RODNICK McINEREY'S 772-4350 _ 779-4140 The State Department said that the Reagan Administration would put "proper pressure" on Israel to support President Reagan's peace initiative but has ruled out sanctions. De- partment spokesman John Hughes defined "proper pressure" as "persuasion" and "draw- ing attention to the great benefits that will ensue for Israel making peace with its neighbors." (He said the U.S. hopes Israel will eventually agree when it realizes that "the end result is so rewarding" for its security.) The Knesset debate be- tween Likud and Labor over the Lebanon war centered on its expansion and the level of force applied rather than on the original war aims. Labor agreed with the necessity to rid south Leba- non of Palestinian terrorists menacing Israel's borders. But it questioned the need to send Israeli troops to Be- irut, 60 miles north of the border, and the intense land, air and sea bombard- ment of west Beirut. Begin implied that the PLO and the Syrians bore sole responsibility for for the expansion of the war. He said the PLO had two chances to end the bloodshed: the first on June 11, five days after the fight- ing started, when Israel de- clared a unilateral cease- fire after clearing the ter- rorists from a 40-mile zone in south Lebanon; and again on June 26 when Is- rael offered the PLO and the Syrians safe conduct out of Beirut via the Damascus highway. According to Begin, the war brought peace and a new life to the inhabitants of Galilee. He challenged Labor to go to the towns and villages of Galilee and try to tell the people there that the campaign was unjustified. "Its own local supporters would be the first to dis- agree," Begin said. George Ohrenstein Jewelers, Ltd. Creative Jewelers Harvard Row.
