6 Friday, February 21, 197S THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Kissinger Optimism vs. Saber-Rattling (Continued from Page 1) Israel has insisted on guarantees of non-belliger- ency from Egypt in return for territorial .concessions. Egypt has demanded a firm Israeli time-table of with- drawals and Sadat has sug- gested that Kissinger should act as the "guar- antor" for both sides. Israel has also demanded as- surances that any agree- ment negotiated with Egypt at this time will not be abro- gated when the Geneva con- ference resumes, should it end in deadlock. According to the sources, the State Department ex- perts, were instructed to study such questions as who decides that a situation has arisen requiring implemen- tation of the guarantee and what the guarantor is ob- liged to do once such a situa- tion occurs. Officials in Jerusalem reacted cautiously to re- ports that Kissinger might consider U.S. guarantees, or even a formal defense pact with Israel, as part of a second-stage accord. The Israeli officials were careful not to reject the idea out of hand. At the same time they stressed that it had not come up in the talks here with the Secretary last week. The officials stressed that a defense pact could possi- bly be useful in addition to direct mutual commitments between Israel and Egypt which, they insisted, must form the central plank of any settlement. They said a U.S. commit- ment might be welcomed as additional strengthening of an accord — along with pr- ovisions for a strengthened UN role in policing the ar- rangements on the ground. The Shah of Iran mean- while has re-affirmed his earlier hint to Israel that Iran would sell Israel the oil it would need to compensate for the return of the Abu Rodeis oil fields in Sinai to Egypt. Shah Reza Pahlevi made the remarks in Zurich Tues- day after a lengthy meeting with Kissinger before the latter flew to Paris. He said that Iran would sell its oil to ,all purchasers, including Israel and would not partici- pate in any embargoes. "Once the tankers are loaded it is of no import- ance; we don't know where it goes," the Shah. said. Iran continued to supply oil to Is- rael during the 1973 Yom Kippur War. (The Shah's much-pub- licized pledge is a mere reiteration of the Iranian monarch's statement of more than a month ago. At that time he also accompa- nied his pledge with a warning that Israel must withdraw from all occu- pied territories. The latter warnings were made while. he was in Cairo. Most of Israel's oil supplies have always come from Iran). Kitzir Cancels Nepal Trip JERUSALEM (JTA) — President Ehphraim Katzir has cancelled his visit to Ne- pal to attend the coronation of King Direndra in Kat- mandu, the Nepalese Capi 7 tal. The president acted on the advice of. government officials after the Nepalese government informed Is- rael, through its Ambassa- dor, Avshalom Caspi, that hostile elements planned to create disturbances during the coronation ceremonies. The Nepalese authorities did not indicate whether the planned demonstrations were aimed specifically at Israel. President and Mrs. Katzir were due to leave for Nepal in a few days. No official an- nouncement of the cancella- tion has been made yet ow- ing to a dispute with the Nepalese government over the nature of the announce- ment. Nepal wanted a brief statement with no explana- tion while Israel insisted that a reason be given. Ambassador Caspi was nominated to represent Is- rael at the coronation. The Shah's remarks were reportedly prompted by Kissinger who apparently believes that once Israel is assured of its oil supplies it will be more amenable to re- turning the Abu Rodeis oil fields and the strategic Mi- tle and Gidi Passes to Egypt. The oil supply would then become a financial problem with Israel needing between $200-400 million against its balance of pay- ments deficit. Kissinger has discussed that aspect with Israeli leaders, a U.S. official said, and has reportedly assured the Israelis that the U.S. would supply Israel's oil needs in the event that Iran, cut off the supply. In Geneva, after two days of weekend talks between Kissinger and Soviet For- eign Minister Andrei Gromy- ko, American sources said that after Gromyko pressed Kissinger to set a time limit for holding the Geneva con- ference he finally agreed to let the Secretary continue with his step-by-step ap- proach. The sources indicated that Gromyko said the Soviet Union will neither help nor hinder Kissinger in his quest for a partial agreement between Israel and Egypt. Both Kissinger and Gromyko agreed, these sources said, that CLEAN-UP — ALL REMAINING Fall & Winter $45 to $395 ultimately all the parties will have to return to the Geneva conference. Kissinger told newsmen that Egyptian President Anwar Sadat will pay an of- ficial visit to Washington "during the first half of this year," probably before the end of 'June. He gave no other details. Kissinger flew to London Monday to meet with Bri- tish Prime Minister Harold Wilson, had lunch with the Shah of Iran in Switzerland on Tuesday, and met with French President Valery Giscard d'Estaing in Paris Wednesday, following his round of visits to Israel and Arab capitals last week.
