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. - Jewish Divorce Unit Formed NEW YORK — The es- the Halakhic process, tablishment of an organiza- utilizing techniques of tion to ensure that a Jewish conciliation, education divorce decree or "get" is ob- and referral as well as tained when a marriage is community pressure on dissolved by divorce, was recalcitrant parties when announced last week by a get is unjustly withheld.
