.i'..-PARIS (WNS) - French newspapers criticized the
French government over the safe conduct granted five
Arab terrorists who occupied the Saudi Arabian
Embassy and were permitted to leave France with six
hostages bound and under gunpoint. French officials
'stressed that above all France wanted to avoid
bloodshed. The terrorists and their hostages took off
aboard a Syrian Garavelle jet and eventually landed in
Kuwait.
TEL AVIV (WNS) - The Labor Party Secretariat
has overwhelmingly approved proposals by Defense
Minister Moshe Dayan that will open the way to
private land purchases by Jews in the administered
territories, increasing Jewish settlement in the
territories and reduce the Arab labor force presently
working in Israel. The plan is now a platform
statement for the October elections. Meanwhile
Mapam's political committee said it will not "support
the Dayan plan. Mapam is a member of the Labor
Alignment which is scheduledto meet soon to draft a
platform combining the vi jvs of both partners.
JERUSALEM (WNS) - Mnited National Secretary
General Kurt Waldheim after returning from his five-
nation Middle East tour sent a telegram to Foreign
Minister Abba Egan stating: "The understanding I
found in your country toward my efforts to contribute a
just and.lasting peace is a source of great en¬
couragement to me." At the end of his tour, Waldheim
said his visits to Israel, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and
Egypt gave him an "excellent insight" into the
problem and he is now in a better position to decide
how the UN can help finding a solution in the Mideast.
TEL AVIV (WNS) - Adib Yousouf Halabi, a 23-year-
old Druze from a Golan Heights village has'been
sentenced to 25 years inprisonment for mailing letter-
bombs last winter to President Nixon, U.S. Secretary
of .State William P.. Rogers and Defense Secretary
Melvin Laird. Another Druze, Shaquib Abu Jabel, 24,
was sentenced to 15 years in jail for membership in an
espionage organization.
WASHINGTON, (JTA) -
President Nixon announced
at a press  conference  on
- Sept. 5 he had instructed
Secretary of State-designate
Dr. Henry Kissinger "to put
the highest priority" on
efforts to settle the Middle
East deadlock because of
threats by Arab oil-
producing nations to
pressure for a change in U.S.
'Mideast policy. It was the
first public
acknowledgements by the
President of those threats
and came shortly after
Libya announced it was
taking over 51 percent of
several major American oil
companies ' operating in
Libya. Nixon issued war¬
nings to both the oil-
producing Arab states and to
Congress on the energy
problem and declared he
would use his influence to get
negotiations started for a
settlement. Hesaid that "the
problem, as far. as the Arab
countries are concerned, is
linked to the Arab-Israeli
dispute'' and for that reason
he had asked urgent action
by','! Dr. Kissinger, his
national security advisor. In
recent weeks,, there have
been repeated statements by
leaders of Arab countries of
using oil as a pressure to
force a change in U.S. policy
toward Israel.
The President said both
Israel and the Arab states
"are at fault. Both sides
need to start negotiations.
Israel To Bring Terrorist Attempt To
Shoot Down El Al Plane Before ICAO
JERUSALEM, (JTA.) -
Israel will bring the
narrowly aborted terrorist
attempt to shoot down an
EAE plane near the Rome
airport on Sept. 5 before the
International Civil Aviation
Organization's (ICAO)
general assembly currently
meeting in Rome, official
sources said here on Sept-. 6.
The sources said the Israeli
delegate to the ICAO
meeting would raise 'the
matter within a few days.
Ttiey said the plot to destroy
an Israeli airliner with
Soviet-made ground-to-air
missiles demonstrated
clearly who endangers civil
aviation and who should be
condemned- Last week, the
ICAO condemned Israel by
an 87-1 vote for its Aug. 10
interception of a Lebanese
airliner. The ICAO, a UN
'body, is considering means
to curb international air
piracy. The Rome meeting
ends Sept. 21. .
Details of two Soviet-made
SA-7 type missiles cached by
Arab terrorists in a house in
Ostia on the Italian coast
less   than   10  miles  from
Rome Airport were released
by Italian police on Sept. 6.
They were described as 4.3
foot solid fuel missiles
■ equipped with heat sensitive
homing devices and an ef¬
fective range of 10,000 feet.
According to Italian security
sources, the terrorists
planned to shoot down the
Israeli airliner at a height of
about 300 feet as the plane
passed over the Italian coast
preparatory to landing at
Fiumicino Airport. The
terrorists had a second
missile in reserve should the
first have' failed to hit its
target, the Italian sources
said. They said the attack,
foiled as the result of a tip-off
from Israeli intelligence
Service, was to have taken
place Sept. 5, the first an¬
niversary of the massacre of
11 Israeli Olympic athletes
in Munich last year by
terrorists of the Black
September organization.
The five Arabs Italian
police arrested in Ostia and
Rome are believed to be
members of the Black
September. They were
identified as Ghassan Ah-

That is our position. We are
not pro-Israel and we are not
pro-Arab. We are not more
pro-Arab because they have
oil and Israel has not. We are
pro-peace." This was the

and Arab states, his rebuke ,.
to   Israel   was   the- more
significant in view of the
close  U.S.' support .'that
country has enjoyed over the
past 25 years. Nixon -made it
e'ear that the U.S. would not
sell Israel short over Arab
oil threats. But for the first
time he publicly linked the
Arab-Israeli dispute with the
oil situation, two issues the
Administration    previously
maintained were separate.'
The'President., indicated
further that the threat to
U.S. and West European oil
supplies was a major reason,
why he has asked Dr. Henry"
A.  Kissinger his  foreign
policy advisor and Secretary
of State-designate to give the
highest priority to a Middle
East settlement.
Reports from Cairo on
Sept. 6 said diplomatic
sources' there expected Dr/
Kissinger to visit the
Egyptian capital as part of a
tour that would- include
Israel "and possibly. other
Arab states for background
briefings for the task
assigned him by Nixon. Dr.
