National Geographic Society
Agrees to M.E. Map Change

NEW YORK — The Na-
tional Geographic Society
has informed the American
Jewish Committee that it
has agreed to revise its re-
cently issued Middle East
map to include a clarifying
correction on the disputed
status of the West Bank and
Gaza suggested by Dr.
George E. Gruen, director
of Middle East Affairs for
the AJCommittee.
Dr. Gruen had written
the editor of the National
Geographic in September,
p
. sting that the 1978
_ s reference to "areas
occupied by Israel" left the
reader "with the mistaken
impression that there is no
juridical difference between
the status of Israeli-
occupied Sinai" and the
West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Dr. Gruen cited the histori-
cal and legal- background
demonstrating that the
1949 Armistice Demarca-
tion Lines in effect on June
4, 1967, were never re-
garded by the Arab states as
permanent political bound-
aries and merely reflected
, the military situation at the
end of the 1948 Arab-Israel
war, and that Jordan's
claim to the West Bank was
never internationally rec-
ognized.
Dr. Gruen pointed out
that the final boundaries

are to be decided in peace
negotiations between Israel
and its Arab neighbors.
"While I realize that a
map cannot detail the
political history of the
Middle East," Dr. Gruen
wrote, "it is important to
give the reader an indica-
tion of which areas are
and which are not in dis-
pute. You seem to be
aware of this in other
portions of your map
where you indicate with a
broken line and the
words boundary unde-
fined' that there are no
definitive borders be-
tween Saudi Arabia and
its southern and eastern
Arab neighbors. You
should be equally accu-
rate in dealing with the
unresolved border issues
in the Arab-Israeli con-
flict."

Dr. Gruen pointed out
that an earlier National
Geographic map, issued in
1968, had made it clear that
the West Bank and Gaza
Strip boundaries had not
been permanently fixed and
that in this respect the "na-
tional boundaries follow the
armistice lines of 1949 be-
tween Israel and the
neighboring Arab states.
They predate the Arab-
Israeli war of 1967." Dr.
Gruen strongly urged that a
similar suitable correction
be included in reprints of
the map.
Richard J. Darley, chief
cartographer of the Na-
tional Geographic Society,
in his letter of response,
thanked Dr. Gruen for his
suggestion and stated, "We
have decided to add the 'na-
tional boundaries' note
which we carried on our
previous maps to future re-
prints of this map."

YIPME Pickets
Redgrave Film

NEW YORK — The Van-
essa Redgrave film, "The
Palestinians," was picketed
at college campus showings
in New York and Detroit in
October by members of the
Youth Institute for Peace in
the Middle East.
The YIPME pickets
handed out leaflets about
Palestine, the Palestinians
and the Palestine Libera-
tion Organization.
The showing of the movie
at Wayne State University
in Detroit on Yom Kippur
prevented Jewish students
from joining the protest.
Non-JeWish YIPME mem-
bers did the picketing.
YIPME also picketed
howings of the film at For-
--clh a-m--and-Colum-bia U-ni-
ersity in New York.
