Gav hox Jerusalem a the Lynul report on israelis failures in the join Lii Piir War of 3973 has turned out to be a Damp s lib. The first report of the prestigious a Ranat commission of inquiry published last year led to the immediate ouster of Israel s chief of staff general David Elazar and other set dior officers and eventually led to the fall of i h e Loveri Imenit of mrs. Golda Meir. The present report was Caj cry awaited not least because former defence minister Moshe Dayan who resigned with mrs. Meir had served notice he was planning a political comeback. Last month he said he was not yet out of political life in Israel and the important thing was what the Agranat commission said about him. In the event Dayan is not mentioned in the Small Section of the report now released and his chances of a comeback at car to be minimal. The former minister of defence is under fire from both left and right. Menahem Iselin the Leader of the right Wing opposition and a potential ally of Dayan commented in a radio interview Dayan was a political Leader and must Lake full responsibility fur the fact Israel was surprised october 6, 1973. A number of political commentators have added their Adverse Corbit Levils on Dayan s chances. As for the report itself those parts of it released for publication Are unexceptional. Only some 40 of the 1500 pages have been published and the conclusions Are mostly of a general nature. One specific dispute in whal has been called Israel s a War of the generals is partly covered. For several months after the 1973 War there was a bitter dispute Between general a a Hmiel Gonen commander of Israel s Southern front and general Ariel Sharon the Flambo Yuit Parati top officer Whu led the israeli crossing of the Suez canal into Egypt. Gonen charged Sharon with insubordination while Sharon countered with charges Gonen was incompetent. The commission has favored Sharon As far As it goes. Gonen is blamed for making several serious mistakes and with a failure to Coutil his forces properly. He has been judged incapable of divisional command. On the other hand the commission agreed Witti general Sharon it w As legitimate to disobey an order in certain circumstances. The commission did not examine general Sharon a actual conduct or his contribution to the israeli Campaign. The Brevity of the published report has aroused considerable criticism in the israeli press. Editorials and leading political commentators have suggested it would have Beeti less harmful to have published the Lull re Detrois malaise is America s doing by Wiiliam Seei in Detroit a nowhere in America can the nations disregard for its cities and the failure of the nation s economic policies be seen so clearly As in Detroit. Nowhere Are the nation s other grave problems so obvious racism unemployment crime the Lack of land use Laws the dreadful failure of forty years of housing programs a costly transportation system Tjit depends so heavily on the automobile. This ugly in iolent depressing City Long has been perhaps the most late Restig american City. It is surely the most american of american cities the Birthplace of the automobile and the moving Assembly line tie Home of the $5 Day and planned obsolescence a Birthplace of labor the Arsenal of democracy the City that gave us the treasure of All of our youths the hot car. Tie City to me is most fascinating because Here the nations problems Are so concen Uale Tough Blacks on Mack ave 11 u c naked bodies plopped on the carts at the Wayne county morgue the red autopsy scars Mot Strous on their a Pink Brick work Itig class suburb in Warren the Metanira Hunt club with the Rich men and their wives Riding to hounds a Leo year old farm with a Stone farmhouse disappearing for a Swank subdivision Abercrombie amp Fitch and Schrafft s in Gaudy Somerset mall tie smug whiles pro menacing in s300 sheepskin Coats that is what Detroit is that is what America is.

My family has done Mudi of its shopping at three supermarkets there has been a homicide at each. Dope is a Nion Ster. Wrecking lives causing a Large part of the City s crime. The dope men Seoul about town in their big a ple hats and their High heeled shoes. The White Money is hidden. Crime is the City s growth mans try.

