told reporters that they had
"revived" their old friend-
ship.
The meeting, in Dayan's
suite at the Regency Hotel,
was arranged at Young's
request. Yehuda Blum, Is
rael's ambassador to the
UN, was also present.
Speaking to reporters
after the meeting, Young
described his talk with
Dayan as "friendly" and
said it dealt largely with his
plans. He told Dayan, he
said, that he did not blame
him or Israel for the events
that brought about his res-
ignation from his UN post.
He also said he discussed his
plans to visit the Middle
East, including Israel, in
the near future, with the
foreign minister. - •
Dayan said Young was
welcome to come to Israel
provided he does not in-
tend to try to act as a
negotiator between Is-
rael and the Palestine
Liberation Organization
during his trip.
Young and his wife were
guests of honor at a dinner
at the same hotel given by
Kuwaiti Ambassador Ab-
dulla Bishara at whose
home the controversial
meeting between Young
and the PLO observer at the
UN, Zehadi Labib Terzi,
took place last July.
During a photo session in
the hotel ballroom Young
embraced Terzi and after-
wards quipped: "Why don't
we invite Mr. Dayan down?"

PERSONALITY PROFILE: Meet Martin S. Fox, the
new president of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
A native of Newark, N.J., he is the best example of
Jewish continuity. His father was deeply committed to
Jewish causes, and so is he. He is an example of the young
generation of leaders who are now gradually taking over
the helm of the top leadership in the American Jewish
community. He is alert, dedicated, has an analytical mind,
probes deeply and confronts issues directly.
A graduate of Harvard Law School, and a prominent
lawyer, he gives much of his time to Jewish communal
interests, both local and national. He has held almost every
major office in the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan New
Jersey, including the presidency of the federation. He was
also a campaign chairman of the United Jewish Appeal.
He is deeply interested in Israel. Among other things,
he stimulated the governor of New Jersey to make a trip
with him to Israel. In New Jersey, he is highly respected
among the general population for his dedication to civic
activities. He has served for quite a number of years as a
member of the Board of Education of New Jersey. He was on
the Democratic Party ticket of candidates who ran for the
U.S. Congress. He is greatly interested in the resettlement
of Soviet Jews and is on the board of HIAS. He is also on the
board of the Newark Jewish News.
AN EFFECTIVE NEGOTIATOR: Fox is credited
with inspiring improvement in the relations between the
federations and the synagogues.
The conflict between the
two bodies has been an ir-
ritating problem in Jewish
communal life for quite a
number of years. It causes a
lot of tension in the com-
munities. It still is not fully
solved. However, Fox, fol-
lowing meetings with
synagogue representatives,
was in a position to report at
a general assembly of the
Council of Jewish Federa-
tions that there is a growing
consensus on some of the
basic differences of opinion
that have been prevailing
for years over the definition
MARTIN FOX
of the respective roles of the
two bodies.
The conflict — which is not brought out fully to the public
— has developed over competing claims. Concerned for
quality and intensity of American Jewish life in the next
generation, the federations, which started as communal
fund-raising organs, have expanded their influence and
activities in the fields of educational programming, coun-
selling, youth services, cultural activity, programs for the
elderly, and other areas. At the same time, the synagogues
— which at times emphasized their house-of-prayer char-
acter — are today much more than houses of worship or the
scene of life-cycle ceremonies; they are deeply engaged in
youth-to-senior programs of Jewish education and service,
and in social action programs.
Out of this situation of overlapping program activities,
a feeling of animosity has developed in many communities
between communal workers and rabbis, each seeing the
problem from a different perspective.
Fox is one of the personalities who greatly contributed
to the efforts of building a bridge of federation-synagogue
understanding, which still needs completion in some corn-
munities.
MEETS CHALLENGES: In accepting the JTA
presidency, Fox will be facing the difficult task which many
top leaders of major Jewish organizations face today — to
secure the agency from financial difficulties caused by
mounting inflation.
Almost every Jewish organization is today hampered
in carrying out its program by the shortage of funds. Some
are reducing their functions. Others benefit from federal
financing of some of their programs on a matching basis.
The JTA does not fit into any of these categorits. It operates
on a minimal budget and cannot reduce its functions which
are now of utmost importance to the American Jewish
community and to Israel, when the oil-rich Arab rulers are
spending many millions of dollars on anti-Israel prop-
aganda and on creating an anti-Jewish mood in this coun-
try. If anything, the JTA must be strengthened and ex-
panded during this critical period.
To be the president of the JTA is, therfore, no easy task,
considering the important 'functions which JTA fulfills
with its limited income. Fox, however, is the kind of leader
who meets challenges optimistically and successfully. He
has proven it by his record.
