Eizenstat Authored Israel Praise
in Carter State of Union Message
WASHINGTON — Na-
tionally syndicated news-
man Daniel Schorr says
that President Carter's_
domestic adviser, Stuart
Eizenstat, suggested the
phrases in the State of the
Union address which re-
soundingly backed Israel
and the Israeli-Egyptian
peace initiatives.
Shorr says that Carter's
original speech would have
ignored Israel and Egypt on
the advice of Zbigniew
Brzezinski and other
"Arabists" within the Ad-
ministration. The
Brzezinski motive was to
avoid conflict with the Arab
states the new Carter Doc-
trine was trying to ap-
proach.
Schorr said the speech
was an example of the con-
tinuing dispute between
Arabists within the Ad-
ministration and suppor-
ters of Israel.
He wrote that Brzezinski
views were opposed by De-
fense Secretary Harold
Brown and Mideast Special
Ambassador Sol Linowitz.
Brown favored using Is-
raeli and Egyptian bases to
form an instant U.S. power
base in the Middle East, ac-
cording to Schorr. Linowitz
was opposed to ignoring Is-
rael and Egypt, saying it
would make the autonomy
negotiations more difficult.

Schorr, penciled in com-
ments on the margin of the
President's speech when
Carter asked for his advice.
Schorr writes:
"At Eizenstat's sugges-
tion, Carter inserted a sen-
tence praising the Egypt-
Israel peace treaty as 'a not-
able achievement which re-
presents a strategic asset
for America and also
enhances prospects for
regional and world peace.'
"Carter saved another
Eizenstat suggestion to be
'ad libbed' during delivery.
'Let no one doubt our com-
mitment to the security of
Israel,' said Carter as he
called attention to the 'his-
toric event' of Israel's with-
drawal from the Sinai and
scheduled exchange of am-
bassadors with Egypt.
"Eizenstat's quiet inter-
vention, upsetting the best-
laid plans of Brzezinski and
the 'Arabists,' had con-
verted a shuffle away from
Camp David into a ringing
reaffirmation of Egyptian-
Israeli accommodation.
Carter's old friend had con-
vinced him that a 'strategic
asset' in the hand is worth
two in the bush of turbulent
Islam."
Report on Seattle Jews
NEW YORK (JTA) —
The Jewish population of
Seattle has nearly doubled
since 1945, currently total-
ling 19,000 according to a
study sponsored by the
Jewish Federation of
Greater Seattle and di-
rected by Sociology Prof.
James McCann of Washing-
ton University.
The Seattle Jewish
Community is an old one by
national standards. One-
third of Seattle Jewish
household heads have been
in this country for three or
more generations. Sephar-
dic Jews make up nearly 18
percent of Seattle Jewry,
most of them coming to
Seattle at the turn of the
century. The Ashkenazic
Jews made a two-step mi-
gration, from Europe to the
east coast and then to the
west.
The report noted that
some Jews are not affiliated
or active in Jewish com- -
munal life. Throughout the
study, such Jews are de-
scribed as "non-identified"
or "non-active" and, accord-
ing to the report, an esti-
mated 26 percent or 4,950
Seattle Jews are in that
category, which the study
called "a high number by
any standard" and one
"sharply higher than the
proportion inferred for
other local communities."
According to the report,
there are some 2,200 Jewish
children between the ages of
five and 17 and "their
number will be increased by
about 900 in the coming de-
cade. The significant in-
crease will be due partly to
the large number of chil-
dren currently estimated to
be under the age of five and
to the number of adults who
are between the ages of 25
and 34."
Commenting that Ameri-
can Jews have, in a few gen-
erations, "attained excep-
tional levels of social and
economic success," the
study found that "the posi-
tion of Jews in Seattle re-
flects the national pattern. -
