*United Nations: Behind-the- scenes efforts at the
General Assembly to construct an alternative to the US
and Soviet draft resolutions on the Middle East appear
to be making only slow headway.
A committee of nonaligned states, led by India
and reportedly encouraged by the Soviets, is said to be
moving toward a resolution which would call for with-
drawal of armed forces, respect for sovereignty, and
appointment of a special UN representative to facilitate
discussions on settling other issues. Another report,
however, indicates the committee has been able to make
virtually no progress. Similar efforts by Western Euro-
pean and Latin American groups have yet to produce any-
thing definitive, and a Chilean official complained that
"most friendly delegations do not want to move rapidly."
Mediation efforts are focusing--and foundering--
on whether and how withdrawal of Israeli forces can be
linked with the other issues at stake. Eastern European
diplomats, presumably with Soviet backing, have ex-
pressed to U Thant the opinion that a solution could be
found based on withdrawal and followed by recognition of
Israel as a state and a guarantee of navigation through
the Strait of Tiran. Earlier, when queried by a US repre-
sentative whether the Arabs and Soviets expected Israeli
withdrawal to be absolutely unqualified and immediate, a
Soviet official replied, "Start with the principle."
If no agreement can be reached on a substantive pro-
posal, interest will probably turn increasingly toward a
procedural proposal which would throw the problem back
into the lap of the Security Council. U Thant has indicated
his interest; in Danish Prime Minister Krag's suggestion
that(a special UN representative be appointed to work toward
a resolution of Arab-Israeli differences. It was not clear,
however, whether Thant envisages such a representative
as a supplement to, or in lieu of, a substantive General
Assembly resolution.

French Foreign Minister Couve de Murville's
speech to the General Assembly yesterday appears to
have been an effort to restore an image of French neu-
trality, which was damaged by De Gaulle's speech two
days ago. Couve's theme was that an eventual settle-
ment of the Middle East crisis could be made only within
the framework of the major powers, and that France has
a preeminent role to play. The four-power emphasis
was also implicit in his insistence that the Security Coun-
cil, not the General Assembly, was the proper sphere
for action.

reportedly limited himself to reiterating the essence of
Soviet Premier Kosygin, according to press reports,
was "very hard" and "unresponsive" during his two-hour 25X1
meeting last night with British Foreign Secretary Brown.
When the latter urged that all efforts be made to find
practical solutions to the Middle East problem, Kosygin
his General Assembly speech last Monday.
