Sftou/cf Ta//c TEL AVIV (JTA) - Former Defense Minister Moshe Dayan stated In a television interview that the Israeli government should talk to Yaslr Arafat, head of the Palestine Liberation Organization and help the Palestinians achelve a national homeland within Jordan. Dayan', now a member of the Knesset, said, "It is necessary to speak with the enemy even if we have no compromise proposal. Otherwise, It will be impossible to reach a settlement." Israel officially refuses to meet with the PLO because it Is a terrorist organization. But some doves within the Labor •.Alignment have said that leaders of that organization 'announces i t s official recognition of the Jewish State.

Specifically,.Carter is committed to U.S. aid that "must be responsive to Israel's needs," saying "Israel must leel secure in the support that it expects from America (n order to take the necessary risks for peace," Conversely, he has.urged that "the U.S. should not create the need for aid to Israel by eroding Israel's security through uncontrolled arms salesto Israel's adversaries."

List Inadequate NEW YORK (ZINS) - The recent partial disclosure by the Department of Commerce of American firms who have recieved Arab Boycott requests was called "inadequate" by Dr, Joseph P. Sternsteln, president of the 120,000 member Zionist O^anizatlon of America, who reiterated his demand for the complete and unrestricted publication ofthe list of all companies which have complied with the Arab Boycott "past and present." "If the Department of Commerce, "Dr. Sternsteln said,"continues to refuse to release these names and does not respond forthrightly to our request under the Right to Information Act, we will have to resort to taking legal action.

Carter's Victory Good (Continued from Page 1) tional Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council, for example, asked him In a comprehensive questionnaire whether he opposes an amendment to the federal Constitution "to make prayer in schools or other public places permissible." Carter replied that being a Baptist "my faith is personal" and "the establishment of the Baptist church in this country was to seek Us&«sspJeiesepsraiies s{ church and state." Heconcluded: 'U do not support efforts to overturn the U.S. Supreme Court decision on school prayer through a constitutional amendment." On governmental funds for non-public schools, Carter Indicated some form of help, saying be is "firmly committed to •earcb (or constitutionally acceptable methods for providing aid to parents whose children attend non-segregated private schools." He said "I personally disapprove of abortion" and "1 do not believe the government should support abortion" but he does "not favor efforts to overturn the U.S. Supreme Court decision" which In effect legalizes It. Carter came down hard on "quotas" or "proportional representation" and on "gathering or recording of information" about the race, color, or ethnicity of identifiable individuals." I favor affirmative action programs to repair the effects of 200 years of racial discrimination in America," he said, "but I do not believe in quotas. The establishment of quotas under any sort of definition is contrary to the abolition of discrimination because of race, sex, or ethnic background."

Moscow 'Refusniks'Are Intellectuals, P«rtn FINAL STOP, MOSCOW, Sunday, Oct. 3. Susan left her group about 1 p.m. while they went sightseeing. The assigned guides paid no attention to who was present on the guided tours. She was free to go where she pleased. She was eager to visit Benjamin Levich, an acWvJst who 4s the highest-ranking scientist in the Soviet Union who has applied for emigration. She could not phone ahead, as he and many others have Had their phones removed as punishment for seeking exit visas. She cabbed over, and he was not there. Next on her list were Joseph and Dina Beilin. They were home and eager to talk. They told herabout the opera singer, Pauline Elnbender, who was just refused exit permission. The authorities will not permit her to sing. Bellln stressed the Importance of Jews who travel with professional and academic tours to the Soviet Union making contact with Russians in the same profession. The government allows this kind of cultural contact, It is very Inspiring to the Russians, and they feel sure that It helps their cause. "After all," Susan says, "they reason that if the government knows professional people outside the Soviet Union know about. the ''refusniks," and are talking with them, it's embarassing." Beiiln was particularly incensed knowing that Jews travel with orchestras and university tours and do not reach out to Jews In Russia who need the contact, she says. (Susan says passionately, "I really feel by now that it's a moral obligation of our people to do what I did - it's the right thing to do. It's not dangerous, the Soviet Jews are desperate for the visits - especially in Odessa and Kiev, where not as many tourists go — and It's the least that those of us who are fortunate to travel can do for our 'brothers' and 'sisters' who are imprisoned in Russia.") Beilin U one of the well-known activists in Moscow. He Is well-known to the KGB also, and

