Fulbright Joins Nixon in Praise of Kissinger
WASHINGTON (JTA)
President Nixon, Vice Presi-
dent Gerald Ford, House
Speaker Carl Albert and a
score of leaders of the major
committees of both Houses
of Congress gave Secretary
of State Henry A. Kissinger
a "round of applause" when
he appeared at the White
House Monday to report on
his 11-day, 15,600-mile trip
to the Middle East.
Their bipartisan show of
support punctuated express
sions of admiration of Kissin-
ger's "shuttle diplomacy"
that they made clear has
their full support.
But they also made clear
that the disengagement of the
Israeli and Egyptian ,forces
that he had engineered is "a
_preliminary step" in the pro-
cess toward peace in the
area.

Only One Listed a Hostile
Survey of Black Papers Finds Most
Favored Israel or Were 'Mixed'
NEW YORK — A survey
of leading black newspapers
across the country indicates
that the overwhelming ma-
jority were either favorable
to Israel or even-handed in
the news reports and edi-
torials they published on the
Yom Kippur Waf, the Ameri-
can Jewish Congress re-
ported.
A sampling of the black
press for a seven-week
period beginning with the
outbreak of the war Oct. 6
showed only one of 15 black
newspapers studied to be op-
posed to Israel, the AJC said
in a report delivered at its
national governing council
meeting here.
In the study, five black
newspapers were classified
as "generally favorable" to
Israel, five as "mixed" and
four as publishing too little
news or opinion about the
issue to warrant a judgment.
(The latter included Detroit's
Michigan Chronicle, circula-
tion 51,222).
Commenting on the find-
ings, Naomi Levine, execu-
tive director of the American
Jewish Congress, declared:
"The results of this study
challenge the frequently-ex-
pressed view that the black
community is at best indif-
ferent to Israel and at worst
hostile to the Jewish state.
"At the same time, how-
ever, the survey demon-
strates that there remains
much work to be done by
Jewish organizations in
pointing out to the black
community that Israel is a
democratic movement of na-
tional liberation and that the
United States has a com-
pelling interest in her sur-
vival."
The survey closely exam-
ined 11 of the largest black
newspapers in the country,
published in New York, Chi-
cago, Detroit, Philadelphia,
Los Angeles, Baltimore,
Cleveland and Atlanta — the
major centers of black popu-
lation.
Four weeklies in smaller
cities — Kansas City, Dur-
ham (N.C.), Minneapolis and
Norfolk—also were covered.
More than 60 other black
newspapers were spot-check-
ed for their news stories and
editorials on the Arab-Israel
conflict.
Listed as favorable to Is-
rael were the Atlanta In-
quirer, Chicago Daily De-
fender, Los Angeles Sentinel,
Minneapolis Spokesman and

Agency, said that Kissinger
had "done a very good job"
and that his trip achieved
"a very good preliminary
step."
This is the only time" he
noted, that
such negotia-
tions have taken place."
Fulbright was reminded
that he had said in October
to the JTA that Israel should
be assured of "physical and
political security," and he
was asked what he thought
of the separation agreement
in relation to that security.
"It is in the interests of
Israel," Fulbright replied.
"Israel is more exposed than
anyone. -
When it was observed that
Egypt and Israel did not
have face-to-face meetings
for the disengagement agree-
ment, Fulbright replied that
they are "engaged in the
process of negotiations" and
"the climate is moving in
that direction." He said the
disengagement is "a begin-
ning process to be carried on
in Geneva."
Asked about the Soviet
role in the disengagement
process, Fulbright said "the
Russians have not obstructed
it and have been coopera-
tive." Kissinger, he added,
"could not have done it with-
out their acquiescence, but
he is the initiator and de-
serves the credit."

"Neutral" or "mixed" in
their coverage were Atlanta
Daily World, Baltimore Afro-
American, New York Anster-
dam News, Norfolk Journal
and Guide and Philadelphia
Tribune.
Showing no significant cov-
erage of the Middle East
conflict were: Cleveland Call
and Post, Detroit Michigan
Chronicle, Durham Times
and Kansas City Call.
The Los Angeles Herald-
Dispatch was the one black
newspaper described in the
study as anti-Israel.
Muhammed Speaks, pub-
lished in Chicago by the
Black Muslim movement,
and the Oakland (Calif.)
Black Panther were not in-
cluded in the survey because
they were regarded as ideo-
logical journals published by
organizations rather than
newspapers. Both were
strongly anti-Israel.
The Chicago Daily De-
fender, which appears five
times weekly, published com-
prehensive news coverage of
the Middle East war and the
most favorable editoral com-
ments, according to the
study.
An editorial in the news-
paper's Oct. 25 issue said
that Syria and Egypt could
"not escape the responsibil-
ity for starting the war" and
observed that the United
Nations must "not bend its
ears to the Arab dream of
power at the expense of Is-
rael's boundary. security and
defense needs."
A syndicated column by
Bayard Rustin, Negro rights
leader, urging support for
Israel and asserting that the
fate of Israel and American
blacks was "inseparable."

Similarly, a news story

by 74 Negro union leaders
praising the "courage and
determination of the people
of Israel" and appealing to
the U. S. government "to
provide Israel with whatever
support it required to defend
itself" appeared in scores of
black newspapers across the
country, the survey found. .
The Los Angeles Sentinel
reprinted an editorial from
another black newspaper, the
Oklahoma Eagle of Tulsa,
entitled "Israel Needs Sup-
port" and declaring that
President Nixon had "acted
wisely in sending aid to Is-
rael."

Dayan was tied for fourth
