Black September Takes the 'Credit' for Murder of Israeli in Cyprus

TEL AVIV (JTA) — The
Black September claimed
Tuesday that it was respon-
sible for the murder in Ni-
cosia, Cyprus, Monday of a
59-year-old Israeli leather
merchant, Simha Glitzer, by
a Jordanian student, Eidan
Sulieman Maali.
According to a terrorist
radio broadcast monitored
here, Glitzer was slain be-
cause he was involved in
"Israeli espionage" in Cy-
prus.
A Nicosia court issued a
detention order Tuesday for
Maali, and police were comb-
ing the island for the killer.
Cypriot police said he might
be hiding out in an Arab
legation.
They said earlier reports
that he may have escaped
aboard a Beirut-bound plane
with a forged passport was
improbable. According to the
police, the Lebanese Airline
plane took off 45 minutes
after the killing, by which
time the airport had been
blocked and a description of
the Jordanian gunman had
been circulated.
The search for Maali was
being hampered, . however,
by the fact that the two
Cypriot communities, Greek
and Turkish, have separate
police forces. The Cypriot
minister of trade and indus-
try expressed shock at the
murder of' Glitzer, who he
knew personally from his
frequent business trips to
Cyprus. Glitzer's body was
flown to Israel Wednesday
for burial.
Police said that the Israeli
businessman, who owned a
eather tannery in Petach
ikva, arrived in Cyprus on
is way home from Israel
rom Europe. But they said
e delayed his departure for
srael for 24 hours to wait
for part of his baggage` that
had gone astray and was
placed on a later plane.
Instead of leaving Cyprus
on Sunday as he planned, he
waited until Monday and was
fatally shot as he was leav-
ing the Nicosia Palace Hotel
on the way to the airport.
Glitzer was described by
riends here as a religiously

observant man who contri-
buted to various yeshivot
and other needy causes.
Israel, European Nations
Eye Curbs on Terrorists
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Is-
rael is currently holding dis-
cussions with several Euro-
pean governments with a
view to cooperating against
El Fatah and Black Septem-
ber terrorism, officials said
here Monday.
Following up on the Khar-
toum tragedy, Israel is
stressing the close links be-
tween the two organizations
and Israeli ambassadors are
suggesting ways in which
host governments can help
with security at Israeli in-
stallations and also receive
from and exchange informa-
tion with Israel about ter-
rorist activities.
Sources here said there
had been a marked improve-
ment in preventative meas-
ures taken against terrorists
by European governments.
But Israel is far from satis-
fied about European treat-
ment of terrorists after they
are captured.
A prominent New York
Jewish journalist was the re-
cipient March 7 of a letter
bomb postmarked Athens,
Greece.
The return address was
the King George Hotel in
that city and the sender's
name was a Rabbi Zombrow-
ski. The source said this was
apparently a fictitious name.
The recipient, known to the
JTA, said the letter was
turned over to postal authori-
ties in New York. The FBI,
which was investigating the
incident, declined to com-
ment on any aspect of the
case.
The police department and
its bomb squad division and
the FBI were maintaining
strict silence about the two
cars found with explosive de-
vices near two Israeli in-
stallations. Full-scale investi-
gations, however, are being
conducted.
One car was found near
the El Al freight terminal
at Kennedy Airport. The sec-
ond car was in front of the
Israel Discount Bank on
Fifth Avenue. Both cars had

Misinterpreted, RZA Charges

NEW YORK (JTA) A reso-

TEL AVIV (JTA) — For-

He noted that a solution to

"The Vaad Hapoel of the

the resolution stated.
It added: "At the same
time, the Vaad Hapoel ex-
presses its deep regret and
resentment that so many
people in the U.S. and else-

The car in • front of the

city's police department be-
cause it was parked illegally
in a tow-away zone. The car
agency discovered the ex-

had been towed on Monday.
Police officials declined to
describe what was in it. A
spokesman for the police

Other sources noted that

Mid East Policy Will Stay Same,
Observers Say of Gaullist Victory

PARIS (JTA)—The Gaul-
list surprise victory in Sun-
day's parliamentary elections
seems to indicate that there
is little likelihood of any ma-
jor change in France's Mid-
dle East policy.
The Gaullists won 267 par-
liamentary seats out of a to-
tal of 490-and can now form
the new French government
without help from the cen-
trist "Reformers" of Rouen
Mayor Jean Lecanuet.
The Reform Party, the
most friendly to Israel and
the only one to have includ-
ed the Middle East on its
electoral platform, only won
28 seats in the new House.
Observers here believe that
even if the Reformers should
eventually join the govern-
ment, they will do so from a
position of weakness and will
not be able to pose any ma-
jor conditions.
In case of Reform-Gaullist
negotiations, the centrist par-
ty will concentrate, observers-
here believe, on issues it con-
siders more vital, such as
European integration and 'the
defense of the franc, now
threatened by the dollar
crisis.
The only positive points
seen by pro-Israel circles is
the relative weakness of the
diehard Gaullist elements

