Dr. Joseph Shofmann, of Likud, urged the E tive to instruct lann and Philip Klutznick, chairman of the government board of the WJC and a former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, to "dis- continue the shameful contacts with the Egyp- -tian Ambassador to Washington" Ashraf . Ghorbal. Shofmann claimed that Premier ,Yitzhak Rabin had disav- owed any knowledge of such contacts and that they were totally denied .)Dy Egyptian officials. But Goldmann told the Executive that he had consulted Rabin about the contacts and that the Premier welcomed the idea and in_ factdiscussed the composition of the WJC delegation. It would include Klutznick, Rabbi Alexander Schindler, chairman of the Confer- ence of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations; Lord Fisher, president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews; and Baron Guy de Rothschild of France. Goldmann said that Rabin lacked knowledge only of technical contacts with Egyptians to agree to a date. He said the WJC delegation would go to Is- rael for consultations be- fore proceeding to Egypt.

He said he ex- pected a difficult year i the ahead for Israel in political sphere. But he was optimistic that there is, for the first time, a real chance for a Middle East settlement. It was reported in Bonn that West German Foreign Minister Hans- Dietrich Genscher is launching a major bid to involve Western Europe in the search for a Mideast peace solution. . In the last week of 1976 Genscher surprised polit- ieal observers by unex- pectedly calling separate talks with the ambas- sadors of Israel, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt and Syria.

Government sources hinted that Genscher would unveil suggestions for a positive Mideast peace role for the European Economic Community (EEC) when the Community's minis- ters meet in London this month. - The sources stressed that any EEC contribu- tion would have to be made after prior consul- tation — and in coordina- tion — with the U.S. gov- ernment.

The 400-ton former Dutch coaster which flies the Panamanian flag was escorted through the canal by Egyptian war- ships, butwas otherwise undisturbed. e Egyptians did not mit Nathan to dis- tribute candy and flowers to the children of Port Said at the Mediterra- nean entrance of the canal. He gave these out instead to the youngsters of Eilat who joined Mayor G. Katz, town council members and citizens of Eilat in an enthusiastic welcome for the peace shop. Nathan told newsmen that permission to use the canal represented a per- sonal visiting card of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat that would gain him admittance to any Arab state. Nathan cabled King Hussein of Jordan, for permission to take his ship to the Port of Aqaba adjoining Eilat. He also said he planned to make a peace flight to Damascus as . he did to Egypt twice after the Six-Day War. On both those occasions, Nathan was uncere- moneously expelled, but he is convinced that the climate has changed. He said he planned to sail back to the Mediter- ranean via the Suez Canal this week and re- sume his peace broad- casts to the Middle East from International waters. While Nathan's trip through the Suez Canal may have been a personal triumph it set no political precedent. Third-flag ships plying to and from Israel have been permitted to use the canal _under terms of the 1974 second Sinai agree- ment between Israel and Egypt. Israel-Flag ships are still barred.
