AT THE SAME TIME, FEAR OVER AN OPEN CONFR.ONTAT ION BETWEEN DR KISSINGER AND THE LEADERS OF THE JEWISH ORGANIZATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES IS INCREASING. OUR NEW YORK CORRESPONDENT YORAN RONEN HAS FILED THIS REP-RT; (RONEN--RECORDED.) THE MOOD AMONG THE JEWISH LEADERS IN THE UNITED STATES HAS CHANGED IN THE PAST. FEW DAYS. MANY JEWISH LEADERS BEOEVED UNTIL TODAY THAT HENRY KISSINGER SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED TO CONTINUE HIS MISSION, BECAUSE ANY 'ALTERNATIVE WOULD BE -WORSE. 'HOEVER REPLACED KISSINGER AS SECRETARY OF STATE, THEY BELIEVED, W ULD NOT BE AS GOOD TO THE JEWS. THE JEWISH LEADERS ARE NOW BEGINNING TO SPEAK DIFFERENTLY, THERE I S NO MORE TALK ABOUT THE NEED TO 00 EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO HAVE KI SSI NGER' S MEDIATION CANT I NUE. 'ON 'THE CONTRARY, THERE ARE SOME WHO SAY THAT PERHAPS IT OULD BE BETTER FOR K I SS I LAGER. TO STOP DEALING WITH OUR ISSUE. WE AVE CAUGHT H I M I N TOO MANY LIES I N RECENT WEEKS, A JEWISH LEADER, WHO TOGETHER WITH OTHERS HAS SO FAR UNRESERVEDLY SUPPORTED THE SECRETARY, OF STATE AND HIS MISSION, TOLD ME THIS MORNING... KISSINGER HAD SOUGHT TO DELAY. THE SIGNING OF CONTRACTS FOR THE SUP L Y OF U. S ARMS TO ISRAEL--CONTRACTS W H I CH ARE BEING DELAYED NOVA- AS PART.

S. JEWRYw-KISSINGER OF THE , WHO HAD PROMISED PRIME MINISTER RABIN NOT TO BLAME EITHER SIDE FOR THE FAILURE OF HIS MISSION THE NEXT DAY TRIED IN SO-CALLED PRIVATE TALKS TO LEAK OUT AND ISRAEL WAS TO BLAME FOR NOT DISPLAYING SUFFICIENT FLEXIBILITY IN THE TALKS; KISSINGER, WHO WAS CONVINCED THAT HE WAS LEAVi FOR THE MIDDLE EAST WITH AN ISRAELI AGREEMENT IN PRINCIPLE NG FOR WITHDRAWAL FROM THE PASSES AND ABU RUDAYS IN RETURN FO SOMETHING LESS THAN NONBELL IGERENCY. R KSSINGER TALKS, NOT FOR PUBL I CAT ION, THAT HE HAD ' DECIDED OALEAVE IFORR IHETE MIDDLE EAST AFTER BEING CONVINCED THROUGH TALKS WITH THE FOREIGN MINISTER ALLON AND AMBASSADOR DINITZ THAT ISRAEL BE PREPARED TO AGREE T WOULD O SUCH A SETTLEMENT. NEWSWEEK WRITES THIS MORNING ON THIS SUBJECT' THAT YIGAL ALLON HAD TOLD KISSIN WASHINGTON. SOMETHING LIKE THIS: I CANNOT COMMIT MYSELF ONR IN BEHALF OF THE GOVERNMENT, BUT IT SEEMS T N w.~ SETTLEMENT ,CAN WORK. 0 ME THAT SUCH A BUT IT DID NOT WORK, AND THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS FOR THE TENSION BETWEEN KISSINGER AND ALLON. ANOTHER'''NEWSWEEK REPORT TODAY SAYS THAT EVEN IF KISSINGE MEDIATION TALKS ARE,RESUMED IN THE FORM OF PROXIMITY TAKS R S WASHINGTON,; THE SECRETARY OF STATE DOES NOT WANT ISRAELL'TO BE REPRESENTED BY FOREIGN MINISTER ALLON. ACCORDING TO NEWSWEEK KISSINGER BELIEVES THAT ALLON ACTS IN WASHINGTON AS THOUGH BE DEPENDED UPON, WHILE HIS OPINION IN N HIS WORDS NOT HEEDED ER USALEM IS J . .TENSION IS NOW NOTICEABLE ALSO IN RELATIONS'BETWEEN AMBASSADOR D INITZ--THE SAME AMBASSADOR D I NITZ WHO HAD :..THE JEWISH LEADERS TO DO THEIR EEN KISSINGER ASKED MISSION CONTINUE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER* UTMOST TO HAVE KISSINGER'S IS ACCUSING DINITZ OF PAINTING TOO OPTIMI~STICLATPICTUfi KfFSIHEER MOOD IN THE GOVERNMENT AND IN ISRAEL. RE OF THE IN THIS RESPECT, RUMORS ARE CIRCULATING AGAIN TODAY ABOUT THAT DINITZ WILL BE REPLACED. THERE ARE SOMET THE WHO ALREADY GIVE THE NAME OF HIS SUCCESSOR, RESERVE MAJ GEN AMIT.
