The Southern Israelite The Weekly Newspaper For Southern Jewry Our 54th Year VOL. LIV Atlanta, Georgia, Friday, July 21, 1978 NO. 2<?? Good vibe: from Leeds* by Jack Redaction and wire service reports Good vibes from the meeting at Leeds Castle in England. After only two days of talks between Egypt and Israel, Secretary of State Cyrus Vance was encouraged Wednesday to report that ???Egypt and Israel remain fully committed to establishing a genuine peace.?????? Vance also indicated that he ???anticipates and expects??? another round of talks in August. Several sources speculated that the next meeting will be held at the summer home of Anwar Sadat in Alexandria. The Middle East peace talks got off to a difficult start in England on Tuesday, as Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan, Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohammed Kaamel and U.S. Secretary of State Cyras Vane* opened two ditys of tatics at a medieval cattle 35 miles south of London, aimed at renewing the full scale negotiations between Israel and Egypt that were suspended last January. The peace proposals of Israel and Egypt are on the table, neither acceptable to the other. After a 3'A hour morning session, the spokesman for the Egyptian party, Hamdi Nada, seemed gloomiest. He told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that Israel???s proposal of limited autonomy for the West Bank and Gaza Strip was unacceptable because it represented a denial of the right of the Palestinian people to self- determination and would perpetuate Israel???s military occupation of the territories in violation of Security Council Resolution 242. ???Our own proposals are on the table and we are waiting for Israel???s response,??? the Egyptian said. But, he added, there was nothing positive about Dayan???s attitude toward the Egyptian suggestion that the West Bank and Gaza Strip be turned over to Jordanian and Egyptian control respectively while negotiations proceed on security arrangements and guarantees and on the future status of both territories. Naftalie La vie, spokesman for the Israeli delegation, seemed more conciliatory, though he hardly exuded optimism. He said the Egyptians had presented their position in a ???sincere and intelligent manner.??? Justice, Soviet style Protests concerning the Shcharansky case continued to mount throughout the country. In Washington, Shcharansky's wife, Avital, strongly opposed ???private diplomacy??? as the means to seek alleviation of the plight of Soviet dissidents and Soviet Jewry and supported President Carter???s intercession on her imprisoned husband's behalf. Mrs. Shcharansky witnessed testimony from Jeremy J. Stone, a Princeton University professor who is director of the Federation of American Scientists, before the House Science and Technology Committee. Stone said the U.S. government should attempt to secure the release of some leading Soviet dissidents like Uri Orlov, Alexander Ginzburg and Anatoly Shcharansky ???through private diplomacy." Stone advocated ???limits of responsible activism??? in the human rights area and said it is ???not good??? for the U.S. to help ???individuals.??? He said he hoped Carter would not ???again associate himself with an individual case.??? Responding to Stone???s claim that ???threats" will not stop the Russians ???being Russian" or ???permit all Jews who wish to leave to do so,??? Mrs. Shcharansky looked directly at Stone across the witness table and told him his words reminded her of what was said 40 years ago during the Nazi period. People said then, she declared, speaking in Russian, that ???Nazis will be Nazis??? and individuals in Germany who protested disappeared. She said similar discussions were held then and that ???President Roosevelt said, leave me alone about these personal cases. I am fighting fascism in general.??? SPIRIT OF MOSCOW""??? Rabbi Simcha Freedman of Temple Adath Yeshurun in North Miami Beach is symbolically imprisoned to protest the trial and imprisonment of Soviet dissident Anatoly Shacharanksy. Mrs. Shcharansky is angry NEW YORK???Seventy Soviet activists have signed a bitter protest at the conditions suffered by scientist Grigory Goldshtein who is en route to a hard labor camp in Archangel where he will serve a year convicted on charges of parasitism. His brother Isai and their mother Malka saw Grigory at a transit prison in Riazan about 125 miles south east of Moscow some 60 days after his conviction. ???I was absolutely shattered,??? Isai told a friend. ???Grigory was filthy, covered with lice and looked quite terrible. I spoke to him through a glass barrier and he told me that he was on starvation rations and he still has another 600 miles and at least two more stops to go.??? Cincinnati, Ohio 45220
