UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. - President Anwar Sadat
of Egypt (left) addresses the United Nations General
Assembly while Israeli Ambassador Chaim Herzog
listens at right with other members of his delegation.
Mr. Sadat, trying to impress the U.N. with "its
responsibility" for the fate of the Palestinians,
managed to present his pro-Palestine Liberation
Organization brief in such a way that he caused
ihinimal diplomatic injury to Israel. He also called for
' another Geneva conference on the Middle East.
Reaction to the speech was mixed. Arab delegations
were present in the Assembly Hall but did not applaud,
and Arab organizations in the U.S., calling the recent
Egypt-Israel disengagement in the Sinai a "betrayal"
of Arab cause, demonstrated outside while Sadat
spoke. Mr. Herzog said it was "ludicrous" of Sadat to
demand that the proposed resumption of the Geneva
conference be organized with the full participation of
the Palestinians. <

WASHINGTON, (JTA) -
Egyptian President Anwar
Sadat, opening a  10-day .
campaign for support from
-American political and
economic leaders as well as
, the American people,
strongly attacked Zionism.
Speaking at the National
Press Club, Sadat also said
that the Palestinians must
be included in any Middle
East settlement, but
declared that normal
relations between Israel and
the Arab states must be left
to the next generation.
He also called on the
United States, which he' said
holds in "its hands more
than 99 percent of the cards
in this game," to do its best
to "fulfill another
disengagement between.
Syria and Israel similar to
1974" on the Golan Heights.
Sadat's harshest attack
during his press club
appearance was on Zionism.
Asked' if his government
equates Zionism with racism
— and if not why did Egypt
support the resolution in the
United Nations Third
Committee — Sadat sought
to separate Jews from
Zionists. "We have had Jews
always in our country," he
said. "The Jews had the
Arab economy in their hands
until 1952. We did not
complain. This Zionism
issue has changed
everything — really."
The Egyptian President
stressed Ms point by relating
an incident he said happened
to him. Stressing again that
"all ,our economy was in.
Jewish hands," Sadat said
that in 1952 when he was
returning to the army after
seven years in prison he
went to a store to buy a
radio. "But the Jews there
had received orders from
Zionism in Israel," he
claimed. "I was denied a
radio set to buy. AU the
dealers were in the hands of
Jews. I was an officer in.the
army that fought Israel."
Sadat said that "Zionism .

Question Omission Of Zionism Issue in
Talks Between Presidents Sadat, Ford
Moynihan: Anti-Zionist Measures In UN
Assembly Would Legitimize Anti-Semitism
WASHINGTON, (JTA) -
Daniel P. Moynihan, the
tlnited States Ambassador
to the United Nations,
warned last week that the
UN Third Committee's
resolution equating Zionism
with racism and colonialism
could, if adopted by the
General Assembly,
legitimize anti-Semitism in
many parts of the world.
Responding to questions
on the nationally televised
CBS-TV "Face the Nation"
program, Moynihan quoted
the Soviet Nobel Laureate
and dissident Andrei
Sakharov as saying that the
resolution "will give .anti-
Semitism the appearance of
international legality."
Moynihan added, "This is
not just Israel. We are
talking about the Ukraine,
we are talking about Brazil,
we are talking about our own
country perhaps and that is
just appalling."
The American envoy
characterized the draft
resolution as "not a question
of left or right but rather of
despotic governments in the
main voting against those
governments which
maintain the tradition of
liberal democracy."
However, when Moynihan.
was asked if by implication
he included Egypt, whose
President Anwar Sadat was
getting "a glorious
reception" by President
Ford and Secretary of State.
Henry A. Kissinger, among
the despotic, anti¬
democratic forces, he
suggested that Egypt might
have been forced to go along
with the Third Committee -
majority.
According to the text of his
interview, Moynihan said:
"I think it was certainly the
case that Egypt, and not a '
few countries like,Egypt,
were in a stiuation, a
Moslem country, and they
went along with this
vote...many countries were
forced into the situation by
this group — mostly Cuba,
Algeria, Iraq and the
Communist bloc itself." He
added, "There were perhaps
some perfectly attractive
regimes in the Indian Ocean,
for example, democratic
societies which are Moslem,
felt they had to go along with
this."
Moynihan agreed with a
reporter that the anti-Zionist
resolution "is likely" to pass
when it comes before the
General Assembly plenary.
"If it does not do so, it will be
the first time in the history of
the United Nations that
something like this has been
turned around," he said.
He said that if the
resolution is endorsed by the
General Assembly the only
way the democracies- can
"respond in any effective
way would be to say it is not
important. And, of course,
that is saying the UN is not
important, saying we don't
pay attention to things like
this and in order to present
its impact on Israel, on the
legitimacy of that state, on
the whole question of anti-
Semitisirrin the world, we
are just going to have to act
like the United Nations is not
very important, and we don't
want to do that. We most
emphatically don't want to
do that."

