JERUSALEM (JTA) —
The Labor Alignment cur-
rently faces a severe prob-
lem: is it ready to challenge
the government's policy re-
garding the peace negotia-
tions by presenting to the
public a clearly different set
of alternative views?
For the present, the
Alignment seems reluctant
to advocate such a funda-
mentally different ap-
proach, thus, in effect, con-

firming the government's
contention that there is a
basic national consensus
with regards to Israel's min-
imal conditions for peace.
The Alignment's confu-
sion has been accentuated
since the Leeds Castle con-
ference in mid-July, where
Foreign Minister Moshe
Dayan announced Israel's
readiness to discuss a ter-
ritorial compromise over
the West Bank. Until Leeds
the Alignment had accused
the government pf missing
the chance for peace by re-
fusing to suggest to Egypt
that territorial compromise
might be the basis for a sol-
ution to the problem of the
West Bank's status.

At Leeds, Dayan men-
tioned thsit solution, ask-
ing the Egyptian Foreign
Minister Mohammed
Kaamel whether his
country would agree to
consider it. Kaamel out-
rightly rejected the prop-
osal, stressing Egypt's
formal and oft-stated
position that none of the
occupied territories are
subject to negotiation:
they must be returned in
total.

Begin of Kaamel's negative
reaction and planned the
next step: a public an-
nouncement of the govern-
ment's readiness to discuss
a territorial compromise
over Judea and Samaria.
In a TV interview, Begin
hastened to announce the
Egyptian refusal, preparing
the country for an official
statement made by Dayan
in the Knesset the next day.
Dayan's statement that
Israel is ready to hold seri-
ous talks about a territorial
compromise is interpreted
by official circles here as a
genuine effort to find new
channels of negotiations be-
tween Israel and Egypt.
Were Kaamel to have re-
sponded positively, Israel
would indeed have sincerely
begun negotiating this pos-
sibility, the circles claim.

In fact, Dayan's offer,
paradoxically, prompted
Egyptian President
Anwar Sadat to harden
his position by declaring
that he would not resume
negotiations unless Is-
rael declared it would
withdraw from ter-
ritories occupied in the
Six-Day War. It took
President Carter's sum-
mit plan for Camp David
next month to shift Sadat
from this new obdurate-
ness.

Whatever its motive,
Dayan's maneuver at Leeds
Castle compells the Align-
ment to reconsider its posi-
tions with regard to the
negotiations.
In order now to challenge
the government's policy, the
Labor Alignment must de-
cide whether it would ac-
cept Sadat's conditions
which included: total with-
drawal from territories oc-
cupied in the Six-Day War,
a removal of all Jewish set-
tlements in Judea, Samaria
and Sinai Peninsula; and
the establishment of sec-
urity measures such as
international-manned elec-
tronic warning stations and
demilitarized zones.
Only by agreeing to such
conditions will the Align-
ment truly represent a sig-
nificant different view than
that now advanced by the
government itself, because
by advocating its present
views (territorial com-
promise, the existence of
Jewish settlements in
selected partS of the ad-
ministered areas, and so
on), the Alignment does not
differ substantially, fun-
damentally, from the gov-
ernment's policy as enun-
ciated by Dayan, and con-
sequently does not fulfill its
role as the main opposition
party.

of
"Almost the entire state

of Michigan has a layer of
antrium shale under-
ground," said Prof. Shlomo
Carmi of Wayne State Uni-
versity, a graduate of the
Technion — Israel Institute
of Technology. "If it can be
properly utilized it will be
enough to independently
supply the state's energy
needs. We've already had
some positive results."
Prof. Carmi is currently
on sabbatical at the Techn-
ion serving as Isaac Taylor
Visiting Professor on
Energy in the department of
mechanical . engineer's
energy laboratory.
His Michigan research is
part of a vast project funded
by the Energy Research De-
velopment Administration
of the federal government
through the Dow Chemical
Corp. The basic research is
being carried out by re-
search teams at the Wayne
State University Energy
Center and other institu-
tions.
Because the Michigan
oil shale is located nearly
2,000 feet below the earth's
surface, mining is not feasi-
ble, Prof. Carmi explains.
So the researchers are at-
tempting to break it up
under the ground and burn
it on the spot, turning part
of it into natural gas. Prof.
Carmi is studying models of

ing the most efficient
method.
The study isexpected to
last a total of five years,
after which things should
start moving if it's economi-
cally feasible," he said.
Prof. Carmi was born in
Romania and educated in
Israel. As an undergraduate
in physics, he was awarded
a Technion scholarhip to
study mining in South Af-
rica. There he gained the
basic knowledge needed to
carry out the present oil
shale project. He received
his graduate degrees from
the University of Min-
nesota, before moving on to
WSU. He has also served in
teaching positions at the
Technion, and at the Ben-
Gurion University of the
Negev.
When he returns to De-
troit following his year in
Israel, he will continue
work at the shale project
and on yet another energy
related project — seeking to
save oil by producing a mix-
ture of coal and oil that can
be used as fuel.
