WASHINGTON (JTA) -
King Hussein of Jordan reiterated last week that the
Palestine Liberation Organization must be a participant'
in Middle East peace negotiations but indicated thatto
do so the PLO must abandon
lis terrorist activities.
"It is obvious for the PLO
to participate in a peace process in the future ... then
they obviously have to determine what action they have
to take to enable them to
play their part," Hussein
'•aid in an.appearance from
Amman on NBC-TV's "Meet
I lie Press" program.
While Hussein was vague
about his most recent talks
with PLO chief Yasir Arafat,
he said they did discuss the
' recent "cycle of violence" in
the Middle East which ,the
King said included the murder of three Israelis in Cyprus, the Israeli raid on PLO
headquarters in Tunis, the
hijacking of the Achille
Lauro and the PLO refusal to
sign a statement in London
which led to the cancellation
of talks between the British'
and a joint Jordanian-PLO
delegation.
Hussein said that "our mutual view" is that these
events represented "setbacks" in which the Palestinians were "adversely affected more than any other."
He indicated that Jordan ex
pected some agreements on
a future course from the
PLO. "I am expecting some
answers soon,'-' Hussein
said.
At the same time, Hussein
stressed that Jordan "cannot" substitute for the
Palestinians" in. negotiations. "The PLO has been
recognized since 1974-as the
sole legitimate representative of the people of Palestine," the King said, a reference to the Arab summit

conference in Rabat, Morocco.
Hussein denied reports
that there have been meetings between Israeli and Jordanian officials on a preliminary agreement for the
West Bank. He also rejected
Israeli Premier Shimon
Peres' call for a meeting
with him.
He said the means for
achieving a "comprehensive
peace" is through an inter-
national   conference
"ideally" called by the
United Nations Secretary
General and including the
five permanent members of
the Security Council. When
Israel's objection to the Soviet Union's participation,
since it has no diplomatic relations with Jerusalem, was
noted, Hussein replied that
for "balanced relations" in
the Middle East by the superpowers it requires the
U.S. to also have relations
with the Palestinians.

Anti-Semitism Emerges During Strike
In Uruguay
NEW YORK (JTA) — The emergence of anti-Semitism in a
strike at a Jewish-owned leather factory in Paysandu, Uruguay, has aroused the country's Jewish community, the Anti-
Defamation League of B'nai B'rith reported. According to
ADL, posters mounted on the entrance gates and on the walls
of the factory carried such anti-Semitic slogans as "Hitler
was right: Too bad he is not here." The Central Jewish Committee of Uruguay called upon the nation's unions and union
leaders to denounce this injection of anti-Semitic and pro-
Nazi propaganda into a dispute between labor and management.
