"As a performing musician I find it impossible to understand how the Soviet
government, which has nurtured some of the greatest performing artists of our time.
can now devote its energies to the destruction of Valery Panne, whose only crime
is his desire to join his relatives in Israel."
Bar-Illan, now a resident of New York City, asserted - "If the Sovi . et government
feels that its investment in Panov's training is too great to forfeit, my colleagues in
the arts and I shall be only too willing to raise the necessary funds to reimburse you,
although we are convinced that Panov's artistic contribution to the USSR has more
than compensated for whatever the Soviet government has invested in him. -

Terrorist Sentenced to Heath
for Jerusalem Grenade Killing
TEL AVIV (JTA) — An Arab terrorist who threw a hand grenade
into a group of tourists in. East Jerusalem last fall killing an Arab
girl and injuring 13 persons, was sentenced to hang by a military tri-
bunal in Lydda Monday.
The sentence was one of the rare instances of capital punishment
in Israel where it is outlawed except for a military tribunal with at
least two jurists on the panel.
The court imposed the maximum penalty after the defendant, 21-
year-old Shahed Hassan. who lives near Hebron, failed to show' the
slightest remorse for his crime
According to the charges. Hassan carried a grenade to Jerusalem
for the purpose of causing as much bloodshed as possible
The prosecutor said he followed a group cf tourists on their way
to the Western Wall last Rosh Hashana eve and hurled the grenade
into their midst as they walked through one of the narrow streets in
the ('Id City. The girl kilied was a passerby.

MIAMI BEACH (JTA)—The Democratic Party Wednesday morning overwhelm-
ingly accepted a five-point plank on the Middle East offered by its platform commit-
tee, but a move to provide additional American protection for Israel against possible
Soviet military threats ran into unexpected opposition and barely received the con-
vention's approval.
In a surprising turn of events during the final minutes of the unbroken 11-hour
session that lasted through the night, the weary delegates adopted by a voice vote a
proposal that says the American government should land forces in Europe and naval
power in the Mediterranean to "deter" the Soviet Union from putting "unbearable
pressure" on Israel.
Without previously having been scheduled to debate the proposal, a 24-year-old
community organizer from Salt Lake City, Fred Dedrick, attacked it as a "Kissinger-
type confrontation tactic of the cold war." His impassioned opposition drew heavy sup-
port in the voice vote, and when the temporary chairman, Mrs. Yvonne Brathwaite
Burke, a Los Angeles attorney, ruled the proposal had been accepted, a roll call was
demanded from the floor.
Twenty per cent of the delegates present are required to affirm a roll call. When
Mrs. Burke asked the delegates in favor of a poll to stand, it appeared, however, that
less than a score among the approximately 3,000 delegates rose, and the proposal was
adopted.
The sequence of events that led to the dramatic climax did not go according to
a reported agreement among managers of the rival presidential candidates, and prin-
cipally between those of Sen. George McGovern and Henry M. Jackson.
The Middle East plank as adopted by the platform committee in Washington two
weeks ago declared that a Democratic administration "should" make and carry out a
$3,150,000 Allocated 16 Agencies
From Allied Jewish Campaign Funds
Allocations totaling $3.450,000 from the Allied Jewish Campaign have been
approved for 16 Detroit services and programs and for later distribution to a num-
ber of national agencies by the board of governors of the Jewish Welfare Federation.
This is part of the total of $14,171,000 raised during the just-concluded 1972
Allied Jewish Campaign-Israel Emergency Fund, according to Alan E. Schwartz.
president of the Federation.
An unprecedented record sum in excess of $9,700,-
000 is to be distributed to the United Jewish Appeal and
the Israel Emergency Fund for use overseas and for other
Israeli beneficiary organizations.
Allocations to local agencies are based on estimates
of their operational budget deficits for 1972-73. as projected
by each agency's budget committee and hoard of directors.
Requests for funds are reviewed in detail by mem•
hers of the Federation's community relations, health and
welfare and education divisions. Their recommendations
are then submitted to the executive committee and the
board of governors of Federation.
Ten agencies and services in the health and welfare
division. the largest Federation division, were allocated
$1,141,531, an increase of about $71.000 over the 1971-72

While Democrats were wrangling over

is the transformation in Jewish voters'

In 1968 it was speculated that Richard
M. Nixon received not more than 15 tier
cent of "the Jewish vote"--that contro-
