Sheli Splits
Amid Fistfight

TEL AVIV (JTA) — The
small, leftist Sheli Party
was split last week
when its Black Panther fac-
tion broke away in an angry
dispute over a Knesset seat.
Fist fights erupted after
the party'i convention voted
66-56 to reject the demand
by Black Panther leader
Saadia Marciano that he
replace Meir Payil in one of
the party's two Knesset
seats.
Marciano claimed later
that the issue was not the
seat but rather that Payil
and Sheli's other MK, Uri
Avneri, played politics and
ignored burning social prob-
lems. Marciano claimed the
seat on the basis of a vag-
uely drafted agreement
made before the 1977 elec-
tions which provided for a
rotation among Sheli mem-
bers.
Arye Eliav relinquished
his seat in favor of Avneri.
Marciano contended that he
was now entitled to replace
Payil.

Soviet's Role
in 1967 Recalled

John P. Roche, writing in
the Detroit News on Jan. 21,
described the aggressive,
opportunistic actions of the
Soviet Union over the past
30 years.
In one recollection, he re-
calls the actions of the
Soviets and their cronies
just before the Six-Day War:
"... I will never forget a
1967 call I got from Eppie
Evron, now Israel's ambas-
sador to the United States,
then deputy chief of mis-
sion, when I was in the
White House.
"It was shortly before
the outbreak of the Six-
Day War and Eppie in-
quired if we could get
some English-speaking
Koreans and Vietnamese
to Israel in a hurry. North
Koreans and Viets were
flying Soviet MiGs for
Syria and the Israeli De-
fense Force wanted to
understand their conver-
sations.
"A number of Israelis un-
derstood Spanish so the
Cuban pilots presented no
problem, but Jews were thin
on the ground in Korean
and Vietnamese."

EVERYTHING ELSE.
