the U.S. at the ministerial
level. He said that Herzog
showed the text of the
draft to U.S. Ambassador
William Scranton who
"praised the initiative and
I believe, reported to
Washington."
Reacting to news re-
ports from Washington,
Allon said he did not know
if Secretary- of State
Henry A. Kissinger was
disappointed by Israel's
move. "If Kissinger is
angry, then I am sorry,
but I don't change my
mind," Allon said. He said
he was confident that if
the resolution had been
allowed to remain intact,
without pro-Arab
amendments, the U.S.
would/have voted for it.
The resolution is be-
lieved to be the first ever
initiated by Israel in the
General Assembly. It
calls for resumption of
the Geneva conference
without pre-conditions
and with the participa-
tion of the original in-
vitees. It makes no men-
tion of the PLO.
The amendments of-
fered by pro-Arab states
call for PLO participation
in accordance with Gen-
eral Assembly Resolution
337 adopted last Nov. 10.
Israel called for resump-
tion of the Geneva con-
ference on the basis of Se-
curity Council Reso-
lutions 242 and 338. The
amendments, it was said

JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Israel's maintenance of
the freedom of speech and
thought despite wars and
tension can serve as a les-
son to countries in South
America, Peruvian au-
thor Mario Vargas Llosa
said upon receiving a He
brew University honor=
ary fellowship last week.
Llosa is currently a vis-
iting lecturer at the uni-
versity, as guest of the
Institute of Cultural Re-
lations between Israel,
Latin America, Spain and
Portugal.
Llosa said that he had
traveled widely in the
world, but no experience
had been so rich and re-
warding as his stay in Is-
rael. He added, intellec-
tuals have an important
task to perform as a
bridge- between South
America and Israel.

here, would serve only
Arab interests and would
not encourage resump-
tion of the Geneva con-
ference.
The Israeli initiative
originated with Allon as a
response to the Arab
peace offensive. Allon
realized the complica-
tions involved in reaching
a decision when the Gen-
eral Assembly sums up its
Middle East debate this
week and decided that Is-
rael would issue a "simple
and clear" call for re-
sumption of the Geneva
peace talks in their origi-
nal forth, sources said.
Accordingly, he confer-
red by telephone with
Ambassador Herzog and
afterwards drafted the
proposal which was pre-
sented to Premier Yit-
zhak Rabin. Friendly
countries were inforrried
of the impending move
and asked to support it.
Last week, at the open-
ing of the Mideast debate,
in the UN, Herzog de-
scribed the proceedings
as another "fruitless bar-
ren" discussion that will
serve no other purpose
than "satisfying the
whims of the few Arab
politicians who want to
score politically regard-
less of the effects the de-
bate- may have in the
Mideast."
In other actions at the
UN, Secretary-General
Kurt Waldheim was
elected to a second term
of five years, and a West
German resolution that
would outlaw holding
hostages by terrorists
seemed likely to be with-
drawn because of Arab
opposition.
Libya, supported by
other Afro-Arab coun-
tries, is seeking to make
the measure applicable
only when "innocent"
hostages are involved.
