• THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS ORT France on- -TV Arab Student Guard Duty Protest Sees No Violence JERUSALEM (JTA) — Arab students holding an orderly demonstration on the Hebrew University cam- pus last week refused to be provoked by threats of vio- lence from a small group of right-wing Jewish students who were apparently trying to precipitate a clash over the refusal of Arab students to stand guard duty in the • dormitories. Cooler heads prevailed among the Jewish student body but the Arab students, although they failed to win their point on guard duty, clearly emerged the "heroes" of the incident by not succumbing to provoca- tion. The three-hour demon- stration, addressed by Arab student leaders, was held to protest the expulsion of two Arab students and the im- minent expulsion of eight others who have refused, as a matter of conscience, to stand guard duty with their Jewish dorm-mates.

TR 5-0300 TEL AVIV (JTA) — The military government is drawing up plans to find al- ternative jobs for thousands of Arabs on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip who may be thrown out of work as a result of the anticipated in- crease in unemployment in Israel resulting from the government's new austerity economic program. Most of the West Bank Arab labor force is em- ployed in the construction trades which will be hardest hit by cutbacks in govern- ment spending. Plans call for absorbing them in agriculture, road building and other public works.

There was also a large- scale slowdown in agricul- tural production and in factories where West Bank and Gaza Strip workers are employed. Except for a small num- ber who find work in the Persian Gulf oil states, Ar- abs in the administered ter- ritories prefer to stay there and work in Israel, - military government circles said. . The reason is the high liv- ing standards they have come to enjoy under Israeli administration. They re- ceive good wages in Israel and some of the most mod- ern and expensive household appliances and furnishings can be fourid in Arab homes on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. In the latter ter- ritoryi-virtually all Arab car owners have traded in their old models for new ones during the past two years.

They said guard duty was "duty of a security na- ture" which their consci- ence forbade them to parti- cipate in since it - is ultimately directed against other Arabs. When the issue first came up last month, Arab stu- dents contended that if they participated in guard duty they would be charged by Palestinian militants as Is- raeli collaborators, and that if a terrorist attack occurred while they were on guard duty the Israelis would hold them responsible. The Arab students have offered to do alternative duties, such as standing first aid shifts, but the uni- versity authorities rejected the offer, insisting that guard duty is an obligation of all students and was not of a security nature.
