Herut Reiterates
Offer to Liberals to
Form Joint Bloc

TEL AVIV, (JTA) — Mena-
hem Beigin, member of the
Knesset and leader of the right-
wing Herut part y, called on
leaders of Israel's Liberal party
to reconsider their opposition to
Herut's proposal first put for-
ward two years ago for the es-
tablishment of a joint Knesset
bloc by the two parties in prep-
aration for a complete merger
of their lists in future Knesset
elections. •
Beigin reasserted the Herut
proposal at his party's national
convention which opened at the
Mann Auditorium here with 600
delegates. "I am empowered to
declare that our proposal still
stands in spite of the Liberals'
negative reply and should there
be readiness on the part of the
Liberals, Herut is prepared to
sit immediately to negotiate de-
tails of the united bloc plan,"
Beigin told the delegates in his
opening address.
Liberal party leaders immedi-
ately rejected Beigin's renewed
proposal for a unified Knesset
bloc, declaring that experience
had proven that, in matters of
common interest, there is na-
tural cooperation between the
two factions, "but on questions
on which we are divided, differ-
ence between the two factions
is very distinct."
In his address, Beigin also
criticized Israel's system of mili-
tary government in Arab border
