Clandestine Meetings are Forbidden HAIFA - A small furore has been created in Israel because of a series of clandestine meetings which have been taking place, in Europe between representatives of Arafat's Fatah organization, and a number of sejf-appolnted Israeli "diplomats". There have been more than half a dozen such meetings, and the Israelis, ail notorious leftists or Utopian doves, have openly told of the encounters even though such contacts are Illegal and punishable by Imprisonment, Public reaction became even more indignant recently when it was revealed that one

Clark Clifford Talks of the EarlyYears BylX.Kenen Ednor'> Note: TW UShu, TJSar tnemx OS Ox sat tM Hfpen McefMt qunuon and ammalit «boul tkemtdla. Wrtlt Mm M M Na

Former Secretary of Defense and Special Counsel to President Truman, Clark Clifford, has bitterly attacked the belief that Truman was influenced by political motivations In the U.S. recognition of Israel. "In a major address delivered at a joint session of the American Jewish Historical Society and the American Historical Association recently in Washington, Clifford did not present a pretty picture of State Department intrigue in the early years of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Clifford spurns the revisionist historiography that the President was motivated by the desire for the Jewish vote—an argument which "portrays the birth of I s r a e l . . . as somehow illicit and Ignoble." As Truman embarked on his "humanitarian

goal" to resettle the remnant of the holocaust in Palestine, the State Department's Office of Near Eastern and African Affairs <NEA> sought to "block Harry Truman from implementing a policy that was animated by his deepest human instincts." Clifford notes that the dire and ominous (ears of Defense and State were unwarranted. "Not a single Arab nation severed relations with us upon our recognition of Israel, not did a single drop of oil stop flowing from the Arab world to the United States or to other nations that supported partition and recognized Israel." In August 1975, this column revealed previously undisclosed details of this chapter in the struggle, for Israel's independence. That column was based on research in the National Archives; Now Clifford has filled In the background using additional material which does not appear In the'Department of State's recently-published book of 1948 documents;

of the PLO personalities with whom the Israelis met for a discussion of how to bring about peace in the Middle East was none other than Dr. Azzam Sartawl, who headed the Fatah unit which, carried out the terrorist attack on an El A! plane in Rome, during which actress Hannah Maron lost a leg. The Israelis at that meeting were said to have been members of the Knesset JJeir P a ' l l , former K n e s s e t member Uri Avneri, General (res.) Mattl Peled and Dr. Yaakov Amon, all representing a socalled Council for Israel-Palestine Peace. Taking part in other meetings of like nature have been Knesset member Lyova Eliav, journalist Amos Kelnan, Mapam party leader David Sbaham, and others. The law which forbids such meetings Is not the best nor the dearest in the world, but there have been convictions under it in the past In one case an Israeli was found guilty of maintaining contact with ' an enemy agent and of providing him with information which could harm the security of the state, though it »wa» acknowledged that his Intentions were not traitorous. Another conviction was against an Israeli who succumbed to Arab pressures of a blackmail nature; Still another was found to have committed treason.

Abie Nathan, who twice flew to Egypt to seek private peace talks, was generally regarded as naive, and certainly not traitorous. Failure to proBecute him was intended to emphasize that his efforts were regarded as harmless naivete. In the case of the more recent meetings deliberately arranged by prominent Israeli personalities it is more difficult to understand why the authorities have been silent. In view of the known defeatist arid minimalist programs of the Israelis, It is not difficult to Imagine what kind of inducements they may have held out to the terrorists in exchange for "peace," But no matter what their policies are, how long can a strong central government permit private citizens to carry on foreign policy negotiations behind its' back with avowed enemies of

the state? The "diplomat*" do not seem to be discouraged by the fact that the F*Uh organliar tkm Itself has refused to take any cognizance of the meetings, since ctmvers*Uons with Israelis, even unofficial Israelis, would imply recognition of Israel. They refuse to acknowledge that,Israel exists, and even the rumor of such existence must be suppressed by force and terror. I find only one possible explanation for government silence. It could well be that the l a w - b r e a k e r s a r e deliberately courting arrest and prosecution, with an eye to Israel's coming elections. A trial would provide them wit* an inexpensive forum which they could transform into a demagogic platform for exposition of their views. And this Jerusalem does not want to underwrite.

