have spirited aboard bombs
which exploded prematurely,
sources indicated.
The sabotage theory was
given credence by the fact
that six bodies and pieces
of fusilage were found nine
miles from the crash site,
indicating an explosion in
the plane while in flight.
Turkish terrorists working
with the PFLP openly threat-
ened the Turkish government
with "reprisals" after sev-
eral terrorists were killed by
Turkish security' forces last
year.
The three Arabs accused
of planning to blow up an
El Al airliner last September
have refused to appear at
their trial in Rome.
Currently in an Italian
prison, the three men, an
Algerian, Iraqian and a
Lebanese, said their refusal
was an affirmation of their
innocence and said they were
putting their trust in Italian
justice.
The trial went ahead de-
spite the absence of the de-
fendants and it is believed
they will be expelled from
Italy to avoid possible Arab
reprisals.
Italian investigators are
reported to have found So-
viet-made SAM-7 rockets in
the apartments of the de-
fendants who were arrested
last September.
Two other Arabs were also
arrested at the time but later
released temporarily and it

is believed they have sought
refuge in Libya.
The five Arab terrorists
who fire-bombed an Ameri-
can jetliner in Rome last
December, killing 31 per-
sons, were flown from Ku-
wait to Cairo_ Saturday for
trial before _ a guerrilla
"revolutionary court."
The five, handed to the
Kuwait office of the Pales-
tine Liberation Organization
(PLO), have been in Kuwait
custody since Dec. 17. They
sought refuge there after the
Rome airport attack.
Egypt was the only Arab
country that agreed to have
their trial staged on its terri-
tory.

Explosive Charge
Found in Bus
TEL AVIV (JTA) — An
explosive charge in an in-
cendiary bomb was discov-
ered Feb. 28 in a bus a few
minutes before it was timed
to explode in Rishon le Zion,
south of Tel Aviv.
A suspicious parcel be-
neath the rear seat attracted
the attention of one passen-
ger who informed the driver.
Police discovered a two
•kilogram bomb which could
have caused significant dam-
age and casualties.
The bus had brought work-
ers from the Gaza Strip to
Tel Aviv and then made an-
other trip to Rishon le Zion,
where the bomb was found.

NY Housing Project
Dispute Ends in Accord

NEW YORK (JTA) — A
dispute between Jewish and
Puerto Rican groups which
has kept a new housing pro-
ject on Manhattan's Lower
East Side vacant for more
than two years was ended
when Federal Judge Morris
Lasker signed an order ap-
proving a compromise settle-
ment.
Under the plan, which
Judge Lasker called "a just
settlement of a difficult and
complex dispute," apartments
in two low-income buildings
in the Seward Park Exten-
Friday, March 8, 1974-17 sion Urban Renewal area
will be occupied on a 60 to
40 nonwhite to white ratio,
including an estimated 120
Jewish families.
In complicated litigation
which preceded the settle-
ment, Judge Lasker had pre-
viously granted first priority
to former occupants of build-
ings on the site which had
been demolished to make
room for the housing pro-
ject.
Judge Lasker said approval
of the plan would prevent
further delay in occupancy
of the 360 apartments in
the two 23-story buildings.
He said the settlement offer-
ed s "nice balance, not only
between the races but be-
tween the rights of the
parties."
Litigation began when for-
mer Puerto Rican residents
brought suit because the City
Housing Authority gave pref-
erence to families outside the
designated area, most of them
Jewish.
The National Jewish Com-
mission on Law and Public
Affairs (COLPA) and the
Legal Aid Society repre-
sented the Jewish Council
of the Lower East Side, co-
ordinating agency for aid to
the area's Jewish poor.
A COLPA spokesman said
the housing authority initially
granted 171 leases out of 360
to residents of nearby areas.
After several lower court
rulings, including one by
Judge Lasker, in favor of
the Pureto Rican suit, the
federal Court of Appeals re-
versed the lower courts and
ordered the case back to
Judge Lasker for a trial of
the issues, particularly the
question of ghettoization.
A series of conciliation
meetings, to avoid a trial,
followed, whcih led to the

settlement approved by Judge
Lasker.
The COLPA spokesman
noted that •the Court of Ap-
peals decision in the case
could have major constitu-
tional significance on priori-
ties in public housing pro-
jects.
The appeals court upheld
the contention of COLPA and
the Legal Aid Society that
the housing authority's regu-
lations giving preference in
new buildings to prior site
residents need not be applied
automatically where the re-
sults would be creation of a
non-white ghetto. -
Under the ruling, also, the
spokesman said, while reli-
gious beliefs may not nor-
mally be used as a basis for
assignment of public housing
apartments, Jewish families
could be relocated•from other
public housing and assigned
space in a concentrated area
of a new project near a syna-
gogue they used regularly,
if their safety and physical
well being were jeopardized
by their disbursement
throughout an otherWise hos-
tile community.

Dayan Says Aliya
Vital to Survival

RAMAT GAN — Israel
must have a constant immi-
gration if it is to survive,
said Defense Minister Moshe
Dayan at a 90-minute ques-
tion-answer session with Bar-
Ilan University students.
Dayan stated: "At one
time the question was wheth-
er the Jews should have a
state, and then how they
should get one. Now it is how
we should maintain it . . .
The majority of the Jewish
people are still abroad, and
we must have a constant im-
migration if we are to sur-
vive . . . We must be a state
to which - lieople will want to
come. The way we live now
is not conducive to making
Jews from the outside desire
to join us here. They are
coming from the free world,
and cannot be forced here.
We must. create here an im-
age of a nation to which they
will want to come."
