Peres Is Hopeful

JERUSALEM (JTA) —
The likely second accord
with Egypt was described
by defense Minister Shimon
Peres as the best of all the
other alternatives.
Peres said that agreement
on a new accord \vould still
leave Israel with some sev-
ere problems, including ter-
rorist activities and in-
creased tension on Israel's
eastern and northern fron-
tiers. He said he preferred
the proposed new interim
agreement to any alterna-
tive, including a general
agreement putting Israel
hack to its pre-Six-Day War
borders.
Peres also said, "We over-
came many difficulties in
these talks and there is hope
that within the next few
days we achieve its con-
elusion, which will also
deepen the friendly rela-
I between the United
S,„-tes and Israel."

"formally approached,"
Rep. Holtzman called this
decision "plainly dilatory."
She added: "the only con-
clusion that can he drawn is
that the State Department
is making efforts to avoid
contacting any Eastern Eu-
ropean countries, including
the Soviet Union, which
may have relevant informa-
tion about Nazi war crimi-
nals."

the 'U.S. presence in the

According to this timeta-
ble, and assuming all goes
smoothly, the pacts could be
initialled Friday or Satur-
day night.
All parties are interested
in a speedy conclusion. Kis-
singer must return to the
U.S. Sunday to address a
ITN Economic Conference
Monday — but he has re-
portedly indicated that he

would return to the Mideast
if necessary.
Following the signing, an
Israel-Egypt working group
will meet for two to three
weeks to draft the "tech-
nical provisions," mainl -y
military arrangements.

Final signing will, at
Israel's insistence, be held
only once the U.S. Con-
gress approves the Ameri-
can presence in the passes.
There is still some con-

•ern in Israel government
circles about American and
Egyptian statements hint-
ing at some kind of link be-
tween the current accord
and a further interim nego-
tiation with Syria.
Maariv reported in banner
headlines Tuesday that Is-
rael, at Kissinger's sugges-
tion, had agreed to begin
such negotiation with Syria
within three months. This
was not officially con-
fi•med.

Israel's Demonstrate During Talks;
Police Brutality Probe Demanded

TEL AVIV, (JTA) —
Demonstrations, mainly by
Likud and Orthodox ele-
ments, against the proposed
Sinai agreement continued
throughout Israel Sunday
after the government had
played a successful game of
hide-and-seek with. the
protestors to keep them
from finding the exact loca-
tions of the talks between
Secretary of State Henry A.
Kissinger and the Israeli ne-
gotiating team led by Pre-
mier Yitzhak Rabin.
More than 1,000 demon-
strators disrupted traffic in
Tel Aviv and rallies were
held in Jerusalem, Haifa
and other towns.
More than 50 persons
have been arrested since
Kissinger's first arrival in
Israel last week. Protestors
and some reporters have
charged the police with us-
ing overly violent methods
in quelling the demonstra-
tors, a charge that the police
have denied. However, sev-
eral Knesset members are
seeking a special Knesset
session to deal with the
charges of police brutality.
The government, mean-
while, is showing concern
about the intensity of the
protest which is aimed at
both Kissinger and the Ra-
bin government. After
Kissinger left for Egypt on
Friday, Rabin went on tel-
evision to decry the tactics
of the demonstrators.
Kissinger's arrival from
Damascus set off a series of
diversionary tactics by the
government. Protestors
thought he would be taken
to the government's guest
house near the Tel Aviv-
Haifa highway. Crowds of
Gush Emunim, Herut
Youth and Bnei Akiva mem-
bers converged there as the
guest house itself was sur-
rounded by police and ar-
mored cars.
A helicopter came and
several hours later left. All
this was camouflage, as Kis-
singer was actually meeting
the Israeli leaders at a Jeru-
salem hotel.
The demonstrations have
been almost continuous
since the start of the Kissin-
ger mission.
In addition, scores of
counter-demonstrations, led
mainly by Mapam mem-
bers, were held in Tel Aviv
and Jerusalem.
Meanwhile, the behav-
ior of the police is becom-
ing a major issue.
Police Minister Shlomo

Hillel fully hacked the ac-
tion of the police declaring
that the demonstrations
were not political but aimed
to interfere with normal Is-
raeli life. The Tel Aviv police
chief also denied his men
had used brutal methods
saying he had been present
at the demonstrations near
the government guest house
and at Rabin's home and
saw no brutal methods.
Reporters are demanding
an inquiry into the police
methods and the charges
may he taken up by the
Journalists Association.
Meanwhile, the top lead-
ership of Likud met Sunday
and again called for a refer-
endum or a new election
before the government gives
up any territory in the
Sinai. The opposition group
again repeated its claim
that the government of
Premier Yitzhak Rabin has
no mandate to relinquish
territory without getting a

treaty of peace or nonbelli-
g-erency in return.
Likud leaders said that
the negotiations since the
arrival of Secretary of
State Henry A. Kissinger
have borne out their worst
fears. They charged that
the interim agreement
with Egypt in the Sinai
would leave Israel in a
dangerous position and
would lead to more Ameri-
can pressure on Israel.
Meanwhile, settlers on
the Golan Heights met at
Ramat Magshimin and de-
manded the government rei-
terate its position that Is-
rael will not withdraw from
any territory on the Golan.
It also was reported that
Mapam and its kibutz move-
ment, Kihutz Haartzi, have
decided to support the gov-
ernment in its search for an
interim agreement and will
help the government explain
to the public the true mean-
ing of such an accord.

Ford Hopeful Kissinger Will
Succeed in Mideast Mission

WASHINGTON (JTA) -
- President Ford indicated
Monday he was optimistic
that Secretary of State
Henry A. Kissinger would
succeed in his current effort
to arrange a second-stage
Sinai interim accord.
Speaking at a White
House-sponsored economic
conference in Milwaukee,
Ford added that some diffi-
cult problems remained to
he settled in the negotia-
tions. -
Earlier in the day of his
Milwaukee visit he said he
was still studying a pro-
posal of the planned ac-
cord for sending between
100 and 150 American ci-

vilian technicians to help
monitor surveillance sta-
tions in the Sinai moun-
tain passes. He stressed in
a televised interview in
Milwaukee that the Amer-
icans would not be sent
without congressional ap-
proval.

The congressional opposi-
tion about which the presi-
dent apparently was think-
ing was made manifest in a
comment Monday by Sen.
Mike Mansfield (D-Mont.),
the Senate majority leader,
that he would oppose such
use of American techni-
cians, adding that one Viet-
nam was one too many.

South African Is Guest in Israel

JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Gerald Browne, Secretary
of Finance of South Africa,
on a nine-day informal visit
to Israel as the guest of the
United Israel Appeal, met
last week with Finance Min-
ister Yehoshua Rabinowitz,
Commerce and Industry
Minister Haim Barley, Leon
Dulzin, acting chairman of
the Executives of the World
Zionist Organization and
the Jewish Agency, and
with Ezra Shapiro, world

lius Weinstein, chairman of

the South African Zionist
Federation, and Mrs. Wein-
stein.
Describing Browne as "a
genuine friend of the Jewish
community of South Af-
rica" who has "expressed a
keen interest in Israel and
its development," Weinstein
said South African Jews
were "extremely happy"
that Browne had come to Is-
rael to learn at first hand
about its current situation.
The purpose of Browne's
visit is to meet with key
leaders, primarily as cour-
tesy calls.
