NEW YORK (JTA) — Is-
raeli President Ephraim
Katzir attended two syn-
agogue services last Friday
night before returning to
Israel.
Katzir, who was greeted
by congregants, religious
leaders, and leading govern-
ment officials, said that
"despite the clouds, the dif-
ficulties and uncertainties
in the life of Israel, and,. I
fear, of the whole free
world, the joint devotion,
belief and sacrifice'of Israe-
lis and Jews abroad will
continue to make ' possible
what outsiders sometimes
see practically impossible—
the strength and spiritual
creativity of the state of -Is-
rael within a more rational
and peaceful Middle East."
On behalf of the Park
Eust Synagogue's congrega-
tion, Rabbi Arthur Schneier
presented Katzir a mounted
silver Torah breast plate.
At the Fifth Avenue
Synagogue, Katzir was
called for a reading from
the Torah. In his sermon
Rabbi Emanuel Rackman
lauded Katzir as the
"symbol of the unity of the
Jewish people not only in
Israel but throughout the
world." As Katzir entered
the synagogue, the congre-
gation rose and he was
greeted by Rabbi Rack-
man.
Earlier in the week about
100 demonstrators, mostly
.
Arab students, disrupted a
speech by Katzir at the
University of Michigan
Where the molecular biolo-
gist and bio-physicist re-
ceived an honorary docto-
rate.
He was also named as one
of three honorary profes-
sors at the Polytechnic In-
stitute of New York.
During a five day visit to
Boston, he received an hon-

gree from Brandeis Univer-

law against terrorism in the
U.S.' received little backing
in the House of Representa-
tives last year, but a new
version is being prepared.
Heinl says the legislation,
sponsored by Rep. John M.
Ashbrook (R-Ohio), would
punish U.S. citizens who
harbor terrorists, define
terrorist acts, and provide
for the recovery of damages.
But Heinl says the pro-
posed law does not go far
enough because it does not
demand the death penalty
for convicted terrorists.
He argues that two-thirds -
of all acts orinternational
terrorism since 1970 have
had as their objective the
release of imprisoned ter-,
rorists.
The only way to break
this chain, Heinl argues, is
for terrorists to "routinely
pay the death penalty."
"There is perhaps no
known crime that has s
keenly whetted the ap
tites of past perpetrators
future, even gorier, out-
rages. Only in the gas cham-
ber or the electric chair can
these vicious ambitions be
stilled.
"The bodyguard of the
Palestine Liberation Organ-
ization's Yasir Arafat, when
he addressed the UN Gen-
eral Assembly in New York,-
included two of the murder-
ers of our ambassador in
Khartoum, and would be a
good case to begin with."
