Eban Denounces United Nations' PLO Vote
at Akiva Day School Anniversary Celebration
By ALAN HITSKY
Citing the killing of women
and children at Ma'alot and
the cold-blooded murder of
children one-by-one at Kiryat
Shemona by the Palestine
Liberation Organization, for-
mer Israel Foreign Minister
Abba Eban denounced the
United Nations for 'its invi-
tation to the PLO.
Speaking at the Akiva
Hebrew Day School 10th an-
niversary celebrations Oct.
31, Eban condemned the UN
vote permitting the PLO to
speak because it "declares
this group of professional
assassins leaders of a group
of people who have never
been permitted a plebiscite."
THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
Eban presented the Spir-
itual Bridges Award of the
World Zionist Organization
to Akiva, which was ac-
cepted for the school by its
principal, Rabbi Joseph
Shjchatowitz.
The award recognizes
Akiva's work in tying the
American Jewish community
to Israel with its 12th grade

lishfent and development of
