Ko.sygin, in his address at the fmiTKency special session of the IJ.N. General Assemlily—which was called tipoii the insistence of the Soviet Union—demanded the withdrawal of Israel's forces from the "occupied" Aral* territories, the reimbursement of "the full cost of all it has destroyed" in Aral) lands, and "the return of the eaptured property within Hie shortest possible time" The Soviet Premier also voiced a direct threat against Israel by .stressing that early this month, leaders of the seven Communist countries had declared that their governments "would do everything necessary in order to aid the peoples of the Arab countries to tleal a firm rebuff to the aggressor, to safeguard their legitimate rights, to quench the hotbed of war in the Middle Kasl and to restore peace in that region." Elian Ki'jects Proposals Israel Foreign Minister Abba Eban. harshly castigated the S o v i e t Union following Mr. Kosygin's address. He said that the Soviet Union cannot be "(lie judge" of the present Arab Israel crisis, and had come here only to aggravate the situation instead of seeking peace. Mr. Eban rejected coiiipleltriy the U.SSR's proposals as voiced by Mr. Kosygin, for condemnation of Israel, for calling Israel the aggressor in this .month's war, and for an Assembly demand that Israel withdraw its forces to the 191!) armistice lines between Israel on the one hand and Egypt, Jordan and Syria on the other. After detailing the Arab open declarations of intentions to destroy Israel by warfare, Mr. Eban told the Assembly that the Soviet Union initiative for the convening of the current Assembly session must be judged in the context of a "sad and shocking" scries of events. Recalling that in I'M!!, when Israel was a t t a c k e d by the massed strength of the Arab countries, the Soviet Union voted in the Security Council to condemn "Arab aggression." Mr. Eban told the' Assembly that, since 1!)55, it was the Soviet Union that had enlarged and escalated the arms race in the Middle East.

By SAI.'I, CARSON United Nations N. Y'.—On the clay the war broke out between I.gspt and Isi.iel the Security Council', already debating the Middlu h.ist u i ' i \ was summoned to meet at 'J;.'!0 a.m. Belore the mornuu; was over, millions of television viewers all r _ „_-».„,, , o v p r t j l e u,,ji(.,j states and Canada saw and heard the Council's efforts to wrestle with tha problem of stopping a war. t' After Secretary-General U Tliant had read a report on the situation Israel's Ambassador Gideon Rafael was on camera. The United Nations was working in a fish-bowl. But not everything could be known to the viewers and listeners on TV and radio—or indeed to the readers of tho pi ess outdoing itself in coverage. What the wide audiences could not know was that Mr. Rafael had come very near to being silenced that morning. Saul Carson How Rafael Got to Speak The pliin for !!'•"! meeting, as Miiimuiu'ed by Denmark's Ambassador Hans' ii. Tabor, the Council president, called for adjournment immediately after the Thant report had been heard. Meticulously fair to alfsides in other respects, Mr. Tabor had agreed to a behind-the-scenes plan for keeping Mr. Rafael out of the debate at that strategic session. But Mr. Rafael did speak. How did that happen? He had gone over to Mr. Tabor and demanded that, since he had been first to call for that meeting--at 3:10 a.m. that dawn—and had put his name first on the list of speakers, he would apeak. Politely but firmly he insisted that he would be heard "inside thu United Nations or outside." In other words, if the floor were to be denied him at that point—he would deliver his speech on. television and radio. The networks would have been only too happy to "scoop" the U.N. in that manner. Mr. Tabor got the point. He revised th» plan, gave the floor to Mr. Rafael, That was only one example of the many moves here that even the saturation coverage by all the news media were likely to miss. There were many others. The Stall Soviet Russia's Dr. Nikolai T. Fedorenko. always playing tha same record about Israel's "aggression" ngainst the poor, peaceful Arabs, was doing r.o much stalling one afternoon that even Ilia most amateurish of analysts—via TV could tell there, must hava been some reason for the extraordinary amount of filibustering. But the reason could not be perceived except at the U.N. itself. Here, the reason became known. At that very time, a secret meeting of heads of state and Communist Party leaders of most of the East European states v/a* going on in Moscow—resulting, later in the day, in an all-Communist condemnation of Israel's aggression and a demand that the victorious Israel pull its troops back to points behind the l!M!l armistice lines. Those who watched the proceedings carefully on TV could tell easily that magnificent work was being done bv U.S. Ambassador Arthur J. Goldberg, supported by Britain's Lord Caradon and Canada's George Ignatieff, and with the obvious good will of the Darn in the chair who could not say very much because he had to observe presidential neutrality in the debates. Israeli Accents Outside the U.N. as well as here, there was vast admiration for Israel's team—first Ambassador Rafael; then Foreign Minist'-r Abba Eban; later, when Mr. Rafael had to go to Jerusalem for consultations, Ambassador Mordechai Kiriron. Of course the Arabs—and the Communists, including yiot only Di. Ff-dorenko but also Bulgarian's Milko Tarabanov, were displeased. These two, with the Arabs, complained against Mr. Rafael because his accent was German griped against Mr. Eban becau-.a of what they called his Oxford accent (he happens to be an honor! graduate from Cambridge), and finally against Mr. Kidron becausj his accent, too, was that of a highly-educated man in the style of Western culture—he happens to be a graduate of both the South African University and of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Israel's enemies just couldn't be pleased. Indian Hostility Some people outside the U.N. could not understand why India was so bitter against Israel. The reasons are clear. First of all, India's great Mahatma Gandhi was hostile to Zionism—as shown in published correspondence between him and the late Dr. Chaim Weizmann. Besides, it's a matter of live, present-day politics. Ind'u has r>0.000,000 Moslem, all of whom are anti-Israel and pro-Arab. Pointing up India's desire to please the Moslems was the fact that, late in the debate, Pakistan also got into the anti-Israeli act. Pakistan is, of course, an out-and-out Moslem state. U-Thnnt Missed also from the air coverage was the fact that many here had felt since Secretary General U Thant withdrew the United Nations Emergency Force he had switched from strict neutrality to a position in which he was too willing to indict Israel in his various, open reports. Nearly every one of his reports to the Security Council was filled with negative evaluations of Israel's various actions.

