NEW YORK (JTA}- Two
major, American Jewish
organizations, ; have
responded sharply to. allega¬
tions by former Vice
President Spiro T. Agnew
that American Jews control
the most important
segments of the media and
exert undue influence on
United States policy, espe¬
cially in the Middle East.
Agnew has been making
these remarks in appear¬
ance on various television
talk shows promoting his
novel "The Canfield
Decision." Similar charges
against American Jews are
contained in the book. In an
interview published May 23
in the Washington Star, the
' former Vice President con¬
tended that half of those in
-the "ownership and manage-"
ment* policy posts* in the
"national impact media"
are Jewish. Agnew conceded
"' to. Washington Star\ staff
writer William Delaney that'
his view about Jews in the
media and his view, that
Israel "has now embarked
on the imperialistic exercise
'.'bringing about a police
state in these areas", was not
"recently arrived at. "When 1
was in office" it "wasn't
obviously to my advantage
occupying Arab lands" and ^ to say these things." but "1
still took this point of view."
Agnew told Delaney that he
visited the Middle East
because he felt the U.S.
policy was so uneven that he

Sec. Council Deplores Israeli Settlements
-UNITED NATIONS
(WNS) - Security Council
President Louis de Guirin-
gaud read the Council a
majority statement deplor¬
ing the establishment by
Israel of settlements in the
occupied territories as an
"obstacle" to peace in the
Middle East. The statement,
which expressed "grave
anxiety" over the present
situation in the territories
and concern about the fate of
the Arab population there,
urged Israel "to desist and
rescind" such measures.
, The statement which did riot
specify" which  of  the  15
Council members approved
it came at the end of a
Council debate on a request
by Egypt to criticize Israel's
administration of the .terri¬
tories. ' A draft resolution
criticizing Israel was~ruled
out by the Council members
because, of the likelihood of
an American veto. American
objections also eliminated
the possibility of a consensus
statement which would have
required the unanimous
endorsement of all 15
Council members U.S.
Ambassador William
Scranton also *voiced objec-'
tions to the majority state¬
ment .as lacking balance.
However,-he.said there was
-Triucft^wat^the ;U.S.*"Could*

the world and are not helpful

Israeli Ambassador Chaim
Herzog declared that "Israel
rejects the thesis that the
establishment of settlements
is ah obstacle to peace. We
reject it out of hand " He
said "the obstacle to peace is
the Arab refusal to recognize
the Jewish people's right to
sovereignty in its ancient
homeland."
Herzog-later issued a
statement denying a report
in some newspapers that his
remarks were aimed at the
U.S. He said his remarks re¬
