Tension Mounts on Golan Hts.
as End of UN Mandate Nears
TEL AVIV (JTA) —
Shooting incidents and the
escalation of tension by
Syria on the Golan Heights
were attiributed by Israeli
circles to the approaching
deadline for renewal of the
mandate of the United Na-
tions Disengagement Ob-
servers Force (UNDOF)
which expires Nov. 30. As in
the past, when the date for
renewal neared, the Syrians
seek to re-enforce their
extremist rhetoric with ac-
tions on the border, the cir-
cles said.
Israel, nevertheless, is
taking a serious view of the
shots fired Monday at an
Israeli patrol on the Golan
Heights by Syrian forces
and has lodged a formal
complaint with UN head-
quarters.
Military circles say the
Syrians maintain tight dis-
cipline on their troops along
the disengagement line and
the firing could not have
been accidental. They de-
nied Syrian claims that four
Israeli soldiers were
wounded.

ing, Israel has complained
to the UN of two Syrian
violations of Israel air-
space.
The Israeli army ex-
pressed regrets over the fa-
tal shooting of two Syrian
shepherds who crossed the
Israeli disengagement line
on Golan Heights and failed
to heed warning shouts and
warning shots fired into the
air.
The army also denied alle-
gations emanating from
Damascus, Moscow and the
terrorist radio stations that
Israel has concentrated its
forces on the northern bor-
der.
They said reports that
Israel has shifted guns and
missiles from the Sinai to
the Golan are absolutely
groundless.
Meanwhile, at the UN,
consultations among mem-
bers of the Security Coun-
cil were underway this
week on the extension of
the United Nations Emer-
gency Force's mandate in
Sinai. The current man-
date of UNEF expires to-
day.
According to sources the
extension of UNEF's man-
date for an additional
12-month period "is not
going to be easy," because
the Soviet Union, a perma-
nent member of the Secu-
rity Council, is raising some
objections about the new
mandate.
The Russians reportedly
object to extending the pe-
riod of the mandate from six
months to 12 months. They
are also objecting to the in-
creased cost of operating
UNEF as requested by Sec-
retary General Kurt Wal-
dheim in his report on
UNEF several days ago to
the Security Council. The
Security Council, however,
is not likely to meet before
Wednesday on UNEF.

the Egyptians did to the

Council of Federations Meeting
to Consider National Priorities
NEW YORK — More
than 2,500 representatives
from the organized Jewish
communities of the United
States and Canada will at-
tend the 44th General As-
sembly of the Council of
Jewish Federations and
Welfare Funds (CJF) to be
held in Miami Beach, Nov.
19-23.
•
The leade 's of the Jewish
Federations and Welfare
Funds serving 800 Jewish
communities will consider
the wide range of human
needs at home, in Israel,
and other countries over-
seas. The community lead-
ers will plan how best to
carry out Federation's role
and responsiblitiies in max-
imizing aid and services.
The assembly will include
seven.plenary sessions, four
major forums, and nearly
100 workshops.
Among the primary areas
of concern to be deliberated
at the General Assembly in
Miami are:
• American support for a
just peace in the Middle
East.
• The impact of the infla-
tionary spiral and recession
on Jewish needs and the
steps necessary to meet
them.
• Consideration of a
proposal for a new merged
national agency for leader-
ship and service in Jewish
education and culture.
• The 1976 campaigns
viewed against the lessons
of the 1975 experience in an
effort to meet the massive
needs in the year ahead.
• Bicentennial perspec-
tives: American Jewry's
participation in this 200th
anniversary year.
• The extent and limita-
tions of government funding
of voluntary agencies in the
United States.
• The current plight of
Soviet Jews and the actions
required to meet their needs
Rabbi Mihaly cautioned
that "we must encourage
symbolism but to do so criti-
cally. We must help our
members find spiritual val-
ues in poetry, art, irr ritual
and prayer, making certain
however that symbolisms do
not become fads but true ex-
pression of the inner self."
