.DEMONSTRATING in Jenisalem against malting major concessions to Syria, Israelis jeered and booed when Dr. Henry Kissinger, the American Secretary of State, arrived from Damascus at the Prime Minister's Office to discuss Syria's replies to Israel's disengagement proposals. AS a comment of their thinking on the possible outcome of Israeli concessions, they carried placards with the slogans: 'Tirst Kuneitra, then Jerusalem" and **No Vietnam-lype peace". Other i^cards read: "Kissinger, you'll need a refuge when they call you Jew boy."

LONDON — Should Itzhak Rabin succeed in forming a {government he will be Israel's first native-born Prime Minister and her youngest ever. ^
Blue-eyed, ginger-haired and softly spoken, this handsome, broad-shouldered ex-soldier and ex-diplomat gives at first sight the impression of a reticent, shy and rather retiring man.
Yet, he has been in the forefront of Israel's military and political struggles throughout her existence, having entered the fighting ranks even before the State came into being.
His quiet manner hides not only a sharp, incisive analytical mind but also a direct bluntness, typical of the sabra but unusual in a diplomat, as well as personal ambition which goes with active politics.
Born in Jerusalem 52 yeai's ago, he is the son of warrior parents. ■ ■ u
His father, Nehemiah Itabin, was an American Jew who volunteered during the First World War for service with the British sponsored Jewish Legion in Palestine and remained there.
His mother, whom Itzhak adored, was of Russian-Jewish stock. She, too, was a fighter. As the legendary "nurse Rosa" she encouraged Jewish resistance during the Arab riots of 1920 and smuggled arms to the Jewish

self-defence units.
A brilliant pupil of Kadoorie Agricultural High School in Tel Aviv — and recipient of a prize from the British High Commissioner — young Itzhak became too involved with the Hagana to pursue a scholarly career mapped out for him.
It was Yigal Allon himself who recruited Rabin for Hagana's striking force, Palmach.
At the age of 18, Rabin was with the commando unit which in 1940 raided Vichy-controlled Syria on behalf of the British Army, an action in which Moshe Dayan lost an eye.
When the War of Independence broke out Rabin was in command of the famous Harel Brigade and took part in its bloody battles in and around Jerusalem. Soon afterwards he was asked by Allon' commander of the E^ptian front, to become his (H>eratipii^ officer.
Many of the leadfift coih-^ manders of Palmach (including Allon and Galili) resigned in protest at Ben-Gurion's order to liquidate the Palmach as a separate unit, but Rabin, though he protested, stayed on in the unified army.
Rayan, like Dayan, held the post of Chief of Staff for four years (one year more than the usual term of duty).
Whatever may be the truth of his alleged breakdown for 36 hours in May» 1967, it must be acknow- . ledged that the greatest military triumph in Israel's history was due to the methodical proration (rf her forces by Rabin.
It was he who presided over the complete modernization of the armed forces before the Six-Day War and over the preparation of the basic plans which were only slightly modified by his deputy, General Barlev, and Defence Minister, Moshe Dayan (to whom more of the credit than was his due was attributed at the time).
Rabin proved equally successful in his first civiUan assignment, as Ambassador * to the United States, which also lasted four years (from January, 1968),
Thcqgh he often spoke out bluntly about disagreements with Washington — whenever there was -a danger of American readiness to make too farrreaehing concessions fo Russian or Arab ^essure — he ultimately sucr ceeded in forging a de facto alliance between Israel and the world's most powerfiil State.
Rabin ccmsidered himself not so much a representative of the Foreign Ministry (which he by and large ignored) but as the direct emissary of Premier Golda Meir.
Though his assumed special status annoyed Foreign Minister Abba Eban, Golda was sufficiently satisfied with Rabin's achievement to keep him in Washingtmi for much longer than was originally envisaged.
He joined the Government (as Minister of Labor) after the Dec-, ember elections; having headed the drive for a national loan . during tlie Yom Kippur War. JCNS.
KINNEDY MEETS WITH SOVIET JEWS
Itzhak Rabin-biilliaiit soldiei, di
LONDON — A group of nine leading Soviet Jewish scientists told Senator Edward Kennedy that Moscow Jews rejected the idea recently voiced by Dr. ' Henry Kissinger, the American Secretary of State, that the expression of Western public (^iition on.the-emigration issue would make matters worse.
"Oh the contrary," the scientists said, "we feel that only the clear expression of opinimi and demands for our free emigration will help us."
Senator Kennedy met the scientists at tKe Moscow apartment of Professor Alexander Lemer during his recent visit to the Soviet Union to discuss their complaints that they /had only met opposition and harassment after submitting their applications to emigrate to Israel.
All have been dismissed from their posts^
The meeting < was attended by an official of the KGB (the Soviet security police) who was a member th Senator Kennedy's bodyguard, but this did not inhibit the discussion.
Professor Lemer and his colleagues rejected the official explanation giyfen to Senator Kennedy by the Soviet authorities that "only people with access to' classified information are denied permission to "emigrate."
They quoted the example of Mr. and Mrs. Panov, the former Leningrad Kirov Ballet dancers, . in support of their rejection of the Soviet explanation.
The Soviet authorities refused to allow the Panovs to emigrate for about 18 months after they were dismissed from the ballet. Then they woiild only allow Valery Panov to go and later threatened him with penalties if he did not go without his wife. This he refuses to do.)
Professor Lemer also pointed out to Senator Kenhedy that people refused permission to emigrate were denied any benefit of legal appeal.
Senator Kennedy agreed that only a clear expression of opinion and demands for their free emigration" would help the scientists and othier people similarly placed.
He added that he supported the Jackson amendment in the United States Congress "while
the present difficult situation o Soviet Jews continues."
(Senator Henry Jackson' amendment_seeks to deny "mos favored nation" treatment of th Soviet Union in trade matter by the Unifed States until Mosco allows free emigration.)
With Professor Lemer wer Dr. Vladimir Slepak, Dr. Victo Polsky, Dr. Alexander Lunts, D Vitaly Rubin, academician Ben jamin Levich, Professor Alex ander Voronel, Dr. Victor Feier mark and Dr. Koslovsky.
