RIO DE JANEIRO (JTA)
— A Catholic convert to
Judaism has accused the
Brazilian authorities of dis-
crimination against the
Jewish religion and has
taken his case to court.
Francisco Correa Netto,
48, a professor of geography
and social science at a pub-
lic college, filed suit for re-
covery of sums deducted
from his salary because he
missed 11 days of classes in
observance of Jewish holi-
days last year. He has
charged that this was a vio-
lation of Brazil's Constitu-
tion and demanded equality
for the Jewish faith.
He said he expects to win
his claim and would thereby
set a precedent for all non-
Cahtolic religions in the
country.

JERUSALEM — Abba
Eban, former Israel foreign
minister, said that a Labor
Party government would
grant powers of self-
government to Palestinians
in the West Bank even be-
fore a formal agreement on
autonomy, the New York
Times reported.
With Premier Menahem
Begin's government in tur-
moil, Eban called a news
. conference at which he out-
lined a Labor foreign policy
he contended would be less
rigid and more acceptable to
world opinion than that of
Begin.

JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Premier Menahem Begin
appealed to a group of
British Conservative Par-
liamentarians "to use your
influence so that the Euro-
pean initiative in the Mid-
dle East is stopped."
Begin said he hoped the
peace negotiations would be
resumed in late winter or
early spring and expected to
be invited to meet with
President Reagan, either
alone or together with
President Anwar Sadat.
He recalled Israel's "deep
astonishment" at the Euro-
pean Economic Commu-
nity's "Venice Declaration"
of last June which called for
the Palestine Liberation
Organization to be "associ-
ated with" the peace proc-
ess.
He urged his guests to
impress upon Parliamen-
tary opinion at
Westminister and at the
European Parliament the
damage which this form
of "encouragement of the
rejectionists" could do to
the peace process.
The MPs, members of the
"Conservative Friends of Is-
rael," seemed on the whole
to agree with Begin when
the premier criticized the
British Foreign Office for
having sent its officials to
meet with PLO chief Yasir
Arafat in Beirut recently.
Foreign Secretary Lord
Carrington's own declared
readiness to meet the PLO .
German Arms Deal to Saudis
for Tanks May Be Under Way
BONN (JTA) — Govern-

to be paving the way for the

Saudi Arabia and have
launched a campaign to

possible deviation from the
traditional limitations on
arms shipments to non-
members of the North At-
lantic Treaty Organization
(NATO).
In this connection,
Foreign Minister Hans-
Dietrich Genscher has been
quoted as saying that Saudi
Arabia is not to be consid-
ered a "region of tension."
The same view was ex-
pressed last week by Hans-
Juergen Wischnewski, a top
aide to Chancellor Helmut
Schmidt. Schmidt repor-
tedly negotiated a deal last
year to provide the Saudis
with the most advanced
West German tanks.
Under current regula-
tions, no West German-
made weapons can be
exported directly to
non-NATO countries lo-
cated in so-called "areas
of tension." But that self-
imposed ban can be lifted
by removing the country
seeking the weapons
from the category of a
tension area.
The government is said to
have taken into account a
possible worsening of rela-
tions with Israel if the tanks
sales to Saudi Arabia go
through. But officials here
said bonn has decided to fol-
low its own national inter-
ests on the question of arms
supplies.

leaders under certain condi-
tions was "detrimental even
though it is conditional,"
Begin said.
It was "sacreligious," he
said, to compare the PLO to
the pre-state Jewish libera-
tion organizations. The lat-
ter had tried constantly to
avoid civilian casualties,
and grieved whenever any
were inadvertently caused.
The PLO, on the other hand,
"boasts at the killing
women and children,"
Begin said.
Earlier in the day,
former U.S. Secretary of
State Henry Kissinger
said at a press conference
here that a separate
European initiative
would only complicate
the Mideast peace proc-
ess and make progress
more difficult.
He also called on the U.S.
and Europe to resolve their
differences on the Mideast.
Kissinger also told re-
porters that Israel's West
Bank settlements were a
problem in the autonomy
talks and would become a
major impediment in the
next stage of the peace proc-
ess.
In an interview in the
Jerusalem Post he said he
was against the U.S.
negotiating with the PLO
even if the PLO accepted
United Nations Security
Council Resolution 242.
Clerics Criticized for Calling
on U.S. to Talk With PLO
WASHINGTON (JTA) —
A Massachusetts-based
group called "Search for
Justice and Equality in
Palestine" has urged the
United States to reduce its
aid to Israel until Israel
"recognizes the human
rights of the Palestinian
people."
A petition supporting
that demand, signed by 40
clergymen and other reli-
gious figures, also called on
the U.S. to negotiate with
the Palestine Liberation
Organization.
"U.S.-PLO talks will
allow Washington to better
understand Palestinian as-
pirations and will enable
the U.S. to act as a genuine
mediator" in the Arab-
Israeli dispute, the petition
stated. It also accused Israel
of violating human rights.
The petition was con-
demned by the
Synagogue Council of
America (SCA), the coor-
dinating agency for the
Conservative, Orthodox
and Reform rabbinic and
congregational organiza-
tions, for "hypocrisy and
blatant lies."
The SCA statement, is-
sued by Rabbi Bernard
Mandelbaum, SCA execu-
tive vice president, noted
that among the signers of
the petition were Rev.
Daniel Berrgan and Rev.
Jesse Jackson.
The "Search for Justice"
petition, which was deliv-
ered to President Carter,
President-elect Reagan and
the Israel Embassy also
condemned Israeli settle-
ments on the West Bank as
a "major violation" of inter-
national law and urged the
Israeli and American gov-
ernments "to recognize the
right to self-determination,
including an independent
state in the West Bank and
Gaza if they so decide."
In addition to Berrigan,
who was a prominent
Catholic anti-Vietnam war
activist, and Jacison, foun-
der of Operation PUSH,
others who signed the peti-
tion included: William
Wipfler, director of the
office of human rights for
the National Council of
Churches; Philip Saliba,
Metropolitan of the Antioc-
hian Orthodox Church;
Philip Berrigan, a promi-
nent Catholic anti-Vietnam
war activist; Bishop James
Mathews of Washington, of
the United Methodist
Church; and five other
United Methodist Church
bishops.
