in many areas — over the 28
years of the state's exist-
ence. He conceded, though,
that the question of Arab
participation in decision-
making processes relating
to the life of the Arab sector
needed "review."
There would also be
greater efforts, under the
government's new panels
set up Sunday, towards
fuller integration of Arabs
in all walks of national
life. The chairmen had
complained that few Arabs
were employed in govern-
ment service.
Reactions among the
chairmen who attended the
meeting were on the whole
favorable. Jalal Abu Toe-
meh, head of the Baka el
Garbiye Council, said the
cabinet decision to set up a
Jewish-Arab council (it will
reportedly comprise 60 per-
sons) was a "possible break-
through."
Sakhnin's council head
Jamal Jarrabiye also felt
that the meeting with the
Premier and the Cabinet
decisions that had preceded
it marked a positive turn in
the government's approach.
But Rakah, the New Com-
munist Party, which is pow-
erfully ensconced in the
Arab sector, came out
strongly against the govern-
ment's policies. The party
challenged the government
to revoke the land appropri-
ations as the only credible
sign of its purported good
intentions.

UNITED NATIONS
(JTA) — Israeli Ambassa-
dor Chaim Herzog met with
Secretary General Kurt
Waldheim Monday to con-
vey the Israeli government's
position with respect to re-
newal of the United Nations
Disengagement Observer
Force (UNDOF) mandate on
the eve of Waldheim's visit
to Damascus.
Herzog reportedly reiter-
ated that Israel is ready to
extend the UNDOF man-
date, which expires Sunday,
with no conditions attached
and on the basis of the dis-
engagement agreement
signed between Israel and
Syria two years ago.
According to diplomatic
sources, the secretary gen-
eral believes that Syria
needs the excuse of a per-
sonal appeal from him to
agree to an extension of UN-
DOF on the Golan Heights.
Although the Syrians have
not yet indicated their in-
tentions, it is believed here
that they will agree at the
Cal brand.
The idea for the product
was the by-product of one
of his many philanthropic
activities. As vice presi-
dent of the Jewish Sani-
tarium for Chronic Di-
seases, he and his son,
Morris, had become con-
cerned about the lack of a
last moment to renew UN-
DOF.
Israel is taking strong
precautionary measures in
view of the unpredictable
nature of the Damascus
regime and in anticipation
of a new flare-up of terror-
ist activity from southern
Lebanon.
Herzog also reportedly
told Waldheim that Israel
supports reconvening the
Geneva peace conference
with the participation of the
original parties that were
invited by the conference co-
chairmen, the U.S. and
USSR, on Dec. 18, 1973.
It was learned, mean-
while, that Security Council
members have reached an
impasse in their consulta-
tions over a consensus state-
ment that would deplore
Israel's occupation practices
on the West Bank. Sources
here said the U.S. had ex-
pressed dissatisfaction with
the phrasing of the state-
ment. While a consensus
statement is not subject to
veto, it requires unanimous
endorsements by Security
Council members.
Sources said that in view
of the American objections,
the Arab states are likely to
press for an earlier Egyp-
tian draft resolution con-
demning Israel despite the
risk of a U.S. veto. The de-
bate over the West Bank,
which began more than
three weeks ago, remains
suspended and there was no
indication when the Secu-
rity Council will reconvene.
Retirement Board. She also
was an analyst with the
State Department of Labor
and for the United States
Wage and House Adminis-
tration.
In 1942, Mrs. Handlin
was named research histo-
rian of the Social Science
Research Council, a post
she held for four years.
She was assistant editor of
the Harvard Guide to
American History,
1950-54, and editor for the
Center for the Study of the
History of Liberty in
America at Harvard at her
death.
In 1948, the Handlins

Origins of Anti-Semitism in
the United States," a book-
let published by the Anti-
Defamation League of Bnai
Brith.
