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 A U.S. resolution that placed equal weight on the actions of both sides was withdrawn before the voting.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- (Continued on Page 12) 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- (Continued on Page 5) Dayan: Good Relations With Ara bs a Solution to Conflict Israel to Start l`ayment do 11ged Jerosalemites 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 become entitled to such allowances after completing a 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 minimum of five years of consecutive payments to the institute.

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.
