A number of inquiries have been received about the Jewish Press's lack of coverage of the ka&brut controversy and the proceedings of the Beth Din which heard testimony in Omaha Feb. 27 and 28,1978. Thus, this letter of explanation follows: The Jewish Press has been prohibited from publishing anything regarding the controversy or the proceedings by a formal agreement entered Into by all parties. The agreement states, In part: "The Jewish Press shall publish no letter or article concerning the merits or issues involved In this controversy until said Beth Din has reached its final decision^ Thereafter, however, it shall publish the written decision of the Beth Din. In addition, and unless and until the Beth Din shall direct otherwise, no party hereto shall make any public announcement or endeavor to have others do so on their behalf concerning the merits or issues involved in this controversy." When the Beth Din, the Rabbinical Court of Justice of the Associated Synagogues of Massachusetts, concluded its hearing in Omaha Feb. 28, a spokesman for the court said that a Judgment would be rendered hi the near future. At that time, the Jewish Press will print the judgment of the Court, as well as some other background material about the Beth Dln./< -v Jewish Federation of Omaha Paul Alperson, Silvia Roffman; Co-Chalrman, Jewish Press Committee

The most common comment was "can I have some more cards?" This was the exciting mood generated as the Men's Telethon got underway. The volunteer workers from the department boards contacted hundreds of people in the first two Telethon sessions Sunday and Monday. Over $36,000 was raised. • The volunteers worked Sunday morning, Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday nights. They are also working this Suadsy morning. Their hope is to give everyone In the Omaha Jewish'Community an opportunity-to participate In the Campaign. The volunteers are

The military affairs editor of the Omaha World-Herald said that last week's terrorist attack on Innocent civilians in Israel underscores the position that negotiations cannot take place with the Palestine Liberation Organization. "I hope that every American — Jew and hon Jew — feels the same way," said Howards. Sllber. Mr. Sllber and his wife, the former Harriet (Sissy) Katelman, were vacationing in Israel when the attack took place. "Our tour bus was headed toward Herzliya, a suburb of Tel Aviv . . . We were about six miles from the attack point when our bus was stopped by a roadblock." Howard S.

spending'their time because they want every Jew in Omaha to be contacted personally. "The Talmud tells us not to separate ourselves from the Community" said Conrad Kol-' ler, Federation staff person, working with the Telethon. "While this is an Injunction on each of us, the Community also has an obligation to reach out." "By participating In the Campaign, Jews do two things" said Leon Wintroub, chairman of the Telethon. "First they say that they can be counted on as Jews, and second they share what they can monetarily with Jews in ijsrael and the 21 other countries around the world." ^ The Telethon hopes to raise $53,000.

International Prison Asked To Reduce Terrorist Risks WASHINGTON - Senator John Heinz (R., Pa.) has called for an international prison for terrorists "to prevent future terrorist blackmail." Addressing a Conference on Terrorism sponsored by the American Jewish Congress in the Senate Office Building, Senator Heinz said that many countries were reluctant to Jail terrorists "because they then risk terrorist attacks and blackmail to obtain the prisoners' release. "A prison outside of any single nation's control would reduce these risks," he said in urging that provision for such a jail be Included In the Omaha Mayor Al Veys (left) presents "Mayor's Trophy"for safety promotion to Rlchman Gord- Rlbicoff anti-terrorist bill (Sman president Dan Oordman.

terrorism — Including the cancellation of direct commercial flights between the U.S. and any country that aids and abets air hijackers. Ambassador Heyward 'Isham, director of the Office for Combatting Terrorism at the Department of State, told the American Jewish Congress conference that any governmental program to prevent air terrorism required "a firm policy against making concessions to hijackers, clear lines of governmental authority for crisis management and more effective International cooperation against terrorism." Ambassador Isham proposed a four-point "program for International anti-terrorist cooperation" calling for (1) denial of sanctuary to hijackers; (2) adoption of the United Nations convention against the taking of hostages; (3) tightening airport security within the framework of International civil aviation rules; (4) exchanging information on terrorist organizations and advance warning of suspected terrorist activity.

Ribicoff Warns In his address at the American Jewish Congress conference. Senator Abraham Ribicoff (D., Conn.) warned

that the Government "must be prepared for any possibility, including terrorism with nuclear weapons. We have to have a flexible system and instant access to our top officials in the Executive Branch," he declared, adding: "We need to connect management of terrorist incidents with our civil emergencies management systems. And we need more training and simulation. Those best equipped to manage crises are those with experience and with contingency plans; we must be prepared to act effectively. "On the international level, we must make public a list of unsafe airports for the benefit of the American traveler. And as a matter of foreign policy — whether by mandatory sanctions or simply by toughening up — we must Isolate and deny air traffic to countries which aid and abet terrorism. "I am convinced that we can control terrorism. We need to understand it, we have to organize to protect ourselves, and we have to staff that organization with expert managers. "We can deny the terrorist the chance to subvert our society and the Western world. The more we know about this and are prepared to act rationally, the better we are." -

In the absence of a clear-cut majority, this usually led to protracted negotiations for setting up of a municipal coalition. Deals in one city very frequently affected results in another. For example, Labor would agree to support (be mayoralty candidate ot the National Religious Party In City X, If the NHP council members in City ¥ would rapport too Labor candidate there. Hie Instructions were banded down from national political headquarters to conform with what was considered overriding party considerations, but with very little concern for what was good for the city, or even the will of the electorate. All this will be changed as a result of the Knesset decision last year calling for direct elections of the mayor. Thus, a municipal mayor need not even be a member of any major political party, but if and when he takes office he wouldn't get very far without the support of a political machine in his City Council.

