Palestinian Rivalries Threaten Three-Way M.E. Confrontation
NEW YORK — According
to an Associated Press analy-
sis, Palestinian rivalries
threaten a three-way confron-
tation involving guerilla ex-
tremists the established
leadership of Yasir Arafat
and their Lebanese hosts.
Terrorists attacks between
Marxist guerillas and the
Lebanese army underline
Arafat's failure to discipline
individual renegades and
breakaway factions who defy
the authority of his Palestine
Liberation Organization.
A new element entered the
picture when Iraq announced
the arrest of the three Arab
terrorists who carried out the.
Paris airport attack.
Iraq, reportedly the head-
quarters of a guerilla splinter
group, said it would never
again allow planes carrying
"armed persons involved in
such operations (as the Paris
attack) to land in Baghdad."
In the Palestinian rivalries,
a months-old split between
the PLO and the leftist Popu-
lar Front for the Liberation
of Palestine (PFLP), led by
Dr. George Habash, has wid-
ened with mutual threats of
armed conflict. Lebanon is
caught in the middle in that
split.
Extremist factions have de-
fi(id Arafat's authority since
he advocated Palestinian par-
ticipation in any Arab-Israeli
peace talks at Geneva.
Australia Bars PLO Visit
MELBOURNE (JTA) —
After widespread protests
the Australian government
last week rejected a request
by the Palestine Liberation
Organization to send a five-
man delegation to visit Aus-
tralia.
The Prime Minister, Gough
Whitlam, announced the gov-
ernment's decision after a
cabinet meeting in Canberra
had considered the storm of
offosition raised by the pro-
posal. Whitlam said he "re-
gretted the need to ban the
visit but the decision was
necesary because "at this
time it would exacerbate di-
vision in the community."
The government's refusal
to issue visas to the PLO was
a reversal of an earlier agree-
ment to allow the PLO dele-
gation to come here provided
that its members passed a
security check. One member
of the delegation, Abdul. Ha-
mad, had already been re-
jected after being identified

Although Jewish communal
organizations launched a ma-

the proposed visit, the most
telling opposition to the PLO
came from within the ranks
of the governing Labor Party
itself.

NJCRAC Names Vice Chairman
NEW YORK — Lewis D.
Cole, chairman of the Na-
tional Jewish Community Re-
lations Advisory Council, has
announced the selection of
Albert D. Chernin, executive
director of the Jewish Com-
munity Relations Council of
Greater Philadelphia, to suc-
ceed Isaiah M. Minkoff, exec-
utive vice chairman of the
NJCRAC, on his retirement
later this year.
No date for Chernin's as-
sumption of the office has yet
been fixed, said Cole. He re-
called that Minkoff, when he
announced his intention of
retiring, had indicated that
he wished to do so not later
than this year's annual ses-
sion, scheduled for June in
New York.
"Isaiah Minkoff, who has
guided the NJCRAC as its
chief executive officer since
its creation 31 years ago,
cannot be replaced, for his
experience of the last three
decades is unique," Cole
said. "We are most fortun-
ate, however, to have found
the ideal successor to Isaiah
in Al Chernin — whose dis-
tinguished professional ca-
reer in Jewish community
relations spans more than
two of the three decades of
NJCRAC history and who
throughout that career has
been closely and continuous-
ly associated with the
NJCRAC.
