It was demolished by the American Jewish Con- gress' Phil Baum and Raphael Danziger in a statement published last Friday in the New York Times. Their joint state- ment points out the follow- ing: The State Department's carefully calibrated endorsement of the Saudi "peace' plan cannot be con- sidered as anything but an abandonment of previous U.S positions. It is espe- cially distressing that the department should try to pass off this plan as some kind of version of Security Council Resolution 242. It is not. It is a reversal of 242. Article 1 of the Saudi plan demands "Israeli evacua- tion of all Arab territories seized during the 1967 Mideast war, including the Arab sector of Jerusalem" (emphasis added); Article 1 (i) of Resolution 242 merely calls for "with- drawal of Israeli armed forces from territories occu- pied in the recent conflict." Efforts to include terms like "All" the territories were explicitly rejected and the words deliberately omitted from 242. Article 2 of the Saudi plan requires "dismantl- ing the settlements set up by Israel on the occupied lands." No such condi- tion exists ill 242. Articles 4 to 6 of the Saudi plan are the reason for Yasir Arafat's endorsement of it. While Article 2 (b) of Resolution 242 merely af- firms the necessity for "achieving a just settlement of the refugee problem," the Saudi articles assert the "rights" of the Palestinian people and demand "setting up a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capi- tal" following a very brief transitional period. Article 7, "affirming the right of all countries of the region to live in peace," falls far short of Article 1 (i) of 242, which calls for the "terminating of all claims or states of belligerency and respect for and acknowl- edgement of the sover- eignty, territorial integrity and political independence of every state in the area and their right to live in peace within secure and recognized boundaries free from threats or acts of force." And yet the State De- partment praised the con- tents of Article 7 as im- plicitly recognizing Israel's right to exist.

Woman Leads Hungarian Jewry By MOSHE RON The Jewish News Special Israel Correspondent TEL AVIV — The late Dr. Geza Seifert was for 12 years the leader of the Jewish community in Hun- gary. Today, his wife Ilena is his successor. According to a Hungarian custom women adopt the name of their husband and Dr. Geza Seifert, an elegant woman, is today the General Sec- retary of the community. When this office was of- fered her after the death of her husband, she asked the Orthodox Chief Rabbi, Moshe Weiss, if it was against the Torah for a woman to take such a job. The Chief Rabbi answered that nowhere was it written that a general secretary of a Jewish community has to be a man. The Orthodox commu- nity, headed by Herman Fixler, has good relations with Dr. Seifert. The doors to the government offices are open to her. She speaks fluent English, participates in international meetings of the Jewish World Congress, the Joint Distribution Committee and other organizations. Her office is furnished with taste. On her table there are several souvenirs from Israel. Everybody likes her, as she is modest and tries to help everybody. Dr. Seifert wants to in- crease 'the number of beds in the Jewish hospi- tal and kosher rations in the kitchens of the Jewish community. She provides for meals in the Jewish kindergarden. She has contacts with high officials in the gov- ernment. There is a permanent con- tact between Jews in Budapest and Israel, which is hampered by the lack of diplomatic relations be- tween the two countries. Dr. Seifert speaks warmly about Israel.

The Jews in Hungary enjoy equal rights like all the other religious com- munities, Dr. Seifert told us. All religious and social institutions are supported by the Hungarian Govern- ment. "I refer especially to the Jewish school, hospital, old age home and kinder- garten," she said. "Recently a building was turned into a restaurant for old people. Thousands of free meals are served daily at this restau- rant. The construction firm did not demand any pay- ment for its work." "But we do not lack wor- ries," Dr. Seifert says. "In many villages where Jews used to live, there is nobody to care for the cemeteries and vacant synagogues. The government is ready to fi- nance the care, but there is nobody left to do it." The Jewish community in Hungary is the largest in Eastern Europe after the Soviet Union. There are ap- proximately 100,000 Jews living in Hungary, 80,000 of them in Budapest. Not all Jews belong to the Jewish community. Some, espe- cially high officials and in- tellectuals, refrain from demonstrating their Jewish faith. .
