Carter Suggests 'Home" Solution

Cavanaugh Supports : Resolution WASHINGTON - U.S. Representative John Cavn a u g h (2nd D i s t r i c t Nebraska) called passage by the House of a resolution in support of Soviet Jews "a significant step in establishing a concern for human rights in . American foreign policy." The measure passed 400 to 2. Cavanaugh co-sponsored the resolution and supported it when It came before the House International Relations Committee, of which he- is a member. -The .-resolution attacks the Soviet government for violation of the Helsinki Declaration by recent beating, imprisonment and harassment of Soviet Jews seeking exit visas from the Soviet Union. The resolution states that the . Soviet Union pledged In the Helsinki Declaration to facilitate freer movement, expedite reunification with one's family and allow the freedom to emigrate. * The resolution by the House of Representatives is in keeping with the general tone and direction of the Carter administration which has placed a great emphasis on human rights around the world," Cavanaugh said. "I hope this action will benefit those Soviet Jews who suffered persecution by bringing world attention to their plight."

WASHINGTON, (JTA) President Carter has Indicated that he believes a Palestinian "homeland" within "the framework" of Jordan represents one possibility in solving the Middle Bast conflict. He told reporters that' his recent reference to "a Palestinian .home" was "appropriate." "I think some provision has got to be made for the Palestinians in the framework of the nation of Jordan or by some other means," the President was quoted as saying. But he declined to discuss ,what "other means" might be. ' Carter noted that Israel wants to deal with the Palestinian question within the framework of negotiations with Jordan, the reporters

said. He also observed that "Jordan, Syria and Egypt are still trying to decide what kind Of delegation the Arab countries want to have at a possible peace conference." The President also made it clear that U.S. policy has not, changed with respect to contacts with the PLO: When he was asked, before leaving New York, whether the fact that he shook hands with PLO representative Hassan Abdul Rahman at the UN reception in his honor implied that "there would be further contacts between the U.S. officially and the Palestine Libera-., tion Organization," Carter replied, "Well, I doubt that, not until the PLO changes its attitude toward Israel," (Continued on Page 2)

Carter Sees Solution "WltH •Palestinian Home (Continued from Page 1) The President added: -"Our commitment to Israel was made by the previous Administration but I have good hopes that the Palestinians and the Arab nations can get together among themselves first of all, and that when they, the Arab countries and Israel, get to Geneva this year, that there will be an adequate basis for progress. But for me to try to spell out exactly what their relationship might be in the future would be presumptuous. I don't know how to do that." Henog Comments Israeli Ambassador to the UN Cnaim Herzog reacted sharply to the handshake with the PLO observer at the UN. Addressing the 75th anniversary banquet of MizrachiHapoel Hamlzrachl In New Vork. He said "It must be a matter of deepest regret that In the bizarre situation which was created In the United Nations the hand of the President of the United States was extended to the representative of an organization committed to the destruction of Israel, and it matters not whether such an act had political connotations or not." Palestinian Program Meanwhile, reports reaching here from Cairo said that the Palestine National Council meeting there adopted a 15-point program that Included the establishment of an independent Palestinian state and reaffirmed the long run strategic aim of dismantling the State of Israel. The program, adopted by a 194-13 vote, also laid down conditions for Palestinian participation in the Middle East negotiating

process. . It ruled out the Geneva conference under its present terms of reference but said the PLO would negotiate under terms of the 1974 General Assembly resolution that affirmed the Palestinians' right to self-determination, national independence and sovereignty and their right to return to their former homes In what Is now Israel. Military Escalation The program called for escalation of the military and political struggle against Israel and stated that its aim was to "regain the inalienable national rights of the Palestinian people without peace or recognition of Israel." This implied that the PLO would continue Its efforts to eliminate Israel even after a Palestinian state is formed. The Council rejected Security Council Resolution 242 which, it said, "ignores the Palestine people" inasmuch as it defines the Palestinian issue as a refugee problem. It said that any settlement or agreements affecting Palestinian rights taken-In their absence would be "null and void." The delegates accused the U.S. and Israel of inflexibility and stubbornness on the Palestinian Issue and expressed disappointment with President Carter's remarks about a Palestinian "homeland" because he did not specify where such a homeland would be. A council spokesman told reporters after the voting that the 13 dissenting votes were cast by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine which wanted to rule out any negotiations with Israel.

Youth Activities

\ Old Timers' Review I By David Lazarus A -delicious lunch of baked chicken was served us by our beautiful ballebawstehs, Ethel Miller, Dorothy Lazarus, Rose Glmple, Lucy Steinraan, Esther Glmple, Esther Hart, Ida Kahn, Faye Sekar, Zelda Stalmaster, Caroline Schoenberg and Rosalie Greenspan. Cantor Edgar recited both the Motzl before eating, and the benshlng after the meal. Jack Kaiman's guest was Al Pitalls; Izzy Kraft brought his ' brother Leo; Max Greenfield brought Sam Frohman, Elliott Brown was the guest of Nathan Ferer, and Harry Freed brought Clayton Bowe. Three new members joined up — Nathan Schneider, Arthur Grossman and Sam Flshman. Sam started in kindergarten at Kellom back in iyiO — we matriculated there . together in Miss Harriet Walker's class. All 115 of the members Joined in singing' the happy birthday song fur Harold Schoenberg, David Gimple, Sol Steinman and Nathan Glmple. Ad me'ah esrlm, fellows! What Is now a solidly entrenched activity, the Open Forum, had Its third convocation. Foon vaws reyden mirr nite? Ben Laub, director of the Dr. Sher Home acted as moderator. We covered the gamut of subjects from the Moslem takeover of the B'nal B'rith offices, through such things as the American legal system, the dealing with irrational people, housing for elderly Jewish tenants, and then we topped it off with the chuckling dessert of Kats Kotrsle Xoamests. The JCC play was "Enter laughing" — Maurice lets us all conclude each Open Forum with an "Exit Laughing". A good laugh Is better than a krecthtz. To close on a serious and vital note — Phil Cofman proves once again the efficient logic of his mind.. He has designed for senior members of our community a scale of reduced membership fees which surely will permit every Jewish citizen to join up and lend support to this magnificent social platform. Our JCC is more than bricks and glass and electric wiring, more than an edifice. If you can. imagine our city being devoid entirely of our JCC for just one year, you will understand how profundly vital a part it plays In our lives. It is as much a part of our social fabric as are our synagogues and schools, the symphony and libraries, our courts of law and our metropolitan utilities. The JCC merits our fullest possible support. PhU Cofman's plan meets us more than half-way. Joe Upton stated it well — "the more Jews who now will sign up, the more we will ensure that the JCC Is In fact a JEWISH Community Center." Call PhU Cotaan's office for information on the new very low rates—3348200. And Shalom to you all, and to all Israel.
