Dullles to Find Sfat e of Israel Receptive §® M. E. Defense London (JTA)—When Secretary of State John Foster Dulle:. arrives in Israel, he will find . the Israel Government receptive _to the American defense conception for the Middle East, the Sunday ; Observer, leading British newspaper, reports today in a cable from Tel Aviv. The cable Mys that Premier lien Gurlon and Foreign Minister Sharett intend to present to Mr. Dulles the following views: 1. That no Middle Eas,t defense organization is possible without taking Israel into consideration; 2. That Israel's high standards of technical know-how have made her air force the most efficient In the Middle East and her industrial and assembly plants are the finest ond latest in the region: 3. That contrary to current Arab claims, peace between Israel and the Arab States,Is not impossilile provided both sides are ready for compromise; and 4. That Israel doeE not ask the United States to mediate between it and the Arab states, but desires that the U, S. Use. its influence with the Arab States to induce them to sit do«rn at direct, peace talks with .Israel and hammer out the basic issues. The Israelis BCO n number of areas In which there Is room for compromise in working out ,an Arab-Israeli peace, the Observer article states, including: the Jewish State's readiness to, make a major financial contribution to the resettlement of Palestine refugees In tho Arab countries, If normal relations can be secured with the Arab states; Israel would also bo prepared to make minor frontier "rectifications on tho basis of humane considerations; nnd, Israel would.be willing to offer Jordan a free'zone at tho port of Halfu to relieve the economic problems
Inflicted on the Arab state by lack of n Mediterranean outlet. However, the Observer article points out, the Israelis would only be willing to make these concesions as part of a general and permanent peace settlement with the Arab stales. Tho Israelis have Just approved the transfer to Arab refugees of the first 20,000 pound, o( a total of 1,000,000 pound", which Israel has promised to relcaso from fro7.cn bonk accounts, as a demonstration of good will, the article reports. Another such gesture, the Observer continues, Is the granting of permission to some 2,400 Arab refugees to return to Israel to allow them to be reunited with their families and the granting of permission to 000 Arab3 to leave Israel for the came purpose. For their part, Israeli policymakers intend to suggest that the Arab states make certain concessions, including tho following: 1. Agree to the resettlement of Palestinian refugees In tho Arab countries, particularly in fertile regions of Syria and Iraq; 2. Halt border Incidents and violation of Israeli territory by both regular Arab armies and civilians; 3. Discontinue the boycott of Israel am resume trade relations with tho Jewish State; nnd, 4. That Efiyp permit free and unhampered navigation of the Suez Canal and the Red Sea by Israeli chipping. The Observer says that when Sec. Dulles arrives In Israel hi will be told that British surrende of military bases in the Suez Canal area, would be of "essential concern" to Israel and that Israel feels that such a devclopmenl should be conditioned on Egypt'i willingness to accept certain obll gatlons! concerning the use of these basc>,

Klutznick Stresses Importance of Israel Washington (JTA)—A plea to the great nations ol the world not to overlook Israel "where freedom and democracy have shown their strength" was voiced by Philip Klutznick, former Omahan, newly elected .president of the B'nal B'rith, addfesslng the. concluding session of the order's twentieth triennial convention. Klutznick addressed a special pica to the United States Government to persuade the Arab states to end their economic boycotts and blockades of Israel. "To preserve and strengthen Israel is to sustain hope for all oppressed people—to permit anything else Is to ravage a great concept and to create despair," Klutznick .declared. He warned that the Soviet Union sought to take advantage of differences between the Arabs and Israel and that peace in the Middle East was important to world peace and the free world. Klutznick declared that "the threat of Communism must be met and defeated on the domestic scene." He emphasized that "no less important in the category of inimical activity is any threat at official or unofficial levels against the fundamental freedoms of America. To win a battle against Communism and to lose the other against our fundamental freedoms will leave us a nation that is a shell, not a reality."
