AMSTERDAM (JTA) — A
spokesman for KLM Royal
Dutch Airlines said Tuesday
that the hijacking of one of
its jumbo jets by Palestin-
ian terrorists Sunday was not
directed at the airline com-
pany but against the Nether-
lands. The spokesman said
KLM has always had excel-
lent relations with the Arab
nations.
The government agreed to
the hijackers' demands that
it cease assisting emigration
of Soviet Jews to Israel, that
it not supply Israel with
arms, that it prohibit Dutch
citizens from joining the Is-
raeli armed forces and that
KLM stop transporting arms
to Israel. The government,
however, insisted that it was
never involved in any of
these acts and that the Neth-
erlands had never served as
a transit country for Soviet
Jews.
According to a Dutch jour-
nalist in Beirut, the hijackers
also demanded that the Neth-
erlands break off all commer-
cial relations with Israel.
Foreign Minister Max Van
Der Stoel on Nov. 19 pre-
sented Parliament with a
memorandum outlining what
he termed a balanced Dutch
policy on the Middle East
conflict. The memorandum
called for safe and recog-
nized borders for Israel and,
at the same time, recognition
of the legitimate political
rights of the Palestinians.
Van Der Stoel warned the
Arab nations, however, not to
strain Dutch-Arab relations
too much with ever-increasing
demands if Holland is to
maintain this balanced Mid-
east policy.
(In Israel, last week, the
Natanya town council ap-
proved a suggestion to re-
name two of its streets
"Richard Nixon Boulevard”
and "Holland Street" in ap-
preciation of the friendship
and aid given to Israel by
the President of the United
States and the Netherlands).
Clergymen attending the
synod of the Dutch Reformed
Church held near Utrecht
last weekend failed to arrive
at a unified view on the Mid-
dle East situation.
Despite lengthy discussions,
they did not adopt a state-
ment on the Middle East.
One of the speakers, Prof.
Hendrik Berkhof, criticized
the executive of the Dutch
Reformed Church for not
adopting a pro-Israel stand
during the Yom Kippur War.
The secretary general of the
Dutch Reformed Church, Al-
bert Van Den Heuvel, dis-
agreed and called Holland's
pro-Israel sentiment during
the first days of the war
"frighteningly one - sided,"
adding that it completely ig-
nored the existence of 20,-
Weizmann Institute Mobilized
to Meet National Emergency;
Dr. Dostrovsky Elected President
REHOVOT — A pledge to
mobilize the Weizmann In-
stitute's resources in order
to meet Israel's needs in this
time of national emergency
was made by the institute's
board of governors at its
annual meeting, held in Re-
hovot under the gavel of
board chairman Abraham
Feinberg.
Prof. Israel Dostrovsky,
elected president of the insti-
tute after serving for one
year as acting president, de-
clared that the institute —
like the rest of Israel—would
have to learn to live and
function efficiently under
difficult conditions, thus de-
feating Arab attempts to
make normal life impossible.
The Weizmann Institute, he
said, would step up its con-
tributions to defense and in-
dustry, without sacrificing its
basic commitment to the
broader ranges of scientific
inquiry.
Chancellor Meyer W. Weis-
gal paid tribute to Weizmann
Institute personnel killed and
wounded during the Yom
Kippur War. Standing before
black-bordered photographs
of the fallen, Weisgal said
that the small institute fam-
ily suffered grievous losses
in what, he hoped, would be
Israel's last war.
Feinberg promised that the
institute's overseas support-
ers would do their best to
ensure that the institute's
vital work could continue.
He concluded by reading a
message from Founding
Board Chairman Dewey D.
Stone, who was unable to

proposed a meeting with both
chief rabbis of Holland and
a "Christian Arab delega-
tion."
Earlier this month, the
Dutch chief rabbis expressed
their disappointment at the
neutrality of the Christian
churches during the war.
Prof. Zwi Werblowsky of the
Hebrew University, a well-
known figure in Holland, has
also criticized the Christian
church for its neutral stance.

Executive Council Chair-

tutes of Health, reporting on
behalf of its scientific and

to find that Institute re-

shock and difficulties of the
war and its aftermath.
Swiss Will Freeze
Arab Accounts if
Arabs Embargo Oil
BASLE (ZINS)—The Swiss
government has warned the
Arab oil countries that it
will freeze Arab accounts
held in their banks if the
Arabs make good their threat
to embargo oil to Switzer-
land, it was reported by the
Swiss correspondent for the
Israeli daily, Ha'aretz, here.
The warning came as a
result of a threat issued by
Libya that it will cease ship-
ping oil to Switzerland unless
the government cancels its
ban on continuing the train-
ing in Switzerland of Libyan
helicopter pilots.
It is estimated that approxi-
mately 20,000,000,000 Swiss
francs are deposited in Swiss
banks to the credit of vari-
ous Arab accounts.
Meanwhile, in Zurich, in an
editorial comment, the Zur-
iche Zeitung writes that Is-
rael, in assenting to the Kis-
singer cease-fire proposal,
"has succumbed to political
blackmail."
It contends that Israel's
foreign policy is "based on
illusions;" that she does not
recognize the reality for what
it is but rather for what she
would like it to be.
