were
not disclosed.
Meanwhile, Ashkenazic Chief
Rabbi Issar Yehuda Unterman
appealed to both sides in the
Sabbath traffic dispute to moderate
their stands.
Speaking over Kol Yisroel, the
85-year-old patriarch said that
Sabbath observers should not get
over-excited about • their cause
because violence would only re-
sult in a breakdown of the
religious-secular dialogue.
But he also warned non-religious
groups that have staged counter-
demonstrations not to resort to
violence against those who are
trying to keep the nation on the
path of the Torah.

Rosen testified on July 25 on
a lengthy list of grievances by
poor Jews against alleged mis-
treatment in the programs. He
said there had been physical vio-
lence against Jews seeking to vote
in anti-poverty elections; lack of
Jewish representation on boards
of anti-poverty agencies in neigh-
borhoods with large Jewish pop-
ulations; and "indequate and dis-
proportunate f u n din g" for the
needs of the Jewish poor. As a
result, Rosen told the Jewish Tele-
graphic Agency, a high-level in-
vestigation was ordered of the
whole range of poverty programs
in New York City.
Rep. James Scheuer, New
York Democrat, called a meet-
ing at his office in Washington
on Aug. 2 which was attended
by officials of the Office of
Economic Opportunity, the fed-
eral anti-poverty agency; the
General Accounting Office, the
federal government's highest in-
vestigating a gene y; and the
Human Resources Administra-
tion, the New York-City super-
agency which directs anti-pov-
erty programs as part of its
responsibilities. At that meet-
ling. it was reported that 11RA
officials had conceded that
Rosen's charges were "funda-
mentally correct."
Subsequently, Rep. Scheuer de-
manded a full report by Sept. 1
on the probe in New York City.
Investigators of the 0E0 and the
GAO have been in New York City
checking out records, interviewing
city officials in an investigation
of Rosen's charges snce the June
25 subcommittee hearing. Rosen
said that, at a meeting with fed-
eral investigators, it was disclosed
that while the formal report will
not be ready for release before
Sept. 1, findings to date indicate
that poor New York City Jews are
being discriminated against in the
anti-poverty programs. In a letter
to Jules Sugarman, HRA admin-
istrator, the Jewish poverty work-
ers group warned that Jews would
"no longer tolerate discrimination
and tokenism. We aim to get our
fair share."
Rosen said the Jewish anti-
poverty association was formed
about a year and a half ago, com-
prised of Jews employed by anti-
poverty and other government pro-
grams serving the poor in New
York City. Rosen said that its
members had learned that "of-
ficialdom could not care less"
about the "horrible contempt and
disregard for the poor Jews who
still reside in the poverty areas
of our city." He said that Jews
comprised the third largest pov-
erty group in New York after
blacks and Puerto Ricans but that
too many people had a "stereo-
type" that Jews generally were
"rich and well cared for" and
found it hard to conceive "of dire
Jewish poverty in our midst."
The CDA reports to the HRA
which in turn reports to the 0E0
on such programs. He said that
while 15 of the 26 poverty areas
contain large groups of poor Jew-
ish residents — in addition to Jews
living in "pockets of poverty" in
transitional neighborhoods — only
five of the community corpora-
tions have Jewish representation.
Of those five, he said, three have
one Jewish representative each on
their boards — those on the Lower
East Side, the Upper West Side
and Coney Island.
