JERUSALEM (WNS)- Israel has held off naming its ' representative to peace discussions under the auspices of United Nations Mideast peace en voy Gunnar V. Jarring because of jts cp;icern over Egypt's violation of the cease-fire agreement.
Dr. Jarring has been pressing Israel .to name its reprieseiitative- and tor all sides to agree on a site for talks. Egypt and Jordan have designated their UN Ambassadors as their negotiat6rs and have declared that th^ UN was the site they favored.
Israel at one point was considering Foreign Minister Abba Eban as its representative and was inclined to go along with the
UN as thesite even though its preference was d location closer to the Mideast such as Cypress Wiere Dr. Jarring had a headquarters. ,
The Jordanian and Egyptian government have declared in statements released at the UN in ht- terviews of top officials in Amman and Cairo that complete Israeli withdrawal was the basic step to peace. But the peace with Israel eriyisibned by both Arab nations was a settlement without a formal treaty signed with Israel.
Israeli F^emier Meir has declared in debates in the Knesset that : Israel's agreertient to the cease-fire and the peace discussions didn't include any con¬ cessions to the Arabs.   The
government's .basic demands, she~ said, con- ,tinued to enter on a peace treaty With secured and recognized boundaries- to which Israeli forces would move after the ajgreement went into effect.    ; ;'
llie Israeli leader said that its position contained in clarifications to the U.S. would guide its represen¬ tatives and added that the government "has not yet drawn any peace borders." Israeli ?officials, for the most pkrt, are accepting at face value an explanation that Dr. Jarring's letter to the ON afHrmihg resump¬ tion of his peace effort was limited to the basic Anierican plan announced by U.S. Secretary of State

JERUSALEM (WNS)-The cease-fire- along the Suez Canal may break down less than two weeks after it went intd effect as a result of Egypt's deployment of additional SAM antiaircraft missiles in. the waterway area and Israel's emphatic demand that the Russian- made weapons be with¬ drawn.
Israel has specifically called on the United States to act to 'have the SAMs removed from the area. Israeli pressure on Washington denotes the great responsibility! tttat the U.S. has in the matter as a result of its proposal of the cease-fire and assurances to both sides that there wouldn't be any change in the military, strength of either .side along the canal diaing'the 90 days the cease¬ fire was in effect. $:
Defense Minister Moshe Dayan dedared that Israel "regards tfie Americans as more than mediators. Tliey carry a heavy responsibility because they offered
there.
Tlie Israeli reports on the SAM'S stated that. the missiles had been installed shortly after the cease-fire wentlnto effect. The missile batteries are located 12 to 18 miles west of the canal, within the 32 mile cease-fire zone north of the Cairo-Suez road and between Ismaiiia and the Nile Delta. TJiisarea in the nbrthern part of the waterway had been heavily attacked by.the Isareli Air Force before the cej|se-fire because it contained numerous Arab militar^y bases.   "
Gen. Dayan, in demanding American action on the matter, disclosed the terms of the cease-fire that had been subscribed to by both Israel and Egypt. The agreement's key provisions %erethe prohibition of the intrpdiictibn of military equipment into the cease-fire
agreement on the Middle East cease-fire and stressed that the standstill had Soviet consent,",,;
Israel has presented aerial reconnaissance photos of the new SAM missiles and reports from Washington indicated that the evidence was being studied by the American Government, Israel's demand for U.S. action was also being considered by Washington, officials. Any AnjericatiiiSpproach" to the Russians would have to be made in Moscow, however, because the top Soviet of¬ ficials ar.e on home leave
zone and the pledge  that 03? neither side would penetrate   ^' or fire across the canal. ¦^.. It provided also for the thiss exact time for^e start of the
cease-fire, the right to call on the United Nations. Truce
Supervision Organization to investigate violations, ap¬ plication of the Geneva Convention on the treatment of prisoners and the policing of agreement by each side - to a point 6^2 miltes away from the canaT. Tlie latter means that Israeli recon- . naissance jets can fly only up to that point in taking photos pf the Egyptian' side of the waterway.
Israel's Ambassador to the U,S,, Yitzhak Rabin, brought the photos showing the^ new missile emplacements when he; returned to Washington trOta a hurried meeting.in Israel. Ht had been called back- to Israel for con¬ sultations after the govern¬ ment accepted the cease-fire agreement and; the Gahal Party walked out of the coalition national unity cabinet. • ¦
A key factor in Israel's acceptance was American assurances    that    Egypt
'ouldn't strengthen its missile deployment,, in the canal; zone. Washington had informed Israel that both Egypt and Russia had agreed to this point.      '

The lourih In a serlesjol reports by Ihe Regional Direclor ol the Anli- Delamallon League ol B'nai B'rilh, and pirector ol Ihe.Columbus CRC, who Is spending 5 weeks in Israel as part ol the Seminar on World Jewish Service of 1he Hebrew University.
SDE BOKER: I have just spent an hoiir with the most important man I have ever met! Over the years it has been my good fortune to have known some major political leaders - from Presidents Kennedy and \/ Johnson down - but none is guaranteed - the assured place in history which will go to the unassuming little man •we left a few minutes ago in the desert kibbutz of Sde Boker. David Ben Gurion is a legend in his lifetime - com¬ bined in his frail body are the attributes df a George Washington, a Thomas Jefferson and. an Abraham . Lincoln - and both he aridi the people of Israel know it. More than Herzj's Zionism, more    than     Weizman's
Balfour Declaration, more than Dayan's heroics, Ben Gurion's efforts are universally recognized as being responsible for the creation of the State of Israel in 1948, and for its its growth and development since.
David Ben Gurion is past 80, and his time is best spent on the memoirs he has been slowly writing since his retirement. For him to. spend an hour with visiting American Jewish communal workers is to take time from the recording of history. But he graciously agreed to meet with us for a few minutKi - and he himself stretched the time to just about one'full hour. The first thing to be stressed in reporting our interview with
. Ben Gurion is that it, was hot an "interview" at ai. He spent most of the time lec¬ turing us, asking us about the United States and about our families, parrying questions with the skill of an acknowledged political genius. What he said was not so newsworthy as it represented a distillation of years of searching for an- sers? Zionism: "Only those who canie tb Israel were true Zionists. Tlie Zioqist leaders proved themselves .inept when' they did not move to Israel. Oply the young, without ideologies but with understanding, c^me to Israel when we needed them most."
History: "Brandeis was a great man - 100 percent American, 100 percent Jewish ... Rothschild helped make  Israel,  but  when   I
talked recently with De Gaulle, and mentioned Rothschild was a great Frenchman who helped Israel, De Gaulle said: "He is not a Frenchman,..!' He speaks a clear un¬ derstandable English, with the Russian accent one used to associate - with Molly Goldberg's Uncle David; and' comes across like a kindly grandfather. Only when he talks of the young does he become excited: "Without knowing Hebrew yoii-cannot be a good Jew, Teach yow" children Hebrew. Teadyi Ihem Hebrew history, the Hebrew Bible, Hebrew literature, • Hebrew culture. Teach them Hebrew, and we will do the resl with them." He makes no bo'iies about his utter unwillingness to discuss     ideology     with
