JERUSALEM West Bank public figures recentlyTejected an Egyptian invitation to visit Cairo in order to discuss the future of the West Bank and East Jerusalem, it was reported in Maariv. If was revealed that the invitation, conveyed to leading Arab personalities on the West Bank and in East Jerusalem, came from. Egyptian diplomats stationed in Western Europe, in an attempt to increase the participation of West Bank residents in their future.
The West Bank and East Jerusalem figures rejected the invitation because they felt the Israeli autonomy plan does not sufficiently deal with their needs. Jsraeli sources, however■ noted that while there is little support for the plan among West Bank personalities, implementation of it will alter the negative stand assumed by many of the West Bankers till noW.

N.Y:KILLERS JAILED
NfEW YORK - Two Israeli diamond cutters, Shlomo Tal, 31, and I^ini Balabin, 29, have been Jailed.by a Ne^ York coiirt for/25 years ~ the maximum sentence — for the murder of Pinchos Jarosla^ wicz, 25, an Orthodbx Jewish dia-
sion to investigate Israeli-sponsored educational and cultural facilities in the >yestBank, Gaza and "occupied Jerusalem."
The Isr^li delegation had earlier said that Israel will not allow another UNESCO mission to investigate inside ISriael and Israeli Administered territories. -
The Israeli stand was ftpheld by the Ckhadian delegate, Yvon Beaiil-nci who said "the resolution is so harsh as to make it virtually impossible for Israel to carry out."
M'Bow admitted to the conference that he withheld a report of a ; previous mission sent to investigate educational conditions in Israel. He said the six-member mission returned with five reports and a covering letter from its chief, Paul Marc : Henry. M'Bow said he did not release Henry's letter because it was
"mainly political," adding: ,
"For two years UNESCO has been harangued and attacked for having become a political organization. The same people who attacked us then, attack us now because I did not submit a paper that had a definite political coloration. Political matters are for the United Nations not for UNESCO." • ^
M'Bow concluded: "Never have I approached this matter from a political standpoint"
The United States and most Western delegations had supported earlier .Israeli accusations charging M'Bow with having edited pro^Is-raeli findings out of the report.
These delegations privately said after the Director General's speech that they were not satisfied with his explanations.
EGYPTIANS SUPPORT UN. ANTI-ISRAEL RESOLUTION
JERUSALEM — An official gov-: ernment source here expressed shock and disappointment over Egyptian support of the Arab-sponsored draft resolution adopted in the United Na-: tions General Assembly's political committee which called for a mandatory arms embargo against Israel.
The vote for the draft was 68^^24 with 32 abstentions.
The United States, the European -Economic Community countries and Israel were among the countries that voted aginst the draft resolution.
Wiesenthal
intervened on his behalf. , .
"The guilt of the Nazi helpers in the occupied territories, especially the Eastern countries, is, in ray opinion, greater Jhan the guilt of the (German) Nazis," Wiesenthal said.
"They were perfect criminals; they we're voluntary. They were living in the same places as the victims, going to the same schools, knew each other. Sometimes they Had common businesses and in the end they had a profit from the profiteers."
"During the Cold War in the 1950s," he continued, "these people entered the U.S. and now they are in America. For me, there is not any doubt that these people are guilty."
The source said that Egypt's hypocritical behavior and ability to identify with declarations whose intentions are to destroy Israel were beyond logic.
He added thalthe draft is diametrically opposed to the Camp David accords and to Article VI in the peace treaty which establishes that the Israeli-Egyptian treaty takes precedence over any past treaties or agreements that either coiintry may
have entered into with respect to the Middle East conflict.
Governmental circles; meanwhile, stated that the committee's adoption of the draft resolution again proves the UN's domination by elements which seek to disrupt peacein the Middle East.
They noted, however, thejmpres-sive number of countries which abstained- or opposed it.
FORMER NAZI BACKED AS GERMANY PRESDBir
