Squadron Hits Statement by American
Jewish Leaders; Two Give a Disclaimer
NEW YORK (JTA) —
Howard Squadron, who as-
sumed office last week as
chairman of the Conference
of Presidents of Major
American Jewish Organ-
izations, sharply criticized
the statement released in
Jerusalem in which 56
prominent American Jews,
including three of his pre-
decessors, took issue with
policies of Premier
Menahem Begin's govern-
ment.
Squadron said: "I find it
most regrettable that
American Jewish leaders
should engage in this kind
of public debate concerning
the policies pursued by the
government of Israel.
"Such- debate is always
unhelpful and divisive. It
creates the inevitable im-
pression that the dif-
ferences within the Jewish
community are more impor-
tant than the areas of
agreement. In fact, the
Jewish community is united
on the most important mat-
ters:
"First,_ that Jerusalem
shall remain undivided
and the capital of Israel,
with free access to' all
faiths. Second, that the
Camp David accords re-
present a great achieve-
ment for peace and that
the effort to achieve a
workable autonomy ar-
rangement for the West
Bank and Gaza should be
persistently pursued.
"Third that Israel is a
functioning democracy and
that its government will
rise or fall on the basis of the
wishes of the people of. Is-
rael, who are quite capable
of carrying on great debates
among themselves."
Two of Squadron's pre-
decessors who signed the
statement in Jerusalem,
Rabbi Alexander Schindler
and Theodore Mann, issued
a statement of their own:
"We are deeply disturbed
by the abusive comments of
Leonard Fein in making
public the statement to
which we gave our names,
and we dissociate ourselves
completely from his
charges.
"Prime Minister Begin
is a world statesman of
the highest integrity, a
peacemaker whose name
will be revered through-
out the history of the
Jewish people. In most
matters we are in full
agreement and sympathy
with Mr. Begin's policies;
in some we differ from
him. But the insults to the
Prime Minister ex-

"We signed a call to con-

policies as `extremist' or as a
`disaster' and we deeply re-
sent the effort by Mr. Fein to
associate us with such

Israeli Cabinet
Discusses U.S
Oil Commitment
JERUSALEM (JTA)
The talks between Israel
and the U.S. over the lat-
ter's commitment to supply
Israel with oil in an emer-
gency, which ended incon-
clusively last week were
discussed during Sunday's
Cabinet session.
Energy Minister Yitzhak
Modai reported what he
characterized as the
"tough" position- taken by
the American delegation,
headed by Assistant Secre-
tary of State Dean Hinton.
The main difference be-
tween the two countries ap-
parently is over what con-
stitutes an "emergency."
The Americans say they are
committed to supply Israel
with oil if Israel cannot ob-
tain supplies sufficient for
its needs from other sources.
Settlement Cuts
Ties to Gush
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Some 50 families living at
the West Bank settlement
of Givon, north of
Jerusalem, have cut them-
selves off from the Gush
Emunim movement.
They formed a new vil-
lage committee and said
they intended to run their
affairs independently.
