Iraq-Kurdish Conflict Could Affect Israel Talks JERUSALEM (JTA) — Is- raelis are watching with great interest developments in Iraq's northern provinces where a new armed confron- tation appears imminent be- tween the Iraqi army and re- bellious. Kurds led by Mulla Mustafa Barzani. An ultimatum the Bagh- dad regime handed Barzani 15 days ago expired Tuesday with no indication that the Custom Room Decorations rebels would accept the lim- ited autonomy plan offered them by the Baathist govern- ment. The government threatens to implement the plan by force. B arzani's 15,000-strong guerrilla army—Pesh Merjha —has been freshly equipped with weapons and is pre- pared to resist. Although these events are remote from Israel and are not directly involved in the Arab-Israeli conflict, what happens in the northern reaches of Iraq could have considerable b e a ring on whether there is a disen- gagement agreement or re- For JOE MILLER Children & Nursery and HIS ORCHESTRA Call Karen Music For Al?

C., argues in an article in Harper's maga- zine that the Arabs will never be prepared to make a lasting peace with the state of Israel. To think otherwise-, he says, is to live with a dan- gerous illusion. The Arab goal, writes Perlmutter, has always been and continues to be the dismemberment and liquidation of the Jewish state. The author concedes that the Arab world is not of one mind, and that there are widely divergent viewpoints as to policy vis-a-vis Israel. . But these differences, he maintains, concern the means to achieve the objective of dissolution of the Jewish state and not the end itself. American and Soviet pres- sures, he says, may force acceptance, for a time, of a cessation of hostilities. This is merely an extended cease fire that will ultimately erupt into new fighting, the professor claims. Israelis, he warns, must guard against the illusion of peace. They have no real choice other than to remain militarily strong in order to safeguard their very exist- ence. This condition, Perlmutter adds, is one that may endure for generations, and Israel had better face up to the reality. THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Friday, March 29, 1974-41 Hebrew Day School Expansion Slows NEW YORK (JTA) — Ini- tial reports from Hebrew day schools throughout the United States indicate that such day school enrollment is still growing though at a somewhat slower pace than in past years, according to a summary by Torah Ume- sorah, the National Society of Hebrew Day Schools.

According to the report, there are now 413 day schools in the United States and 50 in Canada. Torah Umesorah officials estimat- ed total day school enroll- ment at 81,000 students in the United States and 11,800 in Canada. Officials said that in some urban areas day school en- rollment had reached a pla- teau but that in suburban areas, enrollment continued to grow. 1 personalized center- ERIC ROSENOW and his Continentals 0 398- 3664 F pieces, favors, & invitations for all occasions.
