By
ter Ariel Sharon at Sun-
day's Cabinet meeting.
But the premier's re-
marks, the papers noted,
were muted and indirect.
The prime minister's office
denied that his criticism
was, indeed, directed at
Sharon. But commentators
continued to insist that
Sharon was the target for
Begin's barbs.
According to press re-
ports, Begin criticized "cer-
tain Christian circles in
Lebanon who had dismissed
the Philip Habib negotia-
tions as fraud and decep-
tion," adding that they "had
no right to describe the plan
for the PLO exodus from
west Beirut in that man-
ner."
The papers pointed out
that there had been little,
if any, reports of such
remarks by Lebanese
Christian leaders. But Is-
raeli officials known for
their close links with
Sharon, who frequently
give background brief-
ings in his name, have in
recent days quoted "most
authoritative sources" as

using those terms of criti-
cism for Habib's activi-
ties.
Sharon's critics claim
that the Defense Minister
is, in any event, opposed to a
peaceful PLO departure
from west Beirut under the
terms of President Reagan's
special envoy, preferring to
attack the PLO forces and
forcing them out by a mili-
tary defeat.
The latest indication of
this attitude was in an
interview with an Israel
Television correspondent in
Beirut after his lengthy
meeting with Habib.
Sharon stressed that "no
agreement" had been
reached by Habib with any-
body on a planned with-
drawal of PLO forces,
mainly because no Arab
country had agreed to ac-
cept them, apart from a
small number who might be
taken by Jordan, Egypt or
the Sudan.
"They have nowhere to
go at this moment," Sha-
ron said in the interview,
"Because there is no
Arab country willing to
accept them, there is no
arrangement at this mo-
ment, no agreement, or
any possible deal." He
added that "the PLO is on
the verge of removal, one
way or another."
Sharon's statement came
even as Begin said in
Jerusalem that he had ac-
cepted a proposal by Habib
that an international force

move into west Beirut, as
part of a plan to get the PLO
forces out of the city and
then out of Lebanon al-
together after most but not
necessarily all of the ter-
rorists withdraw.
Although Sharon's popu-
larity among Israelis has
increased since the war in
Lebanon began June 6, his
popularity in the Cabinet
has been diminishing.
Some Cabinet ministers
feel that the Cabinet is not
in control of the situation,
that Sharon, and not the
Cabinet as a whole, is mak-
ing arbitrary decisions re-
garding the tactics and
strategy of the war.
The issue was raised
obliquely at last week's
Cabinet meeting when
ministers pressed Sharon
with detailed questions
about the advance of the
Israel Defense Force ear-
lier that day to capture
the Beirut international
airport. The ministers
were apparently un-
aware at that time of their
meeting of the massive
extent of the IDF's bomb-
ing and shelling of west
Beirut that day.
Sharon contended that
the IDF's advance was a
"local tactical action" in re-
sponse to the terrorists
breaking the cease-fire. He
apparently argued that the
advance was covered by the
long-standing decision-in-
principle that Israel will not
agree to a one-sided cease-
fire and that Israel's re-
sponse to PLO violations
would not necessarily be di-
rectly related in scope or in
area to the precise viola-
tions.
Meanwhile, a group of re-
servists recently released
after fighting in Lebanon
told a press conference in
Jerusalem that they had de-
livered to Begin a document
signed by more than 2,000
front line reservists asking
that Sharon be removed
from his post because serv-
icemen no longer had confi-
dence in him.
In another development
dealing with the PLO de-
parture from west Beirut,
Foreign 'Affairs and Secu-
rity Committee that there
were some indications that
the PLO was prepared to
leave, but the problem re-
mained of where they would
go.
A fierce debate is re-
ported to have taken
place between Shamir
and opposition Labor
Party members of the
committee about the cor-
rect policy to be insti-
tuted in the Beirut area.
Former Premier Yitzhak
Rabin said that since no
Arab countries would ac-
cept the beleaguered PLO
forces, his proposals for
their temporary stay in the
Tripoli area in northern
Lebanon should be seri-
ously considered, instead of
being rejected out of hand
by the government.

The Detroit Soviet Jewry
Committee of the Jewish
Community Council has
distributed background
materials to Detroit area
rabbis in an effort to remind
the community that Thurs-
day marked the 30th an-
niversary of the Night of the
Murdered Poets.
On Aug. 12, 1952, 24 lead-
ing Jewish writers and in-
tellectuals were executed
during the last repressive
days of the Stalinist era.
In a related action, Ger-
shenson and Jackier have
requested that Senators
Carl Levin and Donald
Riegle sign a letter cur-
rently circulating in the Se-
nate. The letter is on behalf
of Vladimir Slepak, one of
the original leaders of the
Jewish emigration move-
ment who has been waiting
for 12 years to receive and
exit visa.
The "Jewish Trial"
which resulted in "The
Night of the Murdered
Poets," began on July 11,
1952. Among the 25 ac-
cused were several re-
nowned Jewish aca-
demics and physicians, in
addition to the leading
Jewish poets and writers
in the USSR. They were
charged with being
agents of American im-
perialism who wanted to
separate Crimea from the
Soviet Union and estab-
lish their own "Jewish
bourgeois national
Zionist republic."
