Full Watergate Airing Urged

TORONTO — The Bnai
Brith board of governors
called for "a complete air-
ing" of the Watergate
scandal, decriminalization of
marijuana laws and strength-
ened federal standards in the
expenditure of revenue-shar-
ing funds appropriated for
social welfare programs.
The 78-member board,
highest Bnai Brith policy
body, also urged UN inter-
vention to halt "government-
in s pir e d" harassment of
Syrian and Iraqi Jews and
international treaties with en-
forceable sanctions against
nations "that encourage or
give asylum" to Arab ter-
rorists.

In another action, at its
mid-year meeting here, the
board condemned the "hood-
lum-like attacks" of Soviet
security officers on Israeli
athletes and Jewish specta-
tors at the World University
Games in Moscow. The
board's resolution called on
the International Olympic
Committee to reject the
Soviet Union's bid to host
:he 1980 Olympic Games.

sonal use, carried by a one-
vote margin, 19 to 18.
In a policy statement on
revenue sharing, the Bnai
Brith leaders charged that
much of the federal funds
paid to the states "has been
unwisely spent, not for social
services or assistance, but for
public buildings, police uni-
forms and equipment, and
the like and, in some cases,
to reduce local taxes."
The board appealed to UN
Secretary-General Kurt Wald-
heim to "intercede immedia-
tely" on behalf of the Syrian
and Iraqi Jewish commun-
ities, "whose religious, cul-
tural and ethnic identity is
being systematically des-
troyed."

Northern Sinai Gets
Immigrant Settlers

TEL AVIV (JTA) — A new
urban center in the Pithat
Rafah region — between the
Gaza Strip and El Arish in
northern Sinai — got its first
settlers.
The newcomers are recent
arrivals from the Soviet
Union, all of them profes-
sionals who will be working
in the neighboring settle-
ments of S a d o t and Tel
Asarah.
Another group of immi-
grants from the Soviet Union
is due to join them shortly.

The board was closely di-
vided on the marijuana reso-
lution in which only 37 of its
55 American members cast
otes. The resolution, calling
on federal and state govern-
ments to decriminalize pos-
session of marijuana for per- Classifieds Get Quick Results
