Canal Reopening
Might be Used
For Attack
TEL AVIV (WNS) - The
possibility that Egypt may
use the reopening of the
Suez Canal on June 5 as a
pretext for military action in
the Sinai aimed at driving
Israeli forces beyond artil-
lery range of the waterway
is concerning Israeli political
and military officials. They
note that Arab military
commentators fcave pre-
dicted that President Anwar
Sadat may send as many as
five divisions across the
Canal before it is officially
reopened for commercial'
shipping. Sadat would at-
tempt to justify his move by
the need to protect ships
using the Canal from pos-
sible Israeli attack, accor-
ding to Israeli sources.
Fem. Movement
Changing Style
of Services
WASHINGTON (WNS) -
The style of Sabbath and
holiday services among
American Jewish college
students is being changed by
the feminist movement, ac-
cording to a report by the
B’nai B’rith Hillel Founda-
tions. A Hillel survey found
that it is not uncommon for
women to be counted as part
of the minyan in campus
services, serve as cantor,
read from the Torah or
chant the Haftorah. Jewish
coeds at Brown and Boston
Universities exclude males
from their all-feminine Sab-
bath services which follows
the Orthodox ritual. A
Haggadah rewritten to cite
the role of women in the
Exodus was used by 75
University of Pennsylvania
coeds for their women-only
seder. Members of Hillel’s
national commission, at their
annual meeting here, agreed
that the use of Hillel
facilities for such departures
from custom was appro-
priate.

Former Foreign Minister
Abba Eban told Jewish
leaders in New York that
Israel must present new
ideas and a specific policy
because diplomatic nature
abhors a vacuum. He said
that in the absence of Israeli
proposals, the possibility of
an imposed settlement in-
creases. But, Rabin told the
Jerusalem gathering that
Israel was correct to stick to
its original position. “Some-
times a strong stand,
sticking to far-reaching pro-
posals which may advance
peace, have better prospects
to bring peace than new
initiatives which only raise
the question of how seri-
ously Israel took its previous
suggestions,” the Premier
* said. ' 7 ' 1 ' ’