Darlynn Fellman Gives Herself in Women's Drive OMAHA - New style women's fund raisers work in various ways.' Many give1 money and encourage others to do so. Many give time organizing and planning; many give hours to publicity and speaking — some do all together. Darlynn Fellman gives singing and dancing talent to Women's Division — Omaha Jewish Philanthropies in addition to her own financial contribution. She will be performing — along with Dave Wlngert — In an original musical skit written by Helen Meyerson and Pearl Marcus to be presented at the training workshops for campaign workers at the Jewish Community Center, Jan. 19 and 20. The skit will be repeated Jan. 27 for the Young Leaders coffees at the Home of Deenie Meyerson. Darlynn is also directing and organizing the skit. "We're dramatizing where the money goes in Omaha," says Darlynn. "We'll be presenting some musical numbers, cabaret style, with a light touch. I think It's a good way for people to learn what's going on— many people really don't know what Philanthropies means and how their donation is used. Let's hope they learn and enjoy I" Darlynn says that she has always taken part in the Philanthropies campaign, but feels especially pleased when

she can also do what she likes best — performing. "To me, being Jewish automatically means doing .for other Jews. It's important to me and part of my responsibility as a person." Her recent stage per-: ' formances include "Oh, Coward" at the Omaha Playhouse, "Sweet Charity" at the JCC, and the "The Unslnkable Molly Brown" and "Company" at Chanticleer. Darlynn, as Education Vice president of National Council of Jewish Women, Omaha Section, supervises Trouplng Theater, which performs for "under-cultured" children around Omaha. John Bennett, an outstanding musician, according to Darlynn, will be the accompaniest for the skit.

F SENIOR SCENE

The Middle East Looks to Carter (Continued from Page 4) gradually emerging as the most influential'party in the Arab worldtoday. Without the Saudi petntftollar aid the economics of Israel's neighbors (known,' in Arab parlance as "the confrontation :states") would soon collapse. In the last two years alone, Egypt received from Saudi Arabia no less than U S billkm worth of economic assistance, and Syria received 11.5 billion. That Und of money represents more than Just financial help; it spells economic survival. In all of this we see a new Arab scenario sharing up, one that should appeal'to Washington, and, indeed, register a victory for Washington. For Russia, it is another serious defeat in pursuit of Communist Middle East goals. Kissinger is quoted as having once declared that what the U.S. would like to see in the Arab Middle East is the emergence of a ' political axis linking Riyadh, Cairo and Damascus into a single block. Such an axis, with a pro-Washington orientation, bring together a powerful Arab economic and military combination in alignment with America. The pro-Russian radicals — Iraq and Libya—would be, in effect, insulated and Moscow neutralized. t This is what may now be coalescing. A Riyadh-CairoDamascus axis, with a pro-Western leaning, might well be the end-product of the recent Arab summit meeting in Cairo. Saudi Arabia wants it because it is passionately anti-Communist and needs America badly to transform its wealth below ground into wealth above ground. Cairo wants U because It needs Saudi aid, U fearful (for the ttme being) of the cost to Itself of another war with Israel, and knows that the United States alone has the influence to pressure Israel Into giving the Arabs what they want Damascus appears now to want it for the above reasons and also because of Moscow's attempt to sabotage Syria's ambitions in Lebanon. (Syria's major military thrusts were against Russia's main c l i e n t s - the PLO and the Leftist Moslems). The meaning of all this for Israel and for the political exercises of the Carter Administration in 1977 are potentially most significant. Firstly, Assad's tactical reconciliation with Sadat implies acceptance by Syria of Egypt's Sinai interim agreement with Israel. Ever since the Vom Kippur war, Damascus tried by . every possible means to keep Cairo in the active war camp against Israel by not breaking its alliance with Russia ami by not signing any separate agreements with Israel. But Cairo wanted time out and hence concluded the Sinai accord last year. With that, Damascus launched a vicious .campaign against Sadat countered with a vicious campaign against Assad's involvement in Lebanon. At the summit meeting in October*, when this rift was patched up, Assad made his peace with tfie Egyptian-Israel interim agreement and also indicated to Washington that Syria is willing to contemplate some form of an interim settlement of its own with Israel. Secondly, the three major Arab capitals are now communicating U> Carter that they are will ing to maintain their proWashington stance as a permanent policy on the condition that Washington finally "delivers" Israel diplomatically on Arab terms. Failing that, the Russian option will be re-examined, meaning the option of renewed war and the collapse of U.S. influence in the area. This, then, Is the Arab strategy for 1977. It Is calculated to suggest some highly tempting reasons to Carter why he should not take bis pre-election promises about Israel too seriously. In return for an American-imposed solution and Israeli capitulation, the Arabs are offering the new administration continuing access to Saudi oil and an Important Influence hi the Arab capitals. AH that Russia would be left with is a volatile regime in Iraq and a madman for a leader in Libya. Neither are decisive factors in the Israel Arab conflict What is totally ignored in this equation, and where it falls down, is that most of the major Arab countries are gradually turning westwards precisely because m o d exists is thsir midst It has been Israel's strength, and the Arab Incapacity to dismantle It by war, that planted the seeds of the Arab rift with Russia. ' AD that Moscow can offer the Arabs ~ so the Arabs have learned — are weapons of war for the purposes of war. Five times the Arabs tried to use those weapons and failed.

