ned 10-clay U.S. visit to return
home immediately.
“It is with deep sorrow that I
have to report the death of the
wife of Prime Minister
Menachem Begin, Aliza,” Israeli
spokesman Uri Porath said.
Porath said the news was re
ceived in Los Angeles about 4:30
p.m. PST Saturday.
“The prime minister is re
turning to Israel immediately,”
he said.
Begin was to have made his
first formal appearance of the
U.S. visit less than an hour al ter
the death of Mrs. Begin, 62, was
disclosed. He received the news
while resting prior to a sche
duled speech before the Nation
al Council ol Jewish Federations
at the Bonaventure I Intel.
Porath said Begin s Israeli
Air Force 707 jet would leav e for
New York later Saturday night
and then Ily on to Israel.
Mrs. Begin had been in critic
al condition since being hospital
ized several weeks ago for severe
respiratory problems.
Outside the hotel where Be
gin was to speak, several groups
of Palestinian Arabs and Amer
ican Jews opposed to the prime
minister’s policies and American
visit gathered for demonstra
tions, patrolled by hundreds of
police, many on horseback.
Inside, a close aide to Begin
said his speech Saturday would
have stressed “positive ele
ments” of Israel’s proposals for
Palestinian autonomy and
would not directly criticize the
Reagan peace plan.
One close aide said the prime
minister would “stress the posi
tive elements of Israel’s propos
als for Palestinian autonomy,”
rather than “speak to the nega
tive” — openly criticize the
Reagan initiative.
The aide said Begin would
of f er condolences to the families
of the dead and wounded in
Thursday’s bombing of Israeli
military headquarters in Tyre.
He was not expected, however,
to bring up the massacre of
Palestinians in Beirut, the aide
said.
Senior Israeli officials have
been playing down reports from
Washington of a pending con
frontation when Begin and
President Reagan meet at the
White House next week.
Yet they have given no hints
Begin would agree to Reagan’s
request for a freeze on Jewish
settlement in the occupied West
Bank and Gaza Strip, home for
some 1.2 million Palestinians.
One senior official said
Washington compromised its
position as mediator and “hon
est broker” by publicly express
ing the view the disputed region,
about the size of Delaware,
should become a Palestinian
homeland linked to Jordan.
Begin was to have flown to
Dallas Monday to meet with Jew
ish fundraisers and address a
convention of Baptist churches.
A major participant was to have
been the Rev. Jerry Falwell,
head of the Moral Majority and
a strong supporter of Israel.

WASHINGTON — George
McGovern, encouraged by the
success of the nuclear freeze
movement in the midterm elec
tions, said Saturday he may run
for president again in 1984.
The 1972 Democratic pres
idential nominee admitted,
however, the one thing that wor
ries him is the prospect of look
ing ridiciilotis as a chronic losing
candidate.
“If I got into it, I’d try it out in
Iowa and New Hampshire —
those first two or three primar
ies,” he said.
“If I did poorly. I’d get out.
Or if it looked like I was only
getting enough votes to damage
abetter candidate than the rest
of the field, I’d get out. I
wouldn’t want to be a spoiler.”
McGovern said he would not
make a final decision until well
into 1983.
McGovern, 60, who served
three terms in the Senate before
his defeat two years ago, carried
only Massachusetts and the Dis
trict of Columbia in his unsuc
cessful attempt to deny Richard
Nixon re-election in 1972.
“If I decided sometime next
year I could help redefine the
issues before the country in a
way that would be beneficial, I
might give it another try, even if
I thought the odds of being
nominated were not very good,”
McGovern said.
McGovern’s 1972 campaign
was built on the anti-Vietnam
War sentiment in the country.
He noted nuclear freeze mea
sures carried in eight states plus
the District of Columbia Nov. 4.
“If I felt that on these nuclear
war issues and the priorities
issues here at home that have to
do with the budget and the eco
nomy and I could help sharpen
that debate and help make those
problems better understood, it’s
just possible I might get into it,”
McGovern said.
“I’ve had businessmen talk to
me on airplanes about the freeze
and say, ‘that makes a lot of
sense,”’ McGovern said. “I think
it’s a more conservative move
ment than the antiwar move
ment was back in the ‘60s. There
are more lawyers and clergymen
involved.”
McGovern said he finds run
ning against Reagan an intri
guing prospect.
“I’d love to debate him. I
think the guy is incredibly ill-
informed on basic issues.”
McGovern said Reagan’s
Thursday news conference
comment that there is “plenty of
evidence” foreign agents have
infiltrated the nuclear freeze
movement is outrageous.
McGovern said he has asked
no one to support him and has
not raised a single dollar or
organized a campaign structure
or political action committee,
and will take no polls.

WASHINGTON — A pres
idential commission voted
Saturday to assure Americans
Social Security “is here to stay,”
but agreed on only one idea to
meet a $200 billion shortfall —
requiring more workers to join
the system.
“It’s come out in total less
than what I would have hoped,
but certainly far in excess of
what I realistically expected,”
Chairman Alan Greenspan told
the National Commission on So
cial Security Reform as it wrap
ped up a three-day meeting
aimed at agreeing on recom
mendations.
Greenspan said the panel
agreed on how much Social
Security needs and that it should
be stabilized, and that the system
needs no radical changes, such
as a conversion to a voluntary
system.
“All members of the commis
sion are committed basically to
the structure with which we are
dealing,” Greenspan said.
The panel meets again Dec.
10 and members hope to try
again to agree on specific recom
mendations to raise the $ 150 bil
lion to $200 billion they estimate
Social Security needs in the next
seven years.
President Reagan ordered
the panel to report by Dec. 31,
and Democratic congressional
leaders promise quick action on
its recommendations to avert a
crisis next July, when the old-
age fund will be unable to pay
checks on time.
Greenspan agreed the com
mission report should, in the
words of Rep. Claude Pepper,
D-Fla., “give assurances to the
skeptics in this country, of what
ever age, that the Social Security
system is here to stay.”
“Our only difference is the
details of how financing to meet
these problems is provided,”
said Pepper, 82, a member of
the commission.
Greenspan, a Republican,
and Robert Ball, a Democrat
and former Social Security com
missioner, agreed most of the 15
members on the bipartisan but
Republican-dominated panel
favor requiring more workers in
Social Security.
Federal, state, local and non
profit group employees are ex
empt from the retirement prog
ram. The strongest agreement
was on federal and non-profit
workers, which would raise $21
billion by 1990.
Although members lobbied
each other in private meetings
trying to agree on a package of
changes, possibly to include
payroll tax hikes and curbs on
the cost-of-living payment, the
backroom talks failed to pro
duce a compromise.