Just as he was in a hurry to withdraw UNEF, Mr. Thant was also in a decided rush to accede to the Russian demand for an emergency, special session of the General Assembly. Indeed,-his press officer announced—within minutes after Dr. Federenko demanded the convening of such an emergency session—that Mr. Thant was at that very moment sending telegrams to all member governments, to poll them on accepting or rejecting the Soviet demand. However, in this case, the reaction among delegates was s<» swift and angry that Mr. Thant held back on those telegrams. They • lay in his office for a full 24 hours, until the situation came to a head by the Security Council's rejection of the Soviet resolution for condemnation of Israel and for a demand that Israel pull back its troops immediately from Egypt, Syria and Jordan. Mr. Thant finally sent those wires. Had he been less hurried, he would have heard even at that point that not all delegations agreed with his interpretation of the Charter and the rules of procedure regarding such a move. Legally, that issue was thoroughly confused. Within one minute, two top-ranking diplomats from tha same country gave this correspondent opinions on that score that were diametrically opposed. One said: "absolutely illegal." Th« other, a noted international attorney, said "It's perfectly legal; there was nothing else Mr. Thant could have done, in accordance with the Charter." At any rate, the debate raged on—and on—and on. Not only openly on television, but behind the scenes a3 well. As of this writIng, and for a long time to come, the talkathon continues. .

Oy Mickey Gerelick While reports from Israel have dominated iill news media in recent weeks, there lias been a void which could not hi- lilled by objective news reporting. AH of us have been curious, beyond the [acts iiml ligures of events, to know on a personal level, the reactions of individuals in Israel to ()»• events of recent weeks. Three such reactions have been made available to the Jewish Pro;;:; in the form of letters received by people we know here, from people1 tliev know there. My thanks to the people involved ior permitting those- letters to be shared with the readers ol the Jewish Piers. * * * Ovetl 1).

III. My dear Sam. You have- hc-eii in my thoughts all these trying days. Yesterday, when our young lions, the flowers ol new Israel, opened the Kates of the City of David, we felt that two thousand years of Jewish history epithomiml in this great moment. When the flag of.Zion was hoisted over the Temple Mount, the dreams of generations came true in this hour, and it is hard to believe. In (he annals of world wars (here was not a war M> great in its strategic planning, so niagniliseenl in its achievements as this war (hat was Suited upon o»r small ami great nation. The determination, the spirit and the dedication of our l,oys. who were ready to sacrifice the most preiifiis thing to a human being—his life, stimulated them to defend the land of Israel, the hopes of its people and the honor of the Jews. They did it, well and alone. Now we feel how Vdmlerful it is to be a Jew, when these are the children of Israel. Jerusalem, the City of David, )• ours and our years long yearnings and prnytis that Hit* Temple will be rebuilt, is no more Utopia. We Know thai (here will he political bargaining like in a lisli market, but the people of Israel lire determined this time to defend the fruits of (heir victory. U'e have liberated (he occupied jiaris of Israel and thei'e is no power in the uorld who will make us give away one inch of (he hills of .fudea and Ephraim. find- is wilh us and we shall not fear.

