AmhM U.N.-WorldPeace; AlternativCjWorld Annihilation UNITED NATIONS, (WUP)—As the General Assembly opened its 25th session, once again on tbe eve of the High Holy Day season, delegates—deeply disturbed by the seemingly unending war iii Vietnam and more so by the escalating crisis in the Middle East—took to their seats in the huge Hall of Peace much troubled and seized with misgivings as to what the future holds. There was some consolation in the fact that a Norwegian', Edvard Hambro, had moved into the Presidency df this historic 25th session. A Scandinavian can be counted on being fair and correct— and for Israel, faced .with constant onslaughts of one- sidedness, this bodes well. And, despite the hostility shown by some members of the Security Council and the Soviet-Arab blocs, the ever- alert Israeli delegation Here'- has fared not bad at all in its manifold participations and certainly in its brilliant counter moves against the perennial enemies. " ' It is well, therefore, during this meditative season to take some' stodk of this first truly functioning global body striving to find peace and unity among all peoples- even as babes in the Ayoods. The effort, nonetheless, is there. -Your correspondent is moved to repeat what he has pointed out' on several previous occasions and that is—whatever skeptics and: ' bigots might say in their ' criticism of the world organization, one thing even they cannot deny, namely, that this Planet of ours and everydiing man has built through the ages could already have been a scor¬ ched heap of desolation with little life left anywhere had it not been for the presence on Manhattan Island of this "Parliament of Man" where at least talks and ballots have replaced guns and bullets. True, sparks of fire which could well have ignited the fuse into a global con- flaKralion have been plen¬ tiful around thc^world since the end of the Hitlerian holocaust. To name a few- all of which were perilously close to a world war—the ' Congo, the >IVliddle East, Korea, Berlin,, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Cyprus, Vietnam and. Kash¬ mir. UN mediation and intervention—directly or indirectly—succeeded at least in smothering these sparks from spreading. Mistrust and misun¬ derstandings, jealousies and hatreds, may still enflame these sparks. What is wanted here at the UN is supcr-'statesmanshlp.

There are still enough 'sober and honest voices here in this "Parliament" and 'these voices, in addition to that of the mighty tekiah of Tekoah, are heard and the impact is felt.

And in looking for ways to ease man's struggles, we are more likely to suggest what others might or should do. Jewish tradition teaches that the powej^ to do good or evills in our own hands, and the season of the Jewish High Holy Days holds a meaningful leSson for men of all faiths. At this time we are urged to look inward, to examine our own lives and to consider what each of us can do for the betterment of mankind. These days of atonement prod us to an awareness of man'sown worth and dignity, and of the divine and human potentialities within each of us. They are days of great hope, for the driving force of man's freedom is in his ability to look inward, appraise his limitations, and seek means to ., widen his horizons. My thoughts are with you as you begin these days of worship and I send my warmest wishes to all Americans of the Jewish faith for a New Year of peace and happiness. Shanah Tovah! RICHARD M. NIXON The World's Week LONDON (WNS)-Shlomo Vider, the El Al steward wounded in an aborted attempt to hijack an El Al plane last month, flew home-to Israel under strict security precautions'after he was released from a London Hospital. The" 39-year-old steward received five-bullet" wounds but left London after'sbme were removed because he was anxious to return iiibihe. He will receive further treatment in Israel. ¦ NEW YORK (WNS)-'niirty-two girls from the United States and Canada have left for Isrsiel to pursue Jewish studies under a program sponsored by the Torah Education Department of the Jewish Agency at the Gold College for Women in Jerusalem. The study period at college range ^rom six inonths to two years, after which the girls will return home for continued study in Jewish education and community work. 'NEW York (WNS)-Max M.

Both peoples have ex¬ pressed sympathy for the destruction and death that ihey know is taking place just a few miles away across the low; muddy river. But theOiimilarity of views ends tliere^ Fo^lip mass of Arabs in the occupied lands, the Jordanian fighting often means the wounding and death of relatives and _ friends,- either members of the terrorist groups opposing King Hussein's Army or residents of any of the score of Jordanian towns and villages caught in the warfare. Residents of the West iBank are walking around with portable radios held to their ears listenirig to the news broadcasts from a variety of Arab Stations. Tlie scene is very similar to what went on in'Israel before and during the Six-Day War and which took place when news spread of Israeli strikes after the war. During those times, it was Israelis listening for the latest fighting news-especially casualty reports. West Bank Arabs, when questioned, note that their fate is being played out without.their participation- and no matter what the end is, they will not be a gainer. These Arabs iall^^nsider themselves Palestinians and, they said that if King Hussein wins, he will ..be ¦ stronger in liis rule and less concerned for the welfare or fate of the Arabs who op¬ posed his rule. The average man in the street-often found' sitting in a cafe' drinking coffee and listening to a radio-noted the long history of anti-Jordanian activities in the West Bank during the 20 years that Amman ruled the area. • If the guerrillas win, as seems unlikely now, these ' Arabs reason that, terrorist activities in the occupied lands will be increased and this will mean heavier and more direct Israeli efforts to stop the commandos. Their lives now, while not to their liking. politically, involves very, little direct Israeli intervention.
