UNITED NATIONS (UPI) -
Palestine leader Yasser Arafat,
in an unprecedented appear
ance before the U.N General
Assembly, called today for the
establishment of a Palestinian
National Authority and said
that "war starts in Palestine
and peace starts in Palestine."
Arafat, under the heaviest
guard in the history of the
United Nations, received a
standing ovation when he
appeared before the assembly
wearing his black and white
checked Arab headdress and
his customary khaki uniform
The seats of the Israeli
delegation in the front row
were empty
Death
threats from the
militant Jewish
Defense League
led federal. New York City and
UN guards to take the
strictest precautions. Arafat
flew in from Algiers before
dawn today and was flown to
the towering 38-floor UN glass
skyscraper by a U.S Army
helicopter
Outside the United Nations
hundreds of Jews began gather-
ing for a demonstration Police
held the first arrivals behind
baricades but many more were
marching toward the U.N
Plaza
Excerpts from Arafats' 35-
page English text were made
available to United Press
International in advance of his
noon address
Arafat said in the text that
the PLO will demand the
following three objectives at
this juncture:
Self determination for the
Palestininan people
The right to return to their
homeland
The establishment of a
Palestinian National Authority
over Palestinian territory
"from which Israeli occupation
is removed."
A PLO spokesman said that
the Palestinian leadership ap-
proved the text before Arafat’s
arrival at the U.N
’When we speak of our
common hopes for the Palestine
of the future," Arafat said, "we
include in our spirations all the
Jews now living in Palestine
and who accept to live with us
in peace and without distinction
or discrimination in the land of
Palestine
War starts in Palestine and
peace starts in Palestine
"In my < apacity as chairman
of the PLO and leader of he

Palestinian revolution. I call
upon on each and every Jew to
reconsider the past where
Zionism and Israeli leadership
will lead them, namely to the
abyss which ends up in
continued bloodshed and con-
tinued war.”
We ask you to opt for the
broad choice away from the
attempts of your leadership to
instill in you the spirit of
Massada," said Arafat “We
offer you a most generous
alternative: that we live
together in a framework of a
just peace in a democratic
Palestine.”

GM announces
more closings
UPI Business Writer
General Motors today an-
nounced the temporary closing
next week of three compact car
plants idling an additional 7,175
workers, and the coal strike
added a recessionary push to
the nation's slowing economy.
The Ford administration
conceded for the first time
Tuesday that the economy was
entering a recession.
The new GM layoffs, for at
least one week starting Mon-
day, reflect sagging car sales
and are not directly related to
the strike by the nation's
120,000 miners. But auto indus-
try spokesmen said a prolonged
strike would exhaust the coal of
its suppliers and bring auto
output to a standstill.
The new layoffs bring to
42,475 the number of GM
workers idled temporarily or
indefinetly. Ford Motor has
idled 11,475 and Chrysler 21,400.
The nation’s economy was
beginning to feel the initial
effects of the coal strike.
Endorsements
The board this morning en-
dorsed two major proposals
facing the city. The board voted
to endorse and work toward the
passage of the hospital im-
provement bond issue that will
be voted early in December.
The board felt, in view that the
measure will be a self-
liquidating issue and that a Hill-
Burton grant will be provide
$120,000.00 of the total cost of the
issue, that the Chamber should
support the measure.
Railway issue
The board also went on record
as opposing the proposal by the
Texas and Pacific Rail Road
Co. to abandon the line from
Barnsdall to Pawhuska.
Earlier the city had indicated
it will file a formal protest along
with a number of users of the
line
Statistics on the use of the
line indicated that 199 cars
of freight incoming and
outgoing from Pawhuska,
have been shipped on the
line in the last 10 months

A new tourism promotion task
force will be headed by Frank

pointed out that the aban-
