IN BRIEF U.S., U.K. Talk About Mideast Washington (JTA) — President Reagan and British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher agreed during a White House meeting last week that an international conference on the Middle East would not be permitted to impose a solution or veto agreements reached between Israel and the Arab countries. The two also agreed that only direct negotiations could bring about a settlement to the Arab-Israel conflict, Thatcher said in her depar- ture statement after the two- hour meeting. Thatcher met with Reagan, during her one-day visit to Washington, after discussing the possibility of an interna- tional conference recently with Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres and King Hus- sein of Jordan. While the U.S. has been ad- vocating the need to consider if an international conference could be set up that would lead to direct negotiations, Britain and the other mem- bers of the European Com- munity have more directly urged such a conference. Israeli Envoy Arrives In U.S. Washington (JTA) — Moshe Arad, Israel's new Ambassador to the United States, arrived in Washington last week amid the growing controversy over complaints by Palestinian and Black Americans that they have been experiencing difficulties in entering Israel. State Department spokes- man Charles Redman said that another expression of "serious concern" regarding these complaints will be made to the Israel Embassy here. However, the complaint will not be made to Arad, since he does not officially take up his post until he presents his credentials to President Reagan sometime soon. Arad, who comes to the U.S. from Mexico where he was the Israeli envoy, paid a courtesy call on Richard Murphy, Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern and South Asian Affairs Thursday. The 52-year-old career diplomat was appointed Am- bassador after a six-month dispute between Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir and Foreign Minister Shimon Peres about who should replace Ambassador Meir Rosenne, who ended his four- year tour of duty in Washing- ton recently. Redman said that about 40 Arab Americans and 35 Black Americans had com- plained that they were denied entry or had their passports confiscated this summer. Blacks have been turned away because of suspicion that they are Black Hebrews, according to Israeli spokes- men. Redman would not con- firm reports that the U.S. is threatening to issue a travel advisory warning Palestinian and Black Americans that they might face harassment in going to Israel. U.S. Cancels China Exhibit Washington (JTA) — The United States last week cancelled a National Portrait Gallery exhibition to China because the Chinese govern- ment refused to show port- raits of former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir and Col. Douglas MacArthur. The two portraits, explains a Chinese official in a letter to the National Portrait Gallery, "involve politically sensitive questions, which are not on- ly against the present policy of China but also involved in the relations with the third countries." Although Chinese officials have refused to state their specific objection to the Meir portrait, it is believed to be based on their desire not to anger Arab countries. The ob- jection to the MacArthur por- trait apparently stems from the General's role as com- mander of U.S. forces in the Korean War. • B100111 SO6 • Registered Electrologists • Come and let us remove your unwanted hair problem and improve your appearance.