Dear Cousins: What we have gone through here, you can easily imagine. Despite the fact that the war i-nly lasted a few days and we now have, thank (lod, for the first time a cease fire on all fronts, the tension lasted some weeks and one had not the heart to keep up correspondence even with ones nearest and dearest. Only a believer could have appreciated (he miracle (hat happened to us In a few days in Israel, for had we not won this war; I do not iliinit there would have been a single Jew left IIITC in Israel.'This was really a miracle from Heaven, but as you realize, every achievement brings its own responsibility, and the price we have had to pay has been very heavy indeed. There was no alternative: It was either fighting or allowing ourselves to be exterminated. Only 16 have been in Shul yesterday nnd to see the thanksgiving to the Almighty for His great Mercy was something to live for. , As I write these lines my heart is full of joy for our great victory nnd full of sorrow for the heartbroken mothers who have lost their song. Only the Almighty can comfort them wjth 'Naclias from what is left of their-other children for the courage and bravery of their wonderful boys. 0. 13,' Schremcr Is a ham radio operator In Uracl.

Mr. Meyerson.' W. li. L, Iowa 1)( ai' Mr. Meyerson, I address this Idler to you in person mainly ior its first part, which I believe will be of some personal interest to you. Though Ihis is meant to he a technical letter, I feel that a letter coining irom Jerusalem these days cannot skip a note on the current historical events which took place. I refer ol course to the reconquer ol the Old City of Jerusalem and redeeming the Kotel Ha'Maiifiivi (THE WAILING WALLl back to Jewish hands. I can't recall a greater significance, a greater experience than that, of seeing again the wailing wall, the only remanant ol our glorious Temple. One can't believe his own eyes, seeing fighting-commando soldiers—who fought like lions just few hours before, throwing liaml-groiiailos, firing (heir lizzies (die Israeli light autumalic Kim) in noise and smoke and fire—frying now like children in joy approaching the Wall. My job had to do with communication. I cannot speak much about my particular job, for obvious reasons. It was certainly rough, dangerous and hell-like. We are, thank God. victorious. Hope we are approaching a new era of peace in this country. Kverylliing went so fast! and this Has a real war. Let us not underestimate these events. No doubt, this was the "second round" on which our neighbors were speaking all these years since the war of Independence. Now Israel is three times larger th/m ii was before the war broke. We have our population increased by another one million of Arabs. No more.-may the Arab Representatives at the U.N. speak about the problem of the Palestinian refugees, as these people are now with us in Israel. The Arab refugees who were settled in the Gaza strip and in the Jordanian part of Palestine arc now within the borders of Israel—the enlarged borders, I mean. Tomorrow I intend taking my children to see the wailing wall. They know about it from their schooling, their books and old photographs only. Today, however, this is in our hands. There is a feeling ot being reborn everywhere in Israel. A <;rent change lias taken place in our lives this last week, no doubt. "Hayinu Ke'IIoImin"—we were like dreamers, to use the words of the Psalms. Well, well, lets turn to our point. Upon return home from the duty, I was extremely happy to find that I received a brand new Deiux Accessory Console of your make. The unit, bought at Harrisons of New York as I learn from the label on the box, was presented to me by two families from New York for having arranged for their daughters to say hello on a phone' patclr the night before the. war broke open. They were very much worried, and this communication meant far more than an ordinary hello, and regards. So they got this console and have sent it by'air—which must have cost thorn a.fortune, I'm sure. (The balance of Mr. Schrcmor's letter discussed technical business of radio equipment.) * - * * Probably (he least emotional, most impersonal, yet most imlicilivc of the spirit of the people of Israel was (he public relations teller Bob and I received (bis week from (lie sales manager of the Tel Aviv Hilton Hotel. * * * Dear Mr. and Mrs. Gerelick: It was such a pleasure to have you with us during these historical days. We very much appreciate the fact that you decided to hold the convention here in spile of (lie situation. We do hope you enjoyed your stay at the Tel Aviv Hilton and were able to overlook some lapses in the service which might have occurcd because so many of our personnel were away. We certainly wanted to give you the warmest hospitality and service we could. Sincerely hope your meeting was successful and we are very much looking forward to seeing you buck again soon. •

