JERUSALEM (JTA) — Israel's
Cabinet heard a report at its week-
ly session Sunday about the recent
spate of El Fatah terrorist infiltra-
tions into Israel which resulted in
two Israeli reprisal raids into Jor-
dan. Despite the fact that the re-
cent El Fatah raids showed they
had originated in Jordan, the Cab-
inet was informed that the enemy
attacks had been "guided and in-
spired" by Syria "who is the main
trouble maker against Israel."
The report stated that "Israel
cannot absolve from responsibility
the countries who lend their ter-
ritories to gangs that carry out
raids into Israel."
Even while the Cabinet was
meeting, information was received
that two charges of explosives were
discovered at the Israeli settlement
of Kfar Giladi, in the north, near
the Lebanese border. The explo-
sives were of the type used by El
Fatah. Israeli police took apart the
explosives, and traced tracks from
the site where these had been found
leading to the Lebanese border. A
complaint was filed by Israel with
the United Nations Israel-Lebanese
Mixed Armistice Commission.
The reprisal raids were car-
ried out by two Israeli military
units who had crossed into Jor-
dan shortly before Friday mid-
night. After evacuating the per-
sons living in homes marked as
targets, the Israelis blew up 14

as bases for some of the recent
El Fatah raiders into Israel.
Three of the Israeli soldiers suf-
fered minor wounds in the raids
against Kalayat and Hirbeit from
which the Fatah commandos had
operated in recent days. The first
Israeli unit crossed the Jordan
River near Bet Shaanan, and blew
up four houses in Kalayat, includ-
ing the home of the mayor. The
troops concentrated their efforts
on houses whose inhabitants were
1, own to have aided the El Fatah
raiders. Israeli officials said that
saboteurs who recently blew up
houses in Beit Yosef village came
from Kalayat.
The second unit moved into
Hirbeit, south of Mount Hebron,
and ran into fire from Jordanian
police stations which was si-
lenced by Israeli mortars.
At a press conference Chief of
Staff Yitzhak Rabin said that civil
guards in the Jordanian villages
resisted and suffered a number of
losses. He added that, despite the
resistance, "our forces scrupulous-
ly observed directives to evacuate
civilians and even distributed
sweets to the children."
He said Israel had no desire to
raise tensions in the Middle East,
but did not want Jordan to take ef-
fective measures against the El
Fatah raiders. He said Syria was
"the only Arab nation openly sup-
porting this terrorist organization,
but our principle remains that the
country from which terrorists op-
erate is responsible for their ac-
tions. This does not lessen Syrian
responsibility, however."
The Israeli communique noted

U.S. Supreme Court Shuns Appeal
by Orthodox Cemetery Over Reburial

(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)

WASHINGTON — The United
States Supreme Court has refused
to hear an appeal by an Orthodox
Jewish cemetery in Youngstown,
O., which sought to prevent a dis-
interment order.
The Children of Israel Ceme-
tery has, since May 1963, resisted
efforts by relatives to disinter the
remains of Bertha Tamarkin Hese-
lov and her brother, Isadore Ta-
markin, for reburial in Rodef
Sholom Cemetery. Rodef Sholom
Cemetery is operated by a Reform
congregation.
Mrs. Heselov was buried in 1934.
Her brother was buried in the same
cemetery in 1939. Relatives decided
to remove the remains for reburial
near next of kin. When the Ortho-
dox authorities refused, a court
case ensued.
Ohio courts ruled in favor of the
relatives, citing testimony of the
rabbi of the Reform congregation
that Jewish law permits reinter-
ment "if the dead is to be rein-
terred among his own."
The Orthodox argument was that
Jewish law prohibits removal of a
body except under certain specific
conditions. Removal under circum-
stances pertaining in Youngstown,
said the Orthodox spokesman,
would be "an insult to the soul."
The relatives filed suit under
the Ohio statute that compels
cemetery managers to permit
disinterment on application of
the deceased's next of kin. The
Ohio Supreme Court upheld
lower courts in the state. The
Orthodox appeal for review was
rejected, the court maintained

that no constitutional question
was involved.
Attorneys for the Orthodox ceme-
tery then appealed to the U.S. Su-
preme Court. They questioned
whether Ohio laws were applied in
violation of the constitution of free
exercise of religion. They said that
a "decision as to the constitution-
ality of particular laws which
strike at the substance of religious
tenets and practices must be
made." The attorneys pointed out
that "to the Orthodox Jew, a deep
religious significance attends to
burial.
"Burial, like marriage, birth and
confirmation, are basic tenets of a
religion, the absence or denial of
which would give religion no sig-
nificance or efficacy whatsoever."
In refusing to hear the case, the
Supreme Court noted that it felt
it had no jurisdiction.

