Sorenson Crificiies Nixon's Peace Plans for Middle East MonUcello, N. Y. (JTA) — Theodore C. Sorenson, former advisor to the late President John F. Kennedy told a B'nai Zion American Zionist fraternal organization that "the worst foreign policy mistake of President Richard M. Nixon's first year on his own in the White House may well be his effort to Americanize the pursuit of peace in the Middle East." Sorenson a d d r e s s e d the group's 60th annual national . convention here. Sorenson said that the failure to realize that "we are neither, omnipotent nor omniscient and need not be and cannot be omnipresent—this same misconception t h a t America has an obligation to be directly involved in all trouble spots if -wer-are- not to be isolationistsunderlies our present mistaken effort to have the Four Powers prepare a Middle East peace package that they have no business preparing/' He said he agreed with the Administration that "a renewal of the war in
the Middle East could possibly drag in the U.S.," but, he said, the nation's effort to negotiate a settlement for the Mideast against the wishes of Israel could not come before "our obligation to negotiate a settlement for ourselves in Vietnam." He declared that the U.S. "does have a role to play in the Middle East. We need not stand aloof and watch the status quo detcriorale. We need not rest our hopes for peace on an unstable arms race and a pattern of attack and reprisal. We can be of assistance, not by helping to prepare a Big Four (U.S., Russia, France and Britain) package—for two of the Four are not really 'so big' and their package has more liabilities than assets—but by working primarily with the Soviet Union, the one real power in the area whose interests cannot bo excluded, even while we hope to minimize, its presence, to help the parties settle this them-"

He added that Miss Anderson's fate "should at least bring home to Americans theplain fact that we cannot isolate ourselves from what happens along the Jordan River or along the Suez Canal "and. that he hoped United States negotiators and the American people would not "grow cold" to the plight of the Israelis because of their willingness to defend themselves. Rep. Hamilton Fish, Jr., an-
other New York Republican, said that the* incident requires the State Department to consider suspension of export licenses for further shipment of United States munitions to Jordan. He said the incident indicated that King Hussein had "appeased extremists" to a point where the Jordanian Government "seems no longer its own master." He said any more military aid to Jordan "must be conditioned on strict observance" by Jordan of the cease-fire agreement.
