U.S. Decides to Wait and See
WASHINGTON (JTA) —
The Carter Administration
had no immediate comment
on the results of the Israeli
election. A State Depart-
rnent spokesman said the
) U.S. would continue to push
for a Middle East peace.
In Geneva, Secretary of
State Cyrus Vance, arriving
for talks with Soviet For-
eign Minister Andrei Gro-
myko, said, "We shall have
to see what sort of govern-
] ment shall emerge. It
,would be unwise to specu-
late until then. -
— The uncertainty over the
election was given as the
reason why Vance and Gro-
my' -- who were due to dis-
cd, /he Middle east in
deptn Wednesday, post-
poned this discussion for a
day or two.
News of the surprise
Likud victory dominated
the table talk Tuesday
when more than 800 per-
sons attended a dinner at
which the Washington
branch of the Zoinist Organ-
ization of America present-
.ed Sen. Hubert H. Hum-
phrey JD-Minn) with the
Justice Louis Brandeis
Award for 1977.

ever wins in the election.

"When it comes to peace
we are all doves," he said.
Meanwhile, Sen. Jacob
Javits (R-NY) said the
Likud victory might be a
plus in the search for a
Middle East peace settle-
ment. He said a more hawk-
ish government would be
able to speak with much
more confidence in terms
of working out some kind of
"deal" with the Arabs.
Javits also suggested that
a Likud-led government
might be able to do more
for solving Israel's econom-
ic problems.
Golda Prefers
Limo to Bus
JERUSALEM — Because
former Prime Minister
Golda Meir did not inform
the Interior Ministry of her
move to suburban Tel Aviv
when she retired in 1974,
she had to travel to. Jerusa-
lem — her former resi-
dence — to vote in
Tuesday's election
Israel has no absentee bal-
lots, but provides a free bus
ticket to citizens who have
moved away from their pol-
ling places. Mrs. Meir said
she would forego the bus
and ride to Jerusalem in
the state limosine provided
to former heads of govern-

Labor Party Is Crushed By Election Defeat
(Continued from Page 18)
just conceded victory to
Likud and the party head-
quarters were almost'
deserted.
Nevertheless, Peres took
the blow well. "It would be
useless to try to cover up
the facts," he said, but he
hinted that the election re-
sults might have been differ-
ent if he had had more time
as its leader to heal Labor's
internal dissension.
Peres assumed party lead-
ership only four weeks ago
after Premier Yitzhak
Rabin resigned because of
the bank account he and his
wife kept in Washington in
violation of Israel's cur-
rency laws. The unhappy
circumstances of Rabin's
departure culminated in a
series of scandals that rock-
ed Labor in recent months
and accelerated defections
from its ranks.
The future of Labor's
uneasy alignment with
Mapam was very much in
doubt. Mapam leader Meir
Talmi said that whatever
the alignment may decide,
Mapam would under no cir-
cumstances join in a coali-
tion government headed by
Likud.
Labor ,fully expected a
loss of some Knesset seats
but it was sure of retaining
enough to form a coalition
with the Democratic Move-
ment for Change (Desh) or
the National Religious
Party (NRP) and one or
two splinter factions to be
able to form a majority gov-
ernment. That hope seems
to have been dashed by the
latest election returns
which gives the alignment
only 33 seats.

The outgoing president of
the NUS, Charles Clarke,
has expressed concern that
it is basically anti-Jewish in
character and not merely
"anti-Zionists" as its sup-
porters claim. This concern
is shared by the new NUS
president, Susan Slipman.
Although a Communist, Ms.
Slipman, who is Jewish,
does not share the extreme
views propounded by Soviet
and Arab propaganda.

He whose moral conduct
means more to him than
his learning, shall have his
wisdom endured.

Arabs Conduct Anti-Zionist
Campaign on U.K. Campuses
LONDON (JTA)—Jewish
students are fighting an up-
hill battle at British univer-
r sities against a concerted
Arab and left-wing cam-
paign to brand Zionism as
racist.
So far, student unions at
seven universities have
passed resolutions equating
Zionism with racism and
thus effectively excluding
any Jewish activities con-
nected with Israel.
The battle reached a peak
last week at Salford Univer-
sity, Lancashire, where a
small Jewish campus group
went ahead with an "Israel
Week" despite the students
union previous decision to
ban it. The Jewish group
succeeded in winning a high
court injunction preventing
. their festivities from being
excluded from the univer-
sity premises.
Nevertheless, the Israeli
program was not completed
without mishap. Despite the
high court decision, the stu-
dent union banned a lecture
C by a local rabbi because of
what the Arabs had termed
"provocative and racist" re-
marks the previous day by
i y w Morris, an Israeli
dit. ,nat.
m
Morris, the Israeli am-
bassador-designate to New
Zealand and an old hand at
student debates, was appar-
ently too successful in show-
ing that it was the anti-Zi-
onists—and not the Zion-
ists—who were the real rac-
ists.
. The anti-Zionist crusade,
which has been going on for
about 18 months, has
aroused the anxiety of both
the National Union of Stu-
dents (NUS) and of the
Board of Deputies of Brit-
ish Jews.

We'd like to thank all of our hundreds of customers
who helped us outgrow our former offices and made it possible
(and necessary!) to move on to bigger things.
And that's where you'll find us—in roomier,
more efficient quarters— when you come to buy your new car.
Along with the new address, we have
a new phone number—and we hope you'll make a note of it.
We also hope you'll remember that our company
has grown because we have some very old-fashioned ideas about
how to do things ... ideas about being nice to people,
treating them fairly, and helping them solve problems instead of
creating new ones.
So even if you're not in the market for a new car right now,
come in and say hello next time you're nearby.
We'll give you the ten-cent tour—for seven cents.
