Speaking at Orly Airport
Sunday upon his return
from a five-day official visit
to Egypt as the guest of
President Anwar Sadat,
Giscard d'Estaing said,
"Egypt's choice of France
(for building the arms in-
dustry) strikes me as wise.
Israel ought to consider that
France's 'policy aims at
peace in the Middle East."
He added, "It is only natural
for Egypt's leaders to organ-
ize their own. security."
.Precise details on the
arms industry which will be
set up are not yet known.
Repofts from Cairo say it
will be a three-party affair
with France supplying the
technical knowhow, - Egypt
the manpower, and the Gulf
States — Saudi Arabia,
Qatar and Kuwait — the
funds estimated at $9 bil-
lion. France has also agreed
to help Egypt set up a nu-
clear industry of its own
and build atomic piles
which, Egypt. hopes, will
supply the country with
half its energy require-
ments by 1985.
PLO Pressures Seen
Israeli • Ambassador
Simha Dinitz told the Con-
ference of Presidents of
Major American Jewish
Organizations in New York
that "powerful efforts" were
underway to change the
American goVernment posi-
tion on non-recognition of
the Palestine Liberation
Organization. He said that
there had been some
"erosion" in press and aca-
demic circles but that the
State Department was still
standing firm.
Dinitz told some 75 Con-
ference leaders that the

problem of recognition of
the PLO was one of three
major issues confronting
Israel today, the others
being the massing of mod-
ern military equipment and
technology in the hands of
the Arab states and the at-
tack on Israel and Zionism
in the United Nations.
Meanwhile, the-Jerusa-
lem Post reported rumors
that Dinitz may be replaced
when his three-year term as
ambassador to the U.S. ex-
pires March 1.
Top ministers are un-
derstood to feel that Dinitz
became overly close to
Secretary of State Kissin-
ger, failing to cultivate
other key figures in the
U.S. Administration.
Thus, it is said, Dinitz
neglected President Ford's
close aide, Donald Rums-
feld, while he was White
House chief of staff, and
now that he has been made
Defense Secretary, Israel
has no_close access to him.
Dinitz is also blamed for
knowing nothing of the re-
cent Saunders paper on U.S.
Palestinian polity before it
was publicized by Saunders
in his Congressional testi-
mony, the Post said.
Most recently, Dinitz left
WaShington for the West
Coast and Hawaii on UJA
engagements just when the
UNDOF mandate crisis was
coming to a head. He is thus
held in part to blame for the.
unexpected American fail-
ure to veto the Syrian-PLO
move at the Security Coun-
cil linked to the mandate
extension.
Some political observers,
however, feel that the Gov-
ernment will in effect use
Dinitz as a scapegoat and
put the blame on his head
for the steadily adverse
shift in U.S. Mideast policy.
These observers, accord-
ing to the Post, maintain
that this shift was objec-
tively unavoidable, or that if
Israel did have any iriflu-

SPITZER'S
Knesset to Study Problems
of Arab Student Guard Duty
JERUSALEM — The
Knesset Education Commit-
tee decided last week to try
to reconcile the conflicting
poSitions of the Hebrew
University and the Arab
Students Committee over
the students' refusal to do
guard duty at campus hos-
tels where they live.
Leaders of the Arab Stu-
dents' Council at the He-
brew University said earlier
they would serve as hospital
helpers, medics, telephon-
ists or library workers
"double-time" — if they
were not forced to guard the
campus hostels where they
live.
Adel Mana'a, Riad
Aniin and Nabil Nahas,
who claimed to represent
the 450 Arabs on Jerusa-
lem's Hebrew University
campus, and Beni Temkin
and Arie Arnon of
"Campus," a left-wing
organization of Jewish
and Arab students, told re-
porters they - do not object
to guarding by Arab stu-
dents. But the require-
ment of Arabs who live at
hostels to do guard duty i4
"unjust, because Arabs
are not required to take
part in the defense effort."

"But since Arabs feel like
a minority in Israel, making

Temkin of the "Campus"
group said, "If everything in
Israel were equal — in get-
ting jobs and housing — and
if guarding hostels were the
only thing that kept them
unequal, then I would re-
quire Arabs to guard," he
said.
