Strauss Seen Emerging Stronger Than Ever
Continued from Page J
up to the Araba who bad
(jected the negotiating process
come to Israel and Egypt in
: negotiating effort rather than
! other way around, as some in
shington wanted.
THIS setting, Vice Pres-
Walter Mondale, Secretary
State Cyrus Vance and
itional Security Advisor Zbig-
Brzezinski joined Strauss in
ephoning Carter, who was
lising on the Mississippi River,
>ir "unanimous" recom-
pndation that the U.S. drop its
cmpt to introduce its own
>lution in the Security
lundL
Then it was Strauss who went
national television to explain
new U.S. position to the
lerican people and the world
ie media and to caution the
curity Council that it should
Btpone again its session
Jing with the Palestinians.
|n addition, it was Strauss who
it straight that the PLO had
\t to recognize Israel's right to
Bt within the meaning of
curity Council Resolution 242
lore the U.S. would deal with
|t terrorist force.
ALSO was Strauss who
spoke out for the Adminis-
tion against the leaders of the
jthern Christian Leadership
iference who courted the PLO
nd scored Israel and the Amer-
ican Jewish community.
Among the circumstances
evidencing the sad disarray of the
U.S. Middle East policy before
the Strauss ideas took hold at the
White House is that lame-duck
Ambassador Andrew Young
chaired the UN debate as the
Council's President while con-
tinuing as the chief U.S. repre-
sentative at the UN until his
successor is named.
Much of the responsibility for
the disarray points directly at the
White House and Carter himself.
The Administration's actions
both before and after the Young
resignation indicate the depth of
the President's personal par-
ticipation.
ON THE point of U.S. leader-
ship in the negotiations, Carter
had named Strauss with
authority to act for him. But he
demanded Strauss take the ill-
fated resolution idea to Cairo and
Jerusalem.
While White House sources
now say this was a relatively mild
U.S. resolution that could block a
tougher Arab-initiated action,
others saw the Carter proposal as
one more step towards estab-
lishing Palestinian domination
over the West Bank and Gaza
Strip and causing Israel to with-
draw from those areas and East
Jerusalem in line with the Presi-
dent's view, as he expressed in
Clinton, Mass., in the third
month of his Presidency.
But this proposal which
Strauss had fought, boomer-
anged, and Strauss came back
with demands for change
because, observers say, he saw
that such a proposal would
undercut Israel's opposition to
the PLO and would therefore
cause Israel to repudiate the
Camp David commitments and
thus possibly affect the return of
Sinai to Kgypt.
STILL undetermined is who
made the "suggestion" to Young
that he meet with the PLO UN
observer Zehadi Labib Terzi in
New York July 26. Terzi himself
now says that he firmly believes
Young came to meet him only
after getting permission from
Washington.
"Nobody believed for a
minute," Terzi said, "that Young
was acting on his own." Terzi
pointed out ambassadors do not
engage in impulse buying, and
"the United Nations is not a
boutique."
While the State Department
acknowledges that information it
received July 30, four days after
Young's meeting with Terzi
included a "suggestion" that
Young meet the PLO represen-
tative, this was not agreed upon.
But the Carter Administration
continues to be silent on who
made the "suggestions."
ANOTHER major factor in the
suspicions that more than Young
was involved in his actions is that
U.S. Ambassador to Austria,
Milton Wolf, met three times
with PLO officials in Vienna and
all that the State Department did
was to "remind" him of the U.S.
policy not to talk to the PLO.
Wolf was described as on
intimate terms with Austrian
Chancellor Bruno Kreisky who
entertained PLO chief Yasir
Arafat in Vienna and endorsed
Ins views.
Meanwhile, Republican
Presidential candidate George
Bush called on Carter to clarify
Ins Administration's position on
the Middle East to help "soothe a
growing domestic discord."
IN A statement issued at his
campaign headquarters here,
Bush said "Ambassador Andrew
Young's resignation from his
post as the chief U.S. represen-
tative at the United Nations has
created a furor" that "is one more
example of the inconsistency and
incoherence that characterizes
the Carter Administration policy

Ask Abe
By Abe Halpern
[Addenda: Regarding the question submitted by
[Pauline Krumper of Hallandale. "Does one have
|to be Jewish to be a Zionist?" (Jewish Floridian
and Shofar, Jan. 26, 1979, p.15 and Feb. 9,1979,
i>15.)
