Toon Urges Quiet Diplomacy
in Protecting Israel in UN

WASHINGTON (JTA) —
President Ford's Ambassa-
dors-designate to the United
Nations and to Israel were
in conflict last week on how
to meet the rising threat
that the Arab states, backed
by their Third World allies,
will try to expel Israel from
the United Nations General
Assembly next fall.
Daniel P. Moynihan,
Ford's nominee to succeed
John Scali as America's Per-
manent Representative to
the UN, declared that the
U.S. must issue a tough
statement "now" that it will
not tolerate even an "effort"
to oust Israel from the Gen-
eral Assembly.
But Malcolm Toon, the ca-
reer foreign service diplo-
mat nominated to replace
the late Ambassador Ken-
neth Keating in Tel Aviv,
advocated "quiet diplo-
macy" to protect Israel's
status in the world organi-
zation.

Both men expressed
their views in testimony
before the Senate For-
eign Relations Committee
which is conducting hear-
ings on their -nominations.

Toon's appointment was
confirmed Monday by the
Senate.
Toon claimed that the
"tactics" suggested by Moy-
nihan would be "less than
helpful" because "a blunt
statement now would pro-
duce confrontatfon"' and
create "something we wish
to avoid."
He suggested, instead,
that the U.S. "work quietly
behind the scenes with the
more moderate" members
of the Arab-led "non-
aligned" nations and "let
them work quietly" with
other elements "to prevent
the collision from taking
place."
Toon said that his posi-
tion on the "Palestine prob-
lem" was contained in the
language of the Vladivostok
communique of President
Ford and Soviet Communist
Party Secretary Leonid
Brezhnev last November.

Asked by acting commit-
tee chairman Sen. Richard
Clark (D-Iowa) what he
thought a "fair and peace-
ful settlement of the Pales-
tine problem was," Toon
replied that the Vladivos-
tok communique had pro-
vided for "the legitimate
interests and aspirations
of the Palestinian people."
None of the committee

members challenged that
quotation although the
word "aspirations" was not
included in the Ford-Brezh-
nev language.
Toon said that "certain
private commitments" were
made in the disengagement
accords on shipping, but
added, "I simply don't
know" whether President
Sadat will "permit" Israel-
bound cargoes through the
canal.

ADL Files Boycott Charges Against 4 Firms

(Continued from Page 1)

tion of American Jews. He
added that those companies
"are simply the top of the
iceberg" and that the ADL's
action against them is only
"the vanguard" for more le-
gal charges against Ameri-
can firms discriminating
against Jews.
The charges against the
four firms include:
• Aramco, an oil com-
pany operating in Saudi
Arabia and fully aware of
that country's barriers
against. Jews, effectively
discriminates
against
American Jews by stating
on its employment applica-
tions that "ability to obtain
a visa from the Saudi Ara-
bian government" is a condi-
tion of hiring.

• Bendix-Siyanco, a
joint venture of Bendix
Field Engineering Corp.
and Saudi Maintenance
Co., LTD., which recruits
management personnel,

technicians and instruc-
tors for the Saudi Arabian
Army Ordinance Corps,
screens out Jewish job
applicants by requesting
religious information on
its employment forms, a
violation of the Civil
Rights Act and a presiden-
tial executive order.

Although the chairman of
the board of Bendix-Siyanco
claims that the offending
form has been withdrawn,
he conceded that the form's
withdrawal will not affect
the composition of the work
force.
• The Hospital Corp. of
America, by asking for reli-
gious identification, screens
out Jewish applicants for
jobs in a Saudi Arabian hos-
pital with which it has a
contract to recruit person-
nel.
The League revealed last
February that a major rea-
son HCA had obtained the
contract in the first place

was that, according to Dr.
Thomas F. Frist, the compa-
ny's executive vice presi-
dent, "Most of the other
companies are heavily Jew-
ish run."

• International Schools
Services, a teacher re-
cruitment agency, issues
job orders in behalf of the
United Arab Emirate state
of Abu-Dubai which
makes it impossible for the
employment of any teacher
who has "a Jewish sur-
name, or who is an Ameri-
can Jew or who has Jew-
ish ancestors."

At a press conference
Tuesday, Forster said that
the League has been forced
to litigation because the
"government is trying to
carry water on both shoul-
ders." He declared that key
executive agencies are work-
ing at cross purposes."
On the one hand, he said,
"The departments of trea-
sury and commerce are

being seduced by the lure of
increased profits and busi-
ness to the point that they
are blinking at violations of
American ethics and laws.
This is frustrating the ef-
forts of the Departments of
Justice, Labor and HEW to
enforce the laws against
employment discrimination
both at home and abroad."