the week before Susan's visit he bad traveled to Babl Yar, the site outside of Kiev where thousands (somewhere between 70,000-and 100,000) of Jews were slaughtered by the Nazis around 1M1 and after. Me went to place a wreath on the memorial. He was promptly arrested as he stepped off the train, detained for the day, and later released. The Russian authorities want no Jewish recognition of Jewish suffering during World Warll. Belln told Suan he takes the arrests in stride as part of his general harassment. Around 4 p.m. the Beilins Invited Susan to go with them to the Moscow synagogue for eruv Vom Kippur. There are an estimated 600,000 Jews in Moscow — and one synagogue. Susan
was delighted to go, since she had heard that the synagogue was the meeting place for the activists, as well as others. She reports that Bellln especially feels that so long as he has to carry the label "Jew" stamped on his official papers, and be denied equal treatment with other Soviet citizens, he may as well BE Jewish, seek Jewish learning (aginst the law) and REALLY stand out with something to show for his forced "differentness." He is eager to learn all he can about Judaism before be arrives hi Israel. Outside the synagogue Susan met them all — Vladimir Slepak, Benjamin Fine, Benjamin Bogolomny, Furman, YuLI Kosharvksy. Bellln rounded up the group of young men who spearhead the activist movement in Moscow,
and brought them over, one by one, to meet Susan, receive the messages she had for the, discuss what is going on currently among them, so she could make a report to the national organization in Washington through Shirley when she returned. Susan was overwhelmed by the size of the crowd outside the synagogue, especially since Shirley had told her that last year the streets had been blocked, andpeopie were not permitted to enter any of the streets surrounding the synagogue. "There were hundreds of people there! It was a real street scene," she says. "Most of the Jews come not so much to attend services as to see each other, talk and feel the common bond." The excitement in the air was even more heightened," she says because there was a "guard" of eight policemen on either side of the street — supposedly keeping the peace, but as with everything else In Russia — who knows? These personal meetings are particularly crucial to this group, Susan adds, because they are so carefully watched, some of their phones are revoked and their mail sometimes opened or not delivered at all. In Kiev, she found out, some families had not had mail in five weeks. She returned toner hotel for dinner after the synagogue and later visited the Kosharvskys at their apartment. He has been denied work for several years, and "makes do" by working at odd Jobs. Almost all the"refusnik" families have had their former Jobs taken away. They get money by tutoring, borrowing and doing piece work such as typing manuscripts. As soon as Susan had arrived in Moscow she had made arrangements to meet with a group of the activists on Tuesday for lunch. The luncheon was at the apartment of Benjamin Fine, a former scholar of higher mathematics. Several "refusniks" were there. They spoke alternately to each other and to Susan, (Continued on Page 7)

Israeli Offer to Arabs Still Stands HAIFA — When thousands of Arabs fled from Israel In 1948 in expectation that (he invading Arab armies would soon crush the emerging young state, they left behind them homes and farms and properties. These were for the most part not confiscated but held by a Custodian of Abandoned Property until such time as political conditions would permit settlement of accounts. Such a possibility presented itself in 1967 when as a result of the Six-Day War contact was re-established with the Arabs of old Jerusalem, many of whom had owned property

Some 400,000 — half of Rumania's Jewish population had been slaughtered, and in the summer of 1947, some 5,000 desperate refugees were piled up in the Rothschild Hospital In Vienna, which had room for only 1,000.

