By David Landau JERUSALEM, (JTA) Likud's stunning victory over Labor in the May 17 elections makes it likely that the next Israeli government will consist of a coalition between Likud, the National Religious Party and the two ultraOrthodox Agudat factions with possibly one or two splinter* factions joining in. That was the consensus among political analysts here with most of the votes counted except those of the army and merchant seamen overseas, The only alternative would seem to be a coalition between Likud and Prof. Ylgal. Yadln's Democratic Movement for Change (DMC) which emerged as the country's third largest party. Prospects for Labor to forma new coalition are almost nil unless, for some reason, Likud is unable to form a coalition during the time allotted for that purpose. The DMC made a respectable showing for a brand new faction that appeared on the scene less than a year ago. But its success was clearly at the expense of Labor. It made no inroads in the Likud constituency as had been hoped. Therefore, analysts believe, the DMC Is hardly indispensable to Likud and the latter Is under no pressure to accept Yadln's terms for a coalition partnership. Apart from sharp foreign policy differences,the;pMC!s major demand Is electoral reform that would replace Israel'8 present system of proportional representation with direct elections by constituencies.

Yadln believes that his reform would automatically eliminate many of the smaller factions, forcing their amalgamation with the larger parties and thereby making for a stable one or two party government instead of the

multl party coalitions. With that in mind, Yadln made it clear during the election campaign that the DMC would not Join any coalition unless lbs partner agreed to call for new elections within (Continued on PageS)

Omahan to Participate in Maccabiah Games (Continued from Page 1) Maccabiah, and we should do everything we can to support our athlete with funds." The following background article was supplied by Itzchak Shargil, of the Organizing Committee of the 10th ' Maccabiah Games: TEL AVIV .-r A long bugle sounded the miulem, as 11 torches were lit in memory of 11 Israelis slain by Arab terrorists. A crowd of over 50,000 spectators stood at attention, wiping tears from their eyes. In the central arena stood 2,000 uniformed men and women athletes, and the flag bearers lowered their country's flags to half mast. This was four yean ago — at the Ramat Gan Stadium. The torches were lit to commemorate the 11 Israeli d e l e g a t e s . who were assassinated by Arab terrorists at the Olympic village at the Munich Olympics. The huge Israeli crowd and the athletes had assembled for an event, which proved more than anything else, that the Jewish Nation Is not deterred by assassinations, that Arab terrorists will not Interfere with Jewish life, and above all, that (he Jewish Nation Is united, and that It's affinity is unique. '

Israel from 12th-21st July, - a glimpse or flashback to the background of the Maccabiah may once again enliven this wonderful phenomena of an all-Jewish gathering - irrespective of language or continent - a competitive Jewish Sport Gathering, fostering the unseen bonds which tie Jewish communities and Jewish individuals everywhere. The Maccabiah - which emerged from the Maccabi movement has been on the map of world sport since 1932, a date which marks a milestone in the long route of Jewry's progress towards resurgent statehood. It was than that some 30,000 Israelis In the newly built Stadium of the growing town of Tel Aviv, cheered what may be termed as the 'flower of world Jewish youth'— who had come from 22 countries for sport, fairplay competitions and experience.

The Maccabi movement, the world's Jewish non-party sports organization, had not come Into being in a vacuum. It had emerged against the background of the situation ot the Jews in Europe. It was on the grounds of persecution, programs and ghetto conditions that the early Zionist leader, Max Nordau, a colThat was the 9th Maccabiah laborator with Dr. Benjamin - the all Jewish sport event Zeev Herzl, came out with a sometimes called'the Jewish call for muscle-Jews, Jews that were healthy and strong Olympiads As the 10th Maccabiah In body so that they could dedrawsnear- taking place in fend the Jewish soul and

spirit. Jewish defence (Hagana) groups came into being, and since it was Illegal to form any underground movement (even to defend the lives of one's own family), It was the Gymnastics Organizations which provided the shield for the boys, and later g i r l s , who prepared themselves, physically, to defend the Jews and to endure the Jewish continuation. It was from these Gymnastic and Sport groups that the Maccabi movement was formed as a root organization for the various local organizations. And as the Maccabi movement developed, it was felt that a mass demonstration of its e x i s t e n c e and achievements was necessary. Yossef YekuUeli was one of

the first to urge the Maccabi movement to hold International Sports Meetings - the Maccablot. Like the Olymplade, having its origin in the Greek mountains, the Maccabldade (as it was called in early days) had its origin with the ancient Maccabeass, the Hasmonttes, who demonstrated to the world of those days that Jews could become muscle-Jews if they had to defend their values, traditions, spirits and thus, on a Tuesday In March 1932, this vision came to be a reality. Hundreds of Jewish athletes from 22 countries came to what was then Palestine, for a three day sports event. A long procession of blue and white marched through the partly asphalted and partly-sandy

