"If I see no further interest
among the parties in a settle¬
ment to the Arab-Israeli con¬
flict and if I become con¬
vinced they're not acting in
good faith, I will be reluctant
to continue my efforts to
bring them together." •
Thus   warned   President
Carter in his.first interview,
devoted exclusively to the
Middle East since taking of¬
fice.
-The President, still hope- .
ful about a Geneva peace
conference this year, but so¬
bered by some-of the proce¬
dural difficulties, disclosed
that he, his advisers and the
State Department, have in¬
vested enormous time, effort
and study in an attempt to
bring it about.
Referring to his peace
drive as a "good -invest¬
ment," he nevertheless
.cautioned, "If.ourjefforte faO.
this year, it'll be difficult for
us to continue to devote that
much time and energy to the
Mideast."
"Dozens cf other foreign
policy matters have suffered
to some degree because I've
expended so much time on
this issue," he said.

As The New Year Dawns
By Robert E.Segal
(A Seven Arts Feature)
As we approach the
solemn observance of the
New Year, we will, for the
most part, be giving our¬
selves up to profound intro¬
spection. We shall be shut¬
ting out the outside clamour,
to concentrate on the inter¬
nal doubts and hopes that
cross our minds. Millennia of

tradition so prescribe. And
we shall be the better for this
search for renewal.
But this year offers us a
- special call to consider what
certain technological' de¬
velopments in the outer
world are-doing to our con¬
sciences. For this is the year
during which we have been
told that a new machine of
destruction is available —
the Neutron Bomb.
The Neutron Bomb! We
mention the term; and for
the sensitive,  the ancient
.speculation of who shall live
and who shall die springs in¬
to our central consciousness.
It is said of the Neutron
Bomb that it spares property
while taking lives. So at
once, we realize that the ar¬
senals and the skyscrapers
shall endure'and God's chil¬
dren may perish.
And what shall be the na¬
ture of death visited by the
Neutron Bomb? Radiation
from this Satanic weapon
sends the human body into
torment for six.days.
' Are we not mandated then,
in these ten days of Awe dur-
' ing which we mark faithfully
Rosh Hashonah and Yom
Kippur, to think long and
with great depth of feeling on
six days of agonized dying if
and when Neutron Bombs
are made available to our
military men?
Is this thought too horri¬
ble, too macabre for consid¬
eration in the season of our
most sacred Holy Days?
Let us give ear first to pro¬
ponents of the new wea¬
pon: Senator John C. Sten-
nis, chairman of our Armed
Services Committee who
works closely with the Pen¬
tagon, has hailed the advent
of the Neutron Bomb as the
best news he has heard in
years. He goes on to point out-
that inasmuch as the Bomb
is devised for use on the bat-.,
tlefield, dealing death but
saying property in a radius
■ of only 300 yards, it does' not
compare in might with other
giant nuclear weapons. The
larger "bombs can span conti¬
nents; Neutron Bombs can
create only a miniature Hir¬
oshima. Neutron Bombs,
says the knowledgeable sen¬
ator may well be compared
with pistols while other nu¬
clear engines of destruction
are like unto shotguns.
And now as we pause for
silent meditation at the sea¬
son of the Holy Days, let us
listen to those raising grave
-doubts about the Bomb, Ac¬
knowledging that on first

than he had been two months
ago about getting the parties'
toGenevainl977.
He stressed that peace is
dependent upon more flexi¬
bility than the two sides have
shown thus far. And he pre¬
dicted that if either the
Arabs or Israelis "cling to
their very adamant positions
of the past, and refuse to ne¬
gotiate freely and aggres¬
sively, then there is no hope

fiosalynn and I extend warmest greetings to our
fellow Americana ot the Jewish Faith on-the    - «
occasion of your High Holy Days, in which aym- ;
bolicaliy "mankind passes in judgment before the
heavenly throne".
As you solemnly review and judge your own conduct
during the past year, we are all reminded that we
serve God most faithfully by showing concern for
our friends and neighbors.
In a world made' smaU by modern technology, aU
peoples and nations have become closer together,
and the concern for others has become more im¬
portant than ever.   This is the wellspxing of our
nation's commitment to human rights, and it is why
we are determined that all of America's words and
' deeds will honor that commitment.
Among the Rosh Hashonah prayers recited in trie >

mankind will be joined in universal brotherhood."
This is a prayer to which aU of us add our heartfelt
Amen aa we wish each of you a happy and prosperous