CJFWF Meets Local Jewish Needs By Boris Smolar Cdturlfrdrfrfmtrlaa, J.TA.
Assertions are often being made by various Jewish national organizations implying that they speak for American Jewry. Actually, no Jewish organization can claim that it represents American Jewry as a whole. There are some "rooforganizations" that can speak on behalf of certain sections of American Jewry —, in certain areas of Jewish life — but not for all the Jews in this country. The Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds — which Is holding thisweek (Nov. 10-14) its 45th annual General Assembly — Is the only central Jewish body that comes close to the point of being justified in saying that it expresses the view of the' American Jewish community, although It never comes out
with such assertions. The CJFWF is the central Instrument of about 800 organized Jewish communities in the United States and Canada, embracing 95 percent of the Jewish population in these two countries. The resolutions of CJFWF's

who would undertake, to fill civilian Jobs in Israel if an emergency draft should again deplete the factories of that nation, ACTS has now emerged a small but effective pool of workers through several regional offices. This "Just in - c a s e " p o o r of civilian volunteers was conceived after the 1973 attack on Israel. At that time, 14,000 Americans offered to take civilian jobs in industry but time did not permit classification and screening. With 85 per cent of the Israeli labor force called to the colors, civilian activity was severely disrupted and many essential services could not be performed. ACTS hopes to be able to alleviate this situation if it should occur again. It has been welcomed by the Israeli Ministry of Labor. The present exchange policy is designed to spread knowledge and skills between the two nations and to provide a period of orientation for those Interested In cooperating. Anyone wishing to volunteer or obtain further information should write to the Headquarters of ACTS which is located at 345 W. 44th Street, New York, N.Y. 10036.

Moscow 'Refusniks'Are Intellectuals, Zionists ' (Continued from Page 3) sometimes writing notes to each other on topics they did not want known outside their own circle. Bugging of their homes is another harassment they accept as a matter of course. These men and their families are ardent Zionists, Susan says. They feel that no emigrant should live anywhere but Israel, and they have split from other activists who take ft different view. They are on a crusade to convert as many Jews as they can to take up the cause of Jewish culture, Jewish learning, Hebrew — all difficult if not impossible to do, except clandestinely. , The Russians forbid Jewish books of any kind - in fact, it is against Hie law to speak Hebrew on the street, Susan says. They are organizing a symposium on Jewish culture to take place Dec. 10-21 In Moscow, says Susan. Much of the conversation when she was there concerned their anxiety that the books they had requested and the literary and cultural papers they had asked to be sent by scholars from the VS., Israel and England would not arrive. The activists are hoping that if enough internationally known scholars either come In person or send papers to the symposium, the officials will be forced to allow It to take place. They are also pressing to force the government to allow the materials to reach the regular mail service, and are hoping that If they do not receive it, enough international protest will surface to change the official policy. Susan was able to carry out of the country a copy of the conference program and topics for papers, as did other tourists, which has been duplicated and sent to Interested scholars in (he U.S. The activists are fervently hoping that their symposium will happen, and that similar ones will be held, in sympathy, on the same

Fine also showed her that afternoon an underground magazine that he and Bogolomny mite and "print," ori topics of Jewish interest — literary review, history, Israeli affairs, callzed "Samazldat," meaning "printed in the underground by hand." Susan felt painfully sad, she reports, as she glanced, through this magazine they were so proud of. Each copy is hand-typed, bound between two pieces of cardboard and tied with string. The copies are passed from hand to hand and guarded like treasures. "All they want, really," she says, "Is to be able to freely study and read about their past and present. They have to struggle so hard! We take our bookstores and libraries so for granted — it's almost Impossible to imagine not being allowed to read or have available what you want — true mental and emotional Imprisonment." Susan Budwlg's transformation from Omaha housewife and businessperson to advocate for International human rights and Soviet Jewry's human rights, in particular, Is complete. She scans the newspapers of several cities daily for news about the Soviet Union. She works now with Shirley Goldstein On projects she can accomplish from here. She has also transmitted her concern to husband, Ron, and children Larry, 16, Mike, 14, and Wendy, 12. They all Join her cause. "I have a real sense now," she says, "of what care and concern...— empathy — for a fellow human being Is. Money, In this case, of course, Is not enough. So 1'tl do what I can, try to return to Russia, and give whatever Information I can to others who will go there. I feel it's wrong for a Jew to go to the Soviet Union without making these contacts. Our fellow Jews in the Soviet Union are calling for help."
