THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS 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.

"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."

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. Friday, November 3, 1918 1 FOUNDERS David B.
