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?" it SHOP FINE APPAREL FOR MEN AND BOYS SEARS-SOUTHFIELD SHOPPING PLAZA 557-2290 SOUTHFIELD & 121/2 MILE RD.

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. • • 11.
