BONN, (JTA) - Senator Jacob Javjits, New York Republican,toTd th^ press this week he had asked the West German government for a more sympathetic un¬ derstanding of the American position in the Middle East. He said he had asked for aid to the American naval presence in the
Mediterrane.an, a willingness to enter into a broad economic plan fbr the Mideast and a greater un¬ derstanding of the fact that the Mideast crisis was -as much a European as an American security problem.
The Senator told the Jewish Tele^aphic Agency that American policy, as he und^tood'it, is to sustain Israel with -arms xind to make clear to the Soviet Union that Israel would not be-.allowed to beconie vubierable through an im¬ balance of arms or the collapse of its economy. He said that no open declaration of the number of planes to be given to Israel at certain- dates was necessary now thiat the U.S. has agreed to underwrite support of Israel's armed forces and to see that Israel's position is not  prejudiced.   That,   he

U Thant Brain-washed On Middle East In Moscow
JERUSALEM, (JTA) - The Israeli Foreign Ministry implied this week that United Nations Secretary (leneral U Thant was brain-washed on the Middle East during his recent visit to Moscow. A Mmistry statement issued by the (jovemment Press Office said that Mr. Thant's remarks at a press conference in Geneva "certainly .seem to reflect

Annual U.J.F.C. Meeting Is Set For Sept. 27

the very intensive briefing to which the Secretary General appears to. have- been subjected during his recent stay in Moscow.," The Foreign Ministry statement referred to newspaper reports of Mr. Thant's pr.ess conference' which claimed that the Secretary General had, said that the new Soviet plan for the Middle East was more realistic than the American plan. A study by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency of the verbatim transcript of the Thant press conference found' no such comparison. The transcrip^t showed'that Mr. Ih'ant took paii^s to° avoid being drawn by newsmen into making a comparison between the Soviet and American plans. According to the 'verbatim transcript, Mr. Thant stated: "If I am to assess the latest proposals, I must say. that the Soviet prop<»aISii have some interesting and concrete elements as regards the establishment of a just and lasting peace m the Middle East. I am still hopeful  that  a  peacieful
solution^ a political solution, is possible as tegards the Middle   East   situation."
The Israeli Foreign Ministry's , criticism reflected a widely held view here that the Secretary General is not impartial u) the Israel-Arab dispute and that he tends to favor the Arab side. It was pointed out that Mr. Thant, while traveling extensively in the MiddleEast, has never visited Israel in his capacity of Secretary General. He came to this -country only once, in the early I950's, as secretary to the then Prime Minister of Burma, U Nu. Israelis have also accused Mr.'' Thant of- a policy of "highly ' selective abridgemfents" of the published reports of UN truce observers in the Mideast.
The Secretary-General told the. opoiinv session of the UN's World Youth Assembly in New York this week that the Mideast confpict continued without basic implementation Df the Security Council's Nov. 22,
1967 resolution because member states had failed to live up to the UN Charter's "restrictions on national sovereignty." Untip they do, "we wipl not have true peace at the international level," he said, adding: "lam very much concerned that the present unsatisfactory state ofaffairs (in the Mideast and in.Indochina) will continue as lonv as nations feel free to att in accordance with the concept of unlihiited national sovereignty." '
Meanwhile, the Youth Assembly was under heavy' behind-the-scenes bom¬ bardment from the Soviet- Arab ,bloc nations to cir¬ cumscribe' the influence of the "imperialist" United States and Gjceat Britainand the*,;aggr(essbr"Israel. The. Youth Assembly steering' committee was; according to 9ne observer, "the voice of the Soviet-Arab bloc establishment." Of the 18- member committee, one was from Egypt, one regular and one alternate member from the Sovi^ Union, one representing the General Unioh of Palestine Students, and one from Rumania. , There Were no youths on the steeffihg committee from Israel, the U.S. or Great (contihiied    on    page    3
If The Arabs Would Only Take O^e Good Look
By J.D. Myers
A study of the figures here will reveal a considerable amount of information which - if accepted - would be of ex¬ treme comparative value to Jordan and Egypt, Syria, and Lebanon -and this might as well be extended to Iraq. Though Iraq is not involved in the "to flghttag" to driye Israel into the sea and off the face .of the earth, Iraq .would benefit greatlly from peace m the area and the developihient which is to be suggested here.
Take a look at these figures-
which it defeated to the 1967 war will only sit down at the table to discuss peace and guarantees of its boundaries . and maritime traffic.
iherO is one area on which there can be no negotiations however, that is the multi- control of Jerusalem. Israel win not - Under any cir¬
cumstances -^surrender its control -complete -ov6r that city, regardless of negotiations. Yet that is such a minor point in the con¬ troversy.
It bas been suggested and it makes.sense, that Israel pay .Jordan for the. bulge of land.which Israetcaptured
and which lies West of the Jordan river. It would fill out Israel's narrow gap of land which exists at that area, and as jt i^ land which would be better developeid to Israeli hands thaii in Jordan, it sounds logical.
Israel has offered  - to- directly and through neutral
parties - to negotiate, the purchase >of- that land through the payment of any sum which can be agreed iipon by the two parties, Israel, needs that land -and access to the Jordan river, nbt'for military protection
