Mrs. Chisholm Changes Tune, Favors
Direct M.E. Talks: Plans Visit to Israel

By JOSEPH POLAKOFF
JTA Washington Bureau Chief

(JTA) — Rep.
WASHINGTON
Shirley Chisholm (D., N.Y.) scorns
the Gary resolution on Israel as
"ridiculous," wants the Soviet
Union and the United States to
cease sending arms to the Middle
East, and recommends direct
Israeli-Arab negotiations as the
only way, to settle the conflict
Above all, the only black woman
member of the House of Repre-
sentatives continues to insist that
"Palestine" is the "root cause"
of the conflict and that resolving
it is essential for "peace and har-
mony" in the region.
In an interview with the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency, Mrs. Chis-
holm declined comment on the
strongly pro-Israel plank in the
Democratic Party's Middle East
platform, specifically the provision
that the U. S. recognize Jerusalem
as Israel's capital, saying that she
had not "had a chance to go over
the entire platform."

But in what may be a major
development in her Mideast out-
look — possibly significant in
that she will be campaigning for
the presidential candidate she
sought to deter in the primaries
— Mrs. Chisholm said she was
accepting an Israeli government
invitation to visit Israel before
year's end to "see things there
for myself."

political mainstream with some
hope of success."
On the other hand, the report

"immediate consideration of the
problem of the lack of status of the

2 Activists Arrested After Trying
to Disrupt Ukrainian Dance in NY

NEW YORK (JTA)—An attempt
to halt the performance recently
of the Ukrainian Dance Company

young Brooklyn Jewish activists,
who threw plastic bags filled with
animal blood on the stage, failed
when plainclothes detectives rush-

Avran Malek, 21, and Josepf
Klein, 19, ran down the aisles 15
minutes after the Russian dance
troupe began its regular perform-

bags on stage. Some of the bags
burst on impact but the dancers
finished their number.
Shortly after the arrests, a wom-
