Herzog, referring to
Zionism, said it was "sad"
to see a group of nations,
many who had recently
freed themselves of colo-
nial rule, "deriding one of
the most noble liberation
movements of this century
. . .

"go to Israel as soon as pos-
sible." Mansur R. Kikia of
Libya, speaking for the
Arab League, said Moyni-
han, in his speech before the
AFL-CIO convention in San
Francisco, had violated tra-
ditional diplomatic cour-
tesy.

The Jewish Agency, meet-
ing in Jerusalem, expressed
"shock and disgust" at the
resolution, and said it was
"A call for genocide."
Meanwhile, Arab and Af-
rican delegates to the
United Nations General
Assembly turned their ire
this week on U.S. Ambassa-
dor to the UN Daniel P.
Moynihan, who denounced
last week's scathing attack
on Israel end Jews by
Uganda President Idi Amin
and called him a "racist
murderer."
Tiamiou Adjibade of Da-
homey, speaking for the
46-member African bloc aid
if Moynihan confused his
NV ork at the UN with de-
fending Zionism, he should

Clarence Mitchell Jr., a
member of the American
delegation responded in
Moynihan's absence by
charging that Amin's ad-
dress was "an affront to
millions of citizens of the
United States."

"We fought a long and
costly Nvar against one kind
of racism, inflicted upon
the world by a dictator who
exterminated millions of
humans because they were
not members of what he
called the master race,"
Mitchell said stressing he
was speaking for the U.S.
government. "If we had
been less courteous with
that dictator in the begin-
ning immense human suf-
fering and loss would have
been avoided."
Moynihan at a reception
given by the United Nations
Association of the USA,
said Tuesday that Amin's
speech had "slandered" all
the American people by say-
ing the U.S. was "run by
Zionists." He added that
"we are not here to hear to-
talitarian dictators lecture
us on how to run a democ-
racy."
Presidential Press Secre-
tary Ron Nessen said
Wednesday that President
Ford believed the state-
ments by Moynihan and
Mitchell "needed to be said."
Nessen added, "The Presi-
dent feels that is about all
he can contribute."

in Israel as a paratrooper
and accepted Israeli techni-
cal assistance for his coun-
try, called on the American
people "to rid their society
of the Zionists." "I call for
the expulsion of Israel from
the United Nations organi-
zation and the extinction of
Israel as a state so that the
territorial integrity of Pa-
lestine may he ensured and
upheld," Amin said.

He claimed that the U.S.
had been colonized by
Zionists who hold all the
tools of power and devel-
opment, who allegedly
control all banking insti-
tutions, communications
and other key structures of
American society and in-
filtrated the CIA to con-
vert it into a "murder
squad" to eliminate any
form of resistance in the
world.

Israeli Foreign Minister
Yigal Allon lodged a formal
protest of the speech with
Assembly President Gaston
Thorn of Luxembourg.
Israel's Ambassador to
the UN Chaim Herzog re-
fused to respond on the floor
of the Assembly in order not
to "dignify" Amin's charges.
Dr. Thomas P. Melady,
who was the American
Ambassador to Uganda

from May, 1972 to Septem-
ber, 1973, when diplomatic
relations were severed,
called on the UN to appoint
a committee to investigate
the "atrocities and execu-
tions" committed by Amin.
U.S. officials have said that
there is no reason to doubt a
report by the International
Commission of Jurists that
25,000 to 250,000 Ugandans
have been murdered since
Amin seized power in 1971.

Many Jewish and non-
Jewish groups sent letters
and telegrams in protest of
Amin's statement.

The official Uganda radio
station broadcast a state-
ment claiming Amin's sur-
prise at Moynihan branding
him a racist murderer.
"President Amin was com-
mended by everyone he met
in the United States, includ-
ing Jews, because nobody
had ever before told them
the truth about Zionist pol-
icy," the station said.
Herzog last week de-
nounced a speech by Yugo-
slav Foreign Minister Milos
Minic, who called for sanc-
tions against Israel for
"defying UN resolutions."
He also rejected Libya's
protest of the acceptance of

Israel's credentials at the
General Assembly sessions.
"I note with satisfaction
that world opinion as ex-
pressed at the various inter-
national meetings in Stock-
holm, in Western Europe, in
Kampala and in Lima, has
rejected this move conscious
of the danger to the future
existence of the United Na-
tions arising therefrom."

Calling for an end to the
acrimonious debate and to
"tiresome stream of invec-
tive" against Israel, Her-
zog stated "when I con-
template the behavior of
some of my Arab col-
leagues, their mode of ex-
pression when addressing
us, their paranoid fear of
speaking to or meeting
with myself or any of my
colleagues, their unrealis-
tic attitude in debate, I
wonder if the time has not
been reached for them to
graduate from the kinder-
garten-type of policy in
which they indulge."

The representatives of
Saudi Arabia and Syria
used the right of reply to
condemn Israel's "policy of
aggression against the Ar-
abs."

Explosives Found at Airport

TEL AVIV (JTA) — The
discovery of about a half
kilo of explosives and two
electric detonators in the
false bottom of a suitcase
left behind by an unknown
traveller put Ben Gurion
Airport on the alert Monday
and set off an intensive in-
vestigation by police and
security officials to trace
the owner of the suitcase.
The discovery coincided
with a security drill at the
airport which closed down
the terminal for several
hours.
The suitcase, which con-
tained. no identification or
markings, was noticed by
porters on one of the termi-
nal's conveyor belts after all
the other luggage had been
picked up.

false passport and the
chances of tracing that
person are slim. The se-
curity drill, which took
place as scheduled, simu-
lated potential situations
arising from bombings or
explosions inside the air-
port area.

Meanwhile, a lull in the
civil strife in Lebanon
brought a renewal of terror-
ist activity along Israel's
northern border. An Israeli
patrol came under bazooka
and small arms fire near
Manera.
The fire was returned.
There were no Israeli cas-
ualties. The incident was
the first near the Lebanese
