NEW YORK — The Is- rael Ballet is scheduling dates for a U.S. tour in April and May, 1981. The Joyce Agency in New York has scheduled the troupe in 17 U.S. cities between April 15 and May 24. Begin in the response stresses once again that the responsibility for the sus- pension of the autonomy talks lies with Egypt. He re- jects Sadat's allegations that Israel is the one that has violated the Camp David agreement and has placed obstacles on the road to peace by the law pro- claiming united Jerusalem the capital of Israel and by the Jewish settlements on the West Bank.

Dr.. Levina has been told she is refused because the USSR has declared that exit can be denied if an appli- cant's parent does not give permission, and het mother had so decided. Recently Anton was told he could re- apply only if his mother did at the same time. Both re- submitted their papers to- gether. On the day of their reapplication, Dr. Levina was refused on the same grounds as before. Anton was refused with the ex- planation that his with INSURANCE PHOTOS UNITED HEBREW SCHOOLS Israel Cool to Talks Delay JERUSALEM (JTA) — Israel's response to Egyp- tian President Anwar Sadat's proposal for a new summit meeting on the au- tonomytalks after the U.S. Presidential elections has been drafted by Premier Menahem Begin and his top ministers. The 15-page reply which was due to be submitted Thursday to Egyptian officials by Is- rael's ambassador in Cairo, Eliahu Ben-Elissar, does not reject altogether the idea of a summit meeting between Sadat, Begin and President Carter. The re- sponse does, however, stress that the focus should be on resuming the autonomy talks. PROTECTION for your VALI/ABMS mother's permision for him to rejoin Ilya was in- valid because she was again refused. In a related development, nine of the 1970 Leningrad Trial defendants now living in Israel have issued a pub- lic appeal on behalf of Nobel Peace Prize *winner Prof. Andrei Shakharov, who was forcibly exiled from Moscow to Gorky.
