MKs Reported Critical of Burg
for Attempt to Salvage NRP
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Efforts by Interior Minister
Yosef Burg to bring MK
Hanan Porat and other de-
fectors back to the National
Religious Party have
triggered angry reactions
from the Tehiya Party from
which Porat just quit and
from the "young guard" of

the NRP.
Burg and Avraham
Melamed of the NRP's
Lamifne faction reportedly
held secret discussions with
Porat and with members of
the new Natzad group,
headed by NRP defector
Haim Druckman, at Ofra on
the West Bank last Tues-
day. Further meetings were
held later in the week and
an agreement reportedly
was near.
Porat's colleagues in
Tehiya expressed outrage
when reports of these meet-
ings were published over
the weekend. Burg accused
"persons anxious to tor-
pedo" his efforts to re-
vitalize the flagging NRP of
leaking the reports. He was
apparently referring to
members of the "young
guard" who were left out of
the secret talks and fear
they would be overwhelmed
if rightwingers such as Por-
at and Druckman return to
the NRP.
Porat told reporters
that he had informed his
Tehiya colleagues, Sci-
ence Minister Yuval
Neeman and MK Geula
Cohen that he was
negotiating with Burg.
Cohen disputed this.
Porat also promised that
if he returned to the NRP
he would relinquish his
Tehiya seat in the Knps-
set, which he did Tues-
day.
The episode indicated the
urgency with which Burg,
now 74, is trying to revive
the NRP before the next
Druze Protest
Anchoring of U.S.
Ship Off Haifa
TEL AVIV (JTA) — The
U.S. Navy battleship New
Jersey, the only battleship
in the world now on active
duty, is spending a week an-
chored off Haifa port, to
allow its 2,500 crew mem-
bers seven days of rest and
shore recreation.
The Israel Druze commu-
nity appealed to the mayor
of Haifa to cancel ar-
rangements made for offi-
cial receptions for the offi-
cers and crew.
They complain that the
16-inch guns of the 45,000-
ton warship, which has been
stationed off Beirut for the
past three months, have
fired on and killed many in-
nocent Druze during bom-
bardments to protect
American Marines in Be-
irut and against anti-
Lebanese government
forces in the hills overlook-
ing Beirut.

Knesset elections. The
party lost half of its 12
Knesset seats in the 1981
elections and its mandates
were reduced to five when
Druckman quit last year.
Burg, a moderate, ap-
pears willing to negotiate
with hardliners like
Druckman and Porat if he
can leave his party in a
stronger condition when he
retires. He is also reportedly
in contact with the Tami
Party whose leader, Aharon
Abu-Hatzeira, and others
once belonged to the NRP.
