(Continued from Page 1)
Monday as planned. Egypt
has accused the United
States of wanting to postpone
the debate.
Algerian Foreign Minister
Abdelaziz Bouteflika, ending
a three-day official visit to
France, declared that direct
negotiations between Israel
and the Palestinians were
"possible." When asked how
he envisaged a settlement of
the conflict, he said he had
no "miraculous solution" but
added: "Only the evacuation
of the occupied territories
and the recognition of the
Palestinians' national rights
can solve the ' problem."
Bouteflika's visit is the first
by an Algerian Foreign Min-
ister since Algeria became
independent 11 years ago.
Meanwhile there were re-
ports here that a Palestinian
terrorist leader suggested in
Beirut the creation of a Pal=.
estinian underground- move-
ment inside Israel's borders
to subvert the Jewish state
from within. -Dr. George Ha-
bash, leader of the Popular
Front for the Liberation of
Palestine, claimed that there
are a million and a quarter
Palestinians living within
Israel's borders, and they
should form the nucleus of
the underground organiza-
tion "to promote the endless
struggle against the Zionist
entity."

Soviet Seen to Remain
Firm on Jewish Returnees
VIENNA (JTA) — Jewish
sources here said that there
seemed to be little chance
that the Soviet Union would
change its position against
some 200 Russian Jews who
emigrated to Israel and are
now in Vienna seeking per-
mission to return to the
USSR. "It is unrealistic to
think that after the death of
Soviet Ambassador (to Aus-
tria) Averky B. Aristov the
Soviets are going to change
their mind on the subject,"
the sources said.
Following Aristov's death
last week, rumors cropped
up that the new Soviet envoy
would take a softer line on
issuing visas to Jews who
want to return. "Without a
directive from MoscoW even
a new man in Vienna will
not have the authority to
ease the situation," the
sources .said".
Keanwhile, Egyptian For-
eign Minister Mohammed
H. el Zayyat arrived here
July 12 amid strict security
precautions for four days of
talks with Chancellor Bruno
Kreisky and Foreign Minis-
ter Rudolph Kirchschlaeger.
He flew here from Bel-
grade after two days of
political talks with President
Tito and other Yugoslav of-
ficials. Kreisky had repeat-
edly suggested that the
Middle East conflict be put
on the agenda of the Euro-
pean Security Conference in
Helsinki. He was supported
in that by Soviet Premier
Alexei N. Kosygin during his
official visit here recently.
Egypt is looking for a
"third door" that will settle

Keren Hayesod Goal a Record
JERUSALEM (JTA)—The
Keren Hayesod hopes to raise
some $120,000,000 this year,
the largest amount since the
Six-Day War, Director Gen-
eral S. J. Kreutner announced
here.
Kreutner said fund-raising
campaigns were well under
way in 69 countries and
pledges were running 25 to 30
per cent above last year's
$102,000,000.
The $120,000,000 prognosis
allows for subsequent fall-off
between pledges and pay-
ment, Kreutner said. The
largest increases are expect-
ed from Australia, Belgium,
Britain, Switzerland and
South Africa.
Kreutner ascribed this
year's increases to the "grow-
ing identification of world
Jewry with the struggle of
Soviet Jewry and the enthusi-
asm generated by Israel's
25th anniversary."
Kreutner also gave details
of the special fund that has
been created to raise a total
of $50,000,000 for the under-
privileged in Israel among
those originating from Afri-
can and Asian countries.
It is intended to approach
some 400 to 500 selected con-
tributors during the next two
years for individual contribu-
tions of $200,000 each.
It will be stipulated that
these contributions must be
above and beyond what the
contributor gives to the regu-
lar Keren Hayesod-United
Israel Appeal or United Jew-
ish Appeal campaign.
The government has under-
taken to match whatever
monies the special fund

out the. use of force, el Zay-
yat said during his visit.
He was speaking at a news
conference after talks with
Austrian Foreign Minister
Kirchschlaeger. El Zay-
yat, a plump man who fre-
quently mopped his brow
during the gathering with
reporters, said the Middle .
East crisis "has to be
closer to a solution today
than, for example, one year
ago."
El Zayyat said Egypt wants
"to - put an end to the war
by putting an end to the oc-
cupation of our land." He
said he was going to the
UN as "an unrepenting op-
timist," hoping that concrete
results would be forthcoming.
Asked whether he thought
the Suez Canal would be
opened before Israel and
Egypt had settled their dif-
ferences, el Zayyat replied,
"We have 1,000,000 refu-
gees who lived in Suez. We
cannot send them back to be
killed by the fire of war."
(Asking for his view on the
State Department's proposal
for the reopening of the Suez
Canal, Henry M. Jackson,
disapproving, stated:
"I can't understand our
State Department announc-
ing that we want to open
the canal as a gesture of
good will. That would mean
the distance between Odessa
in the Black Sea, where the
Russians base their Southern
Fleet, to the Persian Gulf
would be some 4,000 miles,
compared with perhaps 8,000
from Vladivostok to the Per-
sian Gulf, the principal route
the Russian Navy uses with
the canal closed.")
President Anwar Sadat of
Egypt accused the United
States Monday of trying to
postpone the UN debate so
that it can press its propos-
als for interim talks between
Egypt and Israel for reopen-
ing the Suez Canal. (U.S.
spokesmen denied the
charge.)
Most observers here dis-
counted the Egyptian charge.
They said that, on the con-
trary, Cairo was responsible
for the delay because, having
originally invited the debate.
It is now in a quandary over
what it wants the Security
Council to do.
El Zayyat was asked wheth-
er he thought Austria was vio-
lating its neutrality by allow-
ing Soviet Jews to transit
here on their way to Israel.
"It violates Austrian hos-
pitality toward me," el Zay-
yat told a Jewish Telegraphic
Agency reporter with a
chuckle.
