Prospects for a cease-fire on Israel's northern border seemed to improve Tuesday night following a lengthy cabinet meeting in Israel, and a talk between Premier Begin and U.S. Envoy Philip Habib. Israeli officials said after these meetings that Israel was prepared to hold its fire if the other side stopped shooting. (In New York and in Be- irut UN and PLO sources indicated that PLO chief Yasir Arafat had taken vir- tually the same approach at his meeting Monday with UNIFIL Commander Gen. William Callaghan.) Israel publicly reiterated its refusal to negotiate di- rectly or indirectly with the PLO, and its determination to defend its citizens who were being threatened by PLO guns and rockets fired from inside Lebanon. Habib for his part read out a statement to waiting , newsmen following his meeting with Begin saying that: "On the basis of the statement by the govern- ment of Israel I will proceed with my mission as directed TRADITION KRAJENKE BUICK SALES, INC. 12801 Joseph Campau Detroit, MI 48212 891-2700 Where your Grandfather bought his BUICK!

HENKE BUICK by President Reagan to seek to secure a cease-fire along the Israeli-Lebanon border as a first step to bringing calm to the area. Israeli officials said the upshot of the two state- ments was "that Habib can negotiate a cease-fire." They said he could talk with Lebanese, Saudi and Syrian leaders — but not with the PLO. But political observers noted that the U.S., the UN and other states are known to be in private or public contact with the PLO, and that the PLO's consent will plainly have to be procured for a ces- sation of shooting along the border. Reading out the cabinet statement to newsmen, Begin noted first that he had reported to the minis- ters on his earlier talks with U.S., Israel Tie Explored MT. SCOPUS (JNI) — "Clients or partners?: Israel and the U.S." remained un- answered at last week's an- nual international confer- ence of the Leonard David Institute for International Relations. Yet most speak- ers would agree to a little of each. Hebrew University Prof. Shlomo Avineri explained the "paradox" of Israel-U.S. relations as two-fold. "Un- like any other client coun- try, Israel possesses maximum dependence and maximum flexibility," he said. "Also unprecedented is the fact that Israel's mili- tary capability surpasses that of the U.S." Calling the IDF "equiv- alent to NATO strength in regional terms," MK Moshe Arens cited ideological agreement and self-interest as the basis for a close U.S. - Israel relationship. "In fact, Israel remains militarily, economically and ideologi- cally dependent on the U.S.," he said. "The degree of autonomy varies and pol- icy is often inconsistent, but no small nation in the world has real independence." UJA Contest Winners Told NEW YORK (JTA) — Eight winners have been chosen in the United Jewish Appeal university essay contest. The essay theme was: "Toward Jewish Sur- vival in the 21st Century: New Visions and Strategies." The winning authors are: Paul Wolpe of Narberth, Pa., and Anne Rosen of New Rochelle, N.Y., both of Yale University; Joel Laitman of Tenafly, N.J. and Columbia University; Bradley Artson of San Francisco; Yitzhak Klein of Worcester, Mass. and Gilrad Troy of Hollis Hills, N.Y., all of Harvard University; Saul Brenner of Beverly Hlls, Calif. and the University of California at Berkeley; and Paul Kerbel of Silver Spring, Md., and the Jewish Theological Seminary of America. Habib and on "personal messages" received from Secretary of State Alexan- der Haig. The cabinet had resolved, Begin said: • "The government agrees that Mr. Habib em- bark upon contacts with the president of Lebanon, Mr. Sarkiss, and the govern- ment of Lebanon with the aim of establishing peaceful relations between Israel and Lebanon from where the terrorist organizations incessantly attack the terri- tory of Israel and murder and maim its citizens. • "The government of Israel will under no cir- cumstances conduct negotiations, directly or indirectly, with the Arab terrorist organizations whose declared aim is the destruction of Israel and its people and who inten- tionally turn their arms, supplied to them in large quantities by the Soviet Union, Libya and Syria, against the Jewish popu- lation. Likewise the gov- ernment of Israel does not authorize anybody to conduct negotiations with the afforementioned organizations. • "The government will continue to defend the citi- zens of Israel. This is its right and its duty." (The Conference of Presidents of Major Ameri- can Jewish Organizations was to meet in emergency session Thursday to be briefed by Israel's Ambas- sador Ephraim Evron on the reasons for the extensive bombings which resulted in hundreds of casualties. (Concern in Jewish ranks over the extensive bomb- ings and loss of civilian lives has threatened a division in Jewish public opinion which is threatening rifts in the hitherto unified efforts for Israel.) Reagan Hopes to Prevent Spread of Nuclear Arms WASHINGTON (JTA) — President Reagan an- nounced a policy to avoid the spread of nuclear weapons by encouraging the export of nuclear mate- rial, including breeder reac- tors, to countries which have an advanced nuclear power program as along as there are safeguards to pre- vent the material from being converted into weapons. Administration officials stressed that such a policy would give the U.S. greater "influence" to persuade other countries not to build nuclear weapons. At a White House brief- ing, Administration offi- cials denied that the policy announcement was triggered by Israel's air at- tack on Iraq's nuclear reac- tor last month. Since the June 7 raid, both those in Congress who have denounced Is- rael's action and those who have suppored it have been urging the Administration to fash- ion a strong non- proliferation program. Administration officials said that the new policy had been "many weeks" in the drafting. Both the President and the officials who explained his statement emphasized that the non-proliferation program was a continuation of the policies of past Ad- ministrations. This in- cluded a declared need to prevent the spread of nu- clear weapons, support of the Nuclear Non- Proliferation Treaty and support for the Interna- tional Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The officials stressed that what makes Reagan's pro- gram different from past programs is that , it encourages working with friendly countries for the peaceful use of nuclear energy. U.S. Jews Asked to Begin New Drive for Romania Jews NEW YORK - (JTA) — Organizations comprising the Conference of Presidents of Major Ameri- can Jewish Organizations are being asked to take new initiatives on Romanian Jewish emigration before the Senate hearings Mon- day on the renewal of most- favored-nation status for Romania. Such renewal is depen- dent on Congressional de- termination whether Romania is making satis- factory progress toward freer emigration under the Jackson Amendment. In a letter to the con- stituent organization of the Presidents Conference, Jacob Birnbaum, director of the Center for Russian and East European Jewry, cited the "outrageous drop" in annual Romanian Jewish emigration from over 4,000 in the years before Bucharest received Ameri- can economic benefits to barely 1,000 in recent years. He noted that during the first six months of 1981 only 329 Romanian Jews received exit visas. "This monthly average of 55 contrasts dramatically with the monthly 250-350 before 1975," Birnbaum said. Birnbaum contended that "since Bucharest has estab- lished an annual emigra- tion flow of approximately 11,000 Romanian Germans to West Germany and about 3,000 other citizens to the U.S., similar arrangements could be made for Jewish emigration to Israel to re- vert to the annual 3,000- 4,000 figure of only a few years earlier." There is a sweet pleasure in contemplation.
