awarded Geza Seifert, 68, the
"Gold Medal for Work," one
of Hungary's highest honors.

community leader has re-
ceived such an award,
sources here indicated.
Seifert, chairman of the
Central Board of Jewish
Communities,- received the
medal on the occasion of the
Hungarian national holidays
commemorating the Russian
expulsion of the Nazi troops
in Hungary in 1945.

the Gestapo but managed to
escape shortly before the
Russian troops arrived. He
was recently elected for the
second time as chairman of
the Central Board.

Lebanon's Complaints Rejected by Israel
(Continued from Page 1)
any state "on any pretext
whatever."
Israel flatly rejected Leb-
anon's contention that it did
not harbor the terrorists who
massacred 18 persons in Kir-
yat Shemona. "We have
come before the Security
Council to point again an ac-
cusing finger at the govern-
ment of Lebanon and all oth-
ers which harbor, assist and
cooperate with Arab terror-
ist organizations and to em-
phasize that they will not be
absolved of their obligation
to prevent armed attacks
against Israel, whether by
regular forces or by irregu-
lar forces," Tekoah told the
Security Council.
Tekoah, calling the outrage
"murder for murder's sake,"
enumerated a long list of
terrorist assaults against Is-
rael from Lebanese territory
during and since the Yom
Kippur War in which Leba-
non was not a belligerent.
He also described in detail.
the infiltration of Israel by
the Kiryat Shemona terror-
ists from Lebanon April 11,
how their tracks were spot-
ted by an Israeli border pa-
trol which followed them to
Kiryat Shemona where "the
terrorists were already on
their sanguinary rampage."
The Israeli envoy recited
the names of the 18 victims,
eight of them children. He
quoted international wire
service dispatches on the fol-
lowing day's commando
raids by Israel to confirm
that the action was not re-
venge4notivated retaliation
but intended to warn the Leb-
anese authorities to shoulder
their responsibilities against
terrorists.
"It is to be noted that the
Israeli action was directed
not against terrorist bases
on Lebanese soil but against
the houses of known terrorist
collaborators i,n cluding
homes of villagers in which
the murderers had stopped
over on their way to Kiryat
Shemona," Teko a h said.
"Our objective at the time
was political, not military,"
he declared.
Speaking before Tekoah,
Foreign Minister Fouad Naf-
fah of Lebanon' accused Is-
rael of aggression and urged
the Security Council to im-
plement previous resolutions
calling for economic sanc-
tions against Israel. "In at-
tacking six Lebanese vil-
lages, Israel has committed
an armed and obvious act of
Is I t
aggression," Fouad said. He
denied Israel's charge that
the Kiryat Shemona terror-
ists came from Lebanon. He
said that if Israel felt it had
a legitimate case it should
have complained to the Se-
curity Council.

to Israel Still Being Debated
JERUSALEM (JTA)—For-
eign Minister Abba Eban re-
ported Sunday to the cabinet
that contacts with Washing-

tion with the $2.2 billion in
aid to Israel which the U. S.
has promised.
The U. S. Congress voted
the $2.2 billion as an aid
package last December but
specified that Israel should
repay $700,000,000. Congress
also stipulated that President
Nixon should determine how
Much of the remaining $1.5

It is still hoped here that
