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.
With Arens out of the race, three
names are still mentioned as possi-
ble Defense Ministers: Agriculture
Minister (res. gen.) Ariel Sharon,
Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir,
and the continuation of the present
situation in which Begin serves as

omic aid for Jerusalem, the Negev
and Israel in general. "As leaders in
your community," the Mayor's
letter to the rabbis said, "you will
surely take on the responsibility of
standing by us by urging your
congregants to lend us these vitally
needed funds through the Israel
Bond High Holy Day appeals. You

Hadassah Head Says:
Anti-Semitism
On Increase
LOS ANGELES, (JTA) � Bernice
Tannenbaum, president of Had-
assah, told some 30O0 delegates
attending Hadassah's annual con-
vention, that "anti-Semitism is on
the increase, disguised as anti-
Zionism and anti-Israelism, in the
various international political fronts
operating as bodies of the United
Nations, such as the General
Assembly, UNESCO and even the
Security Council, where attempts
are being made to turn Israel into a
non-nation by questioning its na-
tional legitimacy."
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."
As for Jerusalem, "it is de facto
the capital of Israel, and as a united

pension of the talks can only lead to
their final collapse.
"These type of gestures would be a
further testament of Israel's desire
to show a spirit of maximum coop-
eration or commitment to the
process of peace," Linowitz said. "I
think Israel is seriously considering
such steps.

Cong. Drinan To A ddress
CJP 85th Annual Meeting
Congressman Robert F. Drinan,
one of this area's most eloquent
spokesman in support of Israel and
Soviet Jewry, will be the featured
speaker at the 85th Annual Meeting
of the Combined Jewish Philan-
thropies of Greater Boston, to be
held on Sept. 21 at the Boston Park
Plaza Hotel.
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

First elected to the House of
Representatives from Massachu-
setts' 4th Congressional District in

ment Operations matters, and is

Cong. 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. His
address is expected to touch on his
long involvement with human rights
issues.
Congressman Drinan was a key
figure in the development of official
government protests to the Soviet
Union over the rights of Jews who
wished to emigrate. He has lectured

Former Knesset Member
To Speak At Weizmann Dinner
Shmuel Tamir, one of Israel's
most famous trial lawyers, who
resigned his post as Israeli Minister
of Justice in Prime Minister Begin's
cabinet a month ago, will be guest
speaker at the 1980 Founders Dinner
of the Weizmann Institute of Science
to be held Sunday evening, Sept. 28,
at the Boston Museum of Science.
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."
The   dinner   guest   speaker,   a
member of the Knesset since 1965, is
known throughout  Israel  for his
persistent and successful campaigns
