But the alternative to negotiation is confrontation, and the alternative to talking is to return to the cold war where there would be no influence whatsoever of the United States on their policies, or theirs, on ours, where they might come into, armed confrontation," he said. The President stressed that it is not a simple task to bring about an era of peace to the Mideast.

"But we do know we must try we must begin. There have been four wars in a generation here, and unless we change the situation some way, somehow, there will be another war; and each one is terribly costly to the nations involved and potentially very dangerous to the peace of the world." Nixon observed that the greatest challenge lies in the Mideast, where civilization began, "but also FRIGIDAIRE APPLIANCE SPECIALISTS (lorgeif Selection In Town) REFRIGERATORS RANGES WASHERS DRYERS AIR CONDITIONERS FREEZERS BUILT-IN OVENS.

LOUIS' 010EST FIIGI0A1RE DEALER cern, your deeds in support of our defense and freedom have contributed greatly to the strength of Israel to defend herself through her own efforts. And a strong Israel is in itself a component of the peace and stability in our area to which your mission is dedicated." President Nixon, before replying to Katzir's toast, rose and saluted another dais guest Golda Meir. "I've had the privilege over the past 27 years to travel to over 80 countries," he began. "I've met most of the world leaders. I've also had a chance, as president, to meet, talk to and evaluate most of the leaders on the current scene.

And I can say to this audience gathered in the Knesset, in Israel, that no leader I've met, no president, no king, no prime minister or any other leader, has demonstrated greater courage, greater intelligence, greater stamina, greater determination and greater dedication to her country than Golda Meir." In his response to Katzir, Nixon said that he is convinced that what motivates the majority of world leaders is a desire to have progress within their countries and a recognition that without peace, there cannot be sustained progress. "It takes a different kind of courage to wage peace. It requires risks, just as war requires risks," he said. "And the stakes are high, just as they are in war." He noted that his dialogue with the Soviet Union has been subjected to some rather sharp criticism. "It also contains risks for us, APlff7J58 W'1 Of Anti-Semitic Radio Show NEW YORK A B'nai B'rith Anti-Defamation League survey has revealed that some 126 radio stations around, the country are carrying This Is Liberty Lobby, a daily extremist program controlled by a professional organizer of anti-Jewish groups and publications.

In addition to the current outlets, the league said, a recent contract signed with the Mutual Broadcasting System will make the program available to Mutual's network of more than 600 stations. In making the survey public, Lawrence Peirez, chairman of ADL's national civil rights committee, said Willis A. Carto, "an outspoken anti-Semitic," is "the unpublicized force" behind This Is Liberty Lobby, a five-minute broadcast carried by most of the stations on a paid basis, but on some as a public service. Carto is the founder and boss of Liberty Lobby, a 16-year-old Washington-based propaganda and lobbying organization which has become one of the most active and best financed groups on the American far right. Commenting on the new Mutual Broadcasting System tie-in, Peirez said, "The contract hardly came as a surprise since Mutual's principal owners, Mr.

and Mrs. Benjamin D. Gilbert, have contributed thousands of dollars to Liberty Lobby since 1966." John Goldwater, chairman of the league's national fact-finding, committee which conducted the survey, cited This Is Liberty Lobby broadcasts during and immediately following the Arabs' October aggression against Israel as "typical" of the program's point of view. He noted "daily attacks" on Israeli and American jews during that period, including descriptions of Israel by the program's commentator Bob Bartell as "a bastard state," charges that American Jews are subversive and disloyal, and use of terminology "scraped" from the garbage cans of professional hate-mongers." In one program, Goldwater declared, "Writings of the notorious anti-Semite, Robert H. Williams," were used to libelous statements against the ADL itself.

He identified Bartell, the commentator, as also being president of Tax Action, another of Carto's groups. Pointing out that "America First, a blatantly anti-Semitic Liberty Lobby pamphlet," is offered at the conclusion of each This Is Liberty Lobby broadcast, Goldwater questioned whether the managements and licensees of the program's radio outlets are ignorant of its contents or "uncaring about their role in helping to peddle bigotry." In the Missouri-Illinois area, the program is heard over radio stations WEAW and WTAQ in Chicago; WGIL in Galesberg, WJOL in Joliet, WPEO in Peoria, KDMO in Carthage, and KOPN-FM in Columbia, Mo.

FELDMAN Light's Whltm Hout WrUr (EDITOR'S NOTE: Trude B. Feldman, Jewish Light White Home writer, was on the presidential trip to the Middle East Following is another article in a series in which she is relating details of President Richard M. Nixon's historic 25-hour visit to Israel.) JERUSALEM Israeli President and Ephraim Katzir hosted a state dinner in honor of U.S. President and Mrs. Richard M.

Nixon in the Knesset building. It was the first state dinner held in the Knesset's Chagall Hall, which was lavishly decorated with bouquets of flowers. The 32 dais guests sat under the Chagall wall tapestry, displaying Moses holding the tablets and King David, his harp. Other guests sat at 36 smaller tables, each with eight people. They included members of the present and past Israeli governments, Knesset members, chief rabbis, members of the Supreme Court and Diplomatic Corps, heads of national institutions and Moslem and Christian dignitaries.

A number of visiting American Jewish leaders, active in fund-raising for Israel, were not invited to the glittering affair. American correspondents of the Jewish faith and those representing Jewish publications not only were not invited, but were barred. "We don't need them. They already like and support Israel," Israeli hosts explained. Israeli protocol and the Foreign Ministry handled the seating arrangements for the festivities so poorly that President Nixon had no one to talk with for over 15 minutes.

He was seen staring into space. His boredom was later the talk of the town. After dining on Dan River trout, President Katzir proposed a toast to President Nixon by recalling that Israel's history records that the first country to welcome her back into the family of sovereign nations literally five minutes after her declaration of independencewas the United States. "From that day to this, a fabric of friendship has become closely interwoven between our peoples," Katzir said. "Your presence here is a magnificent personal expression of that understanding and friendship, making this an exalted moment in the history of the American-Israeli relations.

You come to an ancient land, to Jerusalem, City of David, whose Jewish memories run 4,000 years deep. You come to a small people, poorly endowed in geography, but alive with passion of creation. And whilst the differences between our countries in size and age are great, this hasn't hindered the intimacy of our peoples. This is surely so because our human purposes as nations rest upon deep affinities of ideals and experiences." Katzir added. that Israel and the United States also share a common heritage of pioneering of the arduous fight against nature, of pushing back deserts and marsh, of sacrificing in order to build and sow and reap.

"Our geographies differ vastly, but not the spirit of our pioneering tradition rooted in the imagery of the Hebrew prophecy of men who 'went into the wilderness, in the land that was not sown Katzir told Nixon that he had left no stone unturned in his pursuit of universal peace. "Under your leadership, the United States has written an impressive new chapter in the diplomatic chronicles of our times. Your visit to our region' dramatically illustrates your determination to advance the cause of reconciliation." The Israeli president noted that the American people had much to do with the drama of Israel's rebirth. "I must make mention of the Jewish community of the United States with whom we share profound ties of faith and spiritual attachment, a community mat has generously assisted us in meeting the welfare needs of our homecoming people," he said. "True friendship is tested in times of trial, and you, Mr.

President, have demonstrated this magnificently. Your understanding, your con- ELECT SIDNEY RUBIN MAGISTRATE JUDGE 2ND MAGISTRATE DISTRICT ST.
