BEHIND NN SCENES
?•
Battle of
united Rations (WUP) —
Through the smog and thick of
verbal battle that raged in the
mighty General Assembly — in
which 109 statesmen participated
—there emerged at long last a
ray of light, only a ray, of what
this 22nd session is all ubout ns
far as the Middle Blast is/Wncero-
ed.
Strewn in the wreckage of the
war were"SH the pillars of a 19-
year post called the “Armistice
and Truce lines’’ which toppled
like brides without straw before
the explosive onrush of battle.
Whet about these lines? Are
they still in force, that is, legally?
Geographically, they can be found
only on the field maps of the
UN observers, and these are the
lines to which the Arabs now in
sist Israeli forces must withdraw.
They want the “legal” fact trans
formed into a physical reality.
Here in this highest world
forum, Foreign Minister Abba
Eban has presented Israel’3 view
on that subject. He has, in effect,
told the Arabs, with the whole
world listening in, that time and
victory have eroded their “legal”
fact into a legal fiction. “These
agreements oeased effectively to
exist,” he declared, “the very
mement when belligerent lights
were asserted . . . They cannot
be rebuilt.”
These words fell harshly — as
they were meant to fall—on the
ears of the Arabs, and perhaps
also on the ears of the entire
Assembly since, in his major re
port to the session, Secretary-
General U Thant had stated that
these agreements continued to
exist and remained valid and tha*.
they oould not be breached ex-
oept by the consent of the two
parties.
Be that as it may, thi3 issue,
which is soon to be fought out,

is academic in light of the higher
grounds of the verbal battle—the
occupation of Arab territoiy, most
of which originally constituted
historic Israel, by Israeli forces.
On this quest!cm, the Arab cry
is “withdraw,” and they are ap
parently prepared to make some
concessions in order to achieve a
resolution embodying this man
date.
Such a demand con rest only
on a supposition that Israel holds
such territory by oon^uest, that
is, by “aggression” — a charge
made by all the Arabs in their
attempt to establish Israel’s guilt
in the war. In the face of this
strategy, an indignant Eban hurl
ed in their teeth stinging words
of reproach which hit them hard
and which made it orystal-clear
to all present who the real ag
gressors were in this life-and-
death struggle.
In the face of Eban’s mighty
challenge, the Arabs are now try
ing to veer their strategy from
an attempt to secure a moral vic
tory in the Assembly to obtaining
a ruling on principles from the
Security Council. Here they may
meet with partial success. Israel’s
defense in this organ is expected
to be U. S. Ambassador Arthur
Goldberg along with whatever
delegations the U. S. can muster.
But even here, in the fifteen-
member Council, there seems to
be little hope for a solution m
the face of Arab intransigence.
Brazil, which is a member of
the Security Council, has been
working behind the scenes in an
attempt to get the Arabs and the
Israelis to accept certain basic
principles of compromise which
might embody a resolution in the
Council. In this endeavor, the
Brazilian Ambassador has sub
mitted an aide memoire, marked
secret, to bath sides. In essence,
it goes only one or two steps
further in Israel’s behalf than the
proposal made by President Tito
Neither the Israelis nor the Arabs
have shown any enthusiasm for
it.
As things stand, the Middle
East remains a dilemma which
has the delegations bewildered
as to what steps to take.
Israel’s position is simple and
clear: “Direct negotiations. Until
the Arab3 accept, we will not
move an inch from the cease-lire
lines.”
The Arab stand is also clear:
“No direct negotiations; Israel
must withdraw to the pre-June 5
Armistice lines.”
In the face of these diamet
rically-opposed positions, the UN
is trying to find a middle-ground
formula this Succot, 5728.
We stand In the prophetic Valley
of Confusion!

Body Urges Support
Of Negro Equality
NEW YORK (JTA)— Jewish
support for ‘Tull equality” for
Negroes, despite anti-Semitism
voiced recently by “Black dem
agogues,” has been urged by the
National Community Relations
Advisory Council. The Council is
the coordinating body of nine na
tional Jewish agencies and 80
local Jewish community councils
concerned with interracial and
interreligious problems.
The directive declared that its
member agencies have a “continu
ing obligation” to interpret and to
combat anti-Semitism among
Negroes. It also warned against
mistaking “legitimate protest” by
Negroes for anti-Semitism, and
against “exaggerating the true di
mensions” of anti-Jewish expres
sions that may arise

United Jerusalem
JERUSALEM (JTA)— United
Jerusalem will be the focal point

celebrations of Israel’s independ
ence with a full scale military
parade and restoration of the 700-
year-old Ram ban (Rabbi Moshe

The announcement of plans for
Israel’s 20th Anniversary Year,
which will be officially inaugu
rated by President Shazar next
Sunday, was made by Dr. Jacob
Hertzog, chairman of the Govern
ment Committee on Celebrations.
He said that emphasis will be on

munities all over the world and
on the impact of the Six-Day
War.
The projected military parade
in Jerusalem on Independence
Day will mark the first time that
Israel displays its full armed
might in its capital city. Until
this year, armistice regulations
limited the number and type of
weapons that could be p>araded in
Jerusalem.
