New Settlement Policy Splits Begin's Coalition JERUSALEM (JTA)—The Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Security Committee voted 14-9 Tuesday to approve a government plan to establish four new settlements in the Samaria region of the West Bank, proposed by Minister of Agriculture Ariel Sharon. The committee acted on the matter after the Democratic Movement for Change (DMC) exercised its right under the coalition agreement to refer disputes over settlement policy to that Knesset body. The DMC is opposed to the establishment of the settle- ments. Sharon told the committee, in the course of a heated debate, that the four settlements were located on barren, uncultivated land far from Arab population centers and did not require the expropriation of privately-owned Arab land. He admitted, however, that some Arab-owned land had been seized by the army for military purposes—a legal form of expropriation—with the intention of turning it over to civilian settlers later. The Israeli Cabinet approved a compromise resolution on Sunday calling for strengthening of the Rafah settlements, but the resolution did not mention new settlements. The session was also significant in that it was the first time a motion submitted by Begin was defeated by the full Cabinet. Begin had proposed that Sharon be designated Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan's deputy at the political committee talks. Ordinarily such a proposal by the Premier would have been tantamount to a fait accompli. But the Cabinet rejected Sharon's participation in the political committee partly because of his hawkish views. Opponents also argued that if Sharon is _appointed to the committee. why not other ministers who are no less qualified, The rejection of Sharon and the unsatisfactory com- . promise on the Sinai settlements constituted a double blow to hard-liners in the government. The Cabinet's moves were explained by observers as a reaction to the widespread publicity over what was described in the media as Sharon's new settlement plans for Sinai and partly to anti-Sharon sentiment among the Agriculture Minister's colleagues. There is also a growing feeling among ministers that any extreme measures now could jeopardize the momentum toward peace. The Jewish National Fund said Monday that it would continue its ground-breaking work in the Rafah salient in (Continued on Page 6) TEL AVIV (JTA)—Israeli Defense Minister Ezer Weizman, in Egypt for the joint Israeli- Egyptian military committee sessions, told reporters, "We are facing another war, not an easy one, the war for peace. We hope that like in all previous wars, we shall be victorious in this one as well." When he left Ben-Gurion airport Wednesday at the head of the Israeli military delegation, Weizman said there would be "difficult moments" during the negotiations but that they would not "prevent us from striving toward the main goal so important to us and the Egyptians alike, peace." Just before the meetings began at Al Tahara Palace in Heliopolis, just outside of Cairo, Israel released the five-point proposals that it is submitting to Egypt. The proposals are: Phased withdrawal of Israeli military forces from Sinai, designation in the Sinai of .areas of liThited forces and armaments, demilitarized zones and the presence of FgER WEIZMAN United Nations forces, maintenance of Israeli settlements in Sinai and the determina- tion of their status, the status of Israeli airfields in Sinai and control or security measures. In his opening address, Weizman reiterated those points and called on Jordan, Syria and Lebanon to join in the peace talks. He said that the senior military officers assembled in Cairo were undertaking a great mission—the termination of wars and the construction of peace for the benefit of the entire region. Weizman said Israel was seeking an arrangement that will permit the continued existence of its settlements in the border area and the proper protection of them. Weizman and Chief of Staff Gen. Mordechai Gur, who is a member of the Israeli military delegation, briefed the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Security Committee before leaving for Egypt. According to their summa- tion, the deliberations of the military committee will focus on two central issues: how to reach a peace agreement with Egypt under conditions that will not jeopardize Israel's security and how Egypt would react were Israel to become embroiled in hostile acts with other Arab countries.

The resolution, which was also signed by more that 100 law professors, was sent to Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev. The signatories charged that the Soviet government has held Sharansky incommunicado since March 15; that no counsel has been provided or permitted to the imprisoned human rights activist; that on Dec. 15 the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet "in a special, secret decree applied only to Sharansky, has extended for an additional six months his incommunicado investigation and interrogation despite the absence of any express provision of law or constitution authorizing such action"; and that the Soviet government "will give no assurances that Sharansky's trial, if one is held, will not be secret." The resolution, which was adopted at the recent annual meeting of the Association of American Law Schools in Atlanta, Georgia, said all these actions "run counter to the Rule of Law, minimum standards of justice and Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant of Political and Civil Rights, and the Helsinki Final Act."

James Christianson, Ch. 56 general manager, said the Nazis' statements violated the station's guidelines "for what is accept-, able to be shown and said on a public access program." The show was scheduled to be aired last night on "It's Your Turn," which allows community groups to state their views. One of the Nazis said his group would either ship blacks back to Africa "or plant (bury) them." Another displayed a poster which said "Nigger Beware." One of the Nazi spokesmen was William Russell, who opened a Nazi bookstore on W. Vernor in Detroit several weeks ago. Community groups in the west side neighborhood have contin- ued sporadic picketing against the store. (Continued on Page 8)
