NEW YORK — Chancel-
lor Helmut Schmidt of West
Germany told the leaders of
Saudi Arabia this week that
it was not feasible at this
time for West Germany to
end its policy of not selling
arms to Middle Eastern
countries.
Schmidt's response to the
Saudi request for hundreds
of tanks and sophisticated
weapons systems was seen
by analysts as a means for
Germany to gently deny the
Saudi request at this time
while not afronting its prin-
cipal oil supplier and cre-
ditor.
Schmidt met for two days
with Crown Prince Fand
and King Khalid. Both sides
issued statements that they
would seek stronger ties
with the other, statements

Baker said the pro-
posals as they now stand
would probably be re-
jected by Congress. He
indicated that the input
would give the U.S. some
type of control over the
AWACS after they are de-
livered to Saudi Arabia,
beginning in 1985.

business ties.
The Frankfurt-based
Federation of Jewish
Holocaust Survivors pub-
lished advertisements in
major-West German news-
papers last week condemn-
ing the Bonn government's
plan to sell arms to the
Saudis.
In Bonn last Friday,
Jewish students and
other supporters of Israel
demonstrated against the
proposed sale of Leopard
tanks and other materiel
to the Saudis.
The demonstration at-
tracted considerable media
coverage. The demon-
strators carried signs read-
ing, "Leopard II Equals
Holocaust II."
The demonstration coin-
cided with a visit by British
Foreign Secretary Lord
Carrington, who briefed
Schmidt before his depar-
ture for Saudi Arabia. Car-
rington,recently visited the
Saudis to discuss the Euro-
pean Economic Commu-
nity's Middle East peace in-
itiative.
Schmidt announced in
Saudi Arabia this week that
the Palestine Liberation
Organization would par-
ticipate in a fall meeting of
EEC and Arab foreign
ministers

Saudis May Buy
Austrian Tanks
VIENNA (JTA) About
100 Austrian tanks, origi-
nally intended to go to
Chile, will be sold instead to
Saudi Arabia, the West
German magazine, Der
Spiegel, reported Monday.
The sale to Chile by the
tank manufacturer,
Steyr-Daimler-Puch, fell
through last year after
widespread public protests
forced the government to
deny an export permit to
that country, governed by a
rightwing military dic-
tatorship.
Painter's Son Now a Priest
PARIS (JTA) -- The
long-lost son of Jewish
painter Amadeo Modigliani
has been found in a small
village near Paris where he
serves as the local parish
priest.
Father Gerard Thii.oux-
Villette, 64, told a French
newspaper that he had
known since he was 13-
years old that he was the
son of the world famous ar-
tist. The painter's son was
"discovered" by Le Journal
de Dimanche as a retrospec-
tive exhibition of Modig-
liani's major works opened
at the Pompidou Center.
Modigliani, at his death
in 1920, left two infant chil-
dren: a two-year-old daugh-
ter, Janine, and - a four-
month old son, Gerard.
The boy disappeared
and only art historians
knew of his presumed
hat
existence. He said that-
his mother, who was an
art student and 20 years
old at the time of his
birth, first left him with
foster parents who gave
him the name of Villette.
Later she cared for him
herself.
He said he has never been
in touch with his father's
family and does not intend
to do so tow. Thiroux-
Villette said he wants to be
forgotten by the outside
world and added that the
only time he revealed his
father's identity was when
he joined a Catholic semi-
nary 44 years ago.