The reaction of the American press and people forecasts tough Congressional questioning of ihe Administration's proposed package arms deal for Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Israel, But s=y suggestion that JKvisS exposition would be primarily responsible is dissipated by the paradox that newspapers with substantial Jewish readership editorially support the Administration. Thus, The New York Times, Feb. 16, argues that Israel "cannot hope to remain indefinitely superior to its potential enemies in all forms of military power" and contends that the sales to the Arabs can "contribute" to the peacemaking process by "strengthening a moderate Saudi regime." The Los Angeles Times doubts that the Saudis would risk their "sssspsraJiveiy SRiail military fcrces'iansS their highly vulnerable oil establishments by . . . a direct military challenge to Israel."

The Detroit News, on Feb. 10, reasoned that ''the Arabs obviously d e s e r v e . . . sufficient arms to defend themselves . . . but not enough to gain superiority over Israel," which might tempt them to wage war. The Detroit Free Press, six days later, cautioned that we should not allow Israel's present advantage to slip away "until there are better Indications that Israel will not be, once again, subjectedtomassive attack." The Dallas Times Herald doubted the wisdom of the arms exports, while The Boston Globe called it "throwing gasoline on fires." The Atlanta Constitution described the project as "a little honest bribery aimed at Influencing attitudesand policies," and onserved that "selling advanced armstoIsrael's enemies would not make sense otherwise." _" • , *.* **i **«t6i-.-----".

The Washington Post believes It would have been "more sensible"todelay all three sales until the negotiating process was "more firmlybackonthetrack." Much more emphatic, The Washington Star believes that the American people view Israel "as a vulnerable nation-. .*. committed to our political institutions and values and, not least, aji unfailing oily." Thr ntianaistration is "arguing with history, which is always a risky business" on the basis of a "few weeks of uncertain improvement in a political climate of great volatility." The Baltimore Sun, on Feb. 17, warns that if either Israel's survival or Middle East peace eZforts are "damaged by this enhancement of Arab a!r power," President Carter will have "a major foreign policy failure for whichtoanswer." The Miami Herald, on Feb. 16, notes "an Alice-ln-Wonderland quality" and asks whether anyone but ihe Mad Hatter would "soberly" say that the way to "preserve the peace" istoarm both sides with the "most sophisticated means of destruction." It is "fatuous" to presume that Arab countries would not unite against Israel. Columnist Nick Thimmesch Indicts the "most senseless move in town this week" and whimsically suggests that we might sell the F-15's to Egyptains, who could then trade them to Israel for the bulldozers which are building "controversial settlements" in Sinai. Columnist Clayton Fritchey quotes reports that Egypt has been receiving planes, tanks, missiles and self-propelled guns from the Soviet Union since the 1973 war and through 1977.

In the past, with few exceptions, first rale political personnel preferred to serve in the national Knesset. One exception Is Teddy Kollek, mayor of Jerusalem, who stands head and shoulders above all other municipal beads In the country. Though nominally a member of the Labor parry, be Is generally considered an Independent. He hews to no political line tea <tewa by the party wfcteSj he does not consider In the best interests of Jerusalem. It would be futile to run against him. Since the death of Abba Khoushy, Haifa has had mediocre leadership or less. The abrupt departure of Yosef Almogi, after he had enthusiastically been, elected mayor, served only to accentuate the plight of the city politically. The various parties are still unable to find suitable candidates to challenge the traditional Labor control of City Hall. Tel Aviv's Mayor Shlomo Lahat, a Likud man, has been subjected to much Labor sniping during his term of office, but appears likely to be returned to City Hall.

No Change? ATLANTA (JTA) - Robert Guyton, president oi the National Bank of Georgia, has told the Jewish community here there would be no restrictions on the brink's dealings with any country, Including Israel, as a result of its purchase by Saudi Arabian entrepreneur Ghaith Pharaon. In addition, Pharaon himself was quoted in the Atlanta Journal as saying, "We would . welcome: the Jewish community in this country doing business with us, because it is only by closer understanding and communication that we can solve much of our differences and problems,". •. However, concern on the part of some of the bank's Jewish customers was arous' ed when the Atlanta Journal also quoted Pharaon as saying, "We are restricted now from doing business with Israel by the Palestinians and boycott problems. But once these are lifted, I don't see any reason why I shouldn't be dealing with Israel." In an exclusive interview with the Southern Israelite, Guyton said that Pharaon's statement about restrictions referred to his Saudi Interests, not the bank's. Pharaon has purchased 120,0(10 shares or 60 percent of Bert Lance's stock in this city's fifth largest bank. Lance was director of the Office of Management and Budget in the Carter Administration before he was forced to resign last year.
