UNITEDNATIONS/WUP) - Judging by the latest developments here at the UN ~ -Dr. Gunnar Jarring's hasty arrival, the visit of Secretary of Stale Rogers with both Jarring and U Thant, meetings of the major powers - it appears quite destfr now that what Nasser and the other Arab leaders had wanted right along but rejected by Israel, namely, an implied Big Four, or, more rightly, a Big Two, peace settlement is in the offing, there can be no other

Of course, pressures from Washington, from the President himself ~ in¬ terwoven with promises, pledges of aid, guarantees, etc. ~ finally compelled Golda to ascquiesce to the Rogers plan. With her Cabinet - minus the five Gahal Ministers who refused to go along - sh6 agreed to -issue this statement: "Having considered the appeals of the President of the U.S. and while continuing in its commitment to its basic policy'guidelines and authorized statements^ the Government has decided to subscribe to the latest peace initiative of the U.S."

BEER SHEVA: The swimmuig pool of the Desert Inn Ul Beer Sheva is perhaps not the most appropriate setting for reflecting on one's Jewish identity. Possibly, on the other hand; it may be just the place to ponder on being f., a Jew Ul 1970, for the Desert ' Inn is an astonishingly in¬ congruous bit if Miami Beach conspicuous over- consumption set in the arid Negev"^ desert. Sitting on a deckchair by the pool, on lush green grass, I see- not 50 feet away, through a break ' ;in the concrete fence-the hot llry desert seemingly stretching mto eternity. Is this the dilemma of being Jew in our time - Las Vegas of Jenisalem, the holy or the profane, the fleshpots or the spirit? ¦. •¦
.Identity Ul America for a Jew is complex,: in'Israel it is sometimes all too dear. "Kee mee Tsiyon  tayzay Borah      u-dvar     Adqnai -• b'Yerushalayim" - for oiit of , Zion comes forth the Law, '_,and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem!   Stand on .. the very Mt. Zion where the - Law comes from and feel the presence of the holy.   Pray before the Kbtel Ha Ma'ravi < and be brought to the sudden
reality that this was the outer wall of the Temple by reading the sign (in Hebrew and English) informing the pious among us that the Temple Mount (now site of the twin Mosques of Omar and Al Aksa) is, forbidden to Jews, for one f may there inadvertently tread on the site^of the Holy of Holies. Religious identity . in Jerusalem is qbvious, but does it relate to here aad now? IWve a few milc^ to Mt. Herzl, ani) visit the, twin reminders of what it is to be . a Jew in the 20th century.
Yitd Vashem. No matter -^ what you expected, the reality.is worse! Every decent human beuig must stand here shocked, hurt, bewildered, angry - surely everyone cries, openly or in their heart - biit only the JeW knows he is a°suryivor!: Ybu stand bdiind the railiiig, staring at the concrete floor inscribed with the terrible '*narates:! Ter«att|<<:BergenT ;B6lBehl5iiiM^i^Yar! £ucHaiWald1'i<AUdiewitz! - and each is a stab in your heart, You weep, not only for the Six Million, but for yourself.

JERUSALEM (WNS)-KMpat Holim, (he sick fund of Histadruth, has dropped supplying free medidnes to members and has instituted a "nominal charge" of seven to 14 percent per item. -More than 70 percent of Israel's population is insured in thc sick t\md. Officials said that a growing deficit in the fund which totaled IL 24 million this year was the reason for the move. The charges are expected to yield only IL 10 million but should also reduce waste in the use of medicines.
JERUSALEM (WNS)-The<Jewish National Fund plans to spend $4,657,000 on land devdopment, road construction and afforestation during the next three years. Fund (Siairman Yaacov l^Eur reported to the agency's executive.

The school will have Jewish studies as the core of its humanities courses and will seek to relate and transmit the ethical values of Judaism to students facing present-day ^ ^ pro^^ms.^ The sdiool will be qon-sectarian'and wil} '' offer scholarships to needy students. "*' 'NEW-¥ORK"(WNS)-lh^ Wdtional Fomidation for Jewish Cult(n« lias called for better utilization of Jewish library resources by expanding the availability of the books and literature to the general puUic.