Answer:
I am pleased to share part of a letter which I
?received from Mrs. Anne W. Rosenthal of Holly-
wood. She and her husband are well-known for
work in ZOA. She is a past president of
ladassah, is on the National Speakers Bureau
nd at present Mr. and Mrs. Rosenthal are on the
ational executive committee of the ZOA.
Her letter contains a list of additional non-
pewish Zionists. Some of those on her list are:
 George Eliot, the English writer published
[>er famous novel Daniel Deronda in 1876 in which
d^cribed a Jewish Palestine and a return to
Biblical life. She was so interested in the return of
Ihe Jews to the land of their ancestors that she
Paved the way for Zionism, and her novel was
Ktually a literary preparation for the Balfour
Jeclaration.
 Jean Henri Dunant, a French-Swiss states-
an and philanthropist, founder of the Red Cross
nd the first recipient of the Nobel Prize in 1901.
ie published a manifesto calling for the Jewish
lonization of Palestine. He was also a par-
icipant at the First Zionist Congress in Basle in
|o97.
 Rev. William Blackstone, a Protestant
QiS^fr' wa8 another ear,y Christian Zionist. In
*1 he presented a petition to President Ben-
n Harrison which was signed by several other
nnstians urging the President to use his in
uence with various governments in Europe to
insider the claims of the Jewish people to their
"ient homeland. He pleaded that their suffering
alleviated. He was then a man of 50 and eon-
ued to press his case even at the age of 75 when
again appealed to President Woodrow Wilaon
1316 to secure a home for the Jew and their
"tical security in Palestine.
 Pierre Van Paassen, a Dutch clergyman and
famous author. He came to this country to speak
for the Zionist Organization of America and for
Hadassah.
 The Rev. Dr. Carl Voss, a New York City
minister, was truly dedicated to the proposition
that there was no other place for our people than
Palestine
I wish to express my thanks and appreciation
to Mrs. Rosenthal. Letters from readers are a
constant source of encouragement. Please keep
them coming.
Beg Pardon!
In the answer to the question submitted by
Mortie Gellis of Hallandale, Is there a special sig-
nificance to the fact that the Decologue begins
with an Aleph (the fust letter of the Hebrew
alphabet), and the Torah begins with a Bet (the
second letter of the Hebrew alphabet), a type-
setting error occurred. {Jewish Floridian and
Shofar, Aug. 24, 1979. p. 11.) Several phrases were
omitted which completely distorted the meaning
of the paragraph making it difficult to understand
the answer.
I regret the error. Following is the paragraph as
it should have appeared:
The next letter Shin stepped forward and
entreated God to use the letter Shin to create the
world since God's name Shaddai also begins with
a Shin. Unfortunately however, the Shin is also
the first letter of Shav, lie, and of Sheker, false-
hood, and that incapacitated it. The letter Resh
had no better luck. It was pointed oat that it was
the initial letter of Ra, wicked and Rasha, evil.

union rights by Arab workers in
the occupied territories is en-
countering many difficulties in
view of the pressures exerted by
the occupation authorities,"
Ahmed said.
AS THE Egyptian started to
speak, the delegates of the Arab
rejectionist states walked out in a
gesture of protest against
Egypt's peace treaty with Israel.
Earlier, the Iraqi Labor Minister
read out a memorandum sub-
mitted by the Arab labor
ministers demanding that the
UN agency reexamine Israel's
membership in the organization.
Following a point of order by
the Israeli Ambassador to the
UN in Geneva, Yoel Barromi, the
chairman ruled that the
memorandum could not be ac-
cepted as a proposal, only as a
speech. No agenda items directed
against Israel had been filed in
advance of the ILO meeting.
Saad, referring to the condition
of Arab workers in the Israel-
administered territories, said, "I*
is very clear that this is an issue
of occupation and unless this
hsue is solved and Israel with-
draws from the occupied Arab
territories and enables the
Palestinians to enjoy self-
determination, this problem will
continue to threaten world peace
and security in the Middle East."
Saad said, "The recent peace
initiatives were a step in the right
direction toward restoring their
rights to the people to whom they
are due"
in the Middle East."
Continuing, the statement
said: "Despite an incident that
exacerbated an already strained
relationship with Israel a
valued friend and strategic ally
 and raised tension between the
Black and Jewish communities in
the United States, President
Carter has yet to issue a state-
ment which clarifies his Adminis-
tration's position in this matter
and soothe a growing domestic
discord."
It also urged Carter to clarify
the U.S. commitment to Israel
"for the sake of our own people,
the people of Israel and all those
who are seeking peace."
