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 Straight from the heart in 14K gold. Reg.

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.

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.
