Interment New York. 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. Connie Saulson, JWV Head, Squash Player-Teacher, Dies Elconan H.
