Arms Sales
Continued from Page 1
an arms sale will be making
matters worse by pushing our
"overstrained democratic
ally" into a renewed arms
race.
Murphy responded that
"we cannot pick the time to
move in the peace process."
He said in 1984 and in 1985
there were no signals in the
Middle East that the coun-
tries wanted to proceed. Both
said that after the visit to
Washington by King Hussein
of Jordan and the speech 10
days later by Israeli Premier
Shimon Peres there was a
signal from both sides that
they wanted to move ahead.
"Israel has a full plate, Israel
always has a plate full,"
Murphy said. But he noted
that Israel is making pro-
gress on its economic prob-
lems, as a result of measures
taken by the Israeli Cabinet
on July 1. "If fully and vigor-
ously implemented, these
new measures will represent
an important step forward in
Israel's continuing effort to
stabilize its economy and re-
store growth and prosperity,"
Murphy said.
He said that the U.S. is
"not trying to steamroll" Is-
rael into the peace process
but that the Israelis now see
a chance to move toward
peace on their eastern front.
He said the Israelis are in-
terested even though at the
same time they may be
"skeptical" or even "cynical."
Murphy said that the U.S.
has not yet decided on the ar-
rangements for a meeting
with a joint Jordanian-
Palestinian delegation or on
the list of seven names sub-
mitted to it by Jordan. While
he would not disclose any of
the names, he added, "I think
some of the names are ac-
ceptable." Murphy stressed
again that the. U.S. meeting
with the Jordanian delega-
tion, which he would attend,
must lead to direct negotia-
tions with Israel.
He again repeated that un-
like Israel the U.S. accepts
that members of the Pales-
tine National Council are not
necessarily members of the
PLO. He said the U.S. has
met with such PNC members
both in the administered ter-
ritories and outside and while
these individuals may sup-
port the PLO that does not
mean they are members of
the PLO. "Let's not get hung
up on a definition war," Mur-
phy said.
However, he stressed the
U.S. is consulting "very
closely with Israel" although
the U.S. will make its own
approval of the Palestinian
members of the joint delega-
tion as well as to whether it
enters into a meeting with
the joint delegation. "We
want it to go toward direct
negotiations," Murphy reit-
erated.

Jerusalem — In the heart of the
Musrara quarter of Jerusalem
there is a collection of seemingly
tumbledown buildings which on
closer examination are carefully
preserved and renovated. Inside
are a series of workshops where
five days a week more than 200
old folks come to work.
Life Line for the Aged was
founded by Myriam Mendilow 22
years ago. She was so appalled by
negative attitudes towards older
people, that she gave up \ her
teaching position in order to find
some means of helping the old and
at the same time educating
children not to reject old people
but to appreciate and love them.
The first workshop was
established for book repairs and
binding. It regularly wins the
contract to repair the school
library books of Jerusalem, due to
its competitive prices, expert
workmanship and promptly
completed orders. Inside each
book a label is inserted — "Your
book has been repaired by the old
people ofJerusalem"— before it is
returned to the schools.
This connection with the
schools was the natural
introduction for children to come
and visit the book binding and
repair shop and see a group of
older people in a productive
environment. The children are
invited to write and draw about
their visit and their perception of
old people is often radically
changed by their visit to the
workshops.
The people who come to work at
Life Line represent many
different ethnic groups —
Moroccan, Yemenite, Russian,
Polish, European, American and
British. Christians and Arabs
living in Jerusalem are also part
of this mixture. They come
together each day to combat their
worst enemy, loneliness. One of
the aims of Life Line is to give
older people a reason for getting
up in the morning and a feeling
that they are needed and valued.
Many travel to the workshops on
the bus and this immediately
makes them feel part of society.
Everyone who works at Life
Line receives the same nominal
wage in recognition of their work
and reimbursement for their
travel expenses.
