Airlines believes that gov-
ernments must find a mid-
dle ground between a "super
monopoly" and the "chaos"
of total deregulation in
order to restore health to his
airline and other carriers
deeply affected by the air-
line deregulation trend.
El Al, which lost $40 mil-
lion for the fiscal year end-
ing March 31, averted a
shutdown -last December
when employees signed a
labor agreement containing
no-strike clauses and cal-
ling for a reduction of staff
and privileges in order to
combat financial problems,
according to Shavit.
In other cost-cutting
moves, the number of flight
attendants on each plane
has been reduced, pilots
have taken pay-cuts and
sales offices in the United
States are being replaced
with sales personnel who
will work out of their homes
in conjunction with travel
agents.
The airline will also begin
an all-out effort to regain its
share of the market which
has dropped from 52 percent
to 48 percent of all traffic in
and out of Israel. New
twice-a-week charter
flights from New York to
Tel Aviv and possibly from
L.A. to Tel Aviv are being
planned to help the ailing
air. carrier.

EGYPTIAN-ISRAELI
PEACE- TREATY
By DAVID SCHWARTZ
(Copyright 1980, JTA, Inc.)
Everybody knows that
Washington, D.C., is the
capital of the United States.
But which city is the capital
of Israel?
Most people know but not
the United States govern-
ment. It is in Jerusalem
that the government of Is-
rael has its headquarters;
there you will find the Is-
raeli president and premier
and also the Knesset and
the various Cabinet de-
partments, but as we have
said, the United States gov-
ernment doesn't seem to
know it. The U.S. Embassy
to Israel is located in Tel
Aviv. It can only be ignor-
ance that causes America to
make this mistake or is it
something else?
President Carter recently
went to great pains to dis-
avow the anti-Israel refer-
ence to Jerusalem in the
March 1 United Nations Se-
curity Council resolution,
but isn't the refusal of the
United States to accept
Jerusalem as the capital the
same thing?

Bible Requires
Counting Days
By RABBI SAMUEL FOX
(Copyright 1980, JTA, Inc.)
The days and weeks be-
tween the Passover and
Shavuot are ceremoniously
counted every evening.
It is a requirement laid
down by the Bible.
Some claim this is to es-
tablish the indispensible
tie between the two holi-
days. Passover emphasizes
the aspect of freedom, as
gained from Jewish slavery
in Egypt. Shavuot em-
phasizes the aspect of reve-
lation which establishes our
religious commitment.
There can be no religious
commitment unless one is
free to accept it. Also, free-
dom is meaningless unless
one has some commitment
without which his freedom
would be that of the beast.

Killing Deplored
REFRESHMENTS
R(N I( Avf M( IH LEISRAf
NEW YORK — Nathan
Perlmutter, national direc-
tor of the Anti-Defamation
League, has called the mur-
der of Archbishop Oscar
Arnulfo Romero in El Sal-
vador "another symptom of
the epidemic of political ter-
ror and violence which is
destroying the fabric of or-
ganized society in many
areas of the world."
Mayor Tedd Kollek of
Jerusalem recently
called upon President
Carter to rectify this mat-
ter and move the U.S.
embassy to Jerusalem.
When Israel in 1948 won
its independence, some of
the so-called great powers
warned Israel against es-
tablishing Jerusalem as its
- capital. Ben-Gurion replied
that he was sorry — he
would like very much to
please them but, he said,
King David long ago made
Juersalem the capital city of
Israel and who was he to go
against King David?
Camp David, where Sec-
retary of State Cyrus Vance
no doubt has often conferred
with President Carter, is
named after him, so he must
be of some importance. King
David was a great military
leader_, also a great states-
man and poet. He wrote
many poems which are still
popular today. Ben-Gurion
we think was right in decid-,
ing that what was good
enough for King David is
good enough for him.
The refusal of the
United States to accept
Jerusalem as Israel's
capital city, as evidenced
by its refusal to move its
embassy there is we think
wholly unjustified. It is a
slap in the face of Israel
and indeed of American
Jewry as well.
Can it be that oil is the
cause of the trouble? It used
to be that things had to be
all right. Now it seems they
must be "oil right."
