"hopefully" later to confer
with Premier Menahem
Begin of Israel.
Heading a delegation of
SCLC members sympathe-
tic to a Palestinian state,
Fuantroy and Lowery ap-
pear to have beaten Rev.
Jesse Jackson, head of Op-
eration PUSH, to the
Mideast. Jackson last week,
with the support of Rep.
Paul Findley (r-Ill.) met
Zehadi Labib Terzi, the
PLO observer at the United
Nations, in Findley's office
here and later said he was
going to meet with Arafat.
He also met with Israel
Ambassador Ephraim
Evron prior to meeting with
Terzi and asked the envoy to
arrange a meeting with Be-
gin. Evron said he would
transmit Jackson's request
to his government in
Jerusalem but emphasized
that Jackson was not to visit
there as a go-between for Is-
rael and the PLO.
Jackson's scheduled
Mideast visit appeared
uncertain following a re-
port in a Kuwaiti daily
newspaper, As Siyassah,
that outgoing U.S. Am-
bassador to the UN An-
drew Young, Arafat and
Jackson will participate
in a "political debate" in
Kuwait on the Palesti-
nian situation.
The newspaper did not
disclose the date of the de-
bate but said it would take
place "shortly" and that all
A*00
three would take part.
Young earlier had denied he
was to meet Arafat.
A spokesman for Faun-
troy, Eldridge Spearman,
told the Jewish Telegraphic
Agency that Fauntroy was
making the trip as chair-
man of the SCLC, and not as
the District of Columbia's
representative in Congress.
He is not going on his own;
he is not trying to conduct
foreign policy," Spearman _
said.
However, he said Faun-
troy will advocate that Is-
rael and the PLO "-stop the
fighting" and "recognize the
right of the other to exist."
Spearman added that Faun-
troy supports "self-
determination" for the
Palestinians and "human
rights" for them.
Asked whether Faun-
troy believes Jerusalem
should be Israel's capital,
Spearman replied he
thought Tel Aviv was the
capital. Later he said
Fauntroy "is not going to
tell Israel what should be
its capital."
Spearman said the SCLC
group is going to the
Mideast "in response to an
invitation from the PLO on
Aug. 22 and reaffirmed two
or three times since then."
While in Lebanon they
visited Arab refugee camps.
The idea for the visit,
Spearman noted, began
when the SCLC met with
Terzi in New York last
month.
Spearman denied any
Fauntroy-Lowery rivalry
with Jackson. "They are not
in conflict," he stated.
In a related development,
an organization known as
"The Committee on Pales-
tinian Human Rights" is
seeking visas for two PLO
members who have been re-
fused documentation to
come to a meeting here
Sept. 20-22. The State De-
partment has refused to
provide a visa for Abdul
Jawad Salah, a PLO official
in Beirut, while Israel has
refused a visa for Nablus-
Mayor Bassam Shaka, ac-
cording to department offi-
cials.

M.E. Diplomacy
NEW YORK — U.S. Am-
bassador to the UN Andrew
Young, while visiting Tan-
zania this week, urge
black African countries tu
re-establish ties with Israel

with apartheid, stating
flatly that he disagreed
