Geneva (JTA) - United Nations Secretary General U Thant is trying to dispel a growing impression that the peace mission of UN mediator Dr. Gunnar V. Jarring may have been superceded by U.S. Secretary of State William P . Rogers' current Middle East dip-, lomacy. Responding to reports that he and Jarring agreed at a meeting here last week to suspcn.d the Jarring mission at least temporarily until the results of Rogers' present Mideast tour can be assessed, Thant told newsmen that the latest Rogers initiative was intended primarily to help Dr.. Jarring,continue with his mission. : Thant said.that the Swedish diplomat who is currently back at his ambassadorial post in Moscow would return to New . York in mid-May. "We both agree that, although there is at present no real basis for Ambassador Jarring's immediate return to New York, it will be desirable for him to be in New ' York for a short period about the middle of May for further , exchange of information and views." Asked by reporters this week If this was because Secretary Rogers was attempting to get a partial agreement between Israel and Egypt to reopen the Suez Canal and'there was consequently no need for Dr. Jarring to enter the picture, Thant replied that he and Dr. Jarring did not have in mind "any parjticular/activity Qf^any particular government'.' i,; .- •, < ] , '., TlignJ; stresses}; |hat, Roger^',,. ;»•!<«
Israel had to fight back. "I lay this groundwork ba« cause this is the crux of the situation today," Mr. Humphrey said. "This is why Israel is proceeding cautiously and prudently as all of us discuss her future. Israel is not talking in terms of theory today, she is talking in terms of history. People do not forget suffering and Israel does not . want to have to relive her history. Israel wants peace, but it must be a secure peace," Humphrey concluded.
Hubert Humphrey: "Israel must survive."

try for an interim arrangement was exclusively an American initiative, although, he said, the U.S. government has-briefed him on it. He said that he had been "briefed fully" by the A m c r i c a n U N Ambassador, George Bush, before he went to Geneva and that Rogers assured him personally when they met in Costa Rica two weeks ago that "the efforts of the United States government in bringing about agreement regarding the Suez Canal were directed primarily to help Ambassador Jarring's efforts." Asked if Rogers' visit to the Mideast might interfere with Dr. Jarring's mission, Thant said .the U.S. government as-
sured him that its overall purpose was to help Dr. Jarring promote a settlement within the framework of the Security Council's Resolution 242.: Ha said his own personal assessment would have to await Rogers' return, Asked if he had any reason to believe that the situation will be better for peace- in mid-May than now,' Thant said he felt only that there might -be some develop; ments in the'next week or two' that would justify further consultations between himself and Dr. Jarring in New York. ' Thant conceded that the Jarring talks are presently at an Impasse but said he did not "want to apportion blame to any party." •
