Yadin Called
TEL AVIV (JTA)—The
Democratic Movement for
Change (DMC) is in tur-
moil again. This _time it is
over the issue of internal de-
mocracy. Several groups
within the DMC feel that
the pervasive role played
by Yigael Yadin is less
than democratic.
Yadin is the chairman of
the movement. chairman of
the Knesset faction, head of
the secretariat and head of
a team negotiating—with
Likud. One DMC leader
said Yadin should decide
which title he wants and let
others play roles as well.
Yadin's critics and oppo-
nents are generally those
who are opposed to joining
the Likud-led government
coalition. The DMC is di-
vided on this issue. with a
slight majority in favor of
joining the coalition. -Never-
theless. the fear of a con-
frontation between the fac-
tions within the DMC has re-
sulted in a postponement of
the DMC council meeting
which had been scheduled
for today.
Those who advocated the
postponement claimed that
Yadin should be given the
opportunity to end his talks
with Premier Menahem
Begin either by telling him
that the DMC will or will
not loin. The council has to
approve either decision in
advance.
