war) against Israel. Reagan
said he "thought that this
kind of hope ought to be
pursued," Squadron said.
In reply, Squadron said
he told the President that he
was - concerned - that the
Saudis "are not serious"
about helping the peace
process. He pointed out that
Saudi Arabia did not lose
any territory in the 1967 Six
- Day War and they had
nothing to negotiate with
Israel. He said they could
sign a peace agreement
with Israel, a step which he
said Israel would welcome.
Reagan said the Saudis
are considered leaders in
their region and can be
"useful" in getting other
countries to join the peace
process, Squadron reported.
Stein, who participated
in the meeting between
Reagan and the
Presidents Conference,
stressed that Reagan had
declared he was commit-
ted to following the Camp
David process, not the
Fand plan, as the path to
peace in the Middle East.
Squadron noted that both
Meese and the President re-
confirmed the statements
Reagan made to the
Presidents Conference on
Sept. 15, 1980 when Reagan
was a candidate for the
presidency. Squadron said
this included support for a
united Jerusalem under Is-
raeli sovereignty, opposi-.
tion to a Palestinian state
and refusal by the United
States to deal with the
Palestine Liberation
Organization until it ended
its terrorism and accepted
United Nations Security
Council Resolution 242 and
Israel's right to exist.

Cloudy Future for El Al
By HUGH ORGEL
TEL AVIV (JTA) — The
end of the El Al strike, fol-
lowed by the resignations of
chairman Avraham Shavit
and his six-man board last
week, appear to have added
a new dimension to the air-
line's troubles and clouded
its future.
While the workers
claimed that their 12-day
walkout — not sanctioned
by Histadrut — achieved its
purpose by forcing out the
government-appointed
management in which they
no longer had confidence,
others believe the departure
of Shavit is a setback to the
process of solving the air
carrier's serious financial
difficulties.
Shavit, an industrialist
who heads the Israel Man-
ufacturers Association, is
credited with having done
much during his two years
as El Al's chairman to re-
duce its debts and set it on
the road to financial
solvency.
Observers fear his de-
parture may have halted
and possibly reversed the
recovery program he in-
stituted.
But a spokesman for the
Boost for Jewish
Education Seen
in Latin America
NEW YORK (JTA) — An
Israeli educator who
attended a 'five-day con-
gress on Jewish education
in Latin America held re-
cently in Rio de Janeiro,
said here that he found
Latin American Jewry at
the threshold of a Jewish
renaissance based on
Jewish education and the
centrality of Israel to
Jewish life.
Dr. Eli Tavin, head of the
World Zionist Organiza-
tion's department of educa-
tion in Jerusalem, said, in
his report released by the
WZO-American Section,
that the gathering had at-
tracted a record 224
educators from 11 coun-
tries, including Argentina,
Brazil, Chile, Colombia,
Mexico, Paraguay, Peru,
Uruguay and Venezuela.
The five days of plenary
sessions and workshops
were devoted to pedagogical
methods and means, to
ensure a positive Jewish
identity among 45,000
pupils in 130 schools and
kindergartens and to forge
intimate personal ties to
and identification with Is-
rael.
El Al workers committees
said Shavit's resignation
marked "the end of
feudalism" in the company.
Transport Minister Haim
Corfu, on the other hand,
was reported to be urging
Premier Menahem Begin to
appeal to Shavit to with-.
draw his resignation.
Shavit has insisted so far
that he would not. Arnold
Sherman, an El Al spokes-
man and one of the board
members who resigned said
the question was "who is
running the airline — man-
agement or workers com-
mittees?"
Normal service has yet to
be restored and some mem-
bers of management ex-
pressed concern that the
strike and apparent anar-
chy within the company
would frighten off many
would-be passengers.
The strike ended when
workers agreed to proposals
by Deputy Premier David
Levy, the nature of which
are still unclear.
Labor circles charged
that Levy's intervention
in the dispute without
consultations with man-
agement undermined the
role of Histadrut as a
bargaining agent and
disrupted the normal sys-
tem of labor-
management relations.
Some observers said that
was Levy's intention.
As Likud's senior repre-
sentative in Histadrut, he
has long sought to reduce
the power of the Labor
Party-dominated trade
union federation, they said.
United States official posi-
tion on Jerusalem is_tkrai
"we believe_ Jerusalem
should remain united" with
access to all the holy places
but that its final status
should be deterInined by
negotiations.
The State Department
also had a different nuance
on Reagan's statement to
the Jewish leaders that the
renunciation of terrorism
by the PLO is one of the con-
ditions for the United States
to deal with the PLO.
Fischer said the United
States would study whether
to deal with the PLO once it
accepts Israel's right to
exist and UN Security
Council Resolutions 242
and 338. He said that
"clearly, terrorism is not
consistent" with the recog-
nition of Israel's right to
exist and the two UN reso-
lutions.
On the issue of anti-
Semitism, the Jewish lead-
ers expressed their concern
over the imputations during
the AWACS debate of "dis-
loyalty" by those who op-
posed the sale. Squadron
said that- Reagan declared
that none of these ex-
pressions came from him or
from anyone in the Ad-
ministration. However,
Squadron said one of the
President's aides said that
one staff member had been
"rebuked."
saittIci.s and that the rea-
son for the rebuke or
what the rebuke entailed
was not mentioned. He
said Reagan denied that
his press, conference
statement in October tel-
ling other countries not
to interfere in U.S.
foreign policy was aimed
at Israel.
The Jewish Republicans
who met with Reagan were
members of the Coalition
for Reagan - Bush which
supported the Republican
ticket in the 1980 elections.
They included Max
Fisher of Detroit, George
Klein of New York, Gordon
Zacks of Columbus, Ohio,
Albert Spiegel of Los
Angeles, Laurence Tisch of
New York, Sylvia Hassen-
feld of Barrington, R.I., and
Detroiters Martin Citrin
and George Zeltzer.
Paul Borman of Detroit
was prevented from attend-
ing the meeting by travel
problems.
