Sen. Zorinsky Expresses Concern Over Carter's Mid-East Policy

Senator Edward Zorinsky has expressed deep concern regarding recent Administration actions on Middle East policy. In a letter to President Carter, the Senator said: "If there is a meaningful peace settlement, It will come''only because the United States has made it undeniably and unavoidably clear, that we will treat Israel as a trusted friend and accept nothing less than a peace reached through mutual compromise and open communication..." The full text of the letter Is as follows: "When we met earlier this year you assured me that the protection of Israel's political and military security would have primacy in your Middle East policy. However, recent actions by the Admlnstratlon have caused me deep concern. "The Adminstration's drive to win a Palestinian presence at Geneva has been especially disturbing. When Secretary Vance visited the Middle East in February, he asserted that the Palestine Liberation Organization could participate in peace talks only if It (1) accepted resolutions 242 and 338; (2) recognized the rightof Israel to exist; (3) renounced its National Covenant which calls for the destruction of Israel. Yet, when the Secretary returned to the Middle East in August, only a de facto acceptance of the UN resolutions was asked of the PLO. It was made clear that the U.S. would alter its opposition to this terrorist organization In exchange for a minimal, cosmetic appearance of'moderation.' "Mr. President, the United States owes nothing to the PLO. Despite the wishful thinking of some of your, advisers, there is no evidence of moderation in the PLO. That organization remains committed to the annihilation of the Jewish State. In 1974 and

Yitzhak Rabin to Speak At Dinner of State Yitzhak Rabin, former Prime Minister of the State of Israel wiii speak at the Omaha •Israel Dinner of State honorIng Eli Zalkln, Wednesday, Nov. 16, at Peony Ballroom, on behalf of the Omaha Israel Bond 1977 Campaign. Al Abramson and Morton Richards associate General Chairmen of the Campaign and Dinner in their announcement noted that they were very proud to have Rabin In Omaha. Dietary laws will be obscrved at the dinner. Reservations and information can be made and obtained by calling 3411177. Rabin, who has hejd key military and diplomatic posts' In a brilliant career spanning more than three decades, served as head of the government of Israel for three years ending June, 1977. An outstanding military hero who led his country to victory as Chief of.Staff In the Six Day War of June, 1967, Rabin served as Israel's Ambassador to the United States for five years beginning in February, 1968. Prior to assuming that post, he had been in charge of Israel's air, land and sea forces for more than four years. He was the first Israel Army General to win the winged insignia of the Parachute Corps. Yitzhak Rabin began his military career as a teenager with Palmach, the striking group of Haganah, the Jewish defense force established dur-
again this year, the PLO asserted that it would seek a West Bank/Gaza state not as a "homeland," but as a base for the conquest of Israel through "armed struggle." A PLO-controlled West Bank/Gaza state would be quickly turned into a Sovietdominated state committed to warring against America's two closest allies in the Middle East—Israel and Jordan. "More important, the drive to win the PLO's participation in the Geneva talks is a clear violation of the U.S.-Israel Memoran|dum of Agreement (September 1,1975): 'The United States will oppose and, if necessary, vote against any initiative In the 'Security Council to alter adversely the terms of reference of the Geneva peace conference or to change Resolutions 242 and 338 hi ;ways which are incompatible with their original purpose.' ' America's promises are made to be kept and I certainly hope they will be in this instance. "An assertive American posture in the Middle East is essential, but leverage should be applied to the Arab states, not only on Israel. The American people, I can assure you, would not accept a dictated peace process In which our adversaries refused to recognize the right of the U.S. to exist, refused to negotiate with us, and refused to accommodate themselves to our legitimate security interests. If there is a meaningful peace settlement, it will come only because the United States has made It undeniably and unavoidably clear that we will treat Israel as a trusted friend and accept nothing less than a peace reached through mutual compromise and open communication. "I hope you will give due consideration to my views since I feel strongly about them."
Dayan Awaits Aid Policy Yltzhak Rabin ing the British Mandate. He took part in many key actions, including the daring liberation in 1946 of more than 200 "Illegal Immigrants" in the British' detention . camp at Athllt. He commanded the soldiers who broke the Arab siege of Jerusalem during thq War of Independence, and participated in the capture of Becrsheba. After the end of the War of Independence, he was appointed Commander of the B a t t a l i o n Commanders Course, the highest training school in the Israel Army. During 1952 and most of 1953, he served as Chief Operations Officer at Israel General Headquarters In Jerusalem. In 1955, he was placed in charge of his country's Northern Command.

Addressing the United Jewish Appeal Study Conference here, Dayan said such a pledge was given him by President Carter and Vance and that the Secretary had promised to make a public statement to the effect. Dayan said he was "worried and upset" by the joint U.S.Soviet statement of Oct. 1. He said that In previous administrations, U.S. policy had been to keep the Russians out of the Middle East, He also took issue with the Carter Administration's support for a "Palestinian homeland."

