...simple document: a meaningful peace treaty with the Arabs. But the Arabs would not deal on Israel's terms, which included face-to-face negotiations-and the terms have since been getting steadily tougher. Just how tough they have become was spelled out last week by Israeli Premier Levi Eshkol. In a major policy speech before the opening session of the Knesset (parliament), Eshkol made it plain, in case anyone has recently had any doubts, that his government has decided to hold on to most of the land...
...main action of the story, Saturday in Washington, was covered by a staff of 18. Among the marchers went Washington Correspondents Kenneth Danforth and Jerry Hannifin, as well as a group of specially recruited reporters and photographers. Some wore Levi's and suede boots, to meld more easily with the crowd, and many equipped themselves with goggles when they heard that police might employ Mace spray to check unruly demonstrators. Pentagon Correspondent John Mulliken took up his position there, later to be joined by correspondents who had been at the head of the march. Reporters Richard Saltonstall and Donn...
Israeli Premier Levi Eshkol and his Arab counterparts have one thing in common: they all find Defense Minister Moshe Dayan hard to handle. The eye-patched general, who was brought into the Cabinet over Eshkol's misgivings, thinks the Premier reacted far too slowly to the Arab threats that preceded the six-day war.

Russia, he claimed, has replaced 80% of the heavy weapons-warplanes, tanks and artillery-lost by Egypt during the fighting and has almost completely restocked Syria's prewar arsenal. "This influx of weapons has again upset the balance of power in the Middle East," said Eshkol. "It has made our position more precarious-and made it all the more important that the Western powers permit...
Rash of Terrorism. Ever since Israel's swift conquests, Premier Levi Eshkol has been under heavy pressure to permit Jews to move into and settle choice farm areas in the occupied Arab territories. He has been asked to allow 150 separate sites to be so settled, and last week he finally gave in-on one. He allowed a dozen paramilitary farm youths to reoccupy Etzion on the West Bank, sacred to Israelis as the site where four kibbutzim were wiped out in 1948 in a gallant stand that helped save Jerusalem from the Arab Legion. Fearing that the move...
