JERUSALEM
(JTA)—Energy Minister
Yitzhak Modai, a powerful
figure in Likud's Liberal
Party wing, has called for
the resignation of Premier
Menachem Begin's government unless it can.make
rapid and dramatic improvements in its decisionmaking processes, which,
Modai said, were in disarray.
He said he would "recommend this" to the Liberal
Party and that the Liberals
"might well be the one to initiate it."'Modai's remarks,
in an Army Radio interview,
came at a time when two
other key members of Begin's Cabinet, Finance Minister Yigal Hurwitz and Education Minister Zevuluh
Hammer, we're each
threatening to resign in a bitter dispute over a pay raise
for teachers. Should either of
them quit, observers said,
the Begin government would
be in too precarious a position to carry on.    '
Begin himself apparently
recognizes this. While his
slim Knesset majority may
survive no-confidence
challenges in the immediate
future even if Hurwitz or
Hammer leaves, it could not
do so indefinitely. Begin is
said to prefer an honorable
resignation  initiated  by
