Eeypts' Riad States No Peace Without Total Israeli Withdrawal
BY GEORGE FRIEDMAN
JTA UN Correspondent (Copyright 1971, JTA, Inc.)
UNITED NATIONS^ N.Y. (jJTA)-^Egyptian     Foreign Minister Mahmoud Riad tdld the General Assembly Uiat Israel wanted a Suez Canal agreement       "as        a springboard ^tor   further aggression"   and   "as  a means to consolidate... its aggression . . . under the protection    of -^the    in¬ ternational community." In ani hour-long address -^ ' longer by a third than the Assembly average — Riad rqieatedly stated that Uiere could be no Middle East peace without total Israeli withdrawal ffrvm  the oc¬ cupied Arab territories. His most frequent reference was to Israeli  "expansionism," and he twice referred to Jerusalem's  desire  for   a "Greater Israel." Egypt, declared'Riad, refuses to .'i'surrendpi:" ^tp,'such   a ppli^. If Isra^ wants peace, he isaid," sh6  shoijild   uti- plement Security Council Resbliitiori' 242 of Nov. 22, 1967 —  "particularly  the withdrawal from all the Arab territories occupied by Israel"   —   and   "reply positively"  to the Feb.  8 inquiry of Uie United Nations intermediary,   Ambassador Gunnar   V.    Jarring   of Sweden.     Israeli     "ex¬ pansionism," Riad said, if "the most d^mgerous factor threatening   peace -in   the Middle       East,"       and Jerusalem's   policies   of "massive   expulsion"   of Palestinians     and "demolition"     of    their property are "among  the gravest of crimes" and in fact comparable to Nazism. Riad denounced Israeli Foreign   Minister   Abba Eban's "considerable efforts of linguistic dexterity and
wordplay"  in  the  latter's
recent;i>Assembly   address.
The Egyptian said Eban's ¦  speech •:^ constituted     a
"categorical rejection of peace in tiie Middle East" and a defense of "military expansion" — policies, he said, that "find no support whatever in the international community." Riad con¬ demned Israel for ignoring Assembly and Security Council resolutions critical of her, and urged the Assembly to take "firm internatiPnal action" to "force" her compliance wiUi the Charto' and "bring them (Israel) back into the fold of civilized nations." Riad's ' reference to United States policy was brief; he said the U.S. was "frustratmg" the cause of peace by continuing to aid Israel militarily.
Non-Israeli Western sources commented that beneath Riad's rhetoric was a statement that neither advanced the cause of peace nor closed any doors. Israeli Ambassador Yosef Tekoah was inore specific: He said Riad's speech "makes it clear that. Egypt's position remains as intransigent as even" 'Tekoah said that insteadof replying to Eban's fivfrpoint peace proposal, Riad "chose the path of sterile acrimony, mvective and distortion' and of demands to impose on Israel Egypt^s diktat, whether on the interim agreement or the over-all settiement, without neaJtiation and without agiftement." This "in¬ flexible" attitude, tiie Israeli continued, "can only block understanding and prevent progress in the peace¬ making progress."
Foreign Minister Abdul Halim khaddam of Syria contended that Israel should be a "candidate for ex¬ pulsion" from Uie United Nations for her "racial" policies, her "imperialist occupation" of Arab territories and her "Nazi- fashion Zionist aggression in Uie Middle East." He cited Article 6 ofthe UN.Ch^rterij "A mernber of Uie Unitpd

E;ban Offers Five Point Peace Program And Direct Negotiations
UNITED NATIONS (WNS)—Israel's Foreign Minister Abba Eban ad¬ dressed Uie United Nations General Assembly and of¬ fered a five-point peace program for the Middle East including direct talks bet¬ ween himself and Egyptian Foreign Minister Mahmoud Riad. The other four points included work towards a Suez (^nal agreement, a resumption of the,(Gunnar V.) Jarring mission, a set¬ tiement of the 'refugee problem arid ''d deter¬ mination of the ''princiides of peace." Eban  said  Uie  meeting
millions in the Middle East be saved from sacpifice and preserved for the con¬ struction of a peaceful regional order."
He contended the first road to peace lies in a Cdnal pact as in "disengagement, there is an urgent intemational interest." Eban said "when agreement on a final (Canal) boundary is reached Israeli forces will withdraw to it." He added that Israel would return to the Jarring talks "if Egypt will present its position for negotiations without the unprecedented request for Israel's ac¬ ceptance    (of    Egyptian
with Riad could be held now  terms)    in    advance    of
during the ' General Assembly meeting to discuss either an interim settiement under either U.S. auspices or a permanent peace based on Security Council Resolution 242 directed by Ambassador Jarring, the UN's Mideast mediator.
Efian urged, "Let us break out of. - devious procedures and sterile polemics into a new vision and a new hope" and added, the cause Pf peace will not "be^ fulfilled by living out the rest of 1971 in ineffective debate or in¬ flammatory     resolutions."
Referring to Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's recent threat that he "would sacrifice a million men to achieve a military victory," Eban said "What he and we should be considering is how to ensure the 33 million Egyptians tiiat tiie 3 million Israelis   and   the   other
negotiations." Eban also stated that Israel had "never asserted that in a condition of peace it would be necessary for our troops to remain in all of Sinai or even in most of it." But he noted the need for a "contractual basis for a continued (Israeli) presence in order to safeguard security and navigation.
Eban also called for an intemational conference "to chart a five year plan for the solution of the refugee problem and the int^ration of refugees into productive life," and said ttiat "it might be profitable to attempt to draft some of the clauses of the Egyptian-Israel treaty relating to the principles of peace."
The Egyptian Ambassador to the UN Mohammed H. el- Zayyat was not present during Eban's speech.

In a letter to Secretary Laird, Rabbi Arthur J. Leiyveld of Cleveland, president of the American Jewish C!ongresS, said he was "deeply dismayed" by a report in the New York Times that Lt. Col. Anthony Herbert—a much-decorated hero of Korea and Vietnam — was being disci|dined for his insistence on an in¬ vestigation of criminal acts he had witnessed in Viet¬ nam.
According to the report, Lt. Col. Herbert was relegated to a recruitipg desk at Fort McPherson, Georgia, despite a brilliant ' military career hi the field and ' almost certain promotion, because he in¬ sisted that his superiors "go by  the  book"  and  probe
