G. • NEW YORK (JTA) — Two Tel Aviv University experts on the Middle East warned here against the re- liance of the United States on the stability of the Saudi Arabian government for its future energy needs. The two were among American and Israeli par- ticipants in an all-day con- ference on "United States Energy Policy and its Impli- cation for Israel and Saudi Arabia.

The warnings came from Prof. Haim Shaked, director of the Tel Aviv University's Shiloah In- stitute, and Maj. Gen. Aharon Yariv (ret.), di- rector of the university's Center for Strategic Studies. "While the Saudi record has been one of surprising stability thus far," Shaked said, "we cannot on the basis of ex- ternal and domestic fac- tors, depend on the Saudis as a solid rock which will not be exposed to major changes." Yariv said that "those in the Middle East who possess an American orientation look to the United States for credibility, but the de- velopments in Iran are un- dermining this and upset- ting the Saudis greatly." He also warned that "instabil- ity in the Middle East is vis- ible for a long time to come and militates against U.S. interests." Yariv noted the U.S. "erroneously" believes that by resolving the Arab- Israel conflict with "heavy Israeli concessions will ipso facto resolve the regional stability." Prof. Uzi Arad, also of Tel Aviv University, declared that "the rapid rise in U.S. dependence on Arab oil from 31 percent in 1973 to 48 percent last year is a major contribution to the HAPPY AND JOYOUS HANUKA FROM HISTADRUT, THE BUILDERS OF ISRAEL At Hanuka give the children of Israel — Israel's Future The greatest gift of all — GOING TO SCHOOL WITH HISTADRUT SCHOLARSHIPS A Histadrut Scholarship is for any kind of school Amal Vocational Schools Academic High Schools Religious Seminaries University For All Boys and Girls — Jewish, Christian, Moslem, Druze Contributors to date of Annual Scholarships, 1978-79 $250 Add your name to this impressive list Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Agins Mr. Marc Berkman Mr. and Mrs. Alex Blumenberg Mr. and Mrs. Morris Lieberman Mr. Abram Medow Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Medow Mrs. Adele Mondry Mr. and Mrs. Irving Pokempner Mr. and Mrs. Moe Saslove Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Schiff Mrs. Sidney M.

At the same time, he noted, the U.S. has hardly any defense forces in the Persian Gulf and so its best course "is a reduction in dependence on Persian Gulf oil." . The consensus of those at the meeting, according to Haim Ben-Shahar, president of Tel Aviv Uni- versity and an economist, is that "the U.S. dollar will be strengthened and the power of the OPEC nations di- minished only through the deregulation of fuel prices in the United States and the lessening of restrictions on the development of coal and nuclear energy."

MDA Recognition Campaign Editor, The Jewish News: In his acceptance speech at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony in Oslo, Prime Minister Menahem Begin called attention to the great Swiss humanitarian Jean Henri Dunant, who was the first recipient of the Nobel Prize for peace in 1901. Begin mentioned the fact that Dunant was the foun- der of the International Red Cross. Dunant was also one of the first Christian sup- porters of a Jewish home- land, later envisaged by the great Zionist leader Theodor Herzl. At this important juncture in Israeli history, when the leader of the gov- ernment of Israel joins Dunant as a Nobel Peace Laureate, it is ironic to have to remind your readers that the Magen David Adom (Red Shield of David) Society is denied recogni- tion by the International Red Cross. In spite of its continued pronouncements that it is founded on the principles of humanitarianism, uni- versality and brother- hood, the Geneva-based Red Cross organization refuses to grant member- ship to the Israeli Magen David Adorn organiza- tion. This is all the more out- rageous when all qualified experts, including those from the Red Cross itself readily agree that Israel ful- fills nine of the 10 criteria for admission. The only condition Israel cannot fol- Mapam to Break With Labor Party TEL AVIV (JTA) — The Mapam Secretariate voted to dissolve its partnership with the Labor Party, thereby bringing to an end the Labor Alignment created more than a decade ago. The recommendation, adopted by a majority of 25 votes, will be submitted to the Mapam convention for approval when it meets in February. Labor Party r chairman Shimon Peres expressed re- gret over the Mapam deci- sion. He said it would weaken the Labor front at a time when unity was essen- tial to deal with crucial eco- nomic and political issues. low is giving up the use of its Magen David Adorn emblem. Fair-minded people the world over understand that Israel should not be forced to use the Christian Red Cross, the Arab Red Crescent or the Red Lion and sun that is used by Iran. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Dunant, the great friend of the Jewish people and the founder of the In- ternational Red Cross.

Land Returned to Beit Sahur JERUSALEM (JTA) — A week after the military gov- ernment seized some 300 acres of land from the West Bank town of Beit Sahur "for military purposes," the military governor of Judaea and Samaria ordered 60 acres returned to the local residents. The revision in the mili- tary government's decision came in the wake of protests by Arab leaders. Elias Freij, the mayor of neighboring Bethlehem, told reporters the seizure of land in the West Bank was contrary to the Camp David agree- ments. The partial cancellation of the seizure was made dur- ing a tour in the area by the military governor, Gen. Binyamin Ben-Eliezer. Rabbi Rubin R.
