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. * * * For 130 years Detroiters have kept their savings with DETROITBANK Corporation Banks.
