WASHINGTON (WNS) -.
The State Department
issued a statement June 27
saying that, Israel, would
have to withdraw from the
West Bank as well as the
Golan Heights, the Gaza
Strip and Sirji if a.peace
settlement is t^ be reached.
State Department spokes¬
man Hodding Carter said the
statement was issued in re¬
sponse to recent statements
by Israeli Premier
Menachem Begin) Foreign
Minister Moshe Dayan and
Sen. Jacob Javits (R.N.Y.).
The statement came as
Javits -.and , other Re- -
publicans were criticizing
the Carter Administration on
the Senate floor for being too
specific in their proposals oh
the Mideast which they said
aroused fear among, the
Israelis and unrealistic'
anticipations among the
Arabs. Later at a press
conference June 30, Carter"
said that the Administration
would no longer make
specific suggestions oh' a
Mideast solution prior to
Begin's visit to Washington

Rabbi Hopeful Jewish Day Schools
Will Benefit From Supreme Ct. Ruling
By David Friedman     .,
NEW- YORK! June 27
(JTA) — The ruling by this
U.S. Supreme Court on state
aid for parochial schools will
"hopefully" mean, that
Jewish day school pupils can
.receive/ state-funded'
diagnostic and therapeutic
speech and hearing services,
according to an official of
Torah Umesorah.
Rabbi , Bernard Golden¬
berg, director of school or¬
ganization for Torah
Umesorah, told the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency that the
June 24 court ruling said that
states may finance
therapeutic, remedial ahd
guidance' counseling ser¬
vices to parochial school
children as long as they are
on a neutral site. He said this
neutral site could be a van
that is pulled up alongside
. the day school.
However, Goldenberg said
that each state must now
pass the enabling legislation
which would'provide the ser¬
vice to.the parochial schools.
He said since the New York
State legislature is near ad¬
journment there is no chance
that the aid will come in time
, for the 1977-78 school year in
New York which has the
largest  number  of Torah
Umersorah schools.
The court said on Friday
that diagnostic services such
as -for speech and hearing
could be provided directly at
-the' school.' The court also
- said that the state may pro¬
vide parochial schools with
standardized tests and test,
scoring achievements and
reaffirmed an earlier ruling
that textbooks may be lent to
parochial school  children.
' But it said the state cannot
lend    parochial    school
-Children' such standard
classroom equipment as'
wall charts and slide pro-
jectors."
Goldenberg stressed the
hearing ahd speech service
because a 1975 ruling by the
Supreme Court invalidated a
Pennsylvania program pro¬
viding diagnostic hearing
and speech service for"
parochial schoolchildren. At
that time, Goldenberg said,
the'ruling was a "disaster"
for Jewish day schools. He
said - since. then only the
schools which had enough
money were able to continue
therapeutic service.
The   Torah   Umesorah
official noted,, however; that
except for. the speech and,
hearing programs, the new
court ruling will not provide
any other help for day
schools to meet their ever in¬
creasing financial problems.
solutions 242 and 338. It noted
that 242 says that in return
for a durable peace "Israel
clearly' should -.withdraw
from occupied territories.
"We consider that this, re¬
solution means withdrawal
on all fronts of the Middle
East — Sinai, Golan, West^
Bank and Gaza — with the
exact, border and security
arrangements being agreed '
in the negotiations. These ne¬
gotiations must start without
any preconditions from any
side.    This    means    no
territories   including   the
West      ' Bank        are ,
automatically     excluded'
from   the' items   to- be •
negotiated."   -- ,
The statement stressed
that "We are not asking for
one-sided concessions from
anyone. The Arab states will -
have to agree to implement a .
kind of peace which pro¬
duces confidence in. its
durability. In our view that
means security arrange¬
ments on all fronts satisfac¬
tory'-to all parlies," _ to
guarantee established
borders, and steps toward
normalization of relations
withlsrael." ^,
;The'sta'fe'raerit'saida'dur-"
able peace "must also deal
with the Palestinian issue. In
this connection, the
President has spoken of the
need for a homeland for the •
Palestinians, whose exact
nature should be negotiated
between the parties.",
Meanwhile, Israeli Am¬
bassador Simcha Dinitz and
Rabbi Alexander Schindler,
chairman of the Conference
Of   Presidents   of   Major
American Jewish Organiza¬
tions, who met separately
with Secretary of State
Cyrus Vance on the same
day the statement was
issued said there was no
change in the U.S. position.
"There is no secret that we
had differences of opinions
on some items before,"
Dinitz said to newsmen. "I
don't think that as a result of
this statement any of the dif¬
ferences were either re¬
solved or augmented. I think

NEW YORK (WNS) — Israel's trade agreement with
the European Economic Community (EEC), which
went into effect July 1, opens the world's largest duty¬
free market to American manufacturers, according to
the government^ Israel Investment Authority. Israeli
officials noted that Israel is the only country that has
duty-free agreements' with both the EEC and the'
United States. Hanan Bar On, minister at the Israel
' Embassy in Washington, told a press conference here
-June 28 that Israel expects that many American
companies will take the opportunity.to expand their
markets into the CommonMarket countries by opening
manufacturing facilities in Israel. The Investment
. -Authority believes the new arrangement will be most
" attractive   to - companies   in   chemicals,   phar¬
maceuticals, .plastics, textiles, metals, machinery,
- electric goods and instruments.
• - GENEVA (WNS) — The International Committee
for European Migration7 said here that it and the High

Israel Surprised By Statement
JERUSALEM (WNS) - Israeli officials were taken
by surprise by the statement -issued by the State
Department June 27 asserting that Israel would be
required to withdraw from territories on all fronts,
including, the West Bank. Officials described the
statement as "blunt" and indicated that they-were
disturbed that it came less than a month before Begin's
July.19-20 visit to Washington.
Speaking to the Jewish Agency Board of Governors '
June 28 Premier Menachem Begin said Israel is ready
to go to a Geneva conference as early as October and
will exclude no issue from- the negotiating process.
Begin also said that when he goes to Washington he
hopes to find a common language with President -
Carter! -   '
' Later in a speech to industrialists June 29 Begin said
that while the State Department statement was bad in
content and intent frequently good things may emerge
from the bad. He hinted that he possessed information
to support that remark which he could not reveal.
Begin said he was preparing for his visit to Washington
with the trepidation of a Jew preparing for Yom
Kippur..
-    Meanwhile, former Premier Yitzhak Rabin called
- the U.S. statement rude and said that never before had.
' such "a statement Jjeen issued prior to the visit of'an"
Israeli premier to Washington. Interviewed on Israel
- Television, Rabin said that the American attitude on
the Mideast had eroded from Israel's viewpoint since
she met with Carter in Washington last March. He said
. he considered the statement totally divergent from
what Carter told him in Washington.      *■
But Dr. Nabum Goldmann, president of the World
Jewish Congressrtold newsmen in Tel Aviv that he was
not surprised by the U.S. statement since that was
'  what he heard from Administration officials during his
recpnt visit to Washington.
