Thinking Out loud See Schlossberg's Column on Page Three Israel Moves To Revive Mideast Talks US. Envoy Meets With Sadat Vol. XXXVI, No. 3 Thursday, September 4,1980 Price 25C JERUSALEM � Sol M. Linowitz, U.S. special envoy to the Middle East, in three days of talks with Israel's Prime Minister Menachem Begin, said that Israel was consider- ing some concessions in the auton- omy talks. Under consideration would be delaying the move of Begin's office into the eastern sector of Jeru- salem; strengthening Moslem con- trol of sacred mosques in Jeru- salem, and releasing some Pales- tinian prisoners. According to an Israeli spokes- man, two documents were drafted by Linowitz and Israeli negotiators which may pave the way for a renewal of negotiations. Linowitz denies that his current mission is a political gambit con- nected with the U.S. Presidential election campaign and designed to show that the peace process, the brightest foreign policy feather in President Carter's cap, is still alive. He has expressed fears on the part of Washington that an ongoing sus Synagogues Marshal Support For High Holy Days Bond Appeal Rabbi Richard Yellin Synagogues throughout the United States and Canada have been asked to utilize the forthcoming High Holy Days to marshal moral and material support so that Jerusalem can remain a united city. According to Rabbi Richard Yellin of Congregation Mishkan Tefila, chairman of the New England Rabbinic Cabinet of Israel Bonds, Mayor Teddy Kollek of Jerusalem, in a letter addressed to Orthodox, Conservative and Reform rabbis, called for the spiritual leaders to make certain that "this sacred city, the city of peace, our capital, remains at peace and reunited as it is today." Mayor Kollek stressed the need for the Jewish people to support the peace by assuring adequate econ- Arens Rejects Israel's Defense Minister's Post JERUSALEM (JTA) - Chairman of the Knesset Foreign Affairs Committee Professor Moshe Arens rejected an offer by Premier Menachem Begin to become Israel's new Defense Minister. The offer came three months after Ezer Weizman resigned from the Ministry. Begin served in this capacity ever since. Arens rejected the offer due to his basic objection to the Peace Treaty in its present form in which we give too much for too little. Arens voted at the time against the signing of the Treaty. Arens repeated his known views in a meeting with Begin. He said in a radio interview that he did not enter the meeting determined to reject the offer. He said he was ready to hear Begin's arguments in favor of accepting the job. But after hearing what Begin had to say, he said he still had negative views about the Peace Treaty and as a result he could not hold the position of Defense Minister. Arens said: "The Camp David Agreement and the Peace Treaty with Egypt are regarded by the Prime Minister as one of the major achievements of its rule. It is no secret that I opposed both agree- ments, and I have not changed my mind. One could have assumed that in the course of time events would have caused a change in my mind, but I am sorry to say that this is not the case." Arens said Begin could continue to serve as Defense Minister and he would support any candidate of the Prime Minister for the Defense Ministry, including Ariel Sharon who was a very good candidate. He said there was no contradiction between his membership in the Likud and his objection to such a central feature of the present government's policy such as the Peace Agreement with Egypt. "A Knesset member could disagree with certain elements of the govern- ment's policy, he said. However, a member of the cabinet would have to identify with all the basic points 'of the government's policy." Thus, the Defense Ministry con- tinues to be held in the hands of Begin.

Tannenbaum noted that just before the convention here began "we watched with dismay at the United States abstention in the Security Council. It is difficult to reconcile Secretary of State Muskie's strong criticism of the Security Council's latest censure of Israel withthe subsequent absten- tion, when logically his words should have been reinforced by a U.S. veto." Continuing, she said, "Not only does the abstention diminish the �meaning of the Secretary's own message, in which he calls the resolution 'fundamentally flawed... unbalanced and unrealistic' and damaging to prospects for peace in the Middle East, but it undermines the U.S. role in promoting the Camp David agreements."

The announcement was made by Annual Meeting co-chairmen Sue and Joel B. Sherman of Newton, who praised Drinan for his "leadership in the struggle for human and civil rights for all people and his special involvement in issues of concern to Jews everywhere." A reception will be held at 6:00 p.m., with dinner following at 6:45 p.m. Dietary laws will be observed.

Robert Drinan Because of his decision not to seek reelection in 1980, this appearance marks one of the last times that he will be addressing a major public forum as a Congressman.

Tamir, one of three members of the Democratic Movement for Change in the Begin cabinet, in announcing his resignation, said he was taking this step because he felt the Democratic Movement was over-represented in the cabinet considering that the party now holds only three seats in the Knesset. Tamir, who was born in Jeru- salem on Mar. 10, 1923, as Shmuel Katznelson, has frequently been described in the media as the Israeli Clarence Darrow. He handled the famous Kastner trial which related to the role of Jewish leadership during the Holocaust. The book, "Perfidy" by Ben Hecht covers the story of the trial and is dedicated to Shmuel Tamir Tamir with the words: "A man stood up in Israel."
