will not negotiate or recog-
nize the Palestine Libera-
tion Organization until it
accepts Security Council
Resolutions 242 and 338"
and, "We oppose the crea-
tion of a Palestinian state."
In that context, he added,
"We are committed to
Jerusalem that will remain
forever undivided" with free
access for all faiths to the
holy places. "Nothing will
deflect us from these princi-
ples," he declared. "Domes-
tic politics cannot be
allowed to create timidity or
pose obstacles or delay or
subvert the spirit of Camp
David or imply a lack of
commitment to reach our
common goal," he said.

But meanwhile, in two
statements before the Con-

State Cyrus Vance contin-
ued to assert that the U.S.
vote March 1 for the anti-
Israel Security Council
Resolution 465 represented
"no change" in Carter Ad-
ministration policy toward
Israel, and he urged that no

"witch hunt" be conducted
because "no devilish plot"
had been concocted against
Israel.
Vance reiterated that the
resolution is a "recom-
mendatory" action, warn-
ing Israel against establish-
ing settlements in "occupied
territories" including East
Jerusalem, and resulted
from a "misunderstanding"
for which he has taken re-
sponsibility.

Vance said that East -
Jerusalem "is occupied _
territory" and that the use —
of the word "Palestinian" in
reference to people and ter-
ritories in the resolution
was merely "demographic"
and had been used before in
UN resolutions.

The Jewish Center
Businessmen's Club sent a
mailgram to President Car-
ter stating:
"Allowing your ambas-
sador to join in sanctioning
Israel recently without
scrutinizing the resolution
has caused irreparable
harm to the Jewish people,
who really are the only
democratic ally you have in

Rabbis' Powers Split
Non-Orthodox Out

JERUSALEM (JTA) — A
new "Chief Rabbinate Law"
passed by the Knesset last
week after long months of
preparation, provides that
future Sephardic and
Ashkenazic chief rabbis will
have their powers split: one
will serve as chairman of
the Chief Rabbinate Coun-
cil and the other as
president of the Supreme
Rabbinical Court. They will
alternate in mid-term.
The law was initiated by
the National Religious
Party. Its basic rationale is
to alleviate the present
situation in which both
chief rabbis serve in both
capacities simultaneously.
The present incumbents,
Sephardic Chief Rabbi
Ovadia Yosef and
Ashkenazic Chief Rabbi
Shlomo Goren, have been at
odds almost since their elec-
tion eight years ago. The
new law will take effect as of
the next chief rabbinate
election, which is scheduled
for March 1983.

It was passed by a large
majority with Likud and the
Labor Alignment joining
the NRP to back it. In fact,
according to parliamentary
observers, the law was the
product of intense NRP-
Labor consultations, with
the Likud reluctantly being
forced by its junior coalition
partners to support it.

activists in Israel be-
cause it mandates the
exclusivity of the Or-
thodox stream of
Judaism in Israel — par-
ticularly in rabbinical
jurisdiction to perform
marriages.

But religions Minister
Aharon Abu-Hatzeira in-
sisted that the law did noth-
ing but recapitulate the
existing and long-standing
situation. The vast majority
of Israelis supported the Or-
thodox stream, he said, and
the handful of Reform Jews
presently living in Israel
could not seek to "dictate" to
that majority.

Rabbi Menahem Haco-
hen, a Labor Knesseter
active in the discussions
that preceded the introduc-
tion of the law, said the law
merely "photographed the
existing status quo." He
said his party did sub'
t
the right of Reform
d
Conservative Jews to lead
"community life" and the if
and when returnee
ij
power, Labor would • legis-
late accordingly. But he was
vague as to whether that
meant Reform rabbis would
be given the right to per-
form marriages.

Prof. Ezra Spicehandler
of the Hebrew Union Col-
lege (Reform) Jerusalem
Branch, termed the new law
"undemocratic" in that it
The law came under failed to recognize the
immediate fire from Re-, rights of Reform and Con-
form' and Conservative - s-ervative T ews in I srael.
