Peace Chances Better Today
JERUSAlJm|(JTA)~ Premier LeiilEkUtol taldan impromptu cpnf^iice with foreign jounjalj^ that as long as IsraePs! neighbors continued td m^e idans for Israel's destruction,, "we are- not gpfaig to evaciiate any of the teitrit^ories under our control necessary for our security."
He added tM if the Arab rulers would agir^ to negot¬ iate with i9|rgei; "aU pro¬ blems could be solved' and I^ re ite r ate d an earlier Statement that "chances for peace are bettpr toc|ay than at any tfaiiq ^jthepast 20 years."i:;/i ! ;i ¦
TWO .TSRMIi'l prtsoners of wair captifcepi by Iraq were returned tnr.Jfqijdan to Israel in exchange for 428 Jordan¬ ian^ prisoners |held by Israel. The Israelis were pUots shot downi'jclver Iraq and transferied ^- Jordan last week.
DipIomatsiiatithsUiJdted Na¬ tions brought heevy^essure to bear on Isirael.over: the Jerusalem merger activities whUe debate continued ona variety of draft resolutions before the emergency ses¬ sion,
THE HEART of aU of the drafts involved Israeli with¬ drawal trom captured ter¬ ritory of Egypt, !^ia and Jordan. I^'he draft introduced by the Soviets, at whose de¬ mand the emergency ses sion was convened, demanded Is¬ rael's unconditional with¬ drawal as the "agressor" and payment by Israel to the Arab states for war losses.
The UMted States draft linked withdrawal to recog- Mtion of Israel by the Arab states, arrangements of peaceful transit of interna- ticmal waterways and ar¬ rangements to solve the en¬ larged Arab ref ugeeprob- lem. Neither draft had any chance of adoption l^r the required two thirds ma¬ jority.
YUGOSLAVIA and faidia, backed by 12 other "non- aligned" member states, urged immediate action on another resolution confined to a demand for uncondi¬ tional Israeli withdrawal, wMch Foreign Minister Abba Eban of Israel. caUed "a prescription for hbstUlty."
AT A PRESS conference, Eban accused the Soviet Un¬ ion of having started "inten¬ sive, shipments'' qf arms to Egypt and Syria, includbig substantial numbers of figh¬ ter planes, tanks and GU¬ lery. He also .touched, bn the status of Jeru&alem, declar¬ ing that the "administrative legislation" voted by the Knesset "contained no new political state^iit" and was concerned "exijlusively with

LOS ANGELES, (WUP) ~ "Israel should not give up one inch of the territory she was forced to take firom the Arab nations."
Thus declared Barry Goldwater ih;Ms'^yndic9ted column appearing |n the Los Angeles Times recently..
"I SAY forced.tq talce," the foirmer Senator firom Arizona and Presidential candidate note4 j f'because it seems ciystal i^Iear that the Arabs were the aggres¬ sors, that backed by the So- vied UMon they forced war on Isirael and that every action Israel took in turn was an act of seifrdefense."
Goldw^f was empjiatic in stating tliat"Isiraei«tbuld keep the territoiy to pro¬ tect her. borders and her people against ftiture ag¬ gression^ from ith^j/^rab na¬ tions. It is tragically ob¬ vious," be conciu^d, '^tiiat mere words cannot keep peace in the Middle East, tiiat tiie UN is to^aUy dead in such a role and that only an assured and.protected position for Israel ban dfimp flames fai the Middle Ea^t."
