U.S. Explains Veto of UN Resolution, Viewed as 'Setback 'to Peaceful Aims (Continued from Page 1) "When the Security Council vote is seen in the context of other recent events on the international stage (the Nix- on-Brezhnev summit, the European security confer- ence, the International Labor Organization meeting in Ge- neva) a clear picture emer- ges: that there is no possi- bility of breaking through the deadlock by public invective in international forums. "On the other hand, the gates to negotiations between Israel and Egypt are wide open and it is to be hoped that Egypt, which initiated this sterile debate, will now study the need for negotia- tions." Israeli diplomats in several of the council mem- ber states, including Britain and France now will be in- structed to register Israel's displeasure at these states' support for the anti-Israeli resolution, Jerusalem sources said. - The ambassadors of Aus- tralia, Britain, Austria and perhaps some other Security Council members were ex- pected to be summoned to the foreign ministry here to be told of Israel's displeasure at their support of the anti- Israel draft. Officials said the foreign ministry was launching a two-pronged campaign - to ex- press its displeasure to the council members with which Israel has relations: in Jeru- salem their envoys would be called in, and in the various capitals Israel's envoys would make the govern- ment's views known to their host governments. The political director of the Austrian Foreign Minis- try, Dr. Ludwig Steiner, is visiting Israel. (In New York, the Confer- ence of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organiza- tions and the Anti-Defama- tion League of Bnai Brith sent messages to John Scali, U.S. ambassador to the UN, praising his action in vetoing Bulgaria Honors Jewish Leaders SOFIA (JTA)—The Jew- ish Cultural Center of Sofia recently honored the memory of freedom fighters Leon Tag- ger and Violetta Yacova. Tagger, who would have been 70 years in July and Mrs. Yacova, 50, were honor- ed for their "heroism in the fight against Nazism." The Bulgarian government has awarded the "Order of the Red Flag" to Dr. Sam- uel Josef Avramov, a spe- cialist in sports medicine.

U.S. delegate John Scali vetoed the eight-nation Sec- urity Council draft resolution that deplored Israel's occu- pation of territories taken in 1967 late last Thursday afternoon. While the United States was willing to offer amend- ments which would have "restored a degree of bal- ance to the resolution," Bray said, "the absence of a serious response makes it difficult not to conclude that the principle purpose was to draw an American veto." Bray emphasized that the U.S. continues to support a negotiated settlement invol- ving Israel and Egypt but declined to state whether the negotiated process . m u s t necessarily be direct. The U.S. veto came, he said, because the resolution would have "distorted and changed the Security Council Resolution 242 which is the only agreed basis for a settlement." He explained that the de- feated resolution referred to withdrawal from "the" oc- cupied territories rather than the more general "with- drawal from territories oc- cupied . . ." in the Resolu- tion 242. Introduction of the word "the" would have called on Israel to make a total withdrawal from all occupied territories before negotiations would begin. Thirteen of the 15 council members voted in favor of the resolution. The People's Republic of China did not participate in the vote. The resolution drafted by Guinea, India Indonesia, Kenya, Panama, Peru, Su- dan and Yugoslavia also ex- pressed "serious concern at Israel's lack of cooperation" with Dr. Gunnar V. Jarring, the special representative of Secretary General Kurt Waldheim. Huang Hua, the Chinese ambassador, explained that he did not participate in the vote because a resolution must "strongly condemn" what he termed the Israeli- Zionist clique for prolonged aggression, must ask for im- mediate and total with- drawal, and call for the restitution of the rights of the Palestitnians. The draft had cited "respect" for the "rights and legitimate aspir- ations" of the Palestinians. After the vote, Scali said the draft resolution was "un- balanced" and "unrealistic" and the U.S. had vetoed it because the draft would have undermined Resolution 242. Scali said he was "deeply disappointed by the outcome of this debate" and noted the JOHN SCALI resolution, instead of focus- ing on agreement, was more concerned with judging the past. He reiterated that Resolu- tion 242 is the only measure agreed on by all the parties in the Mid-east dispute and remains the framework for solving the conflict. "Casting a veto is never easy," Scali explained, but pointed out that it was necessary in view of the "unbalanced and par- tisan resolution:" Israeli Ambassador Yosef Tekoah, exercising his right to reply, told the council that the veto "averted grave de- velopments and it preserves Resolution 242 as the basis on which agreement can be sought." He criticized Egypt for its policies which he said have not changed "since the days of war when its goal was to annihilate the Israeli people." The 13 nations who voted for the draft resolution, Tekoah declared, were "di- vorced from the truth and realities of the Middle East conflict." Soviet Ambassador Yakov Malik, in his right of reply, stated that the vote for the resolution was proof of Is- rael's international isolation and that Israel's attacks on the Soviet Union were in- tended to turn American Jews against the USSR. Golda: No Comparison Between Jews, Palestinians JERUSALEM (JTA) — Premier Golda Meir rejected comparisons between the situation of the Jewish people and those of the Palestinian Arabs. Addressing the Knesset on its last day before adjourn- ing for the summer recess and the October elections, Mrs. Meir said such a com- parison was a "complete distortion." While Jews around the world lived outside of their homeland, the Palestinian Arabs can express their na- tionality in Jordan, she said. "Israel is the only country in the world where the people of Israel can live in Jewish independence," Mrs. Meir said. She reiterated that between the Mediterranean and the eastern desert there was room for two countries only, a Jewish state and an Arab state, Israel and Jordan. She said "we oppose the creaticn of an additional Arab state." While the Palestinian refu- gee problem was caused be- cause the Arab states pre- vented any solution in the Middle East, Mrs. Meir said, Israel had started after the Six-Day War to rehabilitate Arab refugees under its con- trol. "We did and we shall do our utmost, and we shall try to obtain resources from international sources to achieve this goal," she said. Mrs. Meir rejected the possibility of Israel negoti- ating with the Arab terrorist organizations, saying, "It is not acceptable that we shall negotiate with murderous or- ganizations which aspire to destroy Israel and create in its place a Palestinian state." She expressed surprise at repeated mention in the UN and other places of the "legitimate interests" of the Palestinian people. "These statements do not contribute 6—Friday, August 3, 1973. to the advancement of peace," she said. They only encourage the terror organ- izations ideologically and cause false hopes, she added.
