UNITED NATIONS
(WNS) — The Security
Council has begun a debate
on the Middle East issue
. after being told by Secretary
General Kurt Waldheim that
there are few if any alter-
. natives to Resolution 242 as
the basis for peace in the
region. Israel declared that
it would not agree to any
attempt to tamper with the
resolution nor would it enter
any process that would bring
third powers into the Middle
East conflict. Ambassador
YosefTekoah said "only the
parties themselves can
settle" the conflict between
Israel and the Arab nations
and Israel will not be
coerced into relinquishing its
right to establishing boun¬
daries through negotiations
- and agreements.   '
Tekoah blamed the failure
*,, for a Middle East settlement
^ directly on Egypt and said
;■' that Israel "has repeatedly
attempted in the last six
. .years to reach a peaceful
l, agreement with Egypt and
' 'the other Arab states." He

ICA0 Condemns Israel for
Libyan Airliner Incident
MONTREAL (WNS) —
Israel suffered another
setback in an international
forum when the 30-nation
governing council of the
International .Civil Aviation
Organization (ICAO) con¬
demned her for shooting
down a Libyan civilian -
airliner that strayed into
Israeli airspace over Sinai
last Feb. 21 and crashed with
, the loss of 108 Jives. A
resolution stating that Israel
has "no justification" for
shooting dowh the Boeing 727
was adopted, at a closed
session of tile Council by a
vote of 27-6 With the United
States and Nicaragua ab¬
staining and one member,.
Pakistan; absent. The
resolution also condemned
Israel for a 1968 commando
raid on the Beirut airport.
Meir Rosenne, an advisor
to the Foreign Ministry in
Jerusalem, who headed: the
Israeli delegation attending
the ICAO session here as
observers,      said     the
organization exceeded its
mandate and ignored the
facts. He* r said Israel
regarded the coademnatko
"as • unjustified and un-
justiflaMe."
Rosenne noted the Council
ignored tin report of an
ICAO investigating team
which found that the

Rosenne argued that the
sole mandate of the
governing council was to
take technical and ad¬
ministrative action to
preclude an occurence of a
similar disaster.He said the
ICAO action instead
politicized the tragedy.-..,

B'nai B'rith Raps Alleged
CIA Bugging Of Its Offices
^AMESHA LAKE, NY,
Jqns?*lV<JTA) -^ The B'nai
B'rith: .today denounced, as
"reprehensible," if true,
reports that the 130-year-old
American Jewish service
organization has been under
surveillance by the Central
Intelligence Agency. The
Y reports, which appeared in
V several Washington and New
\York newspapers yesterday,
did not state the purpose of
the alleged surveillance or
, the peririavtY which it was
?■ conducted.
(David  M.   Bliunnerg.

"shock and anger" today
over tiie CIA:surveillance
reports. In a statement from
Houston, Tex., where, he is
attending the centennial
convention of, B'nai B'rith
District 7, Blumberg con¬
demned the alleged CIA
activity as. "illegal in pur¬
pose, outrageous in
character and an affront to
the liberties that a govern¬
ment investigative agency is
presumed to help defend.'.')

both State Department of¬

would not upset the balance  .
of power in the Middle East
nor does it mean any change
in     the     Nixon    NAd-

supporting Israel. They said '
the sale was for the purpose
of -helping  Saudi-Arabia
offset threats from Soviet
supported regimes  on *r
near its border.
But Sisco said there was
no way the State Depart-'"
ment could guarantee that
the Saudis would not tran¬
sfer  the jets  to a  third
country to be used against
Israel., He   said  he   was....
confident that this would not-:
happen   because   of   thej>
friendship'between the US'
and   Saudi   Arabia,   the
provision in the agreement
that bars such transfer
without US approval and the
deepening of the relations
between the two countries.
