Former AIPAC Chairman To Be
Liaison To Jewish Community
By Joseph Polakoff
WASHINGTON (JTA) -
The White House will announce officially soon President Carter's selection of
Edward Sanders., a Los Angeles lawyer and former
chairman of the American-
Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) as his principal advisor on 'matters
affecting the American Jewish community. The move
was seen as part of the
Administration's efforts to
repair its relations.-with
American Jewry which have
become severely strained
over U.S. Middle East
policy.
Sanders' title has not yet
been decided, White House
sources said. Since the resignation of Presidential assistant Mark Siegel, the President's principal liaison with
the Jewish community over
White House activities
affecting Israel, most, of the
liaison duties have been carried out by Presidential
Counsel Robert Lipshutz and
Domestic Affairs Chief Advisor Stuart Eizenstat. Since
Siegel's departure, in a clash
over the Administration's
Mideast policies, the President has named Anne Wex-*
ler and Gerald Rafshoon as
political and media advisors
respectively.
Sanders resigned as chairman of AIPAC wheri he
joined Carter's election
campaign organization ; ih
1976 as deputy national campaign' director.
He has-been serving this
year as an unpaid consultant
to the President. In his new
post he will have offices at
the White House and at the
State Department. Sanders
is among the 27 prominent
Americans, mostly Jewish
leaders, who,left for Israel
June 29 as part of Vice President Walter Mondale's
party at the invitation of the
Vice President. A graduate
of the University of California, Los Angeles and the Uni-
„ versity of Southern Califor^
' nia Law School, Sanders is a
i partner in a law firm dealing
with corporate matters.
Apart from heading AIPAC
he has served as chairman of
the United Jewish Welfare
Fund-Israel Emergency
Fund campaign, as vice-
president of the Council of
Jewish Federations (CJF)
and as an executive committee member'of the United
Jewish Appeal.

Egypt was demanding pre-,
conditions for The resumption of peace negotiations
with Israel.
Questions Missile Sales,
To Syria ' .''
Genscher said there was
no change in German Mideast policy. His govern-
mente stand, he said, was in
line wifE^ffieTIfune' 29, 1977
declaration of the European
Economic Community
(EEC) which supported the
right of self-determination
for the Palestinians. Begin
also raised the issue of the
sale to Syria of missiles produced by a Franco-German
consortium. He said that
Germany had a moral obligation to cancel the deal.
Genscher promised to reexamine the issue but he,
and other West German
leaders, have stressed that
-Bonn could do nothing to prevent its French - partners
from consummating the
sale.
Begin complained about
the statute of limitations on
the prosecution of Nazi war
criminals in West Germany
which goes into effect in January, 1980. He said that even
France has not introduced
such a measure and questioned how Germany could
do so. Genscher said the
matter was under review
and promised that German
war criminals whose cases
were opened before the law
goes into effect will be tried
"even if they are captured in
50 years."
Prior to his meeting with
Begin, Genscher met for two
hours with Foreign Minister
Moshe Dayan and earlier
with Finance Minister Simcha Ehrlich and former Foreign Minister Yigal Alton of
the opposition Labor. Alignment. Dayan told reporters
later that his talk with
Genscher went beyond Is-

These gloomy and frightening accounts are not
unique to Israel: such phenomena are widespread in
this brutal world. As a matter of fact, Israel is a relatively pleasant place to live,
compared with the violence
and turmoil prevalent nowadays in so much of the
Western world. Nevertheless, a year after the Likud
government took office, Israelis are ^wondering
whether the new administration has made any serious
effort to cope with the
domestic problems reflected
so graphically and dramatically in examples cited.
above. The answer is negative.
Inflation Still No. I
Problem
The Likud government has
failed to cope effectively
with the economic problems.
Economists write about the
improvement "Jn"Hie'.oreign*
currency balance and in foreign investments. But the
ordinary citizen, in his daily
life, feels only the galloping
inflation which diminishes
the value of the Israeli
Pound. Due to the rapid rise
of the cost of living, the
situation in the labor market
is one of permament restlessness. Almost every day
■ another group of workers decides to strike or "go slow"
in order to get higher salaries.
The negative consequences of the inflation are
not only economic. Its social
and the moral results are
even .graver. As a result of
the rising inflation, people
reject established criteria by
which to measure values and
norms. A profound feeling of
lack of stability prevails in
many, aspects of the national
experience. [Although both
Likud and ihe Democratic
Movement for Change
(DMC) stressed in their election platforms the importance of bridging the social
gaps, the government has
not as yet made any mark in
that field.either. Meanwhile,
