In his address to more than 2000 persons attending the United Jewish Appeal dinner at the New York.

In a subdued delivery that was in¬ terrupted by frequent ap¬ plause, he hammered ayray at this basic themQv.,.!rhe '¦ Defense Minister said that during his meetings on Friday with top ad¬ ministration officials "I didnU ask for anything and nothing was promised me."

Risers told the Senate Foreign Relations £bminittee that Ainerican - Israeli relations were "exceUent" and that the prospects for resumption of the Jarring peace talks were "very good," Israeli Premier Golda Meir was telling a Labor Party youth rally in Tel Aviv that she was worried if Israel had the fortitude to "stand up to political pressures" and not "lose in the political arena what was won on the bat¬ tlefield."

He also said the U.S. wants to help relieve Israel's "impossible financial burden" and is providing her with   material,   "some   at
concessionary f^tes." He emphasized that Israi^ hqs ndade it clear tluj|:ishe "does not want and do^ not need American'troops'to aid her. But they do neef| our (non - troop) support."
In TelgAviv, JJrs. Meir, While not mei^^jonlng the causes' of her cppcefn, was believed to be x^eniag to recent political events.
She said that 'she never feared tti^it)vlsr^ej's soldiers
would abandon the-bat¬ tlefield "but of J|s|te I vhave be^ to worty whietheir we have thefsiime strength to insist o^^irict^tters which are essential ttf?our security." She,added, "We mus^ not *' allow ourselves to be trapped by the notion, accepted in a number of countries,' that it is immaterial in this age of plan^ and missiles whether an order,was five or ten kilometers away."

Newsmens' ¦ bSr iefcjases .and photographers' camera cases were searched; He has' survived nine assassination attempts on his life. However, the Monarch 'himself appeared calm and unafraid.
The 3S-year-old King-who ascended the throne at age 18-conferred with President Nixon in his Oval Office for almost an hour. That evening; Mr.- Nimn gave-a stag dinner in his honor; 22 persons \yere invited to the working supper.
About   100   Palestinian students  and  supporters picketed the White H6u£^ protesting Hussein's visit.

"Hie White House refused to say whether Hussein made any specific requests of the President. The two leaders went into detailed discussion of the Mideast situation, . including the prospects for peaee negotiations and ttie policies of Jordan and her ieconimic and military: situation.
King Hussein had just come from Saudia Arabia and the united A,rab Republic and; gave the President his latest thinking on conilitions in those countries;
TTie President reiterated his desire that talks be resumed on the Mideast crises uhi^er Anibassador Jarring's auspices.
Later, at his press con¬ ference,  Mr.  Nixon  was asked if it remained y.S.. policy in the Miieast that' ' Israel must withdraw^ froiit   . all occupied Arab sectors excepting what Secretary of State.WilliamRog»s called insubstantial   alterations. The President replied that the policy is basically on the 1967      United - Nations Resolution.
