THE MONTGOMERY ADVERTISERAND ALABAMA JOURNAL PAGE3C. SATURDAY. MAY 2. 1987 Camps are temporary home, Palestinians vow continued from 1C Jabr on the other side of Jericho. He said most of them fled on foot across the Jordan River seven miles away into Jordan during the 1967 war.

They now live in refugee camps near Amman, Jordan's capital. "But there was no combat here, why did they run away?" I asked. "They panicked," he said. "The Israelis dropped leaflets from the air telling them it would be best if they sought safety in Jordan." It is illegal to display the Palestinian flag or sing Palestinian nationalist songs, but it is done anyway. Arabs living in the West Bank and Gaza cannot legally stay overnight in Israel, including Jerusalem, although some do anyway.

There is a curfew in the camps where people have demonstrated and thrown stones at passing by the Israeli government, comes from a prominent family in this city of about 150,000 people with an annual municipal budget of $16 million. Most Nablusis, like citizens of the other major cities in the West Bank, are not regarded as refugees because they did not flee in the wars of 1948 and 1967. "Israel wants the land (in the West Bank and Gaza) without people, we are people intending to stay," Toukan said. "While the Arabs remain divided, our problem will not be solved." Bassam Shaka', the former elected mayor, belongs to an old Nablus family engaged in olive oil production and soap manufacturing. "There is no such thing as a Palestinian not involved in the struggle," he said.

THE MULLAH of the camp's mosque. Sheik Ibrahim, claimed that Israeli authorities censored his Friday sermon. During the previous week's curfews, he was forbidden to use the minaret to remind the faithful to pray, but he defied the order and was interrogated, he said." What about the future? How will their story end? "I want my rights, in the name of God," said the sheik. "Everyone should have rights in life. We can wait.

After all, Arabs waited out the Crusaders, and other conquerors." THE "STORIES and atmosphere were similar later in the day when I visited Nablus, a city whose nationalist fervor dates back to Ottoman times.

Mtgy May 1,2,5,7,13.14, 1987 784279 NOTICE OP COMPLETION American Contractors hereby gives notice of completion of contract with the City of Montgomery Housing Authority, Project was Insulation of continued from 1C I asked Mayor Teddy Kollek if he thought the city was still divided psychologically almost 20 years after its reunification. "When wasn't it divided?" he shot back. "If you came here 200 years ago, you would have found the' divisions.

You are an Armenian, born here. Have the Armenians ever mixed with anybody?" "No, they've stayed in their own ghetto," I said. He didn't see it as I did! "No, they've preserved their own community," he corrected me. "We are singular in Jerusalem. We are different, and you always expect things to be like they are in your country.

But even you have blacks, Italians, Puerto Ricans. Do they mi?" Kollek, born in Vienna 75 years ago, admits that Arabs and Jews are alienated. It's not easy to be an Arab in Jerusalem, he said. "You must remember that Jews are in the majority In the city," he said. "Seventy percent of the Jews in Jerusalem came from Moslem countries and they are more anti-Arab than the Jews from other parts of the world." THE MAYOR EXPLAINED: "In some Moslem countries, those Jews had a good life, in other countries a very difficult life.

In no country were they part of the body politic. In every country they worried about their safely. So the Jews from Moslem countries identify the Arabs here with their Moslem overlords back home, and they have no love for them." The anger is exacerbated by terrorist incidents, by the fact that Jerusalem Jews have died in wars since 1948 and that every Israeli has to serve in the army for 1 months a year until the age of 55. "Under those circ*mstances, it's admirable how much tolerance there is between Arabs and Jews," Kollek said. "You see very few excesses.

Look, the immediate families of many PLO leaders in Lebanon and Syria live safely in Jerusalem. Some of them even get social welfare money from the Israeli government." Would the mayor like to see the Arabs of Jerusalem become Israeli citizens? "I would like for them to do what they want," he answered. "I would like for them to preserve their identity. I don't believe in goulash." KOLLEK DOESN'T BELIEVE the melting pot theory should apply to his country. "I don't think it will work.

It will only create tension. Americans believe in a monoculture, but you don't really have a melting pot. You've given up even on busing. "I think the Arabs must be brought into the mainstream of Jerusalem, but that doesn't mean we have to mix." In Kollek's view, the solution is to learn to live together "as separate people in the same city." He was first elected mayor in 1965, two years before the city was reunited. He had predicted that the city one day would be one, he said, Eastern Star and White Shrine of Jerusalem.

