1IN BRIEF I Right in Your Own Driveway! New U.S. Envoy To Israel Named WOLF BLITZER Special to the Jewish News W ashington — Bill Brown, the current U.S. Ambassador to Thailand, is expected to be named to succeed Thomas Pickering as the next Am- bassador to Israel, according to State Department officials. Brown, a former charge d'affaires at the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv under Am- bassador Samuel Lewis, is a respected career foreign ser- vice officer who last year was recalled to Washington by Secretary of State George Shultz to undertake an inter- nal State Department in- vestigation into the security situation at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. Pickering is expected to be named Undersecretary of State for Management. The changes would take place next summer. U.S. Deplores Deportations Washington (JTA) — The State Department on Tues- day termed Israel's deporta- tions of Palestinians a viola- tion of international law. "We consider them a viola- tion of that Fourth Geneva Convention," Redman said, referring to the 1949 treaty setting international stan- dards for treating civilians in occupied areas. The State Department has previously taken that posi- tion. In its February 1987 report on human rights prac- tices, it stated, "The United States holds the view that Israel is an occupying power in these territories and, therefore, that its administra- tion is subject to The Hague regulations of 1907 and the 1949 Fourth Geneva Conven- tion concerning the protec- tion of civilian populations under military occupation." Reacting to Tuesday's kill- ing of a Palestinian in the Gaza Strip by Israeli soldiers, Redman said the United States "deeply regrets" the incident. In a separate development, White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater announced that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak would meet with President Reagan in Washington on Jan. 28. Mubarak, who last visited the United States in September 1985, will arrive in the United States Jan. 26 and will leave Jan. 30. The White House official said the main topic of discus- sion will likely be regional ones, including the Middle East peace process and the Iran-Iraq war. The meeting has been "in the works" for a long time, and is not related to the recent violence in the territories, he said. Anne Pollard Seeks Release Washington (JTA) — Law- yers for Anne Henderson Pollard last week filed suit with the U.S. Court of Ap- peals in Washington in an at- tempt to reverse federal district court Judge Aubrey Robinson's ruling denying Pollard medical treatment by her family doctors. Pollard, who claims to be suffering from various digestive disorders, is serving a five-year prison sentence for being an "accessory" to a scheme in which her hus- band, Jonathan Pollard, a former U.S. Navy intelligence analyst, passed classified documents to a renegade Israeli espionage team. The lawsuit also seeks a reduction of Anne Pollard's sentence on humanitarian grounds. Bernard Henderson, Anne Pollard's father, said that she has been moved from the in- firmary to a jail unit designed to handle the overload of street criminals from Mor- gan, W. Va. Henderson said he was able to visit his daughter for several hours on three days in the past week. 1TfABLE I THE TUNE , -UP MAN For those who want- the finest custom furniture at...
