One d these com¬ mercial obligations, as Is¬ rael sees It; is tie agree-- ment for sale d 50 Mirage Jets paid for by Israel and emhairgoed by Gen de Gaulle. : ^ttrmer Premier Pompi¬ dou pleclged in a radio In¬ terview tbat if he~ was elect¬ ed next month, Iw 'would sponsor foreign policy chaiiges but he refiised to spell out his Ideas for such changes.

He said Is¬ rael's; right to exist like "all other countries" must be assured within reccigni- zed lioundaries and that a solution to the Arab refligee problem must be found. But, in contrast to policy stands during Gen. de Gaulle's re¬ gime, M. Pompidou did not mention the "necessily" for Isrjaeli withdrawal from the occupied territiarles. He in¬ sisted that neither Israelnor the Arab states alone could solve tbe; refugee problem, agoal whl(!h be saidcooldbe sought only in copijunction witb the m^or powers.

JERUSALEM,, (JTA)—Di¬ plomatic sources linked plans, for Premier Golda ' Meir tovlsitthe UnitedStates within thenextfew weeks with growing, concern here that there may be some erosion of the hitherto warmly pro- Israel position otthe United States In tts bUateral talks in WasUi«ton with the So¬ viet Union. The American EmbasEO^ hi Tiel Aviv was reported today to be in com¬ munication withthe state De¬ partment on the timetable and schedule tat thepropos- ed visit.
The concern over possible erosion of the American position stems from a mount¬ ing realization here tbat the Israeli position is not fully understood abroad and that without a tUll appreciation of the situationthat confront¬ ed Israel In May, 1967, for¬ eign powers andtheir states¬ men cannot fiilly understand the leasons for Israel's un- ylel^Bng demands today on direct negotiations with the Arabs for peace and secure and agreed borders before Israel will cede any military or trading advantage it won by the occupation of terri¬ tories hi the Six-Day War.
One reason for Mrs. Meir's visit tothe U.S. would be to explain tiese reasons to President Nixon. For the same reason, Israel's diplo¬ matic representatives abroad will be faistructed to stress the events precedliig the Six-Day War hi 1967, reminding foreign statesmen ot the massfaig ct the Arab armies on Israel's borders, the dlosure ot the Strait ot Tiran and Israel's utter Iso¬ lation when no power or com¬ bination ot powers came to its help or even prcmilsed to do so within a reasonable time.
Dr. PoweU found that among religious, as dIstUlet firom racial ties, Judasim "stands alone as a maJOi^ negative factor in tbe lives of American business exe¬ cutives," an "almost iiisur> mountaUe barrier" to slgnl-" ficant promotion becausetbe dominant group menibers "naturally turn to the ranks ot those they know." Dr. Por well interviewed 825 uppet and middle level West Coast corporate executives, as well as community and bushiess leaders belonging to major social clubs inthe two cities. He reported that three outcit four persons interviewed stressed the desh-abillty ot membership in social clubs and the disqualification ior promotion ot tii^os^ who did„ not.,bBlo»«. ^H«^;-*f6!<^ "-aiC^A- 'complicating factor the tuA^ that American Jews seek to achieve "total acceptance in¬ to the dominant. American society without the loss at their own personal identity or their viay d lilie" as Jews. Almost half of tie in¬ terviewed executives feltthat Jews were subject to parti¬ cular barriers In social ties which negatively affected their promotability . The (Continued on Page 10) -
Ice Melts In French Relations
PARIS, (JTA) - A malor break-through in the firosty Franco-Israel relation Which odsted under former President Charles de Gaulle was seen this week in tie announcement that Israelis will attend the May 29 in- ternational air showatBour- get airport in Paris.

Earlier tids year, tbe French. Defense Ministiy an¬ nounced France bad decided against inviting delegations from Mideast countries.