Europe under the clouds of Nazis and Faclsm, another Maccabiah took place. This was in April, 1935, and many present-day Israelis owe their lives to that Maccabiah, as they decided to remain here and not return to the inhuman conditions In Europe, which culminated in the Holocaust. It was the second World War which interferred with the preparations for the third Maccabiah, and it was not until after the Holocaust, the War of Liberation and the Establishment of the State of Israel that the third Maccabiah took place. No longer was Europe the center of Jewish life in the Diaspora, it was the Americas, South Africa and other places which were dominant in the field. Yet Jewish Maccabi clubs soon emerged on the map of free Europe (whilst some had to close as the socialistcommunist regime ordered them to do so).

While the early Maccabi clubs came into being to defend the physical existence of Jews and their spirit, it is today's Maccabi which is called upon for no less an Important task T to preserve Jewish continuation/ Jewish vision, Jewish heritage and tradition, not from physical persecution, but from the free society and economic wealth. The Maccabiah, through the Maccabi clubs of the world, keeps Jews together, brings Jews nearer to Jewish values, to have that feeling of being u n i q u e , proud of our Jewlshness, and when Jewiish sport is threatened by politics, when Israeli sportsmen are ousted from sports venues and organizations, it is good to know that the Jewish Nation is behin/1 you, that the Jewish Nation Is united solidly, against all attempts to undermine it's unity.

And so, once again, we anticipate a Maccabiah, the 10th of its kind, to be the greatest ever.

A United Family The leadership of Congregation Tifereth Israel hi Lincoln is commended for reaching a compromise solution to the religious role of women. The issue concerning the role of women was raised at the Congregation's annual meeting two years ago. Since the initial discussion, emotion has played a strong part in the proceedings. Congregants on both sides oi the issue strongly clamored for their viewpoint and personality clashes entered the picture. Strong leadership on the part of Rabbi Mark Bisman, Congregational President Sheldon Kushner, Past Presidents Jerry Grant and Henry Misle and Adult Education Chairman Harry Allen contributed greatly toward easing the friction and effecting a compromise. The Congregation has overwhelmingly approved the compromise, and now a united family can look forward to peace and harmony knowing that differences can be worked out.

There Was Never A Family Like This Haifa—The townspeople in Ktryat Atta smile when Cbayim Levi put-puts on his red motorbike through the streets. They know him as the devoutly orthodox Yemenite who works as a plumber for City Hall. Even the neighbors have lost track of the number of his relatives and children. Because Chayim Levi is so modest, so soft-spoken hardly anyone - knows the amazing story of his family. I learned about it by accident. Levi and his wife of one year came to Israel from Yemen in 1949 with Operation Magic Carpet. There were assorted brothers, sisters, uncles, cousins and parents In the family that trooped onto the transport plane and marched out again in the new State of Israel. They were housed in tents at AUit for the first half year, and then were given a bumble flat in the suburb of Haifa where they live to this day. The children began arriving with regularity and Chayim added rooms to the flat Mother Sara Levi was kept so

busy with the usual household chores — washing, cleaning, cooking, darning, nursing that she never had tune to learn to _ read or write. Chayim, of course,: was proficient In Hebrew, even from Yemen, and he could sit for hours reading the Bible and the commentaries. In Yemen he had been a cob-

OW. Editor Emritt of U» to EM R*x«

In a recent editorial, after President Carter announced that Israel's special relationship with the United States would make her eligible to receive and coproduce sophisticated weapons, The New York Times gave high praise to Carter's "diplomacy of sympathy." The President had "inherited a strong hand In the Middle East and he keeps playbig it out with extraordinary skill. "Instead of threatening the Israelis with a loss of support if they refuse to move along the designated path, he has doubled and redoubled his special commitment to them and their military needs: the Israelis are to be embraced, not whipped, into withdrawal. "Comparably, the cause of a Palestinian homeland is being taken up, rather than evaded, by Washington and in a way that wiD eventually require Syria, Jordan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia to decide where to anchor it and bow to prevent it from upsetting the larger peace arrangements... Instead of dictating terms, be seeks to make it Impossible for the parties to avoid them." And, The Washington Post declared: "Clearly, the Arabs, wielding the oil weapon and the threat of war, want the United States ,t& deli ver their iost territory and s Palestinian state without asking them to make cotnpssssllag polities! ceaeessfcss to Israel.

