Sudanese President Jaa- far el Numairi flew to Cairo Tuesday to support Sadat and the information min- ister of Jordan issued a statement praising Sadat's Israel visit. It was also reported Wednesday that Egypt expelled three members of the PLO for anti-Sadat statements, and that Israel had reportedly softened its stand against the PLO in its talks with Sadat and would allow low-level PLO mem- Kissinger Barely Optimistic Over Sadat Israel Trip NEW YORK (JTA)—For- mer Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said that if Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Premier Menahem Begin are saying nothing more to each other in private than they said in their address in the Knesset Sunday, "then we will see a rapid worsening of the situation." Interviewed on NBC-TV following the speeches, Kis- singer outlined what he believed had to 'result from the Sadat visit. "The problem is to emerge from this meeting with a sense on both sides that they have made, maybe, some sacrifices, for the sake of peace, and a new relationship that opens a new era," he said. "Nobody should leave with a sense that he made a con- cession or that he gained a victory." He said if Sadat left Jerusalem' without having established a means of pro- ceeding toward a peace agreement at Geneva, the situation will worsen. Kissinger said he thought it was significant that Sadat in his Knesset speech did not mention the Palestine Liberation Organization and that in calling for a Pales- tine state. hers as part of the united Arab delegation at Geneva. The historic visit to Israel was greeted with enthusiasm in Western Europe, and report- ing in Eastern Europe. In France, however, most commentators expressed dissappointment that Sadat gave too much and Begin too little. It was also reported that France blocked a U.S. initiative in the European Common Market that would have endorsed the Sadat visit. The Belgian national news agency, Belga, reported that the French apparently feared angry reactions from the militant Arabs and also objected because the declaration was inspired by the U.S. Judaism Center at American U. WASHINGTON—The American University has announced the estab- lishment of a National Cen- ter for American Judaism at the university to be named for Abe and Irene Pollin of Washington. The center, believed to be the first dedicated to the study of American Jewry and the importance of American Jewish life in pol- itics, international affairs, business and the family, will be located in the Ameri- can University's new li brary, which is now under construction and expected to open in January, 1979. optimism broke into a national celebration the moment Anwar Sadat's plane touched down in Tel Aviv. The people of this cou- rageous little democracy gave their hearts to - the Egyptian President upon his arrival. At the King David Hotel in Jerusalem the chamber- maids, with tears in their eyes, joined Egyptian and Israeli security agents in applauding the TV set as Sadat stepped from his plane. Outside the hotel the Israeli and Egyptian flags flew together. It was impos- sible for our fifteen Mem- bers of the U.S. Congres- sional delegation not to be swept up by the emotion of the day. We were in Jerusalem at an historic moment. We were asked to remain at the King David and to be pre- sent at the Knesset by Prime Minister Begin. The King David was probably the safest place in the world between Nov. 18 and 21. Reservations were can- celled, guests (still smiling) were evicted as an incred- ible security machine descended upon the hotel. rity, Egyptian security and the U.S. Congressional Delegation. Young rifle-carrying Israeli soldiers guarded every balcony and corner of the building. Inside, secu- rity men from these two enemy countries met to work out arrangements. All of us ate together in the din- ing room. When Sadat arrived at the hotel from the airport, everyone from Israeli wait- resses to foreign policy makers stood together chan- ting, "Sadat, Sadat, Sadat, Sadat." Bells rang across the street for an hour. It collective courage and hard- ship of four wars in 30 years into one unbelievable out- pouring of love. Compared to Saturday's tumultuous welcome, the speeches at the Knesset on Sunday seemed almost anti- climatic and the Israeli press chided Sadat and desire for peace, one minute in Jerusalem this week would change that. The eager and hopeful Israeli eyes tell a story that books and museums cannot. Doi lyL-liosf;tal Sympathy FRUIT BASKETS BIG SELECTION!
