(See story p. 3.) i Autonomy Talks Continue JERUSALEM (JTA)—The autonomy talks continued at the top negotiating level Jan. 31 in an effort to find some way to bridge the wide gap between the Israeli-ane?Bg*pWan positions on the nature of autonomy for the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Interior Minister Yosef Burg, head of the Israeli ministerial ^negotiating team, his Egyptian counterpart, Prime Minister Mutapha Khalil and U.S. Special Ambassador Sol Linowitz conferred privately for nearly two hours in the Herzliya hotel, where the talks were held. The gap that separates the Israeli and Egyptian views is one of fundamentals rather than details. The Egyptians insist on the broadest powers of self-government defined by legislative, executive and judicial authority. The Israelis are prepared to give the Palestinians only the most limited administrative control over local matters and public services. American sources accompanying-^Linowitz predicted no dramatic breakthrough in this round of talks. They said the President's envoy was not discouraged by the wide gulf between the two sides and felt, that now that each has "put its cards on the table," the painstaking process of practical negotiations could finally begin. American and Israeli sources indicated that Linowitz will try to speed up thetempo of the autonomy talks in the weeks ahead and that he will seek more top level sessions and more meetings of the working groups on specific issues. Linowitz has also stressed the necessity to bring representatives of the Palestinians into the negotiating process. (By David Landau and Yitzhak Shargil.) Germany Bans Neo-Nazi Group ' BONN (JTA)—A neo-Nazi paramilitary organization active in south Germany was banned by the government recently as unconstitutional after a police raid on its headquarters yielded a quantity of military equipment and propaganda material. Interior Minister Gerhart Baum said the group, known as the "Wehrsportsgruppe," masqueraded as a sports organization while it planned to overthrow the democratic system by force.' The "Wehrsportsgruppe," said to have 400 members, was described as the largest neo-Nazi militant organization in West Germany. According to Baum, its self-styled "fuehrer," 42-year-old Karl-Heinz Hoffmann, hoped to achieve Nazi goals. The organization was founded seven years ago and was active among youth in Bavaria and Baden-Wuerttemberg. (By David Kantor.) .

A v <CONTINUED.ON PAGE 3) By Rochelle Saidel Wolk NEW YORK (JTA)-Pres- ideht Carter reaffirmed the "moral and strategic" value of close U.S.-Israel ties and said he was committed to "an undivided Jerusalem" and opposed to a Palestinian state in response to questions submitted to him and seven other Presidential candidates by the magazine "Jewish Living." The questionnaire was compiled by the editors of the bi-monthly and by Rabbis Abraham Cooper and Daniel Landes of the Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies at Yeshiva University in Los Angeles. The replies appear in the January-February issue. ' The questionnaire covered a wide range of subjects, including affirmative action, state aid to parochial schools, and Soviet Jewry. But the focused primarily on the Middle East. Neither Carter nor those seeking to replace him in the White House responded directly to the entire questionnaire. . .They sent, the magazinesup- plementary statements and prepared texts.. Carter said he "will work diligently to bring us still closer to Israel because close U.S.-Israel ties are in the moral and strategic interest of both our nations." While asserting his commitment to "an undivided Jerusalem," he did not indicate whether -this meant Jerusalem should be Israel's capital or if it should belong to Israel. - -*** On a Palestinian state, he reiterated .what he has stated .on previous occasions—that such a state would be "a destabilizing factor in the Middle East and would hot serve the interests of the United States." Sen. Edward Kennedy also advocated close U.S. ties in his statement to "Jewish Living."' Kennedy obsenved that "The security of Israel is indispensable to the security of the United States." "We. cannot and must not trade the security of Israel for a barrel of oil" and called for $350 million more in economic assistance to Israel in the coming fiscal year. Of the eight Presidential hopefuls queried, only former Texas Gov. Johh Con- nally expressed' viewpoints not calculated to appeal to Jewish voters. Connally replied to the questionnaire by submitting the text of the controversial address he delivered at the Washington Press Clubi last fall, which infuriated Jews by linking a Solution of. the Palestinian problem to Americans need for an assured oil supply from the Middle East. Connally said, "Except for minor border rectifications," Israel must withdraw from the West Bank,; Gaza and the Golan Heights, all of which would be demilitarized.

On the question of moving the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, _ he said he does not presently support such a move but could see it as part of a future "larger set of actions." Discussing arms sales, Anderson said that weapons' should be sold to Middle East countries "only if there is a compelling military requirement consistent with our own national security interest." He added that Israel's ability "to maintain the regional military balance" must be considered. 'Of the eight Presidential hopefuls queried, only former Texas Gov.

Six others either answered "no" or said the United States should not negotiate with the PLO unless it recognizes Israel's right to exist. The six are Rep. John Anderson (R.Ill.); Sen. Howard Baker (R.Te*nn.); Gov.

On the matter of arms sales, Baker said his decision would be based on "the degree of commonality of interest between the United States and the recipient .country and whether the sale will enhance or degrade the stability of the region.'' Brown mentioned the relationship between energy and the United States' role in the Middle East.
