Pompidou favors anm embargo on both sides
PARIS — Gaullist candidate for the Presidency of France, former Premier Georges Pompidou, said in an interview that he favored a general arms embargo on all belligerents in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war and that he would reconsider France's embargo policy only if it tiarned out that France has been selling arms to one of the two sides while the de Gaulle-imposed embargo is in effect.
M. Pompidou, who most public opinion polls indicate will win the Presidency by a wide margin over Acting President Alain Poher in this Simday's run-off elections, told the newspaper L'Aurore that "no country should supply any war materials or equipment to any of the belligerent parties." Replying to a question by joiumalist Serge Groussard, he specifically exempted Lebanon from any arms

"We will have to keep in mind that we will have to live peacefully as a people one day" he stated, noting that the present situation should lay a foundation for co-operation, whatever solution might be decided for the future. Dayan particularly stressed significance of the Israel-held areas as a meeting point between the two peoples. He said that

The Gaullist candidate declared that "France will always defend Israel's right to exist in full independence and security and hopes that-all countries will admit this fundamental right." He added that until this day arrives, France must do all it can to avoid a new Arab-Israeli war which could have "frightening consequences for all humanity."
Pressed about possible French arms deliveries to Arab states despite the embargo on both sides, M. Pompidou said, "I have been away from power for nearly one year now. If elected I shall study these files and should it become clear that one of the two sides has been supplied with weapons, France will reconsider her entire stand on the issue. There can be no double standard for the parties concerned."
M. Pompidou's statement was the most detailed and specific he has yet liiade on French Middle East policy.

U.S. extremists are supporting El Fatah terrorists
WASHINGTON, D.C. — El Fatah, spearhead of the Arab guerrilla warfare campaign against Israel, is receiving support — financial and other-wise^from extremists groups in the United States, the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith has revealed.
Money or propaganda, and sometimes both, have been donated to the terrorist cause, the ADL .said, since El Fatah launched its activities here early last year. Supporters include the 10,000-member Organization of Arab Students, groups on the Communist "old left," New Left radicals, and some black extremist and revolutionary organizations.
The U.S. activities of El Fatah are part of its "worldwide propaganda drive against Israel and her supporters," Arnold Forster, general counsel of the League, reported to its National Civil Rights Committee during a four-day ADL Commission
meeting here.
Mr. Forster noted that the expansion of Fatah's armed terrorism against Israel coincides with its "considerable success in mobilizing extremist support" in the U.S.
El Fatah — which has claimed "credit," directly or through subsidiary organizations, for terrorist acts both in Israel and against Israeli jetliners at European airports—headquarters its U.S. operations in the offices of the Palestine Liberation Organization (P.L.O.) in New York City. El Fatah merged with the P.L.O. in Cairo early in 1969. The office is directed, the ADL said, by Saadat Hassan, a long-time Arab propagandist intheU.S.
Until recently, the League reported, "Free Palestine", an El Fat^h monthly, was available only in England and France. Now subscriptions to the English-language edition are available
through a Washington, D.C. post office box number, (Spanish and .German editions are planned.)
The publication was distributed, Forster said at a March 7, 1969 meeting in Los Angeles, sponsoi-ed by the Arab Higher Committee, the organization headed by the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, a wartime supporter of Hitler. Issa Nakhleh, one of the Mufti group's representatives in the U.S., addressed the meeting.
Invitations had been sent to the mailing lists of the Christian Nationalist Crusade, the group directed by anti-Semite Gerald Smith, and of Western Front, which is headed by the husband of Opal White, Smith's long-time associate. Mrs. White opened the meeting and sought to raise funds to pay for the meeting room.
