BETWEEN 11 and 12 MILE RD. NEW YORK — Sutton Place Congregation dedi- cated their new synagogue this week at 225 E. 51st St. in New York. Construction of the build- ing, whose facade of rough stone blocks matches that of the adjoining minipark, re- flects an unusual demo- graphic situation in Man- hattan. In contrast to the upper West Side, which has lost Jewish congregants over the decade, or the Lower East Side, whose Jewish commu- nity is half what it was 15 years ago, the Jewish com- munity in the mid and up- per East Side has been in- creasing. "This is one of the few growing neighborhoods of Jewish life left in the city," said Rabbi David B. Ka- hane, who has been spirit- ual leader of the Conserva- tive synagogue for 22 years.

Eban Scores PLO at IPU Parley LONDON (JTA) — For- mer Foreign Minister Abba Eban declared at the Inter- Parliamentary Union (IPU) conference here that "Israel is not going to disappear or apologize for its sovereign existence." The Israeli diplomat's speech was a resounding reply to Palestine Libera- tion Organization spokes- man Khaled el Hassan who demanded at the same forum that "the Zionist State" give way to "the crea- tion of a democratic secular state" of Palestine "wherein the Jews would have full rights." The Israeli delegation left the hall when the PLO rep- resentative spoke and the United States delegation was absent. Eban deplored the PLO's presence, at the invitation of the IPU, as another indication of the decline in parliamentary democracy. Earlier, Israel withdrew its request to the IPU to cancel the invitation to the PLO to send observers to the conference, while mak- ing it clear that it had not dropped its opposition to a PLO participation. In his speech, Eban urged the establishment of a per- manent peace in the Middle East of the kind that exists between former enemies, such as Germany, France and America, the Soviet Union and Japan.
