Kissinger told reporters after his first round of talks with Gromyko Monday that he was not con- templating a new round of "shuttle" diplomacy in the Middle East. He told the newsmen that his dis- cussions with GromykO took place in a construc- tive and friendly atmosphere but did not refer to any progress being made on the Middle East con- flict.

He will meet with President Anwar el Sadat in Salzburg, Aus- tria, next weekend and with Israeli Premier Yitzhak Rabin in Washington June 11-12. In Washington, President Ford said again Tues- day that no decision would be made on next steps in Middle East peace efforts until he completed his talks with Sadat and Rabin. The President discussed the Middle East during a lengthy interview with New York Daily News re- porters in his office. The President said again the U.S. had three op- tions: a resumption of the "suspended talks" for a sec- ond Egyptian-Israeli Sinai accord, which collapsed March 22; a "total solution, including Israel-Egypt, Is- rael-Jordan and Israel-Syria on a comprehensive ba- sis;" or an effort for "some interim settlements" "under the umbrella" of a renewed Geneva confer- ence. "We haven't made any decisions yet and won't until I have talked with Sadat and Rabin and come back and pull together everything we have been work- ing on and see what we are going to do," Ford said. In Jerusalem, Premier Rabin announced that he had asked the Mapam leadership to meet with him for a "coordination session" before his trip to Washington to meet with Ford. This action followed warnings by the veteran Ma- pam leadership that they would not tolerate the La- bor majority's failure to correct the government lead- ership's foreign policy inaction. Suspects Held After Terror Wave JERUSALEM (JTA) — A large explosive charge concealed in a paint can was found in downtown Jerusalem Monday and defused by police in Zahal Square near City Hall and the Old City walls. All Jerusalem residents were warned to be on the alert following a wave of terrorist incidents in and around the city over the Shavuot weekend. In one incident a suspected terrorist sustained self- inflicted wounds when an explosive charge detonated as he was planting it in the Ramot Eshkol district. Security sources said that 69 suspected terrorists were detained in the Jenin area of the West Bank. The suspects are believed to represent four separate terrorist organizations includ- ing Israeli Arabs. Large stocks of arms, ammunition and explosive charges were seized by the army and police. The arrests represented the largest round-up of terrorist suspects on the West Bank in recent months. A booby-trapped picnic basket exploded injuring 20 persons on a crowded public beach on the shores of the Dead Sea Saturday. Four of the people were seriously injured. In another incident, Faris Issa Awad, 25, was killed by a hand grenade Sunday while tarring the roof of a school building near Acre on Haifa Bay. Police said that Awad, a school employe, was carrying the grenade when it exploded. Explosive charges detonated Saturday under Arab-owned trucks in Ramallah, 15 miles north of Jerusalem and in the neighboring village of Albirah. One person was slightly injured. Police believe that all of the weekend incidents were the work of local terrorists. Terrorist infiltration from outside is believed to have been prevented by the heavy security measures taken in all border areas last week to forestall assaults on civilians during May 15th, the 27th anniver- sary of Israel's independence and the Shavuot holiday that followed.
