Richard S. Schweiker (R-Pa.) served notice he would urge Congress to withdraw U.S. financial support from the ILO for "legitimizing" Arab terror- ists. The House Appropria- tions Subcommittee has approved funds totaling nearly $30 million for pay- ment by the U.S. of its 25 percent share of the total ILO budget, as requested by the State Department. "The United States has nothing in common with an arm of the UN which recognizes the PLO as a bona fide spokesman for the Arab people," Schwei- ker said at a Jewish United Fund of Chicago meeting.

NY Times Hits Increasing Bias of UN Affiliates Politicizing of UN agen cies was assailed in an edito rial in the New York Times Saturday under the heading "Gnawing at the U.N." The editorial follows: The condemnation and isolation of Israel from the regionals councils of the United Nations Educa- tional, Scientific and Cul- tural Organization is proving far more destructive than originally perceived. Senators Schweiker, Clif- ford Case (R-NJ) and Hu- bert Humphrey (D-Minn.), all members of the Senate Appropriations Committee, were among those instru- mental in convincing the U.S. delegation to the World Health Organization to op- pose recognition of the PLO which the WHO did not ad- mit.

The International Labor Organization and the World Health Organization are the latest targets of the Arab offensive against Israel. At the conference of the ILO in Geneva, the Palestine Liber- ation Organization was granted observer status. The American delegation walked out, calling the vote a tragic decision because the PLO was a political, not a labor, entity under the ILO charter: And the American position was made official by Secretary of Labor John T. Dunlop, who had planned to address the conference but refused to attend after the vote to seat the PLO. UNESCO itself has al- ready suffered. Some of its important programs are imperiled because the United States and other concerned nations have properly resisted making contributions to the agency while it violates its mandate and tradition of nonpartis- anship. The other day the original creators of the UNESCO headquarters and its art works — including Marcel Breuer, Alexander Calder, Joan Miro, Henry Moore and Isamu Noguchi — called for an end to all sanctions against Israel. Instead, UNESCO again succumbed to Arab pres- sure and hardened its posi- tion. The United States con- tributes a significant amount of funding to the specialized agencies, in some instances as much as a quarter of their total budgets. The $16 million contribution to UNESCO has been held up; the $29 million for WHO in next year's authorization mea- sure has also been de- layed. A large group of members of Congress have warned WHO's director general that expulsion of Israel would undermine._ support and confidence in the international health organization. It has become clear that the Arab bloc — the great- est beneficiaries, along with the Third World nations, of UN aid and expertise — is willing to risk destruction of the specialized agencies even if this means depriving millions of people, including its own, of health, welfare, educational and other direct assistance. And too many shortsighted members of the UN, prey to Arab petro- politics, have acquiesced or abstained when the agen- cies are locked into positions that degrade the organiza- tion's charter and coven- ants. Politicization of the or- ganization's specialized agencies — the most effec- t.i-ve and humanizing parts of the UN structure — needs to be resisted by all countries; at stake may be the future of the United Na- tions itself. ing with the Prime Minis- ter, Gough Whitlam, in Canberra. In contrast to a visit last month by two representa- tives of the General Union of Palestinian Students, a PLO affiliate, Surani's visit was marked by an absence of violent clashes between Jewish demonstrators and PLO supporters.
