NEW YORK IJCNSI -
President Ford pledged to an audience of about 3,000 people, mostly Jews, that there will be "no imposed solution and no one-sided concessions" in the Middle East, . that his administration will continue to support a strong Israel and that he would personally continue to raise "again and again" the issue of Soviet Jewry &i meetings with Soviet leaders.
Ford spoke outside the Joel Bravcrnian High School of the Ycshiva of Flatbush in the heart of the heavily Jewish-populated Midwood section of. Brooklyn,
Following his 10-minute address, the president. visited the Centre for Holocaust Studies at the Yeshiva . and conferred with a group of Jewish leaders inside the building. That meeting was closed to the press and there was no briefing given reporters afterwards, .
The crowd was polite but not notably enthusiastic and gave the president only moderate applause. Security measures were strict. Barriers surrounded the high school
building and heavy cpri-centrations of uniformed police were present in the I surrounding streets hours before Ford's^ motorcade : arrived,.
Thercwere no incidents but loud heckling, erupted during the president's brief address from members Of the Jewish Defense League and the Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry. JDLers carried signs reading "Ford Must Go" and
others demanding the dismissal of Secretairy of State Henry Kissinger and the preservation of Israel's hold on the occupied territories
The president declared that "Israel's strength enhances tiifc prospects of peace" in the Middle East and claimed that Israel's future is "brighter" now than before he became president. He referred to IsracH Premier Yitzhak
Rabin as "my personal friend" and cited recent remarks by Rabin that Israeli—U.S. relations have never been better.
He pledged that his administration will continue to support and fight for Israel at the United Nations and would oppose any attempt to oust Israel from the world organization.
Ford also pledged that the U.S. would fight inter-

WASHINGTON [JCNS] -
President Ford's recent authorization of ultramodern weapons for Israel which include concussion bombs and other highly-sophisticated equipment, has upset some members of the United iStates administration, who are concerned about an escalation in the Middle East arms race. Arab states, including Egypt, are reported to be furious.
Officially, officials of
the administration have not discussed the deal, but it is unlikely that the president's decision has pleased Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who is concerned at this time in using the goodwill he has built up among the Arabs in his efforts to resume the Geneva peace talks.
Coming as it does in the midst of the presidential election campa^ign, the decision is being regarded in some quarters as bielng
part of electioneering tactics.
But the White House has denied that the arms deal had anything to do with the presidential campaign.
nationalterrorism and referred to Israel's "heroic" rescue of hostages at Entebbe Airport in Uganda last July 3,
He re-affirmed his opposition to the Arab boycott, declaring. "I have ^not and will not tolerate'^ discrimination on religious grounds brought into American life. He referred to his order to the Depart-mtnt of Commerce to disclose the names of American companies that, in the future, comply with Arab boycott demands.
He described that order as "strong executive action against the boycott," He said his administration has been pressing for movement on the issue of the rights of Soviet Jews, noting that he had raised it at-his meeting with Soviet Communist Party Secretary Leonid Brezhnev and "1 will raise it again and again ... It is immoral for any nation to dominate the religious life of its citi^ zens."

JERUSALEM [JCNS] -
Relations between Premier Yitzhak Rabin arid the Defence Minister Shimon Peres, ne:ver exactly cordial, are again becoming strained. This is causing deep concern within the Israel Labor Party, to
Entebbe dispute
ROME [JCNS] —
The printing of the Italian edition of 90 Minutes at Entebbe — the
book by William Stevenson and Uri Dan about the dramatic rescue of Israelis from Uganda's airport — has run into difficulty here.
Employees of the Son-zpgno publishing house, which is affiliated to a group controlled by the Agnelli family, owners of the Fiat motor firm and who also own Bantam Books which published the English version of the book, stopped work for one day. They did so to protest that the book was "intolerably biased and pro-Zionist to the point of racism."
The Communist newspaper Manifesto, printed a comment byan official of the publishing firm which said that the publication of the Entebbe book "openly clashes with.the; conscience of those producing it."
which both men belong.
Top party members are apprehensive that the feud between the two men may not only affect the smooth functioning of the government .but influence their decisions and actions in important national spheres like security and foreign policy.
Peres is highly offended by Rabin's failure to tell him in advance that President Ford had finally agreed to grant Israel's arms requests. The first that Peres heard about it was last Sunday, when Rabin informed the whole cabinet at its regular meeting, . The defence minister is also angry at what he regards as Rabin's efforts to take all the credit for President Ford's agreement to supply the arms.
The two are also at odds. over recent disturbances in Hebron, The premier said in a newspaper interview that there had been "omissions" in Israeli policy in the occupied territories. Peres took this as implied criticism of himself, since he is the minister responsible for them. ■. .
In a TV interview, he. said that all actions in the territories, "express the will" of the whole cabinet and were not the outcome of "personal policy." He had informed Rabin in advance of all steps he intended to take in Hebron. Peres added.
Just the same. Rabin
has told thecabinetthat he is "determined to increase my involvement and that of the cabinet in the handling of affairs in the occupied territories,"
Peres said he had nothing againsf greater government involvement in day-to-day matters in the occupied territories even though these have been his sole responsibility up until now. General policy guidelines have been laid down by the cabinet.
The view of Peres supporters, however, is that the premier's statement and the spirit in which it was made, were a deliberate provocation.

the refillable pop bottle
The renilable popbottieL
Remember.the days v/hen all pop bottles vyrere returnable and refillable? Your Ontario Minisfry of the Environment wants to bring those days back, because there were a lot of advantages.to the refillables.
Their re-use saved energy and row materials involved in bottle manufacture. And, more important, people returned refillable bottles. So they didn't become the litter and garbage disposal problem that throwawcty bottles and cans are causing today.
On October 1,1976 a new law went into effect. If says that within six months, retail vendors wall be required to stock and display in refillable bottles any size, flavour and brand of soft • ; drink they offer in non-refillable bottles.
In other vrords they have to of fer you a choice. Italso requires that retailers.selling soft drinks in refillable bottles must now accept and rehmd cash dejxisi'ts of at least 10# on small sizes and 20^ on large sizes. And the amounts of these depiosits myjst be shown separately from the achiol price of the pop.
.Your Ministry of the Environment thinks that a rehirn to refillable bottles vnll save energy, help alleviate gotrbage , disposal problems, and reduce the number
of landfill sites. It ynll be a step toward Hon Gecxge A. Kerr, QC . M.n.ster