Unemployment is at 18 per cent and will probably Rise. In some ghetto poc kits it is probably 50 per cent or More. Food stamp and uric employment lines begin before the Sun rises. Schools Are in horrendous condition a number Date to before tie turn of the Century. Has any City Given itself so much to the automobile despite the City remains dependent on the automobile Industry Detroit has paid the Price so Mericus can have the privacy and Comfort of their automobiles. It is the automobile that has done so much to make Detroit an ugly place the archetype of the factory City. Century ago this was largely a charming Community the vate Viront Given to Industry but a City with Many Graceful victorian Homes with great lawns and handsome wrought Iron fences. Then the automobile came and Nith it hoards of Southern whiles a or Blacks sons of busted Farmers. The real estate interests fought building Anil housing codes which did not come Imil mid Century a a gift it was said to the City Detroit became in part a Fily of cheap Homes crammed tightly , the Black slums of today. A similar pattern occurred after the second world War As builders threw up cheap Homes for veterans Money made from those Homes was taken out of the City and helped build today a suburbs. Today Many major streets Are nothing but strips of abandoned buildings. Housing programs Are a disaster. The United states department of housing and Urban development owns some 9,000 abandoned Homes in Detroit a More than there Are ill Midland Mich a City of some i people 120 Miles North of Detroit redevelopment takes years. In cleared areas one can see what appears to be Tumbleweed As in some Colorado ghost town. Monstrous freeways Hack through once cohesive neighbourhoods. Suburban areas spread around the City for mile after mile consuming land that should Titi be in farms or have gone for Parks and forests. The City sits on a major River but there is one Beach open to everyone Small often dirty. The beaches in the nearby Grosse Pointe area Are closed to Detroi ters although the people idiom Grosse Pointe could come to Detroit if they did no to dislike the Blacks so much. The nearest metropolitan or state beaches Parks and forests Are Miles away a this in a slate that was once a Gigantic Wude Ness. Handsome downtown office buildings built decades ago empty out and run Down while new office buildings fill up in new High Rise cities in the suburbs a Troy Southfield Dearborn. Henry Ford 2nd is building a Gigantic Renaissance Center described As the most Urban redevelopment project Ever constructed in America on the Detroit River. But the riverfront should be Public land. And if the project is successful it will give that space to the Rich for hotels and shops and apartments. It will indeed increase the tax base but it will be a place for the Rich to Parade to Dine at a High Tesla Grant and watch uie Ore boats and the twinkling lights making a decaying City. It will be a Magnet sucking what is left of the downtown mostly captive enterprises like Banks and utilities into a defensive enclave behind streets and cleared areas that would in War be called Fields of fire. The answers for Detroit Are the answers for Al american cities. Democrat Lize the land so that the Countryside can be saved and that wealth can be forced into inc City. Fund the schools a including the use of an equalized lax base. Attack crime. People who commit crimes a who Mug rape and Rob a should be put in jail. Fight dope. Plan the Economy. Reduce the nations dependency on the automobile. The answer is not Cash rebates. It is to reduce the size of the Auto Industry. Let it diversify let it turn to mass transit. If it does not wish to do that let it become a smaller Industry. Let it go the Ivay of the whaling Industry or he buggy Industry if that i i its decision. Bring in modern business Wilh emphasis upon Detroit a share of research industries that do not pollute. But this is a pipe dream. Detroit s problems a America s problems a do not matter for they do not touch people of wealth and Power. The automobile men the Home builders. The Bankers the conus Resmen the .senator.�, the president. Their uves Are in order. There Are no homicides in their supermarkets. Their Homes Are in Good repair their lawns Large and Green. Their cars arc new and sleek their children in College air planes can whisk them away from their weekday cares. Money does not care. Wmk am scr in i an a Jil Sirini ally editor of the Detroit free press port. Tivey predict there will now be a serie s of leaks released by Cabinet ministers and others allowed to read the full report with the object of vindicating or blaming in Arious political leaders. The Coivin Mission was set up to set Jay the Public demand to know Why things went so badly the first Days of the War it is being said but the committee has Beha de like an historical research team and has done Little to allay Public concern. The reports Brevity has not however prevented reaction and comment. There has been a plethora of statements both from political figures Aud Exgene rals. General Chaim he izod. Whose own Book in the War is to be published soon in England has charged the report indicates a Lack of Clear civilian authority Over the army which could be dangerous. He and a number of Ether Public figures have pm phase ipod also the report s a strictures on israeli army discipline. It has however been said that although discipline should be tightened Israel still needed a fighting army rather than a saluting army. Perhaps the most moving comment came from colonel Assaf yag Turi the first senior israeli officer to be captured by the egyptians when they crossed the Suez canal. He criticized the mild Delach cd tone of the report contrasting it u Ith what his men had suffered. He had hoped a Clear line of responsibility would be drawn and Ivoti dered Why this hid not been done. In the Long run however Lin other political event in Israel last week is Likely to have Mere effect on the ii tire than the publication of tie report. The resignation from the government of or. Alvaron Yariv the minister of information has been overshadowed by the publication of the Agranat report but it is Likely to cause prime minister Wilzak Habin far store trouble. Yai in was regarded As being close to the prime minister but he has said he was dissatisfied with the Way the government was working. He has been in trouble Over his advocacy of a National Emeit gency government including the Righi. And conversely for his viev Israel should agree to talk to the Palestine liberation organization if the Plo stopped its terror activities and recognized Israel. Uoti these stands were strongly opposed by Rabi ii. Yariv new Freer to h i s uncomfortable views but More important than that the ruling labor party is now pressing for the return of former foreign min Isler Abba Eban to the Cabinet instead of Yari a.
