THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Shultz Looking at Post-Lebanon Middle East By MORRIS J. AMITAY WASHINGTON — Even before the PLO evacuation of Beirut was agreed upon, Secretary of State Shultz was making private sound- ings on Capitol Hill as to where U.S. Middle East pol- icy should go next. The Senators and Repre- sentatives who participated were all impressed by what a good listener Shultz was — and felt he was seeking to determine a common ground. Shultz prefaced all of his own remarks with an acknowledgement of the need to preserve Israel's se- curity. Whether this current cautious approach will re- sult in decisions based on closer cooperation with Is- rael — or putting the screws on her in negotiations over the West Bank — will be- come known in the next few weeks. But looking at the cast of characters advising the President on the Middle East, there is scant reason for optimism, even though the identity of interest be- tween the two countries provides a solid basis for a close relationship. * * With so much attention being focused on Yasir Arafat recently, the most definitive biography still remains a 1975 volume by British author Thomas Kiernan (Abacus Press). Detailed interviews with family, friends and ad- illuminate versaries childhood, Arafat's adolescence and rise to notoriety. Interestingly, but not surprisingly, most of his emotional and ideological conflicts were with fellow Arabs. " Among the revelations provided by Kiernan is con- firmation — sometimes in gruesome detail — of rumors which have been circulating among PLO- watchers as to Arafat's per- sOnal life and preferences. If one isn't turned away by the subject matter — and a copy can be found — the book of- fers a profile of the foe Israel has had to confront for the past 15 years. The November Congres- sional elections have pro- duced a bumper crop of Jewish candidates. Joining the 25 Jewish members of the House of Representa- tives running for re-election this year are 23 Jewish challengers for House seats. On the Senate side, there is a much greater proportion of involve- ment where nine of the 33 Senate races have a Jewish candidate either as an incumbent (two of the six Jewish Senators are up for re-election) or as a challenger (seven). The two incumbents are Howard Metzenbaum (D-Ohio) and Ed Zorinsky (D-Nebraska). In Delaware, Democratic challenger David Levinson will face Senator William Roth. In Missouri, Democrat Harriet Woods will chal- lenge Senator, John Dan- forth. In Nevada, Republican Chic Hecht is running in the GOP primary for nomina- tion to face the winner of the Democratic primary. In New Jersey, Democrat Frank Lautenberg will face Rep. Millicent Fenwick. In New York, Muriel Seibert is running in the GOP primary for nomi- nation to face Sen. Daniel P. Moynihan. In Pennsylvania, Demo- crat Cyril Wecht will face Sen. John Heinz. In Rhode Island, Demo- crat Julius Michaelson will face Sen. John Chafee. In the unlikely possibility all seven are elected, it would mean the U.S. Senate would have more than a mi- nyan! * * * When the last thing the American Jewish commu- nity needed was another Jewish organization — one has emerged here in Wash- ington with a specialized and vital function — the Jewish Institute for Na- tional Security Affairs. JINSA, which was es- tablished in 1976, has a two-fold purpose. It seeks to inform the Jewish Baseball Quiz By YITZHAK BEN-CHONE Jewish community of the necessity of the U.S na- tional defense effort, and to demonstrate to Ameri- can defense planners that Israel is of strategic importance to the U.S. In seeking to fulfill these worthwhile goals, JINSA deals directly with top Pen- tagon officials — and par- ticularly those in the uni- formed services whose careers are not subject to political changes. • The U.S. Defense estab- lishment is a crucial target for JINSA-sponsored publi- cations and discussion meetings — as is the Jewish community which benefits by more education on tech- nical military programs af- fecting both Israel and the U.S. To further this, JINSA, with its 8,000 members, has applied for membership in the Conference of Presidents of Major Ameri- can Jewish Organizations.