Family Service Settles | World News Briefs Two Russian Families (Continued from Page 1) Forbes, secretary to Bob Lovett, took the call. It was from MAS. the Jewish resettlement agency. She was told that Omaha had six days to prepare for the arrival of Mark's -mother, Mrs. Sara Chausovsky, his inlaws, Dr. Osher and Mina Dolgin, and his brother-in-law, MishaDolgin. "1 couldn't believe my ears — six days when we normally get three weeks notice," Toby told the Jewish Press. And on top of everything. Bob Lovett was at home recovering from a bout with pneumonia and would not be back to work for two weeks. The community may not realize it, but there are literally hundreds of things to purchase, any many details to take care of before a family can be resettled properly. Under Bob's telephone direction, Carolyn Novlcolf, geriatrics specialist, and Toby, along with a number of volunteers swung into action. Nancy Greenberg, a member of Jewish Family Service's Board, took Mark's
wife, Galina, and part of the shopping list. Toby's husband, Marshall, Parn Epstein. Elaine Cohen. Terry Zacharia, Barbara Platt, Trudy Novak, Emily Ravits, and Norma Lovett, also volunteered their time and effort hi what became a race against the clock. Everything came together at the airport when the Russian families walked into the lobby — into the waiting arms of relatives and friends. Television cameras recorded the scene: Shirley Goldstein and Miriam Simon of the Omaha Soviet Jewry committee, with their Welcome to Omaha sign — Jack Saferstein, president of the Jewish Family Service Board, with a big smile and firm handshake, and Mike Platt, Mark's first employer, who helped with the luggage. There were tears aplenty, crys of Joy, and the expected tumult surrounding such a happy occasion. Jewish Family Service had done Its Job well. Everything necessary had been taken care of. All details had been
arranged — even to food in the new apartments and water in the teapots. Everything except one minor point... r The surprise twist that 1 mentioned earlier fits in here. Mark and Galina, accompanied by her parents and his mother, were hi one car, on their way to the new apartments at Benson Gardens. I followed them in my own car because I didn't know where the apartments were. Upon leaving the airport, Mark turned right toward Sioux City instead of left toward Omaha. Ten miles up the road, be stopped. I stopped. He came over to me and said, "Which way is Omaha?" I laughed. He laughed. We turned around, and treated the new arrivals to a round-about ride to Omaha. This' is the end of the story, but the beginning of a new life for some Russian Jews.