The Jewish Preii

Analysis of SweiBping Change By David Landau JERUSALEM, (JTA) - If the elections were held again May 18 it is fair to assume that/ the results would be substatlally different. Labor, though doubtless it would still emerge weakened, would very probably not come sut losing a massive is seats cut of 51, and the Democratic Movement for Change (DMC), which took most of these votes from Labor, would very likely be significantly reduced. . For what happened in the elections was, basically, that erstwhile Labor supporters, anxious to punish Labor for what they felt were its failures particularly in internal affairs, swung over to the newly-created and moderately based DMC—and thereby enabled Menahem Begin to fulfill his lifelong ambition: lead his rightist Likud Party to relative victory as the new Knesset's largest faction. For Likud, despite Begln's historic victory address at 3 a.m., only gained two seats more than it had in the previous Knesset. Labor's huge defeat was almost entirely at the hand of the DMC which thereby, as some analysts noted, "let in Belgin through the back door." This was particularly apparent when the voting was broken down by expert analysts Into areas and types of population. In the kibbutzim, for instance, traditionally the strongest bastkm of Labor Alignment support, the DMC made substantial Inroads winning up to to to 12 percent of the vote, while Likud remained at negligible two percent. And in the "well-established" uptown suburbs of the large cities the swing to DMC was particularly marked. In Haifa — another Labor stronghold, DMC pulled over 20 per cent according to an analysis ot mid-count returns. The avalanche from Labor to DMC In a massive protest vote against the present government seems, then, to be the major trend in this historic election. But analysts have already noted another significant factor: the election appears to have been,, for the first time, a victory for "the second Israel" over "the first Israel." These quasisoclologlcal terms denote, of , course, the Israel of the development towns •» 4 V

and big city slums—mainly of Oriental origin — as opposed to the long-established families mainly of European origin. Paradoxically, it is always the lower classes in Israel, the "second Israel," who ac«HHrt tor the backbone of Likud's support, while the better established sectors generally favor the establishment, represented by Labor. But Labor party managers, and especially the late Pinhas Sapir, have always been aware ot this undercurrent and nave successfully combatted it, investing much effort to woo votes for their party In the development towns of the "second Israel." This time, without Sapir, Labor failed abysmally to do this, as a breakdown of the voting in the development towns clearly shows. Likud scored its biggest successes in these areas, as did Shlomzion and Flatt-Sharon. That, coupled with the flight from Labor of many of l\s traditional white collar and Intellectual supporters in the big cities and the agricultural settlements, dealt the ruling party Its mortal and mortifying blow. Many observers, among them particularly Labor stalwarts, spoke of the public having sought "to punish" Labor — rather than seeking a genuine shift of policy and ideology to the right, Certainly there was a strong element of punishment. But it would be wrong, nevertheless, to discount or belittle the political-Ideological element in this election result. There was a swing to the right — as witnessed by the growth of support for the National Religious Party which has adopted of late a stridently nationalistic posture. Counting Shlonulon Poalei Agudat, which also takes a hawkish position, the rightist forces, hi terms of a peace policy, can be said to number 57 Knesseters, and that is without counting DMC, even though it also harbors within its ranks a number of professed hawks such as Knessetfer Melr Zorea.

Coalition Challenge Faces Likud (Continued from Page 1) two years under the new system. Likud, whose various 'elements have been in the opposition for the past 29 years, can hardly be expected to agree to face the voters before Its four-year term of office Is up. Moreover, as matters stand, Likud does not need the DMC and Yadin's hope to "hold the balance" has been swept away. Even if he offered to join a coalition with labor, the two parties would be well short of the minimum 61 Knesset seats needed to govern. They would have to enlist the NRP which leans toward

Likud. The religious parties now hold the crucial balance. The NRP. the Aguda and Poalei Aguda with 17 Knesset seats between them and a few splinter factions could give. Likud a comfortable governing margin without the DMC. According to well placed pundits, Likud will soon Initiate coalition talks with the religious parties and is expected to accede to their demands aimed at reinforcing the Orthodox establishment's control over many facets of social.and family life in Israel. Another serious obstacle to a Likud-DMC coalition is their wlde gap over the approach to peace. Likud is committed to annexation of the West Bank.

