WASHINGTON, (JTA) — High Administration sources denied a report that Prosident Kennedy had decided to "deter" White House efforts for Arab-Israel p(?ace.
Tht^e sources, close to Kennedy, said the reports were spread by a State Department taction seek¬ ing to placate tho. United Arab Republic at a time when other elements within the Department have lost patience with Nasser's support of pro-<Dommunist forces in thc C!ongo and elsewhere in Africa.
THE WHITE HOUSE has posi¬ tively made no decision to aban¬ don the objective of Aral>-Israel peace and Kennedy's position re¬ mains precisely as stated Itist August, sources said. They point¬ ed out that the President has so far had no opportunity to act on the Arab-Israel situation be¬ cause of more pressing crucial situations involving tho Cong;o, Cuba, Laos, delicate diplomacy with the USSR, and the missile gap program as woll as tho do¬ mestic   recession  issue.
While the Big Powers arc ma¬ neuvering at the United Nations on the alignment of Afro-Asian forces on tlie O>ngo crisis, allega¬ tions wore spread and "planted," sources said, without Kennedy's knowledge or authority, that the White House was abandoning plans to promote Arab-Israel peace. Sources familiar with tho weekend developments character¬ ized it a.s a "short-sighted" at- temi>t by some State Department elements lo propagandize Nasser.
