out a naval blockade of
south Lebanese ports.
What Israel had done, he
stressed, was increase its
naval patrols to prevent
the landing of terrorists
and arms on the Israeli
coast.
Reports coming over
Israel's state television
Monday said, however,
that Israeli patrol boats
were blockading the
Lebanese coast and seiz-
ing weapons.
Military spokesmen
have acknowledged that
some boats bound for

Lebanon had been stop-
ped by Israeli patrol ves-
sels, but they said the in-
cidents occurred inside
Israeli territorial waters.
The television report
used a map to illustrate the
various routes used by the
gun runners. It did not
pinpoint the limits of the
Israeli patrols but said
searches took place "out-
side" Lebanion's coastal
waters.
Peres' explanation was
reportedly also given to
Washington after the Un-
ited States had asked

what the Israeli navy was
doing off the coast of
Lebanon. The American
query was in response to
a note from the Soviet
Union that made it clear
to Washington that the
USSR will not stand for a
blockade of Lebanon bY
anyone.
American and Soviet
sources, who confirmed
that the Soviets had sent
the note, said that Mos-
cow did not make • any
threat against Israel.
The Soviet action is be-
lieved to be a response to
a call for aid from the
Palestine _Liberation or-
ganization which is suf-
fering from a lack of
supplies, allegedly be-
cause of an Israeli naval
blockade. It was learned_
that PLO leader Yasir
Arafat may go to Moscow
soon to plead for material
aid for his organization.
The Soviets while ap-
pearing to aid the PLO
with its note to
Washington, are also pour-
ing arms into Syria whose
troops are fighting the
PLO in Lebanon. Syria is
known to be getting new
and sophisticated arms
from the USSR, such as
the latest Soviet tanks,
airplanes and SCUD
surface-to-surface mis-
siles.
Israeli sources note
that the Soviet Union
faces a dilemma over the
Lebanese conflict. The
USSR does not want a
break with Syria in which
she has invested so much.
At the same time, it is try-
ing to keep its obligations
to the PLO since it has
given that organization
its support.
On the naval patrols,
Israeli sources noted that
Israel was preventing
any terrorist penetration
from the sea the same
way it tries to prevent
them by land. There was
no question of preventing
access to Lebanon and
any ship that had been
stopped by Israeli patrol
boats was allowed to pro-
ceed to its destination.
Israeli sources have
indicated that since June
1 the Israeli navy has
stopped six vessels sail-
ing to or from Lebanese
ports. These boats either
sent distress signals, had
entered Israeli waters or
were checked to make
certain they did not con-
tain terrorists heading
for Issrael.
Meanwhile, Arabs in
several West Bank cities
responded to the capture
by Lebanese Christians of
the Palestinian Tal Zaatar
camp by staging stormy
demonstrations against
Syria. Some of the de-
monstrators in Nablus,
Tulkarem and nearby An-
bata tore up pictures of
Syrian President Hafez
Assad and burned the
pieces,
It was learned that
Egypt refused to allow
some 150 refugees from
Lebanon to enter
Alexandria and forced
the Turkish freighter
that brought them to sail
back to the Lebanese port
of Sidon.
The navy stopped the

ship because it had de-
viated from its scheduled
course which was to take
the refugees to Alexan-
dria and then go t;) Israel
for a consignme -ni of fod-
der to Cyprus.
In Washington, Sec-
retary of State Henry A.
Kissinger's suggestion
that "all parties meet in
a round-table conference
to try to solve the prob-
lems of Lebanon does not
include the Palestine
Liberation Organization,
the State Department
said.
Responding to ques-
tions for clarification of
the Secretary's idea in a
news conference at The
Hague, State Department
spokesman Frederick
Brown said "all parties"
referred to the Lebanese
and that "the Palesti-
nians" were not included
among them.
Brown, however, re-
fused to respond specifi-
cally to whether the de-
partment continues to
regard the PLO as "a ter-
rorist organization," say-
ing that the U.S. record of
its views about the PLO
has been presented.

Band from Israel
Completes Tour

WASHINGTON (JTA) —
Forty-six teenage musicians
from Israel delighted
several thousand tourists
and office workers on their
lunch hour today with a
potpourri of patriotic
marches and classical and
whimsical orchestral pieces.
The band from Kiryat
Ono, a Tel Aviv suburb,
played for more than an
hour on the Elipse while the
appreciative tourists — who
gave prolonged applause
after each song — waited
for admittance to the White
House. National Park of-
ficials described the
orchestra as one of the out-
standing groups to play
there this summer.
The youngsters, who
during their five-week
tour of America won the
highest award in an inter-
national youth band com-
petition in North Dakota,
were welcomed to
Washington by David
Lissy, associate director of
the White House Domestic
Council
Lissy greeted the group in
Hebrew and told them he
had visited Israel when he
was a teenager and "would
never forget it." He
presented the band with a
special Presidential citation
for its participation in the
U.S. Bicentennial celebra-
tion.
