The topics discussed were mainly local matters — such as grants for re- building the local market- ing, simplified proessing of permits to cross bridges to Jordan and reunification of families and release of pris- oners held by Israel for se- curity reasons. Arens promised that most of the demands would be favorably reviewed. But both Freij and Arens said the meeting was the start of a dialogue which would in- clude - political issues. Arens told reporters after the meeting that, "of course" he could not promise "that on those is- sues I will not have dif- ferences with the Mayor." He also com- mented that the meeting was proof "that Arabs and Jews should live peacefully in this part of the country." Observers said the visit to Bethlehem could indicate a change in the attitude of Is- raeli authorities toward West Bank Arab leaders. During the time Ariel Sha- ron was Defense Minister, there were few Israeli con- tacts with the urban leader- ship, with emphasis placed on the rural leadership, par- ticularly in support of the announces that pro-Israel Village Leagues. The new trend at the De- fense Ministry is to revive dialogue with the urban leadership, which was flow- ering when the late Moshe Dayan was Defense Minis- ter. The observers said one initial result would be an extension of Israeli dialogue with pro-Jordan elements, such as Hikmat al Masri of Nablus, a former speaker of the Jordanian Parliament, who was also received Mon- day by Arens. The weakness of the new Defense Ministry's policy is that the pro-Jordan Pales- tinian Arab elements will not move politically without King Hussein's approval. They rejected the Camp David accords, accepted by Israel, and accepted President Reagan's peace initiative, rejected by Is- rael. HIGH HOLIDAY SERVICES Will be held at Pepper School Dartmouth at Church Only 3.2 percent of Likud supporters favor him while he was favored by 14.5 percent among Labor voters — about the same proportion from Labor supporting Begin as Likud leader. Asked for their prefer- ences among Labor Party leaders, the respondents gave former Premier Yit- zhak Rabin first place, with an overall preference vote of 39.6 percent. This included nearly 37 percent among Likud supporters and 47.5 percent among Labor sup- porters. Former President Yit- zhak Navon took second place in overall popularity with 23.5 percent, which in- cluded preference from 34.4 percent among Likud sup- porters and 12.9 percent among Labor backers.
