Israel Cabinet's Formation Unsettled; Religious Party Balking

JERUSALEM (JTA)—The
Labor Alignment was divided
Wednesday over whether to
make concessions to the Na-
tional Religious Party to
draw it into a new coalition
at any price or try to form
a narrow coalition with the
Independent Liberal and Cit-
izens Rights parties that
would provide the govern-
ment with a precarious mar-
gin of only one Knesset seat.
The Alignment's Mapai
wing was reportedly ready to
go "half way" toward meet-
ing the NRP's demands on
the Who Is a Jew issue
which, if acceptable to the
Religious Party, would as-
sure a government headed by
Yitzhak Rabin and the ex-
clusion of Defense Minister
Moshe Dayan. But Rabin was
said to be determined not to
wait beyond this Friday for
the NRP to reverse its de-
cision against joining a
Labor-led coalition. He would
presumably then go ahead
with negotiations with the
ILP and the CRP headed by
Shulamit Aloni.
(On Monday, the NRP's
executive committee decided
unanimously not to join the
Labor-led coalition govern-
ment. NRP secretary gener-
al Zvi Bernstein announ-1
ced the result of the voting

in which only one member
abstained. The NRP's mili-
tant "young guard," elated
by the party's decision, pro-
posed the formation of an
NRP-Likud coalition.)
Finance Minister Pinhas
Sapir, Rabin's chief support-
er for the premiership,
warned that a government
based on only 61 of the 120
Knesset seats would be "a
very dangerous thing." Other
Labor leaders have ex-
pressed fear that exclusion of
the NRP would force it into
a coalition with Likud, creat-
ing a 54-seat opposition bloc
in the Knesset, the largest in
Israel's history.
Labor's Mapai wing also
harbors a distinct aversion
for Mrs. Aloni, who bolted
the party to run for the Knes-
set on her own and succeeded
in getting elected. Premier
Golda Meir personally dis-
likes the outspoken Knesseter
who has been a persistent
critic of her policies and
does not want to see her in
the cabinet.
Whatever the Labor Align-
ment decides in the next few
days, it will have a difficult
time 'breaking the coalition
deadlock. The NRP has said
it will accept no new pro-
posals from Labor mainly be-
cause Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi

Shlomo Goren has ruled out
any compromise short of
complete surrender to Ortho-
dox demands on the Who Is
a Jew issue. The NRP, which
defied Goren when it joined
Mrs. Meir's government in

March, is not considered
likely to do so again. On the
other side, both Mapam and
the ILP have made it clear
that they will not counten-
ance further concessions to
the religious establishment.

Paris Christians Relate Israel Support

Jewish Agency Answers Critics

BUENOS AIRES (JTA)—
Uzi Narkiss, head of the
Jewish Agency's immigra-
tion department, replied in-
directly here to a prominent
local Zionist leader who re-
cently expressed to the Jew-
ish Telegraphic Agency the
view that "Aliya Month"
would produce no immigrants
and who was sharply critical
of Jewish Agency and World
Zionist Organization methods
in Latin America.
Narkiss, who will be visit-
ing Rosario, Mendoza and
Bahia Blanca in addition to
Buenos Aires in connection
with "Aliya Month," spoke
at a luncheon given by the
Argentine Zionist Organiza-
tion.
He described the effort to
stimulate aliya as a "total
mobilization" of all Is -raeli
embassies, emissaries and
local supportive organiza-
tions to reach a maximum
number of Jews "with whom
otherwise we have no contact
whatsoever." He said "Aliya
Month" was conceived be-
fore the Yom Kippur War
and was being carried out in
spite of opposition from some
quarters.
"Even if no queues form
at our -offices for immigra-
tion, it is an important Zion-
ist action and its success
will not be measured in
numbers of olim but in terms
of Judaism and Zionism,"
Narkiss said He conceded
that absorption problems in
Israel were difficult, but
said "You should not think
we don't care about this."
Narkiss sharply criticized
a recent article in the Is-
raeli daily Haaretz, which
predicted a very high per-
centage of "yordim" — Is-
raelis who permanently leave
Israel. According to Narkiss,
Haaretz's figures were ex-
aggerated.
He said the average emi-
gration was about 10 per

cent for all immigrant groups
— less than 1 per cent for
Russian Jews and about 20
per cent for American Jews.

Americans Like
Israelis, Decline
Emigration

NEW YORK (ZINS)—The
much disputed poll of Is-
raelis which found 10 per
cent of the population wish-
ing to emigrate, compares
with a poll of Americans age
18-29, in which 10 per cent
expressed a desire to emi-
grate. The Americans wished
to go to Canada, Australia
and England.
Compared to other Western
countries, Americans have
the least desire to leave their
country.
Another Gallup poll con-
ducted in seven other coun-
tries produced the following
results: in Uruguay 41 per
cent of the inhabitants ex-
pressed a wish to leave for
America or Canada; 39 per
cent of Englishmen want to
emigrate to Australia or New
Zealand;- 21 per cent of the
Swiss people would like to
live in America or Australia;
15 per cent of Canadians ex-
pressed a wish to emigrate
to the United States; 13 per
cent of Australians would
like to come to America or
New Zealand; 13 per cent of
Spaniards would prefer to
live in either Germany or
France.

More Arab Terror

ROME (ZINS) — Europe
is bracing itself against the
threats of a new Arab cam-
paign of violence of major
proportions, informed sources
reported. Security has been
tigntened at all airports and
some have been put in an
emergency footing.
