International Pilots' Threats
Added to UN's Israel Censure

Norwegian Government
Declares Israeli Official
to Be Persona Non Grata

OSLO (JTA)—The Norwegian government Tuesday
declared Israeli Embassy officer Yigal Eyal persona non
grata and ordered him expelled.
Foreign Minister Dagfinn Vaarvik called in Israel's
ambassador to inform him of the decision, which followed
a meeting of the parliament's foreign relations committee.
Eyal is the Israeli official in whose home police
arrested two Israelis suspected of having shot to death a
30-year-old Moroccan citizen, Ahmed Boushicki, in the
resort town of Lillehammer.
The Israel Foieign Ministry reacted in low key to
the Norwegian declaration.
In an official communique, the foreign ministry said
it accepted the Norwegian announcement with regret.
The Israeli announcement was interpreted here as a
clear attempt on the Israeli side to keep things down,
and not to worsen the relations between the two countries.
This line also was expressed in the words of Israel's
ambassador to Norway, Yitzhak Keenan, to an Israeli
radio reporter, saying despite the Norwegian announce-
ment, his relations with the Norwegian officials continued
to be very good.
Foreign ministry officials did not remember any
precedence of the expulsion of an Israeli diplomat from
a Western country.
Meir Rosenne, legal adviser of the Israeli Foreign
Ministry, returned home from Oslo without being able
to see and talk to the two detained Israelis. Two well-
known Norwegian lawyers were assigned to defend them
and deal with their case.
An investigating magistrate has remanded the two
Israelis for 12 weeks, and a local court has confirmed
this order.
Norwegian police have issued "wanted bulletins"
through Interpol for four other people wanted in connec-
tion with the Boushicki slaying.
At the United Nations, the Norwegian delegation said
it had received a threat of a "terrorist attack" in a tele-
phone call.
The caller reportedly said that other Norwegian gov-
ernment offices would be targets.
A Norwegian delegation spokesman said the threat
was linked to the government's arrest of the Israeli agents
following the Lillehammer slaying.

Incurring unanimous, condemnation from the 15-member United Nations Security Council,
including the rebuke from the United States, Israel now risks negative action also from the Inter-
national Civil Aviation Organization.
Condemnation by the pilots is creating added concern for Israel, in an act that involved
the interception of the Iraqi-chartered airliner in a search for Arab terrorist leaders Aug. 10.
Public opinion in Israel also is divided on the question, and the equating of the latest act
with the capture of Adolf Eichmann is being widely rejected.
A blistering attack on international terrorism Tuesday by U.S. Ambassador to the UN John
Scali included a sharp rebuke of Israel's interception of the Middle East Airlines plane—a crit-
icism that made the Israeli delegation less than happy.
The Security Council warned Israel that if
this type of act is repeated the council "will con-

The resolution, sponsored jointly by Britain

He said that no more than 25,000 Jews will be
permitted to emigrate this year-5,000 fewer than
last year.
Under there circumstances, Reid said he be-
lieved Congress is likely to adopt the Jackson
Amendment. Reid was here on a private visit. His
wife and two sons are with him.
In Vienna, Reid said, "I think there is much
more the administration could do to speed up emi-
gration of Soviet Jews to Israel."
Considering this question, the White House should
not forget that the Soviet Union is "anxious for
more trade."
Sources in the Soviet Union report that the
Kremlin, far from easing up on its treatment of
Jews, actually is cracking down harder than ever
on Soviet minorities.
The reports come from a handful of Jews in
Russia called by members of the Union of Councils
for Soviet Jews.
The Russian Jews tell of increased harassment
by the KGB, the Soviet secret police, and of ab-
bitrary arrests and imprisonment on trumped-up
charges.

New Jewish Center Ground Breaking on Sept. 23

week. Louis G. Redstone Associates are the architects.

Detailed story of completed plans for new Center on Page 6.

Yosef Tekoah, Israel's ambassador to the UN,
said the resolution was "the customary one-sided

text this organ is producing on the Middle East."
He said the council has never considered "the
murders of Israeli children, men and women."
"The government of Israel will continue to
struggle against Arab terrorism with determina-
tion and unswerving firmness," Tekoah asserted.
"It will continue to protect the lives of its citizens.
It will give no quarter to the ruthless killers of the
innocent. It will pursue them and strike at them
until mankind is rid of this bloodthirsty savagery."
Tekoah said the UN "is unable to cope with
international terror in general and with Arab ter-
rorism in particular." He said council members
are among countries that have refused to try ter-
rorists or have released convicted terrorists.
In Washington, a State Department source
said Wednesday that John Scali, U.S. ambassador
to the UN, tried to "calibrate" his statement in the
Security Council at the same level as that of the
State Department's declaration Saturday in which

W. Asia Group's Anti-Israel Move
Called Violation of UN's Charter

GENEVA (JTA) — The United Nations has established an Economic
Commission for Western Asia under ground rules that would exclude Israel
from all participation, despite American charges that the move is a viola-
tion of the UN charter. The UN Economic and Social Council adopted a
Lebanese resolution setting up the new regional commission, designed to
encourage cooperation among nations in the area. The vote was 33-8, with
nine abstentions.
The effect of the resolution will be to put the official UN stamp on the
political isolation of Israel from its neighbors. However, the practical eco-
nomic impact is expected to be insignificant. Article 2 of the UN Charter
establishes "the principle of the sovereign equality of all . . . members."
The Americans tried to postpone the establishment of the commission until
a ruling on its legality could be obtained from the World Court, but the U.S.
resolution was defeated.
The Lebanese resolution would exclude Israel from the new commission
by opening membership only to those nations now using the services of the
UN economic office in Beirut — the Arab states — and leaving it to these
states to approve new members and decide which nations to invite as
observers. Other regional economic commissions of the UN — for Latin
America, Africa, Europe and Asia-Far East — are open to all nations in
the region, and any UN member can sit in as an observer. Commission
expenses are paid out of the regular UN budget, to which Israel and all
other nations contribute.
