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 NOW - :OPEN: THE BAGEL BRUNCH STOP 6088 West Maple Road at Farmington West Bloomfield, Michigan 851-9666 — 851-9667 It is one of the finer stores in Michigan.

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.
