JERUSALEM (JTA)—Israel is preparing to take the offensive toward reactivating the Jarring
peace mission 'by pressing the United Nations envoy to adopt a formula that can lead to resumption of
talks, informed sources said.
The first step will be - to ask Dr. Gunnar V. Jarring in effect to dissociate himself.specifically from
the Egyptian-inspired General Assembly resnIntion of last December which called on 'Israel to make an
affirmative reply to his aide memoire of Feb. 8, 1971, asking Israel for a commitment to withdraw
prior to peace negotiations. Dr.' Jarring will be asked to make this repudiation in the form of a letter
to Foreign Minister Abba Eban stating that he is not bound by the UN General Assembly's resolution
but solely by Security Council Reso-
Community Gears for JC Drive
lution 242 of Nov. 22, 1967.
Dr. Jarring will be asked by Israel
to suggest an agenda for the resump-
tion of his mission that does not con-
tain reference to his Feb. 8 memo.
- It is believed here that Dr. Jarring

Henry Ford II Affirms Strong Link to Israel
-
By Philip Slomovitz
Henry Ford II utilized an eight-day visit in Israel for multiple purposes: to
solidify a 35-year industrial relationship with the Holy Land, to cement friendships
with Israeli and Jewish leaders, to extend an interest in an ancient historical inspira-
tion—and to socialize.
Every aspect of the Israel visit by America's leading industrialist was, from
all_ indications, a marked success.
He met with the people who represent the Ford Motor Co. and he has assigned
a company vice president to study the conditions that may call for expansion of auto
assembling in the Jewish state. He met with Israel's leading government officials.
He returned with a fascination for the archeological aspects.
There was the normal question for an interviewer searching for an explana-
tion of so noted a Christian's impression of the Jewish state. Mr. Ford was puzzled.
He explained: he didn't go to Israel—his first visit in a Middle Eastern country—
with an ethnic, racial or religious preconception, but as an American, a human being,
with an interest in a developing country. The spell of his seeing the country throbbing
with activity remains. He is fascinated: he was introduced to antiquity, to a 5,000-
year-old history which functions in so much modernity. He was aware of the arche-
ological revelations and his admiration for the links created—the antiquity merged
with modernity—overwhelms him.
He turned to his book shelf, pulled out a copy of General Yigal Yadin's latest
book, "Bar Kokhba," and expressed appreciation for an opportunity to become more
intimately informed about diggings that prove historical authenticity in an ancient
land now redeemed by modern builders.
Mr. Ford's intimacy with his own interests—the Ford cars and their distribu-
tion in Middle Eastern countries—was a subject for serious concern in a rare
interview by a great industrial leader about the Middle East—and the Jews who have
begun work of redemption. But he gave an indication of more vital interest in his
meeting with Arabs. One Arab, he said, affirmed to him that his kin and coreligionists
in Israel are 100 years ahead of Arabs in other hands. Then he spoke with animation
about the reception given him and his companion on his visit, the eminent national
Jewish leader, Max M. Fisher, by notables in Nazareth, including the city's Arab
mayor and three Arab members of the Knesset.
He hesitated to say it but smilingly recalled that at that party he was encour-
aged to play a big role In creating peace in the Middle East. The Arab leaders
told him how well they live now, what good the Ford assembly plant in Nazareth
does for them—creating jobs and raising their economic standards—and they prayed
for an early peace. "Couldn't you be a peace maker?" they asked Mr. Ford.
