ADL Says State Department Uses Dual
Hiring Standard to Favor Minorities
NEW YORK — The U.S.
State Department is using a
dual standard to give pref-
erence to minority groups in
hiring Foreign Service per-.
sonnel, the Anti-
Defamation League of Bnai
Brith disclosed.
According to an ADL re-
port, "a policy of reverse dis-
crimination, first started in
1967, has been stepped up in
the past year, and will be
expanded even further — if
new State Department
recommendations are im-
plemented."
The report was made by
Kenneth J. Bialkin, chair-
man of ADL's national
executive committee, at the
agency's 67th annual meet-
ing last weekend.
The State Depart-
ment's employment prac-

kin, discriminate against

group
applicants in three ways:
• The written examination
is waived for minority group
holders of college bachelor
degrees, if they request it;
• A bonus of five points is
awarded to minority group
members who take the writ-
ten exam if they score at
least 70 points. (The passing
grade for all others is 75);
• The security clearance
process is accelerated to
favor minorities, giving
them priority and special
consideration over other
applicants.
Both the bonus point
system and the speedier
security clearances were
instituted in the past
year, Bialkin said. New
measures under consid-
eration by the State De-
partment as part of a
"so-called affirmative ac-
tion program" include
awarding minorities
even more bonus points
on the written test and
lowering entrance re-
quirements for all candi-
dates.

Tax Agreement
Will Benefit
U.S., Israel
WASHINGTON (JTA) —
Americans and Israelis
under a new tax agreement
signed last week will be
able, subject to certain limi-
tations, to deduct contribu-
tions they make to charita-
ble organizations in each
other's country. Other pro-
visions of the protocol will
affect the taxation of income
from U.S. investments in Is-
rael.
Israeli Ambassador Ep-
hraim Evron and Assistant
Secretary of State for Mid-
dle East Affairs Harold
Saunders signed the docu-
ment at the State Depart-
ment Friday.
It makes a number of
technical changes in the In-
come Tax Agreement of
Nov. 20, 1975, between the
United States and Israel.
That agreement was held
up in the Senate, to which
the State Department had
submitted it as a treaty, and
was not put into force pend-
ing rectifications of certain
provisions.
Negotiations
were
reopened in 1978 and con-
summated last Friday with
the signing of the protocol.
Schools Strike
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Arab schools in most parts
of Israel were closed May 27
in a strike called by the Na-
tional Committee of Arab
Mayors to protest delays by
the Israeli authorities in al-
locating government funds
for the construction of new
classrooms.
A last-minute promise by
Education Minister Zevu-
lun Hammer to improve
conditions in the Arab
schools failed to prevent the
shutdown.
secret of its preferential
treatment." He pointed out
that form letters sent to
minority group candidates
by the Educational Testing
Service of Princeton, N.J. —
which conducts the Foreign
Service written test —
state:
"The State Department
. . . would like to contact as
soon as possible those
minority group members
who passed the written
examination so that re-
maining stages of the selec-
tion process, which are time
consuming, can be speeded
up."
The State Depart-
ment's preferential
treatment employment
program will be even
further expanded if
recommendations before
it are put into effect,
Bialkin said. These are
contained in a report by
Ambassador Philip C.
Habib, chairman of the
Committee to Review Re-
cruitment and Examina-
tion for the Foreign Serv-
ice.
The Habib report, accord-
ing to ADL, propos 1-
creasing the
bonus on the written exam-
ination for minority appli-
cants to perhaps 10 points.
It would also lower entrance
requirements for all candi-
dates following the written
examination phase, includ-
ing the oral presentation -
and the interviewing pro-
gram.
Sadat, Ben-Elissar Defuse
Potential Mideast Crisis
JERUSALEM (JTA) — A
potential crisis between Is-
rael and Egypt was defused
last weekend at a meeting
between President Anwar
Sadat and Israeli Ambas-
sador Eliahu Ben-Elissar in
Cairo.
The matter grew out of
Premier Menahem Begin's
remark to the Knesset's
Foreign Affairs and Secu-
rity Commity alst Friday
that Israel would not com-
plete its withdrawal from
Sinai by May, 1982 — the
date set in the Israeli-
Egyptian peace treaty —
unless there was prior
agreement for the estab-
lishment of an interna-
tional supervisory force to
guarantee that the penin-
sula remains demilitarized.
That declaration
triggered an angry reaction
in Egypt. Ben-Elissar im-
mediately asked for a meet-
ing with Sadat which was
granted Saturday. The Is-
raeli envoy presented a
written message from Begin
which clarified the Israeli
view on the issue and as-
sured Sadat that Israel
would continue to fulfill its
part of the peace agreement.
Sadat, for his part, ex-
pressed his "friendship
and confidence" in Begin
and also voiced the hope
that the autonomy talks,
which he suspended last
month, would be re-
sumed soon.
The Cairo weekly Oc-
tober, which often reflects
Sadat's views, reported that
the negotiations may be re-
sumed this week or early
next week.
Moslem Zealots
Arrested in Israel
JERUSALEM (JTA)
Five young Arab religious
zealots from Sebastia vil-
lage on the West Bank were
arrested by Nablus police
last week.
They are members of a
Moslem religious group cal-
ling itself "Khomeini's
People," apparently disci-
ples of the Ayatollah Ruhol-
lah Khomeini of Iran. The
group is suspected of having
punished two youths in the
village for alleged sodomy, a
major offense under Islamic
law.
The detainees, all teena-
gers, told the police that
they recognized only Is-
lamic law and had no re-
spect for secular law.