WASHINGTON, (JTA) -
President Ford deeply
regrets the decision by New
York City Mayor Abraham
D. Beame not to welcome
President Anwar Sadat of
Egypt, White House Press
Secretary Ron Nessen told
reporters at a briefing at the
White House on Oct. 28. He
-said he did not know whether'
Ford told Sadat of his
regrets during their meeting
at the White House. Nessen
noted that President and
Mrs. Sadat are "guests of
the President." Nessen said,
in reply to a question raised
by the Jewish Telegraphic
Agency that Ford did not
discuss with Sadat the
latter's remarks before the
National Press Club Oct. 27
in which he -attacked
Zionism as bringing
"violence and hatred" to the
Middle East and spoke of
Egyptian Jews as" having
controlled his country's
economy until 1952 and taken
orders from the Zionists...
Reporters then pressed
Nessen for an explanation of
why the issue of Zionism was
not' discussed by the two
Presidents since it had
figured prominently in
Sadat's Press Club remarks,
why Ford had words about
Beame but not* Zionism and
whether Ford was "avoiding
the subject." Nessen replied
that "the thrust of their
(Ford-Sadat) meeting is
primarily to continue the
momentum for the
permanent peace settlement
in  the   Middle   East  and
bilateral relations." .
Reporters insisted, however,
in wanting to know if-there
was a tacit agreement not to
discuss Zionism, Nessen
replied that he did not know. _
Asked why Zionism was
ignored while the subject of
the Palestinians was
discussed, the press
secretary - evaded the
question, stating only that
the ~Ford-Sadar talks" were,
being held in a "friendly and
constructive,, atmosphere."
At one point, Nessen was
asked if the issue of Zionism
had no bearing on prospects
for peace in the Middle East,
to which be replied that he

JWV Natl. Commander To
Speak At Veterans Sabbath
Beame Says No To Sadat
NEW" YORK, (JTA) — Mayor Abraham D. Beame
informed the State Department Oct. 27 that he would
not participate in ceremonial greetings for Egyptian
President Anwar Sadat. He said it would be "an act of
hypocrisy" for him to do so. The city's first Jewish
Mayor was reportedly under heavy pressure from the
State Department to welcome the visiting Egyptian
leader and present him with the ceremonial key to the
city. But Beame informed the Department through
Commissioner of Public Events Angier Biddle Duke
that "my personal plans over the next two days do not
include an official visit with President Sadat of
Egypt."
In a statement released at City Hall, Beame said: "I
believe it would be an act of hypocrisy on my part to
participate in any welcoming ceremony with any chief
of state who has been a party to the United Nations
resolution which seeks to revive a new form of racism
as a substitute for the principles of understanding and
peaceful negotiations upon which this world body was
formed." The Mayor was referring to the draft
resolution adopted by the General Assembly's Third
Committee equating Zionism with racism and
. colonialsim, Egypt, though not one of the original
sponsors of the draft, supported it.
