envoy to the Middle 'East, also ; was in the Soviet note. Two other reports conflicted with the impasse; Washington Post writer A. D. Horne reported that some American officials believed that the Soviet reply went beyond any previous Soviet note on some points and that it was being studied for signs of "bargaining room" it was hoped Gromyko had won from Nasser. Another conflicting UN report said that the United States and the Soviet Union were near agreement pn f o r m u l a s for voluntary UN peace-keeping activities which could be applied to the Mideast. The talks were reported complete on observer missions such as the 90-man UN truce supervision organization in the M i d d l e East. Officially the talks have, been handled by a" working group of eight nations but the key talks since last fall have been those between U. S. Ambassador Maxwell Finger and Soviet envoy Lev Mandelo- • vich. The return of peace-keeping forces to the Mideast was proposed in Big Four talks at the UN and, in'the U n i t e d States-Soviet bilateral talks. A western source said at the UN that the Soviets think a new UN peace-keeping'force in the ' Mideast would help.

the draft of military chaplains." The Reform and Conservative movements have eliminated it. The " R a b b i Isaac Elchanpn Theological Seminary of Yeshiva University, where most of .the Rabbinical Council members were ordained, also has dropped the draft. The rabbis called on Orthodox rabbinical seminaries to maintain the draft of newly-ordained rabbis or to reinstitute it where it has been dropped, . '•*,.' Rabbi Segal declared that Orthodox rabbis who refuse to serve in the military as chaplains would hot be admitted to Rabbinical Council member ship, which would make it difficult for them to get pulpits. He contended that whether rabbis approve or disapprove of United States involvement in Viet Nam had no relation to the fact that young Jews need the services of their rabbis and tho need for Jewish chaplains "does not diminish because the United States is right or. wrong in be-, ing in Viet Nam." „ •
