At least four crew members
drowned and 13 yachts sank or were
destroyed.
Among the yachts in distress was
one skippered by former British
Prime Minister Edward Heath.

Israel protests
U.S.-Palestinian
chance’ meeting
United Press International
TEL AVIV, Israel — Israel pro
tested to the United States Tuesday
ever a meeting last month between
the U.S. Ambassador to the United
Nations and a Palestinian official.
The protest expressed “deep re
pet over the meeting between
Andrew Young and a PLO official
anddisputeda U.S. explanation that
it was accidental.
Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan
sent the protest to Secretary of State
Cyrus Vance through the Israeli
ambassador to Washington Ephraim
Evro, a foreign ministry announce
ment said.
The announcement said U.N.
Ambassador Young “held a prepa
ratory discussion for the upcoming
meeting of the Security Council on
the subject of the Palestinians’ with
Palestine Liberation Organization
C.N. observer Zehdi Labib Terzi.
The government of Israel ex
pressed its deep regret” over the
meeting, the announcement said.
A State Department spokesman
d Monday that Terzi “arrived un-
eipectedly” during a meeting
Young held July 23 with the Kuwaiti
U.N. ambassador Abdul Yaccou
Bishara and no “substantial discus
sion was held in the “acidental”
encounter.
Dayan said the meeting con-
hdicted “repeated and unequivical
commitments that the United States
ill not recognize the PLO or
negotiate with it until it recognizes
Israel’s right to exist and accepts
U.N. Security Council resolutions
242 and 338.”
In Dallas Robert Strauss, Presi
dent Carter’s Mideast ambassador-
Jt-large, rejected any notion the
United States had weakened either
its commitment to Israel or its sup
port of the legitimate rights of the
Palestinian people.
Strauss, told the American Bar
Association Monday the United
States has not changed its position
«outlined by the Camp David
Mideast Peace Accords supporting
Israel’s right to exist and the Pales
tinians right to participate in deter
mining their future.
“The idea that there has been any
lessening of the U.S. commitment
to keep Israel strong, so that it will
remain secure, to promote Israel’s
future or to fulfill all of our under
takings or commitments to Israel is
false,” Strauss said.
Dayan said Monday Israeli had
American backing for its policy of at
tacking Palestinian guerrilla bases in
southern Lebanon.
they raced to the Fastnet Rock off
Ireland in the final event of the Ad
miral’s Cup.
Rescue officials said eight yachts
had sunk, another five were
wrecked on the jagged shores of the
Scilly Isles.
Ten yachts were reported aban
doned, several others were missing
and scores had radioed for assistance
— among them Morning Cloud II
skippered by Heath, captain of Brit
ain’s official Admiral’s Cup team.
Heath put out a SOS in the early
Tuesday when Morning Cloud II
lost its rudder and began wallowing
in mountainous seas. Irish coast
guard officials reported his yacht
was attempting to make Cork in
south Ireland with an improvised
rudder.
Morning Cloud I also owned by
Heath was lost in a storm several
years ago off he coast of Spain.
Heath was not on board, but his
nephew was lost in the accident.
The Dutch naval destroyer Over-
ijssel which was escorting the racing
fleet reported picking up two dead
crew members and two survivors
from life rafts.
Two other bodies were recovered
in the rescue operations, officials
said, and nine other crewmembers
from two other yachts were re
ported missing.
Helicopters, lifeboats and other
rescue vessels reported rescuing 83
other people.
