Israel concerned Arabs may unite over Soviet immigration to Israel By GU Sedan aMlHa^C^el JERUSALEM (JTA)Isrseii offidala are concemed that the normally discordant Arab worid wfil unite over the iasna of large-scale Soviet immi^atioo to Israel and form a new military alliance against the Jewiah state. At the center of their ooooem is Jordan, whkJi has taken the iMd againat the maaeive immiipration wave.
Reports from Amman over the weekend disclosed that Jordan has rsached an agreement with Iraq to form a joint air force fighter squsdron. While laraali offidals aresakl to be not unduly diaturbed by the reports, they are nevertheless hsunted by the "posaibility that an eeatera alliance will be formed and that it wiD introduce a large militaiy force ktto thia area," a military eouroeeaid.
Both Defense Minieter Yitzhak Rabin and Gen. Dan Shomron, the Isrsel Detaiae Force, chief of Btaff, have dismieeed the mihteiy threet of en IraqiJotdaidan air aqoadron, but not the loagitrm impBcatfane of cooperation Iwtwasn Arab statee. Jordan is desperately eeeUng the eunwrt (4 fMkm. Arab statee out of feer thet Israel wm settle large numbers of Soviet Jews in the Weet Bank. King Hus-
sein is quite aware that this has not yet happened, regafdiese ol the meaeive influx of Jews from the Sc^ Viet Unkm hi the peat year. But he feels threatened by the poeeibility that large numbers of immigranU will aettle \a the territory, attracted by the cheap housing Isrsel makee available bi the Weet Bank, compared to the high cost in Israel proper.
U.S. sees little hope Soviets will okay direct flights By Devld Frledauu and Howerd Rusanharg WASHINGTON WTA) - The Soviet Union is refusing to hiatitute direct flights between Moecow andIerael.atltwtforthe immediate fuiurs, Buah administration offidals and Jewish leaders have confirmed. But they sakl the United SUtss is still hoping to persuade Moecow to implement an agreement on direct flighte signed last fall by £1 Al laraal AirUnee and
its Soviet counterpart, Aeroflot. Secretary of States James Baker raiaad the issue with Soviet offidala during his recent visit to Moeoow, but the "Sovk* response to Secretary Baker waa not enoourag' ing," SUU Department spoksewQBUHi Maigaret TutwOer itM. She wouU not reveal what the Soviets actually laid. At the White House, spokswaan Merlin Fitswater eakl that the United
Sutes is "disappointed" that thqr have not approved direct flights, "but we are hopeful that they mey still hsve them." He saul dirsct flights "would be helpful hi increaafaig the number of Soviet emigranta to larael. Mertin Wenick, encutivs director of the National Conference on Soviet Jewry, who just returned from the Soviet Unka,eaklhawaatoklby Soviet Foreign Ministry
offidals that the proepecta for direct flights are not encouraging. The Soviet unwillingness to faistituU the El AlAeroflot sgrsement Is believed to be in part the r%: suit of preesuie tmn 1 nations. The Arsbe hav been lobbying the Sov to curtail Jewish 1 tlon, becauae they fear Israel will settle the new iromlgrants in the Weet Bank and Gaxa Strip, thereby fordng out the Palesthiisns.

The question ia this: Is ihsn anything intereBting to say about somebody who will observs his 60th high school reunioo this year? Isit fab-tomake light of the entire subject? Is it quite cridcBt to find hmnor in the tw* that somebody has been out of Ceotral for 60 years? Is it neoestary to aslc if he wants to "attend with sD of those old peopk?" itUnk theee are reasonable questions. I also think it's safe to attack this tt^ic because this column is scheduled to ^Sipear OB the last Friday in Febraaiy, and the cdebrant iriO be oat of town and m«ybe not ever see it! So vdu is it? My roonunate, of cours»-id>o else? WeD. actually, a lot <^ you out there. And as a matter of fact, many of you have always lived here in town and will no doubt be doing the same talking—like, "Is it possible? INd I reaUy finish my hi^ school career that long ago?" I can lemsmber clearly an incident that happened about 18 years ago, whenn^ brother-in^w, ofbleesed mtmory, partie^wted in the same kind of half century celebnikm:. We giggled and joked and carried oo—we thoiight it hilarious that he and his friends were going to theee partiee and reminiscing over teachers and claaaes and other such stuff. It seemed Uke such a long way off until we would be ddngthe same thing. Now here we are, in what seems like just a few winks of the eye, a^iroaching the BIG BEUNION. Whether or not well actually attad is still a mpot question. The last time I asked, the answer was somemag like. "Go? What for? What wiU I do there? Ia it nsoceeary?" Butxtf course that's the way he approaches maqy social events to which he's been invited, so I den't pay a lot of attention. <This may not be the q)propriate jdaee to add this tidbit but I will anyway: this same man who never wantaito go anyplace is invariably the one who has the bast time and who has to be dragged away at going home ttme. You se^ my life is not all beer andskittiesl) trtStMriut do you suppose happens at one of these half eentuiy reunions? What do th^ talk about? After you Salah the running emnmentary on how many chikhen you have and what their aooompiidunents are and where they live, what's next? Oh, the grandchfldren. I guess. In fact, I remember going to one of theee bashes some years aBO and there was a prise given to the peraon witb the greatsst number of grandktdsl Sesms as tfabngh recognitian shooU have been for accnmplishmanta which nqubed brains or skills or talents, but whst thehsck-I can be generous. Ikfaid of hope nqr fella chooses to gp to the BIG riFTY. I want to see some of theee people whoos shining, yoothfU faces kMk out from the pagea o( the IMO OAoak.