Increasingly produced an Arab dependency on the U.S. for diplomatic initiative and movement This is all to the good. What matters now is how the new Administration interprets the advantage it has Inherited into further building blocks for real peace. Cairo, Damascus and Riyadh are about to try to maneuver the U.S. role into pressuring Israel for a Washiogtonlmposed solution. This Is the kind of plan they want America to produce in 1977, and this Is the measure of the political battle • shaping up when the new administration moves into gear. Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin seemed to be alluding to this when he said in a recent address In Jerusalem before' an American audience: "As in the past, we have to carefully measure our actions. We have to exploit the momentum of events at the proper time. There are no snap solutions. There Is now quick, easy diplomacy. Diplomatic formulas in themselves are not the answer. Premature initiatives could do more damage than good." • He went on: "If there is a formula of progress towards peace. It will be written not in foreign capitals but by events here on the ground in the Middle East. Israel is more than ready to share in its writing... .Progress for peace will be produced by the common interests of the parties involved, not by movement for movement's sake. Israel has taken the Initiative for an overall peace or for an end to the state of war. The ball Is In the Arab court. I advise our neighbors to follow a course of regional realism and not of fantasy that a solution can be imposed from the outside. Israel will never surrender to an imposed solution. We are determined to achieve real progress towards peace." Was not this, in essence, the Carter political message of commitment to the American electorate? Its translation into a policy of diplomacy, In alliance with Israel, Is America's task in 1977. Experience has shown that the stronger the alliance is, the more do the Arabs have good cause to back away from Russia (and war) and gravitate towards Washington (and peace).

Rosenshein: 'Informance' a Rewarding Experience By Judith Marburg • OMAHA - Tenor NeU Rosenshein says that he has found his visits to Omaha his "biggest success" and his most fulfilling "inCormance" the one which he presented at the Or. Philip Slier Home (or the Aged.

friends, Bill and Sandy Matthews, whom he met when he performed here two years ago In "The Barber of Seville." In other cities Rosenshein says he stays In hotels but here he is able to enjoy the comforts of a home. Rosenshein sees Omaha as an example of a growing, thriving community. '"Hie opera here is a vital company and a good, example of a cultural organization which can take advantage of Its community. The quality of opera here has definitely gone up."

