Village Leagues Demand That Israel
Negotiate With Them on WB Future
Right In Your
Own Driveway!
,
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
The Village Leagues on the
West Bank, organized and
supported by Israel to
counter Palestine Libera-
tion Organization influ-
ence, are now challenging
the government for direct
negotiations with them on
the future of the territory.
That call was applauded
by some 2,000 Palestinians
assembled at Hussein High
School in Hebron to hear
Mustapha Dudein and other
Leagues leaders declare
"Yes to peace." The meeting
was the largeest in a series
of similar gatherings or-
ganized jointly by the Vil-
lage Leagues and the Israeli
civil administration.
Dudein told the rally,
"We declare that we firmly
reject terror, recognize the

state of Israel as our

tween the Arab states and
Israel."
Although no other
Palestinian group is on
record with similar posit-
ive statements, the Is-
raelis who have armed
and financed the Leagues
may be having doubts as
to whether they are the
right negotiating
partners at this stage.
There is no indicatin that
Dudein shares the Begin
government's view of au-
tonomy for the Palesti-
nians.
In fact, he is on record in
support of President
Reagan's Sept. 1 Middle
East initiative which calls
for a West Bank under
Palestinian control in asso-
ciation with Jordan and an
immediate freeze of Israeli
settlement activities in the
territory. The government
flatly rejected the Reagan
proposals.
Meanwhile, former Pre-
mier Yitzhak Rabin pro-
posed that Israel undertake
a six-month freeze on new
settlements in an attempt to
induce Jordan to join the
long stalled autonomy
talks.
According to Rabin,
interviewed on Israel
Radio, there is little
chance of progress in the
talks unless Jordan
enters the peace process.
A settlement freeze could
provide King Hussein with
the extra measure of
strength he needs to resist
hardline pressures from
within the Arab world, said
Rabin, a leader of the oppo-
sition Labor Party.
He maintained that there
is a "precedent" for a set-
tlement "freeze," citing
Premier Menahem Begin's
agreement to a three-month
freeze during the Camp
David talks as a gesture
toward other Arab parties.
In a related development
the civil administration on
the West Bank has in-
structed the regional gov-
ernors to "neutralize" pro-
Jordanian elements among
the local Arab leadership
and force them into greater
dependency on Israel.
Guidelines to that af-
fect were issued recently
by the acting head of the
civil administration, Col.
Yigal Karmon, according
to Haaretz which pub-
lished them Tuesday.
They apparently were
prompted by fears of
rapprochement between
King Hussein of Jordan
and Palestine Liberation
Organization chief Yasir
Arafat.
The guidelines raised
angry protests in the Knes-
set from both government
and opposition members.
Likud MK Dror Seigerman
demanded to know whether
Defense Minister Ariel
Sharon, who controls the
West Bank administration,
was acting on his own with-
out consulting Begin.
While the guidelines in-
struct the civil adminis-
trators to continue the
struggle against "radical"
pro-PLO mayors — nine of
whom were summarily
ousted from office this year
— they stress the need to
bind anti-PLO groups more
tightly to Israel.
The pro-Jordan Palesti-
nians were described as
"unwillingly pro-PLO"
since Jordan acceded to the
1974 Arab League summit
decision in Rabat, Morocco,
to designate the PLO as the
sole legitimate representa-
tive of the Palestinian
people.
They were said to in-
clude moderate politi-
cians who "will not make
a move without Jordan's
consent" and therefore
must be neutralized and
made more dependent on
the Israeli administra-
tion.
In that connection it was
noted that 12,000 Arabs
work for the civil adminis-
tration, 400 in senior posi-
tions and 50 in "very senior"
positions. The guidelines
suggest "they should be
strengthened for political
ends, for political use in the
future."
The methods proposed to
accomplish that end in-
cluded "massive removal of
those who stand hi the way
of the system and maximum
support for positive ele-
ments. This should include
pay raises, larger powers
and personal encourage-
ment."
The regional governors
were also instructed to
submit weekly reports to
the civil administration on
how the "nationalist and
pro-Jordanians" were being
treated.
They were ordered to
intensify supervision
over Arab civil service
workers who "for years
either showed no politi-
cal tendencies or who
were indifferent to or
actively jeopardized the
administration efforts.'
The guidelines were dis-
tributed about two weeks
ago. In the Knesset Sieger-
man of Likud questioned
whether they were issued at
the civil administration's
initiative or by the govern-
ment.
If the latter, he said, they
meant that Israel has de-
cided to run the affairs of
Arabs on the West Bank,
leading to ultimate annexa-
tion. If this plan is im-
plemented, he warned, it
will make the West Bank
into "Israel's Vietnam."
The Peace Now move-
ment issued a statement
charging that the civil
governors were in-
structed to implement
"corrupt colonialist
policies" for political
ends. The Labor Party
young guard called for
immediate cancellation
of the guidelines.
Meanwhile, two more
foreign lecturers at West
Bank universities were
forced to leave the country
because they refused to sign
a document dissociating
themselves from the PLO, a
pre-requisite for work per-
mits.
They are Mohammad
Rashiq, a Palestinian hold-
ing a Jordanian passport
who lectures in chemistry,
and Fairuz Shehadeh, an
American citizen who is an
English instructor. They
were the first non-resident
faculty members of Bir Zeit
University near Ramallah
to be ordered out of the
country.
Their expulsion brought
to 21 the number of non-
resident faculty members at
three West Bank univer-
sities to be ousted. Another
31 have been ordered to
cease teaching im-
mediately. All have refused
to sign the document on
grounds that its intent was
political and violated pro-
fessional ethics.
In Washington, the State
Department warned that
Israel's expulsion of non-
resident teachers who re-
fused to sign a pledge not to
provide direct assistance to
terrorist groups was harm-
ful to the Reagan Adminis-
tration's "effort to restore
momentum to peace proc-
ess."

