Golda, Israelis Deeply Moved by POW Report FRAGELS®
(Continued from Page 1)
It was reliably reported
that Kissinger also presented
to Israeli officials some gen-
eral ideas on disengagement
given to him by Syrian Pres-
ident Assad in Damascus
Tuesday.
General satisfaction through-
out Israel that the names had
been disclosed and on the
Syrian agreement on Red
Cross visits was tempered by
fears that the list of 65
names of POWs was incom-
plete. Israeli sources had es-
timated the number of POWs
as high as 120, an estimate
later reduced to 80, which
would leave at least 15 Isra-
eli POWs unaccounted for in
the Syrian list handed to
Kissinger.
Observers here noted that
Israel had agreed to such a
pattern of settlement on the
POWs when the United
States first suggested it two
weeks ago. Israeli officials
indicated then that Israel
would agree to a small time
lapse between the Red Cross
visits to the POWs and the
start of substantive disen :
gagement talks.
The Kissinger settlement
satisfied Israel's precondi-
tions and saved face for Syr-
ia which can claim that the
talks started Wednesday
when Kissinger transmitted
to Israeli officials President
Assad's general ideas on dis-
engagement.
Israel's position is that the
talks will actually Start on
Friday, when Kissinger is due
back here, after the POWs
have been visited. Syria had
rejected the U.S. proposal,
contending that the Israeli
demands on the POW issue
should be resolved as part of
the disengagement talks.
Kissinger said when he
arrived at the airport that
"I believe we made good
progress" in Damascus "on
some of Israel's most urgent
concerns."
Prime Minister Golda Meir
broke off her talks on efforts
to form a new coalition gov-
ernment to meet with Kis-
singer. Later she went on
radio and television to report

The large Arab colony in
Brazil, comprised of 2,000,000
people, mostly Lebanese, has
acquired an important posi-
tion in business and industry,
especially in Sao Paulo.
Challita said that Brazil's

eign investment, which have
drawn the U.S. Japan and
THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Europe, is also drawing the
Arabs. Its size and political

on the status of the disen-
gagement talks.
Kissinger briefed Mrs.
Meir on his talks in Damas-
cus and then met with other
members of Israel's negoti-
ating team and with Chief
of Staff Gen. David Elazar.
Israeli officials have said
that an exchange of prison-
ers is the first topic it wants
to discuss. Israel holds 402
captured Syrian soldiers, in-
cluding more than 40 officers
and a number of Iraqis and
Moroccans who fought with
Syria.
The observers said that
Kissinger's goal on his cur-
rent Mideast visit was to es-
tablish a negotiating frame-
work in which disengagement
terms would be worked out.
The framework which Kis-
singer himself reportedly con-
siders would be most accept-
able to Syria is a continua-
tion of the Egyptian-Israeli
military group meetings at
Geneva. Syrian officers would
join this group and conduct,
together with the Egyptians,
negotiations on disengage-
ment.
Beyond the prisoner ex-
change is the wider question
of the extent to which Israel
will withdraw from its posi-
tions in Syria and how this
will be carried out. How and
when Syria-Israeli talks
might be resumed in Geneva
is one of the topics Kissinger-
was expected to d i s cuss
Thursday in Cairo with Pres-
ident Sadat.
Kissinger is due back in
Jerusalem Friday for more
talks and then is scheduled
to visit Damascus again Fri-
day with Israeli proposals
for next steps.
Premier Meir announced
Kissinger's arrival with the
list of 65 POWs on television
Wednesday night.
She said 62 of the POWs
are Israeli soldiers and three
are "Arab citizens" of Israel.
A later announcement de-
scribed the three as civilian
guards.
The 18 Israeli soldiers not
named are still listed as miss-
ing. Mrs. Meir said there was
evidence that some of the
missing men were killed in
combat and pledged that ef-
forts will be made to deter-
mine the fate of the rest.
She said that Israel was
promised, through Secretary
Kissinger, that Red Cross
representatives would be al-
lowed to visit the Israeli
POWs in Syria beginning Fri-
day. In the meantime, she
said, the army has informed
the families of the POWs and
the missing men of their fate.
"The people of Israel lived
with deep concern for the
fate of the POWs from the
moment it was informed of
their captivity until the mes-
sage that they were alive,"
Mrs. Meir said. "However,
the joy was mixed with sor-
row," she said. "We all par-
ticipate in the agony of those
families whose sons are not
on the POW list."

The pre m i e r expressed
hope that the POW list was
the first step toward the re-
lease of the soldiers. "We
shall not cease our efforts un-
til each one of our sons comes
back from captivity," she
said.
The premier expressed
thanks to Dr. Kissinger for
his efforts to obtain the POW
list and to arrange for an ex-
change of prisoners. She said
that at the moment Israel
holds 386 Syrian POWs "and
others" and is ready to ex-
change them for Israeli'
POWs at "any moment."
She also expressed Israel's
willingness to do its utmost
for -a disengagement agree-
ment on the Syrian front. She
said Israel would submit its
ideas on disengagement to
Dr. Kissinger Friday to be
conveyed "personally" to the
Syrian government.
Detroiter's Nephew
in Kissinger POW List
Albert Berke, member of
the staff of the Detroit Is-
rael Bond Organization, re-
ceived the happy news Wed-
nesday night that his nephew,
Menahem Barkai of Degania
Bet, is among the survivors
in Syria.
The moment the list of
POWs in Syria was released
in Israel, Wednesday night,
Albert's brother, Shlomo
Barkai, called Detroit to in-
form him that his son was
among those listed by Kis-
singer. There had been con-
cern during the past 126
days, and Menahem was
among the missing in action.
Menahem Barkai was cap-
tured by the Syrians on Mt.
Hermon where he operated
the Israeli military radio
station.
