Phantom
Sales
Urged
WASHINGTON, (JTA) — The Senate Foreign Re- .lations Committee incorpor¬ ated into the Foreign,Aid Bni an amendment calling upon the President to sell supersonic planes to tiie State of IsraeL The action, in response to State Depart¬ ment pressure, eliminated a House-aivroved amoidment to the bill which called upoi^ Oie President to sell 50 Phantom jetfigMer-bombers tolsrael.
Tho new wording stated that "it is the sense ofthe Congress that die'President' should take such steps as may be necessary as soon as ^ practicable...to negotiate an, agreement with the Govern¬ ment of Israel iprovlding for the sale by the United Sta¬ tes of such number of su- perscmic planes as may be necessary to provide Israel witb an adequate deterrent force capable of preventing Aiture Arab aggression by . .offsetting sopblsttcatedwto- > pons received by the Arab states and to replace losses suffered bgr Israel inthe 1967 eonlUct."
ALTHOUGH tbe substitute wording elimimted jr efer- enoo; t6~ ihe; Pbaniam jet fig^itar-bombers, it, did re¬ fer spedfically to "super- sonicV aircraft. The Doiig> las Skyliawlc jets provided to Israd under a previous agreeinent are subsonic and obsolescent. No supersonic military jets have been sold to Israel by the U., Sw Tbe SkibstltutioD had the.effect of lessening the strength of tiie Boose wordingi^cbsaid that the President "shall" sell the Phantoms to Israel. Tbe new phrasing indicated to tbe Executive Department, however, tiiat the.Congress wanted the President topro- vide supersonic jets to Is¬ rael at an early date. The measure addedmomentumto the campaign for the sale of the SO Phantoms squgbt by Israel.

At the same time President Johnson recalled "tlie strong links which have existed between my country and the Hebrew University since the day of its founding by Dr. Chaim Weizmann."
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (WNS) Secretary-General U Thant, who several months ago interpreted a re¬ solution to investigate "humanitarian" conditions in the Middle Et^st as intended to, cover the Jewish situatton in the Arab countries, is now of tlie opinion that the "humanitarian" resolution adopted by the Security CouncU and the General AssemUy did not envisage an examination of the Jewish plight in the Arab countries since tlie Six Day War.
NEW YORK (WNS) A Negro Uack power advocate whose writings have been called "black Nazism" has been named by New York University to a high post. This development emerged when It was disclosed that John F.

Intense Activity In 'Hifacic' Case
-'?'^,'
JERUSALEM, (JTA) — Intense Israeli diplomatic activHy apparently led Al¬ gerian authorities to a de¬ cision to release the Israeli women and childrendetained in Algiers after theb: EI Al Boeing was hijacked during a Rome-Lydda flight and forced down at Algiers air¬ port.
Algerian authorities im¬ mediately released 20 of the passengers they believed to be non-Israelis and flew them to Paris. But the 10 crew, members and eight other pas.seiigers were detained, as was the six million dol¬ lar Boeing jetiiner. The plane was reportedly taken over by Arab terrorists who as¬ saulted the co-pilot and threatened the ^ssengers. INITIALLY Algerian sour¬ ces were quoted as assert¬ ing that since a state of, belligerence was in effect. .between Algeria and Israel,. '^Algei'&'Jmlgfit Mniiiider'tlie Israelis enemy natimalsand' tbe plane as enemy proper¬ ly. But there wa& no ofQc¬ ial statement to that effect. In Paris, the Algerian For¬ eign Minister, Abdel Ziz- BoutefUda, said itwas "nor¬ mal" that Algeria intended
Nasser is Denounced
JERUSALEM, (JTA) — Foreign Minister Abl» S. Eban charged that President Nasser of Egypt had proidd- ed a "brutally dear ani conclusive picture" of Egyp¬ tian policy wiiich was one of "totally unreserved and un¬ compromising opposition to peace." Mr. Elan's ap¬ praisal of tiie speech made in Cairo tiy tiie Egyptian President to the congress of his Arab Socialist Union Party was made in a state¬ ment made public here bythe Foreign Ministry.
In his 90-minute speech, Mr. Nasser ruled out pos¬ sibilities of a peaceful set¬ tiement of the Arajb-Israeii dispute and pronttsed re¬ capture of the territories occupied by Israel last year "even if we have to sacri¬ fice a martyr for each inch."
HE &AUTIONED his fol¬ lowers, however, against a premature resumption of hostilities before the Arab forces were fUIIy ready for renewal of hostilities and said that "our ttoops are working day and nig^" to prepare themselves.
"The speech by President Nasser is an event of great internatianal^ significance," Mr. Eban declared. "It pro- -Wdes a brutaUy clear and conclusive picture of UAR policy. It i& a policy of total unreserved and uncompro¬ mising opposition to peace. The policy of the UAR is a flagrant violation of the Unit¬ ed Nations Charter and ofthe basic principles of interna¬ tional law."
to wait to determhie the "ins-and-outs of this affair before defining its position." He added that, as a so¬ vereign nation, Algeria re¬ spected "intemational mor¬ ality" which he said would t'write an end to tills at- tahr." There were other re¬ ports that the incident had seriously embarrassed the Boumedlenne regime which was under sharp and mount¬ ing criticisms for its role in the Iiljacldng.
DIPLOMATIC observers here responded to the re¬ port that Algeria would re¬ lease the women and child¬ ren passengers vdth expres¬ sions of concern that this meant tlie Algerians intend¬ ed to keep the men for alon- ger.period. It was indicated that Israel would oppose any piecemeal release of the de- , tained Israelis "Who, it was .,asserted,.sboUld-aU"be set firee' in accordance with in¬ ternational law and customs.
Israel meaiiwiiile intensi¬ fied its diplomatic efforts. Foreign Minister Abba Eban called in Italian Ambassador Aldo Plerantoni andexplain- ed the importance of Italian InteryenUon in view of the fact that the hijacking took place in Italian airspace.
ISRAELI security officials were reported to be in pos¬
session of all details about the three hijackers, includ¬ ing their identities. The of¬ ficials also w^e understood to know .the hijaclcers places of origin and the hotels they stayed at prior boarding tiie -jetiiner. El Al officials re¬ ported that, far firom a drop in passenger bookings, tra«   ^ velers were seeldng El Al > reservations and were dis¬ appointed liecause ttiey were   ^,, shifted to other airlines be¬ cause of overbooking.
At the United Nations, Is¬ raeli ambassador JoEief Te¬ koah met with Dr. Ralph Bun¬ dle, the undersecretary for special polttical affairs, who is acting on belialf of va¬ cationing Secretary-General U Thant. 'An Israeli source said that Thant was being kept informed on tlie hijack- i ing and that he fdt that all UN resources Iiad not yet been exhausted in seeking re- -tum of t& BotaiiAg^aadits ^ detained passengers and crew.
HOWEVER, Dr. Bunche   ^, was reported to be concern-  -.> ed that the eidspde might cause a setback to the lilid- dle East peace mission of   ^ Dr. Gunnar Jarring, who cal-   k led on Tekoah daring tiie week. The July president of the Securily Coundl is Algeria's representative to the UN, Tewfik Bouattoura.