There had been disturbances that morning and soldiers shot into the air to disperse the crowds. A week earlier, a 12-year-old boy had been killed during demonstrations. The camp elders described midnight knocks on doors by Israeli soldiers, sudden searches and beatings. They said 800 of the camp's young men are in jail, accused of terrorism. hospital.

1 was sick, but they hauled me away anyway," he said. "I spent 17 days in jail. Then I paid a fine and was let go." but "was still astounded when it happened." Jerusalem's city hall still bears bullet marks from the wars of 1948 and 1967. Kollek wants the scars to remain as a reminder of what was. As a reminder of what is, he points to cleaner streets, better electricity, sewer and water services and direct access by Arabs to the mayor.

"The Arabs never saw their mayor before 1967," he said. "YOU SEE Arabic and Hebrew signs on city streets," he said. "You see more Arabic newspapers published here than ever before. We don't have the crime you have in your cities. In no other Moslem country is there as much tolerance as there is here." East Jerusalem is indeed a cleaner place than I remember it being in the 1950s.

Basic services were unreliable then, and parks did not exist. Neither did traffic lights nor traffic-jams and high-rises. By law, every structure in the city now has to be built with native stone, and that gives Jerusalem a pinkish hue illuminated magnificently and naturally by the sun at dusk and dawn. Progress has been visible and undeniable, but not in the sense that matters most. The city is united physically, but a wide human chasm remains.

I often asked Arabs in Jerusalem whether they visited all parts of the city. The standard response was, "No, I don't go to Israel," meaning they don't go to the Jewish parts of the city. And few Jews visit the Arab parts of the city. "I have no reason to be there. My life is here," was a common response from the other side.

ARABS AND JEWS interact in the public markets, but contact is rare anywhere else. Work-place contacts are hierarchical, with Jews as the bosses and Arabs the subordinates in most instances. In Jerusalem, more than in most other Israeli cities, bags are searched whenever one enters public buildings, be it a department store, a movie theater or a bank. Even the name of the city is a matter of dispute. The Jews call it Yeru-shalayim the city of peace.

The Arabs call it Al Quds the blessed one. I would call it the city of angry piety, where passions lie just below the surface always ready to erupt. Yet how can I not harbor deep affection for a city where every stone is venerated, virtually every wall worshiped? How can I not be touched when a Bedouin from, the desert, coming to Friday's cattle market, recites to me his recipe of life: "Moslems, Christians and Jews, no matter who we are, we will be under the earth of Jerusalem one day. Nothing happens except by God's command. The rain falls only on God's command.

Abraham is the father of us all." "delay was hard on us." Mrs. Johns said she doesn't think the nightmare will end for her family until llallford "sits in the chair." "I could have jumped and shouted," Johns said of the day Hal-lford was sentenced to death. "But that is too damn good for him. He should have been put away just as he did my son." Johns said he missed six weeks of work after his son's body was found. He said both he and his wife had to take medication for anxiety during the trial.

"We are dreading another tria-1 I don't want to go through it all again and again," Mrs. Johns said. This week Hallford's court-appointed attorney, Bill Kominos, filed a motion for a new trial for his client. Johns, who said he is a recovered "almost alcoholic," said his friends were worried that he would go back to drinking because of the bad year he had. "This last year has been hell on us," Johns said.

"This year has got to be a whole lot better than last year I couldn't stand it." "I KEPT THINKING it was like something I would read in a detective magazine while I was waiting at the bus station," Mrs. Johns said. "You never think it is going to happen to you." She said if she could give advice to other victims she would tell them to just "pray for justice to be done." an underground Gas Distribution System in Montgomery, Alabama.

"Capt. Walter Ford with the Dale County Sheriffs brought me a card arid helped me fill it out and then the check came." "One of the problems we have is getting the word out," Anita Armstrong Morgan, the executive director of the Alabama Crime Victims Compensation Commission, said. Morgan said her agency has to rely in'most cases on law enforcement officials to tell victims their rights. Jnhns said Ford made frequent vis-itsio his house throughout the investigation. "He always told us as much as he could," Johns said.

Criminals have a right to a speedy trial, but they often seek continuances and other postponements," she said. "Meanwhile the victim and his family are waiting just wanting the trial to be over and to put their lives back together."
