WASHINGTON (WNS) -
The . Carter Administration
stepped up last week its ef¬
forts to win the support of the
Jewish community for its
Middle East peace program,
efforts highlighted by / a
lengthy meeting of Secre¬
tary of State Vance on Oc]t.
26 with' 80 Jewish leaders
here at Vance's invitation.
One of the goals is to ease
the growing uneasiness and
opposition among American
Jews about the administra¬
tion's approaches toward re¬
convening the Geneva Mid¬
east conference on terms
that appear to Jews as
threatening to Israel's secur¬
ity, specifically fears that
the U.S. is determined to re¬
cognize; the Palestine Liber¬
ation Organization and ac¬
cepting a PLO role in the
Geneva talks, toward ac¬
ceptance   Of   a   PLO-con-
hoped to find any wavering
among the Jewish leaders,
Rabbi Alexander Schindler,
chairman of the Conference
of Presidents , of Major
American Jewish Organiza¬
tions, set the record straight
after the session, ..He said
.'■The Jewish community ex¬
pressed its concern; its
frustration, its anger. This
was a voice that came not
only from the national lead¬
ership but also from the
grass roots, from the heads
of every community repre¬
sented."
In Israel, an editorial in
Maariv on the same day said
the meetings here had a
three-purpose aim: to split
American Jewry and Israel
if a U.S.-Israel confrontation
becomes inevitable; to try to
split American Jewry to pre¬
vent unified support of
Israel; and to try tp save

WASHINGTON, (JTA) -
A series of denials was is- •
sued here Oct. 25 in connec¬
tion with an article in "Roll¬
ing Stone" magazine alleg¬
ing that Israel has been
systematically stealing
uranium from Western
stockpiles to produce an ar¬
senal of nuclear bombs'
I State Department spokes¬
man John Trattner told re¬
porters, "We don't have a
thing" on the story and noted
that it was "denied" by the
Israeli Embassy. An Em¬
bassy spokesman, said
earlier that Israel has never
stolen or secretly purchased
enriched uranium "either in
the United States or any¬
where else in the world,"
"Rolling. Stone" associate
editor Howard Kohn and
Barbara Newrtian, a
Washington correspondent
for NationalRepublic Radio,
who co-authored the article,
said at a press conference;
that the account of the hi¬
jackings of four European
uranium •', shipments by.
Israeli commandos was
based on information from
two U.S. officials and two
former U.S. officials.
The article claimed that
former Presidents Lyndon
B. Johnson and Gerald R.
Ford knew smuggling was
taking place at the,nuclear
plant in Pennsylvania but
^directed that no investiga¬
tion be made.   ;
A spokesman for Ford said
Oct. 25 that "the President
'was briefed as to a possible
diversion of some uranium"
but "it Was not so conclusive
to be considered a hard type
of evidence." A spokesman
for British Nuclear Fuels
Ltd., said "the story is ab¬
solute nonsense."

said they never heard of any'
