"We will try to under- stand the preoccupations and anxieties of Israel and hope they will accept that we in Britain and the Euro- pean Economic Community (EEC) are working in good faith for a lasting peace in the Middle East," he said. Referring to the close- ness of the Israeli elec- tion result, Hurd also ex- pressed the hope that the next government could pursue "A clear line of policy, and I expect that will happen." Speakingon the day after Britain assumed the six- month presidency of the EEC Hurd added that the 10-member countries would pursue the EEC peace in- itiative "without respite." Besides awaiting the out- come of the Israeli elections, it would await the evolution of the Reagan Administra- tion's Middle East policy, and make the EEC's policy "complementary" to that of the U.S. U.S. policy was "not yet fully defined" and Britain sought to keep "closely alongside the U.S.," he added. On the contentious issue of whether Carrington would meet Palestine' Lib- eration Organization Chairman Yasir Arafat, Hurd said emphatically that no meeting was planned. However, it re- mained a possibility within the framework of the Euro-Arab dialogue later in the year. PARK STORE ONLY! GOING OUT OF BUSINESS FINAL DAYS!

Earlier, he said that France will "multiply checks and controls to ensure that civilian reac-_ tors are not used for mili- tary purposes." Cheysson also said France will sell arms to Middle East countries, but not to Israel. He added that arms will not be sold to countries with totalitarian regimes or which are at war. As far as the Middle East is concerned, only the second restriction is applicable," he said. "As a consequence (of the re- striction) we shall not de- liver arms to Israel." Cheysson named Saudi Arabia, Iraq, the Persian Gulf states, Egypt and North Africa as countries to which France is prepared to sell weapons. Last week, he told the weekly Le Nouvel Obser- vateur that arms exports are "vital for our industry" and that 300,000 people are directly employed by it. He said that the export of weapons is essential to French industry and to the country's defense. Cheysson reiterated France's recognition of the Palestine Liberation Organization as "one of the representatives of the Palestinian people," saying that the Palestinians do not have, under current condi- tions, the possibility to democratically chose their representatives. He said the PLO might emerge as the sole Pales- tinian representative "when conditions be- come adapted to their free, democratic choice." French officials refused to comment on Cheysson's dec- laration. Only State Minis- ter for Foreign Trade, Michel Jobert, confirmed Paris' readiness to replace the Iraqi reactor "on certain conditions and if Iraq makes the demand." * * * PARIS (JTA) — Foreign Minister Claude Cheysson conferred with Farouk Kaddoumi, foreign affairs spokesman of the Palestine Liberation Organization. It was the new French Ad- ministration's first meeting with a ranking PLO official. French officials stressed that Kaddoumi was in Paris on a "private trip" and noted that President Francois Mitterrand has made it clear that France does not recognize the -PLO as the sole representative of the Palestinian people. Meanwhile, Swiss Foreign Minister Pierre Auber has invited Kad- doumi to pay an official visit to Switzerland this month. Foreign Minister spokes- men refused to disclose the exact date for "reasons of se- curity."

A Jerusalem district court agreed Tuesday to delay Flatto's prison term until the Supreme Court rules on his appeal against the lower court's verdict. The Supreme Court is not expected to review the case for several months because of its backlog of work. The district attorney did not oppose the delay. The court denied a prosecution request for an injunction to prevent Flatto from leaving the country. The former MK, a multi-millionaire, was ordered to post bail of 500,000 Shekels (about $50,000).
