Don't boo gie in Henryetta Don't dance in Henryetta, Oklahoma if you want to stay within the law. A city ordinance in effect since 1957 outlaws public dancing in the town, but a local businessman claims the ban is unconstitutional. Ross Hullett is planning a public dance in Henryetta for Saturday. A group that wants to open a discotheque favors the dance and vows bigger and better dances are to come. Public dancing in Henryetta is a misdemeanor punishable by a $35 fine, although local police haven't decided whether or not they will enforce the ordinance. A lot of bull No one can say that Soenderjylland's Jens hasn't made the most of his 11-year existence. He has fathered 220,000 offspring in his career as Denmark's leading bull of the Danish black-and-white milking variety. But, alas, all good times must end, and Jens will meet his end at the Royal Veterinary and Agricultural High School in Copenhagen next week. His skeleton, however, will be set up as a monument at the school's Institute of Animal Husbandry. Onthe outside.. . . there will be some relief from the heat today as the mercury climbs only to the high sixties. Scattered showers and mostly cloudy skies are in store for most of the day. Lows tonight will be in the '50s. gamsi TEL AVIV, Israel (AP)-The Peace Now movement was born with hopes of nurturing the flicering flame of peace brought to this war-weary land by the leader of its equally tired Egyptian foe. In six months it has become a potential political force, despite government claims it is hampering negotiations with Egypt. As Menachem Begin packed to leave for the Mideast summit at Camp David, Md., almost 100,000 Peace Now suppor- ters packed a Tel Aviv square ap- pealing to the prime minister to be more flexible in his negotiations with Eyptian President Anwar Sadat. THE GRASS-ROOTS movement grew from seeds planted during Sadat's visit to Jerusalm last November. Three hundred Israeli war veterans-moved by fears that peace hopes born in the first-ever talks bet- ween the once implacable enemies were fading-sent a letter to Begin asking him to be more flexible in dealing with Egypt. "When Sadat came to Jerusalem, it was like a dream come true-never before did we believe peace was possible," says David Felder, a 27- year-old combat veteran who is Peace Now's spokesman. After Sadat's November 19 visit "we expected the peace to be signed within weeks or months, but nothing happened, something collapsed." Peace Now believes Begin's gover- nment annoyed Sadat by continuing to build Jewish settlements on captured Arab land and refusing to talk about withdrawal from the occupied West Bank of the Jordan River. HOW MUCH THE movement can sway Begin as he sits with Sadat and President Carter in the sheltered tranquility of Camp David remains to be seen. But the heated reaction to the movement from Begin's office is in it- self a barometer of Peace Now's strength. Since the veterans' appeal, the prime minister's supporters have accused Peace Now of undermining government policy at a critical juncture, of being a noisy minority, of being an arm of the opposition Labor Party, and of being personally hostile to Begin. A public controversy boiled, drawing followers into Peace Now's ranks. THE MOVEMENT kept up its pressure for compromise, choosing as its methods anything that would grab public attention-demonstrations, roadside petition booths, newspaper ads, and in one instance, a human chain along the side of the Tel Aviv- Jerusalem highway, passing a letter with 6,000 signatures to the door of Begin's Jerusalem office. Peace Now advocates no longer ex- pect peace tomorrow. "We want our government to come out with a declaration of intent that for peace we'll give back territory," says Shula Koenig, a 48-year-old engineer and Peace Now supporter. She is typical of the movement's backers-an educated Israeli who cares passionately about her country. Ms. Koenig wants to be sure "we'll consider Israel's security needs in their purest sense, and not in any mythical or historic perspective." She was referring to the proponents of a "greater Israel"-Begin among them-who believe the occupied West Bank and the Gaza Strip are parts of Jewish homeland of biblical times. nfluence HARRY HURWITZ, a South African- born newspaperman whom Begin hired to improve his image abroad, believes Peace Now's actions were "unfor- tunately timed." He says they weaken Israel at Camp David because "the overwhelming majority of Israelis support Begin's very serious peace efforts." As proof he points out that 92 of the 120 member Knesset, the Israeli Parliament, including the Labor Party opposition, endorsed the major elemen- ts of Begin's peace policy before he flew to Camp David last week. "There's always been an element that opposes the government," says Hurwitz. "Now this element has become more vocal, that's all. It's always the same people." PERHAPS THOSE "same people" have taken to the streets because they have no clout in Parliament. The Labor opposition would seem eligible to represent them, but while it was in power it was responsible for forming many of the policies, such as Jewish settlements, that Peace Now opposes. The reform-minded Democratic Movement for Change, which drew dramatic support in the May 1977 elec- tion that toppled the Labor govern- ment, has been shattered by internal rifts. That leaves only Begin or the communists and Peace Now avoids any association with the far left. "WE SHOWED the country that being a dove is not being a communist," says Peace Now's Orgad Vardimon,'a bearded theatre manager. "We are the pioneers in peace in Israel in 1978." Last month, 100 army veterans out- side the movement went a step further than Peace Now advocates. They wrote to Begin saying they would refuse to do reserve duty if they had to protect Jewish settlements in occupied territory. Peace Now sharply opposed that position. But there is little doubt the 100 veterans got the confidence to send their letter when they saw how suc- cessful Peace Now has been in the first six months of its existence. Movement leaders say they are helping Israelis overcome the psychological obstacles to making peace. Ms. Koenig said Israelis are tired of war and "understand that peace can never be more dangerous than war." "What the peace movement has done is helped all of us identify one another, those who feel we can start trusting the other side-knowing that peace you make with enemies, but peace you must make," she said.
