7 )er- this to les- ov- hat of GA ff1- see 'al- lu- tse It a at Lenient Halakha Demand Advanced in Women's Plea LONDON (JTA)—A split has developed in the 102-year-old Anglo-Jewish Association over whether it should sup- port a petition recently sent to rabbinical authorities all over the world by the International Council of Jewish Women appeal- ing for measures to relieve Jewish women from certain personal hardships caused by rigid interpretations of Halakha. A meet- ing of the AJA's council. where the petition was to be discussed, was canceled without explanation last week. It was disclosed later that both the chief rabbi and the Dalian', bead of the Sephardic community, and other Ortho- dox members of the council, objected to a discussion. But a large body of members insists that the AJA must not dodge the issue and should come out In support of the petitioners. The women have asked for the convening of a rabbinical assembly to study the problem with a view to alleviating the position of women who want to observe religious law but suffer because of archaic provisions. AJA is a nonsectarian association of Jews established to promote good citizenship and Jewish education. Originally anti-Zionist, it is now non-Zionist but British supports Israel.

New York Supreme Court Justice George C. Mant- zoros, who issued the injunction, also ruled that the Arab group may not refer to itself as the "formerly Arab Anti- Defamation League." Hailing the court's decision, Arnold Forster, ADL's general counsel, noted that the national human relations agency's complaint had charged the Arab group with seeking to exploint ADL's name by using the phrase "Anti-Defamation League" which is a "key and distinc- tive Identifying part of Its name." The general counsel said that "if the Arab organization had been permitted to use the name, the good will of ADL would have been diluted and destroyed." In his permanent injunction, Judge Mantzoros also ruled the Arab group is forbidden to use the Anti-Defa- mation League's abbreviation, ADL, "or any imitation thereof such as AADL or any simulation thereof . . . " The Arab group is additionally forbidden to use the league's name or abbreviation directly or indirectly in its fund raising and other activities. Forster said the Arab group's attempt to use the ADL name or abbreviation is one "in a series of at- tempts by various people to trade upon the excellent reputation the Anti-Defamation League has earned for its work in combating prejudice, bigotry and discrimi- nation and In improving intergroup relations." ADL will celebrate its 80th anniversary this year. Forster said that "since its founding, ADL has suc- cessfully defended its right to the exclusive use of its name against illegal efforts by others to misappropriate it or a distinctive part of it and will continue to do so whenever an attempt is made to exploit and misapprop- riate it."

The blast shattered windows in a 60-yard radius, wrecked parked cars, twisted iron window bars and blew out garage doors all along the block. No injuries were reported. The 'building was empty at the time except for the night watchman, who slept in the rear and was not hurt. This correspondent visited the scene shortly after the explosion occurred at 5 a.m. local time. The street resembled an area hit by an air raid. People from neighboring buildings stood in their pajamas along the street amid debris and splintered glass. Police investigating the blast reported they have no clues regarding the perpetrators. Several local newspapers said they received letters purporting to come from the Black September organization, an Arab terrorist group claiming responsibility for the bombing. Neither the police nor Jewish Agency circles believe there is any connection between the blast and the visit today of Prime Minister Golda Meir of Israel, coming for a meeting of the Socialist International. Nevertheless there was tight security for her visit. The blast occurred one month after a bomb seriously wounded Mahmoud el-Hanshari, representative of the Palestine Liberation Organization in Paris. Hanshari died Tuesday evening. Jewish institutions have asked for and were immediately granted police protection following Tuesday's bombing. The head of Paris' criminal investigation department was heading the probe. The Black September organization Tuesday night claimed responsibility for the attack in letters to the Paris bureaus of the British news agency Reuters and the French agency Agence France Presse. The organization said the attack was a "warning shot" before the arrival of Mrs. Meir. A few hours later, however, the Paris bureau of the Palestine Liberation Organization issued a communique saying that the attack was a result of "Zionist provocation" aiming at turning public attention away from the death of Hanshari. Police officials in Paris were not prepared to comment on the identity of the culprits. They said the investigation is being conducted with the "utmost dilligence."

Asserting that the hostility being vented against Rabbi Goren for his recent decision in the Langer case has its origin in the United States, the 83-year-old presi- dent urged an "immediate aliya of five to 10 gifted American rabbinic authorities who would lend their support to alleviate this crisis." At a meeting with a delegation of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish , Organizations headed by its president Jacob Stein, Shazar stressed the plight of Jews in Syria and Iraq and urged the leadership delegation to mobilize Meeting of Two Presidents: Israel's President Shneour Zalman Shazar met last Friday with President Richard M.

During his meeting with the Zionist leaders headed by AZF' President Israel Miller, Shazar produced a copy of Rabbi Goren's decision entitled "Brother and Sister," and noted that the lengthy responsa was in the "great tradition of the 17th and 18th Century responsa and traces its conclusions through a study of similar decisions of Rabbi Bacharach, an 18th Century talmudic scholar, and the Ifazon Ish (Rabbi Isaiah ICarelitzi of the 20th Century. - Shazar added that he would personally meet with Rabbi Joseph Soloseijchik of Boston in the hope that he would add his prestige to the "spirit of the Houge of -HWel" which was noted in talmudic times for its lenient halakhic decisions.
