COLa. 0. 43211 EXOH VOL.56 NO.49 NOVEMBER 30,1078-CHESHVAN 30 Hertzberg Says Day Schools Indispensable To Survival NEW YORK (WNS)-The idea of American Jewry that it can assure its • future through philanthropic and defense work is a "fatal and suicidal delusion" and the only answer is Jewish day school education made available to all families regardless 6f ability to pay, Rabbi Arthur Hertzberg has asserted. He spoke at a meeting here of the B'nai B'rith Critical Issues Forum, which focussed on the need for free Jewish day schools. He contended that the idea that funding hospitals, fighting anti-Semitism and defending Israel will help preserve the Jewish people "is not true" even though American Jews are doing "a superb job" in these areas. He called American Jewish priorities "insanely and suicidally wrong." Declaring that the rate of intermarriage is now one in three, he said this is what it has always been "<n every third generation of Jews living in an open society in the disaspora." Rabbi Hertz- - berg i' called --Jewish-«^day< schools for all indispensable.' While stressing work in philanthropy and defense areas must be done and is being done "superbly," he added "we are evaporating at the usual rate" and that if "we do not raise a generation to care, within 30 years half our Jews will be gone and in a few generations, we will have no one left to protect,'' Leviches Can Emigrate After Years Of Rebuffs NEW YORK (WNS>- Reports from the Soviet Union that Benjamin Levich. a leading physical chemist, and his wife, have been given by Soviet Jewry groups. Both, are 61. Mrs. • Levish has been in the hospital several times because of a heart ..condition which has been aggravated by Soviet harassment of the Leviches. Levich said he had been told by telephone on Nov. 16 that the visas were ready and he had one month to.get out. He said he hoped he could leave earlier, depending on his wife's health.* Yevgeny and Alexander, the Levich sons, left in 1975. The Levich case was one of several which Soviet officials said they were reviewing after a Moscow visit ■ by Sen. Edward Kennedy (D. Mass.) who brought up several such situations. Levich, who has ■ invitations - lo 'teach in ■ \ Britain, the United States 1 ' ' and other countries, said he and his wife will settle in Israel.

(Sec story page 12) Sanders: Carter Not Pushing For Comprehensive Peace Treaty NEW YORK (WNS)—The munity to the Administra- Carter Administration is not tion. Sen. Robert Dole (R. pushing for an overall peace Kan.) called- the Camp settlement in the ' Middle David accords "a smashing rEasHn-aniefforMofrustrate'-'^success" hut added that now- a separate Egyptian-Israeli barter should allow Egypt peace treaty. Edward Sanders, senior advisor to President Carter and Secretary of State Cyrus Vance, and Liaison to the American Jewish community, said on Nov. 20 at a commission meeting of the Anti- Defamation League of B'nai B'rith. Answering questions, Sanders said he believed the Administration was dedicated to achieving peace between Egypt and Israel but added his understanding was that the Administration sees such a treaty as the first stage for a Mideast settlement and that it wants negotiations to continue after an Egyptian-Israeli accord is reached. He rejected audience suggestions that the Carter Administration is tilting toward the Arabs and said relations between Carter, Premier Begin and President Sadat are "fine and excellent." Recent American press reports suggest Carter and Begin distrust and dislike each other. - Sanders said that the Administration position is that the future of Jerusalem is "negotiable" and that the Administration ■ believes Jerusalem should not - be "physically separated." Sanders noted U.S. policy supports the idea that Israel's security presence on the West Bank should extend beyond any political arrangement' achieved in the future. Hessaid he views his job < *as representing the "opinions, thoughts and fears" of the Jewish com- and Israel to find • a permanent peace on their own, for an overall peace and commented that Jordan - will not come to the negotiations and that Israel "is being asked to negotiate with -phantoms." Dole told the 500 Jewish communal leaders lhat current disputes are "not between the U.S. and Israel's enemies but between the U.S. and Israel on behalf of her enemies." JERUSALEM (WNS)-Js- rael was involved in a twofold dispute, one