In a major political state- ment at the EEC's summit meeting in London, the nine also said Israel „should give up territory occupied since 1967 while the Arabs should recognize Israel's right to secure and recognized boundaries.

At the outset of the meet- ing, newsmen heard Carter tell the delegation that there was a chance a Middle East peace could be achieved "within the next number of months." He said the U.S. continues to have unswerving support for Israel while at the same time there had to be open, frank and sometimes dis- puted discussions between the two countries. Carter said that he had outlined concepts that will be difficult for the Arab leaders to accept.

Eban Trip to United States JERUSALEM—The Labor Alignment is in a furor over a proposal by the Likud government to send former Foreign Min- ister Abba Eban to the U.S. to explain Israel's position to American officials and the public. Eban, A labor member of the Knesset, has discussed the suggestion with Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan and seems inclined to accept it. But many members of the Labor Alignment say it would be outrageous for Eban to speak in America on behalf of Likud. Yitzhak Navon said that many people in the U.S. would not understand the subtle but important differ- ence between the national concensus over the need for secure borders, meaning no return to the 1967 lines, and the general attitude of Likud. Eban has countered such arguments by stressing that if he accepted the Likud proposal he would express his own ideas and Likud knows exactly what his ideas are. Eban has discussed the matter at length with Labor Party leader Shimon Peres and will also sound out American Jewish leaders before deciding whether to make the trip. Last week Eban stormed out of the Knesset after Labor refused to seat hirri on the Knesset Foreign Af- fairs and Defense Com- mittee. Eban, who was slated to be foreign minister if Labor had won the May 17 elec- tions, was passed over in favor of Peres, former Pre- mier Yitzhak Rabin, former Foreign Minister Yigal Allon, former Justice Min- ister Haim Zadok, former Minister of Commerce and Industry Haim Barley, Yitz- hak Navon and Meir Talmi of Mapam. Political analysts believe that the Alignment will eventually allow Peres to re- sign the post in favor of Eban. Airport Attackers Are Secretly Tried TEL AVIV—Two West German and three Arabs went on trial before a se- cret military court Wednes- day, accused of trying to shoot down an Israeli air- liner with missles at the Nairobi, Kenya, airport last year. The five were caught by Israeli agents a few days after the foiled attack, and they were held secretly until last March, when it was announced they would go on trial. An unconfirmed British newspaper report said last year that Ugandan Presi- dent Idi Amin, who is on bad terms with neighboring Kenya, had given Soviet an- ti-aircraft missles to the five.

It means a way of conduct ; the man- ner in which responsible Jews conducted them- selves. The force of certain cus- toms became binding in ac- cordance with Jewish law. This indicated the power of the organized community in generating laws through procedures which pious people adopted as their way of life. These ways eventu- ally gained the authority of law as they became the way of life for the Jewish people.