during the past three weeks two
acts of sabotage in the Negev
and Mount Hebron and one act
at Bet Shaanan in Galilee. In
one of the El Fatah actions, near
the Rock of Masada, which is vis-
ited daily by hundreds of tour-
ists, a truck carrying a load of
children narrowly escaped hit-
ting a mine. A lorry with Israeli
soldiers ran over the mine, but
no one was hurt.
The regular Israeli convoy to
Mount Scopus, the Israeli enclave
in Jordanian territory in the Jeru-
salem area, was halted this week-
end by Jordanian border guards.
The guards contended that the
convoy included an "unwanted
member." Under the Israeli- Jor-
danian armistice agreement, Israel
is entitled to change the police
guard and to send supplies to the
enclave, which contains the aban-
doned buildings of the old Hebrew
University campus and Hadassah
Hospital. The issue was referred
to United Nations truce officers
and it was hoped the convoy would
leave for Mount Scopus next week.
In a related development Mah-
moud Hidjazi, an Arab infiltrator
captured in 1965, once sentenced
to death and this year given a new
trial, was found guilty by an Is-
raeli military court of shooting at
Israeli forces, being a member of
an El Fatah gang of saboteurs, and
carrying arms. However, the court
acquitted him, for lack of proof, of
a charge of throwing a. hand gre-
nade at Israeli forces. The man
had been captured after an unsuc-

cessful El Fatah raid near the Jor-
danian border. In the last trial, the
prosecutor demanded a sentence
of life imprisonment. After finding
the man guilty on the three counts,
the court Friday handed down its
sentence.
Syrians Fire on Israelis;
U.S. Visualizes Danger
TEL AVIV (JTA)—Syrian gun
posts opened fire against Israelis
again Monday night, culminating a
weekend of border violence along
the borders of all four hostile Arab
areas—Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and
Gaza.
(In Washington, official sources
revealed that the American am-
bassadors in Israel and Jordan have
urged restraint on the two govern
meets in the wake of recent border
friction. The United States was de-
picted as carefully observing de-
velopments with a view to possible
escalation. However, the Syrian-Is-
rael frontier was seen in Washing-
ton as potentially more dangerous
than the Jordan-Israel border be-
cause of the extremist tendencies
of the Damascus authorities.)

JERUSALEM (JTA) — Jerusa-
lem police reported that unknown
vandals, believed to be members of
the ultra-Orthodox Neturei Karta,
ripped down an Israeli flag from a
home in the Mea Shearim quarter
here.
The vandals tore the flag to
shreds and wrote on the door of
the home "Zionists, Go Home," and
"Down. with the State of Israel."
Police said they still had not found
the vandals.

French Gestapo Agent
Sentenced to Death

PARIS, (JTA) — The State Se-
curity Court sentenced to death
Jean Barbier, a French national
who was a Gestapo official during
the occupation of France and who
was charged with torture and mur-
der of hundreds of Jews and anti-

Nazis.
Condemned to death in absentia
after France's liberation, Barbier
lived peacefully for years in Mar-
seilles under an assumed name.
In 1961 a police probe of charges
of brutality to a 13-year-old gir"
were filed against him. His identil
was revealed but a Marseilles miA -
itary tribunal accorded him "pro-
visional liberty." Apparently fear-
ing that survivors might kill him,
Barbier asked for and received
imprisonment in Marseilles.

Pro-Arab Picketers
March Against Zionists

TORONTO (JTA)—A group of
pro-Arab pickets demonstrated at
a hotel in London, Ont., in protest
against the 27th conference of the
Central Region of the Zionist Or-
ganization of Canada. The demon-
stration was believed to be the
first such picketing of a Canadian
Zionist meeting.
The dozen pickets aid they rep-
resented the Canadian Friends of
the Middle East. Most of them had
come from other parts of Ontario
for the demonstration. Their lead-
er, James Peters, a lecturer at Ry-
erson Polytechnical Institute in
Toronto, explained the group's ac-
tivities during a television inter-
view. He argued that Zionists
should be barred from holding con-
ferences just as Toronto neo-Nazis
were prevented from making pub-
lic addresses.
A heavy rainfall led the pickets
to disperse several hours before
the arrival of the Zionist delegates.
Mayor Stronach, in his greetings to
the conference, apologized for the
"discourtesy" and disavowed the
pickets.