with Egypt for having published the peace treaty draft with the omission of a key Article, and another with the United States over Secretary of State Cyrus .Vance's statement that talks should continue on the peace trealy. Vance's statement, in an interview Nov. 24 with The New York Times, was unsettling because 'it was in conflict with'Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan's statement several days earlier (hat there was no need for further talks arid lhat Egypt should "take il or t leave il." The Secretary of State told The Times .that the Isrcli Cabinet decision to accept the draft (ready did not mean (he negotiations were concluded because Egypt and Israel did not reach an agreement on the key element of a timetable lor implementing the autonomy scheme on'lhc-jltyc&l JJanji _nd th£ GazH'Strijr Thafwas- the one ffihfcni Itie.MffitrJt refused to " accept and Vance's remarks created anxiety in Israel that the U.S. intendsi to exert pros- sure on Israel lor concessions on that issue. Israel feels (hat it has made the maximum concessions to Egypt by having reversed an earlier Cabinet objection lo Ihe American proposed language in Ihe draft trealy preamble which "refers to linkage in general terms. The publication o( the truncated version of the peace treaty dralt in the semi-official Cairo newspaper Al Ahram on Nov. 23. which omitted Article VI. creafed tension between Israel and Egypt. The Article, which Dayan re- Ierred lo on Nov. 26 as 'the heart ol the treaty." establishes thai the Israeli- Egyptian treaty takes precedence over any past treaties or agreements thai either country may have entered into with respect lo Ihe Middle East conflict "Dayan said that without , this Article "there i.s no point in signing the agreement." He reiterated that the dralt treaty, as approved by the Cabinet, stands'as is and should he signed by Israel and Egypt immediately Cabinet Secretary Arye Naor. talking to reporters after (he regular weekly Cabinet meeting Nov. 26, agreed with Dayan's view (hat. (hee is no need now for the Israeli negotiating team to return to Washington where the talks had been held. He added that the government has decided to, wait for Egypt's response to Israel's acceptance of the draft treaty in its original lorm. A day after the State Department released the official English text of the draft trealy^Nov. 24, containing Ihe Preamble and all nine Articles, the Israeli government published the Hebrew text and Annex HI which cowrs in detail how normal relations are (o be i '.,1M ■■ ' 'ION PAGE 13) Experts Differ Strongly On Best Means for Aiding Soviet Jews NEW YORK (WNS)-Two experts on Soviet Jews, speaking at a special meeting on the iss_e here oh Nov. 19, expressed sharply opposing views on (he best stalegy - for aiding Soviet Jews, each evoking strong opposiiion views from participants. The event was the third annual leadership Assembly of the Greater New York Conference on Soviet Jewry. > Marshall Goldman, associate director of the Russian Studies Center at Harvard, urged "flexibility" in negotiations with the Soviet authorities aimed at increasing Jewish emigration. He said that when Russia eases its restrictions on Jewish emigration, which he said was now the situation, the U.S. should "reward", the Soviets: with modest trade concessions. If muchlgreater, numbers of Soviet Jews are allowed to leave. Goldman said. President Carter should consider offering the USSR the mosl-lavored- nation trade sta(us currently withheld under the Jackson- Vanik amendment. He argued that trade and other contacts give the U.S. leverage on Soviet policy on Jewish emigration. Rep.. Benjamin Rosenthal (D. N.Y.) a member of (he House International Affairs Committee, said if Ihe upward trend in Soviet Jewish emigration continues, a "positive response may be warranted." He said he did not favor most-favored-nation status but that some "carrot- and-stick approach" might be useful, such as amending the Stevenson amendment which limits Russia to $300 iniliion in . commodity credits.' , , , .But YRichkrd Pipes, professor of Russian History (CONTINUEDON PAGF ll'» David Brinkley To Be Guest Speaker At Ninth Annual "Night For Life" Event David Brinkley, who re- * turned tp„a- famiharroleas 'co-anchorman (with John Chancellor) of "NBC Nightly News" in June, 1976, will be the guest speaker at the ninth annual "Night For Life" event on Saturday evening.
