Israeli reprisals have been downplayed as the (Ciovem¬ ment lets the terrorist act imbed itself in the conr science of the intemational community and other nations, airlines and 'pUot associations began to act to stop the terrorist danger.
Intemational reaction to Ui^ Swissair sabotage has caused concern among the Arabs. Radio Jordan broadcast statements made by Yasir Arafat, leader of El Fatah, the largest terrorist organization, at a hews conference in Amman in which he denied any com¬ mando involvement in the . Swissair eiqilosion and ,said the guerriUa movement was seriously reviewing, the entire question of attacks on mtemational airliners.
Western newsmen reported from Beirut that Arab governments were putting pressure on the terrorists to stop their anti- Israel activities out-side the Mideast and confine their operations to just Israeli territory and the occupied areas. >
Observers noted that these efforts wiU face some dif¬ ficulties. A number of the more radical Arab terroi^ist movements have never been

Pompidou Greefing Cordial But Cool
WASHINGTON (WNS) - A cordial, but proper receptiori was extended to French President Georges \ Pompidou by^ American officials but demonstrations against his Govem- ment's policies often marked the American public's reception for the French leader.
Mr. Pompidou, in statements at press conferences and in meetings with American leaders, said that France sought peace in the Mideast and supported Israel's existence and security but that^Israel withdrawal from the occupied lands was necessary to end the Arab-Israeli conflict. He summed up his views in an address before a joint session of (ingress when he said:
"I reaffirm here the right of the State of Israel not only to existence but also to security and the free exercise of aU the rights of an independent and sovereign state." But he noted .that Israel's military successes were ' 'barren'' and "assured no future" for that nation^ if there Were nb ^'lastirig entente :with . the wbrld which surrounds it- entente which implies renunciation of niilitary conquest and the solution of the Palestinian problem." He said peace should come from United Nations actions "and in parti.cular.from the agreement of the four per¬ manent members of the Security Council to define and propose ttie .general conditions for a .setUeinertt and to provide .the guarantees for it." ' The position differs from the. Nixon. Administration's stand which caUs for Israeli withdrawal to come as part of a simultaneous overall settlement ^ Uiat results in agreed boundaries and other terms and that would result for bqth sides making final agreements built on the basic settlement' to be proposed by the Big Four.

Many of these tiewspapers can be found on a rack in the North Delegates Lounge here and Ambassadors keep scanning them daily. , Typical of the protesting letters is the following which seems to sum up the con¬ sensus of^^i,e,,^iters:
