Two-Year Course in Hebrew Planned at Oak Park High The Oak Park Board of Education has approved the introduction of a two-year course in Hebrew for students at Oak Park High School beginning next September. The board voted for the accredited course at a meeting Dec. 6, following protracted discussion by the board and interested commmunity leaders. Support for such studies was expressed in a Jew- ish News editorial Nov, 5,. and several groups, including the Hebrew Action League, promoted in- troduction of Hebrew into the public school curriculum. A teacher and course materials have not been selected as yet, but the demand for Hebrew will be determined in early registration during February. A minimum of 20 students must register if the course is to be offered.

In approving the 21-power draft introduced by Afghanistan and 20 other nations, the assembly noted "With appreciation Egypt's positive reply" to Ambassador Gunnar Jarring's Feb. 8 aide- memoire and called on Israel to "respond favor- ably" to it, and called for reactivation of the Jarring mission "as envisaged" in that memoran- dum. The vote was 79-7, with 36 absentions Israel voted no. The U. S. abstained, contending that while it supported some aspects of the reso- lution it preferred to concentrate on an interim Suez Canal agreement. All other measures before the assembly were defeated. The adopted resolution also described as "inadmissible" the acquisition of territory by force, called for "withdrawal of Israeli armed forces from territories occupied in the recent con- flict," endorsed "secured and recognized boun- daries," the termination of belligerency and sovereignty of all states in the area, and express- ed "full support" of Jarring's attempts to "fulfill" Resolution 242, which called on the parties to give "full cooperation" on achieving freedom of navi- gation, "a just settlement of the refugee prob- lem" and the territorial inviolability and political independence of all states in the area. The reference to freedom of navigation did not include the phrase "all ships." The adoption of the resolution represents a recommendation by the assembly. JERUSALEM (JTA)—A solution of the Mid- dle - East conflict will have to be sought in the future outside the framework of United Nations institutions, Israeli circles said Tuesday in the wake of Monday night's 79-7 vote in the General Jackson Amendment Defeated The Jackson Amendment providing military credits for Israel was defeated in the House of Representatives Wednesday, 291-39. Israel's supporters still believe the 5500,000,000 credit fund is available in the continuing resolution for foreign aid. (Detailed story on Page 3) Assembly in favor of an Egyptian-inspired resolu- tion calling for Israeli withdrawal to the pre-June 1967 boundaries. Israelis were clearly embittered by the vote, which they described as a distortion of the Security Council's Resolution 242 of Nov. 22, 1967. They seemed to pin their hopes for breaking the deadlock on American initiatives for an interim agreement between Israel and Egypt to reopen the Suez Canal. Sources here said the government was still waiting for clarification from the U. S. on the terms,of such an agreement. What Israel wants is an American undertaking not to insist that Israel permit Egyptian forces to cross the canal in the event of an Israeli pullback. According to the Israelis, Dr. Jarring's man- date from die Security Council required him to promote an agreement between the two sides, not to make proposals of his own. In the Israeli view, Dr. Jarring's memo was out of order, and he is directly responsible for the present impasse in negotiations.
