As a service
to the community

Meanwhile, thousands
of Moscow Jews gave a
thunderous welcome to the
five-man Israeli weight-
lifting team who arrived in
the Soviet capital for the
international weight-lift-
ing tournament.

They are the first Israeli
sportsmen to go to the So-
viet Union since 1973 when
Israeli footballers were
hooted at and some Jewish
spectators were beaten and
harassed.
Meir Meshel, captain of
the team, said that when
the team went to Kol Nidre
services at the Moscow Syn-
agogue they were mobbed
y thousands of Jews who
tried to embrace or touch
them.
Another group of Israeli
athletes — six wrestlers —
were in Minsk for Yom Kip-
pur. Services were held at a
makeshift synagogue on the
outskirts of the city. There
were seats for only 25 but
hundreds of Jews came to
welcome the Israeli visitors.

Move for Israel Ouster
From UN Seen as Harmful

UNITED
NATIONS
(JTA) — Israel's Ambassa-
dor to the United Nations,
Chaim Herzog, said that
there is now a consensus
among UN members that a
move to expel Israel would
do more harm to the world
organization than to Israel.
He said, at the same time
however, that the possibility
that such a move would be
initiated by Arab extre-
mists could not be excluded.
The Israeli envoy made
those remarks shortly be-
fore the General Assembly
convened for its 30th annual
session and only hours after
the delegate of Syria de-
manded the ouster of Israel
on grounds that it violated
the UN Charter.

The Syrian representa-
tive, Mouffak Allaf,
charged that "the repre-
sentatives of the Zionist
regime who have attended
this session represent a
regime that is racist, ag-
gressive and which occu-
pies by force the territories
of member states of the
UN and violates the essen-
tial conditions for the
qualifications of member-

ship . . . and is a regime
which should be banished
from the General Assem-
bly."

Meanwhile, Archbishop
Joseph L. Bernardin of Cin-
cinnati, president of the
United States Catholic Con-
ference warned in a state-
ment released in Washing-
ton that the expulsion or
suspension of Israel from
the UN would be "unjus-
tified and unwise" and a
blow to the UN itself.
Juan Carlos Blanco, the
Foreign Minister of Uru-
guay, told reporters in Mon-
tevideo last week that his
country is categorically op-
posed to any initiatives to
expel Israel from the UN.
In Washington, AFL-CIO
President George Meany
urged the House to support
an amendment to the for-
eign aid appropriations bill
that would eliminate U.S.
funds to UNESCO and the
International Labor Organi-
zation or to any UN develop-
ment program activity ad-
ministered by either of
those groups.
Both agencies have sought
to oust Israel.

Suez Canal Usage is Down

NEW YORK — Egyptian
officials have convinced
Loyd's of London and other
insurers to lower the war-
risk insurance rate each
ship must pay to travel
through the Suez Canal,
hoping to increase ship pas-
sages.
Ships have been paying a
premium rate of 0.0875 per-
cent of the value of the
cargo. The rate was' lowered
to the world-wide war-risk
rate of 0.0375 percent.
Approximately
2,000
ships have passed through
the Canal since it was re-
opened this summer, or 30
per day, which is half the
pre-1967 War rate. Egypt
has earned nearly $30 mil-
lion in canal tolls since
June.

Egyptian officials would
like to increase the num-
ber of tankers using the
Canal, but reduced need
for oil in the West, and
shippers preferring the
long route around Africa
in order to prevent costly
berthing fees while wait-
ing to unload have reduced
the number of tankers.

The Egyptians, according
to the New York Times,
plan to deepen and widen
the canal by the 1980s so
that it will accommodate
the new, super tankers.
Suez City, Port Said, and
Ismalia, which were aban-
doned by Egypt during the
1967 War, are being rebuilt.
Suez City, which was 80 per-
cent destroyed, now has a
population of 250,000, and
Ismalia has 200,000, or
50,000 more than when it
was abandoned.
Newsweek magazine re-
ported this week that: Israel
will put the new disengage-
ment pact with Egypt to the
test within two weeks. A
ship laden with Israeli cargo
will try to pass through the

Suez Canal. One of the com-
mitments made by Egyp-
tian President Anwar Sadat
was to allow passage for
such ships.
The Israelis are deter-
mined to take him up on
this point before they sign
any papers at Geneva,
where details of the pact are
to be formally worked out.

Arabs Force
Editor's Dismissal

LONDON — Paul Kron-
field, the night editor of the
Athens English language
daily Athens News, has
been dismissed at the
"pressing request" of the
Palestine Liberation Organ-
ization in Greece.
He was dismissed after
headlining a report from
Lima about the PLO being
"accepted" as a member of
the non-aligned nations
meeting there: "Murderers
Legal in Non-Aligned Na-
tions."

According to the London
Jewish Chronicle, after the
newspaper appeared, the
publisher received many
complaints from Arab cir-
cles who threatened that
Arab firms would stop ad-
vertising in the paper.

Friendship

And Ruth said: "Entreat

me not to leave thee, and to
return from following after
thee; for whither thou guest,
I will go; and where thou
lodg- est, I \vill lodge; thy
people shall be my people,
and thy God my God;
"Where thou diest, will I
die, and there will I be bur-
ied; the Lord do so to me,
and more also, if aught but
death part thee and me. -
—Ruth 1:16-17
