Mrs. Meir Warns New War With Egypt Possible
TEL AVIV (jtA)- Premier Gk)lda Meir warned today that a new war with Egypt was a possibility and , precUcted that it would end the same Way as the last one ' - with the enemy's defeat. Similar predictions were made Friday by,"* Defense Minister Moshe Dayan and Chief of Staff of Israel's Armed Forces Gen. Haim Bar Lev. Mrs. Meir, ad¬ dressing Labor Zionist . delegates gathered here for the opening tomorrow of the Jewish  Agency  Assembly,
chided Israeli peace ac¬ tivists: She said their slogan, "Peace For Territories," was "superficial and sim¬ plistic," adding ''I only wish it were that simple." Mrs. Meir asserted that "We do not want war, but the possibility exists, that the Egyptians will launch one." Dayan,' in an interview in Maariv, warned that unless some progress was made toward an interim set¬ tlement, there was a danger hostilities would be resumed. He  stated that  a  partial
agreement to reopen the Suez Canal was still possible and observed that new Soviet shipments to Egypt were dangerous because, they bolstered Egypt's confidence in its military prowess. Dayan cautioned against confrontation with the Soviets noting that "it seems that they also are not jum¬ ping into a confrontation with us." Bar Lbv, speaking to Israeli troops on the Golan Heights, told them to be "well prepared" for a possible renewal of fighting.

JERUSALEM,   (JTA)   - Defense  Minister  Moshe Dayan took a dim view June 14 of the prospects  for reaching an interim' accord with Egypt to'riiopeh the Suez Canal. 1|e.said Israiel was ready for sudi an:accord - as a possible flnsfiSte^'Ut a stage-by-stage    n^bVetii«[it toward peacci' iHpweVeri Dayan  declared, >tiie ~gap< between Israel and Egypt with respect' to' an' interim- settlement  today  was   as great as the g^p between the two on an bver-all peace settlement.    Dayan    ad¬ dress^ Hebrew- University students at the Jerusalem Convention    Center.    He warned   that   the.  present tendency- among, the Arabs was to renew'tl^e y/£(r rather, than terminate it- He said Israel was th^efoi^ oblijgjed. - tbacttoinsure.a pootiniiance- of the ^easfra|^^|jut.he r^ out; tliicrJiM|lib:iiUyAbfv9 military .'-a|liaiv;e '-with .-the;- United'States.'

He said that despite Washington's desirie to avoid a   confrontation   with   the Russians,, the  P.^'! has refused w make coinmon caasc with Mnsqow in the
attempt to impose a set¬ tlement on Israel "yet." He dissociated himself from talk about the possibility of a new (X^emptive strike by Israd to subdue Egypt. He said it would not be in Isradls interest to cross the Suez Canal, occupy Cairo and set up an Egyptian, "puppet government" to ; ;m^ke- peace on Israel's t^rms.'But he added that this did nbt;mean that a situation could not. arise that would oblige Israel to cross the Suez Cabal,' occupy Cairo and' set Up ah :^:Egyptian "puppet ggyetnment'' to make pe^be on Israel's' terms. But^he added that this did not mean that a situation .could not arise that would oblige Israel to cross the Suez Canal and capture Cairo or even Damascus or .'Amman.

Twenty-five demonstrators, rqiresenting a /' new      organization, Americans for a- Secure I^ael, marched outside the r^ate Department chanting "Rogers is a Munich man." BemiceLipkin, a spokesman for the group,  which has headquarters in New York, said the.Mter was accepted by H.H; Stackhouse of the Department's Middle East desk.  It demanded  that Rogers "fulfill the desires of '.the American  people as expressed by Congress for a secure, Israel.. .or resign." Miss '\;Lipkijn    said    the organization'-"Was planning an educational campaign to .let  the  public  know  that "Israel is fighting America's battle in the Middle East." In New York, Americans for l;a Secure Israel' annbunced its     formation     as     an "organization .it^i|^ert the public   to  the^'heed   for changing American  policy on Israel)" According to its chairman^ frof. Erich Isaac

Fisher, here to attend the first Assembly of the reconstituted JeWish Agency which opened in Jerusalem Tuesday, .had liis last meeting with President Nixon two months ago. He refused to confirm or deny that he was carrying a letter from Nixon to Premier Golda Meir. He said he found Nixon "more sympathetic than anyone could expect" toward Israel, adding, "I can only Wish- Israel had some more friends like cNJJcon." Asked by newsmerii'if^the White House was acting on behalf of Soviet Jews; Fisher, who campaigned for Nixon in 1968 replied, "things are being done but I cannot speak about them." At a presS'^confereiice in Jerusaiemi^pdayy Jewish Agency chairinbn Louis Pincus said the Assembly would represaitt nearly 2.5 million Jews,   the  largest
JeWish body ever set Up. He ^aid about 1.5 million con¬ sists of contributors to the various fund-raising appeals for Israel and another 900,000 represented the manbersbip of the World Zionist OrganiiEation on the con¬ clusion of the world-wide membership drive. Pincus stressed that for obvious reasons the 2.5 million did not include Israeli-Jews pr Jews from East European and other countries where the membership drive could not be conducted. He described the Jewish Agency's activities, apart frpm fund-raising, as im- migratioh, settlement, youth aliyah, ' social welfare, housing, health, absorption, agriculture and education. ' Pincus announced that Dr. .IsraeLGoldstein wouldretire next week as.chairman of the Keren Hay esod-Uiiited Israel Appeal, < haying reached the age of 75.i|He said the World Confederatibn of General Zionists has, nominated Ezra Shapiro of Cleveland, Ohio as his successor.    ^      . i
