Mustafa Dudein, chairman Leagues on the West Bank,
believes it is time for Pales-

and the other Village
League leaders who are the
elected leaders of the West
Bank. He said the mayors
were elected to administer
municipal services and not
to deal in politics. League
members, however, he said
were elected at large meet-
ings to represent the people.
He said he is ready for any
election to decide who re-
presents the people in par-
ticular areas and "is ready
for the results."
But Dudein states that
Village League officials
were also elected to pursue a
political course leading to
direct negotiations with Is-
rael without any precondi-
tions. In that context, he
sees the Jewish settlements
on the West Bank as "part of
the problem, but not all of
it." But because of the set-
tlements, he urges his fel-
low Arabs to "hurry and
start the negotiations. If we
delay a few years all of the
area will be covered with
settlements and it will be
too late."

TEL AVIV (JTA) —
Romanian Chief Rabbi
Moses Rosen, reversing an
earlier statement, asserted
here that the new Roma-
nian law requiring all emi-
grants to reimburse the
government for the free sec-
ondary and higher educa-
tion they had received,
would in fact be applied to
those Jews seeking to make
aliya.
"Just as I announced then
the positive approach of the
authorities in Bucharest, I
feel obliged to report . . . on
the change that has taken
place in Romania and (its)
effect on) Jews," Rabbi
Rosen told reporters last
week.
The publication of the
new directive last Novem-
ber caused widespread con-
sternation among Jews
around the world. The Re-
agan Administration has
repeatedly warned that the
education tax could affect
"Most Favored Nation"
trade status to Romania on
the grounds that the new
law violates the terms of the
Jackson-Vanik Amend-
ment to the Foreign Trade
Act which links trade with
Communist bloc nations to
their emigration policies.
Following the publication
of the tax, Rabbi Rosen as-
serted that the Romanian
government, for many de-
cades, has made a distinc-
tion between "emigration"
and "aliya." He added that

Rabbi Rosen told report-
ers last week that his ear-
lier statement was made
after he received assurances
from Romanian officials "at
the highest level." He said
the Romanian government
did not collect the tariff
from some 40 Jews who
have left the country since
the tax was announced. But
since then, Rabbi Rosen
added, he has been informed
that the authorities had re-
sumed collecting the tax
from Jews emigrating to Is-
rael.
