JERUSALEM (JTA) -
The talks between the Labor
Alignment and Likud on
forming a broad-based
government have been
finged with tension as Likud
leaders insist that the issue
of the Premiership should be
subject to negotiations and
that Likud, like the Labor
Alignment, would continue
parallel negotiations with
other parties in an effort to
form the basis for an alternative coalition should the
current efforts by Labor
Party leader Shimon Peres
to form a government fail.
The position of the Labor
Alignment is that the issue of
the Premiership is not subject to negotiations since
President Chaim Herzog
gave Peres the mandate to
form the hew government.
At that time, Herzog said
that the nation desires a
national unity government
and that "the country needs
a quick decision." Peres has

Government Warns Americans
Against Going To Leningrad
WASHINGTON (JTA) .-.
The State Department issued an advisory last week
warning Americans against
going to Leningrad because
of the "unlawful detentions"
of U.S. tourists and the "ar-
"Bitrary" search of their luggage in the Soviet city.
While Jewish organizations concerned with Soviet
Jewry have apparently expected the move, they had no
immediate reaction on how
this would affect their efforts
to keep in contact with Jewish refuseniks in Leningrad.
The advisory came after
an American marine guard
and the U.S. Consul in Leningrad were beaten by Soviet
uniformed and plainclothes
police last week outside the
Consulate. There was! no
mention of this in the advisory. 7
Instead, the advisory, read
by State Department deputy
spokesman Alan Romberg,
said that' there has been a
"notable increase in the
number of incidents of
harassment involving
: Americans in the Soviet
Union. The majority of serious incidents has occurred in
the Leningrad area." .,.'
The advisory noted "that
there has been "unlawful detention of tourists by the Soviet security organs following innocent contacts with
Soviet citizens" and that
tourists have been denied the
right to contact the U.S. Consulate despite the U.S,-So-
viet Consular Convention
which gives them this right.
The advisory also said
"American tourists have
been also subject to arbitrary and in many cases unjustifiably embarrassing
searches of their personal effects on arriving or departing from Leningrad International Airport. The Soviet au-
-thorities have riot responded
in a satisfactory manner to
our urgent request that they
act immediately to correct
this situation.''

The insistence by Likud
last week on the issue of the
Premiership and parallel
negotiations with smaller
parties came after Likud
leaders met in Jerusalem to
map the next steps of their
talks with the Alignment.
Deputy Premier David Levy
rejected charges that Likud
was trying to foil an Alignment-led national unity -
government. Earlier last
week, Likud said that if
Peres should head the next
government, '.it would seek
the Defense and Foreign
Ministry portfolio.

Sox — video games, partying, synagogue, the movies.

Committee's executive committee last week adopted a
resolution dissociating' the
party from anyone who
preaches anti-Semitism or
any other form of bigotry.

Manatt, at the urging of the
Democratic party's candidate for the Presidency,
former Vice President Walter Mondale, according to a
DNC spokesperson.
The resolution reads:
"The Democratic party
takes this opportunity to
reaffirm its adherence to
pluralistic principles, and to
repudiate and completely
dissociate itself from people
who perform all forms of
bigotry, racism and anti-
Semitism."
