Begin's Inflexibility
Is Often Irritating
Recalcitrant Menachem Begin of Israel may be on the
way toward alienating support for his country if he con-
tinues to adhere to his sometimes inflexible policies
Begin s stubbornness has created a fresh rift between
Israel and Egypt. To say the least, relations between the
two countries, which thawed during the presidency of the
late Anwar Sadat, have been on shaky ground strice Sadat
was assassinated several months ago
Had Sadat lived, normal relations between Egypt and
Israel might eventually have been possible, depending on
Sadat’s ability to keep Begin pacified.
* Now Begin has sent word to Egyptian President Hosni
Mubarak that unless Mubarak visits Jerusalem Begin
will not go to Egypt The volatile Israeli Prime Minister
also vowed Israel would not receive any guest who pro-
tests Israel's control of Jerusalem.
Begin insists that Mubarak include Jerusalem, which
Israel declared its undivided capital in 1980. on any plann-
ed itinerary in Israel In effect, the Israeli government
has told Mubarak it will cancel plans for his visit unless
he agrees to come to Jerusalem.
Arabs would consider a visit by Mubarak to Jerusalem
implicit Egyptian recognition of that city as Israel s
capital Egypt and most western nations, including the
United States, recognizes Tel Aviv as Israel's capital,
despite Israeli efforts to have Jerusalem recognized as its
capital. •
The Arabs consider the Arab quarter of Jerusalem oc-
cupied territory A visit to Jerusalem by Mubarak would
further complicate frayed relations between Egypt and
the remainder of the A>rab world
The Israelis point out that Sadat visited Jerusalem in
, November 1977. but th^ Egyptians counter that at the
same time, the Arab quarter, though occupied by Israel,
had not yet been officially annexed That annexation led
Sadat to delay Palestinian autonomy talks
Israeli sources say Begin regards a Mubarak trip to
Israel that excludes Jerusalem as a potential slight to him
and a denigration of the Camp David accords, which
began to take shape as a result of Sadat’s visit to
Jerusalem
Begin is also reported to believe that such an exclusion
would symbolically, at least, undermine the importance
Israel attaches to Jerusalem as its capital. .
The Baytown Sun agrees with Egypt’s ambassador to
the U S,. Ashraf Ghorbal, who said in Washington-that
Israel is needlessly complicating relations between'the
two countries by insisting on the Jerusalem visit. s'

New TV Show Idea SiSSSSUS

When I'm watching "That’s In-
credible." I get to wondering why
they don't make a TV show and
callll. "That's Impossible "
Why. we could make one right
here In Baytown.
How's about some examples:
Mass together all the heavy
equipment needed to "Jack up"
the tunnel high enough to have a
bridge across the ship channel.
Drill a hole deep enough to hit
an underground river below
Brownwood and plug it. During
flooding conditions, just pull the
plug
Turn every signal light In town
on green for one hour to weed out
all cars with faulty brakes.
Have all Houston Posts and
Houston Chronicles self destruct
when they hit the ground.
Recycle all the used "Oyster
FryC grease into automobile fuel
We ll call It Oysterllne, but watch
your engine closely, it may tend
to "clam up "
Dam up Goose Creek at Baker
Road so residents of Country Club
will have Instant "lakelots."
Put 500.000 gallons of some good
liquor In the water at the treat-
ment plant'to get rid of the foul
taste.
Have the Beautify Baytown

houses and nail them on top of
telephone poles

During the 1980 presidential campaign, candidate
Reagan attacked the Carter administration for its plan to
deploy Jhe new MX intercontinental ballistic missile on
moving trains in the western desert. Nine months after
taking office, Reagan’s team of experts came up with a
plan to put 40 of the 100 still-to-be-built missiles in silos
now occupied by the aging Titan II missiles and to
“superharden” these silos to protect them from a poten-
tial Soviet attack. Two months later, they changed their
minds and said they would put the MXs in silos now oc-
cupied by Minuteman missiles and superharden them.
* Now it seems the Pentagon has changed its mind again
and will not, in fact, superharden anything. This decision,
or rather indecision, derives partly from congressional
grumbling about the program, but the principal cause for
hesitation appears to be serious doubts within the Pen-, profit given to the Mitchell House
tagon as to whether the MX can be sufficiently protected was the most satisfying reward
from attack, or, it so, whether it can be done without
budget-busting cost overruns.
There is a real danger, though, that the Kremlin may
not view these changes in direction merely as a reflection
of an incoherent defense strategy in Washington. Instead,
Moscow may see it as ‘ ‘proof’ ’ that the Reagn administra-
tion never intended to shield the MX from attack but plan-
