almost no chance of avoid-

avoid a head-on collision.
Once returning from
Eilat on a bus, I couldn't
help notice that as we
were climbing a winding
road, the driver had only
one hand on the wheel
and was talking to a
young lady behind him.
An Israeli sitting next to
me began complaining
about the poor driving in
Israel. But I think he
started talking to me as a
way to cover his fear.

Recently, the government
began cracking down by
stopping vehicles on the
highway and inspecting
them for safety violations.
One truck was found with-
out brakes. The driver said
he knew he had no brakes,
but he delivers eggs and was
afraid that a sudden stop
would crack them.

Gold Circle
Tells of Social
Climbers, Wives

A surprising look at
couples in the desperate
world of the nouveau riche
provides the backdrop for
"The Solid Gold Circle"
(Crown), a novel by Sheila
Schwartz.
The novel's heroine, Ellen
Graetz, is a young woman
who marries for "protec-
tion" and is then thrust into
the world of social climbing
that forces her to remold
both her body and her life.
Finding her place in the
high-fashion world is not an
easy task for the former
"Plain-Jane' from the
Borough Park section of
Brooklyn. But when Ellen
looks in the mirror, she
likes what she sees until,
one night, her husband
comes home with shocking
news and she is forced to
change her entire life once
more.
Sheila Schwartz's two
pervious efforts were highly
praised juvenile books. Her
last novel, "Like Mother,
Like Me," was adapted for
television and aired re-
cently on CBS.

EEC Cancels Plan for Israeli Office

JERUSALEM (JTA) — A
news agency report from
Brussels that the European
Economic Community
(EEC) does not plan to open
an office in Israel caused
embarrassment and con-
sternation in Israeli official
quarters.
An explicit agreement
was reached between Israel
and the EEC Commission
last summer to the effect
that such an office would be
opened. The Israel Foreign
Ministry and the Israel em-
bassy in Brussels said they
had received no official
word of a reconsideration.
The Brussels report fol-
lowed an announcement by
Israeli Cabinet Secretary
Arye Naor that the EEC
would have an office in Tel
Aviv and a "branch office"
in Jerusalem. Naor said the
EEC had agreed to Israel's
request that it be repre-
sented in Jerusalem al-
though it refused to have its
main office in the city.
Naor made it clear that he
spoke on the basis of
Foreign Minister Yitzhak
Shamir's report to the
Cabinet.
EEC ambassadors in
Tel Aviv said they knew
of no such agreement on
the part of the EEC to
have a branch office in
Jerusalem.

Israeli sources explained
privately that an under-
standing to that effect had
been reached but not
signed, with senior EEC of-
ficials. They acknowledged
that thiS was before the
Jerusalem Law was passed
by the Knesset and the sub-
sequent exodus of all teh
foreign embassies stationed
in Jerusalem.
Diplomatic observers felt
that the Brussels report,
which quoted an EEC
spokesman, reflected the
European community's
pique at the Israeli an-
nouncement of the under-
standing.
It is not clear now when
the EEC office will be
opened or whether it will in

TEL AVIV (ZINS) — Is-
raeli citizens wishing to
visit Egypt are checked
closely by the Egyptians
and are not allowed near
military installations.
Maariv reports, however,
that Egyptian visitors to Is-
rael were recently allowed
to tour secret munitions and
aircraft factories and were
permitted to take pictures.

were seeking clarifications,
as were the EEC ambas-
sadors in Tel Aviv.
