Both the Alignment and Likud (the major opposition) are expected to Introduce bills to this effect, the only difference be-. ing that the government wants the election to take place May .31 and Likud wants it May 3. The two groups arc scheduled to meet to seek a compromise, probably May 17. If the election is scheduled, all steps to form a new government are automatically halted and the present government continues In a caretaker role

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. Rabin is expected to ask/or an early decision by Labor's central committee, the group that named him Premier originally. Peres Is expected to press for a decision, by the Labor Party convention, a much larger'group.

Association's protest, tbe State Department took up with the Soviet Embassy tbe matter of the rejection of the visas for the Association representatives and four other members who had sought to present papers at the symposium. Two days after the hearing, the Department raised the level of its protest to the Soviet Union. The Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European Affairs, Jack Armitage, discussed the visa rejections with the immediate subordinates to the Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin. Tbe Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry reported in New York that at least SO Moscow Jews and 60 from other Soviet cities were detained to prevent them from participating in the symposium, according to reports reaching the SSSJ and the Union of Councils for Soviet Jews. After seven papers were presented, those present voted to close the symposium, which its organizers had hopes would last for three days, according to the SSJ. Three attorneys from Norfolk, Va., who had . come to participate, were expelled from the USSR it was reported. In addition, 15 more phones of Jewish activists were disconnected. Meanwhile the SSSJ reported, the symposium organizing committee released a Hanukkah message "to Jewish people everywhere." It stated: "The:, deep crisis through which Soviet Jewry is now going reminds one of the distant past when Jews were facing mass Hellenization and . spiritual subjugation. The events of the last few years such as the desire of a part of Soviet Jewry to retain its entit y shows there is still a possibility to build a Jewish life so that the words "I am a Jew" will be filled with meaning and a Jew would not remember his origin only while facing an anti-Semite." In events related to the Moscow Symposium, solidarity conferences were held in a number of cities across the , country, including New York, Chicago, Cleveland, v Los Angeles, Berkeley, Philadelphia and Cambridge, Mass.

/srae// Sports Produce Many Reactions HAIFA — Is Israel a sportsminded country? Tbe question is riot easy to answer. During fie Montreal Games the country went Olympics-crazy, and hundreds 0/ thousands of citizens, young and old, remained awake for hours after midnight to watch the televised programs. No Israeli earned any medals, but when Esther Roth placed sixth In the women's hurdles she was acclaimed a national heroine, welcomed borne by Cabinet members and feted in the Knesset There is also a national soccer syndrome. When Hapoel

Rosh Ha-Ayin failed to qualify for League A, the local fans proclaimed three days of mourning, decorated the town in black and blockaded all roads in and out of the place. Fans of other teams react in comparable fashion to demonstrate their ecstasy or their utter dejection at the achievements of the players who represent them on the field of action. Yet despite all this it should be noted that Israel youth does not torn out In large numbers to participate in the Individual sports which require long, bard months and years of practice. Nor is public support available to make it possible for potential champions to develop their skills. The Jewish type who will scratch who are responsible for the long stalemate.

Of course we must be represented In such international events' by men and women of high caliber, who will bring honor to the Israel flag. We can't excel in everything, but if we can pull off an Entebbe, based on years of basic training and organization, we ought to be able to do better in sports competitions.

Israel sport excellence is accentuated by contrast with the athletes who come here as new Immigrants, principally from the Soviet Union. In the latter country they had been supported and encouraged to the full. They had had no financial worries. Finding the amateur situation in Israel quite different It is perhaps not so surprising that many of these have left the country.

Clare Booth Luce Reviews Meir Autobiography was to have her marry a good Jewish man with an income, hopefully a little above her poverty level. At 20, she married the young man of her choice. Morris Myersbn was a sign painter, with no great ambition to be anything else. In a touching letter wrilten to her during their long (and placid) courtship, he confessed that he quite lacked the virtue she seemed most to admire, an "Indomitable will." He was a compliant rather than a supportive mate. No stroke of luck brought Uie young couple contacts with well-to-do, no less rich or powerful friends who might have helped them up the American ladder. When Golda decided that she must migrate to Palestine and live and labor in a kibbutz, Morris reluctantly consented. Altogether It is bard to Imagine a young female less likely to become a world-famous figure than the poor, pjaln "Viddisher" girl from Kiev and Milwaukee, who landed in 1820 in British-mandated Palestine with apparently nothing to contribute to her people but a strong back. And yet—snd yet, if there w e n m good fsWss at ter credit, tbtrs Secondly, the story of Golda seemed to be One present there Heir's rise to greatness, despite wfea had plans ol HI* own for her the somewhat deceptive candor future-the God of Israel.

Note: Tbe following l» a letter written by Clara Bootbe;Luce in lieu of a formal review of the book "My Ute" by G<rida Ueir. This letter was printed in the NEW REPUBLIC on April 17, 1978. Mrs. Luce Is a playwright wbo has served as a "HMttbcr of ctonp**t* and as US ambassador to Italy. ; You will have to forgive me (or letting you down: 1 simply could \ not bring off a revciw of Golda ' " H e i r ' s book that seemed to me worthy of the pages of The New Republic. I have made a halfdozen stabs at it, and have thrown '. them all in the wastebasket. . First, I found I could not write a word of criticism about this heroic old woman. She may not be above the judgment of her own people, but she is certainly above mine. Anyway, as a consequence of this critical Inhibition, everything I did write read rather like a plug for . ' her canonization or an In Memoriam. And as Mrs. Melr is still very much in the land of the living and even at 78 may be "the best man" in Israel, my memorial tributes would certainly have seemed premature to your readers. -

lumlnati — one of those rare beings' whose minds, being free of the fog of self -serving Bmbilion, quickly grasp the truth or the reality of every situation. An American official who had many contacts with Melr when she was prime minister told me that the had "the uncanny ability to cut to the core of the most complicated problem, and to summarize the best possible solution in a few simple sentences. She never got bogged down in Talmudic reasoning."' But there is a third reason I have found it difficult to write about the book. I fed very deeply about the survival of Israel, which it does not seem to me can.be taken for granted. Tbe future of Israel is still in peril, and this means that another holocaust - and another. Diaspora — is possible. (About that dread prospect, 1 have no very helpful thoughts to oiler). "There are 21 Arab states," writes Golda Meir, "rich in oil, land and sovereignty. There Is only one small state, In which Jewish national independence Jhtt been dearly achieved. Surely It is not extravagant to demand that In the current power play the right of a small democracy to freedom and life be not betrayed?" Meir has been both the foreign minister and the prime minster of ber country. She is well aware that her question is simply bitter rhetoric. "The world is harsh, selfish, and materialistic," she writes. "It Is insensitive to the sufferings of small nations." No one knows so well as sbe does Uut there is not a single power in the world which is willing today to risk even a second oil embargo, no less involvement in a war with the Soviet-supported Arabs, in order to defend the independence of Israel. She also knows that, as matters stand, this includes the United States.

The legacy of the US defeat In Vietnam has been a recrudescence of isolationism and American First-ism among the American people. They have reverted to the belief of the '20s and '30s that the securtly, but especially the prosperity of America can best be assured by non-intervention In the conflicts of other nations. There Is no doubt that the American people feel a profound sympathy for the Israeli people. Indeed, since 1947, this has been translated into some 30 billion dollars of economic and military aid. Also there Is no doubt that so long as Israel continues to survive, aid in substantial amounts will continue/ But the sympathy that prompts It will not, as matters stand, be translated Into military Intervention, even to s a v e I s r a e l .
