sign and in practical ef-
fect,-the party's make-up
indicates that Strauss

job he has held since
March 1977- as well
ambassador-at-large for
Middle East peace
negotiations to which he
was appointed earlier

Kissinger said the trip was
a personal visit, but he will
use Egyptian President
Anwar Sadat's plane.)
Strauss last visited Egypt
and Israel April 16-21 on a
trade mission. He said the
industry people who will
leave with him Sunday are
going to "pursue economic
ventures" in Egypt as a
follow-up to his earlier visit
to cooperate in developing -
Egypt's economy.
Apart from his allusions
to tactics, Strauss refused to
discuss substantive issues.
"I am not going to negotiate
in the newspapers," he said.
The peace process "has to
move," he stressed.

After
plishments by President
Carter, President Sadat and
Premier Menahem Begin
"this thing can't die of attri-
tion. The President (Carter)
wants to see this doesn't
happen,"-Strauss said.
Reminded that Israel
has come under intense
pressure and criticism in
recent weeks over its set-
tlement policy on the
West Bank, that Saudi
Arabia, fully tied to the
Arab "rejectionists" of
the Israeli-Egyptian
peace - treaty, is urging
that the U.S. begin an
"immediate dialogue"
with the PLO and most
recently, Soviet Foreign
Minister Andrei
Gromyko's insistence
that the Palestinians
have a "small state of
their own," the president-
ial envoy was asked if
there will be marked
changes in the U.S. posi-
tion to achieve "move-
ment?"
"Let us not talk specific
issues," he replied. "We
have positions. The
President said last Thurs-
day, want you to go there

Strauss added, "I am not a
loose cannon aboard a ship.
I act loose but I play conser-
vative whether in poker or
otherwise. I consider my
chances to get to second
base before leaving first."
He observed that "it is
necessary and appropriate
to move the peace process —
not in violation of the com-
mitments of this nation or
the President to either side
but in pursuit of his basic
commitment to peace in the
Middle East!'
Strauss, a former Demo-
cratic Party national
chairman; pursued two per-
iOnal topics. One relates to
why the President gave him
the job and the other to his
outlook on Jewish concerns
when he was a young
lawyer in Dallas. ,
"Some people think
Strauss took this job be-
cause of his relationship
with the President and
his political skills to hold
it (the Mideait peace
process) together-JP he
said, "until after the 1980
elections. That's a lot of
bunk. No point in my
wasting time trying to
dissuade people who be-
lieve that. I can only
change their minds by
what I can produce," he
said.
"Some people," he contin-
ued, "think because I am a
committed Jew whose roots
go back many years and de-
eply steeped in Judaism on
both sides of my family —
and I have a long history of
activity by my family and
my wife's family on behalf of
Israel -- I am going to sell

UJA Winners

NEW YORK (JTA) _—
The three Israeli UJA 40th
Anniversary Essay Contest
winners are: Yosef
17, third year high school
student from Tel Aviv;
Galia Bernfeld, 16, second
year high school student
from Arad; and Moshe
Blockerkovski, 17, fourth
year high school student
from Kiryat Bialik.
Irwin Field, UJA chair-
man, said the essays
"demonstrated the success
of the contest as a way of
introducing a new genera-
tion into the process of
understanding and aware-
ness of Jewish communal
life which creates a con-
tinuity of UJA leadership,"
and said that the 10 Ameri-
can winners will visit Israel
this coming August and be
hosted' by the three Israeli
winners.

Yeshiva Students
Hold Internships

NEW YORK (JTA) —
Two Yeshiva University
undergraduates - will work
- during the summer in
Washington as interns with
the Department of Labor in
the first participation by the
university in the federal in-
ternship program.

rael. That's a lot of bunk.
Just like the other, there is
no point in my wasting time
to dissuade those people."
He added, "Then there's a
third group that says Carter
put me out there, a Jew, be-
cause I'm better postured to
put the squeeze on Israel.
That too is a lot of bunk.
Again, no reason to waste
time to dissuade those
people. The only thing that
will convince them is my ac-
tions. In something like
this, I'm not angry, with
those who feel that way;
there's_ a lot of paranoia,
suspicion,–mistrust."
Strauss said, "I under-
stand each of these three
positions. What I've got to
do by my actions is demon-
strate there's no basis for
them. If I do my job right,
one side will be unhappy
with me for one month and
the other side the following
month. But I did not take
this job for a popularity con-
test.
"I took it on for com-
mitment for the cause of
peace and the President
believes I am uniquely
qualified on his behalf
and the country's be-
half."
Asked if he was ever asso-
ciated in any way with the_
anti-Zionist American
Council for Judaism which

at one time was influential
among certain Jews in the
South and Southwest,
Strauss referred to his late
father-iri-law, Leslie L.
Jacobs of Dallas and his own
leadership in the Jewish
Welfare Federation there.
He said, "In the town in
the 1940s, about 20 percent
of the Jews were Zionist, 10
percent belonged to the
Coundil and -the rest were
nothing — neither Zionist
nor Council. I was among
those."
He replied "exactly"
when asked if he had fa-
vored the creation of Israel.
"We all supported the UJA
(United Jewish Appeal) ex-
tremely. well. I never at any
time opposed the creation of
the state of Israel. Anyone
who says I did is nothing but

a trouble-maker who Would
like to diminish my effec-
tiveness." ._