This may sound like pure "box office" from an artist who has traveled from coast to coasMnd performed with major operatic companies and orchestras, but the warmth and sparkle 'to Rosensheln's voice are too convincing. Rosenshein i s in Omaha under the auspices of the Affiliate Artist's program which is "built on bringing people together through the arts through informal performancesioiown as 'informances'". Sponsorship of Rosensheln's Omaha appearances comes from the SearsRoebuck Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts. "I had never done anything like an informance before and Jwaa not a tall sure about i t when I started," h e concedes but goes on to note that be now (eels very comfortable as the "Informance gives m e a chance to play a character I had never played before — m e 11 can tell jokes and make people laugh." Rosenshein notes that there may be from 202S0 people at an Informance and the intimate settings make it possible to communicate on a one-to-one basis. It Is this feeling which contributes to his nsMiMtnent of the Informance at the finer home a l the mosi'fulfilling to date. The residents were, he Bays, a most .receptive audience, "ftiey were very quiet at the beginning but then they came to life and started asking questions. It is most exciting to perform in such a personal way." -'

BAKERS Neil Rosenshein study the words and music and found that I already knew them. Style Is the most difficult thing for an artist to perfect and when It came to the cantorial music I found that It was part of me—there was nothing to learn." Rosenshein spent a year as cantor to a small Reform Temple in the Bronx but resigned that position when his involvement with operatic and concert singing began to take him but of town too frequently. Subsequently he accepted the offer of a more traditional synagogue In Brooklyn to act as cantor for the High Holy Days. He bad to take a leave of absence this past year but says he looks forward to returning there this year.

Difficult Days Are Seen Ahead U.N. NEW YORK (ZINS)Dlptomatlc circles at the UN. a n convinced that very difficult days await Israel in her struggle for security. > They point out that the Arab oil diplomacy bad won many victories and even world powers have bowed before this oil diplomacy. The diplomats are of the opinion that at the White House the policy of "appeasement" toward the Arabs would continue at the expense of Israel. One West E u r o p e a n diplomat, himself not even a faithful friend of Israel, quoted professor Walter Laqueur who shows In his book (about the Israeli-Arab conflict), that the current political struggle of Israel reminds us of the shadow of Munich in 1938. Just as democratic Czechoslovakia was accused of persecuting the German minority in the Sudetenland, just so democratic Israel ~ stands accused regarding the Arabs. Just as Czechoslovakia had appealed to the world that by giving up the Sudetenland to Hitler, her national existence would be in danger, Just so Israel argues In answer to the Arab demands that she give up Judea, Samaria and Gaza. Just as in the crisis surrounding Czechoslovakia, many extreme right and left "pacifists" argued' that Czechoslovakia's keeping the Sudeten territory,would cause a bloody conflict; but surrendering it to Hitler would assure peace between both nations, Just so they yell today at the U.N. about Judea and Samaria In Israel. Just as certain elements screamed once ; that the obstinacy of the ; Czechs would bring on a World ' War, just so the Jewish State is threatened for her obstinacy. ' . < The diplomats say that as i tragic as It might be, It Is nevertheless a fact, that Israel cannot rely on anyone but herself. Israel's fate depends on Israel herself. The question consists In how much deter. initiation Israel herself will : show in defending her aims. : It Is a question of staying oower.

New Israel Med Center Will Use Solar Energy JERUSALEM - The energy of the sun will be used to help power a modern house of healing In Jerusalem, The new Shaare Zedek Medical Center, whose construction is expected to be completed in early 1978, will become the first hospital in Israel to utilize solar energy for its heating purposes. The hospital administration announced that several different plans for a power unit are currently under consideration, but regardless ol final choice, the plant will be the largest of Its kind In the country. In addition to accruing" significant' savings to Shaare Zedek over the long run, the exploitation of solar energy on such a large scaale will mean a decrease in Israel's foreign currency expenditure for oil. A special Energy Committee at Sbaare Zedek began in-

vestigatlng the feasibility of using solar energy In the new Medical Center over two years ago, according to Ellezer Rabat, Chief Coordinator of the building project. "The Initiative came from the work being done on solar energy In the U.S.," says Mr. Rabat. "For our size, Israel Is not doing too badly In this field either, although we can be doing much more. The power unit atop the New Medical Center will actually work on the same principle as all the solar hot water heaters that you see oh roofs all around the country." "The system will be linked to one using conventional energy sources," explains Mr! Rahat, "In order to ensure round-the-clock, all weather heating and cooling. With the proper planning from the very beginning, we are hopeful that the Shaare Zedek Solar Heating Project will prove a benefit not only to the hospital and the state, but will help other institutions around the world make greater use of this cheap and plentiful source of energy."
