NEWYORK (WNS) —Malcolm Hoenlein, executive
director of the Greater New York Conference on Soviet
Jewry, charging that the USSR "is taking advantage of
ttie events in the Middle East to intensify its
harassment of Jews trying to emigrate from Russia,"
announced that new steps are being taken to respond to
the Soviet crackdown. As a first step the five New York
City borough Presidents placed telephone calls from.
City Hall to top public officials in the Soviet Union
urging an immediate end to the new wavejrf trials and
persecutions.
TEL AVIV (WNS) — After another deadlocked
meeting between Israeli and Egyptian negotiators at
Kilometer 101 on the Suez-Cairo road the cease-fire
talks broke down and were postponed without setting a
date for another meeting. The latest meeting was
interrupted by a 35-minute small arms and mortar
t\ duel between Israeli and Egyptian forces just a mile
■* from the United Nations tent where Israeli and
Egyptian generals were talking. The impasse has
increased fear in Israel that warfare may be resumed
by Egypt before the start of Middle East peace con-
ference in Geneva. ' ■	
Ben-Gurion Dies At 87
David Ben-Gurion, author
of Israel's independenceand
the Jewish, state's frist
premier, died Dec. 1. He was
87.'.
Ben-Gurion, who retired
from the premiership 10
years ago and from public
life in 1970, suffered a
cerebral hemmorrhage Nov.
18.
Ben-Gurion, who as early
as 1907 urged Jews in
Palestine to arm themselves
against the Arabs, declared
an independent Jewish state
there 41 years later. He was
the nation's dominant figure
during its first 15 years.
The former premier
retired to his home in Sde

Negev Desert, and quietly
switched from making

JERUSALEM  (WNS)  —
Deputy Premier Yigal Alton
has rejected the view that a
peace treaty with the Arabs
would be valueless, noting
that    with    "the    bitter
relations in the area there is
tremendous   value   in   a
written contract." He told a
symposium at the Van Leer
Institute here that the for¬
thcoming peace conference
in Geneva would have more
nance to succeed if Israel
could negotiate separately
with  each  Arab  country.
Meanwhile Defense Minister
Moshe Dayan told visiting
delegates   from   the   Con¬
ference  of  Presidents   of
Major  American  Jewish
Organizations that even if
the cease-fire broke down
the conference has a chance
to pave the way for peace if
Israel was careful not to
forgo anything vital to its
future. While praising U.S.
military aid, Dayan said he
hoped the U.S. would not
attempt to dictate Israel's
security frontiers, since in
the absence of these fron¬
tiers, any peace proposed
would   be   unstable   and
doubtful.    But    Foreign
Minister Abba Eban told the
American   Jewish   leaders
that 'Israel's     pre-war
"security doctrine" had
failed and that all policies
that rested on it had to be
revised.   "We  should  not
abandon the idea of strategic
depth, Eban said* "but there
is  a versatile range  of
' methods'  which   can   be
achieved — sometimes, but
not always, by territorial
change." Eban said the
peace conference would be a
prolonged effort, somewhat
like the Vietnam talks in
Paris. Earlier Eban told a
30-member delegation from
the Israel Bond Organization
that if the Arabs agree to a
full peace implying
diplomatic relations,

contacts     and     normal
KKK Leader Says End Support
For Israel At Local Meeting
by Bill Cohen
Chronicle Special Reporter
The United States should
drop its support to Israel to
solve the so-called energy
crisis and to block a Jewish
plot to make Israel the head,
of a world government.
That was one of the points
made by Dale Reusch, the
Ohio Grand Dragon of the
Knights of the Ku Mux Man,
which held a public meeting
attended by about 50 persons
near Grove City Dec. 1.
: During an hour interview,
Reusch, who is seeking
signatures to get his name on
the Democratic primary
ballot for governor, warned
that "if the American people
do not watch this very
closely and try to stop the
support into Israel, we'll
have a third world war at our
feet."
"Israel's getting enough
support from other nations,"
Reusch said as he called for
jin   "embargo  of  Israel."
"Why should the American
movements of people and
ideas across borders, the
territorial issue would be
less acute. But if peace was
merely a synonym for a
fragile cease-fire, then
Israel's "indispensible
condition" for territorial
security would be "more
severe," he said.
Meanwhile the U.S. and
the Soviet Union have in¬
vited Egypt, Syria and
Jordan to participate in the
conference in Geneva and.
the U.S. alone invited Israel
since the USSR does not
have diplomatic relations
with- Israel. The two
superpowers decided not to
invite the Palestinians to the
conference although they
may attend later on as part

Israel will never have real
peace until it'recognizes and

How much has Israel sup¬

Reusch, a factory worker
from Lodi, Ohio, said he
doubts there is a genuine
energy shortage. He em¬

is shipping oil to the U.S., the
U-.S, is still exporting oil.

Speaking at the Hillel
Foundation November 28,
Drabkin, who has served as
a consultant to the United
Nations Center for Housing,
Building, and Planning; said
that a separate Jewish state
and Palestinian state could
be "independent " but
federated"     economically.
Drabkin, also the editor
for the independent Israeli
magazine "New Outlook,"
explained he first made his
proposal in 1947 and has
again submitted a plan for a
Palestinian state to the
United .Nations, where
members of the Security
Council are looking at it.
"Some of our people say
that a nation such as
Palestine doesn't exist, and,
historically, you can prove
that one hundred years ago,
there was no Palestinian
nation," Drabkin said.
"But the paradox is that
the Zionist movement
created the Palestinian
nation," he added.
