Begin's ideas. "I don't see
how any reasonable person
can take issue with this
proposal," Carter repor-
tedly said to Begin after the
call. Senators who heard it
publicly expressed admira-
tion, too.
Then Begin went to Is-
mailia and proposed it to
Sadat, who did not argue
against it but thought well
of it and began talking a bit
about the West Bank. On
the second day of the Is-
mailia meeting, Sadat said
to Begin at lunch, "This is
the happiest day of my life."
This was the day after Sadat
had received Begin's prop-
osal. "You have to ask your-
self," an analyst said, "if
that is the case, what else
could Begin have thought
but that he was on the right
track?"
A few days later, how-
ever, Egypt's media
exploded that Begin was
lucky to have escaped
with his life from Is-
mailia. Suddenly, too, the
White House did not
think Begin had a
reasonable proposal but
that he was intransigent.
About the same time, to
his discomfiture, Begin's
political party, Herut, on
a test vote went 40 per-
cent against him.
Then Sadat came to the
United States in February
with an excellently or-
ganized propaganda setup.
He arrived on a Friday,
spent a weekend at Camp
David, and four more days
in Washington, leaving
here Thursday with a broad
wave of acclaim from the
President on down.
While Begin was in
Washington in December,
Carter phoned Sadat with
the news. At no point in
Sadat's visit did Carter
telephone Begin. No word
was given to Begin about
his talks with Sadat until
the Thursday of his depar-
ture when Ambassador
Samuel Lewis reported to
Begin in Israel. Israeli Am-
bassador Simha Dinitz was
not called to the State De-
partment until that same
Thursday.
. Thus, the Israelis heard
nothing official about the
Sadat visit for seven days.
"Ask yourself," an analyst
said, "how does Begin think
about that? Could not he
have asked 'What have they
conjured up about me?' It all
adds up to Washington mis-
handling Begin."
Begin mishandled him-
self by his stand on the
settlements, the analysts
agreed. "He alienated
many in Congress and a
large part of U.S. public
opinion on that," one ob-
served. "While Sadat was

Actress Denounced for Remarks

against "anti-Semitism and
Fascism." In "Julia," which
is based on a story by Lillian
Hellman, Miss Redgrave
plays Julia, a friend of Miss
Hellman's who worked in
an underground movement
before World War II helping
Jews and others flee the
Nazis.
Jane Fonda, who
played Miss Hellman in
the movie and who was a
controversial figure in
her own right for her out-
spoken anti-Vietnam
War views, said she re-
fused Miss Redgrave's
invitation to participate
in the Palestinian film.
Miss Fonda said she told
Miss Redgrave that it was a
mistake for her to be in the
film and that her views on
the Middle East were "un-

WASHINGTON — Eve-
lyn Wasserstrom of Kansas
City, Mo., was elected pres-
ident of Bnai Brith Women
at the organization's inter-
national biennial conven-
tion in Los Angeles,.
Ms. Wasserstrom is the
immediate past co-
chairman of the National
Conference of Christians
and Jews, Kansas City Reg-
ion, and received its
brotherhood citation "for
her contribution to the im-
provement of human rela-
tions." She has been listed

realistic and can lead only
to more turmoil."
Comedian Alan King said
after the show that he was
"the Zionist hoodlum she
was talking about. It's just a
pity I wasn't on the platform
. I would have gone for the
jugular."
Meanwhile, a Reform and
a Conservative rabbi in
New York offered opposing
views on whether Jews
should see "Julia" in light of
Miss Redgrave's remarks.
"By patronizing any
kind of enterprise from
which this woman makes
money and which she can
use for anti-Israel and
Anti-Zionist purposes —
which is the equivalent to
being anti-Semitic —
comes under the categ-
ory of 'aiding a sinner',"
according to Rabbi
Seymour Siegel.
Rabbi Solomon Freehof,
who represents the Reform
view and has published
many books on Responsa,
said that Halakhically "one
should be forbidden to help
her in any way" if she was
Jewish.
However, he noted, since
Miss Redgrave is not Jewish
and support of Israel is not
one of the original laws of
Noah which all mankind
must follow, Jews can object
that seeing her film will
help the PLO only from a
"moral point" of view not a
Halakhic view.
An Orthodox rabbi who
was asked to comment de-
clined to respond.
On a non-political note,
the best foreign language
film award went to the
French-made "Madame
Rose," directed by an Is-
raeli, Moshe Mizrachi.
Mizrachi was the director
of the Israeli film, "I Love
You Rosa."
One of the five films
nominated for the foreign
language award was "Oper-
ation Thunderbold," the
Israeli-made film on the re-
scue of hostages in Entebbe,
Uganda in July, 1976.

I Don't Want to Sell You A Car.
I Want to Help You Buy One.
You work hard for your money. So do I.
But I don't think that a low price alone is enough to get you to spend your
money at Jerry Glassman Olds, or any other car dealership.
I believe people want to buy their car from a dealership they can put their
trust in. A dealership, that'll work as hard for their money as they did. Making
sure things are right — before, during and after the sale.
When you visit Glassman Olds. well help you pick out a car that's right for
the kind of driving you do. Then we'll quote you a fair price. A price as low as
any in town. Maybe lower.
And, after the sale. you'll find our smiles are just as wide, our handshakes
just as friendly when you come in for a free warranty check.
That's the way I run things at Jerry Glassman Oldsmobile. Come in and see
for yourself.
