Waldheim Ends M.E. Trip With Some
Pessimism, Some Good Words for Israel
JERUSALEM ( J T A) —
United Nations Secretary
General Kurt Waldheim
wound up his five-nation Mid-
dle East tour in Amman
Tuesday.
The UN leader 'made it
plain, in statements during
his 31-hour visit to Israel
last Thursday and his stay
in Cairo Sunday that he could
perceive no break in the im-
passe.
However, Waldheim sent a
telegram to foreign minister
Abba Eban stating: "The
understanding I found in your
country toward my efforts to
contribute a just and lasting
peace in the Middle East is
a source of great encourage.
ment for me."
Political sources in Jeru-
salem said that the telegram
proves that the secretary
general received a positive
impression from the Israeli
approach to the conflict be-
tween Israel and the Arab
countries.
The sources also stated
that the telegram indicated
that Waldheim intends to
continue his personal involve-
ment in an effort to break
through the Mideast deadlock
and is frying to maintain
good relations with both sides
in the conflict.
Waldheim repeatedly stres-
sed the enormity of the ef-

Piddle East peace, main-
tained that the UN was ready
and able to play an import-
ant part in that endeavor and
said he was convinced that
all parties sincerely desired
peace.
But he reiterated to news-
ment at all his stops that he
brought no fresh proposals
and had received none from
the government leaders with
whom he met.
Waldheim stated in Israel
and repeated again in Cairo
that the peace-seeking mis-
sion of his special Mideast
representative, Ambassador
Gunnar V. Jarring was still
valid and said he would meet
with him to discuss the find-
ings of his trip.
Israeli leaders expressed
satisfaction with Waldheim's
visit insofar as it enabled
them to convey to him the
Israeli point of view in the
Middle East conflict.
During Waldheim's stay
here he held two working
sessions with Premier Golda
Meir and lengthy talks with
Eban. He described his talks
with Israeli leaders as "very
fruitful."
Topics raised by the Israeli
leaders with Waldheim, it
was learned, included Arab
NEW YORK—The movie
version of "Jesus Christ
Superstar" could produce
"anti-Semitic prejudices
•mong young and adult
Christians who had previous-
ly never harbored such
thoughts, since the film
version depicts the traditional
stereotype story blaming
Jews for the crucifixion of
Jesus."
This is the opinion of
Rabbi Balfour Brickner, di-
rector of the national com-
mission of interfaith activ-
ities of Reform Judaism, in
a 20-page study guide on the
film which he prepared for
distribution to the 710 Re-
form synagogues belonging
to the Union of American
Hebrew Congregations.
"But, rather than simply
denounce the movie as anti-
Semitic and seek to have it
banned, as some Jewish
groups have done, the Jewish
community of this country
would do much better if it
devoted itself to a study and
discussion of the exacerbat-
ing issues involved both with
its own constituency and with
the Christian community,"
Rabbi Brickner observed. The
guide is designed to facilitate
that kind of study.

terrorism, the plight of Jews
in Syria and Iraq and Soviet
Jewry.
The Israeli leaders also ex-
presed resentment over the
International Civil Aviation
Organization's (ICAO) con-
demnation of Igrael in Rome
and complained in general
of anti-Israel bias and one-
sided treatment within the
UN.
The Israelis also raised a
matter of immediate concern
— a Pow exchange with
Egypt. Egypt holds 10 Israeli
POWs, most of them pilots
shot down before the August
1970 cease-fire. Israel has
more than 50 Egyptian
POWs.
His reception was friendly
though low-keyed in every
country he visited. Heavy
security precautions attend-
ed his stay in Jerusalem.
His visit there was marred
slightly by his refusal to don
a skull cap when he entered
the Yad Vashem memorial
to place a wreath on the
marker memorializing the
Six Million. A spokesman
for t h e secretary-general
isued a statement afterwards
that Waldheim, a Catholic,
had not been informed of the
significance of wearing head-
gear during the religious
portion of the ceremonies at
the Yad Vashem. His head
was covered when he visited
a synagogue later in his tour.
T h e Austrian diplomat
placed a wreath on the mem-
orial stone and stood in si-
lence for several minutes.
When reporters asked him
to express his feelings, Wald-
heim replied, "I am deeply
moved by what I have seen
here and I have the deepest
respect for the sacrifice of
millions of people. This is a
terrible history and I hope
and pray that it will never be
repeated."
During a visit to the Holy
Sepulchre. a Coptic nun pre-
sented to Waldheim a mem-
orandum urging him to con-
vince the Egyptian govern-
ment to stop persecuting the
Coptic community in Egypt.
During a dinner in his hon-
or at the Eban residence,
Waldheim referred to Jerusa-
lem as "Israel's capital."
The UN does not recognize
Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
Later, however, the UN
spokesman issued a commun-
ique stating that Waldheim
was making an "impromptu
response to a toast" and that
the remark was inadvertent.
Waldheim arrived for the
Summit Conference of Non-
Aligned Nations in Algiers
Tuesday, is not expected to
return to New York until
next week.
Waldheim said his visits to
five nations in the region
gave him an "excellent in-
sight" into the problems
they faced. "I am now in a
better position to decide after
my return to headquarters in
New York, how to proceed
further and how we in the
United Nations can help in
order to find a satisfactory
solution" to the Middle East
conflict, he said.
In the Jordanian capital,
Waldheim met with King
Hussein, Crown Prince Has-
san and Premier Zeid al-
Rifai. He also visited a Pales-
tinian refugee camp, remark-
ing afterward that the visit
had convinced him of the im-
portance of finding a "real
solution" to the Middle East
problem.

PRINCETON
IRV
There are hardly any boys clothing stores around that can
properly outfit your son for a special occasion.
But there is a mens clothing store that can:
PRINCETON.
Where else will you find suits and sport coats designed by
Pierre Cardin for a 13 yr. old. Or a size range that goes from
6 slim to 22? Husky's included (that's a little guy?)
Or free alterations by great tailors?
And Princeton doesn't only cater to Bar-Mitzvas or weddings.
There is quite a selection of Fall fashions in Bag Pants — Shirts
— Sweaters — Winter Jackets — Shirt Suits and Layered Looks.
Be it for Lad or Dad.
But there is an ulterior motive behind all this
dedication to the little guy.
If Princeton is the only place he can turn to when he's a boy,
where do you think he's going to shop when he grows up?
