U.S.-lsrael Collision Narrowly Averted
Deaf New Yorkers Helped By
Church Phone-Teletype Service
NEW YORK — Walter Schulman, right, who is deaf,
proudly displays the home telecommunications' dGVteev
which he has just used to reach Susan Klimkowski, left,
supervisor of New York's Norman Vincent Peale Tele¬
phone Center, a "Deaf Contact" service sponsored by
Marble Collegiate Church and the Foundation for
Christian Living. In instances where Schulman wants
to reach a hearing person at a regular phone, he places "•
his call via phone-teletype link-up with'the church cen¬
ter. Histeletyped message is verbally relayed to the
hearing person by the church operator and the-
response returned to Schulman in the same manner.
The procedure is reversed when a, hearing person
places a call through the center. WhenLwanXlng to com¬
municate with another deaf person similarly equipped,
Schulman may do so directlywithout going through the
church.

UNITED NATIONS,
(JTA) — A serious collision
between Israel, and the
United StatesjKis narrowly
ayerted last week. The crisis
wasprecipitated'byiaTjbint7
U.S.-Soviet declaration call¬
ing for the recognition of the
"legitimate rights" of the
Palestinians, for the partici¬
pation of: '.'representatives
.'.- of the Palestinian
people" in Middle East
peace talks, at Geneva and
for. the resolution of "such
key issues as withdrawah«f
Israeli-arme'd forces^from
territories occupied! in the
1967 conflict."'
The joint document, Vhich    U.
was signed by Seen
State   Cyrus   Vance
Soviet   Foreign   Minister
' Andrei Gromyko and issued
Oct. l, aroused anger and
fear in Israel and among
Israel's Jewish and non-Je¬
wish supporters in the U.S.
that the Carter Administra¬
tion was moving in concert
with Moscow to "impose" a
Jideast settlement. But the
abated somewhat
uoled when the
U.S. and Israel announced
__Oet._5.an^agreement on pro¬
posals   jto   reconvene   the
Geneva conference.
The announcement fol¬
lowed seven hours of mara¬
thon meetings in ^ew^YorK"
between IsraetT foreign
"Minister Moshe Dayan,
President Carter and Vance.
It stated that agreement was
-reached .'that none of. the
parties-was required to ac¬
cept the joint U.S^Soviet de¬
claration as a prerequisite
for participation in the
Geneva conference; It also
reaffirmed that United Na¬
tion Security Council Resolu¬
tions 242 and 338 remain-the
asis forneace talks without
le'^The failure of the
iet statement to re¬
fer to these resolutions was
one of the main causes of
rael's disquiet.
Aside from the formal an¬
nouncement of the U.S.-
Israel agreement there was
no indication of how this
agreement would relate to
the U.S.-Soviet accord. Some
diplomats at the United Na¬
tions said the Arabs can at¬
tend the Geneva talks^ on the
basis of the U.S.-Soviet state¬
ment while Israel can attned
the talks with assurances
that Resolution 242 remains
ment when he declared in a
speech to the UN General
Assembly Oct. 4 that theU.S.
"does not intend to impose
from the outside a settle¬
ment on the nations of the
Middle East." He asserted