Job Rate Is Up,
Terror Down, Gaza
Observers Note

News correspondents in Is-.
rael have found that the de-
cline of Arab terrorism coin-
cides with the rise in the
standard of living and the as-
similation of Arabs from the
occupied territories into the
Israeli work force.
In September 1972 there
were 15,898 unemployed Ar-
abs in the administered ter-
ritories. Since that time
15,714 have found jobs. Many
commute to and from Tel
Aviv, reports Il Cavour, a
Rome newspaper.
Harold K. Milks of the Ari-
zona Republic reports that
since the Six-Day War about
50,000 Arabs have been as-
similated from the adminis-
tered areas into Israel's eco-
nomic life. This development
has not only eliminated a po-
tential source of terrorist ac-
tivity, but has contributed
substantially to the easing of
economic problems in the oc-
cupied areas, he reports.
"These Arabs are mixing
easily with Israel labor on
the same projects and they
receive equal pay on con-
struction jobs, or in the veg-
etable and fruit fields and
the factories with Israel na-
tionals. Most of them are
good workers and there is no
reason why the 'program can-
not expand substantially." an
Israel official said.

Schumann's failure to be re-
elected to the Hotise. As a
result, it is practically cer-
tain that Schumann will not
be reappointed to his former
cabinet post in the new gOv-
ernment.
A large number of Israel's
friends were re-elected, how-
ever. Foremost among these
were the two Reformist lead-
ers Jean Lecanuet and Jean-
Jacques Servan - Schreiber,
Gen. Pierre Stehlin and Gen.
Ghislain- de Benouville—both
in Paris—and Jewish Deputy
Claude Gerard Marcus.
Jacques Soustelle, a for-
mer minister and a long-
standing friend of Israel, also
successfully managed his po-
litical comeback in the city of
Lyons.
Three men were arrested
Sunday for assaulting a Jew-
ish candidate for the French
Parliament, .. Jean Pierre-
Bloch, and later attacking his
office.
The incident was the only
one with anti-Semitic over-
tones to occur while some 28,-
000,000 Frenchmen went to
the polls.
Bloch, running on the Re-
form Party ticket, was at-
tacked to cries of "Dirty
Jew, you want to buy your
Way -to power." The candi-
date was injured in the face
and his car was damaged.
Bloch is son of the presi-
dent of the League Against
Anti-Semitism (LICA).

Israel Hosts
Soviet Women

JERUSALEM (JTA) — A
three-woman delegation from
the Soviet Union arrived here
to participate in Internation-
al Women's Day, an event
sponsored by the Israel Dem-
ocratic Women's Organization
which had invited the Rus-
sians.
Vera Shukhanova, a history
lecturer at Moscow Univers-
ity who heads the delegation,
told reporters that Soviet and
Israeli women were "fight-
ing the same battle."
The other members of the
delegation, which represents
the Soviet Women's Commit-
tee, are Dr. Zenov Ykobova,
a lecturer in gynecology at
the Kazan Medical School,
and Eluyira Yakoshena of
the Moscow Committee of
Solidarity for Women.
The number of Soviet visi-
tors to Israel since Moscow
broke diplomatic ties with
Jerusalem during the Six-
Day War has dwindled to
such an extent that the pres-
ence of the Soviet women

tention.
Miss Shukhanova said she
and her colleagues were
pleased with the opportunity
to study at first hand the

because Soviet women can
identify with it.

One source replied: "Only
God knows what would have
happened. To the best of my
knowledge, the combination
of the materials found was
very dangerous." The ex-
plosive devices in both cars
were dismantled by police.
Both incidents took place
while Israeli Premier Golda
Meir was visiting the city.
In Copenhagen, Danish
Transport Minister Jens
Kampsmann asked Parlia-
ment for a special budget of
$500,000 to combat skyjack-
ings.
In Khartoum, Sudan, a
special Sudanese commission
investigating the Black Sep-
tember attack on the Saudi
Arabian embassy March 1 in
which three diplomats were
murdered has charged the
eight attackers with four
crimes, including murder, the
government press said.
The eight Palestinian guer-
illas face a maximum pen-
alty of death by hanging on
the murder charge, the gov-
ernment newspaper Al-
Sahafa said.
No date has been set for
the trial.
(On "Face the Nation"
CBS-TV program Sunday,
Secretary of State William
Rogers called the terrorist
murderers in - Khartoum
"savages" and reiterated his
view that they should be
given the death sentence. See
Commentafy, Page 2).
Jewish sources in the So-
viet Union reported that
many letters have been sent
to the American and Belgian
people by Soviet Jews fol-
lowing the murder of the
three diplomats in Khar-
toum.

In a telegram to President
Nixon, 14 Soviet Jews from
Moscow, Kiev and Kharkov
expressed their grief at the
deaths of Ambassador Cleo
A. Noel Jr. and George Cur-
tis Moore, charge d'affaires.
A similar telegram was
sent to King Baudoin of Bel-
King Hussein of Jordan
announced he has commuted
the death sentences passed
against Abou Daoud, a lead-
er of the Al Fatah and 15 of
his colleagues convicted for
subversive activity. Black

three diplomats at Khartoum
had listed Daoud's release as
one of their main demands.

Eid, the Belgian charge

The Belgian Foreign Af-
fairs Ministry revealed that
in its efforts to save Eid's
life, the government sent his
birth certificate to the ter-
rorists in an attempt to con-
vince them that Eid was of
Egyptian rather than Jewish
origin. According to wit-
nesses, the terrorists killed
Eid because they thought he
was Jewish.
