S. Pilots Also Endorse Anti-Israel Action MONTREAL (JTA) —The general council of the International Civil Aviation Organization on Monday adopted unanimously a resolution con- demning Israel for intercepting a Lebanese airliner Aug. 10 and forcing it to land at an Israeli airbase. The special meeting requested by Lebanon was attended by 28 of the 30 member nations of the council. Nicaragua and Nigeria were not present. ICAO, a special agency of the United Nations, has 128 members. The resolution also recommended that when the ICAO general assembly meets in Rome Aug. 28 to take steps to protect air travel, it consider the Israeli "actions." The ICAO diplomatic conference, which will meet in Rome at the same time as the general assembly, was urged to "make provisions in its deliberations for acts of unlawful interference by states." An ICAO spokesman explained that until recently all acts against civil aviation were committed by individuals. The ICAO, council meeting was closed to the press and lasted more than four hours. Israeli Consul General David Ephrati said that the ICAO resolution condemning Israel "could have been expected as an automatic sequence to the Arab countries' request." Ephrati stated that the ICAO has consistently failed to adopt any effective measure to cope with terrorism against civil aviation. It was this failure, he noted, that led to Israel's interception of the Lebanese airliner Aug. 10. He described that incident as "definitely a measure of a rare nature of legitimate self-defense." Ephrati asserted that "As long as ICAO and other international agencies, as well as individual states, will not act effectively against Arab Rogers Resigns; Kissinger to Be His Successor Dr. Henry A. Kissinger was named U.S. secretary of state by President Nixon on Wed- nesday. He will succeed Wil- liam P. Rogers, whose resig- nation the President an- nounced simultaneously with his presentation of Kissin- ger's name as his successor. The nomination of Kissinger went to the U.S. Senate for confirmation. Related Stories, Page 11 terrorism, Israel will be obliged, as a last resort, to take measures of self- defense." Moufid Abouchacra, representative of Lebanon at the ICAO meet- ing, told a press conference that his country was "happy with the unanimous vote" and termed the resolution "a good compromise as there were no sanc- tions involved now." However, he added, "we cannot predict what is going to happen in Rome (when the ICAO general assembly convenes). But we hope that we may get more efficient measures against Israel. Lebanon was, from the be- ginning, opposed to sanctions against Israel, but with actions happening here and there Lebanon may yet change its position." Abouchacra did not elaborate on what he meant by actions here and there. Earlier, in Washington, Secretary of State William P. Rogers was asked by the U.S. Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) to consider taking steps to suspend Israeli commercial air service to and from the U.S. unless Israel promises not to repeat interception of an Arab airliner. In its message to Rogers. ALPA stated that Israel should give assurance "to the international aviation community that illegal acts such as those engaged in against an Iraqi commercial airliner over Lebanese airspace will not occur again." The ALPA letter to Rogers also stated that if Israeli assurances are not "forthcoming, the U.S. government should consider the possibility of suspending commercial air services by Israeli aircraft, to and from the U.S., until they are obtained." The letter added that the administration should consider developing a similar policy to deal with any future violations of international civil Israeli Cagers Defy Harassment at World Games in Moscow, Win Over Puerto Rico 77-61 LONDON (JTA) — Mounting harassment that has dogged the 25-member Israeli team participating in World College Student Olympics in Moscow since the games opened a week ago erupted at a basketball game Tuesday during which Red Army soldiers ripped two Israeli flags held up by Jewish spectators. According to sources in the Soviet Union, about 20 Jews were attacked by a crowd as they left the game. Three Jews were arrested and taken to a police station. They were identified as Victor Polsky, 43, his 14-year-old daughter Marina and Alexander Yoffe, 16. The basketball game Tuesday, in which Israel defeated Puerto Rico 77-61, was played in the small Central Army Club gym. Soldiers, some in uniform and some in sweatsuits, who made up about a quarter of the crowd, jeered and whistled derisively every time the Israeli players had the ball. (The Bolshoi Ballet got less than a warm welcome in Detroit Monday night when demonstrators disrupt. ed a performance at Masonic Temple. See story page 5) Shouts of "Zhyd" (Jew) rang through the gym when a group of Jewish spectators held up a paper flag with a blue star of David. It was torn from their grasp and ripped by soldiers in uniform. There was another brief scuffle during the second half of the game when uniformed soldiers seated in front of Jews tried to rip another small Israeli flag. The game was the third in which the Israeli team was the target of apparently organized jeering led by Russian soldiers and cadets who packed the arena. Jewish sources in Moscow said that Jewish ticket holders were barred by militia men from entering the arena at the earlier games. Adin Talbar, head of the Israeli delegation, protested the harassment to the International University Sports Federation Sunday. The IUSF granted his request to send a member of its executive committee to "observe that no organized harassment of any kind be allowed." But no IUSF representative was present at Sunday's game when Israel .played Cuba, and none attended Tuesday's game, .Talbar said. (In Amstermdam Wednesday, the Dutch "Democrat 1966" Party. a member of the government coali- tion, appealed to the Netherlands premier and foreign minister to protest to Soviet authorities against the treatment of Soviet Jews and Israel athletes at the University Games.) According to sources in the Soviet Union, the Israeli athletes have been kept under virtual house ar- rest in the Olympic Village. Their telephone is blocked, they are excluded from sightseeing tours and are not permitted to mingle with the local population. They said spectators screamed "Zhyd" at Israeli student track star Yuval Wischnitzer when he took the lead in the 500-meter semifinals and may have thrown him off stride. Wischnitzer came in second to qualify for the Wednesday finals.
