Former UN Truce Officer Urges Creation of a Palestinian State
LONDON (JTA) --
General Odd Bull, former
commander • of the UN
Truce Supervisory Or-
ganization (UNTSO) in
the Middle East, has
come out in strong sup-
port of a Palestinian Arab
state.
Summing up his ex-
periences from 1963 to
1970, the Norwegian gen-
eral writesin the English
edition of his memoirs,
published here, that "jus-
tice in the Middle East
means, among other
things, that the rights of
the Palestinian Arabs
must be recognized and
that they must be given
the. opportunity for self-
determination in those
parts of Palestine which
they occupied before the
1967 war."
Bull says that "the
principle of repatriation"
should be accepted, ad-
ding that since the Is-
raelis would not hand
over the areas to the PLO
unless defeated in
another war, "it would
probably be necessary for
the areas to be taken into
temporary UN trustee-
ship."
The 1975 Sinai agree-
ment, Bull claims, did no-
thing to halt the arms race,
thus opening the way to
nuclear weapons. It also
UN General Assembly Agenda
Includes Mideast, Palestinians
UNITED NATIONS
(JTA)—The "Situation in
the Mideast' . and the
"Question of Palestine"
are among the first issues
to be discussed by the up-
coming General Assem-
bly scheduled to convene
Sept. 21. -
The provisional agenda
of the 31st General As-
sembly contains so far
119 items for considera-
tion. The "Question of
Palestine" is item 27 and
the "Situation in the
Mideast" item 29.
In discussing the
Palestinian question, alp
Assembly will be pre-
sented with the Report of
the Committee on the
Exercise of the Inaliena-
ble Rights of the Palesti-
nian People which rec-
ommends the creation of
a Palestinian state under
the rule of the PLO. It
also calls for Israeli with-
drawal from all Arab ter-
ritories by June 1977.
Meanwhile, Israeli and
Western diplomats are
waiting to see what sort of
action the Arabs will take
at the conference of the
non-aligned countries in
Colombo later this month.
The PLO has already
started a campaign calling
on Third World countries
to impose economic and
political sanctions against
Israel.
Diplomats here say
that the Arabs will also
seek support at the con-
ference for their drive to
oust Israell from the UN.
Last year the Arabs did
not succeed in their effort
to obtain the non-aligned
countries'cupport to sus-

Nazis' Victims
Are Still Traced
July Entebbe Raid
Leader Promoted
LONDON — In the
30th year of operations,
the International Trac-
ing Service at Arolsen,
Germany, supervised by
the International Red
Cross Committee in
Geneva since 1955, con-
tinues in the collection of
documentation on Nazi
persecution in Europe,
serving both the reunion
of families and the supply
of certificates in substan-
tiation - of claims under
the compensation laws of
Germany.
According to its latest
`Operation Report 1975'
the ITS last year received
"detailed and valuable
new information" espe-
cially on Hungarian Jews
in the Czechoslovak-
Hungarian border area of
1ustria to which Hunga-
fians were deported in
the summer of 1944.
M. Albert de Cocatrix,
director of the ITS, has
confirmed that overall
"very few documents"
have been received from
the Czechoslovak au-
thorities while greatest
assistance has been re-
ndered by the Polish gov-
ernment, according to the
International Council of
Jews from Czechos-
lovakia.
did nothing about the
maintenance of the status
quo in the occupied areas
by forbidding the setting
up of new settlements
there.
The book, first pub-
lished in Norwegian,
sheds light on the ex-
changes between Israel
and her neighbors for
which Bull was the in-
termediary. Thus he con-
firms that on the first day
of the Six-Day War he
conveyed to Jordan Is-
rael's offer of mutual
non-aggression.
However, in Bull's
view, the Israeli offer was
"a threat pure and sim-
ple, and it is not the nor-
mal practice of the UN to
pass on threats from one
government to another.
But this message seemed
so important that we
quickly sent it . . . King
Hussein received the
message before 10:30 the
Egyptians tried to navi-
gate the northern part of
the canal before freeing
them southwards as had
been agreed earlier
through UNTSO's good
offices.
Bull seems to have
mixed feelings about the
Israeli leaders with
whom he dealt. He de-
scribes Moshe Dayan as
being "always a
straightforward person
to deal with." Golda Meir
struck him as "a very im-
same morning (June 5)."
At 11:25, the Jordanians
opened fire.
At noon, both sides ag-
reed to a cease-fire, but
although the shooting
slackened it did not stop.
In all, three deadlines
were agreed that clay, but
were not respected.
Referring to the Jorda-
nian troops' seizure of
Government House, the
UN headquarters, Bull
said it was a military blun-
der and the Jordanians
should first have taken the
Israeli enclave . on Mount
Scopus. He suggests that
Israeli intelligence might
have had a hand in the
Jordanian mistake.
Although the writer's
sympathies tend to lie
with the Arabs, he
nonetheless confirms
that an agreement to free
the stranded vessels from
the Suez Canal early in
1968 failed when the

ZOA-Kfar Silver Graduates
Will Begin Own Settlement
ASHKELON, Israel —
A new settlement in the
central Golan Heights
will be established by
boys and girls of the 17th
graduating class of the
ZOA-Kfar Silver Agricul-
tural High School, a pro-
ject of the Zionist Or-
ganization of America.
To be called "Kesem
HaGolan," the new out-
post will be within the
framework of the Nahal,
the pioneer soldier farm-
ing unit of the Israel De-
fense Forces. Twenty-six
of the 85 graduates of the
school will form the nuc-
leus of the new settle-
ment.
Among those complet-
ing their studies at the
ZOA-founded youth and
educational center were
13 students graduating
from the Sylvia and Ale-
xander Hassan Technical
High School begun four
years ago.
Yaacov
Grauman,
chairman of the board of
Kfar Silver, who made the
announcement said that
work has begun on the
construction of a new 900
sq. m. (9,000 sq. ft.) build-

has shown little , or no un-
derstanding for the
Arabs of Palestine or for
the justice of their de-

technical school named in
honor of Sylvia and Ale-
xander Hassan, ZOA lead-
ers of Washington, D.C.
Dr. David Sha'ari of
Youth Aliyah called at-
tention to the important
role Kfar Silver has
played in absorbing im-
migrants and creating for
the newcomers an intro-
duction to Israel society,
"one that is useful in at-
tracting additional new-
comers."
Among the graduates
of the 17th graduating
class it was noted, there
are 15 students who im-
migrated during the past
four years to Israel and
whose absorption was
based on living and
studying at Kfar Silver.
These included nine from
the Soviet Union, two
from Latin America, and
four from North Africa.
The Kfar Silver Ag-
ricultural School is par-
tially financed by the
proceeds from the Zionist
Organization of Detroit's
annual Balfour Concert.
