Jerusalem's Status Considered
lEban Condemns UN
`Imbalance" on Israel
JERUSALEM (JTA)—Foreign Minister Abba Eban said
Tuesday that Monday night's Security Council resolution
condemning Israel for raids on Lebanon was further proof
of the Council's "one-sidedness" and "imbalance." He
specifically rejected the resolution's call for the release
of one Lebanese and five Syrian officers captured in
Lebanon by Israeli forces on June 21.
Israel will not agree to their return except within the
framework of a general prisoner of war exchange, Eban
told newsmen.
The foreign minister's remarks were the first official
reaction here to the resolution condemning "the repeated
attacks of Israeli forces on Lebanese territory and popula-
tion" which the Security Council adopted by a 13-0 vote.
The United States and Panama abstained on grounds that
the resolution did not equally condemn Arab acts of
terrorism as it had the Israeli attacks. A U.S. resolution
that placed equal weight on the actions of both sides was
withdrawn before the voting.
The resolution called on Israel "to desist forthwith from
any violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity
of Lebanon" and expressed "the strong desire" that appro-
priate steps would be taken for the immediate release of
the captured officers.
Eban said that when Israel decided on its action
against terrorists in Lebanon, it took into account a prob-

WASHINGTON (JTA)—The 150-member Democratic Platform Committee overwhelm-
ingly approved a minority foreign policy proposal representing the views of Alabama Gov. George
C. Wallace which contains a plank on the Middle East that differs in many respects front the
strongly pro-Israel plank incorporated into the party's 1972 platform. By a show of hands, the coat
mittee agreed that the Wallace proposals would be presented as a separate minority - report to the
Democratic convention which meets in Miami Beach July 10 to nominate the party's .1972 stand,ini-
bearer.
The Wallace Middle East plank differed most markedly from the majority plank in that
it failed to mention the status of Jerusalem. The plank written into the platform, which must
be approved by the convention in Miami Beach next month, specifically calls on the U. S. to
recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital and to transfer its embassy to that city from Tel Aviv. The
Wallace proposal also differed from the majority plank in that it made no mention of Soviet
Jews while expressing concern for the "captive satellite nations" of Eastern Europe. Wallace's sup-
porters, however, did back a proposal by the 15-member platform drafting subcommittee calling
for the U. S. to utilize "diplomatic contacts" with the USSR to help Soviet Jews. At the insistence
of the Wallace people, the platform committee inserted a clause urging such assistance for the
"oppressed" in Eastern European countries and the "minorities" in the Soviet Union, as well as Jews.
Approval of the Wallace foreign policy proposals as a minority report for consideration
by the convention was seen here as a gesture of conciliation toward supporters of the Alabama
governor who is in a Maryland hospital recovering from gunshot wounds inflicted by a would-be
assassin last month. The proposals represent the first full presentation of Wallace's foreign
policy views. Regarding the Middle East, they state that "first and foremost is the need for sincere
negotiations" between Israel and the Arab nations. Wallace also declares: "We must assure that no
imbalance of force comes to exist in this area" because "nothing could more endanger the peace."
The majority report incorporated Into the platform was much stronger. It recommended
that the U. S. "be unequivocally committed to support Israel's right to exist within secure and
defensible boundaries" and called for "long-term public commitment to provide Israel with air-

JERUSALEM (JTA I — The Israel National Insurance
Institute has announced that, starting in July. it will begin
paying old-age allowances to Arab and other minority
residents in East Jerusalem.
Under the national insurance law, insured Iwrsons

JERUSALEM—Defense Minister Moshe Dayan, ad-
dressing the Hebrew University graduation ceremony,
said that one of the possible ways to a solution of the
Middle East conflict is to ensure good neighborly rela-
tions between Israel and the Arabs in the Israel admin-
istered territories.
"Israel has to allow Arabs to work wherever there is
employment and to ensure that they have equal social
benefits and wages," Gen. Dayan stressed. He rejected
the call for purely Jewish labor, which meant not allow-
ing Arabs to work in Israel. Another positive measure

same rights as other inhabitants of the area.
The defense minister emphasized that Israel must
continue to search for a more constructive and uncon-
ventional answer to the Middle East conflict. Israel
needed a great deal of political wisdom and daring
imagination, and this could only be expressed by a young
generation imbued with Zionist responsibility, he said.
