Israel Leads in Total Maccabia Medals

(Continued from Page 1)

U

the 20 gold medals with Is-
rael and South Africa shar-
ing the remaining four
medals between them.
Only Shlomo Glicks-
tein, Israel's top tennis
player, prevented the U.S.
from making a clean sweep
of the court's play. He
coasted to an easy win over
Brad Gilbert of Piedmont,
Calif., 6-4, 6-3, in the men's
final.
a
Andrea
Leand,
junior Wimbledon semi-
finalist of Brooklandville,
Md., came up with her sec-
ond gold medal in mixed
doubles with partner Jeff
Klaparda of Los Angeles,
Calif., in a long contest, the
best of the day, when they
defeated Gail Joss and
Brian Levine of South Af-
rica 2-6, 6-2, 6-4.
Gilbert was consoled
somewhat for his singles
loss to Glickstein when
teamed with Jon Levine in
doubles they beat fellow
Americans, Ricky Meyer
and Paul Bernstein, 6-4,
6-3.
Politics entered the
games when the Mexi-
cans A. Walerstein and
M. Fastlie refused to take
the court against E.
Saphire and J. Saks of
South Africa in the over
35-year final, thereby for-
feiting the match.
The Mexican tennis man-
ager advised Maccabia

court officials before the
start of the tournament that
none of his players would
compete against South Af-
rican players at the insis-
tence of the Mexican gov-
ernment which bans sport-
ing association with South
Africa in international offi-
cially recognized events.
Earlier the Mexicans re-
fused to play a scheduled
soccer match with South Af-
rica, forcing the organizing
committee to switch the two
teams to separate football
brackets. The enraged
South African booters went
on to beat the United States
in the football finals 3-1 at
Ramat Gan stadium.
For the Americans it was
a moral victory since they
had never taken down a
medal in soccer and were ec-
static with their silver
runner-up team trophy.
The South Africans
dominated the final game
after coming from be-
hind. The U.S. scored
first in the 10th minute of
play on a goal by Kenneth
Abrams of Spring Valley,
N.Y., but lagged behind
the rest of the contest. Is-
rael just managed to
come up with a bronze
medal by downing Great
Britain 5-4.
The U.S. retained its bas-
ketball title won four years
ago by swamping Israel
91-71 at the Yad Eliahu
stadium.

Coalition Negotiations Begin

JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Premier Menahem Begin
opened coalition negotia-
tions with National Reli-
gious Party leaders Sunday,
offering them four portfolios
in a new cabinet — educa-
tion, interior, police and the
religious affairs ministries.
He also suggested that a
coalition agreement with
the NRP include a clause
stating that the prime
minister supported the
"Who is a Jew?" amend-
ment to the Law of Return
and that efforts would be
made to recruit a coalition
majority in favor of it.
Only last week, Begin
told reporters he would
limit the NRP — with only
six Knesset mandates — to
two portfolios and that he
could not make a commit-
ment to force members of
his coalition to support the
controversial amendment.
The amendment which
would recognize only
conversions performed
by Orthodox rabbis "ac-
cording to Halakha"
never reached a vote in
the last Knesset because
of strong opposition to it.
The NRP, apparently
wary of a vote in the new
Knesset, has suggested that
instead of amending the
law, jurisdiction over con-
versions performed abroad
as well as in Israel be turned
over exclusively to the rab-
binical courts.
Meeting with members of
the Herut secretariate here
over the weekend, Begin
said he was seeking to form
an 18-member coalition

government which would
include eight members of
his own Herut party, six of
Likud's Liberal Party wing
and two NRP ministers —
each of whom would hold
dual portfolios. He would
offer one portfolio each to
the Tami and La'am fac-
tions.
Meanwhile, the 10th
Knesset was sworn into
office Monday against the
background of escalating
warfare across the Israel-
Lebanon border which
brought urgent appeals for
national unity from
President Yitzhak Navon
and others who addressed
the inaugural session.
In Washington, Gaston
Thorn, president of the
commission of the European
Economic Community
(EEC), said that the West
European countries will
wait to see what direction
the government being
formed by Israeli Premier
Menahem Begin will take
before pushing the "Euro-
pean initiative" for a Middle
East peace.

Anti-Semite
Ousted in Poland

NEW YORK (JTA) —
One of the casualties in last
week's election of the new
leadership of Poland's
Communist Party was
Mieczyslaw Moczar, the
former Minister of Internal
Affairs.
Moczar was the Interior
Minister during the 1968 of-
ficial anti-Semitic period in
Poland and was responsible
for issuing anti-Jewish
pamphlets at the time.
