Two Women Hijackers Are Given Life Terms,
TEL AVIV (JTA) — The Israeli
military tribunal imposed life sea-
tences Monday on both Rana
Tannous and Therese Khalsa, the
two women accused of taking part
in the Sabena Airlines hijacking
at Lydda Airport at the beginning
of May.
The tribunal cons icted the wom-
en on three of the four charges
against them.
They received life imprisonment
sentences for participating in a
group that committed offenses
using weapons; and bearing wea-
pons, hand grenades and explo-
sives.
On the charge of membership in
an illegal organization, they were
each given 10 years imprisonment.
Both women were acquitted on a
count of planting a bomb.
In handing down its verdict,
the tribunal said that the two
women bad tried to pretend that
they were unaware of the hijack-
ing mission before the terrorist
acts were carried out, However,
their testimony could not stand
up to the facts introduced by
the prosecution which the court
accepted.
Moreover, the court had d dis-
covered that both women had
joined the terrorist organization of
their own free will, and that they
carried out their part in the hi-
jacking of their own volition.

NEW ORK (JTA)—Dr. Alvin
Lashinsky, past president of the
Queens Jewish Community Coun-
cil,said the council was willing to
accept "a compromise that the
community would acc"pt" it the
controversy over an 840-unit low-
income housing project row under
construction in the predominantly
Jewish Forest Hills section of
Queens.
lie said he viewed the Cuomo re-
port. issued last month, which sug-
gested halving the number of
apartments, as "a beginning in the
quest for understanding and com-
promise" the controversy, but
he also accused Mayor John V.
Lindsay of "not acting in good
faith" in the dispuate,
Lashinsky said the mayor has
"absolutely refused" to meet with
the council. He also attacked Lind-
say for the "acceleration of build-
ing" on the project.
The compromise plan was sub-
mitted July 26 to -Mayor Lindsay
by Mario M. Cuomo, an attor-
ney named by the mayor to in-
vestigate the disputed project and
propose revision which might be
acceptable to both proponents
and opponents of the currently
scheduled 840-family apartments
in three 24-story buildings.
Dr. Stanley Dacher, executive
vice president of the council, said
the Cuomo report, "if followed to
its logical conclusion, actually
makes a very strong case for 'no
project at all'," a situation which
Lashinsky said the council pre-
ferred.

On Monday, Mayor Lindsay said
that a temporary halt in construc-

sary" and added that he wanted to
examine a new proposal to turn
one of the three buildings into
middle-income housing.
The proposal by Simeon Golar,

Association.

agreed to make alternate plans for
Jewish students who wish to cele-

the Anti-Defamation League region-
al advisory board and David S.
Zelitch, chairman of the Pennsyl-
vania ADL board's discrimina-
tion committee announced that "the
university has made provisions for
Jewish students not wishing to re-
port on Sept. 17 because of (Yom
Kippur) to delay their arrival until
Sept. 19.
Approximately 7,500 Jewish stu-
dents attend the Pennsylvania State
University system, according to
Samuel L. Gaber, regional di-
rector of the ADL.
Earlier this year, the univer-
sity invited the AUL to assist
school officials in developing ar-
proprhte alternative arrange-
ments for Jewish students, Wall
said. Students now will be allow-
ed to make-up any testing ses-
sions and other activities they
miss, Gaber said,
