until after the eMtUon. Meanwhlfe, ' I s r a e l ' s political parties are gearing for the upcoming campaign while the Labor Alignment appears to be heading for a battle over who should lead it, Rabin or defense Minister Shimon Peres. Rabin, meanwhile, appears to be confident that he will continue to head the Labor Party. In an Interview he stressed that if he is named Premier again "there is no doubt that I will consider Shimon Peres as one of the senior members In my next Cabinet." • The announcement by former Foreign Minister Abba Eban that he is a candidate for the Premiership is expected to help Peres since Eban would presumably take away votes from Rabin.

Peres Is expected to press for a decision, by the Labor Party convention, a much larger'group.
