TBrts6^tuation on Golan TEL AVIV (JTA)-A tense situation developed on Uie Golan Heights over the weekend where a double alert was being maintained against the poaalbiliUes of a new flareup of terrorist activities and a re-opening of hostilities by Syria. Israeli authorities believe the likelihood of vtolence has increaded as a result of the Arab sumit conference In Rabat, Morocco. Th^.Syrlans were seen deptaj^K their forces for renewM warfare that might
be triggered by decisions taken at Rabat. Syrian troops are known to have entered the United NatkMis buffer zone where they have established three military observation posts in violation of the separation of forces agreement which bars the troops of l>oth sides from the UN zone. Israeli forces, by coincidence, were engaged in large-scale military exercises on the Golan Heights and the adjacent regions of Galilee. Security forces continued to
search today for possible terrorist infiltrators in western and central Galilee. Israeli artillery fired on terrorist strongholds in southern Lebanon during the night. The target areas were lighted by flares dropped by Israeli Air Force planes.

ad spoke of the Arabs' desire to regain what they claim Israel has taken from them and coiKludes with the words, "And we won't do to them what they (the Israelis) have donetous." Another ad used the Hebrew word "ollm" and the statement that Arabs have "no law of return" in Israel. Epstein said the ADL ad would aim at the United NatkM's sanctioning of the Palestine Liberation Organiiatiwi and its leader, Yaailr Aratat. It would tak. what Arafat's credentials are and then of ler some — such as bis leaderahlp of groups wtilcb murdered women and ctalMien. But the war of printed words was only part of Epstein's message at the Oniah<tJ>re8s Club. He warned of the Increasingly larger bivestments in American media and other bustneaaea by AratM: "tttere must be a re«uunlnatk)n of Iww high an Inveatment we will allow by foreign Interests ... whether it would'be the Arabs or the Japanese or any foreign power." He said that )uit one small oUaOnlotn, Abu Dliaisi. could buy up the "mafor ooromunicaUaiM media" hi the United States With the n blUlon It earned In nine Epstein suggested that maybe the United States will want to deeigiate "certain places wiMte forei0ien may not iNiy property." Oonoorning tha oil situatioa, Epatein urgod oonaervatiaa measures by Americans, dtli« the need for the United States to retain iU Independsnce. "We can reduce our energy needs by one-third. We can become self-suffieient without using the coal that we have available, and the coaaervatkm measures we can uae will eliminate tlie dangers to eooiagy which heavy fuel consumption brinp." Epstefai also spoke of tlie book "The New AntlSemltUm" which be co-
authored with AraoM Forster, sajriag titere is "a new Inseneitivity to certabi concerns of the Jewish community tiiat did not exist before." He said, for example, that "criticism of Israel today goea beyond the mere dlslruettoir of Israel." Asked if the book couldn't be used as a guiddbie for antiaemltes, Epstein said that the "expoaure (of anti-semitism) Is constructive expoaure"because It shows how the group! operate. Concerning the television program "All in The Family", Epstein said "the big question is how many people agreewith Archie Bunker's stereotyping. "We don't want the program removed — It has a wonderful array of topics it can treat, such as abortion, intermarriage. Inflation." But he said lines like "tight as a Jew's purse" unfairly stereotype all Jews. He .<iaid stereotyping seen in "Sanlord and Son" iTiighl also be harmful but he said the show "Good Times" seems good because "it portrays a family that happens to be black as a family with all tt>e problems of any other family; white or black." In (tie matter of JewiabCatboUc relatiotts, Epstein said tbe last SS yean "haa aeen a tremendous move forward between Catholica aad Jews when it had been traditloaally die Protestant group tliat had worlnd with tbe Jewish people." Epstein said the advent of Pope John and Vatican II changed the teaching that the Jews were to blame for. Christ's death. Epstein had warm recollections of Pope John — "I even felt he looked like my grandfather" — and said that with Pope John, "you knew you were dealing with a humanitarian. Pope Paul Is more the diplomat, the scholar, tfie more formal Interviewer." Epstein praised the recent creation by the Vatican of a new commission on Judaism.
