BARKHORDARIAN IRANIAN RUG WEAVERS 333 Sutter San Francisco (415) 391-6666 WORLD WIDE DISTRIBUTORS OF PERSIAN RUGS NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) Delegates at a U.N. conference voted Thursday to condemn Israel's policies in occupied Arab territories despite protests from the United States and other Western countries. A commission of the U.N.

Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) approved the Arab and African-backed resolution 73-6 with 30 abstentions, making adoption by the full conference certain. The vote appeared certain to have unfavorable financial repercussions for UNESCO in the U.S. Congress. Israeli cultural and educational policies in occupied areas "contrary to human rights and fundamental freedoms." The commission also voted to send a fact-finding mission to the occupied territories next year. Israel, the United States and other Western countries objected to the resolution's approval before any investigation was made.

"Why has it been thought necessary to criticize Israel before a single member of the fact-finding mission has stepped inside a single school?" U.S. delegation chairman Robert B. Kamm "which tends to change the status of Jerusalem." The United States voted in favor of that resolution but Kamm said there was a difference between it and the UNESCO condemnation. The Security Council resolution opposed what the Arabs see as an Israeli effort to absorb the Gaza Strip, the West Bank of the Jordan and the Sinai desert by encouraging Israeli settlement. The UNESCO resolution specifically condemned cultural assimilation" of Arabs in the occupied territories.

The Arabs claim the Israelis are trying to eliminate the culture of the Arabs in those lands through education and other means. U.S. Rep. Albert H. Quie, who is here with the American delegation, said today's vote would make it far more difficult to persuade Congress to restore funds to UNESCO.

The United States cut off its contributions after the body barred Israeli membership in 1974. Quie said the vote could harden already strong support within Congress for the United States to withdraw entirely from UNESCO. But he said that since the body voted earlier this year to ease the way for Israel to rejoin, he believed America should remain a member. Kamm said the United States also objected to the preamble to the resolution because it gives "the status of objectively reached conclusions to mere allegations. "Finally, my government does not consider that the PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization) is an appropriate or objective source of information on Israeli education and cultural practices in occupied territories," he said.

The head of the Israeli deegation, Prof. Shlomo Avineri, said after the vote, "It now appears the Arab countries are more interested in political condemnation than in the educational situation of the population in the territories." Thursday's action came just one week after a U.N. Security Council vote branding as illegal and "an obstacle to peace" Israeli settlement in the occupied territories and any action The resolution calls asked. uunvui Britain refuses if to modify stand SPE I ALS GENEVA, Switzerland (AP) The British chairman of the stalled Rhodesia settlement talks Thursday proposed that the conference end no later than Dec. 20.

But he refused to modify Britain's stand on a deadline for obtaining majority rule for the rebel colony. Conference sources said Richard fixed the negotiating deadline in a statement he handed to militant black nationalist leaders Joshua Nkomo and Robert Mugabe in a 45-minute meeting. The two allied leaders refused Tuesday to attend any more conference sessions or discuss any other issue until chairman Ivor Richard gave in to their demand that black majority rule be granted in no more than one year by Dec. 1, 1977. Britain has said it will take at least 15 months for the 278,000 Rhodesian whites to hand power over to the 6.4 million blacks.

But it has offered to set Dec. 1, 1977, as an alternate deadline if the legal complications of the handover can be taken care of by then. Representatives of the white minority Rhodesian government have said it will take at least two years for the transition. Nkomo and Mugabe also asked Tuesday for a deadline for completing the Geneva negotiations. Sources originally said that Richard's offer Thursday morning was a new compromise on the deadline issue.

He described it as "some thoughts designed to facilitate movement at the conference," but refused to give any other information. Sources close to the black delegations said Richard refused to move from the March 1, 1978, British target date for achieving majority rule. The sources said he suggested that the issue, which has bogged down the talks for three weeks, be put aside and negotiations begin on the transitional government which will govern Rhodesia in the interim. Nkomo and Mugabe criticized Richard on Tuesday for shelving the deadline issue in bilateral talks with the other two black leaders, the Rev. Ndabaningi Sithole and Bishop Abel Muzorewa.