Jet Lab Opens
TEL AVIV (JTA) — The
Tark-Recu Jet Propulsion
Laboratory, the first of its
kind in Israel, has been
opened at the Technion. It
will be used for research and
the training of Israeli scien-
tists and engineers and to
increase the self-slifficiency
of Israel Aircraft Industries.
Research will be contin-
ued on several current proj-
ects in coordination with

Weizmann Scientists Study
Human Reaction to Pain
REHOVOT — Oblivious-
ness to pain in times of
danger or duress is well-
documented, dating back to
antiquity. But only recently
have scientists succeeded in
identifying a set of hor-
mones — the endorphin sys-
tem — thought to play a key
role in this merciful bodily
response.
At Israel's Weizmann In-
stitute, Dr. Shimon Amir of
the Isotope Research De-
partment and the Center for
Neurosciences and Be-
havioral Research, probes
precisely how these opiate-
like hormones may be in-
volved in producing
analgesia as well as some of
the other acute affects of
stress, namely soaring
blood sugar levels.
Initially, Amir injected
mice and rats with chemi-
cals to block endorphin ac-
tion; then he subjected them
to electric shock or other
stressful conditions. When
the various physiological
and behavioral char-
acterists were examined, it
was found that these mice
did not exhibit the same
stress-related responses as
their counterparts whose
endorphins were undis-
turbed.
By elucidating the role
and modus operandi of
these "stress hormones"
Dr. Amir hopes it will
eventually be possible to
apply his findings to seri-
ous medical problems.
Certain psychiatric dis-
orders, among them the
schizophrenic condition of
immobility known as
catatonia, may also be
linked to endorphin ac-
tivity. Dr. Amir has pro-
duced experimental evi-
dence that endorphins are
likely to cause similarly fro-
zen posture in animals
under the threat of attack,
enabling them to escape the
attention of their predators
by appearing to be lifeless.
In mice, such behavior
may be advantageous. But
in humans, catalepsy usu-
ally signals that something
is wrong. Perhaps, Amir
conjectures, the endorphin
system is out-of-control. He
believes, therefore, that this
condition might be allevi-
ated through administra-
tion of compounds that
block endorphine action.
Before such techniques
are adopted on a larger
scale, Shimon Amir and his
colleagues must ensure that
endorphin control is as
selective as possible and
that its side-effects, if any,
are short-lived, so that na-
ture's essentially defensive
response to stress is not ir-
reparably damaged in the
process.
Inquiry Pressure
from U.S. Rabbi
TEL AVIV (ZINS) — The
newspaper Haaretz re-
ported that the U.S. tal-
mudic scholar, Rabbi
Joseph D. Soloveitchik,
influenced Israel's decision
to have a full inquiry into
the Beirut massacre.
Haaretz said Rabbi Sol-
oveitchik telephoned Israel
Justice Minister Josef Burg,
a member of the National
Religious Party, on the
Sabbath to ask for a full in-
quiry. The rabbi said the
serious situaton justified
the profanation of the Sab-
bath.