Israel TV tackles Jewisii^rab co-existence 'the Warrior's House' •^ntero was thia chance meeting with EOcn Albin io the ^nw^y of the Jewi^ Conunimity Caoter. She quidtljr nached into her briefcaae and pulled oot a Hadneih newa ralaaae aakhig me to conaukr naing . it in the JewUi Prcaa. I looked at the photo acconqianying the release and my immediate reaction was to loolc away. I was upset at the photo of an Isradi sddier who is undergoing reconstructive surgery on his hands and face. I ejQierienced the same reaction recently when television broadcast footage of the young boy whoee face was deformed as a result of a fire set by his father. This was not pleasant to look at dther. I apologize for my own inadequacies, but I guess our society's constant need to present beautiful faces and beautUiil, youthful pec^e to sell products has done its job on me.

(Continned bom Page 4) Most Russian Jews who go to Israel in the'90s would prefer to come to America but will not be able to do so because of the U.S. quota on Russian Jews. Therefore it ia eesential that we find new and creative ways to ensure that these new immigrants find Israel ready, willing and able to provide thiem with the oppratunity to become productive, reaponsible dtiaens. I^adltianally, American Jews have been asked to give money to Israel to hdp siqiport an economy whidh is not strong enough to mahitain defenae and bdld itself. These dimatiaas from wold Jewry have funded the desert's bloom accomplished with Israeli blood, sweat, patience and love. The fi^t for Israd's economic viability in the 1990s is a struggle which every Jew can partidpate in without any personal material cost lUs means that our abit ity to strengtiwB Israel aoddly should not diminish as we promote Israel eccnomically in the American market All of us purchase childm's clothing, educational gamee and toys for our families. Additicmally, because Israd cannot afford to rsly on other countries for parts and products, it has developed quite an after^market industry for automc^ile parta, along with security systems, food products and Ugb-tech indnstrles. While some of these products are not qiedfically consumer, how many of ua know peoi^ around the country who are in the auto parts business? Are there 60 or 100 Jewish auto parta diatzibutors in the United States, and what about Jewish grocers and food distributes? All of these people can anid must particqiate in the attitude adjustment which sajrs, ^If Ivael makes a prednet that ia eqoivalMt sad if the price k oomparable, then It destfves our special consideration." Whether as buyers or marketers of Isradi products, we strengthen Israel at no cost to us, a benefit to Isrsel, Russian Jewry and American Jewry. "Where do I find Israeli products?," you ask. "How can I help?" I hope you are wondering. Would you be surprised to find there is not an Israeli commercial officer at the Consulate? If you want to help right now, you probably cannot. Yet I am an optimist, and I bdieve that in the future, American Jews will have good opportunities to find low-tech and tiigh-tech Israeli products coming into America needing your marketing assistance.

By Cathriae Gene* JERUSALEM (JTA)Althougfa many Jews are fearful and fed intimidated, there have been no reports of phydcd violence against Jews in the Soviet Union, according to membera of a United Jewish Appeal ddegatimi that just arrived here from Moscow. Thiit was the case at least up to a wedc ago, the UJA leaders reported. On Fd>. 13, while the UJA group Was in the Soviet Unitm, the Moscow newspapo-Trad reported that Jewish apartaents in the Ukrainian city of Kharkov wan broken bto and that about 30 Jawa then wen beaten. Bat the Ttnd report has not been independently confirmed, Marvin I lendtTi Mrituwi ehairman-elect of the
UJA, told Israab end foreign journalists hen that his delegation got much of its information about the state of Soviet Jaws from the Va'ad, the recently established ambreQa organisation representing more than 200 Soviet Jewish oommunitiiw and organizations fron^ the Baltic to Siberia. Lender reported that Va'ad represoitativBS informed the visiting Americans at meetings in Riga and Moscow that "idthou^ then havB been no incidents of physical violence againat Soviet Jews as yet, then are regvdar and frMjoeat intimidation attempts against Jews kno«ra to be waiting for an exit viaa or ticket to IsrasL" Lender sakl ha himadf felt intimidated when the
UJA groiq>, touring the oU Jewish gM^to in Riga, noticed it was bdng followed by. two men in a car. "Although no physical violence actually took place, we certainly fdt very intimidated," he said. He said local Jews told them of several similar incidents which "created nervousness and fear among the Jews," though no one was physically assaulted. Lender is chairman of OperatioD Exodus, a special UJA campaign aiined at raiafaig 1420 million over the next three years to h^ Israd absorb Jew^ ish immigrants from the Soviet Union. An additiood $180 mOikn is being raised in Diaqxm oonmmnities other than the United States by Keren Hayeaod.
Diplomat says he hopes reforms will persuade Soviet Jews to stay PHOENIX (JTA) Whiki"no obstadea exist anymora" for Soviet Jews who want to emigrate, then are inducements for the great majority of Jews in the Sovkt Union to stsy, a Soviet diplomat told an audience of American Jewish community leaders here Sunday. Oleg Dericovsky, first secretary of the Soviet Embaasy in Washington, addressed mon than 500 delegates attending the annual {denary seedon of the National Jewish Community Rdations Advisory Council. He shared the platform with Sen. Dennis DeCoodni(D-Ariz.),whoaaidthe United SUtos is cloee to acting on a wdver of trade sanctions contained in the 1975 Jackson-Vanik Amendment, "because of the Soviet Union's dramatic relaxation of emigration laws." "Assuming the 10 remaining refuseniks are dkmed to leaver I beUeve we should consider a ooa-year waiver," aakl the senator,
who chain the U.S. Commisdon (m Security and Coopo^tion in Europe, which moniton conq;>lianoe with the Helsinki human rights accords. Derkbvsky expressed hope thst chsnges in Soviet law regaling reiigiotts and culturd axpression would encourage Soviet Jews to fulfill thdr aqurations in the Soviet Unkm. He said draft legislation
