I TEL AVIV (WNS) - As
grassroots support and opposition for Premier Menachem Begin's peace plan increased the debate on the
issues intensified here.' The
Labor Party Bureau rejected proposals that it join a
government of national unity
under Begin declaring that
such a government wasnot a
substitute for correct policy.
Labor said the government
under Herut leadership was
operating in a manner that
was endangering Israel.
Labor said what is needed is
a government led by it that
could lead to peace." To do so,
Labor argued, it must proceed along the policies of the
previous Labor government,
based on United Nations
Security Coupcil Resolution
242 which, in principle, calls
for peace within defendable
borders agreed upon through
negotiations. Begin's peace
plan won the endorsement of
the Democratic Movement
for Change (DMC), a mem-
l -ber-pf the government coali-
" tion,"Deputy "PWmier Yigal
Yadin, the DMC leader,
strongly implied that U.S.
mediation efforts were mis
leading Israel as to Egypt's
true intentions. "As long as
there are direct talks, there
is a chance" for a settlement, Yadin said.  .-■'■!'
Meanwhile,; Finance
Minister Simcha Ehrlich,
addressing a meeting of
Likud's Liberal Party wing,
denounced the peace rally
attended by some 25,000 persons Apr. 1 as appearing to
be a military "putsch." He
objected to the use of the
term "officers for peace" by
the group of1 300 reserve officers who sponsored the
rally. "Anti-government demonstrations do not help the
cause of peace,'.' he said.
"The need to revert to military terms is deplorable and
carries the stench of a
putsch."" But • Foreign
Minister Moshe Dayan said
he was "impressed" by the
large turnout for the peace

United Nations Secretary
General Kurt Waldheim that
Israeli forces will withdraw
from south Lebanon according'to a two-stage timetable

between Defense Minister
Ezer Weizman and Gen.
Ensio S,iilasvuo. supreme
commander of UN forces in
the Middle East.
His response implied that
there would be no change in
Israel's withdrawal program, notwithstanding "

'Israel: The Land-The People" To Be At Expo
Holocaust Series To Be 4 Consecutive Nites
U'
(■
"Holocaust," an original
nine and one-half . hour
dramatization, will be telecast on WCMH-TV (Channel
4) over four consecutive
nights, Sunday, Apr. 16,
through Wednesday, Apr. 19.
"We are particularly concerned," said Marvin L.
Glassman, Chairman of the
Community Relations Committee of the Columbus
Jewish Federation, "that
every member of the Jewish
Community, as well as the
bulk of the non-Jewish Community, watch what we have
been assured is one of the
most effective television pro-
' grams in history. Every
national Jewish agency is
cooperating in bringing the
message to the community,
and the Community Relations Committee of the Co-
1 lumbus Jewish Federation
urges that everyone'within
access, of a Television set
make plans to watch this
dramatization."
Marvin Glassman
The series will be telecast
on Sunday, Apr. 16, from 8 to
11 p.m., on Monday and
Tuesday Apr. 17 and 18, from
9 to 11 p.m. and on Wednesday, Apr. 19, from 8:30 until
11. It is a story of two German families "that are significantly affected by Nazi
policies. A Jewish family,
the Weiss family, and a-
Christian family, the Dorfs,
are both dealt with as their
fortunes rise and fall under
the Nazi plans for the "final
solution" of Europe's Jews.
"This is the first time that
television has seen fit to deal
with the Holocaust in such a
.complete manner" said
Hersh L. Adlerstein, director
of the Community Relations
Committee of the Columbus'
Jewish Federation.'"While
there have been previous
television programs dealing
with the Holocaust, none
have been'detailed or of such
quality. Nor have any of
them been given'the kind of
treatment which this program is giving to the way in
which six million Jews were
murdered by Nazi Germany.
Every American must see
this program, and must understand why the Holocaust
happened i and why Jews
today are firmly convinced
that everything possible
must be done to make sure
that there can be no future
Holocaust, for Jews or for
anyone else."
