Further Compromise Ruled Out on Linkage Issue

(Continued from Page 1)
response to the American
compromise plan and the
latest thinking in Cairo on
the Middle East peace talks
generally. The officials said
the meeting was arranged
at Egypt's request.
President Anwar Sadat
said Tuesday that he would
send Carter a formal expla-
nation of Egypt's position on
e peace talks. Top level
ptian officials are draw-
ing up a working paper on
the subject.
According to the influen-
tial Cairo newspaper Al-
Gomhouria, the message
Khamlil is bringing from
Sadat sets out Egypt's final
attitude on the peace -
negotiations with Israel.
The paper said the message
will deal with the issue of

linkage in terms that will be
"specific, clear, and not sub-
ject to interpretation." It
will also contain Egypt's
remarks on some clauses of
the treaty draft, especially
"Egypt's Arab commit-
ments and the legal rights
of defense."
Israel is standing on
the letter of the Camp
David frameworks which
contain no linkage be-
tween the treaty and
other issues. It rejects out
of hand Egypt's demand
for a timetable or for an
Egyptian administrative
presence in the Gaza
Strip to de'al with au-
tonomy there.
In another issue related
to the treaty, Dayan told a
press conference in
Jerusalem that the U.S. has
promised to build two new

Hertzberg: Priorities of U,S.
Jews Are 'Suicidally Wrong'

NEW YORK (JTA) —
The "fatal and suicidal de-
lusion of American Jewry"
is that it can assure its fu-
ture through philanthropic
and defense activities,
Rabbi Arai& Hertzberg de-
clared at the Bnai Brith
Critical Issues Forum,
which devoted its latest
meeting to the need for free
Jewish day schools.
"Real needs have been
met and continue to be met
and I do not downgrade
them," Hertzberg em-
phasized. "But the idea that
involvement in funding
hospitals, fighting anti-
Semitism, or defe-nding Is-
'mei will help to preserve
the Jewish people- is simply
not true. It is not true even

though we are doing a su-
perb job in each of these
areas. Andit would not be
true even if we were doing
twice as well."
. If a Jew wants to be an
airline pilot and a shomer
Shabat, "we will fight his
case to the Supreme Court,"
Hertzberg said, "and we will
never worry about the ex-
pense. But to teach about
Sabbath observance we do
not .have funds. Our
priorities are insanely and
suicidally wrong. And by
maintaining them we are
not going to have Jewish
great-grandchildren who
care."
As a Zionist, "I was told
that the re-establishment
of the state of Israel
would preserve the
Jewish community,"
Hertzberg continued. "lit
1948 the rate otintermar-
riage was one in 12.
Today it is one in three,
which is what it has al-
ways been in every third
generation of Jews living
in an open society."
The only answer is
JeWish day school educa-
tion, which must be made
available to all families, re-
gardless of ability to pay,
Hertzberg said. "If we do not
cultivate our interior ethos,
if we do not raise a genera-
tion to care, within 30 years
half of our Jews will be
gone, and in a few genera-
tions we will have no one
left to protect." _ _
Calling Jewish day school
education for all "indis
pensable," Hertzberg
stressed that he has no
quarrel with current Jewish
efforts in the philanthropic
and defense areas. These
things must. be done, and
"we are doing them su-
perbly," he said. "But we are
evaporating at the usual
rate.'
Hertzberg is spiritual
leader of Temple Emanu-El
in Englewood, N.J., a pro-
fessor of history at Colum-
bia University in New
York, and author, most re-
cently, of "Being Jewish in
America," a collection of his
essays on contemporary
themes to be published by
Schocken next Jpnuary.

Negev air bases within a
year, and if they are not
completed within three
years as provided_ in the
Camp David agreements
the U.S. would provide al-
ternatives. Dayan would
not elaborate.
Israel's Labor Pary lead-
ership, meanwhile, agreed
to suspend any decision on
the peace treaty until it is
brought before the Knesset
for ratification.
In New York Tuesday,
Simha Dinitz and Ashraf

Ghorbal, the Israeli and
Egyptian ambassadors to
the U.S., expressed hope
that a peace treaty will soon
be signed between their
countries.
The envoys shared the
platform at a luncheon
given by the Anti-
Defamation League of Bnai
Brith at which the ADL's
Hubert H. Humphrey Free-
dom Prize was awarded to

sonalities — John Chancel-
lor of NBC, Walter Cronkite