No niention of war—other than to apologize for lapses in the service because "so many of our personnel were away." Now the military war is over and in true Israeli fashion the Sales Manager of the Tel Aviv Hilton, in a simple business letter makes a first attempt at the tremendous task now facing the people of Israel— to pick up the pieces of a broken economy and make it function again. Thank you Mr. Damon of the Tel Aviv Hilton. Thank you Ior your spirit and your concern that we might have been inconvenienced by your war. Thank you for your invitation to return. God willing, we will return one day soon. Amen.
Editor's Note: Hundreds of phone calls to ABC Radio Network stations were received requesting transcripts of closing remarks made by Alex Dreier during his 10-inimile news and commentary broadcast on Friday, June !), as the Middle East war was raging. The following is the text of those comments. * * * "And tonight in the context of our time we pose a question and offer an answer . . . liie iiuesiion "What is a Jew?" We think we know whether he calls himself an Israelite . . . A German . . . A Russian . . . or an American. He is a man with a special kind of backbone that has been tempered by travail and strengthened and hardened by an unrelenting determination to be free. And because he is free and he is strong, every Jew stands taller and prouder today than at any time in (he history of recorded man. "What is a Jew . . . a tired old man squinting his watery eyes, as he bends over needle and thread in the corner tailor shop in an American city. A tall sunbronzed young zealot wording in a kibbutz in Israel, a gifted musician performing in an European symphony orchestra . . . a n ordinary family man with, no medals or high, water marks in his life. But yet, each is different from his fellow man ann for thousands of years that difference has meant the difference between survival and death. "To me a Jew is a special kind oi man whatever his race . color . . . or religion. A man who lias learned the bitter art of survival and the ability to endure adversities with dignity. A man who has dared to be different when the cost of differences were sometimes life itself . . . But he is no member of a super-race and for dark periods in history men who thought they were members of the super-race believed he could be exterminated. I sat in rooms as a foreign correspondent in the blnckeil-out hole oi Berlin during World War II ami talked with members of the once supposed super-race who thought'to practice genocide against the people much older and wiser than themselves. And as they mechanically mouthed philosophical insanities, that had been programmed into them by a madman, I, , . . a Hawaii-born American Catholic of German-American heritage, mentally and morally became a Jew. "Yes, in spirit I did, for to me a Jew becanie more than just a member of a particular minority group in a specific place and in a specific time . . . He became a cause and it had a name: "Freedom," Freedom of the individual spirit to express itself according to the dictates of its own conscience. "Today the wandering Jew, wanders no more. Nor does he wonder who he is or what he is. He stands like a beacon light in a world that has often been darkened by the shame of racial and religious hatred. He glows inwardly and outwardly with a knowledge that while he is imperfect, like al! his fellow man, he has given the world an historic lesson in survival. "Survival with dignity . . . courage . . . confidence . . . and grace. Whether intellectual prince or peasant .today's Jew has done what millions before him have tried but could not do: He has proved to the world that to be a Jew is still something special and something different . . . but the artificial inferiority complex that was laminated on his psyche by centuries of oppression is gone forever. It was blasted away by the rise of Israel. A. \my staVe in a vast hostile land, that seems to be all muscle but has left room for much heart. "And yet this same" home that beckons the homeless from all over the world, continues to hold out against its historic enemies, friendship with one hand while it clings to its rifle with the other. And it is our view that it is the hand that offers friendship and not the hand that holds the rifle that eventually vi\U end.the ewvent troubles in the Middle East. "Today's strong . , . proud . . . determined . . . and free Israel is more united than ever before and it belongs not to the Jews alone but to all the world. Because in our view, it is a flesh and blood statue of liberty. And it is in this context that we salute nnd honor Israel. To say as a proud American, acutely aware of his nation's bloody battles for survival, we recognize you Sor what you are . . . a brother in an imperfect world, striving for what we all strive for . . . The dignity of all men . . . in their inherent right to be free. ' "Israel has caught the torch of liberty and to her we say hold it high and let no force on earth ever dim its light . . . much less extinguish its flame.
