WASHINGTON (JTA)— President Carter's new pol- icy of restraint on the sale and transfer of - weapons abroad could affect Israeli- American military arrange- ments, sources here con- firmed this week. The Pres- ident announced his intention to cut down arms -sales. The State Department said that the U.S. "guide- lines" on arms now is to ban the introduction of ad- vanced weapons and equip- ment that would signifi- cantly elevate the recipient country's military power; to impose restraints on the - co-production of advanced weapons systems, and to control the transfer of weapons to third parties. A major issue between Israel and the U.S. has been Israel's request for co-pro- duction rights for the Amer- ican F-16 jet fighter and other sophisticated military equipment. The U.S. so far has withheld that authority which Israel seeks for eco- nomic as well as military reasons. Israeli sources confirmed that bilateral matters were discussed between - Premier Menahem Begin and Presi- dent Carter at their White House meetings last week- end. Bye-Bye Liberals? TEL AVIV (JTA)—The decimated Independent Lib- eral Party, reduced from four seats to one in the Knesset in last May's elec- tions, may disappear from Israel's political map if its sole MK, Gideon Hausner, joins Likud. Rumors abound that such a move is immi- nent. the Bedouins. The Bedouins have not forgotten him. The decided to de something in order to demonstrate their gratitude to him. They pre- pared a big meal for him according to the Bedouin custom with slaughtered sheep, rice, Turkish coffee. But the biggest sensation was their decision to regis- ter Efrat in the Golden Book of the Keren Kayemet L'Israel in order to perpetu- ate his memory. In their dedication in the Golden Book they wrote: "After long years of com- mon activity to build a bridge, mutual under- standing and friendship." There follows a passage from the Bible saying that "He embraced firm, fell upon his neck and kissed him." crops of the Bedouins tripled through government help. The tractor replaced the camel. Agricultural work in the Negev was mod- ernized. Agricultural spe- cialists came from abroad to study the Israeli agricul- tural development of the Negev. The Bedouins became so fond of the modern • tech- nology and machines, that they put away their camels. The number of camels in the Negev has decreased in recent years. Bedouins started to work in factories, hotels and restaurants. Efrat told us, that in the beginning the Bedouins dis- appeared from work when they received their first paycheck. He had to work hard to convince them that these were steady jobs. They had to adapt them- selves to working conditions in the country. They follow the Jewish way of life. The revolutionary changes in the life of the Bedouins did not bring them closer to the Jews. Efrat thinks that the young Bed- ouins are radical. Now Efrat has decided to go back to his kibutz. He has neglected his home and family for years working for cafe for hours and listen to the Arabs speaking Arabic. Being the shepherd of the kibutz, he met during his work many Bedouin shep- herds and talked to them in their own language. In 1942, the kibutz decided to appoint Efrat to "mukh- tar" (sheriff) owing to his close and friendly contacts with the Arab neighbors and Bedouins and knowledge of Arabic. He used to ride on horse to the Bedouin tribes in the Negev, and to help them settle their affairs in the government offices in Gaza and Beersheba. The Bedouins - respected and liked him. He was re- garded as one of them, ac- quiring their habits and manners. In 1947 his Arab friends warned him, that he and his kibutz might be endangered by Arabs, who were incited by Arab nationalists. Efrat later became the director of the Arab depart- ment of Histadrut. When Moshe Dayan became Min- ister for Agriculture, he ap- pointed him as representa- tive for Bedouin affairs.
