Sadat Declares Only Complete Destruction
of 'Israeli Arrogance' Will Satisfy Egypt
JERUSALEM (JTA I — Repeat- '
ing that Egypt was prepared to
sacrifice a million men in battle
against Israel, President Anwar
Sadat promised in a May- Day
speech in Alexandria that Israel
would "pay an even higher price. -
Ile declared that Egypt would not
be satisfied with the liberation of
the territories occupied by Israel
but only with "the complete de-
struction of the Israeli arrogance.",
Sadat likened Israel to the Cru-
saders of the 11th Century and said
all Arab peoples must fight against
the "Zionist invaders." Sadat also
rejected the American proposal
for an interim agreement with Is-
rael to reopen the Suez Canal.
He told his audience, "The Rus-
sians help us with armaments but
we shall fight by ourselves." Politi-
cal circles here commenting on
Sadat's speech said it represented
a. verbal escalation against Israel.
Tass, the Soviet news agency.
tarried a condensed version of
Sadat's speech, eliminating the
Passage in which he said Egypt
was prepared to sacrifice 1,000,-
000 men. Moscow radio had not
even mentioned the speech. The
Tass version dropped Sadat's
attack on Israel and his de-
clared intention to renew war- .
fare against Israel.
Gen. Israel Tal, head of the
general staff branch at Israel Army
general Headquarters, said that
despite the paring of the 19'72 de-
fense budget, Israel's armed forces
would be ready to meet any threat
from across the borders.
Tal also disclosed that fewer
reservists will be called to active
duty this year; the period of re-
serve duty will be reduced from a
month to two-three weeks: and
more women soldiers will be as-
signed to non-combat duties . to
make more men available for corn- '
bat.
Tal said Israel's armed forces
were operating on two premises:
without a peace settlement, a new
general war as a resumption of
limited warfare is a possibility:
and terrorist activities will in-
crease.
In Washington, Joseph J. Sisco,
assistant secretary of state for
Near Eastern affairs, said that

The winter Olympics ,kert , sched

t:ustal'US Kirby exhorted Ger -
many's Olympic leaders against
permitting propaganda to play a
part in the games. Upon his re
turn from Germany, he declared
he had seen no signs of anti-Jewish
discrimination during the events.
It was the very opposite observa-
tion of the widely-syndicated col-
umnist, Westbrook Pegler, who, in
a series of articles, -fiercely ex-
coriated the Hitler regime for its
mistreatment of Jews and other
groups.
On Aug. 18, 1935. an anti - Semitic
drive had been initiated in Garm-
isch-Partenkirchen, with Jews vir-
tually forbidden to enter. the town
that would host the winter Olym-
pics six months later. The prohibi-

Fearing. apparently, the negative
effect that such anti-Semitic man
ihnstatems could have upon the
live:national Olympic Committee.
Hitler himself assured ('mint

baiting placards would hr removed
from Catmisch Partenkirvhen and
Berlin for the Olympics. The pro-
mise also undoubtedly in-
tended to assuage potential Olym-
pic tourists.
How much the success of the
Olympic Games meant to Germany
may also be judged from the fact
that it did not capitalize en the

Although it reflected a less bru-
tal chapter of the history of Nazi
persecution of the Jews, the Olym-
pics issue was utilized to combat
the Hitler menace. As Stephen
Wise put it:

the U.S. effort to bring about
an Arab-Israel agreement for
reopening the Sues Canal is
"largely in temporary suspen-
sion" but that the "door still
remains open regardless of all
the difficulties."
Sisco told a national foreign pol-
icy conference at the State De
partment for leaders in higher ,
education that the American striv-
ing to reopen the canal has not
become a "lost opportunity. -
A deep sense of frustration has
come over Egypt because of its
inability to regain the Sinai but.
Sisco said, Cairo has "a realistic
appreciation that the exercise of
the military option is not in the
interest of Arabs or Israelis and
carries with it a serious risk of
major power involvement."
The USSR and the U.S., he said,
in responding to a question, are
both interested in the mainten-
ance of the cease fire, but he
doubted whether their long-range
interests were similar.
United Nations Secretary Gen-
eral Kurt Waldheim has apparent-
ly taken over the reins, at least
temporarily, from UN mediator
Gunnar V. Jarring in an attempt
to break the impasse over Middle
East peace negotiations
While the Jarring mission has
not been written off, Waldheim is
known to have approached the
Israeli and Egyptian ambassa-
dors to the UN separately last
week with a proposal for a Mid
East peace conference which he
indicated he would be willing to
chair
The idea was broached to Is-
raeli Ambassador l'osef Tekoah
and Egypt ‘inbassador Ahmed
Abdel Maguld. Waldheim's plan
reportedly would insolve
Egt.tit. Jordan and Syria in talks
of some sort. probably indirect