Cheers for Hebrew High About 100 Jewish boys and girls enrolled for fall semester classes at the Omaha High School of Jewish Studies. Classes began Wednesday at Beth Israel Synagogue. At registration, school principal Marlene Solomon and members of the faculty outlined the various courses that are available and discussed the opportunities for learning that )await the students. ^-v. Although some of the students enrolled at their parents' direction, this was not seen as. a hinderance to learning. The students recognize, we are certain, that they and the entire Jewish community will benefit from what is taught and what is learned. In this healthy environment, we trust that students and teachers alike will get to know and respect one another. This is a good opportunity for Jewish youngsters from Orthodox, Conservative and Reform backgrounds to get together and learn.
METULLA— If one heads up Into the northernmost tip of Israel the very last settlement Is the little village of Metulla. And at the end of the single main street, the very last house in Israel Is occupied by a young American couple, Eric'and Rivka Jacobs. It is a pleasant house. Several rooms are lined with books. Before it is a closely mowed lawn. The road does not come to a dead end there. It goes on, through a military barrier, to the Lebanese border, and then continues straight on. It is the international highway direct to Beirut. Some day Eric and Rivka hope to drive their car along that road through a countryside at peace. In the meantime, -they take for granted their exposed position. The normal life they lead is hardly in keeping with everyone's idea of - what it would be like to be the very last family, right at the border. Normal? Well, perhaps by Israel standards. Eric comes from Boulder, Colorado; Rivka is originally
from Utlca, New York. Degrees in philosophy and in English literture, respectively, would hardly seem to qualify therri for the pioneering life. Having completed their academic education in 1968 the young couple decided to come to Israel." It was a challenge to something out of the ordinary. During their six months studying Hebrew at an ulpan they resisted constant Invitations to teach English. They could, have remained in the U.S. to be teachers, they said. But when plans were developed for a ski lift at Mount Hermon, Eric leaped at the possibility. In Colorado he had practically
grown up on skis. The first year they lived in tents at the Ramat Shalom Mt. Hermon project. Despite all the hopes and ambitions and hard work that went into it, the venture failed, largely because of maladministration. Israel had no experience in running a ski center. Not even our Biblical ancestors had any traditions in this field. Their family had begun to grow, and Eric and Rivka were compelled to go Into teaching. But not Tel Aviv for them. They settled In KIryat Shmona, still in the shadow of the Hermon. Neither had ever done any farming, but agriculture loomed as a new
the Jewish Predicament Jewish organizations engaged in fighting anti-Semitism and protecting civil rights are now in a predicament. The question before them is: should they endorse physical fighting with the Nazis appearing in Jewish populated sections of a city in their full regalia to march under Nazi banners, or should they accept the argument of the American Civil Liberties Union — a liberal organization — that curbing Nazi demonstrations violates the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution which guarantees freedom of speech and of assembly. 'The ACLU has vigorously defended the riehts of Nazis in their recent-attempt to demonstrate in uniform and under the Nazi (tag in Skokie, a Chicago suburb where onehalf of the population of 90,000 is Jewish. As a result, more than2,000 members of the ACLU resigned from the organization and still more are considering resigning-after having supported the ACLU for many years. Most of the resignations came from liberalminded Jews. The leaders of the ACLU failed to recognize the fact that the'inciting antiJewish demonstrations by the pitiful group of Nazis is merely a method by them to attract coverage by radio, television and the American press which they cannot obtain by ordinary propaganda methods. Jewish organizations, which usually do not encourage physical encounters, found themselves besieged with demands for aggressive action against the American Nazis following the Skokie affair. Leading in these demands were former inmates of Nazi concentration camps who witnessed the annihilation of their relatives in the Nazi gas chambers, who fought the Nazis in the besieged Warsaw Ghetto and in ghettos in other cities. i But In addition to them, there was a new pjement of Jewish militants who demand physical confrontation with Nazis when they appear in Jewish sections of a city under sssi Thls-jjEC sS^seni consists at
When he gets back from a tiring day at school in KIryat Shmona, Eric heads for the orchards. He needs both mental and physical outlets, he says, and finds the latter in the. groves. Besides, it's peaceful there. Trees don't argue or talk back! No reflection on the teaching. Both of them, despite early forebodings, have found their school work rewarding, especially up here among Israelis who also live near the border and don't have all the benefits of urban life. Their two children, Joshua and Yael, are bilingual, but Rivka is slipping. During our conversation. In English, she more than once faltered and said: " . . . I forget how you say It in English..." Not far from the house are their Vh acres of peach, plum and apple orchards. Eric does most of the work himself, and the results show. Presumably the fruit' offered us was carefully selected, but never had we had sweeter, juicier, l a r g e r , more d e l i c i o u s peaches than those served In the last room of the last house in the last village in Israel.

challenge. In 1971, when there was opportunity to buy a house and land in Metulla, they leaped at it. No one else wanted that particular house — at the very end of nowhere, and potentially the first target. For the Jacobs, the location added to the thrill.
young American Jews — second and third generation - who while not witnessing the Holocaust, read and heard enough about the brutal annihlliatton by the Nazis of the 6,000,000 Jews in Europe. They loo demand more aggressive action against the American Nazis by American Jewish organizations.
Policy Modification In considering the Skokie developments — especially the stand taken toward the Skokie affair by the American Civil Liberties Union which the AJCommittce always supported — the leadership of the American Jewish Committee has how formed a subcommittee to more sharply define the organization's position on Nazi rights under the First Amendment. This will include a definition of the parameters of permissible"activity in openly countering Nazi activity in the UnitedStates. The subcommittee will also develop new,, legal strategies to counter Nazi programs.' Recommendations to this effect will be brought for discussion to the AJCommlttee National Executive Council which meets In Atlanta at the end of this month. It can be predicted that the recommendations will suggest that: 1: The organization should now support a narrower construction of what, is permitted

Consequently, I was totally unprepared for my first visit to the Ak-Sar-Ben Radio Club which now m&ts regularly at the JCC. With Leo Meyerson as president, the club has hundreds of members and at least 200 of them attended the President's Night meeting last week. - The club is now in the process of setting up a ham radio station at the Center, and i t , won't be long before Omaha will be talking with* the world from the JCC.

The elderly often find it very difficult to adjust their eyes from glare la darker, more subdued light. In old age homes, they discovered elevators that prevent a wheelchair from turning around inside and dining rooms fitted with a few steps "for no reason." The Jerusalem project will have low handrails with recessed lighting, soundabsorbing carpets and easily accessible communal facilities like a kitchen, dining room, synagogue and a lounge for activities ranging from physical therapy to lectures. "The elderly love to have their children and grand-
children visit, but they haven't the room or the strength to put them up or feed them," says Flamm. The planners will design guest rooms within the complex that relatives could rent as if they were in a hotel but for a lower price. Although architects prefer that rooms be sized uniformally, the flats will vary in size to suit the tenants. "The people who have joined have different needs. There are many rabbis, authors and professionals who will remain active and need study space," Mrs. Margolin points out. The apartments will be unfurnished so residents can bring along the personal possessions collected through the years. Although many are immigrants from the U.S. and Canada, registration is open to anyone of the proper age.
