Begin Appears to Be Winning
Herut Fight Against Weizman
TEL AVIV (JTA)—Mena-
hem Begin, leader of the
Herut Party, moved this week
to forclose any possibility
that Gen. Ezer Weizman
might withdraw his resigna-
tion as chairman of the par-
ty's executive.
Weizman submitted his res-
ignation at the close of the
Herut convention last week.
Begin was reported to have
proposed the name of Knes-
set-member Chaim Landau to
replace Weizman.
The party's new 250-mem-
ber central committee, coml
posed largely of Begin sup-
porters, is expected to accede
to their leader's wishes when
it convenes Sunday to elect a
new chairman.
The four-day Herut conven-
tion was marked by a power
struggle between Weizman's
supporters and the veteran
party members loyal to Be-
gin.
The latter emerged victor-
ious and, according to observ-
ers. only deepened his rift
with Weizman when he re-
ferred to the former air force
commander and for mer
transport minister on a tele-
vised interview as "A naugh-
ty boy with considerable
charm" who has "learned his
lesson."
Meanwhile, Wei z m a n,
whose resignation caused a
party crisis, has said he
would continue his political
activity within the party and
would head a faction that
would stand up against the
faction headed by Begin.
In interviews, Weizman
said that he joined Herut be-
cause he had hoped it was
Israel Leaders
Mourn Truman
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Flags flew at half staff in
Israel Wednesday in mourn-
ing for former President
Harry S. Truman.
President Zalman Shazar
described Truman as "a rare
friend" and a "far-sighted
man."
The Knesset suspended its
session for 15 minutes Tues-
day when word was received
here of Mr. Truman's death.
The Knesset rose and ob-
served a minute of silence in
the late President's memory.
The U.S. Embassy in Tel
Aviv, and the American Con-
sulate in Jerusalem opened
their books Wednesday for
expressions of condolence
from Israeli citizens.
The Israel ambassador to
the U.S., Itzhak Rabin, flew
to Independence, Mo., for
the funeral.
Israel Prime Minister
Golda Meir sent a personal
message of condolence to
Mrs. Truman in which Mrs.
Meir asserted that the name
of the former President "will
forever be linked with the
historical sovereignty of our
people."
Former premier David
Ben-Gurion recalled in Sde
Boker Tuesday how President
Truman reacted with great
emotion when Ben•Gurion
told him years after the es-
tablishment of the state that
the Jewish people would
never forget Mr. 'Truman's
contributions to Israel's in-
dependence.
Foreign Minister Abba
Eban said in an interview
' "he helped suffering human-
ity stand on its feet and
straighten its back again."
different from other parties,
but he found that it's like any
other party. "Many people
blindly follow Begin," he said.
Knesseter Yohanan Bader,
also of the old leadership,
said "there will not be two
Begins in Herut." However,
it is evident that Herut is
now a chaotic mood, observ-
ers said. People are waiting
to see what will develop from
the party's crisis.
But Labor Party general
secretary Aharon Yadlin ap-
peared rather satisfied. Com-
menting on the dramatic end
of the Herut convention, he
said, "Herut is not even
capable of establishing a sha-
dow government, let alone a
real one. It is not an alterna-
tive."

Allon Suggested Tandem Talks
`to Offset Egyptian Propaganda'
JERUSALEM (JTA)—Dep-
uty Premier Yigal Allon ex-
plained to his colleagues at
Sunday's cabinet meeting
that his recent remark to
newsmen in Washington that
Israel and Egypt could nego-
tiate an interim Suez Canal
accord and an over-all peace
settl ement simultaneously
was intended to counter
Egyptian propaganda in the
U. S. that Israel was not in-
terested in a permanent
peace.
Allon said the suggestion
represented his "own person-
al view" and that the idea of
parallel talks was not brought
up by either side during his
meetings with American offi-
cials earlier this month.
The Israel government has
made it clear that Allon's
suggestion was not in accord
with official policy and sever-
al cabinet ministers ques-
tioned the propriety of his
bringing it up in public.
Allon's explanation was re-
layed to newsmen by cabinet
secretary Michael Anton who
said the topic was neither de-
bated nor voted on by the
cabinet.
An Israeli radio correspon-
dent reported Saturday from
Washington that the U.S. was
seeking "clarification" of Al-
lon's remarks. Arnon said no
request for clarification was
mentioned at Sunday's cabi-
net session.
Allon said that he sug-
gested tandem talks because
questions asked of him by
reporters after his meeting
with Secretary of State Wil-
liam P. Rogers "mirrored a
suspicion which Egypt is en-
couraging in the U.S.—that
Israel wants to avoid an over-
all settlement and wants to
turn a partial settlement into
a permanent de facto situa-
tion."
A senior official contended
that simultaneous talks were
not justified by either logic
or practical considerations.
He said the whole idea of
interim talks evolved as a
means to circumvent the ob-
stacles in the path of over-all
peace negotiations.
The main obstacle, he said,
was Egypt's insistence that
Israel make a prior commit-
ment to total withdrawal.
Charles W. Yost, former
U.S. ambassador to the Unit-
ed Nations, said he believed
all parties in the Mid East
conflict would agree to nego-
tiations this year, but doubt-
