He said Begin was responsible be- cause of his inflammatory statements and his failure to condemn forcefully the outburst of verbal violence by the government's sup- porters. Begin indicated to the Knesset on Tuesday that his government accepted the recommendations of the commission of inquiry into the Beirut refugee camps massacre only because Is- rael is a country that lives by the rule of law. Heaping praise on the outgoing Defense Minister Ariel Sharon and the senior army officers whose ousters the commission called for, Begin said the decision to comply with the recom- mendations was a very hard one to take. He defended the retention of Sharon in the Cabinet, an issue over which Israeli legal experts are sharply divided. The Knesset voted 61-56 Tuesday to approve the Cabinet changes. Begin will assume the re- sponsibilities of Defense Minister temporarily until his choice for the post, Ambassador Moshe Arens, returns from Washington. Arens' con- firmation by the Knesset is a virtual certainty. (There is speculation that Arens will be replaced in the U.S. by Israel's Am- bassador to France Meir Rosenne.) The Knesset vote also endorsed the decision to keep Sharon on as a Minister-Without-Portfolio. That decision has been at- tacked by prominent jurists and sections of the press as a circumvention of the com- mission's intentions. But Begin cited legal opinion in support of it, notably by At- torney General Yitzhak Zamir, former Attorney An Officer and A Gentleman Moonraker The Road Warrior Diva PT-109 Fanny Lady Chatterly's Lover $2.50 overnight $5, 4 days $35 membership fee VIDEO PLUS 19739 EVERGREEN ROAD (at 12 Mile) SOUTHFIELD, MI 569-2330 VIDEO PLUS AUDIO 6641 ORCHARD LAKE RD.

Begin also demanded an apology from Time maga- zine for publishing a report in its latest edition that an unpublished section of the inquiry commission's find- ings disclosed that Sharon had encouraged the Chris- tian Phalangists in Leba- non to take revenge on the Palestinians in the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps. According to Time he did this at a secret meet- ing with veteran Phalan- gist leader Pierre Gemayel the day after his younger son, Lebanon's President-elect Bashir Gemayel, was assassi- nated. Begin said the Time allegation was completely false and that the American news weekly owed Israel an apology. Begin met alone with Sharon on Monday to dis- cuss the handover of the de- fense post. He also received, separately, Chief of Staff Rafael Eitan, who will com- plete his term of service in April. The inquiry commis- sion was sharply critical of Eitan for his failure to have ordered the immediate re- moval of the Phalangist forces from Shatila and Sabra camps upon his arri- val in Beirut on Friday, Sept. 17. Begin also met with mili- tary intelligence chief Gen. Yehoshua Saguy, who was blasted by the panel for "breach of duty incumbent on the director of military intelligence," and ordered that he be relieved of his post. Israel Radio said Saguy emerged red-eyed from his meeting with the Premier. The intention, it is understood, is to find Saguy another post within the Is- rael Defense Force. Brig. Gen. Amos Yaron, the immediate commander of Israeli forces in Beirut, also castigated by the in- quiry panel, will also be of- fered a senior IDF post that is not a field command. The commission recom- mended in his case that he not be given a field com- mand for at least three years for his failure to act on the night of Sept. 16 when initial reports of 300 dead civilians filtered out of the camps and reached him. An ebullient Sharon made his first public ap- pearance, several hours after he announced his resignation, at a meeting of the Israel Bar Associa- tion in Tel Aviv. He was clearly buoyed by the standing ovation he re- ceived and joked with his supporters in the audi- ence. He told the meeting that the main reason he opposed accepting the inquiry corn- mission's report was its reference to Israel's "indi- rect responsibility" for the massacre of Palestinians in the Sabra and Shatila camps in west Beirut. "This is completely untrue," Sha- ron declared. "Israel bears no responsibility, either di- rect or indirect, for what happened there. But it will be used by our enemies and brand us with a mark of Cain for many years to come." Sharon took formal leave of the Defense Ministry on Monday with full pomp and military ceremony. Army officers and senior officials invited to the farewell pro- ceedings expressed surprise at the extensive publicity arrangements for what is normally a quiet event (Continued on Page 8) COMPLETE ALTERATIONS Reasonable Prices HERBERT Cleaners & Tailors Draperies Decorated Folded Lapels Narrowed Expert Cleaning Lowest Prices!
