THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
Labor, Liberals and Herut Suffer from In-Fighting,
By MOSHE RON

Israel Correspondent
TEL AVIV — Yitzhak
Rabin waits for his oppor-
tunity to regain the Labor
Party leadership from Shi-
mon Peres. They meet and
consult each other, but
Rabin is not willing to put
up with a position of
"Number Two" in the party
behind Peres.
Polls show that the pros-
pects of the Labor Party in
the next elections would be
better if Rabin would lead
the party.
After the election debacle
for Labor in 1977, Peres
reorganized and
strengthened the party. He
succeeded, but he has an old
account to settle with Ra-
bin, Who attacked him
strongly in his book, "Serv-
ice Book." The Likud used
passages of this book in its
election campaign, repeat-
ing what Rabin had said
about Peres.
Many members of the
Labor Party blame Rabin
for moving away from the
party line in several areas.
They blame him for accept-
ing a Jabotinsky medal.
Rabin explains that he was
invited to give a lecture to
IZL veterans and was
awarded a medal after the
lecture.

Meanwhile,
some
members of the Labor
Party are trying to con-
vince President of Israel
Yitzhak Navon not to run
for a second term, but to
return to active political
life and head the Labor
list in the next Knesset
elections. This seems to
be the only possible al-
ternative to a Likud vic-
tory.
Navon said these appeals
are interfering with his
presidency. He says that he
will decide his future in
February. All the same, the
pro-Navon campaign is con-
tinuing in the Israeli press.

The Liberal Party, ac-
cording to its old agreement
with Herut has 18 Knesset
members and six portfolios
in the Cabinet. It is rio
secret that if the Liberals
had to stand for election

DULANY'S
JERUSALEM (JTA) — A
young Tel Aviv University
archeologist believes he has
found the oldest Hebrew
reference to the name of God
in a treasure trove of coins,
amulets and other ancient
objects yielded by an ar-
cheological dig on a hill fac-
ing Mt. Zion in Jerusalem.
Gabriel Barkay, who con-
ducted the excavations
three years ago, told an lec-
ture audience at the Roc-
kefeller Museum in
Jerusalem that the nature
of the discovery was un-
ravelled only last month by
a special technique applied
in the laboratory of the Is-
rael Museum. The objects
under study were two pure

Dulany's Gallery finds itself in the unique position of a change of direc-

would not get half of their
Knesset seats. But Prime
Minister Begin knows quite
well, that without the aid of
the Liberals he would never
have come to power.
Some Herut leaders are
now demanding that the
Likud list for the next
Knesset elections be based
on the actual power of its
components. This demand
gets stronger when Knesset
or Cabinet members of the
Liberals demonstrate inde-
pendent attitudes.
Several months ago
there were talks in the
Likud to unite Herut with
the Liberal Party, but
difficulties arose. The
talks of unison were put
off and Herut leaders
demanded a change in
the agreement between
the two parties.
The Liberals have lost
their independent political
and economic line. They
surrender to the views Of
Herut. Liberal MK Yitzhak
Berman had to resign when
he refused to support the
government on the war in
Lebanon, the settlement
policies in Judea and
Samaria and relations be-
tween Israel and the United
States.
Vice Minister David
Shiffman was chosen to
take the place of Berman in
the Cabinet, but he died.
Since then an internal
struggle has been going on
for weeks.

scrolls dating from the
Seventh Century BCE.
Barkay would not iden-
tify the other texts, except
to say he was still trying to
decipher them.
He said he kept his re-
search on the objects
more or less secret up to
now to avoid agitating
ultra-Orthodox Jews
who might accuse him of
desecrating ancient
Jewish graves. The exca-
vations, alongside St.
Andrews Church above
the Hinnom Valley, were
described by ar-
' cheologists as the "most
sensational" in 150 years
of digs and around
Jerusalem.
They yielded the largest
amount of Jewelry ever
found at a Jerusalem site
and the oldest coin ever
found in the country — a
sixth Century BCE coin in
the shape of a crab from the
Aegaean island of Kos.
Barkay said he found the
two silver prayer scrolls in
an underground tomb
chamber filled with gifts
placed alongside the bones
of the deceased.
He explained that earlier
Hebrew references to God's
name have not been found
because they were on
papyrus or other perishable
material God's name would
not appear on stone inscrip-
tions because they were not
traditionally religious
texts, he said.
Woe to him whose advo-
cate becomes his prosecutor!
Seven candidates are
fighting for the party lead-
ership: Vice Minister for
Agriculture Pessah Gruper,
Knesset member Sara Do-
ron, former , Knesset
member Moshe Meron,
Knesset members Dr.
Yehuda Perah and Yitzhak
Zeiger, former Vice Mayor
of Haifa Zvi Zimerman and
journalist Sgalit Priel.
All seven candidates
have patrons in the party.
The central committee of
the party should have
been convened to decide
the matter, but Vice Pre-
mier Simha Erlich post-
poned the meeting, argu-
ing that after the results
of the inquiry commis-
sion on the massacre in
Beirut are announced,
there could be Knesset
elections and changes in
the government.

For many weeks several
blocs in Herut have tried to
choose the successor to
Menahem Begin. There is a
group which supports De-
fense Minister Ariel Sha-
ron, another prefers Fi-
nance Minister Yoram
Aridor. Also mentioned are
Vice Prime Minister David
Levy and Foreign Minister
Yitzhak Shamir.
There are rumors about
the candidacy of the Israel
Ambassador to the U.S.
Moshe Arens.
Yoram Aridor supports
Shamir. There is a strong
confrontation between
Aridor and David Levy:
Both are competing for the
chairmanship of the per-
manent commission for the
next congress of the Herut
movement. Levy previously
held this office. The corn-
mission has a strong influ-
ence in choosing party
representatives.
It seems that the struggle
between these groups is
happening too early. Begin
declared a few months ago
that he intends to leave
political life. But "Be-
ginologists" doubt, if he
really intends to do so. He
may just be standing back to
watch the in-fighting.
