Blumenthal Reassures Israel of Continued Economic Aid
JERUSALEM—U.S. Sec-
retary of the Treasury W.
Michael Blumenthal
assured Israel Tuesday that
the U.S. remained
indefinitely committed to
help Israel reach its eco-
nomic goals. He used the
phrase "indefinitely" at a
press conference here wrap-
ping up his- two-day visit,
and it plainly gave Israeli
economic officials a great
deal of satisfaction.
Israeli sources added that
in his talks here with Begin,
Ehrlich, Weizman, Dayan
and others the visitor had
indicated the U.S. did not
intend to cut back its aid to
Israel this year — on the
contrary he even appeared
to indicate that the figures
might increase.
The sources said, too, that
Blumenthal had reported to
Israeli leaders on the bad
and worsening economic sit-
uation of Egypt (which he
visited before coming to
Israel). His deduction was
that Egypt desperately
needed and sincerely
wanted a peace settlement.
His own assessment was
that this could come about
within three years.
Simha Ehrlich and his
guest agreed during the
visit on the establishment of
an $80 million-dollar joint
agricultural research and
development fund. They
also headed a meeting of
the "U.S.-Israel Joint Com-
mittee for Investment and
Trade" (set up by their

`Gush Have No
Private Police'
TEL AVIV (JTA)—The
national police dismissed as
nonsense Monday charges
that the Gush Emunim were
maintaining a private police
force at Kiryat Arba, the
Orthodox settlement adja-
cent to Hebron on the West
Bank.
The charges originated
with Labor MK Yossi Sarid
and others who noted that
the 14 members of the
Kiryat Arba force are all
yeshiva students who
answered ads from the pro-
Gush community.
According to the police,
the religious youths were
duly enlisted in the local
force which is subordinate
to the much larger border
police force in the Hebron
area.

LIMA (JTA)—Gen. (Ret.)
Eduardo Mercado Jarrin,
former prime minister and
foreign minister of Peru,
believes that because Israel
presently enjoys military
superiority and the Arab
states are superior in the
political sphere, there is an
opportunity to achieve a
peaceful- settlement of the
Middle East conflict.
Jarrin made his remarks
in an address to the Jewish
Association, the representa-
tive body of Peruvian
Jewry.
Rabinowitz and William
Simon) and there the U.S.
side gave assurances that
Israel would have access to
raw materials and grain
even in the event of a U.S.
decision to impose export
controls on these basic
commodities.
Jerusalem Mayor Teddy
Kollek announced earlier he
would not host Blumenthal
on a tour of the Israeli capi-
tal because U.S. Embassy
authorities told . him he
could "only show the west-
ern part of the city and not
the eastern part," which
was annexed after the city's
unification in the 1967
Middle East war.
An embassy spokesman
said the U.S. "cannot do
anything that recognized
Israeli sovereignty over
east Jerusalem." Blumen-
thal, who learned of the Kol-
lek snub only at the airport,
said he was sorry but "it's
one of those diplomatic situ-
ations that require me to
follow protocol."
He also visited Kibutz
Givat Haim on Monday to
spend time with his cousin,
Arye David.
