Friday, April 1, 1966 P*g9 Mr* THE SOBTIIIN ISRAELITE BEHIND UN SCENES by David Horowitz Abie [\allian at United jNalions UNITED NATIONS (WUP) - The indomitable Abie Nathan, Israel’s one-man “peace mission” to the United Arab Ilepubic, “in vaded” this World Parliament of Peace on the second day of his U. S. visit, Thursday, March 24, and duplicated the friendly re ception he received in the land of Nassar. Although the handsome, well- dressed flier-businessman failed in his ambitious goal to see Sec retary-General U Thant, he met with a friendly and sympathetic UN press corps and with sustain ed enthusiasm of the many mem bers of the Secretariat and vis itors who crowd the corridors here during the luncheon hour. Arriving at the UN as the guest of your correspondent, Abie—ut terly sincere and earnest — felt that he had an important message for the Secretary-General, name ly, to express his appreciation of the successful manner in which the UN had staved off war in the Middle East, but also to voice his deep disappointment that the world organization had done practically nothing to convert the Israel-Arab Armistice agreements into permanent peace settlements. The 39-year-old flier pointed to the success Premier Kosygan This picture stands alone as the greatest of all spectacles!

He be lieved a similar effort should be made by U Thant or some Wes tern leader on behalf of Israel and the Arab States He also cited the recent establishment of full diplomatic relations between Is rael and West Germany as proving that peace between two former enemies is not an impos sibility. His experiences in Egypt, he said, convinced him that the Arab masses, as distinct from their leaders, want peace. A spokesman of the Secretary- General reported to your corres pondent that he thought Abie might be received by Dr. Ralph Bundle, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize for his diplomacy in halting the Arab-Israeli war in 1948. However, when approached for an appointment. Bundle ex pressed surprise and bowed out. From Abie Nathan’s reports, it appears that Dr. Bundle, apprised in advance of the flight, had not onlv counselled Abie against making it. He had also termed it illegal and suicidal. This, appar ently is the reason—justified or not—why he did not see h ; s way clear to welcome the lone Middle East peace crusader in a official or unofficial capacity. Many here at the UN, however, felt that—in view of Abie's suc cessful! flight with the resultant favorable reactions throughout the world—at least Dr. Bundle, if not U. Thant, should have wel comed him with open arms. Of course, the Secretary-Gen eral's door is, in principle, still open. The hesitancy of the top Secretariat to become involved, some observers indicated, is un derstandable in view of Abie's own divulged plans to make sim ilar peace initiatives in Lebanon and Tunisia, and to make one more effort to see Pres dent De Gaulle who had already turned him down. Apparently, the UN could not even remotely become an outright backer of h s singular and s ngle-handed mission. Despite this fact, the United Nations did give Abie Nathan at least some “recognition.” William P, well, chief press officer here, was instructed to give him an official welcome. Mr. Powell re ceived him warmly in his office and inquired about his peace mission and future plans. Later, following a luncheon in the Delegates Dining Room, this writer arranged a press confer ence for the “Salom 1" flier dur ing which correspondents soon resolved the mystery why Israel's do-dare, self-appointed emissary had so greatly charmed the UAR authorities into a friendly recep tion. Abie Nathan possesses a charm and winning personality which many a diplomat might well envy. Not only that—he is highly intelligent and utterly sin cere. Of this there can be no doubt. He was born in Persia but lived his boyhood days in India. He migrated to Israel in 1948 — the year of Independence.