The DMC favors territorial concessions in return for a genuine peace. It would return much of the West Bank to Arab sovereignty although it wants Israel to retain land adjacent to the Jordan River as its "security border." However, there have been some signs of moderation in Likud policy on the territories. Ellmelech Rtmalt, elder statesman of the Liberal Party, proposed a "compromise formula" on a recent television interview. He'suggested that Likud and the DMC reserve their positions and agree to hold a plebiscite on the fate of the West Bank if and when the issue becomes immediate.

Theories and explanations abounded as to why "hawkish" Likud was able to defeat Labor. Some Likud members said it was because the electorate was tired of Labor's foreign policies — a view shared by the Independent newspaper Haaretz, which saw the results as indicating that "apparently a large proportion of the citizens perhaps the majority, wants a firmer stand on external affairs."

He holds a degree entitling him to be an art professor. Sancho's style, portrayed in his paintings to be displayed here, varies from the direct simplicity of his portrait work to historical themes and a classical celling decoration depleting gods and goddesses of mythology which captured first prize for him from the Royal Theatre of Madrid. At the Spanish National Expo of Fine Arts, Sancho won second prize In 1924, a bronze medal In 1926, a silver medaJln 1941 and a gold medal in 1944.

The Center will sponsor this program in cooperation with The Seventh Day Adventist Church from 7:30-9 p.m., Sunday, June 5 - Thursday, June 9. Instruction will be given on the p s y c h o l o g i c a l , physiological and pathological aspects of cigarette smoking along with films on smoking and its harmful effects on the body. Speakers will include a health educator, a nutritionist and a physician. The plan, involves a daily personal control program in addition to group sessions. Fee for the course for members of the JCC or Seventh Day Adventist Church is $15. For all others, the fee is f17.50. For further information, call Chuck Arnold at the Center. "A DREAM COME TRUE" New outdoor facilities at the JCC, consisting of two adult softbail and four children's diamonds, two regulation football fields, two soccer fields and a 300-meter oval Jogging course, are like a dream come true for the staff and members of the Athletic Committee, said Chuck Arnold, physical education director. Jay Lerner, Health and Physical Education Committee chairman, was pleased to announce that the Athletic Department "will be able to

much to the pleasure of all members from tiny tots to golden agers, said Arnold. He added that elementary school children, junior and senior high school students and adults will be able to play soccer, flag football and softbail In the spring, summer and fall. Family outings, walking, running and jogging clubs will be formed. Archery, outdoor volleyball and badminton are just some of the new activities that will be offered. AEROBICS COMMITTEE FORMED A few years ago, Dr. Kenneth Cooper of Dallas, Tx., introduced a new exercise program to counteract the lethargy and inactivity prevalent in our society. By a system of daUy and weekly points, this new program, called aerobics, allows the participant to select any number of various activities to help keep him or her alive and in shape. Aerobics refers to a variety of exercises that stimulate heart and lung activity for a time period sufficiently long enough to produce beneficial changes in the body. The exercise programs include walking, hiking, jogging, running, racquetball, handball, cycling, basketball, swimming and soccer. Members of the Health and Physical Education Committee's newly formed Aerobics Sub-Committee recently attended their first meeting. They will play an integral role in setting policies for use of the Indoor track, the outdoor 300-meter jogging course as well as plan aerobic activities for all age groups.

Jay Lerner, chairperson of the JCC Athletic Committee, expJaissrihe architect'* plans for the proposed td tacilities to Athletic Director Chuck Arnold.' • .greatly enrich the program potential and provide many years of wholesome and beneficial experiences for our members." With the addition of the outdoor athletic facilities, more members will be able to participate in a variety of sports l gdj

For the 28 Omaha teenagers who are preparing to leave for the Omaha Youth Pilgrimage to Israel the end of June, all that remains to be done is assemble their clothing for the trip. Every Wednesday night since January, the teens have met at Beth El Synagogue to study about the country's economics, politics, language, and other topics. The class was taught by Rabbi David Levin. They will be gone approximately seven weeks and will spend about five days in Kibbutzim, collective farming settlements. The Jewish Federation of Omaha and the city's three synagogues are helping pay the $1,500 cost for each youth. Organizers of the trip are Carol Greenberg and Helen Epstein. After the youths return, they will give talks and generally use the knowledge gained from the trip to benefit the
