' - '17Finklisin the FOrmation of New Knesset: Who Get Chairmanships, Fronte eats? BY MOSHE RON Jewish News Correspondent TEL AVIV — Despite dif- ficult negotiating about the formation of a new govern- ment, it was believed that the election of a new chair- man of the Knesset and of the new Knesset committees would take place without any incidents. But these events also led to a crisis. Likud members left the talks on formation of new committees and threatened to boycott the Knesset presi- dium. The Likud faction has suc- ceeded in increasing its rep- resentation in the Knesset from 32 to 39 seats and, therefore, is putting for for- ward more demands. The chairman of the Ma'a- rakh faction, Moshe Baram, proposed a compromise by increasing the number of vice chairmen of the Knesset from eight to nine for Ma'arakh, three for Likud, one for Mafdal and one for the Independent Liberals. He also proposed a de- crease in the number of mem- mers of the respective Knes• set commission, from 19 to 15 and only an increase in the number of members of the security and foreign af- fairs commission from 19 to 23. The Ma'arakh demanded the chairmenship' of the com- mittees for security and foreign affairs, finance, Knes- set, labor and social prob- lems. For Likud, it proposed the chairmanship of the commit- tees of education, economics, internal problems and state controlled committee, but Likud also demanded the chairmanship of one of the two most important commit- tees: security and foreign affairs or finance. Further, this party also demanded five vice chairmen of the Knesset, instead of three. the Monday Review THE EXORCIST by William Peter Blatty A terrifying book A terrifying film An outrageous assault on rational smugness.

When the Likud members left in protest the committee for the formation of the Knesset committees, there was an argument among members of the remaining factions, as to whether to form the committees on their own or to try to find a com- promise acceptable to Likud. There was another crisis Coalition Govt. Talks On the Move JERUSALEM (JTA) — Ne- gotiations for the formation of a new Labor-led coalition government gained momen- tum Tuesday as the contro- versial "Who Is a Jew?" is- sue was shunted aside for the moment and the negotia- tors concentrated on matters more amenable to compro- mise. The coalition talks are prin- cipally between the Labor Alignment and its -old part- ners, the Independent Liberal Party and National Religious Party. The Civil Rights List headed by Mrs. Shulamit Aloni dropped out of the coa- lition negotiations Monday after it became apparent that Labor would not agree to its principal demands. The liberally-oriented fac- tion, which won three Knes- set seats in its first election race Dec. 31, insisted that it would join a coalition govern- ment—only if it were granted freedom to vote as consci- ence, rather than coalition discipline,, dictated on mat- ters such as state and reli- gion that have a diiect bear- ing on individuals' lives. The Labor Alignment, however, considered Mrs. Aloni's de- mands a breach of the status quo and refused. Her removal from coalition talks has weakened the ILP position. As long as the ILP remains a possible coalition partner, its negotiations with the Civil Rights List for the creation of a common parlia- mentary bloc have been sus- pended. But the two factions con- tinue to hold regular consul- tations and are cooperating on as many issues as possible before the Knesset. The ILP has promised to consult the Civil Rights List before it sighs any coalition agree- ment. Meanwhile, the Labor Alignment's negotiating com- mittee is meeting regularly in the offices of its chairman, Finance Minister Pinhas Sa- pir. Sapir has deliberately put off discussion of the NRP's demand for a govern- ment commitment to amend the Law of Return in a man- ner that would recognize con- versions performed only by Orthodox rabbis as valid in Israel. Labor leaders, including Premier Golda Meir, have stated categorically that they would not surrender on that point. But the matter is un- der discussion unofficially between Knesset members Haim Zadok of the Labor Alignment and Yitzhak Ra- fael of the NRP. Rafael said Monday that he was more optimistic that he was last week about the prospects for a new coalition government. Another issue under discus- sion is the establishment of a national security council or a H ministerial security commit- tee, a cabinet-level body to oversee Israel's growing de- fense and security complex. The idea is said to be sup- ported by Sapir, Rafael, Gid- eon Hausner of the ILP and Naftali Feder of Mapam. But it is opposed by Transport Minister Shimon Peres and by Zadok, who heads the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Security Committee. They ar- gue that such a body would split the cabinet between sen- ior and junior ministers. The matter is expected to go to a subcommittee for recom- mendations. Another subcommittee is presently studying the reli- gious parties' demands that the government ban autopsies without the consent of the family of the deceased. At the same time, the Knes- set approved the appoint- ments of five deputy speak- ers, eliciting a sigh of relief from speaker Israel Yeshaya- hu, who has been running the House single-handed since the eighth Knesset went into session two weeks ago. Yeshiva .U. Energy Study Continues NEW YORK (JTA) — In- tensive research in solar cell development and catalytic activity has been under way at Yeshiva University for the past two years in an effort to find means of alleviating America's energy crunch. Paul Raccah, director of research at the university's Belfer Graduate School of Science, said the two areas hold out the hope of more energy than present devices provide and at lower cost. Dr. Raccah said that the energy reserves . of the planet earth are limited and that, on the basis of present knowl- edge, needs for energy can- not be met beyond the year 2000. Short range solutions are needed now to enable so- ciety to survive in the long range, he asserted. The present problems of using solar energy is cost. One watt of solar energy now can be had at a cost of $50. The goal is to reduce that cost to the area of 20 cents. Dr. Raccah said that in catalytic energy, fuel cells involve a technology with "an enormous potential" to im- prove the energy supply, both by increasing the efficiency of fossil fuels and as a "sys- tem component" in a post- fossil fuel ecenomy. Of eight things a little is good and much is evil; travel, mating, wealth, work, wine, sleep, spiced drinks and medicine—Gittin. The five deputies who will rotate in presiding over the parliament are Mordechai Ben Porat and Yehuda Yudin of the Labor Alignment; Ben- zion Keshet and Shneur Zal- man Abramov of Likud; and Pinhas Sheinman of the Na- tional Religious Party. They were approved without dis- sent, but the Independent Liberals, the Civil Rights List and the New Commun- ists abstained on grounds that the five were represen- tative only of, the major par- ties. Men's Club Federation Opposes Change in Law NEW YORK—The National Federation of Jewish Men's Clubs (Conservative) has giv- en its support to the stand taken by American leaders of Conservative and Reform Judaism in opposition to al- tering Israel's Law of Return. The present law extends the right of immigration to Israel to anyone "who is born o fa Jewish mother or who has converted." The Ortho- dox seek to add the phrase "according to the Halakha (law)", which would dis- qualify persons converted by Conservative or Reform rab- bis. The organization, headed by I. Murray Jacobs of Detroit, approved a resolution stating that the policy advocated by Orthodox forces "could re- open old wounds and endan- ger the present solidarity of all Jews in Israel and in the Diaspora." on a different question: Who should occupy the first row of seats in the Knesset? According to tradition, one representative for five Knes- set members, sits in the front row. Ma'anakh has 10 seats but it was willing to relin- quish one to the Independent Liberals. Seven seats were reserved for Likud, two for Ma f dal and one for the Aguda bloc. But Likud de- manded eight seats. Rakah also requested one seat for its leader, Meir Wilner. In the meantime, there is no chance whatsoever of a Government of National Unity being formed between the Ma'arakh and Likud parties. Likud had voted against the armistice agreement and separation of force s, and Ma'arakh sees no possibility of corning to an agreement with Likud on the continua- tion of the Geneva Confer- ence.
